Tyronn Lue’s life seems to be someone else’s background. When it comes to his player period, people think of Iverson crossing his picture. When it comes to his coaching era, people always think of LeBron James. It seems that all the successes of Tylen Lue are due to a LeBron James player in his team. LeBron James can indeed solve many problems, but Tyronn Lue is indeed underestimated.
After the Cavaliers won the championship trophy, Tyronn Lu did not get the respect he deserved. Not long after LeBron James left the Cavaliers, Tyronn Lue also parted ways with the Cavaliers. The reason is simple. Tyronn Lue wanted to lead the team to continue to make the playoffs, and the Cavaliers management thought it was bad. Terun Lu, who left the Cavaliers, was once an unemployed person, but fortunately, Rivers gave Teren Lu a position of chief assistant.
Last season's Los Angeles Clippers is undoubtedly disappointing. They have the most luxurious lineup in the league, but they were reversed by the Nuggets with a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinals. . Rivers dismissed get out of class in shame, and quarreled with Paul George. Under such circumstances, Tylen Lue became the head coach of the Clippers. When everyone was ready to watch the jokes, Tyronn Lu took the Clippers, won a wave of five consecutive victories, and returned to the first place in the Western Conference.
The Clippers have won five consecutive victories, averaging 19.6 points per game.
The Los Angeles Clippers have won five consecutive victories. After five games, the team's offensive efficiency has come to the league's first position. In the first scene against the Bulls, the Clippers only won by 3 points, but they also scored 130 points. Then they won by 5 points against the Pelicans. In the first two games, the Clippers still won such a difficult situation. He averaged 19.6 points per game, because the next three games were big wins.
Faced the Kings, beat their opponents by 38 points, then won the Pacers by 33 points, and then faced the Kings again,It was another 19-point victory. The Los Angeles Clippers seem to be a team on another level. They have made at least 15 three-pointers in these five games, just like the Golden State Warriors in those years.
The core of the Clippers is still Leonard and George of last season. Although they came Ibaka and Batum, they also lost Harrell. Shamet was replaced by Kennard, a more stable three-pointer, but the gap between the two was not much. So why, this team will have such a radical change? The answer lies in Tylenluw.
Open up the space, the capsicum linkage
The first thing after Tylen Lue coaches is to open up the space. Zubac, who has been starting last season, came to the bench. Ibaka mentioned the starting lineup. This change is easy to understand. Although Zubac has a protective frame and excellent rebounds, his offensive range is limited, and there is no offensive threat after leaving the penalty area. But Ibaka is different. It has an excellent three-pointer and can pull the opponent's inside line beyond the three-point line. Leonard and George have space for breakthroughs.
Leonard and George were both one of the best offensive players at the time. No matter who breaks through the penalty area, they can attract double-teams. The Clippers have Batum , Ibaka and Beverly, both have excellent three-pointers. There are Lu Wei and Kennard and Morris on the bench, three-point ability even better than the starting. When the space came out, the Clippers' three-pointers went up, and it was a matter of course that the Clippers made more than 15 three-pointers in five consecutive games.
In addition, there is the capsicum linkage. Leonard and George are no longer single individuals. When they are on the court at the same time, they pick and roll each other and run positions, and then connect the teams. Everyone knows that the Clippers lack a real playmaker, three guards, Lu Wei averaged 2.5 assists, Beverly averaged 2.1 assists, Reggie averaged 2.1 assists, what should we do?
At this time, Tyron Lue remembered the time he coached LeBron James.Irving is also not a player who is good at organizing, but LeBron James is here and the ball can move. Now Tyron Lue has two aces in his hand, so the problem is very simple. Leonard averaged 5.8 assists per game, the team first, George averaged 5.6 assists per game, the team second. As well as the last game against the Kings, George sent 12 assists.
Without James, Tyronn Lue can also be number one in the league
What kind of head coach is Tyron Lue? In the impression of many people, he has no abilities, tactical flexibility is not enough, and easy to lose the chain at critical moments, so he has a 51-point defeat against the Lone Ranger. But there is a bright spot in Taren Lue, that is, the humanity and sophistication. What is sophistication? It's not about the team's superstars, nor is it tough on the team's role players, but treats everyone equally.
At the Cleveland Cavaliers , the head coach Blatter led the team to watch the video and saw Shumpert’s defensive mistakes, Blatter would immediately point out that Jones did not To keep up with the opponent, Blatter will look back repeatedly and then severely criticize it, but when he sees James making a mistake, Blatter will simply omit and say nothing. This is the normal reaction of most coaches, but it is easy to cause conflicts in the team. Just like the Clippers last season, many players are dissatisfied with the privileges of George and Leonard.
So how did Terenlu do? When Love performs badly, when he doubts himself, he will tell him, be yourself, you are a three-time All-Star. Seeing that James has no fighting spirit, he will immediately criticize him. You must act like a leader. You will end sooner or later.
So we saw that the small card that was in constant rotation last season, 15 games this season, Leonard only missed 2 games because of injuries, and then even played with a mask. This is a change in the attitude of a player, which proves that he is completely integrated into the team. This is Taryn Lue’s emotional intelligence. He is teammates with Jordan and Kobe, coaching James Owen, and now coaching Leonard George,He is like a fish in water.
