Chapter 757 Tyronn Lu Comes Out of the Mountain (Second Update!)

The Cavaliers announced that they have resigned as head coach of David Blatt, and Tyronn Lue, the team's first assistant coach, will temporarily serve as the interim coach.

This news shocked fans and the media.

Although there were many radical fans calling for Blatt to be fired before the All-Star Game, most of them were angry words directed at the team's poor performance.

And those are only a handful.

Blatter has a remarkable record of coaching in the European League for more than 20 years. He has won 11 championships in Israel in 6 years. He has won the European Championship as the coach of Russia and won an Olympic bronze medal at the London Olympics. He is a standard coach.

He has been with the Cavaliers for more than a year and has shown a consistent coaching level.

In the first year, they led the new group of Big Three to the finals, and their record so far this season is much better than the same period last year.

For such a coach, the Cavaliers fired him immediately. It can only be said that the team management is really willful.

However, the Cavaliers' performance before and after the All-Star Game fluctuated greatly, and there was great pressure from the outside world. The team needed someone to take the blame.

The team coach has always been the best holder of that role.

It seemed that the Pelicans' double-play victory was the last straw for Blatt.

But the internal news that Woj later broke made the matter continue to ferment.

According to Woj's news report, as early as before the All-Star Game, some members of the Cavaliers team questioned Blatt's coaching methods.

It is speculated that this player is likely to be Anderson Varejao, who was traded away from the team.

In response to the team's defensive problems, he proposed the idea of ​​asking star players to take the lead in defense.

This suggestion was adopted by head coach Blatt. During the training session, he asked James, Irving and Love to take the lead in defense.

James was unhappy with Blatt's statement at the time, although he did not question it on the spot.

But in private communication with his friends, he was unhappy about this matter because he is the best defensive player in the Cavaliers team.

Regardless, this incident created a wedge between James and Blatt.

This is also the reason why James did not stand up to speak out for Blatt when he was questioned by the outside world.

After the Cavaliers lost to the Pelicans, Blatt criticized the team's defensive performance in front of James after the game, which further intensified the conflict.

Tyronn Lue was observant and noticed the conflict between his boss and James. He once tried to get the two to sit down and communicate.

But this approach was rejected by Blatter. Blatter felt that he had done nothing wrong as a head coach and there was no need for it.

After that, the Cavaliers' record continued to fluctuate, and the conflict between the two further intensified.

This contradiction also attracted the attention of the team management, and the All-Star Game gave Blatter a chance to breathe.

But it is a pity that the team's record still did not improve after the All-Star Game.

The Cavaliers front office can't turn a blind eye to this continued performance.

After communicating with general manager David Griffin and James' team, they finally made the decision to resign Blatt.

Tyronn Lue, who got along well with James, was good at interpersonal relationships, and also had considerable tactical creativity, became his successor.

James' team is said to be satisfied with Lue, which also prevents the front office from continuing to search for a new head coach this season.

The inside stories revealed by Woj are layer by layer and seem to be quite authentic.

And with the accuracy of his past revelations, this has convinced many fans and even the management of other teams.

This also caused fans to complain about James on social media.

"I'm really convinced. The Heat management didn't let Tang Tian be selected, and now the Cavaliers management fired Blatt. LeBron is the team owner!"

"They say they interfere with the management. The more Don interferes, the stronger the Pelicans will be. The more LeBron interferes, the more chaotic the team will be... Isn't it good to be a player if you don't have talent?"

"That's what I'm most afraid of. You see how bad Jordan is as a boss now, but back then he was smart enough to just be a player if he didn't have talent!"

"Let me put it here, it is impossible for the Cavaliers to win the championship with this approach. This season the Pelicans win the championship, and the number one player in the league has officially changed hands."

…

The relationship between Woj and James' team was not good to begin with. This revelation caused James to face unprecedented doubts from the outside world.

Even as fans said on social media, they are now looking forward to the Pelicans defeating the Cavaliers to win the championship.

In that case, Tang Tian, ​​who has outstanding strength and good image, can completely confirm his status as the number one player in the league.

"He always likes to attract attention in that way. He said it as if he appeared at the fictional meeting place where Gilbert and my team communicated, as if he appeared at the so-called meeting place where I communicated with my friends?

How does he know this if he doesn't? And the details he described were as if he had personally experienced them. Does he really regard himself as God? "

Woj's revelations damaged James' reputation. In front of the media, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and directly attacked Woj.

What James said is not unreasonable. It is not just once or twice that reporters make up stories in order to attract gimmicks.

Woj is a well-known journalist who mainly breaks news accurately, but he still cannot escape his identity as a reporter.

No one except the person involved can really tell whether it is true or false.

Due to pressure from James' team, Woj finally deleted the previous report.

But what can be seen from this series of events is that the Cavaliers are now in internal turmoil.

The most uncomfortable person at this time may be team owner Gilbert.

During the James 1.0 era, he organized the team according to his own ideas, but as a result, the team failed to reach the finals year after year.

During James 2.0, he spent a lot of money and spent money like crazy, but now the team looks in danger.

In such an environment, the Cavaliers held a news conference for Tyronn Lue on his appointment the day after firing Blatt.

The team was in turmoil, but Lu looked good, and he responded to reporters' sharp questions fluently.

"David is a very good coach. I have been under him for more than a year. I am sure of this, but I also believe that the management's decision is correct. The team has not performed well recently and we need some changes. "

Lu's speaking skills are still very good.

"I will give the players more freedom on the court. We are a team with LeBron, Kyrie and Kevin. They are the best players at each position in this league, especially LeBron. He has a lot of experience and he He’s been in so many situations and he’s very good at handling situations on the field.”

When a reporter asked what changes the Cavaliers would make, Lue responded unabashedly.
