Tyron Lue s latest interview: Take charge of protecting Harden, be optimistic about Bill!

Recently, Tyron Lu participated in "Club Shay Shay" and talked about many behind-the-scenes stories and his understanding of basketball. He talked about Harden's poor performance in tiebreak, Kat's back-to-back issues, Bill's defense, and his evaluation of Jordan.

Tyron Lue: Harden's missed tiebreak is responsible for me

Speaking of Harden's struggle in the playoffs tiebreak, Tyron Lue said: "I think G6 is no different from Harden in G7. G6 is also a life-and-death battle, he scored 36 points. So I don't think it's Harden's mentality problem, but the opponent has sent two or three defensive players to guard him strictly, not let him play his strengths, not let him play singles, and not let him take the ball comfortably. As the head coach, I should find a way to solve this problem, and other players should also come forward to help Harden. So, it's not a surprise. Harden, I should bear most of the responsibility. The failure of the player to perform at a normal level is the coach's problem. This is unquestionable! "

Xiao Ka has repeatedly asked for back-to-back

When talking about Xiao Ka's not playing back-to-back, Tyron Lu revealed: "Xiao Ka expressed his willingness to play back-to-back games many times last season, but our coaching staff and medical team rejected his request for his health. Because he has suffered frequent knee injuries in the past two years and has often recurred repeatedly, not playing back-to-back is to protect him and prevent him from recurring injuries due to excessive consumption. ”

Bill is good at both offense and defense, and he is seriously underestimated

Speaking of new player Bill, Tyron Lue said: "Bill is an elite player, he is good at both offense and defense. In the game, Bill can attract two to three people to defend, and he can also pass the ball to organize the offense. On the defensive end, he can also perform well, but needs to be motivated. Especially in the face of strong opponents, he can contribute excellent defense. He played with the Suns last season because Booker and Durant were the third choice. But he still averaged 18 points per game, shot 50% from the field and made three-pointers. The rate is as high as 43%, which are all excellent statistics. But because he has Durant and Booker around him, his performance has been ignored. He is only 32 years old, and his performance has been seriously underestimated."

Jordan can now average 45 points

When talking about the basketball god Jordan, Lu proudly said: "It is the most proud thing I have in my life to be a teammate with Jordan. If Jordan at his peak played in today's NBA, he could average 45 points, because he is GOAT, and he is the greatest player in the world. Jordan once had a season average of 37 points. It was incredible to score 37 points in that era of encouragement. The rules of the game now do not allow too much physical contact, and it is easy to get free throws. So now, Jordan can easily get four or fifty-tenths.

I didn't expect Alexander to become so strong. If we did it again, we would still trade him

When the host asked if he had thought Alexander would become so strong now, Tyron Lue bluntly replied: "No... people have been talking about this deal and thought we made a stupid decision. But if I do it again, I will still choose to make that deal. At that time, George was the top three players in MVP, with an offense and defense. His combination with Kat was like a combination of Jordan and Pippen. At that time, Alexander was just an excellent young player, and you would never have thought that he could reach his current level. If he had continued to stay in the Clippers at the time, he would probably not have had too many opportunities to perform and improve. And he has gained opportunities to grow in the Thunder, a team that trains young people. ”
