Chapter 235

"How LeBron chooses has nothing to do with me, and I have no right to comment..."

While talking and laughing, Su Yang avoided the discourse trap set by the reporter, and instead took the initiative to lead the topic to the Christmas war.

In his view, LeBron's choice to join the Heat is nothing more than another success story.

The former Chosen One entered the NBA with infinite hopes. After being frustrated, he naturally leaned more towards honorable success. There is no right or wrong in that choice, but it lacks a bit of legend, allowing fans to realize once again how cruel the reality is.

It is not the first time that LeBron has made such a choice. Just like when he played against the Trail Blazers, he chose to give the lore to Eric Snow, and against the Pistons, he chose to give the lore to Don Yale Marshall. All [-]% correct.

In the final analysis, the choice of liking and disliking LeBron to join the Heat is basically a dispute between two values.

After finishing the interview, Su Yang, Chandler and others went to the restaurant to have something to eat and watch sports news by the way.

It was the Christmas game, and the league arranged a total of five matches, and the Thunder and the Heat were the grand finale.

TNT TV station, which is in charge of broadcasting the match between the two teams, happened to be broadcasting a forward-looking analysis program. Barkley, Webber, Kenny Smith, Isiah Thomas, Reggie Miller and other famous NBA guests were discussing enthusiastically.

[Host Ernie John asks: Last topic, who do you think will win the game, the Thunder or the Heat?
Barkley was the first to speak, and shrugged slightly: "I think the Heat will win in the end, but they won't win too many points, because they are good at zone attack, and actively seek a lot of physical contact. High scorers who catch the ball through screens will have a very good effect. In addition, they will block the inside and will also limit Russell Westbrook's breakthrough.

It's a pity that they missed the three-pointer. The Thunder will inevitably use zone defense to target at critical moments. This will be a hard battle.

Given that the Heat entered December with 12 wins and 12 loss and a better state, I think the Heat will win in the end. "

Isaiah Thomas smiled and said: "Aha, Pat Riley lost to our Pistons in the Finals. Since then, whether he went to New York or to the Heat, he always insisted on copying our defensive strategy. I really admire him. With this approach, the Thunder's group of young people can't handle such a high-intensity defensive strategy at all, so I also think that the Heat will win the game in the end.

Reggie Miller went on to say: "In fact, looking at it from another angle, the Heat can be regarded as an upgraded version of the Thunder. The three positions of shooting guard, small forward, and power forward are stronger, while the two positions of center and point guard are weaker. The main scoring strategies are Defensive counterattacks, the Heat's attack rate is higher, and the Thunder's three-pointer rate is higher, but we all know that in high-intensity games, three-pointers are difficult to play.

Therefore, I also think that the Heat will win the final victory, and I agree with what Charles said, the point difference will be very small. "

After Miller finished speaking, Kenny Smith and others spoke one after another, also expressing their support for the Heat. In the end, when only Chris Webber spoke, he covered his face and said that he supported the Thunder for the sake of the program, which made everyone laugh. . 】

While the program was broadcasting, several teaching assistants including Mark chatted and discussed, agreeing with the famous speeches.

Su Yang also agrees that those are the weaknesses of the Thunder, but the specific weaknesses need to be analyzed in detail. For example, the overall three-point shooting percentage is 37% and 30%, and they also shoot 20 three-pointers. Although there is only one difference, one may be decide the outcome.

Seeing the coaching staff laughing, Chandler asked curiously: "So, will we really face those challenges?"

Su Yang replied: "Yes, but I have many ways to beat the Heat, and the afternoon training will be arranged uniformly."

As a former Rockets, Spurs, and Celtics fan, Su Yang has studied how to beat the Heat many times.

When the Big Three of the Heat were first formed, the defensive end implemented 'Haslem and other big players to press outside + LeBron and Wade double-team aggressively + encountered breakthroughs, shrinking and intercepting to make up for the disadvantage of the inside frame protection + using talent to quickly rotate to make up for three-pointers 'Strategy.

The average team can't stand the Heat's strategy at all. They usually fight hard for three quarters and are defeated by the Heat's defensive counterattack.

But it was soon discovered by other teams that the Heat's starting point guard Carlos Arroyo or Eddie House could open up the gap, which caused the Heat to lose streak. Then Mario Chalmers was promoted to the starting lineup, and the Heat Solve the problem.

After solving the problem, the Heat had a record of 12 wins and 12 loss in December, invincible and pointing to the championship.

But Su Yang knew that he should learn from the strategies of the Spurs, Celtics, Bulls, and Magic to defeat the Heat, so he simply set a demonstration for the whole league in advance, and by the way, see if the Heat will seek to buy Bibby after the All-Star, and let him LeBron specializes in scoring.

If other teams get inspired and let the Heat lose a few more games to reduce the possibility of their home court advantage, then the relationship is good.

In short, the Heat who have only experienced one upgrade now are nothing to be afraid of, even if they upgrade twice in the future, they can still fight.

After a simple lunch, the whole team watched movies, listened to music, took a short rest, and the afternoon training continued.

Su Yang made detailed arrangements on how to target the Heat, and the whole team rehearsed carefully, and did not leave the training base until four o'clock in the afternoon.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Su Yang arrived at the Ford Center. There were Christmas trees everywhere, fans wearing Santa Claus jerseys, and various free gifts.

Enter the arena, follow the staff to the media center, and first record a video wishing Merry Christmas.

By the way, he was interviewed before the game. The TNT reporter asked how he thought that among the six TNT celebrities, as many as five supported the Heat to win the final victory. Su Yang said with a smile: "I was quite worried at first, but Charles Barkley gave me confidence. Big increase..."

The reporters laughed when they heard the words, Su Yang smiled and spread his hands.

The original intention was just to play a trick. Of course, Barkley has a correct prediction, but it is pitifully rare compared to a wrong prediction.

The Fox reporter asked: "Some people say that LeBron's decision to join the Heat angered the top management of the league, and then he was suppressed by the league. As a result, his MVP ranking was lower than Durant and Rose, and he was unable to complete the three consecutive MVP feats. What do you think about this?"

Su Yang replied: "Judging from the current situation, I think there is no doubt that Derrick Rose ranks first in MVP. He led the Chicago Bulls to greatly improve their record this season. He averaged 25 points and 7 assists per game, which is completely reasonable."

A reporter from Sports Illustrated asked: "What do you think of the fact that the Thunder are also the Big Three and just formed a team from a rookie?"

Su Yang replied: "Yes, they are right..."

ESPN and other reporters also asked questions one after another, and Su Yang answered them one by one. After a few minutes, everything was done, and then he went to the locker room.

The Thunder are all ready to go. Durant frantically swipes his phone and scrolls through Twitter, with a smile on his face and a frown on his face. Rub hands.

Su Yang clapped his hands to attract the attention of the whole team, put away his smile and said seriously: "We will go all out for this game tonight. This is not a rehearsal for the finals, nor is it a battle to create a new era of basketball. Not our enemies, we respect the desire to win the championship, we applaud one man, one city, we fight not to compromise with reality..."

After finishing speaking, Su Yang looked at Durant and then at Westbrook, feeling emotional.
