Chapter 254 The scenery is unique here
After the match, Su Yang returned to the locker room, briefly summarized, and then rushed to the media center to attend the press conference.

The ESPN reporter asked Lauren Ayer: "Congratulations on winning a big game, how did you do it?"

Su Yang thought for a moment and smiled: "To be honest, I didn't expect it to be a big victory. Everyone on the team played very well, especially on the defensive end. Although I have designed a strategy combining internal and external, the effect achieved is far from Far exceeded my expectations.

Like KD and Russell, and Tyson and DeAndre, everyone on the team played well, even without those inside and outside strategies, we will win, it may take a little more work, but you know, we very young. "

In the whole game, the five players of the Thunder scored in double figures, and Durant, the absolute main player, made 10 of 7 shots, including 5 of 4 three-pointers. In addition to the extremely rare two free throws, he won the victory with only 20 points. It's beyond everyone's expectations.

The Thunder are ahead of the Grizzlies in hard power, and they have the most efficient strategy. In retrospect, it is really a big bombardment of mosquitoes.

After finishing the press conference, Su Yang returned to the apartment in a Volvo, and then received a text message from his assistant Taylor, who learned that ESPN took it out of context and deliberately exaggerated it, and came up with an article "The thunderous victory was an accident. The report with the central idea of ​​"The players are too strong" has attracted heated discussions from many fans and commentators, and has produced many negative comments.

Su Yang was not surprised by ESPN’s reports. After all, the media needs traffic. It is a common method to attract clicks by making some controversial but correct articles. Mavericks’ boss Mark Cuban revoked the interview credentials of two ESPN reporters. .

Those negative comments are quite interesting, and the mainstream view is that he is just lucky as the head coach, who happens to enjoy the powerful and immediate combat power bonus of Durant, Westbrook, and Harden, and the management operation trade to get Sefoloza And Chandler, even if he truces Chandler for most of the season, it's just a little bit ahead of time for the Thunder to succeed.

Those negative comments can be summed up in one meaning: As long as a normal coach can lead the Thunder to achieve results, let alone adjust Westbrook's shooting method, everyone has never seen Westbrook's other shooting methods, it is purely Su Yang's blowing.

As for the design of the most effective tactical system, Durant's ability to find a cover to catch the ball and score casually, where there is any need for complex tactical support, what kind of wheel dynamic offensive system Su Yang designed is nothing more than to increase his sense of presence.

Anyway, those negative comments think that Su Yang is not worthy, and he is very lucky. If he really has the ability, he should lead the team to the playoffs in the 08-09 season. The configuration was so good at that time, but the Thunder only won 28 that season, enough explain the problem.

Nuggets player Kenyon Martin actively retweeted many tweets that Su Yang was unworthy, guiding fans in various ways, expressly hoping that the entire NBA circle would launch a siege, and many commentators also participated in it, which made it a little hot for a while discuss.

The fans also felt that those doubts about Su Yang were outrageous, but their rational speeches were quickly overwhelmed.

Assistant Taylor thinks it is necessary to respond, especially in the case of MT's large-scale publicity and promotion. listed.

Su Yang thought back to several competing MT products, and felt that there was no pressure at all. Those competing products were still using email addresses and security questions to guide registration, and focused on developing computer versions. That was so fucking low-end, and he didn’t understand what mobile Internet was at all. .

As for the NBA field, if all the results are concerned, Phil Jackson will also be questioned to achieve success by relying on the combination of Jordan and OK. That is the NBA's clear comprehensive first coach. It is too normal for him to be questioned now.

And this kind of thing belongs to the classic game theory. Using things that didn’t happen to demonstrate what happened can’t get any credible results. A bowl of flour.

After making up his mind, Su Yang told Taylor to ignore it.

But after he sent the message, he saw Durant mad at those doubters with a large size, emphasizing that he is the best coach in the world.

Su Yang sent another text message, telling Du Lan to be very serious.

Unexpectedly, Durant replied that he enjoys the pleasure of chatting with netizens, which is sometimes more interesting than playing basketball.

Su Yang knew he couldn't be persuaded, so he gave up.

After a three-day break, the Thunder played the second game of the series against the Grizzlies at the Ford Center, trying to keep their home court advantage 2-0.

Su Yang emphasized in the locker room that the Grizzlies are very resilient, so don't belittle them just because of their first big win.

The Thunder generals gladly accepted the order, but the Grizzlies resisted vigorously at the beginning of the game, scoring only 4 points in 25 minutes and 2 seconds.

The Grizzlies defended like crazy. Randolph and Gasol gave up the offensive rebounds they were good at. Every time they hit the iron, as long as the ball did not bounce back into their hands immediately, the two would turn back to the defense without hesitation. .

As two big players, if they demonstrate like that, the other three of the Grizzlies will naturally speed up and return to the defense.

In that way, it was difficult for the Thunder to counterattack defensively.

In addition, Conley did not hesitate to commit two fouls to delay Westbrook, and Randolph and Gasol Jr. intercepted in the free throw line area, and they also defended toughly without fear of fouls. As a result, the Thunder only scored 15 points in the first quarter. The Grizzlies themselves scored 13 points.

Fans on the scene and social network platforms felt that the game would be a hard battle after seeing the scores of the two teams in the first quarter.

It was thought that Su Yang dispatched troops to let Durant join the second team in advance, and cooperated with Harden and Green to deal with the second team of the Grizzlies. 31 wins, leading by 18 points at halftime.

The situation changed suddenly, and social networking platforms sparked a debate that Durant likes to bully the opponent's second team.

Then came back from the halftime break, and the situation changed again. The black and white bears paid more attention to the offensive rebounds in the frontcourt. The two grabbed eight offensive rebounds in total, and all eight second offenses were successful. Five three-pointers.

The Thunder entered the fourth quarter with a 12-point lead. Unexpectedly, the situation changed dramatically.

The main reason is that Chandler got three fouls in a row in a short period of time, and got five fouls on his back, so he left the game early to rest.

But that wasn't over yet, Jordan rushed to the field and was called for two fouls. The Thunder's offense and defense directly collapsed inside.

The Grizzlies also made a lot of fouls, but they were all used to interfere with Durant and Westbrook, using all kinds of large-scale actions to consume as much as possible.

But as the Grizzlies fouled more, especially Gasol Jr.'s fouls increased, it became difficult for the Grizzlies to open the situation inside.

In the last 2 minutes, Su Yang re-assigned Chandler, and the Thunder played a wave of 9-2, and finally won 93-85.

After some tossing, the Thunder led the Grizzlies 2-0 in the first round of the playoffs, successfully kept their home court advantage and got three days of rest.

On the second day, the second game of the other three groups in the Western Conference was also finished, and all the battles were tied 1-1.

ESPN focused on reporting that the Thunder is the only 2-0, and the gossip website TMZ reported that: It is suspected that Tom Ward, the small boss of the Thunder, praised the tweet that "Su Yang can be replaced by other coaches, and the Thunder can also be successful", but it cannot be confirmed for the time being. .
