Chapter 293 Shoot at Me

Su Yang reminded that Kobe finally recovered from his anger and said that he would not forcefully prove it.

Ordinarily, people of a certain age are not so easily emotional. The main reason is that last season's humiliating defeat was too stimulating, and I always have the mentality of defeating you if you don't accept it. In addition, you have encountered an off-court marriage crisis. .

"Why are you excited? If you mess around and cause the team to lose the game, they will rank you 25th next season. If you ignore ESPN, you will lose. If you score 50 points, they will not lose anything, but will give them advertise…"

The reason is as simple as that, but sometimes people tend to fall into emotions and find it difficult to break free. On the contrary, the bystanders can see clearly. As the head coach, Su Yang reminded Kobe that it is a more important task than designing efficient scoring tactics.

At 20:[-] p.m. on NO.[-] of the next day, the first preseason game between the Lakers and the Clippers was about to start. Su Yang was interviewed in the media room.

ESPN reporter Lauren Ayer asked: "What do you think of Kobe's seventh ranking? How do you think he should prove that he may be worthy of a higher ranking, and how to prove that he deserves the maximum annual salary of 2400 million?"

ESPN not only wants to make news off the court, but also provokes them face to face, and does everything possible to stir up discussions.

Su Yang chuckled: "I advise you ESPN, don't always think about making big news, Kobe doesn't need to prove anything at all, and his annual salary of 2400 million US dollars is limited by the CBA clause and he can only get so much, otherwise at least To get 5000 million.

As for the little things like scoring, even on the day he retired, he could score 60 points and lead the team to win. "

Lauren Ayre asked: "So you mean he has lost his fighting spirit? Has he lost his obsession with winning?"

Su Yang laughed again: "You are still good at changing topics and confusing concepts. I have never seen a player who is more obsessed with the victory of the game than Kobe, but now he needs to focus on those more important things. game, understand?"

"Do you think the preseason is not important? Or do you not have the confidence to beat the city rival Clippers and say that on purpose?"

"Of course it doesn't matter. Our only goal in the preseason is to practice tactics and experiment with rotation. It doesn't matter even if we lose two games in a row. As for you saying that you don't have the confidence to beat the Clippers, just say yes. I have nothing to refute. The next question !"

Su Yang stood still, on the one hand avoiding the trap of speaking skills, on the other hand completely cutting off the possibility of Kobe rushing and hitting.

With just a few words, Lauren Ayer was so pissed off that she wanted to ask more questions, but unfortunately other reporters took the lead.

About 10 minutes later, the pre-match interview was over, and the public relations officer Josh Rapsarich accompanied Su Yang to the locker room.

"If you always say that, they will continue to smear you with a little problem in the future. It is not good for you to choose the best coach. It may also affect your image in the hearts of fans and even players. I suggest you be a little more tactful in the future. Some…"

Su Yang listened and nodded, knowing that Lapusarich was a kind reminder and also a job requirement, so he said directly: "I just hope they pay attention to me, and don't report on the poor performance of the players and other things that affect the state. ..."

Hearing that statement, Lapsariki suddenly developed respect for Su Yang. This is a great spirit of self-sacrifice for others.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the Lakers and Clippers' first preseason game officially started at the Staples Center.

After the appearance ceremony of the two teams, Jordan took the initiative to run to the technical stage and bowed slightly to Su Yang: "My big brother!"

The two chatted for a while, and Su Yang learned that the Thunder did not plan to re-sign Jordan after the rookie contract expires next year, so taking advantage of the good value of Jordan's trade, he traded him to the Clippers after changing hands, a bit of cleaning up his old team. mean.

So Livingston didn't keep anything, maybe he had to send away Green, who Su Yang had tried to renew at the beginning.

While sighing, Su Yang told Jordan: "Listen to Chris Paul, he can help you get a big contract."

At [-]:[-], the game starts.

The Lakers sent Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest, Gasol, Bynum five-member starting lineup, the audience cheered.

The Clippers started with Paul, Billups, Butler, Griffin, and Jordan, with Mo on the bench.

"As far as the Clippers' lineup is concerned, ESPN's 80% probability of winning the championship is quite reasonable..." assistant coach Brown said, "The substitute lineup may be close, but after the end of many overseas leagues and the trade deadline, excellent substitutes can be used."

"The Clippers look really strong..."

Su Yang chuckled, thinking that the Clippers' lineup with Paul and Griffin as the core would have the ability to win the championship every year, but either the boss was stingy and didn't find a high-quality substitute, or the coach was slow on the spot and nepotism, or Key players are injured.

In short, the Clippers have a long way to go. In the matter of winning the championship, there is always something short of something, so unlucky.

Amidst the cheers, the Lakers won the jump ball.

At the beginning of the game, an inside and four outside formation was used, and the fist-stretching tactics of key drills were directly implemented. After Paul saw UCLA's starting move, he immediately reminded his teammates how to defend, but the Lakers did not play as envisioned.

Seeing this, Su Yang laughed, thinking that it was a tactic from the [-]s, you haven't seen it in Sao Paulo now.

The first quarter of the game ended quickly, and the Lakers scored 32 points with efficient offense, making the Clippers seem to have no defense.

But after all, the Clippers have Paul and Billups, two super-high golf players. After the return of the main players in the second quarter, they decisively adopted the strategy of shrinking the inside + secondary defense against the Lakers to attack the Lakers, and soon let the Lakers score. Efficiency plummeted.

Su Yang used all his tricks and instructed Kobe, who already wanted to vent his anger, to play consecutive singles, and the misplaced Billups couldn't guard against it at all.

The Clippers asked Barrett to defend again, but Kobe didn't bother to attack hard. Instead, he chose to pass the ball out and let Artest take advantage of Billups' dislocation. After clipping, divide the ball and shoot a three-pointer.

After halftime, the Lakers unexpectedly led the Clippers by as many as 15 points, and Sterling was so angry that he yelled from the sidelines.

During the halftime break, Su Yang told the Lakers generals: "With Vinidnagro's coaching style, the Clippers will definitely shrink as much as possible in the third quarter, and then quickly push to counterattack, and our coping strategy is to give up offensive rebounds. , Guaranteed to return to defense..."

According to Su Yang's vision, as long as the Lakers twin towers have time to settle, it will be in an advantageous position to forcibly drag the Clippers into positional warfare.

The generals of the Lakers returned to the court suspiciously, and the offense started in the third quarter, and things really happened as Su Yang expected.

The Clippers abandoned the Paul + Billups dual point guard lineup and changed to Butler as shooting guard and Ryan Gomez as small forward. Under the premise of ensuring that they can interfere with Kobe, they shrink the paint area to interfere with passes and air cuts. Greatly improve the quality of defense.

The Lakers' air cuts were blocked, and many passing and cutting tactics were not easy to play, and they couldn't shoot three-pointers, and their scoring efficiency dropped suddenly.

However, the Lakers gave up the rebound and quickly returned to defense, causing the Clippers to fail to make several quick counterattacks, and the two teams fell into a scoring desert at the same time.

At the end of the third quarter of the game, the two teams dispatched substitute lineups to face off. The Lakers McGrady took the lead to lead the three-point frenzy, and directly extended the lead to 24 points with a wave of offensive, thus turning the game into garbage time. The Clippers chose to give up in advance .

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Clippers 109-85 in the first game of the preseason game, and all the players praised Su Yang for his ingenuity.

In the early morning of the next day, the whole team gathered at the training base. There was no heavy training, and they mainly watched videos to find problems.

The reason for winning is very simple. The opening surprise attack established an advantage. In the third quarter, the substitute beat the opponent's substitute, and the strategy accounted for a large proportion.

The problem of the low three-point shooting rate is obvious. If it weren't for the wave led by McGrady in the third quarter, the overall score would be less than 35%.

After a day off, the second preseason game between the Lakers and the Clippers continued at the Staples Center, and the audience was full.

This time, the Lakers didn't shoot a three-pointer, and the bench didn't take advantage of it, but they still beat the Clippers 108-103.

The reason for winning is that Su Yang saw through the Clippers' tactics in a row at the end, and arranged for the Lakers to successfully limit the Clippers' offense many times.

The whole team gets three days of rest, and then they will usher in the first game of the regular season, which is also a Christmas game. The opponent is the Bulls.

Su Yang tweeted: "@Los AngelesAll fans, we want to use a victory as a Christmas gift for you!"
