Chapter 326 He Is Still Just a Child (For Leader Bilu)
Bill Simmons' remarks won the support of many fans, especially those who think that the Lakers are orthodox as a center, but they did not arouse widespread discussion, mainly because the Lakers won three consecutive victories, which means that there is no problem with the style of play, at least for now.

After playing the Trail Blazers, the Lakers rested for one night. They gathered at the airport on the afternoon of the 21st and flew to Dallas.

As a rookie, Goodlock specially carried playing cards on the plane, while Kobe clamored to win back the money he lost to Su Yang.Su Yang readily accepted the challenge, and the two played blackjack one-on-one, relying on probability and courage to strive for more victories.

A deck of 52 cards, Su Yang memorized from the first time the cards were dealt, and gradually won more and more rounds, bullying Kobe as a high school graduate, not proficient in probability algorithms, and soon won from Kobe Walk as much as three thousand dollars.

Kobe sensed something was wrong, and instead asked for the ball to reshuffle the cards every time, but the chances of playing were still lower than Su Yang, so he was very angry.

The dollar W is a trivial matter for Kobe, let alone three thousand dollars, plus two zeros, he can afford to lose. The main reason is that he is too competitive, and it is difficult to accept losing consecutive games, just like Ronaldo who has little interest in table tennis , but specifically practice to beat the opponent.

Amidst the laughter, the entire Lakers team arrived in Dallas.

Su Yang received the invitation of Ah Lian, and went to have a meal with Ah Lian in the Chinese restaurant, and casually chatted about the current situation and preparations for the Olympic Games.

In 08, Su Yang already had a small reputation, but he was not yet able to serve as the head coach of the national team. He waited until 10 to re-select the coach, and because he led the Thunder to play in the playoffs, he failed to participate, but this time The national team invited him to be the chief assistant.

Su Yang accepted without hesitation that it was a long-standing dream to play for the national team, even if he could not achieve good results.

Although he is only the chief assistant coach, he still has to do his best, at least to lead the men's basketball team to win a game in London.

Ah Lian was very excited about the upcoming cooperation, and said that he would go home when he was free and pick some local specialty lychees for Su Yang.

The dinner between the two lasted until seven o'clock in the evening, and the domestic media reported on it one after another, with the headline "Su Yi conspired to make a strange move".

In the afternoon of the next day, the Lakers and Mavericks warmed up.

Maybe it’s because the Mavericks are on a winning streak recently. They defeated the Celtics in the last game. Its owner Mark Cuban was a little ecstatic. In an interview before the game, he said: “I had a dream last night, dreaming about Su Yang last year. And the year before last, he took away the championship that should belong to us, even if he leaves the Thunder, the grievances between us are not over, and we are bound to fight back strongly this year."

Su Yang was interviewed before the game. A reporter from the "Dallas Star" relayed Cuban's remarks and asked him what he thought.

"Compared to many other bosses, Mark Cuban is indeed a boss who is willing to spend money on basketball. He built the most luxurious locker room for the Mavericks players and bought the most luxurious planes for the Mavericks players. know basketball..."

In Su Yang's view, apart from being willing to spend money for the team, Cuban's impact on the team is considered a negative operation.

The refusal to renew the contract with Nash back then caused the Mavericks to lose their engine and did not find a better defensive point guard; signing LaFrentz and Dampier with high salaries and other indescribable centers locked up the team's space and allowed Nowitzki to stay in the paint for a long time There are no qualified helpers.

It was not easy to get a master coach Rick Carlisle, and he was forced to leave because he favored non-professional subordinates.

Not to mention denying general manager Nelson Jr.'s request to choose Antetokounmpo, and then choose Kelly Olynyk to send to the Celtics.

Anyway, as a capitalist who likes to lend usury and play digital currency to cut leeks, Cuban is not so professional in basketball.

At seven o'clock in the blink of an eye, the game officially started.

The two teams started regularly, and the Lakers started with two mid-range shots and two assists from Gasol, taking a 10-3 lead.

But perhaps they learned experience from the Blazers. The Mavericks decisively continued to play pick-and-rolls around Brandon Haywood, and then made quick shots. Points and long shot to get a three-pointer.

Seeing that the score was approaching quickly, Su Yang was not in a hurry, nor did he replace Bynum, who was difficult to provide delays for the Mavericks pick-and-roll. The Mavericks disrupted the rhythm.

On the defensive end, the Mavericks also resorted to their signature two-three defense to make up for the history of inside defense deviations, and by the way bullied the Lakers for long-range shots.

That kind of operation made the pace of the game very slow, and it was difficult for the Lakers to get the ball inside. Su Yang simply removed Gasol in advance.

After the first quarter of the game, the Lakers only led 25 to 21, better than Kobe and Nowitzki, who also made 3 of 0 shots.

After a short break, the game entered the second quarter as a substitute, and Su Yang dispatched Gasol, who had been resting for a long time.

On the Mavericks side, Carter + Marion led the team off the bench, and Carlisle quietly played a trick, and the Lakers couldn't defend from the outside.

But the Mavericks inside the bench are Ian Mahinmi and Brandon White, and Gasol is a bit arbitrary in the low post.

The two teams faced each other off the bench, and the point difference remained unchanged, but after the main force came back, with only three seconds left in the half, Barea scored a three-pointer against Bynum, who was suddenly delayed, and caused a foul, followed by an overtime. He made a free throw and scored four points in a row to tie the Lakers.

Returning to the locker room during the halftime break, Bynum was obviously a little depressed. Seeing this, Su Yang gave a few words of comfort, and he was fouled.

The third quarter started immediately. The Mavericks’ strategy remained the same. They felt that they were centered around Haywood’s pick-and-roll, bullying Bynum, and failed to defend. On the defensive end, a large number of 23-zone defenses were used to make up for the gap with numerical superiority. The Lakers also continued to use the previous offensive and defensive strategies. .

There is no good way. The Lakers suffer from pick-and-roll defense. This is a problem that existed in the Phil Jackson era. On the one hand, it is difficult for Bynum to make delays. Chance.

After Su Yang took office, there was a little improvement, but he was not so easy to play against teams that are good at pick-and-rolls and mid-range shots. The Spurs and Mavericks, as well as the Clippers who lost before, had Parker, Terry and Paul respectively. Waiting for the players, it happens to be technically restrained.

In the middle of the third quarter, Su Yang withdrew Gasol again ahead of schedule, preparing to use his strength as a substitute in the fourth quarter.

Everything proceeded step by step, Gasol then teamed up with Mike Roberts and Tracy McGrady to play a wave in the fourth quarter.

The Lakers established a lead, and Kobe returned to the field with consecutive backs to maintain, and took the lead in guarding against it, never giving the Mavericks a chance to counterattack.

全场比赛打完，湖人96比91击败小牛取得四连胜，加索尔18投12中拿到26分。

In comparison, as the other of the Lakers twin towers, Bynum made 8 of 6 shots, but had 3 turnovers and 4 fouls. From the statistical point of view, when Bynum was on the court, the Lakers lost points. Up to 22 points more than when Bynum left the field.

Participating in the press conference after the game, ESPN reporters took the data of "Bynum lost points" and asked Su Yang what he thought.

Su Yang replied calmly: "I think it is normal, and I have already said that every player has shortcomings, how good are you at discovering Bynum's excellence, for example, he has 5 blocks in this game, you seem I didn't see any..."

The reporter asked: "Why did Bynum only take 8 shots? Did he become less effective in your offensive and defensive system?"

Su Yang smiled and said: "I know, I explained that the Mavericks use zone defense, and you will give an example of Gasol taking 18 shots, but that is because Gasol is easier to get the ball away from the basket, Byner There are differences in the technical characteristics of Mu...

Bynum will provide more help when necessary, than against the Heat in the finals. Just like Kobe in the past ten games, he no longer takes a lot of shots, but assists more. We are all for Better to win the game. "

After finishing the press conference, Su Yang flew to Salt Lake City overnight with the entire Lakers team to challenge the Jazz back to back.

When he woke up at noon, his assistant Taylor notified him that what he said at the press conference had been deliberately misinterpreted on Twitter and other platforms.

Su Yang didn't bother to pay attention to it, he understood that as long as someone wants to blackmail, breathing is a serious mistake and there is no reason to speak of it.

The game started at six o'clock, and the Lakers were exhausted and unable to enter the state for a long time, trailing by 8 points at halftime.

Relieved from the halftime break, Su Yang instructed the whole team to launch an attack around Bynum, because the Jazz's inside line is generally short, and the key players at the top center position, Derek Favors and Enes Kanter, lack confrontation and are very difficult to attack. Difficult to resist the impact of Bynum.

Bynum also lived up to expectations, personally scored 8 times in a row, although only 1 free throw, he still led the team to chase points.

In the last 7 seconds of the fourth quarter, Bynum grabbed a defensive rebound and the Lakers trailed only 100-102.

Su Yang asked to suspend the deployment of lore tactics, followed by a successful serve and run in the frontcourt. Seeing that the basketball was about to pass to Kobe, who was almost out of space, Bynum, who was supposed to be in charge of passing the ball, suddenly released the ball and started to force it. Take three steps to attack the basket.

Such an operation, Su Yang never expected.

But what he didn't expect was that Bynum made a mistake and smashed his foot, the basketball flew out of bounds, and the referee whistled for a violation.

The ball was transferred to the Jazz, and the Lakers could only use foul tactics. Unfortunately, Millsap made two free throws and the Jazz led by 4 points.

With 2.3 seconds left, the Lakers kicked off in the backcourt, and Kobe did not give up. Unfortunately, the ultra-long three-pointer hit the iron, and the four-game winning streak was ended.

Throughout the game, Bynum played the best for the Lakers, making 19 of 14 shots and scoring 37 points with free throws.

In the post-match press conference, talking about Bynum not passing the ball to Kobe in the end, Su Yang originally wanted to say, 'He is just a kid, and he is easy to get ahead in the game', but he felt that it was not appropriate, and instead said: "He is a Young guys with ideas who want to help the team win games, I think that's fine, it just needs to be improved, we'll talk about it when we go to the All-Stars..."
