Chapter 345 The Lakers Still Have Curry

While fans predict, the media also make predictions.

ESPN发动旗下14位评论员预测湖人和爵士首轮对战结果，其中13人预测湖人将会晋级，并且其中10人认为湖人会4比0晋级，只有比尔西蒙斯认为爵士4比3晋级。

Su Yang saw the forecast by chance, and suddenly thought of an explosive meme he had heard before: "It's too easy for the Clippers to play the Nuggets!"

In his opinion, commentators are not that professional. Many predictions are based on strength on paper and regular season matches, and the prediction itself is rather ridiculous. Regardless of injuries or penalty standards, the head coach’s operation also determines the direction of the game. .

Just like the Clippers lead the Nuggets 3-1, and lead by a lot in the fifth game, Rivers replaced Harrell, who was difficult to match up with Jokic, causing the big lead to be overturned.If you want to say which is a mistake, just don't make it next time, but Rivers will come again in the sixth game.

By the time Rivers reacted, the Clippers' momentum had plummeted, while the Nuggets' momentum had soared, and the past shame reappeared.

"Rivers just didn't study much, and he didn't know the truth of 'It is better to chase the poor with the remaining courage, not to be the king of fame'..." Su Yang sighed, and then decided to fight the Jazz to death, absolutely not letting him The Jazz generate any hope of a comeback.

The data kings of the NBA regular season are also released simultaneously.

Durant averaged 28 points per game and won the scoring title for the third consecutive year. Howard regained the rebounding title with an average of 14.5 rebounds per game. Rondo won the assists title with an exaggerated 11.7 assists per game, 95-96. The highest since the season.

Ibaka snatched the block leader from Bogut with an average of 3.7 blocks per game, and Chris Paul, the god of point guards, averaged 2.5 steals per game. Injury, it is very likely to win 09 times in a row.

Anyway, Paul is the most capable player at the point guard position. Even if he expands to play all positions and the entire NBA history, he can still occupy a place. It’s not like Allen Iverson’s many gambling steals. The overall defense is very good and strong. very strong.

"If the original history develops according to the original history and the Sterling racial discrimination incident broke out, I will definitely participate in the competition to buy the Clippers..." Su Yang hypothesized happily, "If it succeeds, first fire Rivers, and then find something for Paul. How about small forward?"

After three days of rest, the first round of the Lakers playoffs begins.

On the afternoon of the 29th, Su Yang drove to the Staples Center, first arranged the training content, and then accepted the pre-match interview.

ESPN reporter Lauren Ayer came up and asked: "During the regular season, your Lakers lost to the Jazz twice, and those two times were at the Jazz's home court. One of them was due to Bynum's mistakes. Are you confident this time?" Beat them to zero?"

The logic of the question was a bit strange, it sounded like there was some purpose, Su Yang was too lazy to think about it, and replied: "I don't know, I can't predict things that are not yet in the future, if that kind of thing really happens, it must be because of Kobe's amazing play Performance…"

The regular season is over, and the MVP voting is also over. Su Yang continues to solicit votes for Kobe, and praises him by the way.

Anyway, I usually persuade Kobe to give up the ball and reduce the playing time. At this time, he should blow it vigorously without any effort.

"Do you have any special preparations?"

Other media reporters continued to ask questions, and Su Yang answered with the official routine. The pre-match interview ended quickly and he returned to the training ground.

The Lakers are well prepared and have already decided to use a defensive system built around Gasol. The main purpose is to bully the Jazz. Can.

As long as the Jazz defends inside, Devon Harris and Gordon Hayward are all players with unreliable shots on the outside. In addition, the Jazz has the third-worst three-pointers in the league throughout the season. That's fine, you can say whatever you want.

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

The Staples Center issued support T-shirts to every audience. It said 'one at a time', which probably means that they can win the championship every time, but many audiences are not willing to wear them. The impact of urban diversity.

Instead, stars such as Megan Fox, Megan Good, and David Beckham wore T-shirts to show their support.

Kobe made an opening speech on behalf of the team, thanking this, thanking that, feeling this, feeling that, and finally said with a smile: "This time, I want to learn from Su Yang and boldly promise you that I will lead the Lakers to win the championship. 2012 Championship!"

The cheers in the Staples Center suddenly burst.

The fans shouted wildly, and Old Buss also looked up to the sky and sighed: "My favorite SHOWTIME style is back!"

Followed by a jump ball, the Lakers won the first attack, but it is a pity that Gasol failed to eat Al Jefferson alone, and he hit the iron.

Turning to the Jazz offense, the Lakers will block the inside line according to the strategy arranged by Su Yang. The Jazz's starting shooting guard, Josh Howard, the ugly ghost, struggled to get the ball through tactical running and transmission, but could not rush into the paint to attack the basket , A hasty three-pointer.

It's a pity that throughout the season, Josh Howard only made 24.3% of his three-pointers, and he averaged 0.9 shots per game.

The basketball rebounded, Josh Howard grabbed the offensive rebound, fiddled with it for a while and made another shot, but was blocked by Kobe again.

But that wasn't over yet, as Al Jefferson took off for a tip-in, but couldn't succeed with a strong interference from Gasol.

Artest then grabbed a defensive rebound, and the Lakers' overall strong defensive tone was established, and they quickly got off to a 6-0 start.

Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin hastily paused for adjustments. When he came back, relying on the 4UP tactics left by Sloan, Hayward broke through and caused a foul, and then made a free throw to break the scoring shortage. .

In Su Yang's view, Hayward is that kind of golden player. In his first season, he encountered the great turmoil that the team Sloan and Deron left the team successively. As a first-year rookie, he averaged 16.9 minutes per game and scored 5.4. Points 1.1 assists and 1.9 rebounds.

By this season, he was directly promoted to the starting small forward, his playing time doubled, and his scoring and assists tripled.

If the conflict between Sloan and Deron is handled better, the Jazz should usher in the strongest period. Anyway, the Jazz has no life. From the boss to the management, they are relatively moderate. There were civil strife in the 10s, and civil strife appeared again in the 20s. The strong period Sudden consumption.

After Su Yang thought about it, after the first quarter, the Lakers led the Jazz 29 to 22, and only made 4 of 1 three-pointers.

In the stage of the substitute duel, the Lakers' lineup was much stronger. Hill bullied Kanter with a small mid-range shot, combined with Jeremy Lin's breakthrough, and Dior's air cut, the Jazz's defense headed by Kanter often fell into the trap. The embarrassment of the Western Wall.

Relying on the advantages established by the bench lineup, the Lakers led the Jazz 62 to 45 at the end of the half.

In the third quarter after the halftime break, the Jazz took the initiative to slow down the tempo and handed the ball to Millsap as much as possible, which took advantage of Mike Roberts' single defense on the Lakers' side, but Kobe stood up and made 7 of 5 shots. 15 points in a free throw quarter.

The Lakers entered the fourth quarter with an 18-point advantage.

Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin was very unconvinced, and sent Josh Howard, DeMarre Carroll, and Alec Burks to defend Kobe in turn, but the effect of the three was not as good as that of CJ Myers, who was absent due to injury. 8 fouls are useless.

No way, under the leadership of Su Yang, the Lakers only retained some classic routines of the triangle offense. Every time Kobe attacked with the ball, he no longer had to take the ball so obviously. The Jazz also lost the rich experience and tough style of the Sloan period. Free.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 109 to 91. The team played with 13 players, and 5 of them scored in double figures.

After a day off, the Lakers played against the Jazz again at home. Su Yang boldly experimented with Kobe's card-handling routine at the top of the arc. As a result, the other players of the Lakers did not have a high percentage of three-pointers and mid-range shots, but they finally won 87-81. Series 2 Leading to 0.

Participating in the press conference after the game, the reporter asked why he insisted on using Kobe's arc top card dealing routine which was obviously inefficient.

Su Yang said with a smile: "I guess you all forgot, we still have a guy named Stephen Curry, he is about to come back..."
