Chapter 349 Double Happiness
After finishing the press conference, the entire Lakers team rushed back to Los Angeles overnight, and hundreds of fans rushed to the airport to greet them.

Seeing that the fans were very enthusiastic, and Kobe and others were very cold, Su Yang simply made a promise, leading hundreds of fans to shout "Lakers championship" in unison, and those pictures were quickly spread on Twitter and Social platforms such as Weibo have sparked many discussions.

Those shouts were in both English and Chinese.

English sounds commonplace, but Chinese is more magical. Some Lakers fans specially recorded videos to teach those English-speaking Lakers fans who can’t pronounce to shout. .

Su Yang woke up at noon and heard Jiang Ruolan talking about the trend of learning Chinese. He felt that this was an opportunity to increase the company's reputation.

After much deliberation, he made a set of emoji packs with panda heads pumping their fists and shouting 'Lakers Champion', and retweeted and displayed them on Twitter continuously, intending to let American fans with mediocre culture of emoji packs feel the richness of Chinese emoji packs.

After all, American fans are going to play 'Sad Frog' and all sorts of cheesy GIFs.

In the evening, those emoticons really caused a lot of discussion and forwarding, and many American fans seemed to have discovered a new world.

But soon many Korean netizens jumped out, accusing Su Yang of plagiarizing Korean Internet culture and should apologize publicly.

Su Yang didn't bother to pay attention to those accusations. If it wasn't for the Lakers head coach and the owner of MT Company, he would directly scold him for being an idiot.

Taking advantage of the popularity, he announced on Twitter that MT will add an emoji chat function, welcome to download and experience.

About half an hour after the tweet was sent, the company reported that the number of MT downloads soared, and the number of daily active users also soared.

After a wave of successful marketing, the valuation of MT increased again.

While the panda head emoji package was spreading wildly, the Heat and the Knicks in the East finished the game first. Carmelo Anthony scored 41 points and narrowly won. Then the Spurs swept the Mavericks 4-0 in the West, followed by the Lakers. Western Conference second round.

Regarding the Heat's failure to sweep their opponents, the fans unceremoniously ridiculed that their dominance was not as good as the Lakers and Spurs. Su Yang carefully watched the Heat and Knicks videos, but found that LeBron had entered a fearless state ahead of time, and the CIC was quite stable. .

Su Yang also fast-forwarded through the video of the Spurs and Mavericks.

Because of not getting Diaw, the Spurs' bench strength has been weakened, and because of not getting Stephen Jackson, the Spurs' overall three-point shooting rate has been weakened. It will be more difficult to play against the Thunder in the second round, but the Lakers will definitely benefit .

Early the next morning, the Lakers held a regular meeting.

According to the plan, it should be a discussion about how to deal with the opponents in the second round, but the Lakers swept 2 to 2 and advanced too early. The potential opponents, the Clippers and the Grizzlies, tied [-] to [-]. It's not good to wait a week to be sure.

"Let Su Yang pay attention, he can always predict successfully..."

Assistant coach Mike Brown took the opportunity to flatter, but if you are not sure about your opponent, you really can only practice conventional things.

"Forehead…"

Su Yang thought quickly, but he couldn't tell who would win or lose.

The main problem of the Clippers is the lack of scorers. Butler is sloppy. The player with the highest score in the team is Paul. Lack of stamina and disorder.

If you keep your strength until the fourth quarter, it is easy to be crushed by the Grizzlies in the first three quarters. Anyway, Paul is facing a dilemma.

The key is that Jordan is not trusted by the Clippers coach, and his tactical status is not as high as Kenyon Martin, so it is outrageous.

As for the Grizzlies, the biggest problem is Rudy Gay.

Although Gay averaged 19 points per game after four games, his shooting percentage was only 42%. He took 16.3 shots and stole part of the ball from 'Black Bear' Randolph. He averaged 3.0 turnovers per game, and his defense was also very stretched. It's a chicken neck that hurts more than chicken ribs.

Originally, because of Su Yang’s appearance, they targeted Gay several times against the Grizzlies when coaching the Thunder. In the playoffs last season, the Grizzlies had arranged for Gay to be a substitute. lead to that tragedy.

This season, Gay has become the main force of the Grizzlies again, stealing the ball and space from Randolph, but the Grizzlies head coach dare not abandon Gay, and dare not let Gay play as a substitute again, resulting in the Grizzlies total It is difficult to kill the game completely, and it is easy to be flown by waves.

In short, Gay's matter is a bit similar to the "Warriors fully cultivate Wiseman" in parallel time and space. The Warriors management took the data analysis and told Cole: Our research found that when Wiseman and Curry play pick-and-rolls, the scoring efficiency is Highest…

Of course Cole understands that it is because of concentrating the ball and sacrificing Curry and others, but he can only accept suggestions. He sits and watches Wiseman's various eye-catching pick-and-roll operations in every game, and then has a high emotional intelligence in interviews. Evaluation: His potential is very high!
That is, the failure to deal with people makes it difficult to design any tactics. Coach Holzman's famous saying will never go out of date.

"Take the Clippers as the imaginary enemy, Chris Paul may be able to come up with some new tricks, the Grizzlies will always be the same style of play..."

Su Yang made a final decision, and the coaching staff and scouts followed suit. They mainly studied the pick-and-rolls of Paul and the Clippers. As for Griffin's low-post singles and Butler's catch around the screen, just take a look. Nothing too lethal.

The team training also started, the main content is Curry and other starting players running-in, but after the All-Star trade was completed, Su Yang updated the offensive and defensive system, taking into account Curry's comeback in advance, and the offensive tactics basically remained unchanged .

The more troublesome point is defense. Su Yang found Kobe on the sidelines and said bluntly: "We need you to defend Paul or Conley in the Western Conference semifinals, we need you to defend Parker or Paul in the Western Conference finals, and we don't need you to defend the opponent's point guard in the finals... "

That arrangement is to protect Curry.

It's not that Curry's defense is not good. Curry's defense is above the average level of point guards in the league. It is more about reducing Curry's consumption.

Kobe said without hesitation: "Yes, I like to defend Westbrook or Parker. I like challenges."

I thought it was necessary to state the pros and cons in detail, but I didn’t think it would be done in ten seconds. Instead, Su Yang felt a little lack of sense of accomplishment. He couldn’t help but think of the Grizzlies. Maybe people really can’t carry out a lot of work. Designing tactics is only the most basic job of a head coach. .

With Kobe leading the point guards in the West, the tactics of protecting Curry are very easy to implement. The routines such as delaying in advance and switching defenses can be used casually. The trouble is a bit troublesome, but Curry's performance against the Jazz before has completely pulled the team. Full trust.

No way, Curry's performance was too amazing, the effect of being on the court was very obvious, the whole Lakers team was convinced,

However, the fans and the media did not give Curry too much praise. The main thing is that the Lakers swept the promotion [-]-[-], which made the scene look too easy, and Curry played for a short time. The opponent is too good.

While the Lakers worked hard to protect Curry, the form of the Eastern and Western playoffs changed accordingly. The Heat and the Knicks also swept their opponents and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals. However, the Bulls were eliminated by the 76ers because of Rose's injury.

The Celtics defeated the Eagles without any risk, making many fans call the healthy Celtics also a championship contender.

In the West, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 4-2 and met the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals. There is bound to be a round of hard work.

The Clippers and the Grizzlies reached the tiebreaker. After four quarters of hard work, the Clippers advanced with Paul's game-high 19 points.

Seeing the Clippers advance, Su Yang felt elated. With the Clippers' lineup and coach, the Lakers will play very easily.

In the early morning of NO.14, the NBA officially announced that Kobe was elected as the MVP of the 11-12 season, and the voting statistics only beat LeBron by five points.

LeBron immediately tweeted congratulations to Kobe, and Kobe also forwarded it to express his gratitude, and tweeted separately to thank Su Yang for his help.

After training in the morning, Su Yang was interviewed by reporters as usual. First of all, he congratulated Kobe, and then talked about his second-round opponent, the Clippers.

ESPN reporter Lindsay asked: "The Clippers owner Sterling claimed that Kobe is old, Bynum is not there, there is no inside threat, Curry will only shoot three-pointers, they will beat the Lakers in the semifinals and become the new king of Los Angeles, What do you think about that?"

Su Yang said with a smile: "Anything is possible, but if the Clippers want to dominate Los Angeles, they need to change their boss first..."

　If the sun is overturned, Paul will be miserable...I said yesterday that the Clippers have a chance.
