Chapter 355 The King of the Western Judgment He Comes

Bynum's knee injury was reported by WOJ, and it became a hot topic on Twitter in just half an hour.

On the one hand, it coincided with the Lakers' victory over the Clippers in the first game of the Western Conference semifinals. As the other side of the transaction, Curry scored [-] points in a row. In contrast, Bynum failed to make the playoffs , the gap is very large, and discussions will naturally increase.

On the other hand, the reason for Bynum's injury was too much, it was actually because of bowling, a bit like Monta Ellis was injured while riding a motorcycle, and Stoudemire was injured by smashing a fire extinguisher, and Rademano Vecchi skiing injury…

The Warriors quickly held a press conference. General Manager Myers told reporters: "Andrew Bynum's injury is not serious. Fans don't need to worry. He will recover soon and will not miss the regular season next season. Even preseason...

We also noticed Stephen Curry's wonderful performance, hope he continues, we don't regret this trade, we are building a championship team around Andrew Bynum, we will return to the playoffs soon..."

Myers' explanation did not stop the discussion, but he began to analyze his expression when he spoke. Various people who claimed to be "professional micro-expression analysis masters" tweeted one after another, emphasizing that Myers was just talking hard, and his erratic eyes had already overwhelmed him. He's totally betrayed.

Su Yang didn't care when he saw the news. Whether Bynum can play next season has no effect on the Lakers. Anyway, Curry is already wearing a Lakers jersey, and he has played brilliantly. He has won the unanimous approval of Lakers players, fans and management recognized.

"The main task for the next step is to reach the Western Conference Finals..."

Su Yang was in a happy mood, so he packed and compressed the video of Curry being fouled but not whistled, and sent it to the league for complaint.

By the way, he sent some videos to Twitter for fans to comment on. After all, it is a long-term work for Curry to get the whistle he deserves. Get the main impression right.

NO.16, another set of matches in the Western Conference semifinals began. The Spurs beat the Thunder 101-98 in the first game.

The reason why the Thunder lost was not because the Spurs were too strong, but because Westbrook made 21 of 7 shots from the field, only 33% of the shots, and then made 4 turnovers and got 4 fouls. The overall performance was not as good as playing off the bench. Fisher was 8 for 6.

After the game, many fans and commentators crazily criticized Westbrook, mocking Westbrook with zero skills except rushing.

Some fans mocked: "If Westbrook can only perform efficiently when Su Yang is coaching, it doesn't mean how good Westbrook is, but that Su Yang is so good that he can keep him calm and send wonderful performances." assist..."

Seeing those news, Su Yang thought over and over again, and sent a text message to encourage Westbrook not to panic and not to doubt himself.As for how to play and how to improve, as the coach of another team, he didn't say much, and he couldn't say much.

Westbrook replied to the text message to express his gratitude, and promised to meet Su Yang again in the Western Conference Finals, and he will treat him to dinner at that time.

NO.17 At six o'clock in the evening, the second game between the Lakers and the Clippers in the Western Conference semifinals continued at the Staples Center.

Before the game started, Su Yang received an invitation from the United Nations Children's Charity Organization to present the 'Johnson Kennedy' Outstanding Citizen Trophy to Pau Gasol as a representative, but Su Yang refused decisively, mainly because he felt that the water was too deep and he couldn't grasp it.

Stars such as Lil Wayne, the Beckhams, Poppy Montgomery, and Mario Lopez attended the game.

The Lakers did not make any adjustments, but after the game started, the Clippers first let Randy Foye single out Curry with the ball.

Randy Foye's ability to hold the ball is not bad. He belongs to the strong type of dual guard with nerve knife. The original draft template was Wade. In order to get him, the Timberwolves used Roy to exchange with the Trail Blazers. Not vigorously cultivated.

Randy Foye wanted to use his physical advantage to overwhelm Curry in his first attack, but Curry kept in mind Su Yang's pre-match arrangement and actively pressed to disrupt Foye's dribbling rhythm. Clamp the encirclement and give full play to the collective advantage.

Once the operation was completed, Foye made an emergency stop to make a mid-range shot, but turned around and hit a three-pointer against Curry, and the nerve knife attribute was full.

However, the Clippers seem to be suffering from dependence on him. Except for his two consecutive three-pointers, others are just like Griffin and Jordan. Even Paul, who has always been efficient, also appeared inexplicably. Two low-level mistakes that should not have been made.

Moreover, Foye's offensive end is nerve-wracking, and the defensive end is almost free. He defended Curry twice and was easily broken by Curry twice.

With 4 minutes and 25 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, the Lakers led the Clippers 20-10, presenting a completely suppressed scene.

For that situation, TNT commentator Isiah Thomas commented: "The Clippers are very scared and flustered. They don't know how to deal with Stephen Curry. They use double-teaming. Curry will divide the ball and assist and use single defense. Curry's three-point threat is too great and easy to break through. The key point is that Curry's ability to finish at the basket is very strong. If there is a large-scale foul, Su Yang will lead the public opinion to attack..."

Another commentator Reggie Miller commented: "Especially when the Lakers still have Kobe Bryant..."

After the timeout, Paul tried to drive the Clippers' offensive rhythm, but the offensive discussion was too simple, and the ball was intercepted several times.

Just like that, the Clippers' offense completely stagnated, and several adjustments did not change the situation, and they were still more than ten points behind the Lakers.

The second game ended quickly. The Lakers defeated the Clippers 105-87 and took a 2-0 lead in the series.

In the whole game, Chris Paul made 9 of 4 shots, only 10 points and 5 assists, but made as many as 8 turnovers.

8 turnovers is a new career high for Paul, and Paul, who has always been known for his low assist-to-turnover ratio, has fallen into criticism.Some fans believe that Paul does not have the ability to perform continuously, control the team's offensive rhythm, but rely heavily on his teammates.

Su Yang, however, rushed many reporters at the press conference of the game: "Kobe and I didn't rest yesterday. We met at the training base and studied for a whole afternoon how to prevent Chris Paul from playing the dominant performance at the beginning of G1. Our whole team is dedicated to It took a lot of effort, but fortunately we have had some success, and we will continue to study how to limit Paul."

NO.18, another matchup in the Western Conference semifinals. The Spurs took an 11-point lead in the first half and beat the Thunder strongly.

Westbrook performed much better than in the first game, but Ibaka, Sefolosha and Perkins made 20 of 5 shots combined.

The Thunder fell behind 0 to 2, so that Su Yang, who had nothing to do with him, gained a lot of prestige among the fans and the media. The main reason is that the effect of Su Yang leading the team is far better than that of Brooks. The various praises are quite crazy. Tom Ward.

When Su Yang himself was interviewed, he talked about the comparison with coach Brooks, saying: "I don't think it can be compared that way, because Tyson Chandler is no longer in the Thunder, and Jeff Green has not been able to play. The conditions for me to lead the team were obviously better. Some.

And the Thunder has the possibility of a comeback. The series is far from over. I believe KD and Russell can do it. "

Su Yang's remarks won a lot of praise, and the black fan Bill Simmons tweeted: "It seems that he still recognizes KD..."

NO.19 At [-]:[-] p.m., the third game between the Lakers and the Clippers in the Western Conference semifinals continued at the Staples Center.

Although it is nominally the home of the Clippers, more Lakers fans came to watch the game. Even Jessica Alba, a well-known beautiful Clippers fan, said in an interview: "Since Baron Davis left, I have more Watching Lakers games."

Maybe it was because of the pressure of being behind 0 to 2, or maybe it was more adaptable after finally returning to the home court, or maybe the referee intentionally controlled the entry of the game. In the opening 3 minutes, Kobe fouled twice and Curry fouled once, which completely disrupted the Lakers' rotation plan. .

Anyway, the Clippers started the game very strongly, leading the Lakers 33 to 11 in the first quarter, and Griffin scored 14 points.

During the break between festivals, Su Yang accepted an on-the-spot interview with ESPN, talked about the adjustments he would make, and said with a smile: "The Clippers will send it themselves. We just need to play according to the normal rhythm. The Clippers are a team that is good at being overturned. Just wait and see..."

In the second quarter, the offense started. Just as Su Yang predicted, the Clippers did not adjust their offensive and defensive scales in time. Facing the referee's high-pressure whistle, Paul suffered two consecutive fouls and left the game early to rest, causing the Clippers to collapse directly on the offensive end. Can only fight indiscriminately.

The Lakers took the opportunity to score 32 to 20 in a single quarter. At the end of the half, they were only 10 points behind the Clippers.

Back from the halftime break, Curry made a killing on the offensive end, and Kobe joined the inside line on the defensive end to limit Paul with all his strength.

The overall defensive strength of the Lakers also improved simultaneously, and the Clippers made 20 of 4 shots in a single quarter, 0 free throws, and only 8 points.

The Lakers successfully overtook and took advantage of the situation to launch a general attack, allowing the referee to call Dior for 3 fouls in a row, but failed to form a resistance.

At the end of the game, the Lakers beat the Clippers 99-86, taking a 3-0 lead in the series and advancing in sight.

Curry scored 23 points and 10 assists. In contrast, because Paul was targeted, he made 17 of 5 shots and only 12 points.

Three to zero made the series between the Lakers and the Clippers completely lost suspense, and Su Yang also spared some energy to focus on other teams.

东部那边，凯尔特人与76人打成2比2平，热火也跟步行者打成2比2平。

As for the West side, the Thunder returned home and beat the Spurs by 20 points. The Spurs made a rare 21 turnovers.

May NO.20 at 07:30 p.m., the fourth game of the Western Conference semifinals between the Lakers and the Clippers continued at the Staples Center.

The Clippers, who were on the edge of the cliff, were unwilling to give up, and the referee obviously helped, but Griffin, Butler, and Paul, under the strong defensive interference of the Lakers, made a total of 15 of 4 shots in the first quarter, and they were completely unable to play at a normal level. The momentum collapsed.

In that way, the Lakers finally defeated the Clippers 112 to 99, with a score of 4 to 0, sweeping and advancing to the Western Conference Finals.

Many media reports: Kobe is the king of the Western Conference finals, and with the help of Su Yang, the Lakers have a high probability of reaching the finals.

There are also media reports: If the Thunder advance to the Western Conference finals, they will most likely be eliminated by Su Yang...
