Chapter 392 Pain and happiness
Post-match press conference.

Su Yang specially brought Chasing Dream Green to attend, and let Chasing Dream sit in the C seat of the interview seat, becoming the focus of the audience.

He wants to take away Dreaming Green and use it as a team building puzzle after he successfully buys the team in the future, but he will never deliberately suppress Dreaming Green's performance, so that the Lakers, especially Buss Jr., will give up the big contract and offer Green. Compete with dignity.

On the other hand, although this kind of cultivation will make the Lakers pay more attention to Green, Green will also thank him more.

"Excuse me, Coach Su Yang, is Draymond Green's last baseline long pass a tactic you designed in advance?" ESPN team reporter Lindsay asked.

Su Yang picked up the microphone: "Strictly speaking, the attack after the Spurs shot is a tactic I arranged in advance during the timeout, and the long pass method is a strategy that 'Dream Chaser' Green thought of. It's very smart. , very creative."

After the words fell, Green laughed happily, and the team reporter Lindsay asked: "Is Chasing Dream the new title you gave him?"

Su Yang nodded: "I think it fits Green's image, the word chasing dreams is also the translation of the Chinese homonym of his name..."

"I like this title. I have been working hard to achieve greatness. It perfectly reflects my personal goals. I really like it. You can call me that in the future..." Chasing Dream Green answered excitedly, as if approved by the coach of minions.

TNT reporter Maggio turned to ask: "The last block, how did you make that decision?"

"I followed the strategy assigned by coach Su Yang..." Chasing Dream Green turned to look at Su Yang, "He told us during the timeout that the Spurs like the strong and weak transfer strategy very much, so I paid attention to the off-ball area in advance, and then So it happened."

"I told you earlier that Chasing Dream Green will be the best defensive player, just wait and see!" Su Yang added.

Green is the kind of natural defensive champion, which is difficult to show in the NBA, but in international competitions such as the US team Olympic Games, his ruthless defense can be said to be very full, even if he can't defend big man.

The press conference ended in a blink of an eye, and Chasing Dream Green returned to the court to practice three-pointers according to the previous agreement.Su Yang accompanied him briefly, and talked about the positioning of the team by the way. He said bluntly that if Green's three-point shooting rate can reach 35%, Green will be the starting power forward.

After Green listened, he trained harder.

Regarding Green's performance at the end, as well as Su Yang's post-match press conference, there were some discussions on major social platforms.

Netizen 'Zhou Jietuo' wrote: Damn it, Su Yang pretended again, but I insist that Green's behavior like that was just accidental.

Netizen 'Dabo Mermaid Miha Da' wrote: Su Yang deliberately avoided Green's poor performance at the beginning of the second quarter.

Netizen '爨軉灪精鬻' wrote: Kobe bit the defense for the whole game, but Green took the credit for a gambling block.

Netizen 'eight-level strong wind' wrote: What do you mean?Didn't praise Curry for that three-pointer?Is Su Yang going to cooperate with the Lakers management to suppress Curry's contract extension? I really misread Su Yang as a lackey of capitalists.

Amid all kinds of discussions, Su Yang drove back to the apartment and checked the news and found that the Heat defeated the Celtics 120-107. Ray Allen played 31 minutes and made 7 of 5 shots in total, 8 of 7 free throws and 0 turnovers. Contributed 19 points and slapped the face like crazy.

"It's a pity that Ray Allen failed to be notified in advance to Jim Buss, and I don't know what's going on..." Su Yang felt emotional, recalling that Xia Tian suggested that the management try to pursue Ray Allen and PJ Tucker, As a result, none were obtained.

After a night of rest, early the next morning, the entire Lakers team flew to Portland on a special plane to challenge the Trail Blazers in back-to-back away games.

Canales, the Blazers' interim replacement coach last season, has not become a regular. The head coach who took office this season is former Mavericks assistant Terry Stotts. He is good at guiding offense and learned a FLOW tactical system from Rick Carlisle. Stretch your muscles.

The game started at six o'clock, and the Blazers started Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, and JJ Hickson.

That kind of lineup, compared to the famous "Ade: I go to the Spurs, Matthews: I go to the Mavericks, Batum: I go to the Hornets, Lillard: Then I go to die", only one "Lopez : I'm going to the Knicks", the Blazers are about to form a five-tiger lineup.

After the coaching change, the style of the Blazers has changed drastically. Batum has become the axis of offense. He is no longer the guy under McMillan who is responsible for passing the ball and shooting three-pointers. It's very comfortable to catch the ball in the low post.

The Lakers played back-to-back, and started slowly. Kobe, Artest, and Hill made mistakes in turn. Fortunately, Gasol quickly found his form. After the first quarter, he was only 26-30 behind. Explosion.

The main reason is that the Blazers adjusted the rotation and let Adelaide take charge of leading the team at the beginning of the second quarter, while Green faced Adelaide statically in the low post, and his height and weight were crushed. Turning over and lifting a jumper is almost useless.

In just a few minutes, Adelaide made 8 of 6 shots, scored 12 points with zero free throws, and led the team to make it difficult for the Lakers to score off the bench.

It wasn't until Su Yang sent Kobe and other helpers again that the Lakers broke the scoring drought and trailed 45-60 at halftime.

After returning from the halftime break, Su Yang arranged to focus on Adelaide.

It's a pity to defend Aldridge, but completely released the Blazers' outside offensive firepower. Batum made 5 of 4 shots, including 2 three-pointers. More, the Blazers scored 32 points in the third quarter.

On the Lakers side, relying mainly on Kobe and Curry to attack with the ball, the team scored a total of 31 points and did not narrow the point difference.

After three quarters, Su Yang saw McMillan's embarrassed face. He guessed it was related to Batum's strategy. The main reason was that Batum was under McMillan, and the highest average assist per game was only 1.5, but Batum was under Stotts. , with an average of 4.9 assists per game.

The key point is that Batum's average assists per game has increased significantly, and his scoring has not only not declined, but has further increased, which is really embarrassing.

Su Yang originally wanted to give some enlightenment, emphasizing the changes in the Blazers lineup, etc., but he felt that the words were inappropriate, so forget it.

Perhaps to win the first game of the season for insurance, the Blazers dispatched Adelaide and other main players in advance in the fourth quarter, and directly forced Green for two consecutive rounds. Seeing this, Su Yang had to withdraw Green and sent Kobe and other main players ahead of schedule. Can't do it.

After the whole game, the Lakers lost to the Trail Blazers 109 to 116. Kobe scored 33 points and Curry scored 30 points.

Many fans caught Green and yelled, saying that he gave too many points to Adelaide, and that Kobe and Curry should not get so much playing time. They also thought that Su Yangcun was purely out of selfishness and always wanted to slap Jim in the face. Bass, should let Green serve as the second substitute.

The reporter interviewed Su Yang with the fans’ comments and asked what he thought. Su Yang emphasized: “The loss is my responsibility. I failed to lead the team to suppress the Blazers in terms of momentum. I am not God, and there are things I can’t do.” I hope everyone understands."

The interview became news, and it took about half an hour to post it on the Internet. Green went to Su Yang to apologize, saying that he had been hurt.

Su Yang said with a smile: "Don't be so sensitive, don't be like Kevin Durant, pay too much attention to external evaluation, you have to be yourself..."

After two days of rest, the Lakers played against the Clippers at home.

The main Clippers substitutes are really strong, led by super sixth man Jamal Crawford, defensive giant Matt Barnes, left-handed magician Odom, LeBron point guard Eric Bledsoe, The defensive level is average, and the impact is relatively fierce.

The loss is the loss, and the degree of running-in of the Lakers' bench lineup is also visible to the naked eye. Su Yang is delighted to see that Meeks and Bazemore, together with Green, is a bit like a beggar's version of the Warriors. So, just wait for the stability to be practiced.

On November 6th, the Lakers beat the Pistons at home. When Green was facing the same stocky Jason Mark Hill, he was more flexible and took advantage. He scored 8 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals and [-] blocks, full defensive attributes.

After the game, ESPN tweeted: The Lakers have a record of 2 wins and 2 losses in the first week of the new season, and their dominance has dropped sharply. In comparison, the Miami Heat have won 4 consecutive victories at the beginning. We can still see 23VS24 in the finals next year ?
