Chapter 527 Come on and have a good fight
According to the schedule, the king has a day off.

The whole team trained as usual. Su Yang took the time to watch the game between the Spurs and the Rockets. He found that Harden continued his tough style and led the Rockets to a 2-1 lead. Nader, who stepped back and made a lore shot, is a bit domineering and exposed. If he advances to the second round and meets the Warriors, he will probably play very badly.

Harden faintly looks like Kobe at the peak, and it is difficult to face the Spurs single-handedly, but no one can defend well if he can win.

The interim coach Mike Malone did his best and did not force Harden to run tactics, but maximized Harden's power.

The Warriors already lead the Grizzlies 3-0.

The Grizzlies mainly arranged for Jeff Green, Courtney Lee, and Tony Allen to defend LeBron in turns, with double-teaming and assisting defenses, as well as Marc Gasol and Randolph blocking inside, which should be the most restrained LeBron Brown's routine, but after LeBron lost weight, his mid-range and long-range shots were relatively stable, and Klay's super-accurate three-pointers were restrained. LeBron averaged 28 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds per game. Xiong, some media have proposed to award LeBron the playoff MVP.

The battle in the east is obviously not as tragic as in the west.

The Eagles, Pacers, and Bulls are all crushing. Only the garbage Raptors, the garbage brothers, and the Wizards have two guns, which is a bit indistinguishable. Both teams use the backcourt as the core of their offense. Drop three centimeters down.

At 26:[-] p.m. on the [-]th, the fourth game of the first round of the playoffs between the Kings and the Mavericks will start at the American Airlines Center Arena.

Facing the sweeping situation, the Mavericks were quite tenacious and became bigger. Nowitzki took the lead in throwing more three-pointers and blasted wildly.

However, the trend of the game has not changed much compared to the third game. The Mavericks still took the lead in the first half. After the lack of physical strength in the second half, the impact speed and shot speed slowed down, the shooting percentage decreased, and the scoring efficiency decreased accordingly, gradually falling behind the Kings. Up to 15 points.

At the end of the game, the Kings defeated the Mavericks 121 to 109, sweeping the first round 4 to 0 and advancing to the Western Conference semifinals.

Throughout the series, Curry averaged 30.4 points, 7.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game. His performance was quite dazzling, especially the 43 points in the third game, which convinced many fans, and even more fans slandered him, insisting that Curry was just a system player .

The whole team flew back to Saskatchewan overnight.

In the same night, Paul led the Clippers to successfully defend their home court advantage and tied the series with the Thunder 2-2. Paul has little moves.

Su Yang woke up at noon and saw the scene of Thunder and Clippers clashing, and suddenly had an evil idea: fight, fight...

Browsing the news interval, I suddenly saw the latest news from WOJ: According to the final statistics of the league, Su Yang, the head coach of the Kings, defeated Steve Kerr and Mike Budenholzer, the head coach of the Eagles, and was elected the NBA's best head coach of the year. Su Yang won the head coach of the year for the third time. He previously won this honor with the Thunder and the Lakers, tying Pat Riley's record.

"Good guy, I actually saw that I won the award from Twitter. This WOJ broke the news faster than the league notification..."

Between emotions, the phone rang and a new email alert sounded at the same time, and the number showed that it was from the alliance office, and he was connected at hand.

The league staff announced the award and congratulations in two simple sentences, and in the team chat, some people began to congratulate one after another.

Su Yang thanked him uniformly, and then saw fans discussing: Has Mr. Su surpassed Popovich and other coaches?

The discussion started here, and the fans were arguing fiercely, happier than he himself won the award, probably because a new topic has emerged.

The King's public relations and media departments acted immediately, and soon came up with a grand plan for the award ceremony, planning to invite Saskatchewan Mayor Kevin Johnson, small team owners, and local sponsors to participate. Su Yang directly negative.

"I accept your wishes! Don't be so extravagant, just invite the media to take pictures, and leave that kind of specification to the championship..."

Su Yang knew that the public relations and media departments also wanted to do more things, but there was really no need to spend more time and pay back favors in the future, so he didn't want to attend those unnecessary gatherings of the city government, or birthday party invitations of small bosses such activities.

28. The Kings team resumed joint training.

The Thunder and the Clippers will have to play at least six games and wait at least a week, and if they play seven games, they will have to wait more.

There is no specific opponent and no targeted training, but double-team breaks can be practiced more in advance, because both the Thunder and the Clippers like to double-team. Quick conduction and rushing three-pointers are the key content. Quick retreat after a mistake also requires Take the time to practice.

After the normal training, Su Yang asked Green to practice switching defenses at the center position, mainly against the Thunder or the Clippers. The Kings needed to deal with smaller lineups, and sometimes they needed Green to double-team Paul or Westbrook to delay the tearing of the Kings defense. formation.

The analysis work of the coaching staff and the scouting department is carried out simultaneously.

According to Su Yang's prediction, more analysis of the details of the Clippers' style of play is due to the fact that the Thunder's style of play is relatively simple and there is no need to do more research in advance; will become better and better.

Matthews did a great job defending Durant. Although Durant still averaged 29 points per game, his efficiency was a bit low.

The Thunder's staffing is not bad, and there are no serious injuries. The problem is that Coach Brooks likes to rotate with 7 people.

Therefore, Su Yang boldly predicts that the Clippers will have a higher winning rate.

There are also conspiracy theories that the league may prefer the Los Angeles team, but those ideas cannot be considered normal factors.

On the 29th, the league announced the best rookie related.

Wiggins beat LaVine to be elected, but LaVine was selected to the best rookie team, and Smart was selected to the best rookie second team.

Not long after the news was announced, there were a lot of discussions about who is better between LaVine and Smart, but the two are just names. The real focus of the discussion among fans is the comparison between Su Yang and Danny Ainge. Some fans think that Su Yang is perfect. Exploding Danny Angie's eyes.

At the award ceremony for the best head coach, the reporter also brought up the old story again, and asked Su Yang to talk about why he chose Smart first.

Su Yang said with a smile: "I don't know where you got the news! We have never given priority to Smart, our entire draft team has always given priority to LaVine, my lineup at the time was obviously lacking in three-pointers, how to choose three-pointers Extremely low player…”

After a while, he denied the facts on the spot.

LaVine's feelings must be maintained, even if he lies.

The next day, May 3st, except for the 3-[-] tie-break between the Clippers and the Thunder, all other matchups between the East and the West were decided.

The Warriors swept the Grizzlies 4 to 1, and the Rockets defeated the Spurs 4 to 2. They met in the Western Conference semifinals. LeBron fought Howard again, but Howard was no longer the leader of the team. Harden averaged 31.8 points per game, playing the strongest performance in the first round .

In the East, the Bulls played against the Raptors in the second round, and the Eagles met the Pacers. Many fans lamented that the Eastern Conference playoffs without LeBron became a bit dull. Although the Bulls’ lineup is very strong, it looks like that. , not exciting enough.

Su Yang took the time to participate in the basketball training class of the largest middle school in Saskatchewan, explaining some training methods to the children, and he was entitled to participate in community charity activities. He also wondered whether to set up a private middle school, and follow the example of Principal Gu to repay the society and help the local Chinese.

Back home, after a little discussion with Jiang Ruolan, they felt that it was completely feasible, so they decisively asked their assistant Taylor to contact and start the construction as soon as possible.

Anyway, the worst thing is to get a piece of land.

In the twinkling of an eye, on the night of May [-]nd, the entire Kings team watched the tiebreaker between the Thunder and the Clippers, waiting for the opponents in the second round.

Durant encountered strict defense, the Thunder's scoring efficiency was low, and the Clippers were not much higher. The game reached the end of the fourth quarter. For some reason, the Clippers relaxed their defense against Durant, and Durant continued Made three mid-range shots and narrowly won by 3 points in the end.

The coaching staff, the scouting department, and Cousins ​​and others took the opportunity to tease Su Yang for making a mistake in his prediction, calling it a mistake at last.

Su Yang doesn't care, the tactical pressure against the Thunder is not as great as against the Clippers, just have a good time.
