I'm a big shot in basketball

The schedule for the Western Conference finals will be announced.

After only one day of rest, NO.20 will start playing, which is not very friendly to the Lakers, but the Warriors have had enough rest.

NO.19 Early in the morning, Su Yang rushed to the FDB center of the training base. As usual, he took the coaching staff and scouting team to do analysis. However, there was nothing in the repeated video that required more in-depth research. The Lakers still stayed the same as Phil. system:

The offense mainly focuses on the triangle dynamics, and the defense does not give three-pointers and basket rushes, but only gives the most difficult mid-range, playing with gambling psychology.

In the past, the Warriors had to contact the mid-range shots for emergency stops, but the three starting mid-range shots in the team, Yao, Garnett, and Bell, have achieved great shooting abilities. The substitutes Granger, Jackson, and Webber are also masters of mid-range shots. No practice required at all.

"We try to be single on the defensive end,

Gasol can't beat Garnett, Turiaf and Bynum are not Yao's opponents, Bell and Prince can at least limit Kobe's skill by 50%, as for the cost of deceiving the Jazz to leave the team and rejoin the Lakers in the middle of the season Scheer, both offensive and defensive ends are Billups' toys, and our rotation of the bench is so complete that the Lakers can let Kobe average 50 points per game. "

Su Yang gave an overview of the layout, followed by various detailed training plans, and the assistant coaches turned to lead the players to train.

During the shooting warm-up, the Rockets boss Alexander called, "Sue, we have terminated Jeff Van Gundy's contract and are currently looking for a new head coach. We hope to interview Brad Stevens, can you agree? ?”

Su Yang replied without hesitation: "Of course, Stevens already has the ability to lead the team on his own. I will talk to him first. If he is interested, I will notify you to initiate a formal request..." Can make the teaching assistants It is a good thing to spread out in the league and form a network of Warriors. As for the shortage of people after Stevens leaves, it only needs to promote David Joerger or Vogel to the top.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang beckoned to call Stevens to the office, explaining the reason quickly and directly, and Stevens agreed happily.Su Yang reminded again that most of the competitors were Adelman, "Considering the Rockets' lineup, you should try to show the ability to lead a team without an All-Star team to the playoffs. Alexander didn't think about winning the championship."

"OK, I see."

Stevens doesn't care whether he can lead the team to win the championship quickly as the head coach. Anyway, he has already won several championship rings. As long as he can succeed in the interview and lead the Rockets rebuilding team to achieve good results, he will go to other teams after proving his ability.

Training continues,

In the evening, the results were also drawn in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics' Big Three advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cavaliers. However, the Celtics' upper limit is prominent. The main Big Three need to hold the ball in their hands to play efficiently, and the defensive end performance is really a bit. Difference,

It is very likely that LeBron and the Cavaliers will be upset.

On the NO.20 game day of the next day, the first game of the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and the Lakers started at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

Su Yang arrived at the arena at [-]:[-] p.m., arranged various pre-match warm-up training, and then rushed to the media center for an interview.

Talking about the Lakers boss Jr. Buss emphasized that the Lakers have no starting centers and forwards suffering from injuries this season, and they are not too old as a whole. They are going to give the Warriors a head-on blow. Haven't proven that he can win the championship without O'Neal, and why Gasol was swept in the Grizzlies playoffs in a row, and whether the Pacers or Kings play better without Artest, but that doesn't fit me It seems that my four consecutive championships are too stingy.

Therefore, I want to tell Jim Buss directly, that is, our Warriors’ hard power is a level higher than that of the Lakers, and our overall experience is more abundant than the Lakers. We have predicted all potential changes of the Lakers, and we will win easily. "

The interview soon appeared in the reports. Commentators and fans complained that Su Yang was too black-bellied, and he even beat around the bush to smear bad comments. For example, Kobe was often questioned that he could not win the championship without O'Neal, but that was not because Kobe was too weak, but because the Warriors were too weak. powerful,

The TMD Warriors have won four consecutive championships with one team. How can other teams and stars compete with each other? It's too bad.

In a blink of an eye, the game started at six o'clock, the pre-match ceremony was over, and the announcer loudly announced the lineups of the two teams. On the Lakers side, the second-year player Bynum was the starting center, unlike Turiaf who had been the starting center for a long time. ,Slightly different.

Seeing Stevens and other teaching assistants showing a little surprise,

Su Yang said with a smile: "Phil Jackson arranged for Bynum to be the starting center, mainly to guarantee the rebounds, and also wanted to use Bynum's ignorant defensive actions to give Dayao or our other players some mental and physical consumption. ,

But Bynum has a fatal flaw that it is difficult to control fouls.

As a high school student, he has not undergone rigorous training. With Dayao's offensive and defensive skills, he can definitely get rid of him quickly. Not only does it not help the Lakers, but it is easy for them to enter the bonus of fouls and free throws faster. Phil belongs to the gamble…"

Then the game started,

The Warriors won the jump ball. Following Su Yang's on-the-spot instructions, the whole team directly launched a triangle attack to stretch the space. Dayao received the ball and singled out Bynum. Nam stopped the action and turned around to shoot.

Bynum's head was hot and he flew to block the block. Yao smiled and took a half-beat slowly, then took the initiative to lean up and make contact with his body, and then shot.

The basketball hit the backboard and rebounded into the net. The referee whistled at the same time and called Bynum for a thug foul, and gave Dayao an additional penalty.

Seeing this, Su Yang stood up and applauded, and Stevens and other assistant coaches laughed. Everything was as Su Yang expected, and the first round was staged.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Dayao made a free throw.

The Lakers hastily launched a counterattack. Gasol first received the ball at the left elbow, but facing Garnett's tough defense, it was like a docile sheep confronting a ferocious tiger. Both physical and mental self-limitation, two strong attacks failed. As a result, pass the ball quickly.

Artest received the ball from the left wing and faced Prince, but he clearly had the weight advantage. However, his offensive skills were relatively poor. The three-threat test and the level of starting off the ball were far inferior to Wade and Kobe, who Prince used to defend, and even Carter. Big difference,

He could only charge wildly, but it was difficult to start. Seeing that the attack time was running out, he quickly threw the ball to the left corner,

And Fisher happened to use Gasol to lift up to cover and go around to the left corner. When he caught the ball and pulled it up, he made a strong shot, ignoring Bilu.

Fisher's movements are quite domineering, but the three-pointer is too hard, and the basketball flies over the basket abruptly and becomes non-stick.

Dayao received the basketball and turned around to make a long pass to Bell. Garnett rushed to follow up. Gasol couldn't keep up. The situation became four-on-three for the Warriors. The ground tossed the ball and hit the board, and Garnett followed up and took off,

Bang Dangkong received dunks.

Easy side Lakers attack again, a cover run, Kobe's right waist catches the ball and hits back, while Bell, who is in charge of defense, according to Su Yang's pre-match arrangement, decisively chooses to block the upper line and force the bottom line, only guarding against shooting but not breaking through, inducing Kobe Walk the bottom line and rush into the basket to enter the encirclement.

Kobe, who was not afraid of anything, really turned around and walked to the bottom line to rush to the basket. He faced Yao and Garnett, two big men who protected the frame to make up defenses. He forcibly took off and glided in the air. stamina, to achieve the goal.

Of course, Kobe is a player with both offense and defense, and he is also a stamina monster who can play seven games of 40+ minutes in a series. However, according to past statistics and video analysis, after Kobe’s physical strength declined in the playoffs, his offensive and defensive efficiency also decreased. If you want to reduce it, then let him consume points with high difficulty, even if he averages 50+ per game, it doesn't matter, the Warriors only need to win the game.

Turn around and the warriors attack again,

Billups still teasingly commanded the triangle pass to start, and the basketball was once again given to Dayao on the left waist.

Perhaps considering that Dayao doesn't like to talk trash, Garnett yelled at Bynum instead: "Hey, that high school kid, you can't guard Yao's shots, he is taller than you, he is more flexible than you , he is better at shooting than you, he will blow you up!"

After the words fell, Dayao, with a smile on his lips, turned around and raised his hand to shoot, his movements deliberately slower than usual by half a beat.

But Bynum was too nervous, and instantly jumped up to block the shot. The Lakers bench and many players on the court complained in unison.

Beep!The referee whistled for a foul.

It's a pity that Dayao's high-volume shot failed to hit the board, otherwise it would be 2+1, and the scoring efficiency would be several times higher than Kobe's drawbar.

Phil Jackson resentfully used Turiaf to replace Bynum who had committed two fouls on his back, and at the same time instructed Turiaf to go around more and interfere with Yao's receiving the ball. Buckle, because Gasol will help in time to defend.

Turiaf appeared on the stage suspiciously. For him to use his height of 208 cm and weight of 111 kg to face Yao who is 226 cm tall and weight of 127 kg, it is really difficult for him to inspire self-confidence, so he can only defend more.

The free throws are over and the game continues.

The Lakers started from right to left with strong and weak transmission, and gave the ball to Gasol again. However, Gasol seemed to be suppressed by the blood, and the offensive action was deformed visible to the naked eye. The last shot might be too worried about being interfered, and the range was particularly high. , Bangdang hit the top of the backboard, amused the fans burst into laughter, probably never experienced such a high-intensity playoffs before,

After all, the first few playoffs in his career were swept in the first round.

The referee whistled for an out-of-bounds error, and the Warriors continued to attack after kicking off from the baseline. Billups saw that Turiaf's defense was particularly strong, so he immediately gave up the triangle offensive tactic with a clear conduction trajectory, and called the horn formation to start. .

Dayao knew his position in seconds, then went up to the wall to cover, then turned around and cut inside, and then received a pass from Garnett at the top of the arc, connecting high and low, easily breaking the Lakers' compressed passing space and Turia The husband's strategy of going around the front, took advantage of the situation, turned around and scored with a hook.

With that kind of operation, Jeff Van Gundy sighed again and again in the ESPN live broadcast: "Everyone bear with it, Garnett will leave this summer, and the Warriors' invincible inside combination will be resolved soon. Please also ask all teams to trade with the Warriors carefully. Power Forward…"

The on-court game continued, and the Lakers started with strong and weak hands as usual. Kobe chose to go around 45 degrees to the left to catch the ball, and took advantage of the situation to find Turiaf to cover. And Prince did not hesitate to shrink the encirclement.

Kobe was able to force a layup with the defense of the three, but he also understood that even if he scored, he would consume a lot of energy. He decisively passed the ball to Fisher who got an open space, but Billups did not return to defend, but chased and defended. Kobe's Bell has switched defenses.

Fisher couldn't make a shot, so he just took advantage of the trend and broke through to the inside. However, he was faced with a siege after only one step, and quickly passed the ball to Artest who was the closest. Prince landed.

This time Artest knew that he couldn't beat Prince in the rhythm of the game, so he buried his head in a violent dash, but he just hit the free throw line, and let a bunch of people take the lead. He subconsciously stopped the ball and wanted to find Kobe, but his vision was limited and the attack time There are only three seconds left, so quickly pull up the strong shot.

The basketball bounced back with a bang, Dayao got the rebound and made a long pass to the center line. He quickly got off Prince and took it to the basket in the frontcourt to score steadily. He helped the Warriors lead the Lakers 9-2 in the start and made the Lakers It is very difficult to score.

The game continued, the two teams came and went, and soon entered the final 3-minute rotation stage, and the Warriors led by 13 points.

On the Lakers side, Kobe Bryant chose not to leave the game. Together with Odom, he led Wharton and Brian Cook and other weaker players to fight hard. On the Warriors side, the bench lineup was too luxurious. Su Yang ranked Granger, Jackson and Webber. main lineup,

Single defense against Kobe consumes energy,

The offensive end was ruthless. Although it failed to further expand the lead, it exhausted Kobe's energy.

The game reached the end of the third quarter, and the situation remained unchanged. Phil Jackson boldly adjusted his strategy, arranged for Odom to appear early, and then let Gasol go to the center position to match Dayao, but took advantage of the Warriors' rotation. , successfully narrowed the gap.

But the predicament of adapting to Odom in advance appeared in the fourth quarter. Kobe was too weak with a power forward like Brian Cook as a substitute. Some small open positions were unwilling to pass the ball. In addition, his own physical strength was also declining. A wave of 7 shots 1 put the Lakers in a deep vortex.

The Warriors launched a wave at the same time, laying a strong foundation for victory in the game, and finally defeated the Lakers 115 to 102 to win their first victory.

In the whole game, the Warriors scored in double figures with seven players. Yao scored 25 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. He caused Bynum, Turiaf and Gasol to commit ten fouls in total. Some people took the opportunity to discredit Dayao. And the Warriors rely on the whistle to win.

For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant scored 42 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Both Gasol and Artest were seriously out of order.

After the game, he attended the press conference and talked about why he was able to not fall behind in the whole game. Su Yang said with a smile: "Just like what I said in the interview before the game, our hard power is stronger than the Lakers. No matter how we play, we are king bombers. The Lakers can only walk a tightrope to the limit,

Although we were 1-3 against the Lakers in the regular season, the playoffs were completely different, and we were promoted again..."

The media and fans are more concerned about Jeff Van Gundy's revelation in the middle of the game. There is a big disagreement on whether Garnett will leave the Warriors, and those fans who believe that Garnett will leave the Warriors have suggested that they find ways to recruit.

According to the schedule, the second game will start on the 23rd. Taking advantage of the time, Su Yang temporarily set up a real estate department in the META Group, specializing in the research of land and real estate in California, Texas and Florida that may appreciate in the future, and prepares to take advantage of the land and real estate caused by the economic crisis. Prices have fallen sharply, like Bill Gates hoarding more land, anyway, all businesses end up in real estate.

The father-in-law Arnault also joined in, complaining that only 20 billion US dollars can't do much, so he directly set up a company with assets of 50 billion US dollars and handed it over to Su Yang to cooperate in buying land under the joint name of LV Group and META Group.

Su Yang imagined in advance that the apartment would be sold to Asian immigrants after it was repaired, and he would be trained in various gun security measures by the way.

Two days of busy work on the 23rd game day.

The league took advantage of the lottery held in New Jersey before the start of the game. The Sonics upset and won the No. [-] lottery, while the Grizzlies with the worst record got the second overall pick.After reading it, Su Yang said that it really hurts, and it is estimated that the first pick will make the Supersonics hesitate to trade.

Fortunately, after West left from the Grizzlies, he did not agree to Ballmer's recruitment and decided to rest for a while. Otherwise, if a champion chooses Durant, or he is willing to exchange with more conditions, it will be the ultimate lore. It can be said that the Jade Emperor blesses you.

After the lottery, the second game between the Warriors and the Lakers began.

The Lakers made a desperate move. Phil directly arranged Gasol as the starting center to face Yao, then arranged Odom as the starting power forward, and then let Radmanovich as the small forward. ball ability.

Su Yang also changed his tactics on the spot, arranging Prince to defend Kobe, and then changing the small forward position to Granger to deal with Rademar.

Such an operation successfully suppressed the Lakers' offensive.

But the Lakers were willing to give up easily. Phil allowed the four starters other than Kobe to play for 12 minutes in the first quarter. Support the situation, a tie at halftime.

The Warriors didn't panic at all. They understood that the sooner the Lakers go shopping, the easier it will be to follow-up. They dealt with it patiently in the third quarter.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the Lakers Gasol and Lamar Odom and other main players were visibly exhausted, and their defensive efficiency dropped sharply. The Warriors easily played a wave of 11-2 attacks, and finally killed the game 119-105. The series is 2 to 0.

After the game, I attended the new press conference and talked about the results of the previous lottery meeting. If I had the No. [-] lottery, who would I choose?

Su Yang said with a smile: "Even if you choose [-] times, you still choose Oden. Although we have Yao Ming, we can definitely play the twin towers. Of course, compared to the twin towers of Oden + Yao Ming, the twin towers of Garnett and Yao Ming are better." Great, Oden still needs some time to grow."

The reporter asked Van Gundy about Garnett leaving the Warriors in the summer. Su Yang changed the subject and said that he hadn't discussed the contract yet, but he would try his best to get Garnett to stay, because any fool can see that Garnett and Yao Ming are perfect. Complementary inside combination.

The reporter asked again: "If the Sonics choose to use the No. [-] pick to exchange Garnett with you, will you consider trading?"

Su Yang chuckled: "I've already said that Oden still needs some time to grow up. He's not as good as Garnett for the time being..."

After the press conference was over, Su Yang returned to the office and received a call from Ballmer. It was indeed a matter of postponing the transaction, and he didn't bother to worry about it. After all, it was just a verbal transaction, perhaps because of Ballmer's indecision, or because the partner disagreed.

After a night of rest, the Warriors flew to Los Angeles, preparing to win at least one of the two away games and establish a series victory.
