Chapter 103
On the [-]th, the Thunder played against the Eagles at home.
Like the Celtics, the Eagles also started the game with the prestige of four consecutive victories, and the team's fighting spirit is high.
Specific to offense and defense, the Eagles are also a team that is good at defense, even more ruthless than the Celtics. The average conceded points in the first four games was only 86 points. The key opponents in the four games were the Hornets, Magic, Raptors, 76 People, strength are all right.
Eagles head coach Mike Woodson was asked how to evaluate Su Yang in an interview before the game. He replied that Su Yang is the youngest head coach and is particularly good at guiding offense, but the Eagles will greatly limit those offensive tactics through defense.
When Su Yang saw the news interview in the locker room, he had a strange feeling in a trance.
Why do black coaches seem to be good at defense?
The game started at 4:1 p.m., and Woodson seemed to keep his word. He arranged for Marvin Williams to defend Durant at the beginning of the game. Relying on Marvin's good positioning, he forcibly prevented several breakthroughs, leaving Durant with only [-] shots. [-] in.
Eagles center Pachulia was equally tough on defense, harassed by various small moves, and dragged by many big moves, which made the young recruit Jordan dare not show his air.
Su Yang noticed Jordan's frightened appearance, so he stood on the sidelines and yelled at the referee, demanding a fair penalty.
The referee first gave Su Yang a verbal warning, and then gave Su Yang a technical foul, but Su Yang still did not flinch.
The audience followed him and shouted with him. The referee was under pressure and finally implemented the normal whistleblowing standards.
Just like that, Pachulia received two fouls in less than 2 minutes, and went off to rest in despair.
The eagle's replacement for Pachulia is rookie Solomon Jones, who is lower in height and weight than Jordan.
Perhaps because of the perceived height and weight advantages, and the fact that Solomon is not a veteran, Jordan, who had been obsessive before, quickly became arrogant and successfully helped the Thunder grab two offensive rebounds and make a tip-up.
Westbrook's performance was also passable. After the first quarter, the Thunder and the Hawks were tied.
In the second quarter of the game, Su Yang arranged for the substitute lineup to appear first as usual, and he was glad that the Eagles' substitutes were not too strong.
But the Eagles' bench is not very strong. Its head coach Woodson did not let Pachulia lead the team, but let Solomon and Horford lead the team too much, and let Marvin Williams rest, and came up with a set of three guards line-up.
The protection of defensive rebounds by the three-guard lineup is really poor.
Coupled with the fact that Horford is often pulled to the outside, it is difficult for Solomon to guarantee the Eagles' defensive rebounds alone.
In just a few minutes, Westbrook teamed up with Wilcox on the Thunder side to grab an offensive rebound.
Relying on offensive rebounds, the Thunder scored two consecutive offensive points and quickly established a ten-point lead.
Unexpectedly, Eagles coach Woodson still let Pachulia sit on the bench to rest, as if there was no such person.
But after Marvin Williams and other main players came on the field, the Hawks' situation was still irreversible, scoring only 16 points in the second quarter.
In the third quarter, Woodson finally let Pachulia play, and the Eagles finally stabilized their defensive rebounds.
But I never expected that after Pachulia fouled again, he was replaced again, and then he never appeared.
Su Yang was dumbfounded on the spot. For a moment, he even suspected that Woodson was playing match-fixing and wanted to manipulate the game.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Eagles 95 to 84 and unexpectedly won the second consecutive victory. The fans on the scene were very excited.
At the press conference, Su Yang was asked how to evaluate the Eagles' defense, and he said he couldn't understand it.
That night, the whole team flew to Indiana overnight to challenge the Pacers in back-to-back away games.
Durant, who was quite sluggish against the Hawks before, finally found his form, scoring 37 points and 8 rebounds.
But Westbrook struggled with speed and couldn't beat TJ Ford. He only made 10 of 1 shots in the game, and his performance was quite eye-catching.
Coupled with the lack of physical strength of the whole team, the number of turnovers was a little bit more, and it was a pity that they lost by 8 points.
After playing the Pacers, the Thunder team flew back to Oklahoma to prepare for the home game against the Magic.
On the plane, Snyder and other teaching assistants discussed stocks, saying that the subprime mortgage crisis made the stock market very bad.
Su Yang also got up to talk a few words, casually asked about Apple's stock price, and learned that Apple had plummeted recently, so he made up his mind to buy the bottom.After returning to Oklahoma, he opened an account while taking a break, and bought some casually first.
Busy about trading, training and video analysis work will be affected, and some have no skills at all.
After much deliberation, he decided to hire an assistant, but there was no suitable person for the time being, so he put it on hold for the time being.
NO.12, the game between Thunder and Magic starts.
Durant was absent due to ankle pain, and Mason's starting effect was poor, making it difficult to open up space.
Coupled with the fact that Howard sits at the basket, greatly restricting breakthroughs to the basket, and "Kobe Terminator" Michael Pietrus teamed up with "Turkish Agent" Turkoglu to sweep the flanks, it is also difficult for the Thunder to make outside shots, and their offensive firepower is greatly reduced.
After the first quarter, the Thunder fell behind by 20 points. In the next three quarters, the situation didn't change much.
In the end, the Thunder lost to the Magic 92 to 109.
Throughout the game, the only two bright spots were Jeff Green scoring 25 points efficiently and Westbrook grabbing 5 offensive rebounds.
In the press conference after the game, Su Yang praised Westbrook for being able to steal five offensive rebounds from Howard's head.
After a day off, the Thunder team flew to New York to play an away game against the Knicks whose coach had been replaced by Mike D'Antoni.
In an interview before the game, Su Yang said that many tactics were imitated by D'Antoni, and praised D'Antoni as a master of tactics.
After the start of the game, the two teams faced each other frantically, and the Thunder clearly had the upper hand in the main matchup, but it was a pity that the substitute lost to the Knicks substitute.
On the Knicks side, Nate Robinson and David Lee were too strong, and the Thunder's substitutes couldn't handle it at all, with various low points.
After finally reaching the middle of the fourth quarter, Su Yang confidently arranged for the main force to fight the decisive battle.
Who would have thought that Jamal Crawford had a convulsion and hit consecutive long-range three-pointers, forcing the point difference.
Durant and Westbrook tried their best to catch up, but there was not enough time in the end, and they lost 114 to 116.
On the flight to Philadelphia, Durant and others were still heartbroken, and their rest was also affected.
NO.15, the Thunder team challenged the 76ers back to back in away games. When the game started, all the main players looked tired.
Durant was very uncomfortable with Iguodala, and Westbrook was blocked by Miller + Dalembert, which made his shooting rate very low and breakthroughs were blocked in various ways, but Jeff Green used his range and speed one after another. The advantage is to force the old captain Brand.
But Jeff Green couldn't support the whole team alone, and the Thunder finally lost to the 99ers 110 to 76.
At the press conference after the game, the reporter asked how to solve the problem of "Durant's recent poor performance". Su Yang said that every NBA player has good and bad conditions, and I believe Durant can quickly adjust.
With a four-game losing streak, the Thunder team returned to Oklahoma to face the bitter Houston Rockets.
Surprisingly, Durant led the main force to a tie, ignoring Artest's defense on 6 of 5 shots in the first quarter.
But the Thunder's substitutes were sieved. Earl Watson and Johan Petrol made 13 of 2 shots and 4 fouls.
After the game, the Thunder lost to the Rockets 91 to 110, suffering a five-game losing streak.
After a day off, the Thunder played at home against the Clippers who had just acquired Baron Davis in the summer.
Perhaps it was due to the suppression of the relationship between seniors and brothers. As a point guard who also came from UCLA, Baron Davis took advantage of his weight and experience to completely blow Westbrook. It was a pity that the Thunder lost to the Clippers 103 to 108 in the end.
Westbrook was so angry that he didn't leave until early in the morning after extra practice that night, and Su Yang accompanied him the whole time, chatting by the way.
He didn't say much about the truth, and he didn't ask Westbrook to change immediately. He only said that he should learn to use patience slowly.
Westbrook said he remembered.
But then on the 21st and 22nd, against the Hornets in two consecutive games, Westbrook was taught by Paul to play.
The Thunder also lost to the Hornets in a row because of Westbrook's 14 of 5 shots and 13 of 4 shots, and suffered an eight-game losing streak.
Su Yang can only make up his mind to help Westbrook get rid of the problem of "being brave enough to admit his mistakes and never changing them" as soon as possible.
Back in Oklahoma, he took Westbrook to practice Go during the three-day break.
I didn't want to let Westbrook change quickly, I just wanted to let Westbrook establish a relaxed mind earlier.
After a three-day break, the Thunder faced the Suns at home, and finally lost by 1 point and suffered a nine-game losing streak.
But against Nash, Westbrook made 11 of 6 shots and sent 9 assists, with only 2 turnovers.
Durant and Green also played well, mainly because they lost at the point of shooting guard. Damien Wilkins and Kyle Waver only made 19 of 4 shots in total, against Lagabel and Barbosa , there is really no way.
On the night after the game, the entire Thunder team flew to Cleveland overnight to challenge the Cavaliers with 11 wins and 3 losses back to back.
And social media has heated discussions, speculating whether Su Yang will become the third NBA head coach to be fired after Wizards coach Eddie Jordan and Raptors coach Sam Mitchell, even if there is a full salary. guarantee contract.
ESPN listed three reasons that may cause Su Yang to dismiss get out of class. The first is that the Thunder has lost 9 games in a row and the total record is only 2 wins and 13 losses. The second is that Durant is getting farther and farther away from the All-Stars. Rookie of the Year is getting further and further away.
It was also revealed that Thunder boss Clayton thought Su Yang was a little arrogant.
The game against the Cavaliers became a key battle for Su Yang to change the situation.
