Chapter 111 Staged Victory
When the phone was dialed, Duffy laughed unabashedly, mentioning that he was suggested to be the chief teaching assistant first.
Su Yang also finds it interesting. If he changes from the chief assistant to the head coach, the fans and the management will think that he is taking over the mess, and there will not be so many troubles. If he directly serves as the head coach, the expectation is to bring about huge changes.
After chatting for a while, he mentioned that he wanted to find someone to help manage the investment. Duffy said that he would first arrange an assistant named Taylor.
After the matter was settled, Su Yang contacted his assistant Taylor to confirm the interview time.
After finishing his personal affairs, he put his focus back on the team, and added passing training to Durant according to the plan, mainly focusing on how to complete the pass in a double-team state. After all, as Durant's ability to hold the ball has greatly improved , there will be more and more double-teaming.
After training for most of the day, Durant excitedly expressed that he was determined to be at the level of LeBron.
Su Yang knew that it was unnecessary and impossible, so he encouraged him with a smile: Anyone who has a dream is great.
On December [-], the Thunder challenged the Bobcats away.
After being trained by the famous coach Larry Brown, the Bobcats are extremely oppressive offensively and defensively, and it is a bit difficult for the Thunder to adapt to the four-day break.
The most uncomfortable was Wilcox, because of his rough technique, he got 3 fouls in the first quarter.
Durant and Green have a dislocation advantage and played well, but basketball is difficult to pass to the two. The Bobcats used the method that the Pistons used to restrict O'Neal back then, frequently interfering with long arms, plus going around the front and double-teaming, and letting the outside line go. shoot.
Westbrook was okay on the perimeter, but the Bobcats grabbed offensive rebounds because of Emeka Okafor.
Those offensive rebounds were efficiently converted into second offensive points in the hands of Okafor, helping the Bobcats firmly control the situation.
After the game, the Thunder lost 101 to 103. The main reason was that they were robbed of 12 offensive rebounds.
The whole team returned to the locker room, and Jordan apologized remorsefully.Su Yang reassured him that it was okay, saying that grabbing rebounds was a matter for the whole team. After Wilcox was troubled by fouls, it was equivalent to having fewer people to help Jordan get stuck, so naturally he couldn't grab them.
After a day off, the Thunder rushed to Orlando to challenge the Magic away.
Considering that Howard has too much offensive and defensive advantage in the interior, and the Magic is good at two forwards cruising around the perimeter to supplement the defense, Su Yang adjusted his positioning on the spot, allowing Durant to return to the shooting guard, and teamed up with Westbrook to take advantage of his height advantage to overwhelm the Magic. A post who is not tall enough, Reddick and Nelson both looked anxious, made various fouls, and all kinds of helplessness.
Su Yang also let Jeff Green serve as a small forward, making various air cuts and roaming, forcing the Magic to form a double team.
Even so, the Thunder still couldn't handle Howard's inside attack, double-teaming and being shot three-pointers.
During the intermission, Su Yang kept building up Jordan's mind, worrying that Jordan would be beaten to collapse by Howard.
The scores of the two teams were still unable to draw. With 4 minutes left in the game, Su Yang instructed to start the hacking tactics.
I never thought that Howard's free throw percentage is not bad, but the efficiency is lower than singles and three-pointers after all.
Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy in turn instructed the players to cut Jordan, and Su Yang immediately replaced him.
At the end of the game, Westbrook intercepted Howard's pass, dunked quickly, and narrowly beat the Magic by 3 points.
At the post-match press conference, Stan Van Gundy denounced the Thunder's ugly style of play and denounced Su Yang for abusing the rules.
Su Yang ignored it, and the whole team flew to Miami overnight to challenge the Heat back to back.
Before the start of the game, the Timberwolves announced the dismissal of owner coach Randy Whitman, and general manager Kevin McHale served as the head coach temporarily. However, an anonymous source said that the main reason for Randy Whitman's dismissal was the previous big loss to the Thunder.
In line with the principle of coaches helping coaches, Su Yang issued a statement on behalf of the Coaches Association, feeling sorry for Whitman.
In his opinion, Whitman's level is limited, but the Timberwolves' management and owner are even worse, but no one blames them.
After the statement was made, the game started immediately.
Considering that the Heat are Haslem who is not good at mid-range shooting and rookie Joel Anthony, Su Yang arranged for the Thunder to double-team Wade crazily. At the same time, Wade's passing route even used the BOX1 defensive strategy several times.
After a tough battle, the Thunder won 99-94. Durant scored 32 points and 7 rebounds.
Wade only recorded 18 points, and the two gradually narrowed the distance on the way to the scoring championship.
In an interview with reporters after the game, Su Yang publicly suggested that other teams in the league use the BOX1 defensive strategy against Wade, because Wade's state this season is against the sky, and the Heat are more stretched than others, and limiting Wade will win half of the win.
Of course, his real idea is to let other teams help lower Wade's scoring average, which is a little evil.
After the Heat, the Thunder team flew back to Oklahoma and got two days off.
According to the agreement, Su Yang met with his assistant Taylor to authorize stock purchase and investment related matters.
Taylor advised him to buy more shares in Nokia, saying that there was inside information that Nokia was about to launch a 3G mobile phone.
Su Yang couldn't help recalling the Nokia 5230, a generation of magic phone, and declined the suggestion on the spot.
On the eighth, the Thunder played against the Warriors at home.
Because Ellis was injured and reimbursed, the Warriors have decided to play poorly, and there is basically no defense in the game.Su Yang intends to arrange more tactics for Durant, and Durant scored 45 points in the game, bringing the scoring average closer to Wade, who is at the top of the list again.
The Thunder also defeated the Warriors 113 to 109, winning three consecutive victories for the second time this season, with a total record of 8 wins and 14 losses.
After a day off, the Thunder continued to host the Grizzlies at home.
In an interview before the game, Grizzlies coach Mark Yaffroni said that he was inspired by Su Yang and was boldly trying to change.
After Su Yang heard the news, he was secretly delighted that the alliance could lead the trend, and sooner or later he would become a Pat Riley-style godfather.
He once thought that after the game started, he found that the so-called bold change of the Grizzlies was to let Lowry replace Conley as the starting point guard, and let Darko Milicic replace Marc Gasol as the starting center. put fuck.
Su Yang knew that Makia Faroni was wrong, but he was not polite. He made a little arrangement in the first quarter, and the Thunder blasted 37 to 19.
Then, the Grizzlies never recovered.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Grizzlies 112 to 98 and won four consecutive victories.
At the post-match press conference, Su Yang was asked how he viewed the Grizzlies' transformation, and he said it was an interesting attempt against his conscience.
After a three-day break, the Thunder team flew to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks after the coaching change.
In the first quarter of the game, Durant beat veteran Devin George in various ways, scoring 6 points on 6 of 14 shots.
But on the Mavericks side, Nowitzki also made 5 of 4 shots, and Jeff Green couldn't prevent it at all.
In the second quarter of the game, Durant maintained super high efficiency, scoring 6 points on 4 of 10 shots and two free throws.
But on the Mavericks side, Nowitzki made 7 of 5 shots and two free throws. Green failed to prevent 2 fouls in a single quarter.
Coupled with Jason Terry's 6 of 4 three-pointers, the Mavericks took an 8-point lead at halftime.
During the halftime break, Su Yang encouraged Durant to stick to his shots in the second half and to adapt to this super giant confrontation.
Durant kept it in mind, and in the third quarter, he made 6 of 4 free throws and scored 11 points.
Who would have thought that Nowitzki made 11 of 6 shots and added three free throws, scoring 15 points in response.
Fortunately, Westbrook beat Kidd, with 8 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, helping the Thunder to bite the situation.
In the fourth quarter, Durant and Nowitzki became the key defensive targets. The other players of the two teams stood up to help. Westbrook and Green carried the Thunder's offense, Terry and Barea carried the Mavericks' offense, Looks like G7 in the playoffs.
And Jason Kidd, the player with the highest annual salary in the game, Hall of Fame point guard, and Dream 8 captain, only scored 1 points and 2 rebound in the 1 minutes of the two teams' multiple players fighting each other.
In the last minute of the game, the situation changed suddenly. Westbrook fouled Barea twice in a row.
One offense was faked, one defense was blown and blocked, and the Mavericks were given four free throws.
In the end, the Thunder lost to the Mavericks 109 to 113.
Su Yang stomped his feet angrily, angry that the challenge had not yet been awarded, and the referee could only admit that he was unlucky when he made a mistake.
At the post-match press conference, he bluntly said that rubbish penalties ruined a classic game. It is a pity that Nowitzki scored 41 points and Durant 39 points. It is even more regrettable that they contributed to the league's flopping trend and proposed the establishment of a penalty challenge mechanism.
That night, the Thunder team flew to San Antonio overnight to adjust the Spurs in back-to-back away games.
Because of physical strength, the Thunder trailed by as many as 20 points in the first quarter, but from the second quarter, Durant and Westbrook led the team to chase, and finally lost to the Spurs 107-109, resulting in Durant scoring 33 points. Westbrook scored 28 points.
With a two-game losing streak, the Thunder flew back to Oklahoma.
The next day, the NBA announced the results of the first round of voting for the All-Stars, and Durant ranked first among Western forwards.
At the same time, Su Yang received a notice from the league that he had to pay a fine of $25000 for criticizing the referee.
