Chapter 94
The fans naturally didn't believe Su Yang's explanation.

But since it was only a preseason game, the fans were not too angry, they just felt that Su Yang had lost his aura of handsomeness.

The Thunder had a four-day break after the preseason. Su Yang first gave the players two days off before resuming training, and then caught Westbrook and the others to watch the video. Form brainwashing play.

When he did that, Westbrook and the others felt less bored, and even couldn't help laughing out loud.

But after laughing, Westbrook and the others also realized how outrageous their mistakes were, and practiced all kinds of spontaneously.

On the 29th, the Thunder will host the visiting Milwaukee Bucks in their new arena for the new season.

Although the original starting point guard Earl Watson has returned from injury, Su Yang still insisted on fulfilling his promise. Despite the dissuasion of the two assistant coaches Mark and Ralph, he arranged for Westbrook to be the starting point guard and directly faced Ridnour. .

In addition to insisting that Westbrook start, he also insisted not to take the initiative to command, sometimes pacing on the sidelines in a hurry.

As for the reckless and ignorant Westbrook, it is a bit difficult to organize the team's offense, and the active cooperation of others is not effective.

Coupled with the fact that the Bucks deliberately suppressed the rhythm, there were many embarrassing scenes in which the Thunder failed to score for several rounds in a row.

After the first quarter of the game, the Thunder only scored 14 points and scored only 4 goals in sports games.

威少表现极差,单节2失误2犯规0助攻,正面数据2分1篮板1抢断。

During the break between festivals, Su Yang didn't talk about any tactics, just let Westbrook calm down, so there is no need to feel nervous.

In the substitute stage, the team became Earl Watson's master, and Green was in the center as the axis support, and finally got back on track.

With a 15-point disadvantage, the whole team returned to the locker room, and Su Yang pointed out to Westbrook what needs to be improved in front of the video.

During the whole explanation process, Westbrook raised his head and remained silent, his eyes were full of stubbornness, and he could bear the pressure.

Su Yang saw it, knew that Westbrook could hold on, and continued to point out some low-level mistakes and inefficient choices.

He spoke softly the whole time, as if he was talking about an insignificant thing, but the more he said that, the more lethal it was.

To others, it seems that Westbrook can't play at all, and it's weird to be an NBA player.

As ruthless as Snyder, he also hinted several times not to speak too fiercely, and a group of team members were even more at a loss.

But after the explanation was over, Westbrook walked out of the locker room with his head held high, without even blinking.

Perhaps because of that, in the third quarter, Westbrook's performance tended to be normal, scoring 6 points and 3 assists.

It's a pity that the Thunder still entered the fourth quarter with a 20-point disadvantage. Westbrook scored 12 points and failed to reverse.

In the end, the Thunder lost to the Bucks 87 to 98 and suffered their first defeat of the new season.

In the whole game, Westbrook scored 22 points and 5 assists. His performance was quite eye-catching and he lived up to the fourth pick.

On the contrary, Durant scored 14 of 5, made 4 fouls and made 4 turnovers.

Green also performed mediocrely. He failed to restrain Villanueva at the same position. He missed several three-pointers. He scored 9 points, 2 assists and 4 rebounds. He lost [-] turnovers and [-] fouls. He was positioned as a power forward. The shortcomings are exposed.

At the post-match press conference, Su Yang praised Westbrook for being able to withstand the pressure and achieve great things.

As for Durant's performance deviation, I didn't take it to heart at all, and I am sure Durant can adjust himself.

While Green's performance is mediocre, it will take time to continue practicing until he and other players have all improved firepower.

After two days of rest, on November [-]st, the Thunder team rushed to Houston to challenge the Rockets away.

The situation of the game was almost the same as the preseason game. The Rockets moderately put the outside line to the inside line. Westbrook, Wilkins, and Kyle were unable to provide punishment in the backcourt. Collison, Jordan Jr., and Petrol were wantonly Bully.

The only player in the Thunder that performed normally was Durant, who almost ignored Artest's defense. He made 20 of 11 shots and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. The Thunder team only scored 77 points, accounting for more than 3%.

Westbrook only made 12 of 3 shots, relying on a mid-range shot from an emergency stop to score, and was unable to perform under the Rockets' slow-down defense.

Because Green is facing Scola, he doesn't suffer too much in terms of height and weight, but the whole team is not strong enough. He scored 9 points, 10 assists and 2 rebounds in 6 shots, and his mediocre performance made Su Yang doubt whether he was positioned mistake.

But the loss is the loss, and the Thunder team's running tactical ability has improved again, but it's just a lot of shooting.

Su Yang accepted an interview alone after the game, saying that the Thunder now want to have a child who is not yet born, who is growing and improving every day, and will soon surprise the fans and the media, but it is still just a child and will not be too stable.

With a two-game losing streak, the Thunder team went to Salt Lake City to adjust the Jazz after a day off.

I don’t know why, but the Jazz started the game with the strongest defense. In the first quarter, the Thunder team made 20 of 4 shots. In the second quarter, they defended the Thunder with 18 of 4 shots. The Thunder only scored 29 points in the half game. And trailed by 29 points.

Returning to the locker room at the halftime break, the atmosphere of the whole team was like stagnant water for a hundred years, with all kinds of sulking.

Seeing the situation, Su Yang smiled and said: "Don't think that this is a particularly difficult moment. The regular season is only 29 points behind at halftime. On the way to chasing the championship and becoming a great player, you will still experience the playoffs. Being lore, leading by a big lead in the playoffs and being overturned, only one step away from the championship trophy, now is playing."

Perhaps that speech played an encouraging role. In the third quarter, the Thunder team scored 34 points, and through defense, the Jazz only scored 20 points. In the fourth quarter, they also scored 34 points. lose.

In the whole game, Durant made 7 of 3 shots in the first half and 8 of 6 shots in the second half, forcing 50% shooting.

而威少上半场5投0中,下半场9投6中,也保住40%的命中率。

Green made 4 of 4 three-pointers in the second half, scoring 22 points efficiently and stealing Boozer three times.

With such a performance, even though they lost, the whole team was wiped out because they fell behind by 29 points at halftime, and their confidence greatly increased.

In the last game of the three-game streak, the Thunder rushed to Minnesota to challenge the Timberwolves back to back.

It may be because of the defeat in the first three games that he finally got through the two lines of Ren and Du, and Westbrook's organizational ability has improved significantly.

Green also sent a lot of assists through high-post support. The team scored in double figures with a total of five players. The Timberwolves have been playing inextricably. However, due to physical limitations, Durant and Green finally missed one after another. It is a pity that they lost with a 3-point disadvantage. .

The four-game losing streak at the start of the game and the performance of the players were not good. Su Yang's remarks at the press conference quickly became the material for ridicule by fans and the media. Even some Thunder fans believed that Su Yang had stolen McMillan's achievements before.

Considering that the Thunder's next opponent is the defending champion Celtics, many fans firmly believe that the Thunder will usher in a five-game losing streak. Two gaming companies even set up bets at the opening of the market, using Su Yang's dismissal as a gimmick to attract traffic. .

Several well-known ESPN commentators, as well as TNT celebrities, accused Su Yang of not directing on the sidelines, letting the players fumble for almost every attack, resulting in a waste of many simple scoring opportunities, forcibly imitating the Zen master Phil Jackson, pretending to be the worst of.

Su Yang ignored the comments from the outside world, and did not feel discouraged. Instead, on the plane flying back to Oklahoma, he excitedly told the Thunder generals: "It's our turn to win. Our lineup and style of play are absolutely perfect. It's the Celtics nemesis..."
