Chapter 129 I Will Do What Nash Can't Do

At [-] o'clock in the morning on the [-]th, Su Yang rushed to the Clippers training base, and first discussed the style of play with Spoelstra and other coaches.

The scouting report was then presented. In addition to the conventional tactics and player data, it mainly mentioned that the main players of the Timberwolves are aging, and they just fought against the Suns last night. The Clippers game at night is a back-to-back away game, and there will be a great lack of physical strength. .

Su Yang took a closer look and found that among the main players of the Timberwolves, "Alien" Cassel was 69 years old and 35 years old, and "Madman" Sprewell was 70 years old and 34 years old, who were younger than Garnett. Overview of offense and defense, ranking first in the team in various statistics.

But with such old arms and legs, he insisted on defeating the Suns, who had a record of 13 wins and 2 losses since the new season, and the fast break was so strong that it exploded. The main reason was that Garnett grabbed 11 offensive rebounds. Grabbed 22 offensive rebounds.

That's awesome!

Judging from the data, Garnett felt a little bit whatever he wanted in the face of the undersized Suns. He scored 25 points on 11 of 23 shots and sent 8 assists and 3 steals. 8 turnovers.

In comparison, the Timberwolves played against a super bad team in the previous game, and the Warriors with a record of 3 wins and 11 losses since the start of the game. Garnett faced up to Troy Murphy, who was also 211 centimeters tall, and "uncle" who was 208 centimeters tall. 'Clifford only had 3 offensive rebounds and 17 points, and it was only a small victory in the case of playing up to 42 minutes.

The Timberwolves are a typical "difficult to win, easy to lose", and their offensive performance is relatively poor. Although the theoretical offensive score in 100 rounds is as high as 16th, the actual scoring average is only No. [-] in the league, mainly relying on hard defense to win.

"We need to do a good job of protecting the rebounds in the backcourt and maintaining continuous pressure on Cassel. His personal style looks old and slow, but he has rich experience and has a high efficiency in the past two seasons. Szebia Ke's three-point shot is very threatening. When encountering a screen, the delay needs to be prioritized. In addition, Sprewell's three-point shot needs the first time..."

Spoelstra laid out strategies one by one, and everyone on the coaching staff listened with a slightly serious expression.The Timberwolves are really strong. Last year, they scored the first in the regular season and entered the Western Conference finals. Since the new season, they have 11 wins and 4 losses. The lineup is full of good players. This player must work harder on defense, and that player must also work harder on defense. I haven't even mentioned Absolute Garnett, but Su Yang and Iguodala are in short supply.

According to the off-season championship odds prediction, the Timberwolves are only ranked behind the Pistons, Spurs, Heat and Pacers, and the Lakers in the West disintegrate. Many commentators believe that as long as there is no accident, the Western Conference Finals will be the Timberwolves against the Spurs, and the record has successfully matched.

Su Yang looked at the crowd with a slightly serious expression, and when Si Bo finished speaking, he immediately raised his hand as a signal, and then said:
"From the statistical point of view, the Timberwolves' offensive rhythm is slow, averaging only 80 shots per game. Even if we invest huge defensive resources, the actual income is low. Considering that they are back-to-back games tonight, there are more veteran players. It is recommended to learn from the Suns to play fast break, and take advantage of their lack of physical strength to speed up and grab the rhythm. The lineup is one big and four small. Don’t worry about fouls when the center defends. Kaman, Varejao, and Wilcox can take turns playing. The main function is to screen in advance, abolishing Mark Madsen or Irvin Johnson of the Timberwolves, forcing Garnett to perform more defense changes and sweeps to improve efficiency.

In short, it is to crush the Timberwolves.

What the sun can't do, let's do it. "

After the voice fell, Spoelstra, the assistant coach, and the colleagues in the scouting department were all in a daze, and didn't answer the conversation immediately.

The Clippers have played with one big and four small lineups before, but they basically tried it in the fourth quarter. If they really want to play the whole game, it still feels a bit risky. The rebounds must not be snatched by the Timberwolves. The Suns lost 22 defensive rebounds Just happened last night.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Su Yang said with a smile: "The famous center Takenori Akagi said that he can control the game by controlling the rebounds, but times have changed, and super high offensive efficiency is king. It will be more beneficial!"

"I feel OK!"

Spoel nodded in agreement, "The team is in the run-in stage. It may be a good thing to try more, and the record allows it." During the conversation, I was still a little flustered, although the Clippers had the five swingmen imagined by Mr. Pat Riley. , but it is still a risky thing to play a full game with a big and four small lineup, especially when Garnett mentioned that he can support the high post and can pass the low post.

But it still needs to be tried, not to mention that the team has never had a real power forward, and all of them are a few center players.

Assistant coach Kim Hughes answered: "Then let's adjust the plan later and let the whole team practice more offense in advance."

The discussion then ended.

Su Yang left the office, rushed to the court for shooting training, and practiced some extra mid-range emergency stops. The main video report showed that Garnett liked to rely on his excellent mobility to delay the ball holder very much. If he wanted to get rid of it, he had to accelerate.

Iguodala and other teammates arrived one after another. After warming up, all the members went to the video center to watch the temporarily edited video of the Suns vs. Timberwolves, and then returned to the court to practice the attack in advance.Su Yang observed carefully for a while, and found that Kaman had adapted to his own or Jaric's rhythm compared to before, consciously preparing for an early cover, unlike the previous forced deceleration that hurt his shin.

After training in the morning, the whole team ate together at the base, chatting about the upcoming "Blade Runner 3" and the upcoming Christmas plans.Su Yang listened to it in his heart, and then informed his assistant, Aunt Mei Li, to prepare a gift, which must be arranged with a big gold watch.

After sleeping for a while until one o'clock in the afternoon, Su Yang returned to the court to continue shooting, and Iguodala and others congratulated.

Director of Player Personnel Olshey said excitedly: "The official results of the first round of NBA All-Star voting have just been announced. You got nearly 120 million votes, while your compatriot Yao Ming got 85 votes. You two ranked first and second in the Western Conference. Other players in the same position basically have no chance of overtaking, you will become the All-Star starter and rookie champion, just like Grant Hill!"

According to Olshey, Su Yang is ahead of Yao when he is out of gear, and Yao is ahead of other players in the east and west when he is out of gear.

After the words fell, everyone applauded and cheered. Grant Hill was particularly excited, and took the initiative to hug and celebrate with Su Yang.

Back then, Hill was also the rookie All-Star vote leader, and now witnessing his teammates achieve it with his own eyes, there is an indescribable joy.

"Thank you! Thank you for your support!"

Su Yang bowed slightly, and made up his mind to wait until the alliance was finally announced, and half the party thanked everyone.

The whole team rushed to the Staples Center instead to do warm-up training before the game. Su Yang learned from the staff that the latest MVP ranking was released, and he actually lost to Nash and ranked second. The third O'Neill is very close.

It shouldn't be true, his own data is overwhelmed by Nash, and the record of leading the Clippers is no worse than that of the Suns.

It can only be said that either the person in charge of the rankings is messing around, or they are too fancy about losing to the Suns before and losing in a head-to-head confrontation, resulting in a sharp drop in impression points, just like the Bulls DeRozan, playing super gods against ordinary teams, and playing against MVP competitors The team lost all.

That would feel bad.

I didn’t think too much about it. I happened to be playing against the Timberwolves one after another with the Suns, and they had the same offensive strategy. Doing things that Nash couldn’t do by himself should improve some impression points. Contest.

The training was finished in a blink of an eye, and the reporter was interviewed on the sidelines. The reporter said: "After the results of the first round of voting for the All-Stars came out, Timberwolves player Kevin Garnett believed that you and Yao Ming did have certain strengths, but the current votes ranked first and second. It’s because of the large number of Chinese fans, it’s unfair to other players, and it’s suggested that only one-third of the votes from Chinese fans can be counted, what do you think?”

Su Yang heard that he thought that the United Arab Emirates almost replaced Garnett as the starting power forward in the Eastern Conference, and said with a smile: "I don't think Garnett is worth ranking first in the Western Conference. He is worse than Duncan and Nowitzki. Too much, not even as good as Nuggets rookie Carmelo Anthony..." I wanted to face slander and ridicule, I never tried to be reasonable, just smear and ridicule and it was over.

　Ask for votes and hit the achievement of [-] votes.
