You'd better wrap me

Chapter 169 My Power Forward Career

At the end of the grand opening ceremony, the lights around the stadium were turned on, and the cheers immediately rang through the Staples Center.

The long whistle sounded, and Su Yang walked quickly to the technical stage, gave high-fives to the Mavericks coach Avery Johnson, and then interacted with Dirk Nowitzki, Terry and others, jokingly said: " You look tired, are you ready?"

Nowitzki and the others shook their heads and laughed lightly, but they all avoided looking at Su Yang. They thought that the tiebreaker was less than 48 hours away, and there was really no rest after all kinds of post-match interviews and flights. Well, the key regular season game failed to beat the Clippers, so that even coach Avery, who has always been strict and known as the quintessence of NA, also said that this game is mainly training.

"Wish you guys good luck!"

Su Yang turned back to the Clippers bench, and greeted Downey Jr. and other stars on the way, ignoring the eyebrows of the two Kardashian sisters, and smiled at Scarlett Johansson, who had a forced smile on her face. Scarlett doesn't like basketball. This time I came to watch the game just to promote the upcoming new movie "Escape from Colon Island". After all, the Clippers playoffs are the hottest event in Los Angeles during this period. She also specially contacted Billy Crystal, a well-known Clippers fan, got a very sought-after courtside VIP seat.

"Can you write a film review for my movie?" Scarlett asked with her red lips lightly, her smile was like wild fire.

"Of course! Call me if you want to book another seat!"

Su Yang made a promise to Scarlett that he could not refuse, and without waiting for a reply, he went straight back to the bench, pulled Iguodala and other teammates together, repeatedly emphasized the main offensive and defensive strategies determined before the game, and finally raised his right hand to lead the team together. Shout out cheers.

The short whistle sounded on time.

The starting players of the two teams enter the field, the Mavericks side is the same, Terry, Finley, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, Dampier, and the Clippers side is slightly changed, point guard Payton, shooting guard Bob Simmons, small forward Maggette, center Varejao.

Su Yang temporarily served as power forward.

The roster and matchup were simultaneously updated on the big screen in the center. The fans didn't pay attention, but exclamations erupted from the live broadcast seats.

"I knew it, I knew it!"

Barkley shouted excitedly, "I knew that Su Yang would try to be the starting power forward one day. I can finally evaluate his skills in those areas. I think I still have a certain amount of speech in the field of power forwards." right."

Kenny laughed: "I want to know how he will defend Dirk Nowitzki. I heard that he has been gaining weight and has reached 91 kg. Although he has 28 physical tests of 84 kg bench press, Novitzki Tsky has a strong impact!"

Ernie chuckled: "It's starting, look carefully!"

On the court, the Clippers won the jump ball.

Cheers erupted at the same time, Su Yang easily walked two steps inside the left-wing three-point line to catch the ball. It is said that as a power forward, he needs to go a little deeper, but the consumption of fighting Nowitzki is too great, and there is really no need , Save it and defend later.

Seeing that Nowitzki didn't give any interference, he turned around and faced the three threats to the basket. He swayed his chest and swayed. Intercept, emergency stop, jump and hit the board.

Terry didn't respond, but Howard took off and tried to block the shot, but the pace was too slow, much slower than Su Yang's.

The basketball slammed into the net.

The Clippers scored two points first.

There were cheers in the arena, Su Yang turned around and retreated, thinking to block it, it's really giving you face, you haven't blocked Nash's breakthrough before, it seems that this game is not ready to lie down and admit defeat, let's see how you end up What other moves.

The two teams switched offense and defense.

The Mavericks' tactics were simple and rough. Nowitzki lifted up with the help of a screen, caught the ball from the free throw line and faced Su Yang sideways, and shook his hands high.Su Yang immediately approached to test the pressure, and at the same time raised his foot and got stuck between Nowitzki's legs, interfering with the change of direction.

For a while, Nowitzki had no chance to shoot, and the breakthrough start was still blocked, so he quickly retreated and lowered his center of gravity to gather strength.

Su Yang retreated back at the same time, also lowered his center of gravity, stood with his feet parallel to prevent breakthroughs, lowered his left hand to interfere with sweeping and shaking, and raised his right hand high to prevent dry pull-up shots. He didn't give the slightest chance to relax, and Nowitzki feinted Failed, the cross started and made a strong charge.

Switching to a general power forward defense, Nowitzki is extremely fast, but Su Yang slipped and chased, and even fell first.

There is no way, 198 cm naked height, fast as a guard, explosive as a small forward, and can not lose against ordinary power forwards.

Nowitzki rushed to the free throw line, knowing that he was hopeless, he hurriedly stopped pulling the ball and turned around, and then bumped into Su Yang, who was moving laterally. After completing the breakthrough, Su Yang was in front of him.

In a hurry, the basketball was thrown to the left wing, and Josh Howard caught it in his hands, facing Maggette's defense and rushing to shoot a three-pointer.

The basketball rebounded with a bang, Su Yang jumped high to get the rebound, landed and turned around to wipe out Nowitzki, who was trying to delay, dribbled the ball and accelerated, reached the top of the arc in three seconds, raised his hand and divided the right wing, and Payton Catch the ball as if to shoot, but actually pass it back.

Su Yang made an air cut to catch the ball, and jumped up to face the empty basket. It was like a big windmill swinging his arms and dunking.

Cheers resounded throughout the arena, Su Yang turned back to defend, thinking that the Mavericks' offensive tactics just now were too rough, just a simple cover, let Nowitzki go up to catch the ball, and he was as good as Durant Like McGrady, if you are really capable, use it casually.

After thinking about it, the Mavericks counterattacked.

Finley stopped the ball at 45 degrees on the left side and waited straight for Terry to come out with the help of a screen. He seemed worried that the Clippers would not be able to detect the Mavericks' tactical intentions, and finally tossed a circle until there were only 12 seconds of attack time left, and barely passed the ball. Pass to restricted Terry.

Su Yang followed Nowitzki in the left corner, and was stunned on the spot. He thought it was no wonder there would be a black eight tragedy. It took the Mavericks 12 seconds to complete the ball. The rhythm is slower than Harden's ball control. The key is to take the ball. Until the ball has no chance, it is tantamount to starting from scratch.

Just as he was feeling emotional, Terry sprinted with the ball, stopped at 45 degrees on the right side and shook Bobby Simmons, and made a long shot.

The basketball hits the hoop and hits the net.

"Cow!"

Su Yang sighed, knowing that Terry needs a lot of strength and mentality to score such a goal. Although Bobby Simmons' defense is so-so, where is the advantage of height and weight? Terry needs to create a lot of space to Take it easy.

While sighing, he strode to the right waist of the frontcourt, blocked with his back, received Payton's emergency stop, and immediately turned around and jumped into the paint area, facing Dampier, Nowitzki, Josh Howard The three of them gathered together and made a strong throw, and the basketball hit the basket and bounced into the net.

6 to 2, Su Yang scored 6 points in a row at the start.

The Mavericks immediately launched a counterattack, but it turned into a slow toss in the frontcourt. Terry insisted on using the stack cover to come out from the waist, and it took another 11 seconds. Space for yourself to play.

With previous experience, Simmons chose to take the initiative to retreat two steps to defend against breakthroughs, preparing to rely on his height to defend against shots.

Terry was restricted on the spot, hurriedly buried his head in the paint area, forced a jump pass, and miraculously caused a foul by Simmons.

The replay of the video showed that Simmons cut the ball with momentum but hit Terry's arm. It was indeed a foul, and there was nothing wrong with the whistle.

Simmons put his hands on his hips, shaking his head regretfully.

Seeing this, Su Yang stepped forward and patted his shoulder to comfort: "Your defense against Terry was actually very successful. Next time, remember not to risk cutting the ball if you are not sure. We are prepared to cut off his passing route. Remember to cooperate!" Many players There is a subconscious misunderstanding, that is, always thinking about blocking shots or stealing, and then paying the price of fouls. In fact, it is completely unnecessary, as long as it prevents the ball holder from being uncomfortable.

Probably the difference between Duncan and Camby.

Simmons nodded in understanding.

The Mavericks kicked off again, Terry asked Nowitzki to play a pick-and-roll, Su Yang directly switched defenses, and chased all the way to the bottom corner.Terry tossed for several seconds and couldn't break through, so he quickly passed the ball to Josh Howard who went around to the right wing with the help of Nowitzki's arc top cover.

There was not much time left for the second attack, Josh swayed in front of his body continuously, and suddenly pulled up a strong shot for two points.

The basketball hits the hoop and hits the net.

"Specialize in high-difficulty goals, right?" Su Yang complained in his heart. Usually, the most difficult emergency stop is two points long, and the Mavericks hit two consecutive goals, just like Kobe.Quickly took the basketball and moved forward, one-stop straight to the basket, and forced a throw.

Snapped!Dampier's big hat flew the ball off the field, and when it landed, he glared and roared at Su Yang, his excitement was beyond words.

There were exclamations in the arena, and many fans commented that Su Yang was rarely blocked, especially this kind of super high throw.

Su Yang didn't care, he organized the baseline ball tactics as usual, then used the cover to go around the right wing to catch the ball, took advantage of the situation to play a pick-and-roll with Varejao, broke through the top of the arc and entered the paint area, and passed the ball without looking at anyone. Varejao catches the ball and dunks in three steps.

The basketball went into the net, 8 to 4.

The Mavericks launched a fast-break counterattack without showing any weakness. Terry made some maneuvers, in and out, the rhythm change shook Payton, suddenly accelerated to the basket, and took off against Varejao's defense. Hit the board and the basketball bounces into the net.

"Huh? Terry still knows this?"

Su Yang didn't react for a while, and almost thought that Paul was showing off his operation, and the change of pace was too smooth.While complaining, he quickly rushed to the 45-degree three-point line on the right side of the frontcourt, and while Nowitzki was blocked by Maggette's back screen, he went straight to the right waist.

Josh Howard fought hard with all his strength and was completely unstoppable. He pushed his waist in a hurry, and the referee whistled for a foul.

Coach Avery on the sidelines showed his confusion.

Josh also spread his hands, thinking that he couldn't bear it, like a tiger, what can I do, I am also very desperate.

During the live broadcast, Barkley shouted that Su Yang is a beast who is good at hiding. He used to have too few post-up positions, making people think he was just a combo guard who occasionally played small forward. Forward, the post-up positioning skills are so good.

In-court play continues.

Su Yang stood at the bottom corner on the right side and let Payton organize his tactics. Then he took the basketball, turned to face the basket, and swayed past Nowitzki, who had already taken a step back to try to prevent a breakthrough, and suddenly charged To the basket, against Dampier who made up the defense.

boom!Head-on collision.

when!The basketball smashes into the net.

Beep!The referee blows his whistle.

Dampier received a blocking foul with an unbelievable expression on his face, while Su Yang received an extra penalty and the audience cheered.

Su Yang interacted with Payton and the others by high-five.In the live broadcast, Barkley chuckled: "Eric Dampier is probably doubting his basketball intuition formed over the years at this time. He thinks that he should successfully intercept, but he did not expect that Su Yang's rhythm and speed are so fast that he Intuition and muscle memory have failed, and hopefully he won't be affected and continue to be depressed."

There were bursts of MVP shouts in the arena, Su Yang steadily made additional free throws, and the Clippers led 11 to 6.

The two teams switched offense and defense.

The Mavericks shifted their hands at the top of the arc, Terry handed the ball to the right wing at the top of the arc, and ran to the left with the help of Nowitzki's up-lift cover, and Nowitzki received the ball and turned back to Terry, Dampier went up simultaneously Mentioning the wall on the left wing for cover, Terry took the opportunity to break through.

There is nothing wrong with the tactics, but Terry is not a typical point guard.

After some tossing, in the face of Varejao's delay in changing defenses, Terry was forced to throw the ball to the driver who moved forward to the right wing.

There were only 8 seconds left in the attack time, and Nowitzki didn't rush the ball. He pulled up against Su Yang and scored a three-pointer.

The basketball rebounded with a bang, and the two teams competed chaotically. Payton dribbled the ball and rushed, but was fouled by Dampier for cutting the ball.

The Clippers reorganized their offense and started with an A-shaped formation in the frontcourt.

Seeing that Payton arrived with the ball, Su Yang put up a screen to facilitate an early offense and let Payton grab one.

Unexpectedly, the Mavericks made a defensive communication error, Terry chose to bypass the screen to intercept, and Nowitzki squatted at the same time to prepare for the delay, so there was no drop coverage, no hedge, and no ice, Switch or Blitz.

Anyway, there are no routines, chaos prevention.

Su Yang quietly disassembled the outer ball and bounced to the top of the arc, received Payton's ball, looked up at the basket for a second, and made a steady three-pointer.

The basketball went into the net hollow, 14 to 6.

Cheers poured from all around the arena to the center of the court, Su Yang strode back, and suddenly thought: If we beat the Mavericks, will Cuban seriously consider signing with Avery Johnson?With this level of defensive system construction, the Mavericks don't even want to win the championship.Of course, Avery Johnson has only coached 18 regular season games and 7 playoff games, so it is normal not to have established an excellent defensive system.

The Mavericks launched an attack in a hurry, still shifting hands from strong to weak, Terry and Dampier played pick-and-roll on the wing, still unable to break through and rush to the basket, and still chose to split the ball to the right wing, but the receiver was replaced by Josh Howard, and the three-pointer became two. Points, but still clang.

Payton got the rebound and launched a counterattack. He suddenly raised his hand and made a long pass from the center line. Su Yang received the ball from the left wing of the frontcourt, took advantage of the situation, crossed and rushed, forcibly passed Nowitzki, and quickly rushed to the basket to meet Terry. Take off with Finley, pull the bar and hit the board.

The basketball slammed into the net, 16-6.

The referee's whistle sounded at the same time, Mavericks coach Avery got up and asked for a timeout, and bursts of cheers erupted in the arena.

In the TNT live broadcast, the host Ernie Johnson asked a little puzzled: "Why don't Nowitzki catch the ball in the low post and play singles, and Su Yang has such a big height advantage, why does Nowitzki always play at the top of the arc?" Or wing catch?"
