Chapter 233 Return of the King of Los Angeles

After a day off, in the early morning of the 27th, the Clippers gathered at the base to watch the video of the second game.

Focus first on the team's 16 turnovers.Statistics show that Payton personally made 7 turnovers, while the Kings team only had 4 steals, but the Kings team had 29 fouls, of which Bunch Wells was sent off for 6 fouls.

"Obviously, we didn't match the aggressiveness of the Kings defense, they didn't accept what most of the media said was a 4-0 sweep by us, they played tough, they wanted to win, and we kind of didn't care.

Especially Gary Payton, 7 turnovers, are you kidding me?If the opponent is the Lakers with more firepower..."

Su Yang pointed out without hesitation that Payton played too softly and didn't save face for the meritorious veteran. Anyway, he needs to pay attention to it, and the atmosphere of "it doesn't matter for one round, we will definitely win" must not be allowed to spread in the team, which must be extinguished In flame state.

During the conversation, they compared the video to analyze why Payton made a mistake. The rookies such as Azubuike and Will Bynum were too scared to take a big breath, and the veterans such as Varejao also looked dignified. Yes, not just wiped it off laughingly.

"My fault!"

Payton did not deny it, and readily admitted that he played poorly, "I assure you, I assure you and everyone, I will not make the same mistake again, I will handle every offense well, my goal is to achieve Two consecutive championships, and three consecutive championships!"

The voice fell, Su Yang was noncommittal, and then pointed out that Milicic and Varejao lacked enthusiasm, "The Kings grabbed 14 offensive rebounds in the game, of which Kevin Martin grabbed 5 offensive rebounds. This is the next game. What can't happen again in the middle of the game, we gave the Kings too many second chances, causing them to drag the game to the end, we have to change.

I know you're probably thinking that part of it is a lot of switching, going up against guards in the high post..."

The Clippers have performed a lot of defensive changes. Milicic and Varejao will often face the guards, resulting in a relatively empty interior, and then after the Kings hit the iron, the opponents can grab offensive rebounds, but that should also be the Kings big man, what? Kenny Thomas and Brad Miller grab offensive rebounds, not Kevin Martin and Bunch Wells grab offensive rebounds, in short, lack of enthusiasm.

After Su Yang finished speaking, Milicic and Varejao nodded in agreement, and the topic turned to free throw percentage.

"The King made 29 fouls, and we made 37 free throws, but we only made 26 times in total, and only 70% of the shots were unacceptable. Later, the whole team practiced free throws, especially Ray Allen, who actually made 12 of 7 free throws. It should be at that level…”

Su Yang didn't save face for anyone, and finally said that he was too impatient to handle the key shots, and he wanted to pretend to play a difficult mid-range shot. In fact, he could run more to find easier opportunities, and he shouldn't let his desire for performance overwhelm him. The idea of ​​winning games efficiently.

After the video conference was completed, targeted training began. Su Yang took the lead in running two rounds of tactics, and then made 107 free throws from 100 shots. The atmosphere of the team tightened.

Spoelstra nodded repeatedly, and said to Hornacek, "We've really entered the state of preparation for the playoffs..."

On the 28th of the next day, the Clippers flew to Sacramento for the third game against the Kings at Arco Arena.

The game started at 6 o'clock. Artest pulled Su Yang at the beginning, and Bunch Wells pushed Ray Allen unabashedly, but Su Yang was well equipped and shot around screens. 4 of 3 had no effect. Ray Allen also went 3 for [-], as if he hadn't encountered any interference.

Su Yang did not steal easily on the defensive end, but he stood up and blocked in time, which stunned Artest who tried to charge repeatedly, while Iguodala did not easily try to steal on the defensive end, but stuck to him like glue, making Bang It was very difficult for Chilwells to shoot.

After the first quarter, the Clippers took a strong 37-19 lead, and let the three main players of King Artest, Bunch Wells, and Mike Bibby play for 12 minutes, which was almost wasted, completely disrupting the rotation of Kings coach Adelman. Set the tone for subsequent games.

The second quarter started immediately, and Su Yang personally led the defense against Kevin Martin, who likes to make fouls, and defended to 7 of 1.

With Martin 7-for-1, the King's offense basically stagnated. At the end of the half, the Clippers led 67 to 41.

Returning to the locker room in midfield, Su Yang emphasized that the idea that the king is really weak cannot reappear, and he needs to continue to play seriously.

Payton and Ray Allen led the way in agreement.

The game started in the third quarter, and the Clippers completely destroyed the Kings 11-0, and Su Yang clocked in to get off work.

In the end, the Clippers defeated the Kings 119-98, led 3-0 in the first round of the playoffs, and got the match point.A total of 5 players in the team scored in double figures. Su Yang scored 27 points and 14 assists. He had no steals or blocks, but his defensive efficiency was as high as 89.

Participating in the press conference after the game, the reporter asked why the Clippers seemed to be playing hard. Su Yang replied: "Because we know it will be difficult to win the championship. We don't have many chances to make mistakes. We must play very hard. It's okay..."

Su Yang turned to the team bus and prepared to return to the hotel with his teammates.Emily, the team's eldest sister in charge of logistics, suddenly said: "I thought you had flown back to Los Angeles..." During the conversation, she mentioned Alba's birthday and suggested flying back to celebrate.

Iguodala, Ray Allen and the others nodded in agreement. Anyway, it’s only a 40-minute flight from Sacred City to Los Angeles. I rushed back tonight to celebrate Alba’s birthday, and flew back tomorrow morning. There will be no impact at all, and there will be a truce one day time.

"Before I came here, I celebrated her birthday..." Su Yang had already prepared for it. During the playoffs, he would not engage in privileges and be with the whole team. After thinking about it, he felt that he could set up a private jet so that he could leave as soon as he wanted. Save some time waiting for your flight.

With that said, the whole team nodded silently.

With such a boss, you must be self-disciplined. Everything must be prioritized to win the championship, and family life can be put first.

After a day off, the Clippers will fight the Kings again.

Faced with a situation that is very likely to be swept away, Kings coach Adelman emphasized before the game that he would shorten the rotation. When the game started, Bibby, Artest, and Bunch Wells really played for 12 minutes in the first quarter. , and used the home court advantage to carry out a lot of large-scale defenses, allowing Ray Allen to make 8 of 2 shots, successfully slowing down the Clippers' rhythm, and ending the first quarter with a 2-point lead.
At the start of the second quarter, Su Yang faced Bibby, who played consecutively, aggressively rushed two consecutive rounds and scored 4 points. In the next round, he was double-teamed by the king. Before he had time to open the situation, he met Artest and Hebang again. Chilwells appeared in two.

The Kings really have a 7-man rotation.

The game fell into a defensive battle.

The two teams came and went, until the last 49 seconds of the game, Su Yang broke through and was double-teamed, and Ray Allen made a three-pointer, but Millici grabbed the offensive rebound and handed it to Iguodala to pass to Su. Yang made a wide-open three-pointer and helped the Clippers lead 93-92. Su Yang followed up with a single-defense press, forcing Artest to step on the bottom line and make an out-of-bounds error.

The Clippers got the ball, and there are 27 seconds left in the game. Su Yang should not pause and carry it to the frontcourt to press the time. In the last 5 seconds, he broke through and encountered the three Kings. The ball was perfect, but Bunch Wells pushed Ray Allen away Complete the steal, the referee has not whistled.

Bunchwells then started to rush, three seconds to the basket in the frontcourt, jumped high to release the basket, and Su Yang chased and jumped.

bump!Pegboard hat.

The whistle sounded at the end of the game at the same time, and the score was fixed as the Clippers 93 to the Kings 92, and Su Yang completed the cap-chasing lore.The Clippers also swept the Kings 4-0 in the series and advanced to the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, waiting for the winner of the Lakers and Suns.

ESPN commented after the game that the Clippers' promotion was expected, but they didn't expect the Kings to have the power to fight. It can only be said that the Clippers' dominance declined because of the departure of high-quality substitutes such as Bobby Simmons and Marko Jaric. chain reaction.

Well-known Soviet fan Kevin Pelton said in the program: "Although the Clippers won 73 wins this season, they also won 70 wins last season, and their dominance was not as good as last season. They mainly can provide stable three-point output. Less, Bobby Simmons averaged 40% of his three-pointers per game last season, and Marko Jaric also averaged 37% of his three-pointers per game.

This season, other teams have strengthened, and it has become easier to defend the Clippers. Double teams and rotations are enough. After all, apart from Su Yang in the Clippers lineup, only Ray Allen's three-pointers are relatively stable. It must be said that the Clippers' upper limit has increased. But the lower limit is also lowered..."

The Clippers fly back to Los Angeles.

After resting for one night, Su Yang began to think about the plan of purchasing a private jet and customizing the aviation team. After sorting out the calculations with Irene, he found that the money in his hand was still not enough. The main plan was to spend a lot of money to buy Facebook. Better to spend too much.

"Google stock will appreciate sharply in the future. I don't plan to sell it for the time being. It depends on how the movie investment and variety show investment go..." The endorsement has been received in sevens and eighty-eight, and various small investments are still being released. Fortunately, the card The Daishan family's variety shows and movies are about to go online, and they can only make some quick money through those methods. The profits from YouTube will be used to expand the market, and Twitter will have to wait a few years.

"Why don't you record a video as a shopping guide, since you have nothing else to do when you're idle, and convert your fans into purchasing power," Irene suggested, "Your YouTube channel has reached a million followers, and a conversion rate of 2% is enough. Can earn once..."

"It's still worth it!" Su Yang resolutely refused. It is true that it is very profitable to bring food with you, but it is not worthwhile if it is not top-notch.

After all, it destroys the image.

"I'll come back and make movies!" Alba then suggested, "At least I can maintain various basic family expenses."

Hearing this, Su Yang hugged Alba quickly, thinking that Nima earned a billion dollars and should have enjoyed the life of a millionaire, but the goal he pursued was too high, and the money was still not enough to spend. Think about revitalizing chip manufacturing and high-tech industry, it is even more difficult.

Such an embarrassing situation made Alba want to make a movie to subsidize the family. Su Yang was really distressed and just wanted to hug her.

In the blink of an eye, it's night, pay attention to the first round of the game.

In the East, both the Pistons and the Heat are in a crushing situation, while the Cavaliers and Nets are playing more uncomfortable.

In the west, the Spurs have already led the Grizzlies 3-0, and the Mavericks have also led the Nuggets 3-0. The strength gap between the two groups is a bit big.

Su Yang deliberately watched the live broadcast of the game between the Lakers and the Suns, and found that Garnett was overwhelmed inside the Suns, and Kobe even ravaged the Suns' backcourt defense. Without Stoudemire and Lagabeer, the Suns basically had no resistance. point.

The Lakers finally swept the Suns to advance, and Buss Jr. shouted in an interview: "The real king of Los Angeles is back!"

　After watching the playoffs every day, it is estimated that the updates will be concentrated in the afternoon and evening.
