You'd better wrap me

Chapter 264

On the early morning of the [-]nd, the Clippers set off to Phoenix for an away game against the Suns after Stoudemire returned from injury.

The game started at 206 p.m., and Stoudemire was assigned to play off the bench. The Suns' starting center was Kurt Thomas, who was 7.8 tall. He was exchanged from the Knicks last year using Quentin Richardson and Nate Robinson. Supporting the inside defense, but he averaged 0.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and [-] blocks per game last season, which is not as flexible as Fatty Dior and Marion.

You can't blame him entirely, after all, there are too many colanders in the Suns' guard line, and even if he is Duncan, he doesn't have Bowen's buffer.

The Clippers won the jump ball and launched the first attack. Su Yang directly passed the inside line, allowing the 213-foot-tall Milicic to eat Thomas alone.

The result is a steady score.

The local Phoenix commentator on the sidelines lamented: "Su Yang's pass is too good. Generally, he wants to give the ball to the big center inside. The low-end ones let the big centers block themselves hard, such as Ewing, and the high-end ones give the cover first. Misleading, for example, the Spurs let Duncan cover other players first, or the triangle offense first opened up the space, but Su Yang can accurately hang the ball to the inside at the top of the arc.

This operation not only saves Milicic from consuming energy to get stuck, but also speeds up the offensive rhythm and weakens the double-team. "

Turn around and the sun advances to attack, speeding up and grabbing the rhythm as usual.

The Clippers don’t care about anything, switching defenses without thinking and slowing down the rhythm. Varejao and Milicic also participated in the attack on the line, just like Garnett incarnate, not worried about missing defensive rebounds inside, and the Suns couldn’t hit the inside for a while. It's really two points long.

The basketball bounced back and hit the iron, but Su Yang rushed to the basket the moment Nash made the shot.

At the same time, it was the Suns who risked Marion grabbing the rebounds, but Su Yang got the defensive rebounds steadily.

The Clippers then launched a counterattack, Su Yang made a breakthrough, but in fact gave the ball to the inside again, and Milicic took the ball from the left waist to meet Dior, who had changed defenses indiscriminately. Clever scored two points again.

Milicic turned back to defend, beating his chest in the air.

Su Yang nodded in response, thinking that this is more opportunities for Milicic to show off, but it must be done according to the team's plan, not as Milicic's agent Mark Kostern threatened to apply for a trade, otherwise the entire team It's all messed up.

In the blink of an eye, there were 3 minutes left in the first quarter.

After taking a break, Su Yang naturally sat next to Tucker and asked with a smile on purpose, "How many rebounds have I grabbed now?"

Tucker heard the words and thought that the team boss would ask a question, so he quickly checked the scoreboard, "Two offensive rebounds, two defensive rebounds."

"Aren't you great? I learned from you."

Tucker hesitated for two seconds, blinked quickly to make sure he heard it right, and asked cautiously: ""Learned from me? "

"Yeah! In order to better help you rookies, I have watched your summer league video. I found that your rebounding awareness is very sharp. I have studied it carefully and learned a lot. You must continue to maintain this point and be confident. operate…"

Tucker is 198 tall and averages two offensive rebounds per game at the peak level. The main thing is to rely on anticipation to rush to the basket in advance. To achieve such anticipation, you need to know the offensive habits of your teammates and know what your teammates are doing very well. Just shoot.

As long as he doesn't encounter a player like Hayes whose shots are completely unpredictable, Tucker can rush to the basket ahead of time.

The same goes for defense, confirming the opponent's offensive habits.

It is also necessary to confirm that rushing to the basket in advance will not hinder the team's offense and defense. Anyway, it is not a brainless rush to the basket in advance to wait, otherwise either the offensive end will become a burden, or the defensive end will become obsessed with rebounds Westbrook, easy to give for nothing.

"OK!"

Tucker nodded excitedly. He was worried that too many predictions would be criticized by Su Yang and the boss, but now he can let go.

The game continued on the court. Nash grabbed Barea, who made his NBA debut, and beat him up. The Clippers' lead was quickly tied.

Barea himself was so scared that his face turned pale. Su Yang took the lead in waving a towel on the sidelines to give encouragement. It doesn't matter if the rookie makes a mistake.

After a break until the second quarter, Su Yang led the team again. According to the plan discussed with Spoelstra before, the focus was to launch an offense around the inside, and then considering the technical characteristics of Millsap and Kaman, a large number of triangle offenses were executed to open up space for the Baskets for two people.

Score into applause and cheers, strike iron to cheer and comfort.

Fortunately, Stoudemire Stoudemire, who has returned from injury, does not defend at all, standing like a wooden man, and another insider of the Suns is James Jones, a vegetarian who advocates vegetarianism. His defensive DBPM is -0.7, which is basically equal to nothing. Millsap and Kamanhua breakthrough.

Su Yang mainly focused on the defensive end. He grabbed offensive rebounds and played them back. He didn't think about scoring at all, and his assists soared. He quickly helped the Clippers regain a 15+ lead. On the way back to the locker room at halftime , told Barea in a joking tone: "You can play at ease, don't worry about losing points, now I want you rookies to practice more, you are needed for a long season."

Barea nodded solemnly.

The second half of the game followed closely.

Su Yang switched to the small forward position, and handed over ball control and simple organizational tasks to Iguodala. Anyway, Iguodala knows a little bit, so he should practice more and prepare in advance for meeting the Lakers again in the playoffs. I am targeted and need another ball holder.

After playing, he found that his personal data had already reached 21 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds. Su Yang took the initiative to apply for a rest, and forced to make time for PJ Tucker, so as to avoid Tucker having no time because Grant Hill was the main substitute for the small forward. .

Tucker appeared on the stage excitedly. Although he hadn't played against the main force much, his tactical moves were very slippery. He devoted himself to covering and defending, but he didn't become a breakthrough. to avoid.

Ray Allen also gave up part of his time to Matt Barnes. Anyway, the score was not close, so he sat with Su Yang.

I thought I could lie down and win, but Nash led the Suns very fiercely, narrowing the point difference abruptly and chasing them. Su Yang and Ray Allen made their debut again, holding the ball to find cover and rushing to the basket, and then jointly locked the Suns backcourt, a wave of 11 Than 4, completely established the victory.

At the end of the game, the Clippers beat the Suns 122 to 114, and the team scored in double figures with eight players, which is quite a team.

Going back to the analysis in the locker room, the main win was 24 offensive rebounds, and the second offense scored as high as 32 points, while Su Yang personally grabbed 6 offensive rebounds, Milicic and others grabbed 18 offensive rebounds in total, and the Suns got a point inside. Nothing.

Participated in the press conference after the game, and talked about winning two consecutive triple-doubles, whether he intends to hit Oscar Robertson’s record for averaging triple-doubles in the season, after all, he was only 0.3 rebounds away from averaging triple-doubles last season, Su Yang joked Said: "Yes, I have the intention of hitting a triple-double per game. I will steal the defensive rebounds of Milicic and Varejao. I want to collect statistics..."

Anyway, sooner or later someone will attack like that, why don't you come first and block the space for black fans to play, arrogance.

After the press conference, the whole team flew back to Los Angeles overnight, rested for a morning, and faced the Nuggets back to back.

The Nuggets used the unnamed veteran Howard Ellis in the offseason, plus two second-rounders in 07, and traded from the Bulls for JR Smith, who is good at disrupting battles. Replace, out of place.

The game started at 2.4 o'clock. According to the previously determined rules, the two veteran players, Hill and Ray Allen, had a truce. Su Yang led Barnes and Tucker to play more. There was a gap between the overall lineup and the Nuggets, and physical strength was also affected. They led alternately in scoring. until the last [-] seconds.

The Clippers trailed the Nuggets by 95 point 96 to 1. Spoelstra requested a 20-second timeout, and Su Yang drew the tactics himself.

Back from the timeout, Varejao stood out of bounds, Su Yang and Iguodala stood still under the basket, and when the referee whistled the timing, Su Yang immediately started and rushed to the right 45 degrees, and the oncoming Matt Barn Adams makes a cross screen, and Iguodala runs to the top of the key.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yang rushed to the right 45 degrees with the help of a cross screen. Barnes turned around and rushed to the bottom corner on the right to draw space and attract defensive attention. Defensive attention.

The opportunity has appeared, but Anthony's pursuit is very tight, even if the chance to catch the ball is poor, Su Yang decisively turns and rushes to the top of the arc, first uses an oncoming Iguodala cross screen to get rid of JR Smith, and then borrows Milley at the top of the arc to get rid of JR Smith. Cicci covered and got rid of Anthony who was trying to switch defenses, rushed to the left wing position, received a long pass from Varejao, and flew in front of Anthony for a three-pointer.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

The whistle sounded at the end of the game at the same time.

Su Yang beat the Nuggets at the buzzer, scoring a large triple-double with 41 points, 15 assists and 16 rebounds, with only one turnover.

TNT commentator Steve Kerr commented: "The large triple-double is very strong, but it is far from reflecting the influence of Su Yang in this game. Minutes, lots of off-ball screens to help teammates."

All the major basketball forums simultaneously praised Su Yang: In the first three games of the season, he averaged a triple-double and won three consecutive victories at the buzzer. The performance of others is not worthy of competing for the MVP. Leading the team to a three-game losing streak at the start of the game is incomparable.

The Clippers took a rest and played against the Suns at home. The same strategy won. Su Yang scored 21 points, 18 assists and 12 rebounds.

Immediately afterwards, he led the team to a 112-89 victory over the Blazers, and strongly dunked the new champion Oden, and it was still three times.

After five games, the first MVP ranking of the new season was released. Su Yang ranked first, far surpassing Kobe who was second.
