Chapter 283 The King of Tricks, Old Nelson
According to the schedule, the Clippers got three days to prepare, and Spoelstra first gave the team a day off.

Su Yang took advantage of his spare time to discuss the release of "Ghost Story" with his partner, 20th Century Fox executives. However, after watching the preliminary film, the Fox executives thought it had no distribution value at all. That's why he only spent [-] U.S. dollars, and he was willing to help Su Yang through the process because he was an old friend, but he didn't want to be named.

Su Yang was so angry that he asked Ivanka to set up META Group's own distribution company when he returned to the company. He didn't want to be large-scale, but only asked for help for every movie in the future. Create an industry.

Ivanka was busy with her own work, and Su Yang rushed to the base early the next morning to participate in the pre-match meeting to study and discuss how to deal with the Warriors.

Scouting director Wiesel made a report first, and mentioned that the main characteristics of the Warriors are rushing and rushing. There are no rebounders in the traditional sense, but they can grab the ninth offensive rebounds in the league, and then they have shooting shots and three-pointers. Ranked third in the league, there are also rumors. Even though the record is eighth in the West, the average assists per game is the fourth in the league, and the average of 9.1 steals per game is second in the league.

Generally speaking, there is no inside talent, and there is no sticking to the tactical system. Whoever is suitable will attack, and the upper limit is high and the low limit is low.

"They won 21 of the last 17 games, which can be said to be the result of the running-in of Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington, so they are not really the eighth in the Western Conference. Our scouting department believes that the true strength of the Warriors Close to the Jazz and Rockets, we'd better be able to suppress the momentum in the first game and completely break their fighting spirit."

After Wiesel finished speaking, assistant coach Hornacek took over: "We finished the game with the Warriors, and Don Nelson praised Su Yang for being unable to defend on the surface. The motivation is very good."

Varejao and others were a little surprised when they heard the words, and lamented that old Nelson actually played psychological warfare. No wonder he said that no matter what strategy he used to prevent Su Yang, then the Warriors had a record of 17 wins and 4 losses. A means of motivating.

Su Yang nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "You may not know that Don Nelson personally wrote an article in the "Bay Area Daily", saying that the Warriors cannot win in the playoffs, that the Warriors will be swept by us, and that they are already paying attention to the draft. ..."

Old Nelson, as a mad scientist, is not only good at tactical design, but also excellent at manipulating the mentality of the players. He probably knows the core of Stephen Jackson and Baron Davis, as well as Monta Ellis and Pietrus. He can't listen when he speaks well, so he just came up with a provocative method, and as someone who has experienced it, Su Yang knew that it was very useful, and it really aroused the fighting spirit of the Warriors.

But the Clippers are not the Mavericks who were hacked. The Clippers have no technical shortcomings, no defensive loopholes, and nothing to be exploited.

In the face of absolute strength, old Nelson's tricks are in vain, and he will lead the team to a big victory over the Warriors in the first game.

The discussion is over, the strategy is determined, and the training begins.

There is nothing to focus on on the offensive end. The main thing is to lose less offensive rebounds on the defensive end and limit the Warriors’ quick counterattacks. If you want to do that, try not to do a flanking attack on the line, squeeze to catch up when you encounter a screen, or even give up the offensive rebound to quickly return. Defend.

Between training sessions, ESPN and other media also made predictions for the first-round match between the Clippers and the Warriors. All 13 commentators supported the Clippers' advancement, of which 12 commentators thought it would be a 4-0 sweep, and 1 commentator thought the Warriors could. Steal a game.

After the Clippers training, Su Yang was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines. He talked about how the media agreed that the Clippers would advance easily. He said calmly: "The Warriors are much stronger than the media expected. He won 21 of the last 17 games. They won [-] of their last [-] games. Not the eighth strength in the Western Conference, Stephen Jackson and Baron Davis' style of play has become more ferocious in Coach Don Nelson's system.

But they were unlucky when they met us in the first round. We are a little better than them in all aspects and will beat them. "

The interview was soon reported.

Fans feel that Su Yang is already a veteran, and his words are not as arrogant as before. In the past, they would probably say: The Golden State Warriors are very strong, but they are unlucky to meet us in the first round. We will sweep them 4-0. I am already thinking about it. Opponents in the second round.

On the 21st of the next day, the Clippers played against the Warriors in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs at the Los Angeles YouTube Center.

It coincided with the start of the second part of "Iron Man". Downey Jr., Anne Hathaway, Terrence Howard, and Jeff Bridges came to the YouTube Center to support Su Yang. His old friend Jimmy Foxx was also in charge. Lead the national anthem.

When the singing ended, the lights were turned on.

Su Yang walked to the technical stage, shook hands with Stephen Jackson and Nelson, and stepped into the arena.

The other starters of the two teams followed closely and stood around the middle circle. Point guard Su Yang faced Davis, shooting guard Ray Allen faced Jason Richardson, small forward Iguodala faced Pietrus, power forward Jackson vs. Millsap, center Biedrins vs. Milicic.

The announcer yelled for the jump ball, and the referee tossed the ball up. Milicic jumped up and flicked back first.

Su Yang picked up the basketball in the backcourt, listened to the cheers from the crowd, brought it to the top of the frontcourt, skillfully used Milicic's cover to break through to the right, saw that Biedrins came up to double-team, continued to rush without slowing down, and suddenly raised his hand The ball was passed, and Milicic leaped high to catch it.

The basketball slammed into the net, and the Clippers scored two points first.

There was applause in the arena, and the two teams switched offense and defense. Old Nelson signaled to speed up, but Biedrins hadn't sent the ball yet. Su Yang was already personally preparing to lead the defense against Davis, just like defending Wade in the finals. Swinging in small steps, extreme suppression.

Anyway, try not to give the Warriors a chance to play fast.

Biedrins saw that Davis's chance was wrong, and hurriedly passed the ball to Pietrus, who ran back to the backcourt to respond, and Pietrus faced Ray Allen's defense, and hurriedly divided the ball again, and received the pass. Stephen Jackson carried Iguodala on his back and moved forward. He almost missed the center line for eight seconds, and finally got a little space. The right wing made an emergency stop to chase for a three-pointer, and the basketball rebounded with a clatter.

Millsap and Richardson scrambled for the rebound, but unexpectedly failed to hold it firmly, the basketball rolled out of the baseline, and the referee whistled for the frontcourt ball.

"DANM!" Millsap clapped his hands angrily, thinking that he didn't perform well in the first round with such a precious starting opportunity.Seeing this, Su Yang stepped forward to give high-five encouragement, and reminded: "Don't forget the scout report analysis, they are very strong in offensive rebounding."

Millsap nodded and settled down to defend.

The Warriors kicked off from the left sideline, and the BOX formation fell into position. The bearded Davis used the cover to lift the ball up and took it to the top of the arc. , while Su Yang calmly went around the cover to intercept.

The pre-game plan was to try to squeeze through the screen to catch up, but Davis only made 30% of his three-pointers this season, which can be bypassed.

Davis pulled the ball back simultaneously, with 18 seconds left on the offensive clock, and made a quick three-pointer. The Warriors were full of features.

when!The basketball rebounded by smashing the basket and hitting the iron.

Millsap jumped high to get the rebound, landed and turned around and threw it to Su Yang. The Clippers launched a fast break counterattack.

Su Yang rushed to the left wing of the frontcourt at [-] seconds and raised his hand to pass to Ray Allen, who was following up. Ray Allen tacitly failed to catch the ball, but went down to cover. Milicic took the opportunity to catch the ball.Su Yang immediately rushed up and made a gesture to pass his hands to cover, and then suddenly stopped and ran back to the basket. Davis, who was in charge of defense, was too slow to move laterally, and Ray Allen, who had previously cut into the inside line, simultaneously Through the paint area, with the double screen of Iguodala and Millsap, get rid of Richardson's pursuit, and quickly rush to the right wing.

The Clippers immediately had the most obvious offensive opportunity for Su Yang to attack the basket, and the second obvious offensive opportunity for Ray Allen to catch a three-pointer.

The Warriors naturally noticed Su Yang, who was closer to the basket and higher in the team's low post. Stephen Jackson on the right quickly shrunk to defend, leaving Pietrus and Richardson alone, and facing Iguodala on the right , Ray Allen and Millsap.

The Warriors defended two and three, and the Clippers easily got a big open.

Milicic made a back pass angrily, and Ray Allen caught the ball and took off quickly and took a long shot, hitting the net with a three-pointer.

Cheers resounded through the center of the tubing.

Seeing this, old Nelson blinked repeatedly and held back his desire to sigh. He thought that the Clippers have Su Yang who is super invincible, and they are willing to run off-ball tactics without obvious data. I really don’t know how to defend. There is no mistake at all. Can be forced to create loopholes.

The offensive and defensive transition on the field, Davis dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, used the cover of Biedrins to break through to the right, rushed to the free throw line and failed to get rid of Su Yang, changed hands behind his back, and then used the cover of Biedrins to go Breaking through from the left, he was able to reach the 45-degree three-point line, but still failed to get rid of Su Yang. Then he stopped the ball and turned around, and threw it vigorously to Stephen Jackson who ran over to meet him on the right, gasping for relief.

Jackson took the ball to face Millsap, and also called Biedrins to cover. With the advantages of small speed and screen, he easily rushed to the right waist. Assigned to the empty cut Biedrins.

Su Yang saw it, and shrank to the paint area simultaneously, relying on the advantages of speed and low center of gravity, to snatch the basketball first.

Biedrins wanted a tactical foul in a hurry, but he stretched out his hand too slowly and didn't pull it down. Su Yang rushed to the front court to make free throws like a loose four-wheel drive car, ignoring Jackson on the left and Davis on the right to catch up, and then Take a step and leap forward to split the buckle.

Boom!The basketball went into the net, 7 to 0.

YouTube Center cheers.On the live broadcast, Van Gundy Jr. complained: "I bet the Warriors didn't study Su Yang's defensive video carefully, just like this kind of steal from the weak side against the strong side pick-and-roll hit the ball just now, Su Yang started from his high school days It's been done many times. Of course, Stephen Jackson is not a traditional point guard, and I didn't expect that to be considered normal..."

Before the words fell, the Warriors in the field rushed to make a fast break. Davis took the ball from the right sideline of the backcourt to face Su Yang, and hurriedly raised his hand for a long pass. The basketball seemed to fly straight to the left sideline, as if to Passed to Jackson, who was down, but flew straight out of the touchline.

The referee blew the whistle and gave the Clippers the right to the ball in the backcourt. The big screen in the center showed the old Nelson who came to the sidelines. kill.

Offensive and defensive transition, Su Yang advances with the ball, raises his hand at the center line to make a tactic, then rushes to the emptied right wing, takes advantage of Milicic's cover, pulls the ball falsely to the right sideline, and actually pushes the ball to the top of the arc, easily Get rid of Davis and rush to the middle of the free throw line, attracting the attention of the Warriors team, suddenly raised his hand and passed the ball to Ray Allen, who ran to the right wing with the help of Milicic.

Richardson flew to interfere, but unfortunately it didn't have any impact. The three-pointer flew over his head and went into the net hollowly.

The Clippers started 10-0, Nelson stood up to signal a timeout, the referee blew to stop the game, and cheers erupted.

Su Yang and Ray Allen high-fived and returned to the bench with a smile.On the Warriors' side, Old Nelson yelled at Davis and Jackson who were back on the bench: "You are all softies! You dare not fight, you hesitate like middle school students..."
