You'd better wrap me

Chapter 289 The Clown and the Gentleman

Seeing the basketball hit the net, seeing the referee signal the end of the game, and seeing the Spurs suffer a lore at the last moment, Popovich's blood pressure soared by 180mmHG in an instant, and he lay down and passed out. The team doctor accompanying the Spurs rushed to the rescue.

At the same time, Su Yang pulled Milicic and Ray Allen to stand up and high-fived with the excited Iguodala.

ESPN directly split the left and right sides to broadcast the Clippers celebration and the Spurs first aid. The picture comparison can be called heaven and hell.

The post-match interview was held immediately. Su Yang declined Iguodala’s request and said, “Tonight’s stage belongs to you!” He did dexterous steals and Tianxiu assists, but Iguodala had 26 points and 14 in the game. Rebounds and contributions are definitely on par.

During the interview, Su Yang led the fans to shout Iguodala's nickname IGGY in unison, paying attention to it. After all, the excellent performance of Iguodala and Ray Allen in the Clippers is often overwhelmed by his own brilliance. Cover up, the opportunity must be greatly praised.

Back in the locker room, after taking a shower and changing clothes, Su Yang attended the post-match excitement press conference with a cane. He said with a smile that he had 20 assists but only 15 points. The first assist was more than the score. : "I'm a point guard like Stockton."

Talking about the feelings of the final shot, he laughed again: "I regretted it a little at the time, thinking that I should overcome my physical instincts, endure the pain and forcefully take off, and try to jump higher, so that the shot will not be disturbed. Fortunately, Milicic The fight was very timely, the rebound accidentally fell into my hands, and more importantly, Iguodala and I were very understanding and made an empty cut at the first time."

The interview soon appeared in the reports. Fans lamented that Su Yang, as the boss, was able to make other players believe that they would get a pass when they rushed to the basket at critical moments. It was a very powerful leadership, and there was only 1.7 seconds left at the time. The choice of the two was also very good. calmly.

There are also many fans who feel sorry for the Spurs. After the tiebreaker with the Suns, they took the lead for a long time in three days and two games, and the result was a lore in the end. They did have the ability to beat the Clippers, but their luck was as bad as drinking cold water. to the teeth.

Fortunately, there will be a full four days of rest after the second game, the Spurs can fully adjust, and Su Yang can also recover from his foot injury.

Early the next morning, Su Yang rushed to the company to handle personnel affairs.Ivanka knocked on the door and entered the office at [-] o'clock according to the appointment to report, saying that with the promotion of Youtube and Twitter, as well as small-scale film review by film critics, [-] theaters in Santa Monica and Inglewood have already started The trial screening of "Ghost Story" for a week will continue to be postponed if the initial box office is okay.

At the end of the report, Ivanka volunteered to help Su Yang rub her feet, but after rubbing, she started to touch her feet, feeling passionate in the office.

After the war is over, feel free to watch the news.

In the West, the Mavericks and the Lakers tied 1-1. The two games played five overtimes. The players of both teams were exhausted. Dirk Nowitzki scored 48 points in one game and Kobe Bryant scored 51 points in one game. The Clippers are very similar to the Spurs, and the top four in the West are close in strength.

In the East, the old Pistons and the youth Bulls also tied 1-1, while the Cavaliers beat the Nets to take a 2-0 lead. LeBron scored 36 points and 12 assists in the second game, but except for the hardcore Cavaliers fans, basically No one talks about it.

LeBron's last game-winning goal let Su Yang lore steal away the heat, but this time the luxury data was absorbed by Iguodala again, as if he had no influence as the chosen son of the year , It's really a bit embarrassing.

After taking a nap in the afternoon, Su Yang listened to Lu Qi's business reports on the three branches in China, Japan, and the United Kingdom, and then discussed with Adam, the operation director of the Twitter branch, how to use the label function to further let users discover current events. Sandberg, director of book operations, held a meeting to formulate a precise advertising plan for the next quarter, with particular attention to privacy-related issues.

Early the next morning, Su Yang woke up, lying between Alba and Irene holding a laptop to work, and received an email from Ivanka, saying that the first-day box office sales of "Ghost Story" have been released, as high as 3134.66 million, far exceeding estimates.

The results were very good, and the major theaters are already planning to postpone it for at least a week. I hope that the company will cooperate to block some discussions about the ending of the movie to avoid lowering the box office.Su Yang resolutely refused, how could he mess with the company's main business for tens of millions of dollars.

Anyway, the main goal of "Ghost Story" is the company's hands-on training + the first self-produced and announced release, and making money is an incidental result.

After replying to the email, I got up and rushed to the Clippers training base to participate in the joint training. Considering the possibility of the Spurs home whistle, I practiced more shooting stability. Allen narrowly won by 100 goal.

After training the next afternoon, the whole team flew to San Antonio and rested for one night. On the morning of NO.12, they rushed to the ATT center to practice together. However, the lights in the ATT center were not turned on, and no one answered the call. Difference.

On the bus back to the hotel, Payton was so angry that he tweeted that the Spurs were a clown. He made one after another outside the game, followed by an excited speech, encouraging the whole team to use this teasing as an extra motivation, and exploded the hammer at night. The Spurs strive for a three-to-zero lead.

Su Yang took the lead in agreeing, and the whole team responded.

Fans left messages of support, and the Spurs officials gave a reply until the afternoon, saying that it was a power system failure, and I am very sorry.

Payton tweeted again that he would not accept the apology. Based on his years of experience in the league, he knew that the Spurs definitely did it on purpose.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the second round of the Western Conference playoffs between the Clippers and the Spurs in the third game started at the ATT Center.

The defense was full at the beginning, Su Yang was dragged by Bowen in various ways, Ray Allen also frequently interfered with Michael Finley, and the referee basically did not call fouls. Boat led the Spurs 24-22.

The situation in the second quarter remained the same. The referee continued to let the two teams fight on a large scale. The Spurs were 6 for 0 three-pointers by the Clippers' zone defense, and the Clippers were blocked by the Spurs' crazy shrinkage. , Up to 18 turnovers in a single quarter.

After halftime, the Clippers trailed the Spurs 40-45. Su Yang played the best, scoring 14 points and 6 assists.

Back from the halftime break, the whistleblowing scale is still very loose. The referee basically ignored all kinds of minor fouls. Fortunately, the Clippers had specially practiced shooting with a little wrist before, and finally found the touch. Su Yang and Ray Allen's three-pointer Hit, but the Spurs are still extremely inefficient, the Clippers took the opportunity to play a wave of 32 to 18 offensive, overtaking the Spurs by 9 points and entering the fourth quarter, with great momentum.

Faced with desperation, Popovich only allowed GDP to rest for 3 minutes before switching to the game, but Suyang Iguodala made his debut at the same time.

But in the end it was the Spurs' home court, and Milicic quickly fouled three times in a row, while Ray Allen was called an offensive foul for two three-pointers.The Spurs took the opportunity to chase wildly, but Su Yang skillfully suppressed the rhythm, and finally led the team to a 104-101 victory, leading Oita 3-0.

With three match points in hand, there is no suspense about the outcome of the series. Many commentators and fans praised Su Yang for winning the second game despite being injured. Stabilize the situation under the circumstances, the absolute super leader.

More reporters marveled at the Clippers' scoring stability. They scored 40 points in the first half and scored 64 points in the second half. They were full of confidence.

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

Compared with the first half of the third game, the referee called fouls crazily again. The Clippers trailed by 53 points 55 to 2 at halftime. In the second half, Su Yang fouled twice in a single quarter, and the game dragged At the last moment, it was a pity to lose to the Spurs by 3 points.

全场比赛，苏扬43分钟空砍26分18助攻3抢断2盖帽，当选败方MVP。

With a score of 3 to 1, the whole team flew to Los Angeles overnight.

Su Yang woke up in the afternoon, followed the plan to do theater promotion for "Ghost Story" with Anne Hathaway, and "ordered" not to wear high heels when they met, so as not to hurt the body, and then went to four theaters for five hours , is more tiring than playing the Spurs.

During the transition between several theaters, Hathaway tearfully said that "Becoming Jane Austen" was cold.Su Yang patted his chest and said that he would wait until the summer to prepare a literary film, invite Hathaway to star in it, and try to hit the Oscar next year or the year after.

Hathaway burst into tears on the spot.

No. 16 the next day, the fifth game between the Clippers and the Spurs in the Western Conference playoffs started at the Inglewood YouTube Center.

Whistleblowing finally became normal. The Clippers adapted ahead of time. Before the Spurs could adapt, they took a 30-17 lead in the first quarter. Su Yang played another 12 minutes in the second quarter to resist the Spurs' crazy counterattack. After the third quarter, he played 31 to 18. [-]. Take the initiative completely.

But at the desperate moment, Ginobili and Finley's three-pointers were perfect, forcing the game to the end of the fourth quarter.

However, Bowen dragged Su Yang who was jumping from the waist, not only failed to prevent Su Yang from scoring, but also did not hurt Su Yang, and was expelled for a second-level malicious foul. Su Yang made an additional penalty and a technical foul free throw. Score 2 points in a row to firmly control the lead.

The next day, the Lakers narrowly beat the Mavericks by two points, also swept the Mavericks 4-1 to advance, and joined the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals.
