Chapter 315 The Attack of a Really Powerful Enemy

The dinner party came to an end, Su Yang sent Dayao and Sun Yue away, and went into the study to think carefully about how to achieve four people on the same stage.

If it is achieved, it will definitely be a famous scene in the men's basketball team.

It is necessary to rush.

I and Dayao will definitely be selected for the All-Star Game, and they can just participate in the Rookie Challenge. The UAE is also the best rookie of the month. Only Sun Yue is more troublesome. Considering that the selection for the Rookie Challenge is determined by the coaches of each team It was decided by voting that first of all, Sun Yue needs to show their impressive abilities, and Sun Yue's biggest feature is nothing more than a poor man's version of a magician.

The magician is strong in organization and assists, especially those exquisite passes, which made Sun Yue develop in that direction.

After making up his mind, Su Yang rushed to the Clippers training base early the next morning. Before the video conference was held, he discussed with Spoel how to arrange more playing time and tactical tilt for Sun Yue. Bring in the rookie challenge.

Spoel said casually: "That's very simple. You look for opportunities in the first three quarters to make more efforts and try to expand the lead to 15+. Naturally, Sun can play more time, but don't force it. Sun's opponent is relatively strong. Maybe just rely on Strategies are hard to come by.”

Anyway, helping Sun Yue to be selected for the Challenger League, it is not easy to share the ball rights and time of the other Clippers, so Su Yang can only save it.

When Su Yang heard this, he immediately recalled the point guards in this draft. The highest pick was Conley, who directly served as the starting point guard for the Grizzlies. It was almost hopeless to steal Conley's spot by strategy. Think about it carefully , the first-round point guards also include Aaron Bruce and Petri Koponen, one who has not had a chance to play in the Rockets for the time being, and the other who stayed in Europe and did not come to the NBA to report.

I didn’t remember any other point guards in the second round. I opened the computer to search and found that in the 07 draft, there were quite a few point guards. Except for Sun Yue in the second round, only Jared Jordan, Ramon Sessions and Sammy Mejia were left. Make sure that none of the three are a threat. The main three are training in the Development League. Unless there is a huge accident, the home team of the three may recall them.

"The more chance is to compete with Aaron Brooks, so tonight's game against the Rockets is very important..."

Su Yang checked the Rockets game records at the same time, and found that Brooks had only played 14 minutes against the sun garbage in the previous 3 games, which can basically be ignored. In comparison, Sun Yue must have been noticed by the coach from the first game of the season to the present .

This shit won't enter the rookie challenge lying down, right?

A total of 9 people were selected for the Rookie Challenge. Point guards generally have two places, Conley occupies one, and the other has no competition.

Spoelstra then said: "It is also necessary to prevent other positions from grabbing places, so that neither Sun Yue nor Brooks can be selected. In short, it is enough to implement according to the plan. Most coaches still look at the data. It is difficult for them to remember how good the substitute players of other teams are. In terms of performance, unless there is a lore or a top ten pass assist, we can try to let Sun play with you for some time."

Su Yang nodded in agreement. The impact of only playing garbage time is still relatively low. If he and Sun Yue are on the same field, he can let Sun Yue pass some bolder or more difficult balls and force him to get assists. But to achieve that effect, the rotation arrangement needs to be adjusted. .

It's really troublesome.

But Su Yang thinks it is necessary both in public and in private.

Yu Gong is training a backup point guard for the Clippers.

Yu privately trains a backup point guard for the national team, or even a starting point guard. Next year, he will play in the Olympics next year. He will try to kill Meng Ba, who is the strongest after Meng Yi, and Spain, who almost won. But if he wants to do that, now Just start giving opportunities.

The strategy was established, the rest of the team arrived, and the video conference was held. Su Yang chatted with Sun Yue as usual, without saying more time.

The main reason is that he doesn’t want to put too much pressure on Sun Yue because of his bluntness. When he proposed four people to share the stage last night, his eyes were a little dodgy, obviously lacking in confidence. After all, he was going to compete with a group of first-round picks. figure it out.

The morning training followed closely.

Spoelstrom cooperated with trying a new rotation, and caught the best-talking Iguodala to pluck the wool, and replaced Iguodala after only 3 minutes of playing. Go to the small forward position and play with Sun Yue.

That's basically the optimal rotation strategy.

When Su Young went off the court at the end of the first and third quarters, Iguodala reappeared as a point forward.

The rehearsal went extremely smoothly, mainly because Iguodala himself had taken over a similar role before, and the team's golf quotient was also high.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the Clippers faced the Rockets.

The three Chinese competed in the same field, attracting a large number of Chinese fans in the Los Angeles area. Even in the San Francisco Bay Area, many Chinese fans flew over to watch the game. They also specially wore jackets with red flags on them and small red flags on their foreheads. exhibit.

The Clippers won the jump ball. Su Yang caught it and brought it across the center line. He called a screen at the top of the arc. It was difficult to prevent Yao from bullying him. He rushed to the left end of the free throw line and made a stop jumper to score steadily. Then he repeated the tactics in the next round. Aggressive pull down full to full.

After only three and a half minutes into the first quarter, Su Yang had already scored 8 points. He even rushed forward despite double-teaming and huge delays. He told the Rockets coaching staff and players invisibly: I just want to score crazy points tonight. As for how to defend , you can figure it out for yourself.

Spoelstra then removed Iguodala according to the plan and arranged for Sun Yue to play the point guard. The Chinese fans on the scene immediately cheered and shouted, and the TNT commentator complained: This is a rotation arranged for ratings. I bet there are now [-] million Chinese people are watching the game, so I can understand this rotation, and I also know that even if Sun makes a mistake and loses a point, Su can get it back.

The game continues.

Su Yang settled down in the frontcourt, watched Sun Yue control the ball and reached the top of the arc, and immediately rushed up to set up a wall as a cover, successfully attracting the Rockets' defensive attention, suddenly turned around and went down after seeing the situation, and actually hit a snake roll. Ray Allen screens to block Wells.

When Ray Allen arrived, Wells was blocked, and Battier, who was in charge of chasing and defending Su Yang, was at a loss.

Taking advantage of the gap between Battier's hesitation, Ray Allen raised to block Alston, and Sun Yue rushed to the free throw line, facing Yao's defense, and gave the ball to Chandler who was standing still at the basket with a low hand. And Chandler made a dunk and easily scored two points.

Cheers erupted in the arena.

After a moment of silence, the TNT commentator said: "Well, I underestimated Sun's ability to seize opportunities. He made good use of Su Yang's false pass to block the opportunity of Bunch Wells, the second screen switch, and made a pass from the free throw line. A qualified assist.

Of course, he can do what he did just now, provided that Su Yang scored wildly before and stole the Rockets' defensive attention. "

While talking, the game continued.

As usual, Su Yang ran a lot without the ball, forcibly turning the game into Sun Yue's ball-handling four-on-three. Nohide stopped suddenly with one hand and turned around to make a mid-range shot.

The Rockets have no way to deal with it. Only Dayao is struggling to cope with the situation by scoring one after another inside. Playing Chandler is the same as playing a training game. Su Yang deliberately did not organize double-teams. Firstly, it is not necessary in the regular season. I don't want to kill the game too early.

After halftime, the Clippers led 62 to 51.

During the intermission, Su Yang, Dayao, and Sun Yue were interviewed by CCTV5 together, calling for the All-Star Rookie Challenge to meet in the All-Star Rookie Challenge, as a New Year greeting to the folks all over the country, just as the Spring Festival is closer to the All-Star.

Back in the locker room, Spoel received a hint from Su Yang, praised Sun Yue for his outstanding performance, and encouraged the second half to continue.

Then the third quarter started.

Su Yang continued to rush and play, serving as a point guard to attract the Rockets to double-team and smoke, and then transferred to the small forward position, playing off the ball to cooperate with Sun Yue, firmly maintaining the 11-point lead and gradually expanding, hitting fourth In the middle of the quarter, they already led by 17 points.

Rockets coach Rick Adelman also understands that Su Yang is holding back and playing, and withdraws the main force with 3 minutes left, conceding in advance.

In the end, the Clippers beat the Rockets 117 to 101, and the winning streak expanded to 14 games. Su Yang continued to average a triple-double.

At the post-match press conference, Su Yang brought Sun Yue together, talked about how he viewed Sun Yue's excellent performance of 14 points and 11 assists, and said calmly: "He is very talented. Play better."

Sun Yue also talked about his excellent performance, and subconsciously wanted to say that he just did a little work, but then thought of Su Yangti’s reminder that the American media and fans ignored the routine of ‘humility’, and said instead: “Yes, I played well. good…"

Post-match interviews soon hit the news.

All kinds of heated discussions ensued.

The well-known 'Su Hei' Chris Bunty tweeted: "I heard that Su Yang has officially purchased the oil pipeline center. His next plan should be to control and buy the Clippers. He has now used his privileges to vigorously cultivate Sun Yue, arbitrarily Breaking Iguodala's playing time is definitely to suppress Iguodala's data, so that he can renew his contract at a low price next year and prepare for him to continue to compete for the championship."

Five seconds after the tweet was posted, some fans reminded Bunty that Iguodala had already renewed his contract in advance, and Su Yang gave up the maximum salary to renew his contract so that Iguodala could get the maximum salary, but Bunty is not afraid of boiling water. Deliberately keep the wrong tweets and attract traffic like crazy.

Seeing the hot discussion, Su Yang didn't bother to pay attention to it, and made Sun Yue also worried, because Bunty obviously wanted to gain popularity on purpose.

Taking advantage of the three-day rest, Su Yang and Ivanka, together with Sterling and Andy Russell, rushed to the office of the Overseas Trade Commission in Los Angeles to officially complete the handover and transfer of the oil pipeline center, once again securing a big deal for the META Group. assets.

The plan to buy Netflix and Apple stocks has also begun to be implemented, and the specific operations will be handed over to two executives, Lu Qi and Sandberg.

The next day, he and Hathaway submitted "Rachel's Wedding" to the Orcas Committee for review. Taking advantage of the low competition for leading actresses in 08, we can see if we can give Hathaway a nomination. Think, acting and qualifications are still poor.

On the last day of November, the Clippers flew to the Denver plateau to challenge the Nuggets, who had a dismal winning percentage of only 9 wins.

Perhaps it was too much damage for Diawara to be the starting shooting guard against the Clippers before. The Nuggets coach George Karl was very bold to use Anthony Carter, who re-signed to the Nuggets during the offseason, as the starting point guard, allowing Iverson Switch to shooting guard.

Operate like that, give up the backcourt defense.

But pushing the fast break is faster.

The game starts at six o'clock.

The Nuggets are full of speed directly, rushing and passing on the offensive end, and pinching and pressing on the defensive end. Anyway, they never stop for a moment. George Karl yelled on the sidelines not to let Su Yang get the ball. The Clippers have an attitude of letting other people beat me to death.

Su Yang didn't make many shots, and the two teams scored alternately.

But after Iguodala was off the court and Sun Yue came on the court, the situation changed suddenly. The main reason was that Sun Yue suffered a loss in experience, defended against Anthony Carter and was cheated in various ways, and changed to defend against Iverson but couldn't keep up with the speed, which made the Nuggets' offensive efficiency soar. The Clippers are still at a normal level.

After halftime, the Clippers trailed by 13 points.

The whole team returned to the locker room, and Su Yang spoke to comfort and encourage Sun Yue not to panic, always going through such a moment, sooner rather than later.

Sun Yue nodded to show that she understood, but she was obviously panicked.

After the break, the third quarter begins.

Su Yang rushed and hit with all his strength, but Iverson seemed to be back to his peak, and his condition was surprisingly good. All kinds of super-large Crossover shaking forced Ray Allen, and Anthony also played up, hitting three-pointers one after another, making him stunned It was too late to catch up with the score.

After the whole game, the Clippers lost 116 to 123, and the winning streak came to an end. Su Yangkong scored 56 points and 8 assists.

Back in the locker room, Sun Yue apologized in public, but before finishing speaking, Iguodala and Ray Allen stopped, and assistant coach Payton said: "Don't be afraid of making mistakes, we players, except Su Yang, all You need to grow up, you are a rookie, don’t lose confidence just because you can’t defend your opponent, we believe in you, and we believe in Su Yang even more, since he is willing to help, you must be capable.”

After Payton finished speaking, Su Yang said calmly: "You will get used to it if you lose a few more games. Sometimes it's not that you play badly, but the opponent plays too well. Back in the 01 finals, it's normal for you to be unable to guard against it, so don't think too much about it."

When Sun Yue heard this, his expression relaxed.

After finishing the press conference, the whole team flew back to Los Angeles overnight, and got two days of rest according to the schedule.

The news of the official change of ownership of the oil pipe center was also sent out by ESPN and the New York Times, and various heated discussions followed.

LeBron tweeted: "Congratulations to my brother Su Yang for winning the YouTube Center! No one is more suitable than you to own that arena. Congratulations to the Clippers fans and the people of Inglewood on ushering in a new era. I can't wait Going to play."

The brainless fan Arenas tweeted: "I sincerely hope that Su Yang will replace Michael Jordan as the new representative of NBA players. He proves that we players can do anything, and we can participate more in any aspect of the team. Management of any aspect of the team, and even start a business and achieve success, I no longer stop at the image of an investor who is stupid and has a lot of money.”

Well-known commentator Kevin Pelton tweeted: "In my opinion, Su Yang has surpassed Michael Jordan. If he achieves four consecutive championships, everyone will admit that he surpassed Michael Jordan. Friends, we are experiencing a new era. History."

While all kinds of praises for Su Yang, at the same time, a large number of fans criticized him for forcibly training Sun Yue, which caused the Clippers to interrupt their winning streak.

When Su Yang saw the news, he thought to himself, what is this? Compared to what Rivers did to train Little Rivers, what I have done is not too much.

On December [-]nd, the Clippers faced the distracted Pacers. Su Yang received the first player of the month trophy in the Western Conference before the game. Unfortunately, Sun Yue failed to beat Durant and Conley, and was the best player of the month in the Western Conference. Ranked third in the rookie selection.

When the game started, the Clippers used Iguodala's rotation in 3 minutes as usual. Su Yang and Sun Yue scored 45 points and 22 assists, and only made one turnover, helping the Clippers beat the Pacers. Spoel praised Sun Yue after the game. The shadow of the magician.

After beating the Pacers, the Clippers faced the Bucks, challenged the Sonics back-to-back away games, and then played the Kings away, winning another four consecutive victories.

The whole team flew back to Los Angeles, took a day off according to the schedule, and prepared to face the Heat, which is in a 9-game winning streak.

Media such as ESPN and TNT have claimed that the battle between the two teams is a preview of the finals, and fans also analyze and discuss predictions.

Su Yang didn't care too much. He looked at the list while he was basking in the sun with Alba and Irene, and found that he was still ranked first in the MVP, but Sun Yue performed smoothly, but ranked third in the ranking of rookie guards. The second is Juan Navarro.

"This Navarro is the main force of the Spanish team. It is necessary to target him. It can not only improve Sun Yue's ranking and confidence, but also reserve experience in advance for next year's Olympics. I really forgot about this guy before. He was elected in 02, it seems Only for one year..."
