Chapter 129 We all have a bright future
Although he doesn't know if the news is true or not, Su Yang is sure that Thunder's winning streak has made other teams pay attention.
As long as those teams study carefully, they will soon find that Thunder is afraid of tough confrontation, so they need to prepare in advance.
NO.18, the Thunder played away against the Orlando Magic.
Perhaps learning from the failure of the previous game, the Magic launched the main attack directly from the outside at the beginning of the game. Stan Van Gundy also asked Howard to do more pick-and-roll cooperation at the top of the arc and on the wings. Carter and Lewis frequently attacked the basket through screens.
The Thunder started the game in a sluggish state. After the first quarter, they fell behind 17 to 28, mainly because of consecutive battles in a short period of time. Howard was standing under the magic basket. .
Su Yang was neither angry nor anxious, knowing that there was no need to force the players to maintain high pressure for a long time.
The so-called degree of relaxation has won 11 games in a row before, and it is really nothing to lose an away game in the East.
At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder trailed by 30 points and lost to the Magic 94-108.
The winning streak ended, and the generals of the Thunder breathed a sigh of relief. Su Yang said in an interview that he would take a good rest for a day.
The whole team flew back to Oklahoma, did not arrange joint practice, and only did regular warm-ups on the day of the game against the Wizards.
After the video conference, Su Yang got the scout report and found that there was a high probability that he could easily beat the Wizards.
The Wizards of the new season had a difficult start, with 10 losses in the first 7 games.Arenas, who came back after recovering from injury for a season, has not yet recovered to the status of a general. He is still at the second level of Song Bing. Jamison and Butler are also in poor condition.
In addition to the poor state of the players, another reason is that the new Wizards coach Philip Saunders has a slightly poor coaching level. He is an old-school coach who pays attention to defense, emphasizes pick-and-rolls, and likes academic point guards, but Arenas is obviously not.
Sanders is still not good at communicating with players. The previous conflict with the Pistons was a typical case.
Sanders also doesn't like to use young players. He is a bit like a simplified version of Larry Brown, so that the third-year Nick Young, with no health problems, averaged three points less per game than last season. many minutes.
After reading the scouting report, Su Yang made some simple arrangements, reduced the number of on-the-spot commands, and let Westbrook and Harden practice more.
At the end of the game, the Thunder beat the Wizards 127 to 108, and five players from the team scored in double figures.
Harden performed particularly well, making 11 of 8 shots, including 6 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 25 points efficiently.
But Durant's 15 free throws made Su Yang a little annoyed. He could see that the league intended to give Durant preferential treatment. Most of them wanted to make stars. It happened that the Thunder had a good start and made Durant a public enemy of the league. , add a topic.
Su Yang wanted to remind Durant not to take advantage of the whistle to play, and he was worried about dampening Durant's enthusiasm.
After thinking about it, he discussed with Snyder and other teaching assistants for a while, and decided to remind them by telling stories.
Training at the base the next day, after running a round of five-out tactics, Su Yang casually chatted with the Thunder generals, saying that he had seen a player before. Relax, that player lost a lot of free throws, and the offense was greatly affected, resulting in ten consecutive three-pointers hitting the iron, because the muscle memory was difficult to adjust.
After the story was finished, Su Yang looked at Durant, but Durant looked at Harden, and Harden was picking his nose.
When the training was over, Durant approached Su Yang and expressed that he understood what he meant, and that he would reduce the use of giant loops in the future.
On the 22nd, the Thunder played against the Bucks at home.
Facing the rookie who is the pinnacle of "Jennings" Jennings, Su Yang arranged for Westbrook to interfere with him all the way, and then arranged for Ibaka and Durant to pay attention to shrinking the defense at any time and use his long arms to interfere with Jennings' shooting. Don't worry about James Ning Si broke through for a layup.
That defensive strategy was a bit counter-intuitive, and Westbrook asked why.
Su Yang explained that Jennings is a fresh move, and he is more accurate in the middle and long distances. It also makes people mistakenly think that he is also very good at breakthroughs. Many teams like to choose two and one to defend against his breakthroughs, but Jennings is very good at breakthroughs and layups. Poor, the completion success rate at the basket is only [-]%.
Compared to a rookie like Evans, who rushes to the basket at every turn, Jennings is an outlier.
After Su Yang finished speaking, he glanced at Wei Shao intentionally or unintentionally, and Wei Shao raised his hand and scratched his head with a smile.
The game started at 06:30, and the Thunder defended according to the strategy formulated by Su Yang, which made Jennings hit the iron one after another.
As for the "golden left hand" Michael Reid, he was also made quite uncomfortable by the Thunder's high mobility and delayed defense.

In the afternoon of the next day, Su Yang received a salary, [-]% was used to buy stocks, [-]% was transferred to the company's funds, and then he promoted the MT application in the team chat group, using the "privilege" to let Durant and others download the non-IOS version And help spread the word.
A few hours later, the team's big boss Clayton said that it was very convenient to chat and communicate with MT, and he wanted to talk to Su Yang about investing in shares. Su Yang declined, saying that he was already in contact with Sequoia Capital and did not need more funds for the time being. injection.
On the 24th, the Thunder played against the Rockets at home. The process and result were the same as before, winning 100 to 91.
After a three-day break, the Thunder played the Lakers at home again. The game was broadcast live on TNT across the United States, which attracted a lot of attention.
As soon as the game started, Kobe attacked with all his strength, took the ball directly from the waist for singles, double-teamed and did not pass, and scored 4 points in a row.
But apart from Kobe, the other players of the Lakers performed slightly worse, and Bynum was also defended by Chandler to the point where he hit three irons in a row.
As for the Thunder, Durant added a free throw in response to Kobe, and Ibaka also used a mid-range shot to stretch the space, forcing Gasol to change his defensive strategy. By the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led the Lakers 30-25. soaring.
In the second quarter, the situation of the two teams did not change much. Harden scored 10 points in a single quarter to help the Thunder lead 31-29.
Unexpectedly, the situation changed drastically in the third quarter. With 5 minutes left, Fisher slammed his shoulders and knocked over Ibaka who was trying to cover.
The obviously deliberate foul caused Ibaka to roll painfully on the floor with his hands on his chest, which instantly attracted Westbrook and the others to rush up. Fortunately, the referee stopped it in time, so the group fight did not escalate, but he only boasted about Fisher's skills foul.
Perhaps it was because the scene was too brutal, but when Durant made a technical free throw, the Thunder's momentum plummeted.
Afterwards, the Lakers played a wave and quickly tied the score. Su Yang had to ask for a timeout to make adjustments.
He didn't arrange tactics, and he didn't say that the players were a little bit cowardly. He only mentioned the fight for Aldridge at the beginning, and told the Thunder generals to fight freely. As long as the Lakers dare to commit crimes again, he will definitely rush to help them dry fight.
Perhaps with his backing and support, the Thunder generals finally returned to their normal state and started a hand-to-hand battle with the Lakers.
In the last 8 seconds of the game, Kobe broke through for a layup and caused Ibaka to foul. The extra penalty helped the Lakers lead by two points.
Su Yang called a timeout, and used Durant as a bait to set up a lore tactic for Harden. Unfortunately, Harden shot hard, and Ibaka grabbed an offensive rebound, but made a mistake in his busy schedule. He thought the Thunder were behind by three points, and actually passed the ball out. , lost the last chance.
In the end, the Thunder lost to the Lakers by two points, but five of the team scored in double figures, and Ibaka grabbed 14 rebounds.
Back in the locker room after the game, Ibaka took the initiative to apologize to the team, regretting such a low-level mistake.
Su Yang emphasized that there is no need to apologize. If you win, you will be mad, and if you lose, you will bear it. Next time, just come back.
When participating in the press conference, he also specifically praised Ibaka, who can continue to fight with injuries, he is definitely a real man.
In the last game in November, the Thunder flew to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz away.
Su Yang arranged heavy troops to attack Boozer and Millsap's two defensive weak points. Harden, Green and Ibaka played extremely well, making 22 of 15 shots in total, successfully filling in Sefolosha and Westbrook's 16 shots The big pit in 5.
After the whole game, the Thunder beat the Jazz 104 to 94 and continued to maintain the top position in the league.
On the second night, Su Yang received an email from the league office, congratulating him on winning the title of best coach in the Western Conference in October and November in the new season with a record of 15 wins and 2 losses. The announcement will be announced on the official NBA website and social media soon .
A reporter who got the news broke the news through Twitter in advance. In addition to Su Yang winning the best coach of the month in the Western Conference, Harden also won the best rookie of the month in the Western Conference, and Durant was the best player of the month in the Western Conference. It's bright.
But the award belongs to the award, and Su Yang wants the Thunder to have a villain role player, after all, winning the championship is standard.
