Chapter 155 I am proud to watch him grow up day by day
According to the schedule, the Thunder had four days to prepare for the playoffs, and Su Yang gave the players two days off first.
He used MT to send a message to tell the players: Stay at home, play games and listen to rap, don’t run around, and don’t pay attention to those comments on Twitter, especially Durant, it’s best not to be caught using small No. Like the female model.
Su Yang himself had a two-day vacation to communicate with his agent assistant Taylor about Apple stocks, and also chatted with several investment teams on the phone. At noon on NO.16, he saw that the NBA announced that Durant had become the scoring leader, so he wrote a short congratulatory article on the spur of the moment.
"Three years ago that summer, I first met Durant outside training camp in Orlando. At that time, he already had good shooting skills. Breakthrough is still pretty bad.
Later, I went to the Portland Trail Blazers as an assistant coach. I saw him occasionally in the summer league and preseason. I found that after entering the NBA, his shot selection timing was very bad. He often cut into the penalty area with the ball and could not find the basket. Defending people is difficult.
But when I first coached him at All-Star Weekend, he had fixed a lot of those things and had so much potential.
Later, I officially became the head coach of the Thunder, and I proudly watched him grow up day by day...
At the end of 48, it should be about to play the Christmas game. I obviously noticed that he has learned to protect the ball to create shooting opportunities, and he has become smarter when running without the ball. His shooting percentage from outside the three-point line was once as high as [-]. %.
When he participated in the All-Star Weekend in [-], he learned foul tricks from Desmond Mason.
In this year's All-Star, he can already use his height advantage like Joe Johnson, maintain the center of gravity like Brandon Roy, grasp the details as accurately as Pierce, and rely more on instinct to play.
To this day, I am sure that my predictions will come true, and he will be the best scorer on the planet. "
After writing the short article and posting it to Twitter, it received a lot of likes in less than half an hour, and of course there was also a lot of opposition.
Many opponents believe that Durant averaged only 30.1 points per game this season, and his scoring ability is far inferior to players such as Kobe Bryant, let alone players like Michael Jordan in the last century. He must at least exceed Kobe's average of 35.4 points per game to qualify for discussion.
Considering that idleness is idleness, Su Yang argued intensively with opponents, starting from high-level data such as the number of shots, true shooting percentage, time holding the ball, and scoring per 100 rounds, taking turns arguing that Durant is the strongest scorer hand.
The debate lasted for several hours. When it was time for dinner, Su Yang received a private letter from Durant thanking him.He replied that he would always support Durant. At the same time, he was happy to see that Durant did not argue with the opponents, but he received a reply from Durant with a sneaky smile.
The two chatted for a while, and Durant assured Su Yang that he would go all out in the playoffs and never disappoint expectations.

NO.17 At nine o'clock in the morning, the Thunder team resumed training, and the players started from the shooting warm-up as usual.
The coaching staff headed by Su Yang went to the video analysis center and began to discuss how to deal with the first-round opponent, the Spurs.
The coaching staff didn't take the fact that the regular season and the Spurs PK win less and lose more, because there are unfavorable factors such as back-to-back consecutive battles and biased calls by referees, the playoffs can be completely avoided, and the normal PK Thunder won easily.
Assistant coach Brian introduced the scouting report first: "At the end of the regular season, the Spurs had a very good record. They defeated the Lakers, Magic and Nuggets successively. Manu Ginobili was in very good condition and finished ahead of schedule. Renewal..."
In about 3 minutes, Su Yang had a general understanding of the latest situation of the Spurs, and by the way, thought about how to play against them.
To put it simply, the Spurs are still insisting on implementing the goals at the beginning of the season: fully shifting the offensive focus from the inside to the outside, changing the core ball-handler from Duncan to Parker and Ginobili, boldly using young players, reducing positions, speeding up and playing more fast break.
After making up his mind, Su Yang said, "We need to focus on defending the Spurs' high-post pick-and-rolls. Judging from the video, they use RAM to cover a lot of pick-and-rolls. We need to remind the off-ball players to pay attention to observation, and at the same time ensure that there is room for catching up..."
After talking about the main strategy, he continued to propose detailed methods, such as inducing Ginobili to go to the sideline, restricting Ginobili’s left-handed breakthrough, big players who encounter pick-and-roll priority delays, players without the team boldly participating in local flanking, and active physical confrontation …
"Especially actively seeking confrontation. Russell and other guards should be encouraged to execute a lot. The Spurs guards are short and thin, and they are particularly disadvantaged in confrontation. Even if Ginobili succeeds in tricking a flop, he must persist in implementing it for a long time."
The meeting didn't end until ten o'clock. Su Yang first explained the main strategies to the whole team, and then asked Snyder and others to find the players to explain the detailed methods. will forget.
In the afternoon, the team held training. Su Yang took a few assistant coaches to run tactics together and do strength training together, intending to create fun for the players, and at the same time let the players experience what the coach's perspective would feel, and deepen the players' understanding of tactics.
That situation continued the next day, and it was game day in a blink of an eye. The Thunder officially played against the Spurs at home.
After lunch, Su Yang drove to the Ford Center at two o'clock and found that many fans had already started waiting to enter.
Those fans uniformly wear T-shirts with the icons of OKC and the championship trophy. There are temporary small tents everywhere on the square outside the arena, and there are some long banners with supporting slogans. The fan culture is quite rich.
Su Yang was very envious. There is basically no fan culture of the same scale in China. Everyone has to post a call online to watch the finals offline. Even if they enter the stadium to watch, there are many discipline and self-consciousness problems. .
Entering the arena, he found Presti as scheduled and talked about competing for the best head coach of the season.
The Thunder's record in the regular season reached a terrifying 68 wins and 14 losses, leaving behind the league's second-ranked Cavaliers by as many as 7 games, and Su Yang had never won it before. There would be no such thing as aesthetic fatigue. He thought he was the best player of the season. The head coach will be in the bag.
But Presti said that's not necessarily the case, because media reporters and sports columnists participated in the selection.
Participating in the campaign are Rockets coach Adelman, Trail Blazers coach McMillan, Bucks coach Skiles, Hawks coach Mike Woodson, and Jazz coach Sloan, of which Sloan is the biggest opponent.
The Jazz's record is average, but Sloan has never won a head coach. It has been rumored in the league for many years that Sloan should be awarded one, otherwise it is a pity for the best head coach award, just like Duncan does not have the best defensive player, and Kubrick does not have an Oscar. best director...
But winning the prize requires legally lobbying journalists and columnists who have the right to vote.
It is difficult for reporters to control the results of voting. For example, some reporters voted for the best defensive first team player for Eric Gordon.
Presti worried that those reporters and columnists did not give Su Yang face, and it was reasonable to vote for Sloan, so that it would not be a pity in the end, so he wanted to know his attitude towards the best coach award.
"Whatever, the best coach won't raise salary or improve coaching efficiency. It's useless." Su Yang shrugged and said, "My goal is to win the championship. After all, it is written in the contract that there will be a bonus of 500 million US dollars..."
