Chapter 176
After attending the press conference, the entire Thunder team left the arena in a bus, and the atmosphere in the car was somewhat gloomy.
The main reason is that the loss was too nonsense, due to foul troubles, and also because of a few blind fights, not because of inferior skills.
Su Yang didn't force himself to encourage him, and used his mobile phone to communicate with several teaching assistants throughout the process.After Snyder persuaded him to return to the hotel, he took the initiative to talk to Harden, using the carrot and stick method to prevent Harden from thinking too much and becoming timid.
Su Yang replied that spreading the word through the media can not only reflect full trust in Harden, but also serve as a deterrent.
The reason why he did that was mainly to play psychological games, just like Phil Jackson sometimes said 'Kobe is weaker than Jordan', and sometimes said 'Kobe is better than Jordan', it was nothing more than spreading words through the media and giving Kobe Bryant stimulation in different directions.
In Su Yang's view, those psychological games are the important reason why Phil Jackson can lead superstars well. If we really want to discuss the achievements of offensive and defensive tactics, Phil Jackson may not even be ranked in the top [-] in NBA history, but he has the most championships.
The key point is that this kind of psychological game is not Larry Brown's kind of PUA-style brainwashing. He catches and sprays players when he sees mistakes. Kneel and lick...
Anyway, as a coach, on the premise of mutual respect with ordinary players and even superstars, just learn!
The next morning, Su Yang got up early, while doing morning exercises, while watching ESPN basketball news express.
Unexpectedly, the well-known commentator Stephen Smith slammed Harden's lack of professionalism on the show, and even went to nightclubs during the playoffs, which caused serious abnormal performance during the game, wasting the efforts of his teammates and coaches, and suggested that the Thunder should punish him internally.
After spraying Harden, Stephen Smith went on to spray Westbrook, saying that Westbrook ignored the head coach's command, forcibly attacked double-teams, and ruined the momentum of the Thunder with two offensive fouls. The degree of error was more serious than Harden, similar to the battlefield Do not obey military orders.
After Stephen Smith finished speaking, the other two guests also criticized Harden and Westbrook. They didn't even talk about the basic routine of "some people support and others oppose" in the show, making it seem that Harden and Westbrook shouldn't play basketball. Should be retired immediately.
Su Yang laughed out loud, knowing that the three of Stephen said that to create hot spots to attract traffic, but he still picked up his mobile phone and sent a tweet: "It's just a game lost, don't make it look like the end of the world, we will Win the series."
After tweeting, Su Yang called Harden and the others to have breakfast together, but everyone except Westbrook was still sleeping.
He didn't force it, and went downstairs to meet Westbrook in the restaurant, and Westbrook took the initiative to chat about not obeying the command.
"When you shouted, I didn't react at all. I only thought about the success of the first game and didn't consider the actual situation. I'm sorry for that. I may make such mistakes in the future. Do you understand? ?”
After Wei Shao finished speaking, Su Yang suddenly felt a little strange, did it mean 'I know I was wrong, but I just won't change'?
After thinking about it again, it should be that Westbrook's reading of defense is biased and it is difficult to make a correct judgment very quickly, because in many cases, especially the rapid advancement of offensive and defensive transitions, it is muscle memory that dictates how to play. Waiting for the brain to make a correct judgment will probably lose the opportunity.
Su Yang replied: "John Stockton also often plays with intuition, you need to practice more and analyze..."
The two of them had breakfast, and Harden finally arrived, wearing a pair of big slippers, wrapped in a big nightgown, and a big gold chain. He looked like a nouveau riche, but he said guiltily as soon as he sat down: "Coach ,I was wrong…"
Seeing Harden's funny appearance, Su Yang imitated the emoji with a smile on the spur of the moment and asked, "Where is the mistake?"
Harden put his head in his hands in embarrassment: "I shouldn't have stayed up late to play for so long, mainly because of my brothers..."
Su Yang interrupted with a wave of his hand: "As an adult, you are free to stay up late and play for as long as you want, but it should not affect your performance. If you can do what Michael Jordan did, you would gamble until three o'clock in the morning in Atlantic City on the eve of the Finals. There is no problem in beating the Knicks and leading the team to the promotion, but you didn’t do that well last night, understand?”
Harden was stunned for a moment, and Su Yang continued: "Your idol Kobe will not interfere with young players going to bars during the away trip, and sometimes even go together, but he will ask those young players to train with him in the early morning, understand me mean?"
Harden nodded with all his thoughts, and Su Yang said: "If you can't do what Jordan did, then you have to take a serious rest and ensure that you can perform normally in the game, otherwise I can only ban you from playing, which should be fair Bar?"
Competitive sports ability speaks for itself. If you have the ability, you can smoke, drink, and fight. If you don’t have the ability, you will be sprayed for eating egg-filled pancakes.
Seeing that Harden figured out the logic, Su Yang turned the topic to the local food in Phoenix and asked Harden to arrange dinner for dinner. After all, Harden studied in Arizona for two years. Even if he didn't know a good place, he could find someone to recommend it for him. .
After chatting and returning to the room, Su Yang found that the tweets he had sent before had caused a lot of discussion. Some fans believed that it was normal for him to maintain the image of Harden and Westbrook. Some fans believed that he deliberately caused criticism and pretended to be a good person to gain attention.
Su Yang didn't bother to respond, and didn't arrange training for the players in the afternoon, but took the whole team to the cinema to watch the just-released Marvel blockbuster "Iron Man 2", intending the players to convey a belief: the series is under control among.
When Scarlett Johansson appeared in the movie for the first time, Durant applauded excitedly, and everyone despised her.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the whole team had dinner at the restaurant arranged by Harden and ate tacos.
After everyone was seated, Su Yang invited a secret guest—Harden High School head coach Scott Pera.
Harden was very happy, and took the initiative to give a speech as a leader, and the atmosphere of the dinner party quickly became quite lively.
On the second day of the match, the whole team resumed joint training, and they were quite energetic. Su Yang was very satisfied.
The game officially started at [-]:[-] p.m., both the Thunder and the Suns tacitly put up super strong defenses, vowing to play now.
Only a few minutes into the first quarter, Ibaka got two defensive fouls by Stoudemire, and Durant and Matthews also got fouls respectively.Fortunately, the Thunder team's defense is super oppressive, and the Suns only made 38% of their shots in the first quarter.
As a substitute in the second quarter, Harden led the team to play a strong performance. He once scored eight points in a row, grabbed rebounds and sent assists, just like an MVP-level player, but he never expected that Frye, who had been sluggish for three games, made 4 of 3 three-pointers. In the middle of the game, he actually won the bet once.
Just like that, the two teams ended in a tie at halftime, and the gap was not widened in the third quarter, and the game dragged into the fourth quarter.
The Suns defended like crazy, and the Thunder were called for fouls, but Durant was unstoppable.
The two teams made various timeout adjustments. In the last 1.8 seconds, Frye assisted Richardson to hit a three-pointer, and the Suns overtook the Thunder by one point.
Thunderous cheers erupted at the American West Arena, and even a large number of fans shouted "tactical thief" at Su Yang in unison. The general manager and owner of the Suns, Robert Savor, laughed and applauded to show their support, wishing to join in the shouting .
Su Yang heard those shouts, changed his mind temporarily, and decided to use D'Antoni's classic tactics to try to kill the Suns.
Amid the boos of the audience, he calmly began to arrange: "The next tactic, we will use a combination of ghost screen and Ram screen, the point is to use the time when the opponent is hesitant to switch defenses, and provide cover for the target player..."
The whistle sounded at the end of the timeout, and the players of the two teams returned to the court and took their positions.
According to Su Yang's arrangement, Green stood on the left sideline waiting to serve, Chandler and Durant stood on the left and right elbows, Harden stood at the top of the arc, and Westbrook stood 45 degrees to the right. The four people in the arena present a parallelogram stance.
Beep!The referee's whistle blew.
Westbrook immediately rushed into the paint from the start, and with the help of Chandler's cover, he rushed to the large open area in the left corner to create a catch-and-shoot threat. The speed was so fast that Lopez fell into a state of hesitation whether to switch defenses and delays.
Just when Lopez hesitated, Harden rushed to the left elbow and set up a wall as a cover.
Chandler took the opportunity to get rid of Lopez, strode laterally to the right elbow, and set up a wall to block Hill.
Durant rushed from the right elbow to the top of the arc in an instant, and successfully raised his hand to receive a pass from Green, while Hill, who was in charge of defending him, was far away. The entire free throw line area was due to Harden's generous body and Lopez and Richardson, huddled together.
In the horrified eyes of the Suns fans in the field, Durant took a step to adjust his rhythm, stood up, and raised his hand for a three-pointer.
The basketball went into the net, the Thunder overtook the Suns 109 to 107, and the whistle sounded at the end of the game.
The extremely professional ESPN commentator Jeff Van Gundy sighed: "Su Yang just used Coach Mike D'Antoni's classic tactics. This is the first time he used Coach Mike's tactics after nearly four games, and he beat the Suns."
What Van Gundy said quickly spread to Twitter and other social networks, and fans from all walks of life expressed that Su Yang was really ruthless.
