Chapter 195 Live as Another Durant
Chapter 195 Live as Another Durant
As Su Yang predicted, after the timeout ended, the Kai team resumed their solo defense.
Durant, who had been gaining momentum for a long time, faced Pierce, who had a lot of fouls, and made various technical moves casually.
Going back and forth for several rounds, Pierce tried many methods hard, but it was better to actively retreat to block the paint area and force Durant to make long shots, but even then, Durant kept scoring steadily and always provided firepower output.
On the other hand, the Thunder's other positions allowed the Celtics to effectively limit the game, so that the game situation did not change much.
After halftime, the Thunder led the Celtics 55-41, and Durant scored 26 points.
Returning to the locker room during the halftime break, Su Yang praised Durant: "KD, you suddenly reminded me that after Kobe scored 50+ points in four consecutive games, the Mavericks tried their best to defend and Kobe only scored 43 points. ..."
The generals of the Thunder burst into laughter, and Durant nodded with a smile on his face: "It was you who made the adjustments, and everyone cooperated well..."
Su Yang didn't want to brag about each other's business, because since Durant made consecutive fouls at the beginning of the game, the Celtics adjusted their defensive strategy around Durant. As a result, new problems appeared every time they adjusted, and they went back to letting Durant go. singles.
Anyway, the Celtics have no good way to take Durant.
The second half of the game started immediately, and Su Yang did not relax his vigilance, directing Durant and Chandler to play more pick-and-rolls.
Durant didn't use any special technical moves, he just practiced the most basic wild ball boxing. point.
The Celtics watched him shoot. When the Thunder led by 19 points, Garnett couldn't stand up and chose to switch defenses with Perkins. But before Garnett had time to make the first attack, Su Yang Command Durant to adjust his style of play.
Durant executed orders without thinking, turned on singles and split ball mode, continued to bully Pierce, who had a lot of fouls, and even used a more proficient post-up singles, took the ball at the waist, and attracted double-teams near the basket. Range ball.
As soon as they turned their backs, the Kai team had no choice.
Van Gundy sighed: "Durant played like Jordan in the first half of the game, and in the third quarter he confidently took out post-up singles. Imagine a six-foot-nine-inch Jordan playing post-up mode. What would the Celtics do? Can you defend efficiently?"
Brin said with a smile: "I just got the news that Coach Su Yang encouraged Durant to look like Jordan in the first quarter of the game, and then successfully predicted the Celtics' defensive strategy three times in a row, fully helping Durant play Jordan-level performance... "
After three quarters, the Thunder led by 22 points.
The Celtics did not give up. Rivers directly sent Rasheed Wallace, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen and Nate at the start of the fourth quarter to play against Harbin in a sneak attack. The Thunder's second team led by Deng and Green.
Assistant coach Snyder suggested that the Thunder's main force be dispatched simultaneously to prevent the Celtics from attacking and revive their momentum.
Su Yang thought for a moment, and decided to exercise Harden and Green's ability to deal with big scenes, and did not make adjustments for the time being.
At that time, I thought that the offensive and defensive strength of the Thunder's second team was indeed weaker. In about three and a half minutes, the Celtics played an 8-1 offensive.
Seeing that the lead was reduced to 15 points, Durant and Westbrook eagerly took the initiative to fight, worried about being overturned.
Su Yang was not in a hurry, confident that everything was under control, but he still called a timeout and replaced the main force 2 minutes in advance.
The Thunder's main lineup came on the stage and directly stabilized the situation on both ends of the offense and defense, but Durant was subsequently targeted by the referee.
The referee may feel that Durant was given too much preferential treatment before, and Durant was whistled for two fouls in a row, which caused Durant's offensive feel to decline sharply, and his defense became a bit out of standard. It quickly changed from Michael Jordan to Eddie Jordan.
Pierce took the opportunity to show off, making sudden shots and fouls, and even completed two blocks, just like an FMVP performance.
Fortunately, the rest of the Thunder performed very well. Ibaka assisted in the high position, had assists and scored; Harden not only ran without the ball to keep up with Ray Allen, but also took the initiative to make an empty layup; Sefolosha hit the open space at a critical moment The three-pointer completely ruined the hopes of the Celtics.
With 2 minutes left in the game, Su Yang dispatched three low-ranking rookies including Kyle Wavell, and drew a special basic set for the three, starting with a UCLA air cut. Be bold, don't worry about making mistakes.
The Kai team played a small climax because of this, but unfortunately it didn't help. Su Yang stood up every time and cheered for the three to score.
At the end of the game, Van Gundy stared at his notebook and read: "The Thunder won this game because Su Yang made full use of Durant to mobilize the Celtics' defense, and first used Durant to break through and create fouls, forcing the Celtics to press inside out…
Then use the inside to score consecutively, forcing the Celtics to defend Durant while limiting the basket area...
Then he used a mid-range shot to force the Celtics to let Durant play singles again and control the situation throughout the process. "
Breen answered: "Compared to player performance, Su Yang's command is more important, and it's still the kind of public control."
At the end of the game, the Thunder defeated the Celtics 107 to 96, leading Oita 1 to 0 in the finals.
Despite his poor performance in the last quarter, Durant still scored 41 points, breaking the record for the youngest scoring in the Finals.
In an interview with reporters after the game, Durant talked about why he performed so well: "I would like to thank Coach Su Yang, he always allows me to play in the most comfortable way, and even my mental state can be perfectly grasped. I still know myself. If it wasn’t for him to coach, I would definitely become another Kevin Durant, who would be very sensitive and caring about other people’s opinions...”
After finishing the interview, Durant walked to the sidelines and offered a hug to Su Yang, and the audience continued to give him applause.
The Thunder team returned to the locker room. Su Yang first changed the number of wins required to win the championship to 3, and then made a speech summary.
"We're celebrating tonight with a win, but remember, this is going to be a competitive series, the Boston Celtics aren't playing the tempo they want, they're going to figure it out, we need to stay on our toes... "
What Su Yang was preventing was the three games at the North Shore Garden. It was very difficult to break through the Celtics at home. Since the establishment of the Big Three, the Celtics have only lost five games at the North Shore Garden, and two of them were due to Gane. Special injury sidelined.
About half an hour later, the staff notified the Celtics that the entire team had attended the post-match press conference. He changed his clothes and rushed to the media center for an interview. As soon as he entered the door, he noticed the excited expressions on the faces of the reporters. news.
The ESPN reporter asked with a smile: "Kevin Garnett said just now that even if Michael Jordan took the Bulls in 96, he would not be able to win against you because the referees helped you without any scruples."
Su Yang thought for a while and said calmly: "I don't know if the Bulls can win, but I know that Jordan will definitely not complain that the referee made him lose. Since Kevin Garnett is so worried about the penalty, please join us Promoting the establishment of a challenge and penalty system..."
