Chapter 212
For Su Yang's urging, Durant, like many others, did not think Rose would be an MVP contender.
Even the media, which always likes to exaggerate all kinds of small things infinitely, didn't think that the two would compete for the MVP.
At the NO.30 Bulls new season media meeting in September, when a reporter asked Rose if he was confident of becoming a top ten player in the league, Rose, who has always been low-key, replied calmly: "Why can't I become the league's MVP?"
Rose's remarks did not arouse much discussion, and almost everyone felt that it was just to express self-confidence.
It's like a slightly ranked team in the league. Every time they are asked about their goals in the new season, it is standard to win the championship.
What's more, it is too difficult for a player who has just entered the league's third year to win the MVP.
Regardless of record or personal data, Rose is too young. After all, even Wilt Chamberlain, who was at the peak of his debut, won the MVP in his rookie season. He was 23 years old at the time, and Rose will only be 22 next year.
Su Yang didn't care about Durant's disapproving attitude. Anyway, he urged Durant to become the MVP. The core purpose is to keep Durant's high morale and further improve his ability to break through and cope with the ball. It doesn't matter if he can get it in the end.
The main reason is that Durant doesn't need to prove his scoring ability. He likes to play hot hand and hard pass. He participated in the World Cup and let the old coach K give a "too selfless" evaluation. He is even willing to honor the honor of FMVP. get out.
The Thunder kept training as usual, and in a blink of an eye, October 27th was the day of the Thunder-Bulls game.
Su Yang canceled the training in the morning, and drove to the Ford Center at two o'clock in the afternoon, preparing as usual.
The scouting department and the trainer team met together. Phil Handy reported that captain Rick Collison was unable to play because of a calf injury. The scouting director Blatche briefly explained the various performances of the Bulls in the preseason, as well as noteworthy place.
Blatche first mentioned that the overall defensive quality has soared. The main reason is that Tom Thibodeau is in charge of the Bulls, further developing the Bulls' defensive system, and even sacrificing points for defense, using Keith Bogans as the starting shooting guard.
If Sefolosha stays in the Bulls, he will definitely be reused by Thibodeau. It is really more important than working hard for the coach.
The specific performance of the Bulls' defensive improvement is the rebound protection and the number of blocked shots, and the number of fouls has also been greatly reduced.
After listening to Blatche's report, Su Yang guided the four assistant coaches to discuss and soon came up with an offensive strategy for fast break.
It’s not that the fast break is invincible, but that the Bulls’ defense likes to set up first and use different strategies according to different situations. The overall linkage is very strong, but there is no good way for fast-paced, especially Boozer and Rose, who are weak defensively. Location.
After formulating the offensive strategy, Su Yang did not guide the four assistant coaches to discuss it, and directly made a decision without any objection.
At about five o'clock, all the Thunder generals arrived, and Durant and the others were in the locker room guessing what the ring would look like.
Su Yang had seen it in advance, the workmanship of the ring was really not good, and it was not very luxurious. The emphasis on saving money was very in line with the boss Clayton's usual practice, except that there was no special form, and other materials were used instead of genuine gold.
After explaining the offensive and defensive strategies of the game, Su Yang went to the media center to accept pre-match interviews from various reporters.
Talking about how to view Rose's MVP remarks at the end of September, Su Yang replied sincerely: "That is the goal that Derrick Rose should have. It is in line with his talent as the most comprehensive physical fitness point guard in NBA history. appreciate."
The reporter took the opportunity to ask whether Durant would be allowed to play more in the game. After all, it was the first time the two competitors faced off.
Su Yang replied: "I can't pretend to say no, but it really depends on the situation. Winning is the first goal..."
In the blink of an eye, at seven o'clock in the evening, the Thunder held a very luxurious opening ceremony, and the whole team received the championship rings one by one.
In the end, Su Yang spoke as a representative, and specially thanked the three rookies who had been laid off, and also thanked Matthews who left.
The game started immediately, the starting players of the two teams entered the field, and Su Yang waved to Thibodeau from the air.
The Bulls are Rose, Bogans, Luol Deng, Boozer, and Noah.
On the side of the Thunder, considering that the Bulls let Bogans serve as the starting shooting guard and use Sefoloza to match up, the two must stare and stare. Su Yang temporarily arranged for Daquin Cook to start. , Enhance outside offensive firepower.
ESPN broadcast the game, Mike Brin and Van Gundy made the commentary, and the first topic was Cook's three-point ability.
Amidst the cheers from the audience, the Bulls won the jump ball.
Rose dribbled the ball across the center line, passed it to Bogans on the left, strode to the left elbow, and used Luol Deng to cover an inside cut. After Luol Deng finished the screen on the left elbow, he immediately turned and ran into the paint. Set up a wall to block Ibaka and continue to cover.
Boozer took the opportunity to lift from the paint and rushed towards the top of the arc.
It's a pity that the quality of Luol Deng's off-ball screen was too mediocre, and he dismantled it ahead of time. Ibaka easily bypassed the screen to complete the chase.
Seeing that Boozer didn't open the defense, Rose, who was parked in the short corner on the left, quickly turned around and made a cover for Luol Deng in the opposite direction.
Luol Deng quickly ran out of the paint, rushed to the left corner, bent down and passed the ball with Bogans hitting the ground, and raised his hand to feint.
Su Yang watched and laughed on the spot: You, Luol Deng, are not as tall as Adu, so where can you raise your hand and shake someone?
Durant approached calmly to block the shooting space, and seemed not at all worried about Luol Deng's breakthrough, because although Luol Deng is 206 cm tall and barely considered a muscular stick, he likes to use jump shots to solve problems just like Anthony.
But compared to Anthony, Luol Deng doesn't like shooting three-pointers, so he looks for the mid-range area, and it will take many years to listen to persuasion.
Luol Deng subconsciously made a three-threat move, but the rest of the Bulls did not take the initiative to move and cooperate, and had to play singles.
There were only 8 seconds left in the blink of an eye on the offensive time, and Durant even deliberately sideways to give way to the bottom line, but he didn't open his mouth to invite a breakthrough.
Luol Deng finally couldn't bear the contempt, and suddenly started cross-stepping, dribbling the ball with his left hand and striding towards the basket.
Durant followed calmly, took off at the same time as Luol Deng, and ruthlessly grabbed the risk with both hands,
The cheers in the Ford Center suddenly exploded, Durant got the basketball and turned around, and the Thunder started a two-line fast break.
Ibaka received a long pass from the right wing of the frontcourt, took advantage of the momentum and rushed to the basket, leaped high, and scored with a strong dunk.
The two teams switched offense and defense. Rose ran the ball across the center line, raised his hand and passed it to Luol Deng on the right wing, and strode into the paint. Make a short angle on the left, then twist the crotch and run outward.
At the same time, Luol Deng used Boozer's screen to get rid of Durant on the right wing, raised his hand and threw the ball to the top of the arc.
Noah took the ball at the top of the arc, turned around and passed it to Rose, who moved to the left wing in a wide range, and ran to the wall as a cover.
Rose took the ball and started quickly, rushing to the 45-degree three-point line to face Chandler, with a great dislocation advantage.
But Chandler was not afraid to intervene personally, while the rest of the Thunder blocked the paint area according to Su Yang's pre-match arrangement.
Rose made an emergency stop and changed direction to get rid of it, but bumped into Westbrook who was back on defense, and the Thunder suddenly formed a double-team situation.
In a panic, he hit the ground and passed the ball towards the free throw line. Unfortunately, the movement and route were too obvious.
Durant strode for position, snatched the ball straight from Boozer, and headed up the court.
Rose rushed back to defend and intercept, but Durant circled the ball and broke through the top like a guard. Buddy rose up in the paint, ignoring Luol Deng who was trying to block the block behind him, and aimed at the basket with a one-handed dunk. In a trance, it was like the god of war descending to earth, unstoppable.
In the ESPN commentary booth, Van Gundy shouted in surprise: "This offensive and defensive style of play is not like Kevin Durant, but more like LeBron James. Durant's use of this strategy is undoubtedly showing the entire league that he is ready to hit the MVP." Attitude…"
