Chapter 228
The Spurs' substitutions ended and the game continued.

Su Yang directed the generals of the Thunder to continue to attack the inside, and to use a strong attack method, preferably to create physical contact.

The main Spurs' two inside rookies, Blair and Splitter, both have a defensive style that is more conscious than physical, especially Splitter, although he looks big and clumsy, but his feet are quite nimble Necessary to entangle.

Split can have that kind of ability, mainly because he joined the national team at the age of 17 and helped the Brazilian team win many championships at a young age. He was selected by the Spurs in 07 and has been raised overseas for a long time. 25 years old.

With Su Yang's order, Westbrook is like a go-kart accelerated by turning on nitrogen, sprinting rapidly every round.

After more than ten rounds, the Spurs' backcourt defense and front defense gradually became as fragile as paper.

Splitter defended very hard, and even tried to stand in advance many times. However, the NBA game experience and physical condition are still much worse than Duncan. Facing the same offensive tactics of the Thunder, the effect achieved by Duncan is much worse. .

Conversely, on the offensive end of the Spurs, Blair lacks scoring ability. As a stocky power forward, he lacks mid-range shooting ability just like similar players in the league, such as Green Davis, Jason Mark Hill, Chuck Hayes and others.

The situation in Split was the same, but he was good at slipping the bottom line to defend the layup, but Jr. Jordan was willing to give it a chance easily.

Seeing that it was difficult for the Spurs to score from the inside, Su Yang took advantage of the situation and directed the Thunder to put more pressure on the outside, which made Ginobili and Parker quite uncomfortable. Even Richard Jefferson became confused, and the Thunder gradually established Fifteen points lead.

When the two teams entered the stage of substitute matchup, Su Yang left Westbrook on the court, played fast break with Harden, and used the Spurs to beat the exhaustion of the 76ers back to back, successfully maintained the lead, and expanded after the two main players returned to the game leading edge.

Back from the halftime break, the Spurs' starting lineup was unable to reverse the situation, and Popovich reused Matt Bonner in the fourth quarter.

It's a pity that Matt Bonner met Ibaka who had too long a rest time due to two consecutive fouls in the first quarter and had nowhere to show his strength. Let alone using back action to shoot a three-pointer, it would be difficult to run away , The Spurs' last strategy also failed.

When the final whistle sounded, the Thunder defeated the Spurs 117 to 98, extending their winning streak to the ninth game, tied for first in the league.

After the game, Twitter and other social media sparked heated discussions.

Well-known ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith wrote: "The Thunder have the ability to dominate the league T0. Even if they encounter a starting power forward and leave the field due to a foul in the first minute, they can still execute the game plan without being affected, and they can do that. , Most of the credit should be attributed to coach Su Yang, he has a very fast on-the-spot reaction ability and fully understands the opponent players..."

Columnist Bill Simmons wrote: "Cunning guy! Before the game, he strongly advocated that the Spurs are the strongest team in the West, and then defeated the Spurs to win a big victory. It is nothing more than trying to show his coaching ability by means of comparison. It is disgusting! "

Bill Simmons tweeted, and many fans followed along to discuss whether Su Yang really praised the Spurs.

After discussions and discussions, the mainstream conclusion was finally reached: the praise is sincere, and it is also true to use the Spurs to elevate oneself.

A reporter wanted to interview, but Su Yang didn’t bother to pay attention to it at first, but when he saw the mainstream conclusion, he was a little interested, and replied: “I’m very happy to see that you all come to a non-binary opposite conclusion, no matter what, I support you to continue to discuss like this in the future ..."

In Su Yang's view, most fans like to evaluate players simply by binary opposition, especially when it comes to players like Kobe and LeBron, they either insist that they have no shortcomings, or emphasize that they are all shortcomings. funny.

NO.15, the Thunder flew to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz.

Deron started the game in excellent form. Using the screen to break through Westbrook was as easy as drinking water. Facing the screen and intercepting a decisive three-pointer, he scored 16 points in the first quarter, sent 4 assists, and only made 1 turnover, helping the Jazz take the lead 6 points.

Su Yang turned to use heavy troops in the special stage, relying on the thickness of Harden + Green + Jr. Jordan's lineup, bullying Jazz Fischenko and Price, and all members succeeded in more points. At the end of the game, they overtook the Jazz by two points.

In the third quarter of the game, the Jazz focused on defending Durant, pouring too much attention and manpower, and the arrangement was slightly deformed.

That kind of strategy made Durant hit the iron frequently, but Ibaka and Westbrook were liberated, and the two teamed up to make 9 of 8.

The Thunder entered the fourth quarter with an 8-point lead. Su Yang took the initiative to adopt a conservative strategy to control the situation and secured the victory.

After the game, the whole team prepared to fly back to Oklahoma City overnight, and sat together while waiting for the plane to watch the Hornets beat the Mavericks.

Barnes, Livingston and others all bet that the Hornets will win. The reason is that the Mavericks lost their main center Dampier in the off-season, which caused the Mavericks' strength to be greatly reduced. Since the start of the new season, the two losses are due to too few rebounds. Lost too many points with the inside line.

Su Yang didn't participate in the bet, and boarded the plane after the first quarter, only noticing that Paul made 6 of 5 shots.

When the plane landed in Oklahoma City, he turned on his mobile phone and found that the Hornets lost to the Mavericks by three points. After a closer look at the report and the game process, he found that Paul made 4 of 0 shots and only 3 assists in the final quarter. He was almost defended by the Mavericks. Completely locked up.

"A Pao's scoring ability in the final quarter is really puzzling..."

In Su Yang’s impression, Paul had many games in which he was superb in the first quarter and then stretched his hips in the final quarter. can be distributed reasonably.

Because the Hornets lost, only the Lakers are tied with the Thunder for first place in the league. Fans are discussing who can last the longest.

There are also fans who regret that the Thunder and the Lakers have no match schedule recently, otherwise it must be an extremely good battle.

NO.17, Thunder vs. Rockets at home.

The Rockets, which have officially entered the rebuilding phase, are led by Lowry, Martin, and Scola, with defensive giant Shane Battier, and veteran center, head coach Rick Adelman's favorite, and soon-to-retire Brad Miller, The lineup is a bit shabby.

Su Yang didn't put pressure on them, and the Thunder played freely. They won 5 points in the first quarter, 6 points in the second quarter, and 4 points in the third quarter. The playing time of the main players such as Durant and Westbrook was greatly reduced. With a substitute as the main player, various drill tactics.

The fourth quarter started. Although the score has not yet entered the garbage time in name, the Rockets coach Rick Adelman consciously withdrew all the starters, allowing Ismail Smith and Jordan Hill to play as substitutes, and voluntarily gave up the game. .

At the end of the game, the Thunder beat the Rockets 116 to 99. Six players from the team scored in double figures, and there were three 9 points.

That same night, Bryant scored 55 points on 33 percent shooting, leading the Lakers to a 13-point win over the Pistons.

The Thunder and the Lakers continue to tie for first place in the league.

 Thank you Yiyan for your reward.
