Chapter 233
Regarding the breakdown of the first round of contract renewal negotiations between the Thunder and Chandler, Su Yang had expected, and was even certain that they would eventually break up.
Chandler is the most important part of the Thunder's defensive system. In a game without Chandler, even a third-tier team like the Rockets can bite the score, and a game with Chandler is as strong as the Lakers Twin Towers. Difficult to take too much advantage.
What's more, on the offensive end, Chandler can also set up a lot of screens well, and stretch the space by eating pies down.
When the free market opens in the summer, Chandler will inevitably be sought after by a large number of teams. He is at the critical age of 29, and he will definitely seek the largest contract allowed by the CBA terms, which is a five-year contract with a total amount of more than 8000 million US dollars.
The consortium headed by Thunder boss Clayton is particularly stingy with spending money. If Su Yang hadn't strongly requested at the beginning, the deal would have been canceled directly. Naturally, it is impossible to renew the contract with a high salary. The best situation is to play the whole season with mutual respect and get together. So scattered.
On December [-]st, the Thunder team flew to New York to challenge the New Jersey Nets away, but Chandler did not travel with the team.
In the new season, the Nets invited 'Little General' Avery Johnson to come out as their coach. Unfortunately, his LOOP tactics are not as fast as Devin Harris's point guard, so he can't play at all. He can only play basic pick-and-rolls honestly. .
But the Thunder did not have Chandler, Lopez was unstoppable in the low post, and Jordan got fouled one after another defensively.
Su Yang turned to command the Thunder team to attack the Nets' flanks more. Taking advantage of the shortcomings of Anthony Morrow and others' poor defense, they scored frequently in response, but they couldn't solve the problem of Lopez. Last 1 second.
Facing a three-point lead, Su Yang dispatched the strongest perimeter defensive lineup, and also asked the players to make more defensive moves.
I once thought that Anthony Morrow had a perfect three-pointer.
Judging from the replay, the timer started a little slowly, and Morrow's shot was suspected of being timed out. The referee insisted that the three-pointer was valid.
The two teams scored overtime, and the Thunder's momentum was a little weaker, which quickly allowed the Nets to establish a 6-point lead.
At the critical moment, Durant defended against Humphries and scored a mid-range shot. Harden suddenly stopped and ran back, stealing Lopez, and then Westbrook scored 4 points in a row, forcing the Thunder to tie, and finally Block Lopez in one second.
The game entered the second overtime, and the scores took the lead alternately.
Su Yang finally arranged a tying tactic, and Green succeeded, forcing the game into the third overtime.
Many players of the two teams were panting with exhaustion. Only Westbrook became more and more fierce in the battle. Su Yang saw it and decisively instructed the whole team to launch an attack around Westbrook. Afterwards, Westbrook was like a god of war and arranged 10 of the Thunder's 7 shots. Effectively succeed 5 times.
The Nets were directly overwhelmed by Westbrook, and the Thunder finally won 13-124 with Westbrook's 116 points in the third overtime.
In the whole game, Westbrook played 55 minutes, scored 38 points, 10 assists, 15 rebounds, and 3 steals.
Sefolosha played 54 points, and several main players such as Durant and Green also played more than 42 minutes.
After the game, many fans sparked heated discussions on Twitter and other platforms, and the Thunder's 41 free throws became the focus of controversy.
Some people conspired that the league wanted to protect the Thunder so that the Thunder could hit the 72-win record and make big news, but they completely ignored that the Nets also had 39 free throws, and Lopez made 19 free throws alone, causing Jordan to foul 6 times early leave.
The Thunder flew to Toronto overnight to challenge the Raptors back to back.
After the game started, it was difficult for the whole team to enter the state. They lost 19 points at halftime and were deeply troubled by fouls.
Su Yang didn't think much about it, and decisively gave up strategically. The Thunder finally lost to the Raptors 99 to 111, their second defeat of the season.
The whole team flew back to Oklahoma City and rested for two days.
The NBA simultaneously updated the MVP rankings. Durant dropped from the previous first to second, and Rose was promoted to first.
ESPN expert Kevin Pelton said that Durant's ranking drop was caused by too many free throws. He suggested that Su Yang adjust his tactics and fulfill his promise to help Durant hit the MVP with all his strength. Rand hit more.
Su Yang saw Kevin Pelton’s tweet when he was lying down and checked Twitter, and wanted to forward it back, but considering that some reporters and commentators might hate him and Udi for not voting for Durant, he decided not to I ignored it, and backhandedly encouraged fans to vote for Durant.
As for the problem of too many free throws, don't worry at all, as long as you can win the championship, you can offset all the ridicule and doubts.
On December [-], the Thunder played against the Warriors at home.
Chandler was still unable to play, and Jordan continued to start, but against Biedrins, he didn't suffer so much.
After the old Nelson left, the new head coach of the Warriors was Keith Smart, but the tactical system was not updated.
According to Su Yang's pre-match arrangement, the Thunder fiercely grabbed offensive rebounds, and the team grabbed 5 rebounds in the first quarter. They also tried their best to separate the battlefield through regional pincers, forcing the Warriors players to fight more alone, and it was difficult to play the characteristics of quick performance. .
After the first quarter, the Thunder led by 15 points.
In the second quarter of the game, Curry did not rest and successfully bullied Harden's defensive deviation, scoring 14 points personally.
It's a pity that the rest of the Warriors performed too far and failed to narrow the point difference. The Thunder led by as many as 23 points at halftime.
Back from the halftime break, the Thunder's defense relaxed slightly, but the Warriors had difficulty scoring except for Curry and Ellis.
The game continued as Curry and Ellis scored frequently, and the Thunder finally won 124-109.
After the game, Curry scored 7 points with only 39 free throws, winning praise from many fans, but unfortunately he was alone.
Durant and Westbrook made a total of 25 free throws, which were ridiculed by many fans, and the joke of the Thunder's double whistle was brought up again.
At the press conference, the reporter also asked Su Yang why Durant and Westbrook got so many free throws.
Su Yang said with a smile: "Because our style of play is very powerful, opponents can only stop us by fouling us most of the time..."
That answer caused a lot of ridicule.
Su Yang didn't bother to pay attention, and flew to Chicago overnight with the team to challenge the Bulls back to back, while Chandler continued to truce.
Without Chandler as a cover, the Thunder's tactical running and breakthrough to attack the basket were greatly affected. The first two quarters of the game relied on super talent to support it, but the game dragged on to the fourth quarter. The ball failed to score.
The game was dragged to the last moment, Durant failed to pull the lore, and the Thunder lost 90 to 99 to the Bulls, their third loss of the season.
In the morning of the next day, ESPN released a special report, detailing the impact of Chandler's absence, pointing out that if the Thunder want to successfully defend their title, Chandler must be healthy to play, especially in the finals with a high probability of playing against the Heat or the Celtics.
After reading the report, Su Yang agreed with most of the points, but he didn't expect to see the news about his boss Clayton in a blink of an eye.
In an interview with ESPN, Clayton claimed that Su Yang led the Thunder to open up a new era of basketball play, making the game less dependent on big players, especially when Ibaka was the center, the five-outside fast offensive play made people pleasing to the eye.
"You can say a few words less..."
Su Yang complained a lot, and couldn't help guessing that Clayton meant something, after all, it was at the juncture of the failure of the contract renewal negotiation.
Fortunately, the outside world did not know about the failure of the negotiations, and Clayton's speech did not cause much discussion.
On the 9th, the Thunder challenged the Timberwolves in an away game, and Chandler officially came back. He scored 18 points and [-] rebounds to help win the game.
The whole team flew back to Oklahoma City overnight, and as soon as Su Yang got off the plane, he saw WOJ reporting that Thunder and Chandler had failed to negotiate a contract extension.
For a while, the fans talked a lot.
Congratulations Awei!The first triple-double in history!
