Chapter 265 Absolute Core LeBron



Chapter 265 Absolute Core LeBron

On May 27th, Su Yang returned to the Thunder training base after a long absence, and his colleagues extended him a warm welcome.

The coaching staff placed flowers in the conference room in the name of the collective, the scouting department pulled a banner to congratulate him on his discharge, and the trainer team cheered and shouted in the hallway outside the door. The Thunder generals suspended training one after another and interacted with him with high fives, making it look like a hero returning from defending the country.

"Thank you all..."

Su Yang gave a brief speech to express his gratitude, emphasizing that Snyder's substitute coaching was excellent and he was very happy.

Then everyone dispersed, and the topic turned to the finals preparation meeting, and everything continued as usual.

The Thunder's opponent in the finals is the Heat, which was expected at the beginning of the season. According to the schedule, the first game will start on May 31.

Brac, the scouting director, first introduced the current situation of the Heat, and played several PPTs simultaneously to show the data of the Heat's Eastern Conference Finals.

Su Yang listened and watched, and found that the Heat advanced 4-1 as in the original history. Rose also led the Bulls to beat the Heat in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals. Rolled to the end.

The Heat in front of me are much stronger than the original history.

Su Yang was suddenly curious about what had changed. Blatche paused and immediately interjected, "The Heat are much stronger than I thought. I didn't watch their games the previous week. What happened?"

Blatche nodded with a smile: "This starts with last year's Christmas game, when they lost us by 31 points..."

Between the words, Blatche said that since the Christmas game, the Heat believed that the winning rate in the Finals against the Thunder was extremely low, and then gradually optimized it, but the range was not large, mainly to adjust the speed of Bosh's catch and mid-range shots. try.

But at the end of the regular season, the Thunder won the last game against the Heat in the Eastern Conference. This made the Heat completely determined to make a big change. They tried LeBron to focus on offense, Bosh made a false start and played as a substitute, and Wade reduced his ball possession. wait.

Those attempts lasted until the Eastern Conference Finals before they were fully determined. In today's Heat, LeBron is the absolute core, Wade focuses on off-ball while taking into account breakthroughs with the ball, Bosh's false starting belt ensures excessive firepower from the bench, Spoelstra boldly gives Miller and others Design three-point tactics, and no longer blindly flatter the Big Three, but play as you want, with only winning as the highest goal.

Similar things, some were mentioned by the Heat in the pre-finals documentary, some were speculated by the Thunder scouting department, and some were confirmed by the Heat's head coach and players, especially with LeBron as the absolute core, Wade has personally admitted .

According to Wade: I know how strong LeBron is. If we want to win the game, we must let him be in the strongest state. core.

The ultimate reason why the Heat became what they are now is that the Thunder are too strong, making them give up competition within the team.

Anyway, in the face of a powerful enemy, the Heat decided to unite and use all the forces that can help them win.

"Good guy!"

After listening to Blatche's introduction, Su Yang blurted out and sighed: "This is another formidable opponent that we trained ourselves..."

He never expected that the Heat's appointment of LeBron as the boss happened a season earlier, which is equivalent to solving the Heat's biggest problem-who is the boss? Create trouble.

"We are too strong!" Assistant coach Brian joked, "Other teams use us as a reference target and improve in various ways."

Everyone in the office silently nodded in agreement when they heard the words. Su Yang also thought it was right. As the extremely strong defending champion, the Thunder would definitely be targeted in various ways. tower.

"Next, let me introduce the Heat's offensive and defensive strategies..."

Blatche continued to explain, Su Yang listened intently, and found that the Heat's offensive and defensive strategies hadn't changed much, but after LeBron became the absolute core, the offense became more organized, more stable, and more routines, so that they would not be singled out. Policy locked.

As for the Heat's defensive end, they still use their signature pincers and delays, squandering the advantages of James and Wayne's young mobility without regret.

The introduction ended in a blink of an eye, and the teaching assistant team took turns to speak, explaining how to deal with the first match and what needs to be paid attention to.

After a round of speeches, Su Yang finally said: "No matter what, in order to limit the breakthrough of LeBron or Wade, we always need to let go of a Heat player, basically a power forward headed by Bosh, or a guard headed by Mike Miller. …

My idea is to implement the regular season matchup strategy, stick to Bosh or other Heat forwards, and give full play to our ability to protect the frame inside. It doesn't matter even if we are hit seven or eight mid-range shots. "

Snyder and others nodded to express their understanding. Su Yang continued to summarize what needs to be paid attention to on the offensive end, including how to keep Durant from foul trouble, how to keep Harden away from the predicament of CIC, how to better play pass and cut cooperation, and how to control power. less emotional.

Some are inferred based on the existing situation, and some have their own prophetic advantages, because they have seen what will happen when the Thunder and the Heat meet in the finals, especially it is extremely important for Durant to avoid foul trouble. Foul trouble.

Harden is the absolute commander of the Thunder's anxious moments in the game. Those anxious games without Harden are almost lost.

The Heat will definitely discover the importance of Harden, and will naturally find a way to target them. Besides, the Mavericks and Spurs have already done that. The Thunder must prevent such things from happening in advance. If there are some unnecessary supplementary defenses, Harden cannot be arranged. Do.

"That's mainly it..."

At nine o'clock in the blink of an eye, Su Yang announced the end of the meeting, and rushed to the training ground with the coaching staff, and began to explain to the players.

The staff in charge of Thunder's official Twitter took pictures of Su Yang's explanation and posted them on Twitter to announce his heroic return.

That tweet quickly aroused heated discussions. Fans actively discussed the upcoming finals, guessing that Su Yang would have some tricks.

ESPN simultaneously updated the prediction results of 21 experts for the finals, and 20 of them believed that the Thunder would defend the title.

Among the 20 experts in public, 10 of them believed that the final score was a 4-0 Thunder sweep, and they would only play six games at most.

The well-known commentator Stephen A. Smith forwarded the ESPN prediction results: "To be honest, this is the most suspenseful finals since 07. I like LeBron, and I hope it can win the championship, so that there will be more athletes Trying to take control of my career, but in reality, the Thunder are playing against the Heat, like college students playing high school students."

Another commentator Bill Simmons wrote: "The Thunder will sweep the Heat 4-0 in the finals. I say this not because I don't like LeBron eliminating us in the semifinals, but the Thunder coached by Su Yang can be called Perfect team."

The famous Zhanhei SKIP wrote: "LeBron may not have expected that he relied on grouping to form the Big Three, took advantage of Rondo's arm injury and advanced, but met the stronger original Big Three in the finals. There will be no champions."

At the end of the noon training, Su Yang saw all kinds of flattering tweets and Durant's trumpet likes, and felt a little bad.

It's not that he's afraid of being slapped in the face if he doesn't reach the level of praise, but he's worried that the Thunderbolts will underestimate the enemy invisibly.
