0113 Actually as stable as an old dog

After fighting the Nuggets, the Thunder got three days off.

Su Yang originally wanted to go out for a tour, but Oklahoma, as a city dominated by the oil industry, lacked entertainment industry. Finally, he stayed in his apartment and tried the recently launched games, playing "Fallout 3" and "Far Cry 2".

Early on the 18th, he was still sleeping and was woken up by the coaching association phone call.

After listening patiently, it turned out that the King announced the dismissal of the head coach Reggie Uthers. The Coaching Association hoped that he would come forward as a representative to issue a statement for Reggie Uthers to express the coaching association's regret (routine) attitude.

He checked the Kings' official statement and combined with relevant media reports, he confirmed that Reggie Uthers was the blame because the Kings' main players Kevin Martin and other players were injured. Due to the schedule, he also faced a strong team like the Lakers twice, and it was normal for a series of losses.

The report also said that the Kings boss Maruf brothers hope that Reje Uthers can lead the team to play a gorgeous offense because fans like to watch that kind of offense. They just don’t say that fans hope to reappear in the grand occasion of 203 years and to rush into the Western Conference Finals.

But the king has long since lost the peak Weber and the peak Peja. Reggio Uthers can't even beat it even if he scratches his head.

At present, the king is like a young man who once fell in love with a goddess. When he met an ordinary girl, he disliked the girl's appearance and an ordinary figure, and he never accepted the fact that he had not seized the opportunity. He also had several relatives who were dragging him down.

To figure out the reason, Su Yang applied the template that he had previously declared for Randy Whitman and sent it out if he made a change.

After the statement was issued, some fans lamented that he was regarded as a despicable person at the beginning of the fourth consecutive defeat at the beginning of the season. The bookmaker set up a bet on the opening of the market, but after the four coaches were dismissed, they continued to take up the position of Thunder head coaching. It was a bit of a thing.

On the 19th, the Thunder faced the Raptors at home.

In view of Bosh's light weight, Su Yang arranged the muscles and sticks Wilcox to entangle Bosh, and temporarily placed Jeff Green as the shooting guard position, facing the three-pointer Jason Capono, who had average movement ability, and adapted perfectly.

After the first quarter, the Raptors were in a mess on the offensive end. Bosh was made by Wilcox and made 1 of 5 shots and made 2 mistakes. Capono and Moon were joined by Green and Durant to score 0 of 5 shots, and the team only scored 17 points.

Raptors interim head coach Jane Triano intends to give up the offensive style commonly used by former head coach Sam Mitchell, and distinguishes it for the sake of distinction, and even restricts players from using ball pick-and-roll that is commonly used in all tactical systems, which is like crazy.

This operation resulted in the Raptors only scored 19 points in the second quarter, and they were 28 points behind the Thunder in the first half.

Su Yang returned to the locker room and briefly reviewed with several assistants. He was stunned by Jane Triano's operation.

After the start of the second half, the Raptors' offensive problem was not resolved, and the Thunder's lead expanded to 37 points.

By the fourth quarter, Su Yang considered that he would fight the Cavaliers the day after tomorrow, so he withdrew his main force in advance.

I thought that Wilcox played too hard and hit the basketball while grabbing the rebound and dislocated on the spot.

The game was finally won steadily, but after the team doctor checked, it was confirmed that Wilcox needed to recuperate for two weeks.

The pressure on the Thunder rotation suddenly increased, and one player who deals with muscles was missing, and his defensive strength was greatly weakened.

But unexpectedly, Presti took the initiative to find Su Yang and said that he should not be under pressure on his record.

Presti said that the management and the board of directors understood the importance of Wilcox to the team's defense very well, just like in the game against the Bobcats, Wilcox suffered a foul, which directly led to the team losing defensive rebounds multiple times.

Su Yang was a little surprised at the management and sensible attitude, but he did not indulge himself and prepared for the battle seriously.

No. 21, the Thunder faced the powerful enemy Cavaliers at home.

Su Yang temporarily arranged for Collison to start, allowing Collison to do his best to stop LeBron from hitting the basket without worrying about fouls.

After the game started, Collison lived up to expectations and toughened LeBron's shooting percentage at the basket to 50%.

However, during the excessive substitute, Collison was limited by his physical strength and could not play for a long time. LeBron firmly wanted to win the game, and had no idea of ​​rest. The Thunder was gradually widened and Su Yang was forced to let Durant play more.

At the end of the half, the two teams tied

But in the third quarter, Deronti West suddenly felt a lot and made 5 of 7 three-pointers.

The Cavaliers took the opportunity to open the score, Durant and Westbrook led the team to chase, and the substitute stage was expanded again.

In the fourth quarter, LeBron started his personal attack mode again, extinguishing the possibility of a reversal at the cost of playing 45 minutes.

In the end, the Thunder lost to the Cavaliers 94-101, and Westbrook scored 24 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds.

Compared to losing, Su Yang was even more depressed that Desmond Mason, a substitute player on the small forward, actually fell down on a layup in the last twenty seconds, causing an elbow injury. According to the team doctor's diagnosis, he needed to rest for at least 10 days.

After a day off, the Thunder flew to Atlanta to challenge the Hawks.

Because Josh Smith returns, Hawks head coach Mike Woodson lets rookie Al Horford serve as the starting center, paired with Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby, as well as defensive champion Marvin Williams, which is considered to be the first five-star Hawks.

Mike Woodson's on-the-spot command is quite mediocre, but he can't stand Horford is a master of support.

The Hawks' entire team is focusing on Horford's offense, and the Thunder's defensive lineup configuration is not up to par, so they can only fight for the offense with all their strength.

But Josh used his weight and strength advantage to bully Green and Joe Johnson used his height advantage to bully Kyle Weaver at the power forward position to bully Damien Wilkins at the shooting guard position.

Durant is not as embarrassed as he faced Marvin Williams before, but his efficiency is average.

The only thing that the Thunder has the advantage in offense and defense is Westbrook, but it cannot support the team's scoring efficiency.

In addition, the substitute lineup was even weaker, and the Thunder eventually lost to the Hawks 99-107, losing two consecutive games.

That night, the team flew to Detroit to prepare to challenge the Pistons away, with three days off.

Su Yang slept until two o'clock in the afternoon. He was thinking about what game to play, but he received a call from the coaching association.

Philadelphia 76ers head coach model Morris Chicks was fired, and the Coaching Association hopes that his representative will issue a statement.

Su Yang did not refuse this opportunity to show his presence without any effort, so he understood the process as usual.

The poor record is the main reason for Morris' dismissal, and the poor record is the low offensive efficiency of the 76ers. Morris has not yet solved it, which has led to the particularly disappointment of the 76ers' management, especially in the context of spending a lot of money to introduce Brand.

Su Yang made a brief analysis and felt that although Morris was indeed not good at guiding the offense, he was still quite unfair, because the 76ers team lacked three-point ability and could not stretch the inside space, so it was very difficult for Elton Brand to score.

After figuring out the reason, Su Yang applied the template that he had previously declared for Randy Whitman and sent it out after the change.

After the statement was issued, fans lamented that it was really not easy for Su Yangeng to settle in the position of head coach of the Thunder.

After all, in addition to six of the head coaches that have been fired this season, there are Suns head coach Terry Porter, Pistons head coach Michael Curry, Grizzlies head coach Mark Jaffaroni, and Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy, which are rumored to be fired.

Seeing those comments, Su Yang wanted to praise himself, but Collison was diagnosed with swelling and pain in his knees.

The team injured three important substitutes in a row, and their offense and defense strength was greatly reduced. He was so worried that he adjusted his rotation again.

On the 26th, the Thunder and the Pistons started playing against each other. Many fans thought that Su Yang would be very panicked, after all, he lost two consecutive games.

Su Yang made every effort to deploy troops, and relied on double-team rotation to cause Hamilton and Wallace to hit power to drop sharply, but the Pistons' defense foundation was still there, and the Thunder's offensive efficiency was also severely lowered. The two teams fought hard until the last 30 seconds and had not yet decided the winner.

At the critical moment, Iverson, who was at the end of his career, showed great power and scored 4 points in a row to help the Pistons overtake.

Only 0.9 seconds left for the Thunder, Su Yang arranged an empty-handed tactic for Westbrook and successfully scored the final victory Pistons.

After the game, many fans said that the Thunder could successfully stop the trend of losing two consecutive games without three important substitutes. Su Yang would at least occupy six successful laborers, believing that the Thunder should give Su Yang a higher salary and raise wages.

The key is that Su Yang is gradually fulfilling his original promise. Jeff Greene has become outstanding in support of three-pointers, Durant's All-Star is basically sure, and the scoring champion is a good chance, and Westbrook can also look forward to the best rookie with many accurate triple-doubles and finals.
