After three days of rest, Thunder Ten faced 76ers.

Su Yang arrived at the training center at 7 o'clock in the morning and first discussed with the coaching staff how to deal with the evening game.

Judging from the scout report, the biggest feature of the 76ers is that there are many swingers, which is more than the Hawks this season.

Just talking about the official height, Iguodala is 198 cm tall, quite strong, can stop and shoot mid-range shots, can hold the ball and break through, can swing between the shooting guard and the small forward, the key position of the boss, the mentality of an ordinary player, and anything you can do.

There is also team rookie Evan Turner, who is 201 cm tall, has a summer league and preseason, and the first seven games of the regular season. His characteristics are precocious skills, quick movement, high ball quotient, patient and perseverance...

Anyway, Turner is also a swingman who can serve as both a shooting guard and a small forward.

Except for the difficulty in scoring when encountering normal defense, Turner is almost perfect as a second-tier show.

In addition to Iguodala and Turner, players such as Saidis Young, Elton Brand, and Ju Holiday, who are 76ers, can also swing two positions due to their physical conditions or technical characteristics, which is equivalent to a bunch of small leece cards.

As for the lineup configuration, according to common sense, the 76ers should have extremely comprehensive and no shortcomings and will do any way of playing.

But at the end of the scout report, director Blachi wrote: The 76ers guys are good at everything except three points.

"Tonight our main strategy on the defensive end is to put three points into the paint area and force the opponent to take a lot of three points."

With experience in playing against the 76ers in the previous two seasons and repeated confirmation of scout reports, Su Yang only took five minutes to determine the Thunder's defensive strategy. The main reason is that in these two seasons, the core 76ers player Iguodala and others did not change much.

Of course, the strangest thing is that the 76ers have two three-pointers, Andres Noscione and Jason Capono.

But the two did not get much mobile phone opportunities in the preseason and the first seven games of the regular season, which is really puzzling.

There are three-pointers with master players, 76ers don’t play, so there is no extra space for 76ers. Oh, it’s just a play.

"We can try to shoot more three-pointers on the offensive end. Their defense against three-pointers is the worst in the league..." Su Yang made another Thunder offensive arrangement based on his past game experience and scout reports. Assistant coach Mark and others showed doubts when they heard this, and then felt relieved.

According to common sense, teams with a lot of swinging people can rely on their speed advantage to rotate a lot of rotation to prevent the three-point line.

Just like the Thunder itself, when they face the Lakers and the Celtics, they shrink the inside and save for a rapid rotation.

With a 76ers player configuration, other teams in the league should not have allowed an average three-point shooting percentage of 39% last season.

But the fact is that cruel. It was a complete accident that their former head coach Eddie Jordan was able to serve as the head coach. Even the most basic rotation and defense were difficult to arrange properly. Of course, there were also 76ers who were rebuilt and had bad intentions.

The meeting ended in a conversation.

Su Yang left the office and walked to the stadium. Seeing that Durant had started training, he joined in to help pass the ball. He also congratulated Durant on winning the annual cover nomination of "Sports Man", and that cover was Durant's bottom line dunk bynum.

Durant responded with a smile: "I can get that nomination, mainly because you have excellent tactical design..."

The two of them blew up several words in business, and then talked about the topic of the Western Conference Thunder, the Lakers and Hornets maintaining a complete victory, and then talked about the low-key Spurs imitating the crazy fast-paced style of the Suns. Finally, they both sighed that the Western Conference was really exciting.

Other Thunder players arrived one after another, but never thought that Green sprained his right ankle during training and needed to be included in the observation list.

Su Yang found the team doctor and pulled Green. After discussing together, he decided to let Green take a break first.

But because Nixon has been absent for a long time and after Green is absent, the Thunder power forward rotation is a bit tight.

Su Yang immediately found Presti and said that he might need power forward player reserves, but he did not suggest a deal or buy out Morrison Peters, who was difficult to enter the team rotation. Presti would definitely understand that kind of thing, don't overstep the authority.

After chatting with Presti, Su Yang found the coaching staff to adjust his strategy and temporarily decided to put Durant in the power forward rotation, and at the same time prepared to give Barnes more time to play in the position to deal with the 76ers and even the next few games.

At 6:30 pm, the Thunder team completed the pre-match warm-up at Ford Center and returned to the locker room for final preparations.

Su Yang received a call from the League Office staff, saying that the League and the referees association have confirmed through a rigorous investigation that Durant's previous technical foul against the Celtics had been cancelled and no other punishment was imposed.

At seven o'clock, the game officially started.

Durant served as the starting power forward, Barnes served as the starting small forward, and the Thunder won the jump ball and directly grabbed the attack.

Elton Brand serves as 76 starting power forward with 203 cm in 203 cm and weighs 125 kilograms. He is completely unable to match Durant's offensive rhythm. He cannot pose a threat to Durant, and he can only watch the basketball enter the net with hollow.

The 76ers turned around and went to find Brand without any concealment, clearly trying to use his weight and strength to attack.

However, according to Su Yang's pre-match arrangement, Durant changed to a 76er center with only 111kg and a soft style. Although he was 216 cm tall, he liked to float on the outside to support the white center Hawys, while Chandler went to defend Horford.

The defense was replaced, Brand was not advantageous against Chandler, he did not dare to take action in the mid-range shot, and he forced himself to attack the basket and ended up.

Perhaps it was Durant's new defensive center move that made the 76ers team confused, and their offense quickly became messy.

In addition, Thunder resolutely implemented the strategy of blocking the paint area and putting three-pointers, and 76ers began to frequently shoot in the middle.

After the first quarter, the Thunder led 32 to 19, which made the game show signs of early entry into garbage time.

In the second quarter, 76ers head coach Doug Collins took a risk and sent Holiday Road Williams Meeks' three-back lineup, Nosioni, who had taken 201 cm away, served as power forward, and 208 cm genius Sbetts was the center.

The lineup firepower looks quite strong, and Holiday is also very good at organizing offense. Unfortunately, because Lou Wei has just returned from injury and has not found his form yet. After making his debut at the end of the first quarter, he only made 1 of 7 shots, and the defensive end was completely useless.

The front defense of Meeks and Nosioni is also a disaster. The 76ers are busy for five minutes. When Meeks makes 3 of 4 three-pointers, they make the backwards turn into 18 points, and Holiday also makes two fouls due to excessive coordination and backup defense.

Seeing that he was nearly 20 points behind, Iguodala hurriedly appeared in the field to participate, but his desire to score was very low and he always liked to pass the ball.

After the half-time game, the Thunder led by 22 points.

After returning to the locker room after halftime, assistant coach Brian complained: Coach Doug Collins is not suitable for this team...

Su Yang nodded silently to agree. Doug Collins is the kind of coach who is good at leading superstars. For example, in the 1980s, Michael Jordan, Grant Hill in the 1990s, and Doug Collins basically has no plans.

Specifically for the 76ers, Iguodala is the perfect second in command, and the new second-tier No. 1 pick Turner is the best precocious second in command. As for Holiday, who has a little superstar appearance, as the first NBA player born in the 90s, his playing style is more stable than many veterans born in the 80s...

Therefore, Doug Collins is destined to be unable to lead the 76ers to regain their glory, and may even feel inappropriate to each other.

The second half will start soon.

Under the strategy of blocking the paint area by the Thunder, the 76ers made 6 three-pointers in the third quarter, making a total of 1.

The Thunder took the opportunity to expand the lead to 29 points. When the fourth quarter game started, the 76ers directly played in the bench.

Su Yang then sent out a full substitute lineup, and the game entered garbage time, and the Thunder finally won 119-93.

When the 76ers were about to leave, they were confused with the naked eye.

They worked hard enough in training and competitions. They wanted to do a big job in the new season, but they ended up having 2 wins and 6 losses at the start of the game.

Su Yang saw it and felt it was quite a pity.

Since sending Iverson away, the 76ers have always built a team around Iguodala, but Iguodala is only suitable to be the second leader, which has caused the whole team to have no real boss for several years. No one takes the lead in charge, and their spirits will be dispersed as they fight.

If you take the wrong route, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless. The 76ers' management is extremely rubbish and needs Sam Sinki to save it.

...

The Thunder team rested for a day and thrilledly defeated the Trail Blazers with a 5-point advantage at home, successfully expanding the winning streak to eight games.

The Lakers and Hornets also did not lose, so at the post-match press conference, the reporter asked that the team was even more worried.

Su Yang smiled and said, "I am more worried about the acquired opponent Spurs. You may not know how powerful they are now. Coach Popovich has been promoted from a special level to a super level. My previous prediction has come true again..."
Chapter completed!
