0359 Fight for the coach
Seeing Su Yang rushing towards referee Joe Crawford, the audience on the sidelines hesitated for a while, screaming and cheering excitedly.
"Why not call a foul?"
Su Yang shouted at Joe Crawford, showing a fierce expression on his face, and spreading his arms to make a fierce look.
He deliberately attracted the attention of fans on the scene and wanted to make things bigger. It would be best to cause heated discussions on social platforms such as Twitter, so that fans, players, league officials, and referees all realized that Curry had indeed caused fouls, so don't pretend not to see it.
Beep! Joe Crawford whistled, gestured at Su Yang, gave Su Yang a technical foul, and then said, "If you block the game with unreasonable things, I will consider expelling you from the court. I will only warn you this time!"
Joe Crawford had been unhappy with Su Yang. Even if the coaches in other teams complained about wrong punishments every time they complained about, they just made a more aggressive tone with him. They mainly wanted to show the players and management, and Su Yang really wanted to change the penalty.
The key point is that Su Yang also led the promotion of the penalty challenge system, which attracted many head coaches to join. Many fans and media also believed that it was necessary to establish a referee challenge system. Although it has not been successful in several years, it was truly weakening the referee's power.
"Your yell to Curry is incorrect!"
Su Yangba cannot make things big, but he cannot verbally turn on the AOE mode. At present, it can only be said that Crawford's call against Curry was wrong, not that all referees' call against Curry was wrong. The plan to improve Curry's whistle treatment must be done step by step.
Just as he was about to shout a few more words, assistant coach Mike Brown and McMillan pulled him back together, while Crawford took the opportunity to go down the steps, and the episode ended suddenly, while the Clippers arranged for Paul to perform a technical foul free throw, and the audience booed and disturbed.
Taking advantage of the free throw, Curry walked to the coach's seat and said to Su Yang: "Thank you, coach, I will fight for you..."
"This is my job responsibility..." Su Yang raised his hand and slapped Curry at high high, "I will always support you and boldly perform!"
Su Yang did not be modest, and helping his players get the fouls they deserve was a matter of duty. There were indeed many fouls that happened to Curry without calling, which led to another time and space where Curry averaged only 4.6 free throws per game.
Those 4.6 free throws were the result of the league's need to increase the ratings and relax the slogan standards for Curry.
Before that, Curry averaged 4.0 fouls per game, which was the least among players of the same level. He was always mocked for having no whistle. It was normal for players like Zhu Holiday to publicly stated that many fouls would not be called for Curry.
There is no way, Curry is too strong. If he calls according to normal standards, it will easily cause the game to be broken, or Curry's average score per game soars, which will lead to the collapse of the entire referee's referee system, and the referee will definitely not want to see such a scene.
Given factors such as league balance, off-court sponsorship, and difficulty in referee execution, Su Yang did not want the referee to call all fouls against Curry, but at least it is necessary to ensure that Curry has a normal threat and reduce the frequency of defending man-general moves.
While thinking, Paul steadily hit a technical foul free throw, helping the Clippers catch the score to 20-23. The live announcer immediately followed and made a loud announcement, the Lakers used Dior to replace McRoberts, and the Clippers used Bledsoe to replace Randy Fery
The game continued, and the Clippers kicked off in the backcourt.
Kobe led the defense of Paul all the way, putting great pressure on him. Paul chose to dribble the ball forward with great safety.
Seeing that look, Griffin hurriedly ran to the top of the arc to cover, then quickly took it apart, turned around and continued to cover it on the left.
Butler took the opportunity to move to the right with the help of cover, and the space on the left was left, and Paul hit the ball when he saw this.
The Clippers' offense turned into a single shot in Griffin, but Dior, as a flexibly fat man, took the step first and then snatched up, and took every step.
Griffin's three threats were tested for a long time but he couldn't find a good strategy. He had no choice but to pass the ball back to Paul and provide a cover. Paul took the opportunity to break through from the left sideline to the free throw line, but unfortunately he failed to get rid of Kobe completely, and encountered Ate moving horizontally from the right side to assist in defense.
In a hurry, Paul raised his hand to pass the ball, and Butler, who was 45 degrees on the right, received the ball and took off three-pointers without hesitation.
When! Basketball smashes the basket and hits the iron.
Gasol caught the rebound, landed and turned around and threw it to Kobe, but Kobe immediately made a long pass horizontally, leaving Curry responsible for the advancement.
"Kobe has completely changed his playing style. He has been able to switch freely between strong attacks and assists." Van Gundy sighed in the commentary seat, "Tonight is his MVP night, and I was shocked by the first time he passed the ball to Stephen Curry..."
Mark Jackson, who was a guest commentator, was a little stunned and didn't respond. Curry scored 10 points in a row before, and the explosive power was quite amazing. The coach who rushed towards the referee to ask for a foul for Curry was not himself. The Warriors' deal seemed to be a bit at a loss.
On the court, Gasol took the ball and hit Jordan with his back, turned around and jumped and shot, but Curry picked up the offensive rebound that rebounded far away.
The Lakers reorganized the offense, and Curry quickly found Dior to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, faced the Clippers' double-team, and passed the ball decisively.
Dior easily cut the ball with an empty cut, leaning against Jordan, who was resting on defense, jumped, and flexibly put the ball into the Nets with his right hand.
Cheers were everywhere in the stadium, Su Yang saw that the formation was scattered, and immediately spoke out to ask the whole audience to press forward. Kobe heard the sound and approached Paul.
Suddenly, the whole game was pressing tightly, and the Clippers were not prepared. Griffin hesitated at the baseline for a while, and instead sent the ball to Bledsoe.
The Clippers' crisis was resolved, Paul took the ball and advanced again, and in a blink of an eye, he brought it to the top of the arc. Butler used the ladder cover to get the ball.
Griffin was in the left waist position and back position, but he couldn't beat Dior in the fight, so he could only retreat to the sideline to get the ball.
Unfortunately, Griffin tried his best and was forced to go to the bottom line. He seemed to be lying down, barely throwing and hitting the board.
The basketball slammed the iron and Gasol got the rebound.
Su Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that the Clippers' offense would either keep hitting Butler or Griffin, which was really funny.
On the court, the Lakers started with one inside and four outside formations. Curry crossed the paint area and used Kobe's cover to move left.
Perhaps Curry scored 10 points in a row before, which made the Clippers nervous, and their defensive attention shifted to the left.
Even Butler, who was responsible for defending Kobe, was following Curry to shift his gaze. Seeing this, Kobe took the opportunity to cut into the basket, and Dior, who had the ball at the top of the arc, made a straight pass to the basket. Cheers suddenly broke out in the stadium, and Kobe easily caught the ball and made a layup.
"The Curry that Su Yang said before was once again appeared. This word is really appropriate to describe Curry..." Assistant coach Mike Brown took the opportunity to flatter again, "I feel that Su Yang has created many new words in recent years, such as 3D players..."
"I also borrowed from the Internet..."
Su Yang responded with a smile, and then saw Griffin catch the ball at an open position, but did not shoot from the middle distance, but threw forward.
That was a very unreasonable choice, but considering that Griffin's mid-range shooting percentage was only 25%, it was understandable.
The basketball slammed the iron, Curry took the ball and launched a fast attack, and he was at 45 degrees on the left side of the frontcourt to cooperate with Dior in advance.
The Clippers still adopted the double-team strategy, while Bledsoe was responsible for repairing the defense and dismantling the inward cut Dior, forming a local three-defense and two-defense for a while. However, Curry calmly stopped and jumped, passing the ball hard towards the bottom corner on the left. Where could there be an Ate who got a big gap?
According to the tactical setting, the situation should be that Atai should actively run to the 45-degree position to form a backaction cooperation.
But Arte may have forgotten or just didn't want to move. Fortunately, Curry took a huge risk and completed the pass.
Cheers sounded in advance in the stadium. Arte took the ball and faced Bledsoe who was flying back to defense, and raised his hand and scored a three-pointer.
Swish! The basketball is hollow into the net, 30 to 20.
The referee blew the whistle at the same time, the Clippers requested a pause, and the cheers on the spot climaxed again, with 3 minutes and 57 seconds left in the first quarter.
The Lakers will return to the bench one after another. Su Yang first criticized Atai for not having a running tactic, and then said: "The opponent's playing style is quite rigid. After the timeout comes back, Griffin should still play singles with the ball. We continue to force him to attack at the bottom line..."
The pause ends between words.
The game continued, Paul dribbled the ball to the left wing of the frontcourt, looking for cover to try to break through, and the Lakers decisively switched defense.
It was obvious that Curry was defending, Paul had a long control of the ball but did not break through. It was not until Jordan Jr. stepped forward to build a wall and accelerated the start.
Gasol did not delay the robbery, but just stayed at the free throw line and kept moving in parallel in synchronization, without giving a chance to break through.
That was Su Yang's arrangement. If Paul wants to fight, let him fight. Anyway, it will be more beneficial to the Lakers to consume their energy in advance.
Paul pulled the ball back, changed hands continuously, and rushed to the left elbow area, stopped quickly and raised his hand to shoot.
But Gasol did not jump with him, but just raised his hands to interfere. Paul failed to commit a foul and turned around and threw the ball towards the left wing.
Bradso took the ball against Curry, and took the opportunity to start and rushed to the basket. However, Dior narrowed his ball to block the space under the basket.
There was not much time left for the offensive, so Bledso did not dare to make a strong shot. He could only jump up and twist his body to pass the ball to the right sideline.
With the booing of the whole field, Griffin received the ball and shook Atai, who was making up for defense, took a step into the inside, and hurriedly jumped out and shot from a long shot.
When! Basketball smashes the basket and hits the iron.
"I guessed the result right, but I didn't guess the process right..."
Su Yang sighed, and instead saw Curry breaking through the left with the help of Gasol's cover at the top of the arc, while the Clippers continued to double-team.
Griffin simultaneously added Gasol, who was dismantling the defense and moved down. Curry stopped and turned right when he saw this. He happened to see Dior retreating to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, forming a classic backaction cooperation. Compared with Ate who was motionless before, passing the ball is much more convenient.
The basketball flew towards Dior, and cheers rang out in advance in the stadium. Griffin flew back to defense, and three-pointers entered the net.
"Look at how Dior does..." Su Yang seized the opportunity and reminded Ata again, remembering the running tactics next.
Atai looked at Su Yang without responding and followed Butler all the way to the frontcourt, while the Clippers formed a floppy formation.
Paul was controlling the ball at the top of the arc and observed. Butler made a cover for Bledsoe, and then used Jordan Jr. to cover it up.
Seeing that situation, Paul raised his hand to give the ball, but Arte flew forward and slapped the basketball in Butler's hand.
Cheers suddenly burst out, Atae picked up the basketball and rushed to the center line quickly, and played against Paul in the frontcourt with Curry.
Facing Paul's high-pressure press, Atai calmly passed the ball to Curry. Seeing this, Paul immediately turned around and stood together.
But Curry did not hesitate and took the ball three steps, knocking Paul down with a bang, and at the same time putting the ball into the Nets.
The Clippers bench player stood up and shouted to attack and counterattack. Joe Crawford hesitated for a moment, whistling and calling a blocking foul.
Curry got a chance to get extra punishment. Seeing this, Su Yang stood up and applauded at Joe Crawford: "The punishment is correct!"
As the head coach, you have to have a dynamic game with the referee. In this situation, you should be sure of Crawford's call.
Cheers were heard all over the court, and Curryga made a free throw, helping the Lakers lead the Clippers 36-20, which was a great form.
The Clippers made an attack and conducted a transmission run. Jordan Jr. received the ball at the basket and jumped, and Kobe suddenly braked and nailed the hat.
The Lakers got the rebound and launched a counterattack. Kobe rushed to the top of the arc with the ball, first looking for a pick-and-roll to try a breakthrough, and then transfer to the strong and weak side.
Dior took the ball 45 degrees from the left, turned around and passed it away Gasol who ran to the left waist position, and Kobe simultaneously provided cover for Curry.
In the blink of an eye, Gasol took the ball and hit Jordan with the back, while Curry started from the right wing with the help of Kobe's cover. He pretended to run the top of the arc, but in fact he stopped and rushed to the short corner on the right. Then, he used Atei to completely get rid of Paul's pursuit and go straight to the basket at the bottom line.
Gasol pretended to give the ball to the basket, Curry took the ball and carried the rest of the defense, and took off, wiped the board and made a layup with his backhand.
Bang! The basketball rebounded and entered the net.
Beep! The referee also blew a whistle and blew Bradso to foul the air push, giving Curry an additional free throw opportunity.
The Staples Center cheered everywhere, and Curry stood on the free throw line and made a steadily free throw, helping the Lakers lead 39-20.
In the ESPN commentator's seat, Bolling finished her question. It was Mark Jackson's turn to speak, but he fell silent.
Curry has scored 16 points in a row and has provided several assists. The Warriors' deal is no longer a problem of losing.
When Van Gundy saw his partner silent, he immediately responded: "The Clippers have been beaten to collapse in this game. They are the kind of team that plays very well with their downwind. They need to build advantages through physical talent at the beginning, but unfortunately they cannot do it against the Lakers..."
Between conversations, after the first quarter, the Lakers led the Clippers 44 to 24, and the two teams entered the substitute stage.
However, the Clippers' substitute was awful, and Paul couldn't help but continue to play. After halftime, the Lakers led by up to 27 points.
After returning from the third quarter at halftime, Kobe finally showed his MVP posture and made 5 of 8 shots, completely establishing the victory.
The fourth quarter game turned into garbage time, and both teams fought as a substitute. After the game, the Lakers won 121-93.
Curry scored 29 points and 8 assists in the game, which sparked heated discussions on social media such as Twitter: How much does the Lakers make in the deal between Bynum and Curry? Why is Su Yang so optimistic about Curry, who was seriously injured at the time? What are the differences between the Warriors about Curry's transaction, and who are supporting and opposing them, should anyone come forward to explain this transaction?
But the hot topic has not yet been made. The well-known reporter WOJ revealed that Bynum suffered a knee injury due to bowling...
