0717 Don't think it's stable

Seeing the discussion of praising himself for discovering talents, Su Yang was not too proud. At the press conference, he praised Payton's own efforts more. After the press conference, he hurriedly pulled the coaching team to review the game, trying to find out the omissions and fill in the gaps.

Everyone stood in the video analysis center, saying everything they said, taking turns to express the observed phenomena and thoughts.

"We won too easily, but we made two consecutive mistakes in the second half, and the defense intensity was a bit poor..."

"That's actually quite normal, so human nature..."

"Thunder is weaker. If it is another strong team, if there is such a mistake, it may be tied in one wave..."

Su Yang nodded while listening, and finally decided to find an opportunity to let the team members enter a better state, rather than simply being crazy.

The mentality thing is quite difficult to control. I hope that the players are crazy and not affected by injuries, but also hope that the players will not be so relaxed to avoid sudden difficulties and difficult to adjust. Unfortunately, leading the team is not a 2k game. The players are all living people and their emotions are changing.

After reviewing the matter, pay attention to the situation in the alliance.

On the same night, the Rockets, the number one in the West, beat the Pelicans by 26 points. Paul faced his old club in the playoffs for the first time after leaving New Orleans. Although his signature small-scale mid-range shot was only three against Davis, he completely beat Gentry in terms of tactical reading.

There were two sets of matchups in the East. The Cavaliers' Big Four faced Wall's season-reimbursed Wizards, Butler, Wade and Anthony scored 59 points to win, while the other group of Raptors faced the Pacers, and the young Jokic reversed DeRozan and Lowry.

The Raptors still led by 21 points in the fourth quarter, but Jokic scored two three-pointers and directly led the Pacers to fight back and climax.

After reading the report, everyone in the King's coaching staff sighed.

"NBA offensive changes, it is difficult to win games simply by relying on superstars, and it is too easy to play now..."

"If you want to talk about the NBA games in the 1980s and 1990s and the early 1990s, at that time, due to the defensive rules and the lack of attention to three-pointers, the flex telescopic offense, UCL system and triangular offense were the mainstream, but now all kinds of moves are blooming everywhere..."

"The players are more functional than before. Jokic can actually run like a guard and play catch-up and shoot..."

"But the defensive strategy has not changed for many years..."

"Since the league canceled illegal defense at the beginning of the century, established a three-second zone and banned manual testing, Thibodeau was the last defensive master. He was the first to play the sideline round and promoted the ice strategy, but there is no successor at present..."

"There are only a few moves to defend, and it is estimated that there will be no more changes..."

After a day off, King XVI resumed training.

Su Yang arranged the content, stood on the sidelines and observed, chatting with Mike Broden and others casually, and found that the whole team was quite relaxed, probably because he easily defeated the Thunder in the first game. The players had already established a belief in winning in their hearts, after all, Westbrook.

During the chat, assistant coach Dee Brown suddenly asked: "You said, what changes may happen to the Thunder in the next game?"

Mike Brown immediately responded: "They like to play contrast, and they will probably start the game and force the inside to foul us. When Giannis and Lopez are out of the field, they will set up a small lineup to speed up and grab points. The defensive end will definitely continue to score three-pointers..."

Su Yang nodded frequently when he heard this. The two assistant coaches had already put in the effort to study Thunder offense and defense, so he saved his energy.

But the video still needs to be watched, and you can't relax. If you can't keep the Thunder from suddenly making any tactics, just like the Raptors suddenly used box-1 defensive strategy, the coaching staff was simple to deal with, but the players lacked training and might be confused for a while.

Donovan has a rich tactical reserve. As the coach of the NCAA champion for two consecutive years, how could he not draw tactics? He just coached the Thunder and treated Westbrook as a treasure, leaving Westbrook happy, so the tactics were so simple.

The training ended at 10 o'clock, and a video conference was held as usual.

Mike Brown led the team to the video center and found that the Kings were still laughing, looking unhappy, and immediately complained to Su Yang next to him: "I'm very worried that with such an optimistic attitude now, if you encounter a strong team like the Spurs, you will easily be defeated."

Su Yang chuckled after hearing this: "Don't worry, I will make their condition tighter, just wait and see me operate tomorrow."

On the 17th the next day, the Kings and the Thunder's second game against the Thunder's playoffs leader continued to start at the Golden One Center in Sa City.

The starting lineups of both teams have not changed.

As the announcer shouted, Thunder won the jump ball again, Westbrook excitedly played the trick of jumping up and changing hands under his crotch.

Su Yang was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "Is there any statistics? What is Adams' winning rate of jumping ball?"

Mad, it feels like Adams wins the jump ball every time.

Dee Brown immediately responded: "Let me check it out... Well, according to the data source of the NBA official website and the statistics of data expert nylon   calculus, in the past 20 years, Shaq O'Neal is the strongest jumper candidate in terms of the number of jumpers. He won a total of 815 jumpers, Tim Duncan followed closely, but in terms of jumper winning rate, Steven Adams is only behind Old Sabonis and O'Neal, currently ranks third, with a winning rate of 71.70%, which is actually 1% less than the first."

"Damn it, it's so strong..."

Su Yang sighed from the bottom of his heart, and suddenly thought of another thing, how many rebounds did Adams give Westbrook to Essay?

While thinking, Thunder Oladipo made a three-pointer.

The Kings grabbed the rebound and played a counterattack. As expected, the Thunder frantically scored three-pointers and went online, not allowing the Kings to easily take action and run tactics. In addition, Adams rushed out to defend, giving up protecting the basket and missed two frontcourt rebounds.

But I was really defended.

Turning around with the Thunder counterattack, the situation suddenly became like Mike Brown predicted, playing crazy inside the inside, Westbrook used the pick-and-roll to break through, assisting Gibson, assisting Adams, or letting Adams fight one-on-one, and Oladipo also rushed to the inside.

The king generals were obviously not prepared. Facing high-pressure offense and defense, they either made iron or made mistakes, and had very low efficiency.

In just three and a half minutes, the King was behind 4-12.

Su Yang did not call a timeout according to the plan, and wanted to see the players' self-regulation ability, so that the Thunder could show all the moves as soon as possible, such as Phil Jackson, sitting firmly on the bench, with a calm expression, and also know more about the data of jumping balls.

Data shows that in a group of inside jump ball maniacs won the prize, Guy and Carter ranked ninth and sixteenth respectively.

Yao may have suffered a loss in the wingspan and failed to enter the top 20 in terms of jump ball winning rate. Compared with his 226 cm height, it is really surprising. It is okay for the current player Lopez to rank third, but he can't beat Adams.

With Westbrook fouls once again at the basket and making both free throws, the Thunder took a 20-7 lead and only played 6 minutes.

The king generals obviously became a little impatient, and the completely relaxed expression when they were training completely disappeared, and they were confused.

Westbrook is crazy.

In six minutes, he has 6 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals. His serious MVP strength seems to be invincible.

Su Yang felt that the time had come, so he stood up and gestured to pause. The kings and generals in the field relaxed as if they saw a savior.

The generals returned to the bench and Su Yang put his hands on his hips: "Now, I must repeat and emphasize that you have heard too many times, that is, no NBA team should be underestimated, and the Thunder also want to win, even if they have big weaknesses!

So, next, we must be prepared to completely relax until the end of the game, and don’t think it’s stable!”
Chapter completed!
