0094 Green Army Buster

Fans naturally don't believe Su Yang's explanation.

But given that it was only a preseason, the fans were not angry, and they only felt that Su Yang had lost the halo of the handsome man.

After the Thunder had four days off after the preseason, Su Yang gave the players two days off before he resumed training. Then he caught Westbrook and watched the video. Each round with a wrong tactic or mistake was brainwashed in the form of ghost animals.

After he did this, Westbrook and others felt that they were not so bored, and they couldn't help laughing.

But after laughing, Westbrook and others realized how outrageous their mistakes were, and they practiced spontaneously.

In the blink of an eye, the Thunder will face the visiting Miwolki Bucks at home in the new stadium in the new season.

Although the original starting point guard Earl Watson has returned from injury, Su Yang still insists on fulfilling his promise. Despite the dissuasion of Mark and Ralph, two assistant coaches, he arranged Westbrook to serve as the starting point guard and directly face Reidno.

In addition to insisting on letting Westbrook start, he also insisted on not taking the initiative to command, and sometimes he would pace the sidelines in a hurry.

The reckless Westbrook is a bit difficult to organize the team's offense, and the other people's active cooperation is also average.

In addition, the Bucks intentionally suppressed the rhythm, and the game saw many embarrassing scenes where the Thunder did not score for several consecutive rounds.

By the end of the first quarter, the Thunder team scored only 14 points and scored only 4 goals in sports games.

Westbrook performed extremely poorly, with 2 turnovers and 2 fouls and 0 assists in a single quarter, and 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal in front.

During the break during the holidays, Su Yang didn't talk about any tactics, just let Westbrook calm down without feeling nervous.

During the substitute stage, the team became Earl Watson's main controller, and Green went to the center to support the axis, and finally got back on track.

With a 15-point disadvantage, the whole team returned to the locker room. Su Yang pointed out to Westbrook what needs improvement in the video.

During the entire explanation, Westbrook raised his head and said nothing, his eyes were full of stubbornness, which was enough to withstand the pressure.

Su Yang saw it and knew that Westbrook could stand it. He continued to point out what low-level mistakes and inefficient choices were made.

He whispered softly throughout the whole process, as if he was talking about something insignificant, but the more he was, the greater the lethality.

To others, it seems that Westbrook can’t play at all, and it’s simply weird to be an NBA player.

As cruel as Snyder, he also hinted several times that he should not speak too fiercely, and a group of players were even more at a loss.

But after the explanation, Westbrook walked out of the locker room with his head raised, without even blinking his eyes.

Perhaps because of that, Westbrook's performance became normal in the third quarter, scoring 6 points and 3 assists.

Unfortunately, the Thunder entered the fourth quarter with a 20-point disadvantage, and Westbrook scored 12 points but failed to reverse.

In the end, the Thunder lost to the Bucks 87-98, and suffered the first defeat in the new season.

In the whole game, Westbrook scored 22 points and 5 assists, and his performance was quite eye-catching, living up to the fourth pick.

However, Durant made 5 of 14 shots, 4 fouls and 4 mistakes, and he scored one, like a Bucks undercover.

Green also performed mediocrely, unable to limit Villanueva, who was in the same position, failed to make a few three-pointers, and failed to make 9 points, 2 assists and 4 rebounds in the game, and lost five turnovers and four fouls. The shortcomings of being positioned as a power forward were fully exposed.

At the post-match press conference, Su Yang praised Westbrook for being able to withstand the pressure and accomplishing great things.

As for Durant's performance deviation, he didn't care at all, and he was sure that Durant could adjust himself.

Green's performance is mediocre, so he needs time to continue practicing until he and other players have increased their firepower.

After two days off, on November 1, the Thunder team arrived in Houston to challenge the Rockets away.

The game situation is almost exactly the same as the preseason. The Rockets put the outside and put it in the inside line. Westbrook, Wilkins, and Kyle were unable to provide punishment. Collison, Jordan Jr. and Petro were bullied in the inside line again.

The only player in the Thunder performs normally is Durant, who almost ignores Atai's defense. He makes 11 of 20 shots in the game, 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 26 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, while the Thunder team only scores 77 points, accounting for more than 30%.

Westbrook had only 3 of 12 shots, and he relied on his scoring and mid-range shots to stop. He was unable to perform under the Rockets' defensive deceleration.

Green didn't suffer much in height and weight because he was against Scola. However, the whole team was not good enough for Gree. He scored 10 points, 2 assists and 6 rebounds in 9 shots. He also had the same mediocre performance, which made Su Yang doubt whether he was wrong in positioning.

However, the loss is the loss, and the entire Thunder team's running tactical ability has been improved again, but many shots have been shot.

Su Yang was interviewed alone after the game, saying that the Thunder now wants to have a child who is not long ago and is growing rapidly every day, which will soon surprise fans and the media, but it is still just a child and will not be too stable.

With two consecutive defeats, the Thunder team ran to Salt Lake City, and after a day off, the Jazz were adjusted.

I don't know why, the Jazz used the strongest defense at the beginning, defending the Thunder in the first quarter, and defending the Thunder 4 of 20 shots in the second quarter, causing the Thunder to score only 29 points in the first quarter and 29 points behind.

After returning to the locker room during the break, the atmosphere of the whole team was like a hundred years of stagnant water, and all kinds of sulking.

Seeing that situation, Su Yang smiled and said, "Don't think this is a particularly difficult time. He is just 29 points behind in the halftime of the regular season. On the road to chasing the championship and becoming a great player, you will also experience the final victory in the playoffs, the lead in the playoffs and the reverse. The experience is only one step away from the championship trophy, and now you are playing basketball."

Perhaps that speech was an inspirational effect. In the third quarter, the Thunder team scored 34 points, and through defense, they only scored 20 points. In the fourth quarter, they also scored 34 points, and finally lost by 7 points.

In the whole game, Durant made 3 of 7 shots in the workplace and 6 of 8 shots in the second half, forcing a 50% shooting percentage.

Westbrook made 0 of 5 shots in the first half and 6 of 9 shots in the second half, which also maintained a 40% shooting percentage.

Green made 4 of 4 three-pointers in the second half, scoring 22 points efficiently and stealing Boozer three times.

In this way, even though he lost the game, the whole team also defeated the decline due to 29 points behind in the first half, and his confidence increased greatly.

In the last game of three consecutive away games, the Thunder arrived in Minnesota and challenged the Timberwolves back to back.

Perhaps because of the previous three failures, the Ren and Du meridians were finally opened, and Westbrook's organizational capabilities were significantly improved.

Green also sent a lot of assists through high positions. The team scored in double digits, and the Timberwolves had been playing hard to distinguish, but due to physical strength, Durant and Green finally lost one after another, losing with a 3-point disadvantage.

The four consecutive losses at the start of the game, and the players performed poorly. The words Su Yang said at the press conference quickly became the material for fans and media to ridicule. Even some Thunder fans believed that Su Yang had previously stole McMillan's achievements.

Considering that the Thunder's next opponent is the defending champion Celtics, many fans firmly believe that the Thunder will suffer five consecutive losses, and even two gambling companies set up gambling at the opening, using when Su Yang was fired as a gimmick to ride on the popularity and attract traffic.

Several famous ESPN commentators and TNT celebrities accused Su Yang of not commanding the sidelines and letting the players explore themselves almost every time they attack, resulting in wasting many simple scoring opportunities and forcibly imitating Zen master Phil Jackson, pretending to be the most arrogant.

Su Yang ignored the outside world's comments and was not discouraged. Instead, he was on the plane back to Oklahoma and excitedly told the Thunder generals: "It's our turn to win. Our lineup and style of play are definitely the nemesis of the Celtics..."
