Chapter 202 Eat, Sleep, Hit the Sun
With wonderful cooperation, the Clippers extended their [-]-point lead until the end of the game.
The two-to-zero situation and the two big victories caused many fans and commentators who originally supported them to quickly turn against each other. There were a lot of comments on social media that praised Su Yang's leadership ability and Van Gundy's coaching ability, which was comparable to praising the peak three-consecutive Bulls.
And Su Yang played 31 minutes and scored 33 points and 9 assists, outperforming Durant with 21 points.
Durant's title of "the most water scoring leader in history" was once again mentioned by the public fans. Many fans claimed that the reason why Durant was able to score was all because of Su Yang's truce in the final stage of the regular season, otherwise there would be absolutely no chance.
Su Yang was also asked at the post-match press conference what he thought of Durant's performance in two consecutive games. He said that it shows that the Clippers' targeted defense has achieved initial results, and he also believes that Durant will be able to complete the adjustment soon.
After finishing the press conference, the Clippers team took the already packed luggage and took the bus straight to the airport.
They flew to Oklahoma overnight, never thinking that they would be harassed by extreme Thunder fans when they settled in the hotel, so they had to temporarily activate Plan B and rushed to another hotel in the middle of the night, but were soon discovered by extreme Thunder fans.
In the end, they could only report to the police. The team's work and rest routine was disrupted, and the video analysis meeting was forced to be cancelled.
The whole team rested for a day, and the joint training resumed on the morning of the 22nd, focusing on controlling emotions and avoiding unnecessary fouls.
The reason for doing that is that the Thunder will go all out when they are back at home and trailing by a big score. When the game starts, there will inevitably be a lot of physical and verbal conflicts. If they are not handled carefully, the rotation plan will be easily destroyed.
The point is, I lost a game because of too many fouls before, so I have to guard against it.
That night, the Clippers were a guest at the Ford Center to challenge the Thunder.
Perhaps it was because they were targeted in the previous two games. After the game started, the Thunder did not arrange for Durant to be the main attacker, nor did they let Harden start the game. Instead, they adopted their most familiar rotation system, starting from the inside.
It's a pity that neither Krstic nor Jeff Green could take on such an important task. The two made mistakes one after another in the face of flanking attacks. The Clippers counterattacked through steals and successfully set off a scoring climax. The score was 15 to 3 in more than two minutes.
The Thunder quickly asked for a timeout. After returning, they did not make any adjustments on the offensive end, but the defensive action was particularly large. Su Yang was deliberately dragged to the ground by Krstic's arm. The referee also pretended not to see it. Other Clippers players had similar experiences.
Faced with such a high-intensity defense, it was really difficult for the Clippers to score, and only scored 10 points with 12 minutes left.
Fortunately, when they were defending, the referee did not double-standard, and many actions did not call fouls. The Thunder were also uncomfortable.
The two teams maintained this rhythm. With 1 minute left in the game, the Clippers still led by 2 points.
Van Gundy requested a timeout for detailed arrangements, but the situation changed suddenly. First, Barnes was called for an offensive foul, and then Jordan was called for a defensive foul. The Thunder gave the Thunder two free throws and an offense. Durant took the opportunity to score 5 points in a row.
Fortunately, Su Yang withstood the pressure and forcibly hit a three-pointer with only four seconds left.
The two places followed up with an overtime match. Su Yang thought for a long time and decided to take over all the Clippers' offenses.
In order to avoid fouls, he asked the whole team to pull away every time. He successfully singled Sefoloza five times in a row through emergency stops and retreats, hesitant steps back, backs and backs, fake shots and real jumps, and up and down steps, which directly shocked Ford. Center Arena.
In the end, Su Yang scored 48 points and 15 assists, leading the Clippers to a 3-0 lead over the Thunder.
After the game, discussions on him and the Clippers exploded on social media. In just half an hour, more than 2 related tweets appeared on Twitter, and there were thousands of related topics on major basketball forums.
Su Mi used "the referee can't stop Su Yang" as a slogan, and carried out arrogant publicity everywhere.
The Clippers had a day off, and on the 24th they visited the Ford Center again to challenge the Thunder.
After the game started, the Thunder still attacked from the inside, but this time there were not so many mistakes, and they directly adopted very strong defensive actions. The Clippers' offensive end was affected, and they fell behind by 12 points after the first quarter.
In the second quarter of the game, as soon as the Clippers started chasing points, Gordon and Davis were called fouls.
Steve Blake, who replaced Davis on the stage, was also not spared. The three were called for 7 fouls in total. After Su Yang reappeared, he was also called for a blocking foul. pull away.
But no one expected that in the last 20 seconds before the end of halftime, Su Yang first hit a three-pointer, then made a steal and layup, forcibly leveling the score in a single quarter.The referee didn't react at all, and couldn't help but look at him more when he left the field, very upset.
Back in the locker room, Van Gundy laughed and said that Su Yang would be targeted, but the whistleblowers would be other people.
As a result, after the third quarter started, whoever cooperated with Su Yang would be called a foul soon.
Jordan screened twice and was blown twice for moving violations, so he had to leave the game early to rest.
Then Gordon was blown into someone with the ball, the Clippers got 11 fouls in a single quarter, the offensive end became fragmented, and fell behind by 9 points in a single quarter. Reverse hope.
Su Yang didn't want to give up. He gave a speech passionately, hoping that the whole team would treat it as a pressure training.
Gordon and others excitedly appeared on the stage with him, but the referee called him two defensive fouls in a row, and instantly misfired.
In the end, the Clippers lost to the Thunder 89-110, leading the series 3-1.
Although they lost the game, the public fans supported them, bluntly saying that the Thunder's victory was all due to the referees, but the Clippers fans were very happy, because they could witness the team's promotion to the second round at home, and the celebration was more convenient than the away game.
None of the commentators thought that the Thunder would have hope of a comeback, but the Clippers seemed to be the winning side.
The Thunder didn't make a sound when they took advantage. Durant said in an interview that he would learn from Su Yang.
The Clippers returned to Los Angeles, and their potential opponents in the semifinals, the Suns, also took a 3-1 lead.
After three days of rest, the Clippers sat at the Staples Center to face the Thunder who came to challenge.
Perhaps knowing that there is a high probability of promotion, there are more stars watching the game than the previous two games. Su Yang took a photo with Stallone and made an appointment to star in a kung fu movie together. He also promised Giants star Barry Bonds to help kick off the new season.
After the game started, without the referee's body protection bonus, the Thunder's defensive actions became cautious and cautious.
The Clippers had no worries about fouls, and the offensive end regained its rhythm and directly staged a wave of 10-0.
The Thunder were unable to resist, and by the end of the first quarter, the Clippers led by 15 points.
In the next two quarters, there was no change in the offensive and defensive comparison between the two teams. The Clippers led by 28 points and entered the fourth quarter.
The Thunder took the initiative to concede defeat, and the moment the game ended, the entire arena lowered celebration ribbons all over the sky.
Su Yang hugged Harden, Westbrook, and Durant one by one, and made an appointment with the three to fight again in the playoffs next year.
Just 10 minutes after the Clippers advanced, the Suns also defeated the Nuggets and successfully met in the Western Conference semifinals.
For the encounter between the two teams, the major gaming companies immediately placed bets, and the odds showed that they were optimistic about the Clippers winning easily.
Fans and commentators have also made predictions, and they are also optimistic about the Clippers winning easily. The main reason is that the Clippers have won three of the four regular season games, and each position has an advantage. It can be said that they eat, sleep and play the sun.
