Chapter 137 The Enemy of Life
On the early morning of the [-]th, Su Yang drove to the Clippers training base. After having breakfast and resting, he first watched the Cavaliers' video clip report with Marshal Stevens and others to get a general understanding of the Cavaliers' offensive and defensive characteristics, and then warmed up sports.
After completing the warm-up in 10 minutes, Su Yang started regular shooting training with Jay Chou's relatively unpopular "Flower Sea".
He starts from the bottom corner on the right, five positions outside the three-point line, and hits all ten in each position to be considered a pass.
Every time he takes a shot, he deliberately seeks to improve his speed, trying to reach the level of peak Curry. After all, in NBA-level games, being able to be faster than a defensive player by even one tenth of a second is equivalent to getting a scoring opportunity.
He was in fantastic form, hitting 58 in just 50 attempts to Gordon's 54.
Su Yang pretended to be jealous and proposed to shoot the ball faster than Gordon. It was also five positions outside the three-point line. It was strictly stipulated that the time for each touch should not exceed [-] seconds. The actual purpose was to increase the amount of training.
This method is not a whim, but because the Cavaliers' defense in the paint area is particularly strong, allowing the opponent to score only a league-low 34.6 points per game, just like the night of the Christmas game, and the tragedy of Bynum and Gasol is still vivid in my memory .
The reason why the Cavaliers are so good at defending in the paint is mainly due to the defensive tactics developed by Mike Brown, that is, the defensive tactics learned from Popovich, and LeBron acts as the goalkeeper on the wing.
The Clippers coaching staff's strategy is to score away from the paint. In addition, the Clippers' three-back system is good at shooting, and the Cavaliers' weak defense on the outside. Catching the ball near the three-point line and shooting quickly is almost a perfect restraint method.
Gordon tacitly agreed to the challenge, and competed 50 times in two years, but Su Yang still lost.
The whole team finished shooting training, followed by a defensive formation drill.
Considering that the Cavaliers have the second-highest field goal percentage in the paint, the coaching staff's requirement is to use local three defenses and two defenses to deal with the Cavaliers' pick-and-rolls.
It's not because of LeBron's poor shooting, but LeBron's breakthrough scoring efficiency ranks first in NBA history, and the conversion efficiency of breakthroughs into assists is also very high.
Su Yang quite agrees with this. This is exactly the way the Spurs restrict LeBron in his memory, but fans often misunderstand that LeBron's mid-range and long-range shots are too poor, and because of this, he developed the classic of "LeBron dare not shoot three meters away". rumor.
Once LeBron's breakthrough is successfully restricted, and Mo Williams is an attacking guard, Mike Brown has no tactics other than dead grass superstars, the smoothness of the Cavaliers' operation is basically reduced by half, and the threat is also greatly reduced.
But even if you don't let go, it's not so easy to limit LeBron. There is no player in the Clippers who is close to LeBron in size. If LeBron wants to charge hard, he will probably pay a foul or even an additional penalty.
But basketball games are like this, even if the strongest VS the weakest, there is no way to completely limit it.
After the formation drill was finished, it was nearly twelve o'clock, Su Yang had lunch and drove back to the villa.
Schwartz called as usual to report the progress of several endorsement products, and by the way, reminded to watch the programs that ESPN is broadcasting.Su Yang hung up the phone, turned on the TV and switched to ESPN, only to find that it was LeBron's exclusive interview.
In the program, the reporter’s first question was how to view Su Yang’s lightning-like rise. LeBron shrugged his shoulders and said he was a little surprised, but at the same time he thought it was normal. He said that he had watched Su Yang’s game a long time ago, and he was sure that Su Yang would become a young man. king.
The reporter also asked what he thinks that Su Yang’s All-Star vote is only [-] short of him. LeBron said that it is because the fans like Su Yang’s personal skills and style of play, and also like the changes Su Yang has brought to the Clippers. They think Su Yang is worthy of it. those votes.
The reporter finally asked if he was worried about Su Yang becoming a strong competitor. LeBron said that he was not worried at all, but Su Yang would indeed become a strong competitor, including Kobe, Durant, Howard and other players.
The reporter's question and answer ended, and the program screen jumped to the ESPN studio. The host Molly invited guests Stephen A. Smith and Skype Beasley to express their views on the last question.
Scape said that Su Yang is not enough to become LeBron's competitor, because Su Yang has only played less than half a season, and the data and record samples are too few. LeBron can't call himself a challenger. Today's league is No. 1 is Kobe.
Stephen said that starting from next season, Su Yang will definitely surpass LeBron in terms of personal statistics, team records, and even off-court popularity, sales of jerseys and shoes, but the number of championships is hard to say.
At the end of the show, there was a survey on "Who is the better player, LeBron or Su Yang?" Among the more than 5 votes, LeBron received nearly 60% support. The main reason was that LeBron had a higher ceiling, and Su Yang had not verified Durability.
After watching the entire program, Su Yang understood Schwartz's intentions. He just wanted to arouse his fighting spirit and respond through tonight's game against the Cavaliers. It is best to score 40+ and lead the team to victory, so as to swell the hearts of those people. Face.
He wanted to give it a try, but this kind of thing is rare, and not everyone is as good as Kobe. Before the game, he told Iguodala to score 50 points, but after the game, he really scored 48 points. , It's really capped.
After a short rest, Su Yang went out and drove to the Staples Center for shooting practice again.
In a blink of an eye, it was [-]:[-] pm, season ticket holders entered the arena early, many of them held the banners of 'Vote for Su Yang' and 'Su Yang was elected MVP', and created a rap in support of Su Yang, as if to help him run for president.
Su Yang expressed his deep gratitude, took a group photo with everyone, and then accepted an interview with ESPN reporters.
Perhaps on purpose, the reporters asked almost the same questions as they asked LeBron.
Talking about how to see LeBron continuing to lead the MVP rankings, Su Yang said that it is a manifestation of LeBron's long-term efforts and recognition from the outside world. LeBron is worthy of the MVP, and he is deeply honored to be ranked third.
Talking about how to see the difference of [-] in the All-Star votes, Su Yang said that he is not very interested in participating in the All-Star game, he just wants to make the fans happy, so it doesn't matter what the ranking is, as long as he can be selected.
Talking about whether he is worried about LeBron becoming a strong competitor, Su Yang said that the two will become enemies for life. In the finals of the next ten years, the two may meet several times, and tonight is the beginning of it all.
After the interview, Su Yang went back to the locker room, took a shower, changed his clothes, sat down and began to bind his ankles.
After a while, the media director Craig ran in excitedly and said excitedly: "The outside world regards this game as an MVP competition, which has aroused a lot of discussion, and President Obama has also paid attention to it, and he is going to come to watch the game live! "
Everyone cheered after hearing the words, Su Yang said with a smile: "Then he has to pay more, the difficulty of our security work has increased sharply."
