Chapter 118 The future is yours
Matters related to sneaker endorsements were completely beyond expectations. Su Yang calmed down from his excitement for a moment, and decided to hand over the matter to Schwartz. He focused on the competition and waited until the end of the month to make a final decision.
After making up his mind, he drove to the training base to shoot, focusing on strengthening the quick shot after going around the screen, preparing for a team that is good at team defense like the Grizzlies in the future, and improving his ability to force shots against double teams in the future.
In the afternoon, I rushed to Tucker's residence, admired a few pairs of classic Jordan sneakers, and had dinner and chat together in the evening.
NO.11, the Clippers sit at home against the Wizards.
Before the start of the game, the announcer announced that Su Yang won the best player of the week in the Western Conference, and called on the fans on the scene to contribute an important vote for Su Yang in the upcoming All-Star voting, and strive to elect the top voter belonging to the Clippers.
Tucker gave an opening speech as a player representative, thanking Su Yang and the team for their help.
When the game started, Su Yang found that the Wizards had no defense at all. The guards Randy Foye and Deshaun Stevens even deliberately avoided him. accelerate.
He discussed with his teammates and learned that the Wizards were deliberately playing badly because Arenas was suspended for 50 games. The Wizards had no hope this season. After years of no progress, they decided to officially enter the rebuilding stage.
Randy Foye and Deshaun Stevens are in another contract year, and they are probably not willing to take risks and play hard.
The other two of the Wizards' Three Musketeers, Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler, have been rumored to be traded, and they are probably not willing to take risks and play hard. In addition, the defense is already poor, and they are simply broken.
Knowing the reason, Su Yang was also polite, making 5 of 5 shots and 6 assists in the first quarter.
But he didn't try his best on the defensive end. He reached a tacit understanding with the two guards of the Wizards and exchanged victory for statistics.
In the second quarter of the game, he made 6 of 4 shots and 5 assists without a single turnover.
In the second half, he played casually, with a total of two shots, and all the others assisted Wesley Matthews.
At the end of the game, he scored 26 points and 22 assists, and the Clippers won.
After playing the Wizards, the media began to warm up the game against the Nets. The principle is that the Nets have Su Yang's teammate Yi Jianlian in the national team and his teammate Lopez in Stanford University. This is the first time Su Yang and the two have played against each other in the NBA.
On the afternoon of NO.12, Su Yang invited Ah Lian to the villa as a guest to talk about the future of Chinese basketball.
The next morning, he rushed to the Nets Hotel and had lunch with Lopez.
It's very fun to reminisce about the old days, but when the game started tonight, both sides fought with real knives and guns.
The UAE blocked Randolph for a layup in the first round, grabbed an offensive rebound in the second round, and hit a long-distance two-pointer. Unfortunately, the two guards of the Nets, Harris and Courtney, encountered Su Yang and Day. Weiss defended with iron blood and shot consecutively.
After the first quarter, the Clippers took a 15-point lead.
In the second quarter of the game, the UAE continued its strong performance, helping the Nets stabilize the situation and narrowing the point difference to 12 points.
But I don’t know why, after the halftime break, Ah Lian only took one shot, and Lopez, who is also an insider, only took two shots, one of which was to grab an offensive rebound by himself. After three quarters, the Nets fell behind by 1 points .
The head coach of the Nets, Vandeweghe, came back to his senses in the fourth quarter and hurriedly arranged to play the inside line.
The UAE and Lopez made 7 of 5 shots in total, and the substitute Henry Firth also scored 8 points.
However, there was not enough time, and Su Yang could not prevent Su Yang from scoring from outside, so the gap could not be evened out.
The Clippers finally defeated the Nets 106-94, winning 10 consecutive victories at the start of the game, and firmly sitting first in the league.
Su Yang personally scored 25 points and 11 assists, and continued to average 30+ points per game.
Discussions about how far the Clippers can go are gradually increasing. Many experts expressed their opinions at the EPSN roundtable. Some people think that the Clippers can reach the second round of the playoffs, and some think that they can reach the Western Conference Finals. No one supports winning the championship. .
There is also a point of view that the Clippers have never encountered a strong team except the Lakers. The Lakers still lack Gasol. Although the reversal of the Grizzlies shows that the Clippers have the ability to fight tough battles, the real strength must be through teams such as the Cavaliers and Celtics. detection.
...
After defeating the Nets, the Clippers embarked on a three-game trip.
In the first game against the Houston Rockets, Yao Ming, who was recovering from his injury, came to watch the game.
At the start of the game, Su Yang and Jordan have been doing high pick-and-rolls, making full use of the characteristics of the Rockets' short and slow inside, and completing consecutive lobs.
Jordan couldn't prevent Scola's fantastic footsteps in the paint, and McGrady, who came off the bench, performed bravely. Not only made 5 of 3 shots, but also sent 3 assists. The Clippers fell behind by 1 point in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, everything was business as usual.
But Ariza, who had just become the boss, wanted to prove himself. He didn't hesitate to shoot a three-pointer. The result was 5 of 1 shots as in the first quarter, and McGrady didn't get a second of playing time. The Clippers inexplicably overtook by 9 points .
At the end of the halftime break, Ariza finally held back his temper and played support honestly.
Scola continued his dream dance, which made Jordan dizzy. Fortunately, the Rockets' defensive rebound protection was too poor.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Van Gundy showed no mercy to his old club and still arranged the main players to play.
After the game, the Clippers won 109 to 94, and Su Yang scored 28 points and 13 assists.
After finishing the rocket, the Clippers took a day off and flew to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies' style of play is exactly the same as before, while the Clippers focus on breaking through the ball with one big and four small ones.Su Yang scored 8 points on 6-of-15 shots in the first quarter and allowed Conley to get fouled twice, helping the Clippers gain an 8-point lead.
I thought this would seal the victory. Who would have thought that Jordan would get 5 fouls in just 3 minutes of the second quarter, and the Clippers had to replace Kaman, causing Gasol and Griffin to slaughter pigs in the paint and take the lead. Nothing left.
After the start of the second half, Su Yang scored with all his strength to stabilize the situation, but couldn't stand Gordon and was called fouls consecutively. The Clippers' offensive and defensive quarters were messed up, with as many as 6 turnovers in a single quarter, and entered the fourth quarter with a 10-point disadvantage Contest.
No one in the Clippers was discouraged at the thought of being able to reverse a 21-point deficit before.
But the referee turned his attention to Su Yang. Within a minute, he first called him a dribble violation, and then called him a mobile screen. Van Gundy was so angry that he entered the field to argue. As a result, he was directly expelled, and the Clippers completely lost their momentum of chasing points.
In the end, Su Yangkong scored 36 points and 8 assists, and the Clippers also suffered their first defeat of the season.
They didn't sum up too much, boarded the plane to San Antonio overnight, and challenged the Spurs back to back.
After the game started, the exhaustion caused by the fierce battle with the Grizzlies and the loss was reflected in Jordan and others.
Duncan and Richard Jefferson of the Spurs easily scored 16 points in the first quarter, and Bogans, Ginobili, and George Hill three substitutes took turns to score 17 points, resulting in Su Yang's 14 points in a single quarter. Appears to be meaningless.
In the next two quarters, the Clippers continued to be powerless. Many outside shots were missed. The Spurs defended super strong inside. Jordan and Randolph missed the board several times, and the lag was getting bigger and bigger. .
Van Gundy chose to concede early in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers eventually suffered a two-game losing streak 90-115.
Su Yang scored 33 points and 6 assists. Duncan took the initiative to find him and give him a compliment, telling him not to rush and take his time, and the future league will be dominated by him.Su Yang said that you won the championship in the second year, and Duncan smiled and said that he was lucky.
The Clippers did not rest, and they rushed back to Los Angeles overnight, preparing to face the Denver Nuggets, a potential playoff rival.
