22,
The first round of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs between the Warriors and the Clippers was held at the Chase Center in San Francisco.Su Yang deliberately introduced marketing measures such as discounts for old fans, discounts for new fans, half-price for the third ticket, and screening methods such as designated reservations, and successfully attracted many fans who had never entered the Chase Center to watch. He also gave a special speech thanking the fans for their presence Support and stun other team owners.
Su Yang didn't bother to explain. After all, the financial crisis is coming, and it is very important to cultivate more fans' watching habits.
The game starts at 06:30 pm,
Facing the Clippers who were imitating the triangle offense in Dong Shi, the Warriors directly switched defenses and overwhelmed them. It happened that the old Cassel was slow, and Yao could calmly deal with the pick-and-roll. He led 27 to 9 in the half of the first quarter. Simply merciless humiliation.
Clippers coach Dunleavy was not convinced. He seemed to remember the resentment he had for competing with Su Yang for the head coach position of the Warriors. Taking advantage of the timeout, he yelled at the bench and asked Maggette and Quentin Rose to come on the bench. Then fight fiercely.
The voice was so loud that Su Yang could even hear it.
Immediately adjusted the strategy and arranged to form Golden State villain Stephen Jackson, boxing champion Steve Blake, choke master Raja Bell and others to fight against it. As a result, Bell concealed small elbows three times in one round and directly gave Quentin? Ross is dumbfounded,
And Stephen Jackson faced Maggette, who frequently wanted to make fouls, and fouled him very cooperatively. He fouled twice in a row, scaring Maggette from making fouls again, and completely collapsed the Clippers' offense. The bullshit triangle offense completely turned into a one-on-one round, and the bang bang bang bang gave the Warriors a chance to break fast with long rebounds. After the first quarter, the Warriors led 48 to 19.
The Clippers are really no different. The regular season is a team tied for 25 points in the league, and the so-called old-school Dunleavy emphasized that they should not shoot three-pointers casually. As a result, Tim Thomas, a three-pointer who was introduced for 4 million in four years in the summer, hardly played.
If that's the case, Su Yang also gives great respect, especially considering that the captain Elton Brand averaged 2.2 blocks per game, which is quite arrogant, and he specially arranged for Garnett to catch the ball at a high position and play air cuts and long shots. Invisibly prevent Brand from defending Dayao in the paint.
Brand couldn't let Garnett out, so he was forced to dismantle his moves, but his agility was too poor, and he was frantically played with.
After halftime, the Warriors led to 42 points. Su Yang led the team back to the locker room. After a brief analysis and summary, he asked Dazhi and Sun Yue to prepare for the start of the third quarter. Checking in the previous three quarters was meaningless. Now you need to clock in at halftime.
Dazhi and Sun Yue nodded their heads, and then chatted about the Asian Cup. Sun Yue said that Iran has become very strong recently, and what Haddadi claims to be able to fight Dayao.Su Yang laughed out loud when he heard the words, and complained ruthlessly that Haddadi was Dayao's toy.
The second half of the game started quickly,
Big Zhi and Sun Yue's first starts made the Warriors' defense visibly worse, but the offensive end is still sharp. The main reason is that the Clippers' defensive strategy is too stupid. It doesn't matter that they have always been a three-point high-yielding team. Once they encounter a pick-and-roll breakthrough, they will shrink without thinking. Surrounded,
Trying to suppress the passing line, forcing the Warriors to take extremely difficult mid-range shots with an emergency stop, I probably learned from the Lakers and Spurs that "the shortcoming of the Warriors is the mid-range shot with an emergency stop". As a result, the Warriors' player with the ball, Billup Si's passing skills are superb and basically uninterrupted, while Sun Yue is 200+ tall and has a wide field of vision and can pass the ball forcibly. In the end, Prince, Bell and others made open three-pointers one after another.
After three quarters, the Warriors led by 37 points.
The fourth quarter of the game completely turned into garbage time. Clippers head coach Dunleavy tactfully stopped struggling, and Su Yang no longer arranged Dayao and Billups to appear on the stage, and instructed Blake and others to play more dunks. Make fans happy.
However, the Warriors water cooler players are not so good at dunking, so they can only play conservatively with two-handed lobs, which is a bit boring.
At the end of the game, the Warriors defeated the Clippers 121 to 97, leading 1-0 in the first round of the Western Conference series.
Su Yang followed up at the press conference and talked about why it was so easy to win. He thought it was mainly because the Clippers' coach Dunleavy forced himself to abolish his martial arts. Without O'Neal and Kobe Jordan, he had to play some triangle offense. Maybe he was in the Lakers back then. Losing to Zen master in the finals led the team to have inner demons, "The Clippers are a little bit less lucky tonight, and we are a little bit more lucky, that's it..."
The interview soon appeared in the news reports. Commentators and fans from all walks of life joked, saying that according to Su Yang's style in the past, this kind of explanation that the opponent was unlucky was actually despising the opponent's stupidity in his heart, so stupid that he was too lazy to make changes. Much discussion.
On the 23rd of the next day, taking advantage of the easy schedule and the interval between the second game and the second game, Su Yang took a private jet to Shanghai to attend the completion ceremony of the META Group film and television city, and praised China Construction as the fastest in the world. Year,
In China, it was done in just ten months. "In order to thank all the workers for their speed, our group decided to distribute 2 yuan to each worker on the spot!" directly to the hands of workers and friends, so as to avoid middlemen earning plug-ins, and bring Bingbing Hand hair together.
Instead, while there was still time, I had a meal with Dongzi, and discussed the matter of acquiring land in advance to build warehouses across the country. There was no need to worry about money. Su Yang promised that most of it would be settled, and the rest would be left to the people from all walks of life. Dividends pull relationships.
Then flew back to San Francisco, just as the second game started, Su Yang didn't even bother to take the field to direct, and he was at home to deal with the jet lag, and the Warriors won another 34 points. He made 18 of 18 shots, added 14 free throws to score 50 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and sent 6 assists, except for the data monster Chamberlain to achieve the only file.
Originally the whole team was happy, but ESPN fanned the flames, insinuating that the Warriors with Garnett and no Yao Ming are just a strong team for the championship, but the Warriors with Yao Ming and no Garnett swept the Heat 4-0 in the finals, and Garnett can only keep the lower limit , the upper limit cannot be raised.
Garnett didn't care. The whole team rested for one night. On the 26th, they traveled to Los Angeles. Su Yang flew over to participate.
It coincided with Taylor holding a small concert at the Kirby Grand Theater. Su Yang and Beyoncé, as the bosses, took Eminem, Kanye and other stars to support, and invited everyone to have a dinner together to discuss cooperation with Kanye. The matter of the brand, anyway, it is money to be affiliated with a luxury brand like Dior, earning [-] million U.S. dollars a year. It just so happens that Kanye is very popular at the moment but not very popular.
Kanye agreed on the spot, and Eminem also participated. Su Yang suggested that the first generation should focus on the yellow, white and black world alliance, which happens to be three people with three skin colors. After 911 and the Iraq War, it is necessary to call for peace and unity, LOVE&PEACE.
On the 27th of the second day, the Warriors visited the Staples Center and started the third game of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with the Clippers.
The Clippers changed on the spot, allowing Maggette to return to the starting lineup. Seeing that the Clippers hadn't arranged for substitute players to sit on the technical table in advance, Su Yang boldly guessed that the Clippers arranged for at least three of the five starters to play full games. The first quarter, and then desperately fight,
At least it won't be 20+ points behind in the first quarter, so that it can be decent, and give the fans and owner Sterling an explanation.
Su Yang thought for a moment, paused in advance, and arranged for Dayao and the other three starters to end the game. He decided to play with the Clippers on a trip off the peak, mainly to prevent the Clippers from working too hard and inadvertently moving too much and causing injury. Anyway, don't be trapped. Fighting, slowly killing morale.
That kind of operation directly confused everyone in the Clippers. Brand was obviously a little discouraged when he faced Webber who deliberately did not defend. In a blink of an eye, the morale of the Clippers team plummeted. Can only sit and watch lose points.
The Warriors play a key role,
If you want to go all out, I won't defend.
After the first quarter of the game, although the Warriors did not lead by 20+ points, they still led by a full 14 points. They were all played from the bench, and the starters such as Dayao and Garnett followed closely. A bench lineup that Getty doesn't even have,
A wave of 21 to 4 directly collapsed.
At the key scene, the Lakers fans yelled "the Clippers lose quickly" to get mentality, and the Clippers had no normal offensive and defensive rhythm at all in the second half.
The final whistle sounded, and the Warriors defeated the Clippers 119-92, leading 3-0 in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Attending the press conference after the game, talking about why the first quarter was suspended early and replaced the three starters, Su Yang explained with a smile: "Because the great military strategist Sun Tzu said that the strongest way is to surrender without fighting. If the Clippers want to go all out, of course they have to avoid the edge first, after all we have a more ambitious goal, there is no need to take risks to play recklessly for the sake of temporary performance..."
After the third game, Su Yang took a day off according to the schedule. Su Yang led the team to go to Malibu Beach to play. He reminded that the first round is the easiest, and the subsequent second round will be very difficult, whether it is against the Spurs or the Suns. It is best to follow up with the Western Conference Finals If you can play against the Mavericks, it will be more difficult if you play against the Lakers, so everyone can relax and play while there is no pressure now. I can only say that the West is too outrageous.
The Spurs will be ranked fifth. Fortunately, the Spurs' opponent in the first round is the Suns who have not consumed much energy. No matter what the result is, both teams will consume a lot of energy. The Warriors can pick up a big deal in the second round. Fortunately, At the beginning of the season, I had a tight grip with the team.
Back at the hotel at night, I received a call from Ted Turner, the owner of the Eagles, the founder of CNN, and a member of the board of directors of Warner Group, "I heard that Billups in your team is going to jump out of the contract and hit the free market. If he chooses to repay You, agree to a sign-and-trade, then I hope we can trade you, we have a lottery pick from the Pacers, what do you think?"
Su Yang heard the words and thought back a little. The first round that Turner mentioned should be the result of Al Harrington's trade, and the record of the Pacers this season is ranked tenth from the bottom in the league. Draft picks, no good players can be selected,
But the Eagles can satisfy Billups' big contract, and it happens that a group of young people need a veteran like Billups to lead the area. If Billups is willing to sign first and then switch to the Eagles, he will basically earn a lottery first Wheels are fine,
The key is to see what Billups thinks. Anyway, Denver temporarily has Iverson and he can't go back to his hometown. Most of it depends on money and the city.
"Okay, after the finals are over, I'll discuss it with him in detail, and you can also show a sincere recruitment plan..."
"Are you so confident that you can reach the finals?"
"Of course, I'm the god of basketball..."
On the 29th of the second day, the league announced the Most Improved Player. Danny Granger won 30.32 votes, and Kevin Martin, who narrowly beat the Kings, won 30.06%. Congratulations, and then accepted an interview with the TNT team reporter, praising Granger will make progress and become an All-Star player, the sky is his limit.
Then at [-] pm, the Warriors will fight the Clippers again.
Clippers owner Sterling personally supervised the game, but what was particularly embarrassing was that there were more than 9000 people at Staples, at least 8000 of whom were obvious Lakers fans, and thousands of people remained neutral to watch the show. There are very few boat fans. The cheers for the Warriors can be heard during the game, and there are a lot of boos when the Clippers players make free throws. The scene is quite funny.
Everyone in the Clippers, except Kassel, had poor psychological quality. They couldn't bear the humiliation at all. They were eager to prove it, but the fight became more and more chaotic. The Warriors took advantage of the opportunity and led by 32 points after three quarters. They were very angry. Sterling left early.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Clippers 119 to 81 and swept the first round of the Western Conference playoffs 4-0 to advance to the second round.
Attending the press conference after the game, Su Yang said with a smile that he would rather play the Spurs or the Lakers in the second round: "The sun, definitely the sun, we have played against the Spurs too many times, and we don't want to fly as far as San Antonio place to go away…”
The team flew back to San Francisco instead,
Su Yang took the time to check the Spurs and the Suns. It was temporarily tied 2-2. The difference in the four games did not exceed 5 points. The physical confrontation between the two teams was very intense, and the physical energy consumption was obviously high. Basically, it would take seven games to decide the winner. The Warriors have at least eight more days off.
After a little consideration, Su Yang's entire team, from the players to the video analysts, will take a four-day holiday and let them fully relax.
The whole team cheered and celebrated when they received the news. Su Yang also took advantage of his spare time to fly directly to Beijin, and once again attended the completion ceremony of the META Group film and television city under his name. He gave a speech to thank and encourage China's construction. General communication, reminding to pay attention to the subprime mortgage crisis caused by the chaos of the US financial industry. It is necessary to prepare early to avoid being harvested for no reason.
By the way, he also registered a media company in Beijin to make preparations for the follow-up YouTube, Twitter and the Chinese version of INS.
After four days of busy work, I flew back to San Francisco. The Suns and the Spurs tied [-]-[-]. It was supposed that Game [-] would be a decisive battle, but the Spurs’ starting small forward Bowen Guillotine Marion was suspended for one game, resulting in the Spurs’ offensive and defensive strength in Game [-]. Great reduction, basically cool.
The key point is that Marion also suffered a concussion because of Bowen's guillotine criminal, who sprinted his head at a high speed and hit the floor. He was put on a stretcher and carried out on the spot. .
After watching the news, Su Yang arranged for video analysis and a team of assistant coaches to study the Suns' style of play, and he was sure that the Spurs would lose.
Various tasks followed, and in a blink of an eye, on May 1.9th, the league announced that the Mavericks player Dirk Nowitzki won the most valuable player in the regular season, and Garnett lost again with [-]% of the votes. Many commentators and fans thought it was Losing to Garnett is not the boss,
Because even if Dayao is injured, the boss of the user is obviously Dayao, causing many people to ignore Garnett's contribution, which in turn leads to Garnett's second votes being relatively small, and it is true that he lost the MVP because of the second vote as before. Tragic.
Su Yang arranged an interview right away, claiming that Garnett is the real MVP, and that he did not do enough publicity.
Garnett himself was only sad for a while, obviously prepared for such a result, mainly before the regular season, he only won the first place in the MVP ranking list at the beginning of the season, and he fell behind Novi in every subsequent period. Cisky came in second.
Su Yang invited Garnett to a dinner at home alone, and while watching the Suns play the Spurs, they talked about future trends. Garnett bluntly said that he has decided to sign first and then trade in the offseason, and he wants to go to the Supersonics to find Ray Allen as a team, or with Billups went back to the Timberwolves together,
But I will consider the needs of the team, "I'll go to the Sonics anyway, the Timberwolves and the Eagles are fine, just look at the deal.
I just want to rush for an MVP. "
Speaking of that, Su Yang also said bluntly, "Considering multiple factors such as the boss and the city, I think your best choice is to go to the Supersonics, but then you can't be with Billups, or you can Try, come with me when the time comes, convince the owner of the Sonics to sign and trade Lewis away, and then trade you and Billups at the same time, I will not ask too much..."
While chatting, the tragic Suns beat the Spurs, won the tiebreaker by 26 points, and advanced to the second round to join the Warriors.
Su Yang personally drove Garnett back to the apartment in the city, and then called Ballmer, proposing a plan to send Billups and Garnett to the Sonics together, reminding him to clear the salary space quickly, anyway, even if Clean up the space when you don't need it.
Ballmer was ecstatic and made up his mind on the spot, even if he got the No. [-] lottery, he would trade it to the Warriors.
Also attach at least two first rounds.
Su Yang was also ecstatic, basically earning Durant for nothing, and by the way cleared up space to ensure that the Warriors can regain the championship after a year off.
