No. 14, Thunder and Spurs match day.

Su Yang rushed to the ATT Stadium early, and after completing the video analysis, he went to the media center for an interview.

The reporter asked how he viewed Popovich's comments, and he replied that instead of believing Popovich's praise, it is better to believe that those 3A manufacturers will release the game on time, or believe that the Rockets boss is willing to pay luxury taxes to win the championship.

The game started at 7 o'clock, the Spurs grabbed the first attack, Duncan took the ball at a low post and made a single shot misplaced, and swayed twice simply, successfully flew Ibaka who wanted to block the shot, followed by the board and shot and caused a foul, giving the young Ibaka a lesson.

Assistant coach Brian proposed to strengthen Ibaka's single-defense prevention prediction training on the spot. Su Yang replied that it is OK, but you should take it slowly. It is a good thing for Ibaka to like blocking shots. Ibaka should be encouraged to try more now, and don't deny it directly.

Turning around to the Thunder counterattack, Westbrook mainly attacked Spurs rookie De Juan Blair, because Blair had just joined the Spurs and had not yet fully integrated into the defensive system. In addition, he was too heavy, and he was a little confused when he was in the pick-and-roll.

Ibaka took the initiative to cover Westbrook, then dismantled the external bounce in advance, got rid of Blair in two steps, and took the ball and made a mid-range shot based on his height advantage. He was almost completely disturbed and easily sent the ball into the Nets to sweep away the foul.

The Spurs will attack again if they change sides, but they will still use Duncan as the axis.

Su Yang signaled to boldly double-team not to be afraid of three-pointers. The Spurs are Parker Gaborgans in the backcourt, and the three-point level of the two is really average. The small forward is Richard Jefferson, with a three-point shooting percentage of only 31.6%, and he only made 2.3 shots per game.

Duncan successfully split the ball several times, but he was slow to shoot on the outside and was not threatening.

The Spurs instead wanted to cut more space through the off-ball screen, but Ibaka assisted in defense and blocking the shots suddenly became very fierce.

Just like that, after the first quarter, the Thunder led the Spurs 32-21, and the situation was very good.

Unexpectedly, in the second quarter, Green, Harden and Jordan Jr., three important substitutes, suffered fouls, and were tragically attacked by Ginobili, and led the Spurs to a 10-2 wave. After more than five minutes, the lead was gone.

Su Yang was not in a hurry. He knew that several young people had too little experience and had to pay the tuition when they met the old fry and Spurs.

Fortunately, Durant and other main players came back to play and stabilized the situation and led the Spurs by 4 points at the end of the half.

After returning to the locker room during the halftime break, Su Yang focused on analyzing the three Hardens why there were so many fouls. The main reason was that the defensive position selection was too poor, which led to the crowding of teammates between each other, and several times made the Spurs players easily start and break through.

Harden and others said they remembered that when they arrived in the third quarter, they had only one foul for a full twelve minutes.

Unfortunately, the team's shooting feel is average. The Spurs rookie George Hill made 4 of 5 shots with age, and Duncan made another 4 of 6 shots with a storm. The Thunder not only failed to establish a lead, but also fell behind by 6 points.

After the fourth quarter started, Su Yang's command accelerated, Harden, Green and Jordan Jr. hit the Spurs' substitute. When the main players of the two teams came back, Westbrook began to rush hard again. Parker could not defend at all, and the Thunder quickly overtook 3 points.

At the end of the game, Popovich activated the shark-cutting tactic and took turns to foul Chandler and Ibaka.

Most of the two made 1 of 2 free throws, and the Spurs grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack, but the shooting percentage was also low by the Thunder defense.

With the goal of training the players' mentality, Su Yang insisted on leaving the two on the court until there were two seconds left in the game.

In the end, the Thunder defeated the Spurs 101-98, won nine consecutive victories, and continued to dominate the league's top spot.

That night, the team flew to Los Angeles overnight, preparing to challenge the Clippers back-to-back away games.

At noon the next day, Su Yang got up and turned on the TV to watch the news. He found that ESPN was hyping up how good it was, what offensive efficiency was the first in the league, what defensive efficiency was the sixth in the league, and what assists were the third in the league.

The guest led by Stephen Smith, after playing the Thunder Young Man, began to brag about Su Yang, saying that the offensive system he built was a sect and would become a representative figure like Zen masters Jackson and Popovich in the future, and be famous in history.

Some guests also said that he did not create too many new tactics, but instead learned from and improved many of the tactics of several coaches such as D'Antoni, Adelman, Rick Carlisle, etc., and was strong in on-the-spot response and player play style positioning, and was a game-type coach.

Su Yang heard this and called him an expert guest, but he had known how the third young master of Thunder would make a mistake, so he would take advantage of it.

At 7:00 pm, the Thunder and the Clippers game started.

Su Yang was interviewed by Fox and deliberately said that he would thank the league for setting such a good schedule for the Thunder. He played against the Clippers twice back-to-back at the beginning of the season. He could get better relaxation in Los Angeles, and the players also liked big scenes.

That being said, it actually implies that the Clippers are too bad, so let old Dunleavy leave quickly and don’t delay the young people.

Perhaps someone made a message, but after the game started, Old Dunleavy repeatedly shouted and directed the game.

But Gordon and Griffin were injured. The main players of the Clippers were Carman, Thorton and Davis. They could still play on the offensive end, but the defensive end was a mess. Ibaka played Carman one after another, Durant repeatedly beat Thorton, and Westbrook forced Davis.

The Clippers' defense is so poor, 40% of the reason is that their resource allocation is naturally insufficient, and 60% of the reason is that Dunleavy can only yell.

Su Yang did not make any special arrangements, and only replaced the substitute in the middle of the fourth quarter with garbage time, and the Thunder still won a big victory.

In the whole game, Durant made 17 of 25 shots, scored 40 points with only 4 free throws, with an extremely high pure score rate.

At the post-match press conference, the reporter asked Su Yang if he was still angry at the Clippers rejecting him.

Su Yang said that there was no, but when he met the Clippers, he really wanted to do something because the conflict was not rejected that time.

Some fans said they were straightforward and honest about his answer, while some fans said they were petty and became arrogant when they succeeded.

After a day off, the Thunder flew to Florida for a long distance and challenged the Miami Heat first.

Su Yang has not arranged too much. The Heat are just a gangster this season. They deliberately trade O'Neal's contract that is about to expire, and sign a one-year contract like Kun Quentin Richardson, which is obviously waiting for the super free market in the summer of 10 years.

But Pat Riley chose to live a life of waiting to form the Big Three, but Wade didn't think so.

Wade had a rest for one second in the first three quarters, and he carried the Heat alone to drag the game to three minutes left.

Su Yang can only give the greatest respect and activate the BOX1 tactics specifically targeting Wade and forcibly prevent Wade from scoring points.

But even so, Wade still scored a few points in a strong burst, but the rest of the Heat made a shot at an open space.

Seeing Wade breathing heavily, Su Yang sighed in his heart that Riley was really ruthless, and he would force Wade to go to other teams.

In the end, the Thunder defeated the Heat 100-92, and the winning numbers expanded to 11 games, far surpassing the league's second record.

After the game, many media changed their words and no longer called Thunder a dark horse, but instead called Northwest Special Forces.

All kinds of praise are gathered together, mainly because the Thunder can do everything, and there is no team that cannot be conquered.

In addition to media praise, major bookmakers in Alaska have also lowered the Thunder's odds to win the championship, which is truly optimistic that the Thunder has hope of winning the championship. The key is that Saudi rich people will soon place a million dollars bet on the Thunder to win the championship.

Su Yang did not respond, but instead was interested in reporters saying that many Western teams regarded the Thunder as their imaginary enemy in the playoffs.
