The reporter only took three minutes to post Su Yang's answer to Twitter and quote what he said at the time.

"A year later, the whole world will be amazed at the speed and courage of the Spurs to rebuild. Popovich is an excellent coach, and RC Buford is an excellent manager. They are not only not interested in giving superstars maximum salary contracts..."

That remark was said when eliminating the Spurs. Although the Spurs only played 8 games in the new season, they did show their strength.

At least, even a fool can see that the Spurs' offensive and defensive strategy has been very different from the past few seasons.

Many fans commented, lamenting that Su Yang fully understood the Spurs and could even accurately predict that the Spurs changed their playing style. They are unique in the NBA, so winning the championship is by no means the leader, and maybe there are secret weapons.

Some fans also thought that Su Yang was just polite at the beginning. The Spurs changed their playing style and happened to catch up with the Spurs' record since the start of the game, so they forced themselves to add a halo, just like Big Mouth Buckley's predictions ten times, and there was always a correct one.

A reporter specifically interviewed how the Spurs viewed Su Yang's remarks. Popovich said with a smile: "Michael Jordan is the goat among the players, and he is the future goat among the coaches. Whether we like him or not, we can't stop him from taking that step. We really play better than the preseason in April, and we just learn from him..."

Popovich's poisonous milk appeared, and all kinds of poisonous milk that were joining in the fun came. Su Yang soon boasted about being a true basketball god.

Su Yang saw the hot discussion on Twitter and reposted it: "I am a loyal fan of the Spurs Tieba Level 15. I have many tactics simplified from the commonly used tactics of the Spurs. I am standing on the shoulders of coaches such as Popovich. I only have gratitude in my heart..."

Anyway, let’s play with each other first.

Early the next morning, Su Yang rushed to the training base and pulled the assistant coaches to have a meeting as usual to discuss how to deal with the Spurs.

"The Spurs' rise in the new season mainly starts from the preseason, resolutely implementing fast defensive counterattacks, and frequently launching high pick-and-rolls, fully allowing Ginobili and Parker to exert their strength, and a large number of weak sides use covers to cut out three-pointers, giving Parker more opportunities to play freely, and allowing Jefferson to re-play the style of a chaotic master in the Nets' period..."

In Su Yang's view, Popovich's several evolutions most reflect his coaching ability is this time. He boldly accelerated the Spurs' team and allowed Ginobili to fully demonstrate what the magic sword style is, injecting new fuel into the old Spurs.

The summary is completed between words.

The four assistant coaches expressed their opinions. After several rounds of discussion, Su Yang said: "From a scout report, we can focus on the game when the Hornets defeated the Spurs. At that time, the Hornets faced a huge disadvantage in the first quarter, but in the end, they reversed and won. That was the only game that the Spurs lost after the start of the game, and it was of great reference value to us..."

The research followed closely, first watching the analysis video provided by the scout team, and assistant coach Brian and Snyder made many speeches.

About half an hour, Su Yang made the final summary: "The Hornets were able to beat the Spurs several times in free throws, 8 behind the frontcourt rebounds, and not leading the three-pointer. This was mainly to put the Spurs inside into foul trouble, and then forced the Spurs to take more three-pointers, causing the Spurs to drop more shooting, which led to a significant decline in the overall shooting rate of the Spurs. We can learn from that strategy..."

The four assistant coaches all nodded in agreement, and the Thunder's main strategy to face the Spurs was determined, and the meeting ended.

Su Yang held a meeting with the trainer department and learned from the team doctor that Green can already play, and Nick Collison can also officially resume confrontational training. If the recovery is good, he can try to make a comeback in the game against the Rockets next week.

After receiving the news, Su Yang simply adjusted the rotation, then rushed to the court to observe Durant and several others shooting training.

Presti found him: "Su, the previous shooting software analysis company, synergy, is willing to authorize us to use it for a year for free, just hope you can find an opportunity to mention them..."

"That's to advertise them."

Su Yang reacted, "I appreciate their exploration of high-tech applications in the field of sports, but they have to add money..."

The free authorization for a year is only 500,000 US dollars, but the long-term value that Su Yang can bring is absolutely dozens of times.

Presti smiled and understood, and chatted about the help the power forward could provide, then turned around and left.

After the Thunder generals finished shooting training, they then performed tactical running, mainly simulated attacking the Spurs inside.

Su Yang divided the 15 players of the team into blue and white teams, making the Blue team focus on limiting breakthroughs and attacking the basket. The frontcourt players were Ibaka, Chandler and Barnes, and the backcourt players were Sefrosa and Livingston, with an average height of nearly 203 cm.

The five main players of the White Team are Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Green, and Jordan Jr. The offensive firepower is super fierce.

Regarding Su Yang's arrangement, assistant coach Brianro was puzzled: "Why isn't the Blue Team Russell? He defends..."

Brian didn't finish his words, and Su Yang responded with a smile, knowing that the second half of the sentence was to say that Westbrook's defense was better.

"Russell's defense is more passionate than the passion type, and requires full investment in large scenes to reach the upper limit. This training environment makes the simulation defense value low, and Sean Livingston is no longer the Sean Livingston used to be, wait and see..."

As soon as the words came, assistant coach Brian raised his eyebrows slightly, and assistant coach Snyder and Mark also showed a little surprise. Mainly in Su Yang's words, he clearly believed that Livingston's defense average was higher, which sounded like the sun rose from the south.

Livingston has been seriously injured before, and has been playing in recent seasons. His personal technical characteristics and physical conditions are not closely related to "good defense". Even in previous training and games, I have not seen any advantages he has shown on the defensive end.

Seeing the reactions of the four assistants, Su Yang did not explain again.

Because they were surprised, it makes sense, after all, Livingston didn't know that he could do a good job of defense now.

After Livingston returned from injury, he has been in many teams in several seasons, and no team has ever expected him to contribute to the defense.

But Su Yang knew that Livingston could do well and that it was this season that he developed a defense, so he strongly recommended signing.

Between thinking, the simulated battle begins.

The coaches all set their sights on Livingston.

The sound of basketballs hitting the floor, the sound of sneakers rubbing the floor, and the sound of players communicating and shouting gradually became a ball. Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the curious expressions of the assistant coaches obviously changed to solemnity, and finally they were frozen into excitement.

Livingston's defensive effect was beyond expectations. Although he was thin, he took the initiative to play his height advantage and frequently rotated in the three positions of point guard, point guard and small forward, helping the Blue Team to strictly limit the White Team's breakthroughs. With his high basketball IQ, he also stood in advance and blocked breakthroughs many times. When he met the opponent's player, he tried to play closely, and decisively avoided it. When he met the opponent's player, he broke through with force and flexibly chased him closely. The key point was that he did not take fake shots and swayed, and always provided long-arm interference to the opponent's player.

When the whistle was roaring, not to mention the four assistant coaches, even the players on the court were surprised and praised them one after another.

Livingston himself was also a little confused, and then smiled and said, "The coach trusts me to defend, I must work hard..."
Chapter completed!
