Su Yang quite understands the concerns of the eight bosses. 72 wins are too rare and are really hard to come by.

For example, in 2008, the Celtics formed the Big Three, and had a record of 22 wins and 3 losses before the Christmas game, and even Texas won all four consecutive away games, tying the Bulls' winning rate for 72 wins at the same time many times, but they lost three consecutive times and ended up with 68 wins.

Su Yang also wanted to tie the record, but did not lose intentionally, nor did he forcefully match, but just played at the normal pace.

Moreover, the stigmatized referee Donagi has long revealed on Twitter that because the ratings of the Thunder game have increased significantly in recent times, the referees' association hopes to be stricter on the Thunder's dictatorship and wants to avoid leaving the outside world with the impression of "helping the Thunder tie the record".

Other teams do not want to be the background board for the Thunder’s impact record, so they naturally have to put in 120% of their energy to fight.

In addition, the schedule is nonsense, which makes the Thunder difficult to play recently, and they lose some games that they would not have lost in the past.

The plane landed in Denver, and the team practiced together the next day. Su Yang told the Thunder that the generals still had a chance to win 72 wins.

Westbrook and others said that it would be the best to achieve it. Anyway, with the Bulls losing, the Thunder has already locked in the first place in the league. They originally wanted to help Durant attack MVP, but the Twitter incident completely lost the possibility of competition, so just play normally.

No. 5, the Thunder challenged the Nuggets away.

Durant made 0 free throws in the first quarter, scoring 12 points and beating Wilson Chandler, helping the Thunder lead by 11 points, but Harden and Green suffered fouls in the second quarter, and the Nuggets recovered 10 points in the substitute, making Durant in vain.

The Nuggets mainly played well, and with its super fast speed, Westbrook induced many gambling steals, and then easily broke through Westbrook, hitting two-pointers with 5 of 7 shots in the second quarter, three of which also caused extra free throws, scoring 15 points.

In the third quarter, Su Yang adjusted his strategy and defended and fought back with all his strength. In order to help Westbrook make up for defense, Sefrosa suffered three fouls in a short time, but Su Yang insisted on not substituting Sefrosa and strangled the Nuggets to attack, leading by 12 points in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Thunder's strong defense destroyed the Nuggets' fighting spirit of resistance and finally defeated the Nuggets by 28 points.

The whole team flew back to Oklahoma overnight and rested for one night, facing the Los Angeles Clippers who lost last time.

Perhaps it was because the league wanted to build stars around the new dunk king Griffin, or perhaps it was because the referees' association was strictly targeting the Thunder, and Iba suffered two fouls in the first quarter, but it did not affect Durant's 6 of 10 shots and scored 13 points in 0 free throws.

In the second quarter, Su Yang instructed the whole team to defend the joint defense, and tried not to attack the inside on the offensive end. He still helped the Thunder lead the Clippers by up to 15 points at the end of the half with the super high shooting percentage of Green, Harden and Livingston's three-man shooting 9 of 14 shots.

During the intermission, TNT commentator Miller complained: "I saw the referee holding the whistle in front several times, but the Thunder did not have physical contact. They did a good job of positioning and running without the ball, and the probability of fouls was extremely low."

Host Ma Wen smiled and said: "Su Yang launched a challenge to the referee system and planned to defeat the unquestionable system. After a year of consideration, the league office has recently given a reply and will hold its first talks in the offseason. If it is suspended..."

The intermission ended and the Thunder and the Clippers continued.

Su Yang continued to instruct the use of joint defense. Sefrosa suffered three more fouls in a single quarter, but she still stayed on the field to fight.

The Clippers head coach Winnie Denagro's offensive ability is the lowest among the head coaches in the league. In addition, the Clippers sent Davis away to exchange for Xiao Mo to play the point guard. The Clippers' team looked at the Thunder's joint defense and could only catch blindly, and they didn't have to fight for fouls without catching up.

At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder led by 22 points, and it was useless to send all the main players in advance by taking a detour.

After the game, the Thunder won 122-104, Durant scored 45 points, continuing to maintain the hope of winning the record.

Su Yang attended a press conference after the game and talked about whether he was worried that the referee was deliberately targeted by the referee because he initiated the challenge of the referee system. Just like Suns boss Savor criticized the referees, the referee association decided to strictly punish the Suns every time.

"If you think I should do more charity activities, there is no need to ask such questions that will be fined..."

Su Yang smiled and said, "But honestly, I don't think so, otherwise we wouldn't be so smooth last season."

No. 8, the Thunder played against the Nuggets at home.

Perhaps he didn't want to see Su Yang become the 72-win coach, Ken Yang? Martin was extremely devoted at the beginning, but unfortunately his efficiency was low. After Su Yang observed and confirmed, he intended to let the Thunder generals induced the Nuggets to pass the ball to Martin, but Martin only made 3 of 9 shots in the first quarter.

After returning to the court in the second quarter, Martin no longer took action so actively, but the Nuggets players were used to finding him, which made the Nuggets' offense not very smooth for several rounds. By the time they finally changed, the Thunder had already established an 18-point advantage.

Seeing that Su Yang was leading so much, he thought he could play normally in the second half, so he didn't make any special arrangements.

Who would have thought that Westbrook, Ibaka and Chandler had 8 fouls in the third quarter, resulting in only 8 points in the close-end. Fortunately, Durant scored 16 points like a super god, helping the Thunder still lead the Nuggets by 5 points in a single quarter.

The Thunder team entered the fourth quarter with a 23-point advantage. Jordan Jr. was fouled twice as soon as he started the game, and he was so angry that he almost ran away.

Su Yang calmly replaced Jordan Jr., emphasizing that the referee was just making a show, and the more competitive the more he competed, the more ruthless he would be. There was no need.

Just like his referee, after Jordan Jr. left the court, the referee became normal for the Thunder, and instead strictly called the Nuggets.

After the whole game, the Thunder won 114-89, only three games away from tying 72 wins, which sparked a lot of discussion.

Media such as espn and tnt have launched special programs, sending a large number of people to film Thunder various competitions and daily life, which has caused Su Yang to go to the bathroom and anytime whenever he is in Thunder-related occasions, there will always be people holding a camera to shoot and record.

The whole team took a day off, flew to Indiana to challenge the Pacers, and won 115-91 with 31 fouls.

Ibaka suffered 5 fouls, but her competitive state was not affected. She was a blessing in disguise. She trained her big scenes in advance and was able to perform her stubbornly, especially her 7 blocks in the game, which was a stable one.

The whole team flew to Sacramento overnight and challenged the Kings back to back. Dewey scored 62 points and won steadily.

After the game, the Thunder's record was 71 wins and 10 losses, and it was only one game away from the record, which once again sparked heated discussion.

The last game of the Thunder's regular season is to face the Bucks at home. The game was not originally scheduled to be broadcast across the United States, but TNT decided to broadcast live temporarily. The Lakers and Mavericks' matches for third and fourth in the Western Conference will be broadcast live by ESPN.
