0260 High-end teams often require the simplest operation

tmz was founded in 2005. Its main business is to leak celebrity gossip. It became popular for the first time because it reported that Chris Brown abused his girlfriend Rihanna in February 2009, creating a record of 6.83 million clicks, and then reported on the sudden death of Michael Jackson.

Su Yang is not a person in the entertainment industry, but he was mentioned twice within a few months, which really confused netizens.

tmz explained to the public that he regarded Su Yang as a billionaire, because MT is estimated to exceed $2 billion in the future. I believe that Su Yang will sooner or later be involved in those Hollywood stars, just like PayPal boss Musk, it is inevitable.

The Thunder official quickly came forward to clarify that the Twitter account was not held by the little boss Tom Ward, and there were many people named Tom Ward in the United States, but it was a bit surprising to emphasize that he always believed in Su Yang coaching and would no longer respond to more rumors.

But tmz released the news that Su Yang had just taken office in 2009. Because of his poor record, the Thunder Board intends to fire him.

After seeing the news, Su Yang was too lazy to tell the truth or the false, and he was too lazy to respond. There was no need to worry about where the results were already placed.

On the 23rd, the Thunder flew to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies away, striving to turn the big score in the series into 3-0.

Su Yang said in a dressing room speech before the game: "For us, this kind of away game means that the playoffs officially begin. We need to pay attention to the Grizzlies' tenacious resistance. They will inevitably take the initiative to strengthen the confrontation, and everyone must pay attention..."

The game starts at night.

The Grizzlies' starting lineup made adjustments, and Bathir replaced Sam Young, strengthening their wing defense and three-pointers ability, which is really bold.

The Thunder's starting lineup has not changed, but seeing the Grizzlies adjust their starting lineup, Su Yang changed his countermeasures on the spot, allowing Durant to grab more rebounds, because Battier's age is really average compared to Sam Yang, and he can grab more rebounds.

Amid the cheers of the whole audience, the Thunder won the jump ball.

Then he thought that after a transmission run, Westbrook played pick-and-roll with Chandler on the left, and then made a big breakthrough and passed the ball to the ground. Conley successfully predicted the steal. The Grizzlies immediately launched a fast attack counterattack. Conley used Xiaojia's cover to stop the mid-range shot, but the result was a bang of iron.

The game continued, Durant's first attack ended with the iron, turned around Bathir and made a three-pointer, and then Xiao Jia made a tip-in.

The two teams struggled for more than one minute and forty seconds, only Randolph scored one point through two free throws, and all the players felt stiff.

The Grizzlies rely on their home advantage to not be afraid of fouls, and their defensive actions are particularly strong, and Su Yang also asked the Thunder generals to respond with the same intensity.

After a while, Conley successfully predicted Westbrook's jumping and passing, and almost simultaneously jumping, invisibly showing the family's excellent bounce genes and forcibly destroying the pass. What's funny is that the Grizzlies launched a fast break counterattack, and the Thunder simply defended through the blocking paint area strategy. Bathir didn't shoot three-pointers, Randolph did not dare to force himself, and ended with Tony Allen's three-pointer shot.

But soon, Tony Allen misplaced defense against Ibaka, suddenly slapped the basketball and scored a fast break in his hand.

Su Yang took a look at the statistics and found that the Grizzlies had three steals in the first quarter, so he hurriedly thought about how to improve them.

Then he thought, before he could think deeply, Conley immediately intercepted Westbrook for the third time and scored two points soon.

Facing the Grizzlies' sudden 5-0 lead and Conley's three steals at the beginning of the game, Su Yang knew that Westbrook must have been insufficient concentration and instinctively wanted to replace Westbrook, but it was not yet the normal rotation time, so he deliberately did it a bit hurtful.

After thinking about it over and over again, Su Yang called a timeout first, telling the Thunder generals to stay focused and not be affected by the Grizzlies' home atmosphere.

When the Thunder players returned to the arena, assistant coach Brian complained: "After three days of rest, it was difficult to adapt to the game..."

Su Yang nodded silently in agreement. Sometimes, resting too long is indeed not conducive to finding the state quickly, especially when facing the Grizzlies.

While thinking, the Thunder finally broke the scoring drought with Durant's goal, but there were several consecutive rounds.

In the blink of an eye, Randolph successfully judged that Sefrosa made a pass on the ground, and bent down and made a steal. Tony Allen took the ball nearby and launched a fast attack. The Thunder did not have time to catch up, so they could only watch Tony Allen easily score a layup.

Faced with a 5-14 situation and a 5-game steal, Su Yang completely found the problem and came up with a solution.

"Apart from our poor form, we rely too much on the pick-and-roll that we won in the previous two games. The Grizzlies are deliberately strengthening their defense against the pick-and-roll. The two passes on the ground are enough to see that we need to make an active change next, and the playoffs are played in turn..."

While Su Yang's words, Chandler held the ball with his back and held it high.

That action was clearly intended to support Durant and Westbrook who were doing cross cover, and was a basic Thunder tactic.

Unexpectedly, the moment Chandler lowered the basketball, Gasol directly stretched out his hands to grab the basketball from behind.

Then, Gasol Jr. dribbled the ball all the way to the frontcourt like a point guard, assisting Bathir to follow up.

The three-pointer hit the hollow, and the Grizzlies led the Thunder 17-5. Su Yang stood up and raised his hand to ask for a timeout again.

Compared to the previous suspension, this time it was a short suspension. Su Yang briefly summarized and analyzed it, and then signaled five up and five down.

Anyway, except Westbrook, the other starting players are in poor condition, so I might as well do something and not blame everyone, which will help to be more alert.

He just finished speaking five or five times, and the Thunder generals and the coaching staff were all confused, but they also followed the instructions.

Harden and Green hurriedly played, but because they did not go too far, they still failed to score.

The young Van Gundy, who was in charge of the commentary game, was stunned and said bluntly: "This is definitely a major rotation mistake in Su Yang..."

Su Yang didn't know Xiao Fan's comments, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Instead, he kept commanding on the spot to fight.

The Thunder's second team completely dropped the ball and held the pick-and-roll, and changed to the most familiar cover without the ball, and slowly found its state. At the end of the first quarter, it caught up to 13-29. Although the score difference expanded, there was no embarrassing situation of being intercepted continuously.

By the second quarter, the Grizzlies replaced more substitutes, and Harden led a 13-5 wave to completely reverse the momentum.

Unfortunately, the offensive momentum was forcibly stopped by the Grizzlies using fouls. At the end of the half, the Thunder were still 4 points behind.

The whole team came back from the break at halftime and participated in the third quarter with great enthusiasm, preparing to set up another offensive to set the victory.

Unexpectedly, Chandler was called three fouls in more than three minutes and had to leave the court early for a break. The Thunder's inside offense and defense were greatly weakened, and it was difficult to expand the score through defensive counterattack. After the entire third quarter, he was still 1 point behind the Grizzlies.

The most depressing thing is that Chandler made a comeback at the end of the third quarter, and was called by the referee to move the cover foul again.

Su Yang was so angry that he caught the referee's theory that if he had not been dragged by the assistant coach Brian, he would have almost suffered a technical foul.

In the fourth quarter, the situation did not change. In just five minutes, Jordan Jr. made two fouls, Harden made two fouls, and Green made two fouls, making it difficult for the Thunder's strongest second team to widen the gap, but fortunately, it was successfully restricted from the Grizzlies' scoring.

The game was stalemate until the last moment, Westbrook's big hat Conley's winning goal, dragging the game into overtime.

Perhaps Gasol played for as many as 42 minutes before, Conley played for as many as 41 minutes, and Randolph played for as many as 30 minutes, wasting too much energy, and the failure of the final kill reduced the morale of the entire team. The threats to the Grizzlies on both offense and defense were greatly reduced.

In addition, the referee found out that he only made a foul once. Durant, Westbrook and Harden made 8 of 10 overtime shots in total, and a strong 18-7 wave destroyed the Grizzlies, helping the Thunder win the game 104-94, making the series big points turn 3-0.

In the whole game, the Grizzlies made 8 steals in the first quarter, including Conley 5, but the Grizzlies had only 3 steals in the next three quarters.
