On May 27, Su Yang returned to the Thunder Training Base where he had been away for a long time, and his colleagues warmly welcomed him.

The coaching team placed flowers in the conference room in the collective name, and the scout department pulled the banner to congratulate him on his discharge. The trainer team cheered outside the door, and the Thunder generals suspended training and interacted with him in high-fives, making him look like a hero who defended the country was returning.

"Thank you everyone..."

Su Yang gave a brief speech and thanked him, focusing on the fact that Snyder was very good in coaching in the substitute class and was very happy.

Then everyone dispersed and the topic turned to the finals preparation meeting, and everything continued as usual.

The Thunder Finals opponent is the Heat, who was expected at the beginning of the season. According to the schedule, the first match will start on May 31.

Scouting director Blachi first introduced the recent situation of the Heat, played several ppts simultaneously, and displayed various data from the Heat's Eastern Conference Finals.

Su Yang listened and watched, and found that the Heat advanced 4-1 as the original history. Ross also led the Bulls to the Heat in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, but in the next four games, the Heat did not fall behind and then reverse and win thrillingly, but crushed from the beginning to the end.

The Heat in front of us is much better than the original history.

Su Yang was curious about what had changed. Blachi paused and immediately interjected and asked: "The Heat is much better than I remember. I haven't watched their game a week ago. What happened in the middle?"

Blachi smiled and nodded: "This starts with the fact that they lost to us 31 points last year's Christmas battle..."

In between words, Blachi introduced that since the Christmas game, the Heat have been convinced that the winning rate of the Thunder in the finals was extremely low, and then gradually started to optimize, but the amplitude was not large, mainly trying to adjust Bosh's speed of receiving the ball and making the mid-range shot.

But at the end of the regular season, the Thunder Eastern Conference won again in the last three consecutive away matches against the Heat, which made the Heat completely determined to make big changes. They tried to focus on LeBron's offense, Bosh made a fake start and came on the bench, Wade reduced his ball holding, etc.

Those attempts lasted until the Eastern Conference Finals were completely confirmed. Nowadays, LeBron is the absolute core of the Heat, Wade mainly plays without the ball and takes advantage of the ball to break through. Bosh fakes the starting lineup to ensure excessive substitute firepower. Spoel boldly designed a three-point tactic for Miller and others, and no longer blindly flatters the Big Three, but plays as much as he should, with only winning the ball as the highest goal.

Some of the similar things are mentioned by the Heat in the finals warm-up documentary, some are speculated by the Thunder scout department, and some are confirmed by the Heat head coach and players' speeches, especially with LeBron as the absolute core, Wade has personally admitted it.

According to Wade: I know how strong LeBron is. If we want to win the game, we have to put him in the strongest state. I don’t want to consider my feelings and Chris when attacking, so we will choose him as the absolute core together.

The ultimate reason why the Heat has become like this now is that the Thunder is too strong and makes them give up the competition within the team.

Anyway, it is just facing a powerful enemy. The Heat decided to unite and exert all the power that can help them win.

"Good guy!"

After listening to Blachi's introduction, Su Yang blurted out: "This is another powerful opponent we have personally trained..."

He never expected that the Heat had let LeBron be the boss happen one season ahead of schedule, which was equivalent to solving the Heat's biggest problem - who is the boss? Although Bathir and others have not joined the strengthened substitute, it is enough to cause trouble for the Thunder.

"We are too strong!" assistant coach Brian joked, "The other teams are taking us as their reference goal and improving in various ways."

Everyone in the office nodded silently to show their agreement when they heard this. Su Yang also thought it was right. As an extremely strong defending champion, the Thunder will definitely be targeted in various ways, just like the Mavericks and the Suns hoarded the inside and wanted to fight against the Spurs and Lakers' double towers.

"Next, I'll introduce the Heat's offensive and defensive strategy..."

Blachi continued to explain, Su Yang listened carefully and found that the Heat's offensive and defensive strategies had not changed much, but after LeBron took the absolute core, the offense became more organized, more stable, and more routines, so he would not be locked by a single strategy.

As for the Heat's defensive end, they still have signature attacks and delays, and they squander the advantages of young mobile phones between Zhan and Wei without regrets.

The introduction ended in a blink of an eye, and the assistant coach team took turns to explain how to deal with the first battle and what needs to be paid attention to.

After a round of speeches, Su Yang finally said: "No matter what, in order to limit LeBron or Wade's breakthrough, we always need to let go of a Heat player, basically the power forward led by Bosh, or the defender led by Mike Miller...

My idea is to implement the regular season game strategy, insist on giving Bosh or other Heat forwards, and give full play to our inside franchise protection ability. Even if you are hit seven or eight times, it doesn't matter. You must not let the Heat feel at the three-point line."

Snyder and others nodded to express their understanding. Su Yang continued to summarize what needs to be paid attention to on the offensive end, including how to help Durant avoid foul trouble, how to keep Harden away from the dilemma of central investment, how to better play through and cut cooperation, and how to control Westbrook's emotions.

Some are inferred based on the current situation, while others have their own prophet advantages, because they have seen what happens when the Thunder and the Heat meet in the Finals, especially to allow Durant to avoid foul trouble, which is extremely important. Similarly, Harden also allows him to avoid foul trouble.

Harden is the absolute commander of the Thunder game to the critical moment, and those anxious games without Harden are almost lost.

The Heat will inevitably discover the importance of Harden and will naturally find ways to target it. Moreover, the Mavericks and the Spurs have already done so, so the Thunder need to prevent such things from happening in advance. For example, if there are some unnecessary backup defenses, Harden cannot be arranged to do it.

“That’s all…”

At nine o'clock in the blink of an eye, Su Yang announced the end of the meeting and led the coaching team to the training ground and began to explain to the team members.

The staff in charge of Thunder's official Twitter took photos of Su Yang's explanation and posted them on Twitter to announce his hero's return.

The tweet quickly caused heated discussion, and fans enthusiastically discussed that the finals were about to start, guessing that Su Yang would have some tricks.

Espn simultaneously updated the prediction results of 21 experts for the finals, of which 20 believed that the Thunder would defend their title.

In public, 10 people believed that the final score was a 4-0 sweep from the Thunder, with only six games at most.

Famous commentator Stephen A? Smith forwarded the espn prediction results: "To be honest, this is the most suspenseless final since 2007. I like LeBron, I hope it will win the championship, so that more athletes will try to control their careers, but in reality, the Thunder vs. the Heat are equivalent to college students playing high school students."

Another commentator, Bill Simmons, wrote: "The Thunder will sweep the Heat 4-0 in the finals. I don't say that because I don't like LeBron to eliminate us in the semi-finals, but the Thunder coached by Su Yang is a perfect team."

The famous James Skip wrote: "LeBron may not have expected that he relied on group formation to form the Big Three, and made a difficult move to advance while Rondo's arm injury, but he met the stronger native Big Three in the finals, and he would not have a championship in his career."

After the training at noon, Su Yang saw various tweets and also liked Durant's trumpet, which made him feel a little bad.
Chapter completed!
