0334 The basket at Staples Center is in danger (for the Biru League leader
After a day off, the Lakers embarked on a trip to the East with three consecutive passengers.
Perhaps because of the regret of losing to the Heat, the atmosphere was relatively poor after the whole team boarded the plane, and no one suggested playing poker games.
Key players such as Kobe did not publicly express any opinions on Bynum's failure to keep his promise to no longer violate tactics.
But everyone can see that Kobe is interested in getting away from Bynum, and he is obviously angry.
As the head coach, Su Yang was too lazy to ask Bynum to apologize again, and did not even publicly say that if he did that next time, he would have a DNP. He just made a decision in his heart. However, it seemed that nothing had happened on the surface, but instead he took the initiative to talk about the recently released movies.
Bynum didn't mean to apologize, and it seemed that he was very reasonable. After all, he said that he could make a three-pointer in the open space.
The plane landed in Boston late at night, and the team checked in as usual. Nothing happened overnight. The next day, he rushed to North Shore Garden as usual.
At the pre-match video analysis meeting, Su Yangcai officially emphasized that Bynum's three-pointer was a wrong operation and he could not make the shot like that in the future.
Bynum spread his hands, and seemed a little aggrieved.
The game starts at 7 o'clock. As an inherent repertoire of each season, the Hukai Yellow and Green Battle attracted ESPN to live broadcast across the United States.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck and other local Boston stars came to watch the game, and Tom Brady and his wife also attended.
Considering that Green Kai is Jermaine O'Neal in the interior, against deviations, Su Yang adheres to the principle of better play and arranges the whole team to attack first around Bynum without any prejudice. However, Bynum failed to succeed in two consecutive singles and even suffered a foul.
Lu Kai led by 7-2 with the backhand, and Su Yang had to slightly adjust the offensive focus to allow Gasol to participate more.
But Lukai's defense is very continuation. The Lakers are behind by five points. After catching up with the first quarter, they are still four points behind.
Bynum made 3 of 6 shots in the first quarter, and his performance was quite reasonable, but he returned to the game in the second quarter and was unable to find his form.
Gasol had to take over the heavy responsibility of scoring in the inside again, and was still trying his best to interfere with Garnett on the defensive end.
After the half game, the Lakers trailed Green Kai 45-47, Kobe made 4 of 6 shots and scored 11 points with free throws.
Bynum, who had always been relatively efficient before, made 4 of 11 shots, scored 9 points with free throws, and had 2 fouls.
After returning from the half-time break, Su Yang instructed him to launch attacks from the outside and shoot more shots based on the on-the-spot performance of the players.
Kobe immediately took over the game and quickly led the team to overtake the score, and did not pass the ball to Bynum in the entire third quarter.
Bynum only took one shot in the third quarter, but he still relied on grabbing offensive rebounds. Unfortunately, he failed to hit the score, with 0 points and 3 rebounds.
The situation did not change in the fourth quarter. Kobe still did not pass the ball to Bynum. Bynum relied on himself to grab two offensive rebounds and barely made a foul to score 4 points, but the other data were all zero, and his performance on the court was a bit like he was trying to get someone in the lead, which was very strange.
At the last moment of the game, Gasol blocked Garnett for a layup, helping the Lakers narrowly defeat Green Kai 88-87.
Four players in the team scored in double digits, and Kobe scored 27 points, but his assists were halved compared to the previous one, and his efficiency also decreased significantly.
ESPN invited guests to analyze after the game. Stephen Smith said: "A fool can see it! Kobe was also angry because Bynum's three-pointer shot. He was unwilling to pass the ball to Bynum, so that Boston could easily target it on the defensive end..."
Scott Pippen said: "The Lakers won this game with a difficult victory, and they were exhausted. It was worth a celebration, but I could see that the atmosphere in their team was very strange. If you go to watch the video, you will find that they all intentionally stay away from Bynum..."
ESPN analysis quickly sparked a lot of discussion. Many fans believed that with Kobe's temper, even if Su Yang did not deal with Bynum, he would be unhappy for a long time until Bynum admitted his mistake and re-proved his willingness to play to win the championship.
The outside discussion did not attract internal attention from the Lakers. The whole team flew to New York overnight to prepare to challenge the Knicks back-to-back.
Because there was a Taylor Swift concert at night at Madison Square at the Knicks' home court. The game officially started at 4 pm. The Lakers team had not yet recovered from their sleepiness. They played for five minutes in the first quarter and only scored 4 points.
Seeing this, Su Yang took Kobe and Gasol, allowing Bynum, who had not performed well in the last game to play more, just to win the game.
Then I thought that Bynum could not get any advantage when he met Tyson Chandler. He either couldn't get the ball or had a hard time shooting. In the second quarter, Kobe and Gasol returned to the court, and Bynum made 1 of 8 shots in total, and the scene was really embarrassing.
Fortunately, Gasol showed his power and bullied veteran Jared Jeffries to chase points in a row, and only lost 7 points after the half game.
The entire team of Connex showed momentum, and Anthony competed against Kobe in the third quarter, firmly controlling the 7-point lead.
Kobe did not continue to be angry and took the initiative to pass the ball to Bynum several times, but Bynum was always defeated and all of them were hit.
After the game, the Lakers lost to the Knicks 85-92, and Bynum made 1 of 13 shots in the game, which was quite embarrassing.
At the post-match press conference, when talking about Bynum's 1 of 13 shots, Su Yang said calmly: "Even Michael Jordan only scored two points in the game. Bynum has been very efficient before, and has contributed 13 rebounds and 3 blocks in this game.
Besides, we still fight back to back in this game, and we consume a lot of physical strength, even Kobe made 11 of 29 shots."
Although he was unhappy by Bynum, as the head coach, Su Yang was still unwilling to put too much pressure on Bynum and tried his best to excuse him.
However, the fans didn't think the same way as him. Less than half an hour after the game, Bynum's related discussions became hot searches.
A total of more than 22,000 related tweets were almost all mocking Bynum for being able to bully the weak center team's flawed center. When he met a tough guy like Tyson Chandler, he would not be useful to give him a chance. He even dared to publicly say that there was too little ball rights and needed more.
At the same time, the Lakers team rested in New York for one night and set off to Minnesota the next day to challenge the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves' absolute main player Kevin Love has not made a comeback yet. Coach Rick Adelman continues to use Luke Ridno and match Rick Rubio's magical backcourt lineup. The offense and defense are suppressed completely, and the Lakers easily won another victory.
Bynum made 11 of 15 shots in the game, scored 26 points with additional free throws, and was interviewed by TNT remotely connected after the game.
Barkley asked a bit badly: "After most of the season, what do you think is the biggest difference between Su Yang and Phil?"
Bynum didn't think: "Coach Phil pays more attention to overall strategy, and triangular offense is all about conceptual things, which are more flexible, while Su Yang pays more attention to the degree of execution of details. The tactics are always clearly drawn, and he likes to shout and command on the spot..."
"Then which one do you prefer?" Barkley asked.
Perhaps he finally realized that after Bynum read "Phil", he forced himself to like it and said that the styles were different.
The interview soon became a hot topic on Twitter. Durant did not bother with the big deal when watching the fun, and liked and commented and forwarded three combos.
Su Yang saw those tweets and was worried that Bynum was too stressed, and also reposted it: "I also like Phil. That evaluation is completely correct. I was still in the early days of coaching the Thunder, deliberately learning Phil's coaching method that values overall strategies..."
On the flight back to Los Angeles, Su Yang specifically told Bynum not to care and all goals focus on the championship.
It’s normal to have a little difference. Compared to the Lakers in 2004, it’s really nothing to have a difference between the main players and the coach.
The plane landed in Los Angeles in the early morning. Suyang slept until noon. He received a call from Kupchek and hurried to the training base.
When I entered the general manager's office, I found that the boss Jerry Bass, Jenny and Jim were also there.
"Half an hour ago, we received a transaction request from Andrew Bynum's broker. The Warriors also reached a formal negotiation intention with us. I asked you to come here to hear your suggestions. What kind of chips should we use to make this transaction..."
