At 5 p.m. on the 7th, the fourth game of the first round of the West between the Lakers and the Jazz will be about to begin.

The Lakers team took a bus to the Energy Plan Arena and conducted pre-match shooting warm-up training as usual. The atmosphere of the team was very calm.

If it were other teams leading 3-0, they would probably feel a little excited, but the Lakers team seemed to treat the regular season.

There were only a few reporters and photographers on the sidelines, and they all looked like they were just doing routine work, without any excitement at seeing big stars, and had no expectations for the upcoming game, which made the Lakers no desire to perform.

In Su Yang's opinion, if the photographer Kaka shoots hard and the reporter takes turns to interview, the whole team will have to practice shooting like Zhao Jiwei, and then Zhou Qi complains: Why haven't you seen you work so hard? When the media comes, you can practice shooting...

While thinking, assistant coach Mike Brown said: "Looking at the media reports, the East has two three to zero, and many players interviewed news, while we are two three to zero in the West has no unnecessary news. The Spurs have always been low-key, but we are Los Angeles."

Assistant coach Snyder and others nodded, all with the same questions. The Los Angeles Lakers are a super traffic team. If they were in the draft, the number of news reports that the Lakers lost the draft might exceed that of ordinary lottery.

But this time the Lakers led the Jazz three to zero, and the number of related news is far lower than the Heat three to zero Knicks, and it is even worse than the Pacers three to zero Magic, making it seem like the Heat and Pacers are the favorites to win the championship, and there is nothing wrong with the Lakers.

"Because we are a top-notch team, the other teams have excellent results in leading the opponents with three to zero, while we are leading the opponents with three to zero, because the playoff rules are set for only three to zero, just like both the poor student and the top student have the most full scores."

Su Yang smiled and said, "But I believe that the media will report us in another form, perhaps with three-point explosive power..."

After the words came to an end, while the assistants were thinking, Su Yang turned to Curry and shouted, indicating that he had something to talk about.

Seeing this, Curry put down the basketball and ran to the sidelines, lifted up his jersey and wiped the sweat from his cheeks, and asked with a smile: "Hey, wow?"

Su Yang handed a towel to jump: "After discussion, our coaching staff unanimously decided to activate you from the injury list tomorrow and let you play in the fourth game against the Jazz, but you must start from the substitute stage. Are you ready?"

In fact, it was Su Yang's personal decision to arrange Curry to play in the fourth game, but he temporarily brought all the coaching staff members.

It’s not that I’m worried that there will be problems and no one will take the blame, but that this kind of thing will be better for Curry to feel more support.

"Of course!" Curry nodded quickly, "I have been looking forward to this moment for a long time. This is my first time playing in the playoffs!"

"Then I will remove your daily watch list later and let you change to a state of play, go..."

Su Yang smiled and waved his hand, thinking that in the original time and space, Curry had 12 games in two rounds of the playoffs in his first playoffs, averaging 23.4 points and 8.1 assists per game. His performance was even better than the regular season, and he also had a shocking performance of 22 points in a single quarter. After playing the Spurs, Popovich praised Curry and made him think of Jordan, but he didn't know what kind of performance Curry could play for the Lakers in this time and space.

However, the Lakers' current lineup is much stronger, and Curry will face less defensive pressure and will be easier to perform well.

At half past six o'clock, Su Yang rushed to the media center for pre-match interviews and only saw a few resident reporters from major media.

It is probably because there is no suspense in the series. Apart from those well-funded big media, the small media are too lazy to waste costs.

ESPN reporter Lindsey asked first: "We noticed that Stephen Curry has been removed from the daily observation list, and his current state has been changed to be able to play. Will he play in today's game? What are your expectations for him to play for the first match for the Lakers?"

Su Yang smiled and said, "I look forward to seeing any performance of him. It would be better if he could hit a three-pointer. This would prove that my judgment was not wrong, and it would further enhance our deterrent ability on the outside, allowing the Jazz to expand the defense area..."

I originally wanted to answer in a normal way to avoid media and other teams paying attention to Curry too early and causing unnecessary trouble, but Su Yang also knew that Curry's playing style was destined to trigger discussions between fans and media, so it would be better to have a taste of himself first.

The interview ended and the game started immediately.

Perhaps after three consecutive games without resistance, he finally thought that he should try to change the team, or perhaps it was Josh Howard's three consecutive starts, with only 22 points in total. The Jazz head coach finally Tyrone? Corbin finally let Favors replace Josh? Howard serves as the starter, and Gordon Hayward transferred to the shooting guard position, causing the Jazz's starting five-man team to increase their average height sharply.

But the sharp increase is only at the level of an ordinary team. As a power forward, Millsap is relatively short, which is worthy of Voss' height bonus.

Key Jazz starter Devin Harris, with compatibility deviations with Gordon Hayward, cannot do 11=2.

Amid the cheers of the whole court, the Lakers won the jump ball and launched the first attack, running directly into a misplaced position. Then Gasol used his height advantage to play Millsap back and easily scored two points. He turned around and interfered with Harris' layup, and the influence on both ends of the offense and defense was full.

The Jazz may be facing pressure to eliminate, making all kinds of mistakes and irons, such as not finding a basket to buy a pass.

However, on the defensive end, the Jazz's position choice is quite compact, double-teaming is fast and fierce, and they reach out and get the ball continuously. They play like there is no ban on hand tests in the 1990s. Anyway, it highlights a tough guy and does not give the Lakers too much room for easy shooting.

The referee also intends to relax the Jazz's dictatorship, which makes the Lakers not lead much even though they are brave in offense.

Seeing such a yell, McMillan, who had always been calm, couldn't help but catch the referee and was scolded, but was called a technical foul.

Taking advantage of Hayward's technical free throw, Su Yang waved to Curry to appear and shouted: "Be yourself, relax..."

Originally, I was preparing for garbage time before letting Curry play casually, but this situation in front of me is easier to reflect Curry's value.

Curry nodded and ran into the field with a smile, interacting with Sessions, who had replaced the field. Little Transparent stood still.

Hayward then hit a technical foul free throw, helping the Jazz catch up to 9-20, with 4 minutes and 6 seconds left in the first quarter.

Beep! The referee whistle whistle is lit.

The two teams changed offensively, and the Lakers kicked off in the backcourt, Curry took the basketball and slowly advanced, leading all the way to the top of the frontcourt arc.

Gasol simultaneously raised the cover, and compared to Devin Harris's thin body, it was like a high wall.

Curry took the opportunity to pull the ball and move to the right. Seeing that Harris chose to bypass the screen and intercept, he decisively raised his hand and threw a three-pointer.

Swish! The basketball is hollow into the net.

Harris stood there in a daze, not reacting at all, wondering who could have made a three-pointer without rushing to stop?

Perhaps because he did not face Curry directly, the other Jazz players were not so shocked and kicked off as usual.

The regular 4UP tactics start, the Jazz conducts a running position, and Al Jefferson takes the ball with the left waist to start singles Gasol.

Al Jefferson's footsteps are quite gorgeous, and he feels like a "big dream" Olajuwon, but unfortunately his explosive power is too poor.

When! Basketball smashes the basket and hits the iron.

McRoberts jumped high and grabbed the rebound, landed and turned around and passed Curry who had already started the sprint, and the Lakers launched a fast break.

The Jazz generals quickly returned to defense, and Hayward and the other four directly contracted into the paint area, and only Harris stayed outside and followed Curry.

As one of the fastest men in the league, Harris still kept close to him with absolute speed after eating Curry and shaking. Seeing this, Su Yang shouted to the field: "Be a cover, give Stephen a cover, early offense!"

McRoberts, who was running wildly, turned to run towards Curry after hearing this, and simply covered his back and completely blocked Harris.

Curry took the opportunity to get rid of the arc and rushed to the top of the arc. Facing Hayward, who was hesitant to make up for defense, he pushed the ball and made a three-pointer while running.

Dong! The basketball flips into the net.

Hayward's eyes widened, his face full of shock, but he didn't have time to think about it anymore. Head coach Tyrone Corbin had already stood up.

That move was obviously to ask for a timeout after the basketball was leading halfway through, after all, the Jazz were as many as 17 points behind.

After McMillan reminded, Su Yang also noticed Tyrone Corbin's actions, and then shouted to remind the Lakers that they would execute the pressing of the whole game, and then smiled and said: "In this case, you directly remind the players, don't worry about me thinking too much, I'm not Jason Kidd..."

Anyway, NBA head coaches, like Zen Master and Carlisle, don’t mind, and even encourage assistant coaches to speak out.

There are also Doug Rivers and others who are willing to give up the work of drawing tactics to their assistant coach, and Tyron Lue is even handed over to LeBron.

There are also Jason Kidd, who emphasizes authority in particular. When he heard his former coach Lawrence Frank shout a few more words as an assistant coach, he would shut up loudly and emphasize, "I am the head coach." It seemed that it was a great insult to him.

Before he finished speaking, the stadium exclaimed.

Su Yang turned his head and looked into the field, and found that Curry had successfully intercepted Harris, dribbled the ball and rushed to the outside of the three-point line, and raised his hand and shot.

Swish! The basketball is hollow into the net.

The booing sound in the Energy Program Arena dropped sharply, as if it was lowered to only 10% of the volume, and many people fell into silence.

The referee blew the whistle simultaneously to suspend the game, and Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin rushed into the field with a irritable face with a tactical board.
Chapter completed!
