After the press conference, the Lakers team rushed back to Los Angeles overnight, and hundreds of fans arrived at the airport to greet them.

Seeing that the fans were very enthusiastic and Kobe and others were very cold, Su Yang simply made a promise and shouted "Lakes Championship" with hundreds of fans in unison. Those scenes were soon spread to social platforms such as Twitter and Weibo, causing a lot of discussion.

Those shouting are in English and Chinese.

English sounds ordinary, but Chinese is more magical. Some Lakers fans specially record videos to teach those English-based Lakers fans who can't pronounce it, and other teams rush to imitate it, and for a moment, it set off a trend of learning Chinese on Twitter.

Su Yang woke up at noon and heard Jiang Ruolan talking about the trend of learning Chinese, it felt like an opportunity to increase the company's popularity.

After thinking about it, he made a set of emoticons with pandas waving his head and shouting "Lakers Championship", and continued to redevelop the development demonstration on Twitter, intending to let American fans, whose emoticon culture is not good at ease, experience the richness of Chinese emoticons.

After all, American fans will play with something like "Sad Frog", and various shoddy GIF animations.

By the evening, those emoticons really caused a lot of discussion and retweeting, and many American fans seemed to have discovered a new world.

But soon, a lot of Korean netizens jumped out and accused Su Yang of plagiarizing Korean online culture and should apologize publicly.

Su Yang was too lazy to pay attention to the accusations. If it weren't for the Lakers' head coach and the boss of MT, he would have called him a fool.

While it was popular, he announced on Twitter that MT will add emoticon chat function and welcome to download and experience it.

About half an hour after the tweet was posted, the company reported that the number of MT downloads soared and the number of daily active users also increased.

With a wave of successful marketing, MT's valuation has increased again.

While the Pandas emojis went viral, the Heat and the Knicks played first in the Eastern Conference. Carmelo Anthony scored 41 points and narrowly won. Then the Spurs swept the Mavericks 4-0, following the Lakers' footsteps to advance to the second round of the Western Conference.

Regarding the Heat's failure to sweep their opponents, fans unceremoniously mocked them for their dominance as well as the Lakers and Spurs. After watching the videos of the Heat and the Knicks carefully, they found that LeBron entered a fearless state early, and his mid-range shots were quite stable.

Su Yang also quickly watched the video of the Spurs and the Mavericks.

Because they did not get Dior, the Spurs' substitute strength was weakened, and because they did not get Stephen Jackson, the Spurs' overall three-point shooting percentage was weakened, and it would be even more difficult to fight against the Thunder in the second round, but the Lakers will definitely benefit from watching the tiger's fight.

The next morning, the Lakers held a regular meeting.

According to the plan, it should be a discussion on how to deal with the second round opponent, but the Lakers swept four to zero to advance too early, and the potential opponent Clippers tied 2-2 with the Grizzlies, which seemed to have to play seven games before the end. Maybe it would take a week to confirm.

"Let Su Yang take his attention, he can always make a successful prediction..."

Assistant coach Mike Brown took the opportunity to flatter, but if he was not sure about his opponent, he could only practice regular things.

"Forehead…"

Su Yang thought quickly, but he couldn't say who would win or lose.

The main problem of the Clippers is the lack of scorers. Butler performed diarrhea. Paul was the player with the highest score in the team, and Paul was also responsible for organizing and defending. When encountering a team as harsh as the Grizzlies, it is easy to cause abnormalities in the fourth quarter due to lack of physical strength.

If you retain your energy until the fourth quarter, you will easily be killed by the Grizzlies in the first three quarters. Anyway, Paul faces a dilemma.

The key is that Jordan Jr. is not trusted by the Clippers head coach and has not yet been a prudent in his tactical status. Martin is so outrageous.

As for the Grizzlies, the biggest problem is Rudy Guy.

Although Guy averaged 19 points per game after four games, his shooting percentage was only 42%, and he took away some of the ball rights of the Black Bears Randolph, with 16.3 moves. He averaged 3.0 turnovers per game and his defense was also very difficult. He was a chicken neck that was more painful than a useless person.

Originally, because of Su Yang's appearance, he was targeting Guy several times when coaching the Thunder. Last season's playoffs, the Grizzlies had arranged for Guy to be substitute, but after being swept, the Grizzlies' management believed that it was to let Guy be substitute that caused that kind of tragic situation.

This season, Guy became the main player of the Grizzlies again, stealing Randolph's ball and space. The Grizzlies' head coach did not dare to abandon Guy, nor did he dare to let Guy play as a substitute again, which made it difficult for the Grizzlies to completely kill the game and were easily furious.

In short, Guy's affairs are a bit similar to the parallel space-time "Warriors strive to train Wiseman". The Warriors management took the data analysis and told Cole: Our research found that when Wiseman and Curry played pick-and-roll, the scoring efficiency was the highest...

Of course, Cole understood that it was because of the concentration of the ball, sacrificing Curry and others, but he could only accept suggestions. He sat down to watch Wiseman's various eye-catching pick-and-roll operations in every game, and then he commented with high emotional intelligence in an interview: he has very high potential!

That is, it means that no tactics are designed to work hard. Coach Holzmann's famous saying will never go out of date.

"Please use the Clippers as their imaginary enemy. Chris Paul may be able to do some new tricks. The Grizzlies will always play that way..."

Su Yang made the decision, and the coaching staff and scouting work followed, mainly studying the pick-and-rolls of Paul and the Clippers in the interior. As for Griffin's singles with the ball at low post, Butler took the ball around the cover and took a look, and it was not much lethal.

The team's training also began, the main content was the running-in between Curry and other starting players. Fortunately, after the All-Star deal was completed, Su Yang updated the offensive and defensive system and considered Curry's comeback in advance, and the offensive tactics were basically unchanged.

The more troublesome point is defense. Su Yang found Kobe on the sidelines and said bluntly: "You need to defend Paul or Conley in the Western Conference Semi-Finals, you need to defend Parker or Paul in the Western Conference Finals, but you don't need to defend the opponent's point guard in the finals..."

That arrangement is to protect Curry.

It’s not that Curry’s defense is not good, Curry’s defense is above the average level of point guards in the league, and more to reduce Curry’s consumption.

Kobe said without hesitation: "Yes, I like to defend Westbrook or Parker, I like to challenge."

I thought I needed to state the pros and cons in detail, but I didn't expect it to be done in ten seconds. Su Yang felt a little lacking in accomplishment. I couldn't help but think that the Grizzlies could not handle many things. Designing tactics is just the most basic job of the head coach.

With Kobe leading the defense of the Western Conference, the tactics of protecting Curry are easy to implement. The routines such as delaying and switching are easy to use. It is a little troublesome, but Curry's previous performance against the Jazz has completely gained full trust in the team.

There is no way, Curry performed too stunningly, and his role during that time was very obvious. The Lakers team were convinced.

However, fans and media did not give Curry too much praise. The Lakers swept four to zero, making the scene look too easy. Curry played for a short time. Although the data is very efficient, the Jazz didn't seem to defend much, which was too fucking to the opponent.

While the Lakers practiced the routine of protecting Curry, the format of the playoffs in the east and west changed accordingly. The Heat and the Knicks also swept their opponents to advance and made an appointment in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. The Bulls were eliminated by the 76ers Black Eight due to Ross' injury.

The Celtics defeated the Hawks without any danger, making many fans call the healthy Celtics also a championship contender.

In the West, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 4-2 and met the Spurs in the Western Conference semi-finals, and there will be a hard fight.

The Clippers and the Grizzlies fought to the seventh tie. After four quarters of hard fighting, the Clippers successfully advanced with Paul's highest 19 points in the game.

Su Yang felt happy to see the Clippers advance. With the Clippers' lineup and coach, the Lakers will be very relaxed to play.

Early in the 14th, the NBA officially announced that Kobe was elected the MVP of the 11-12 season, and only won five points in the voting statistics.

LeBron tweeted immediately to congratulate Kobe, and Kobe also retweeted it and expressed his gratitude, and tweeted it alone to thank Su Yang for help.

After the morning training, Su Yang accepted an interview with reporters as usual. First, congratulations to Kobe, and then talked about his second round opponent, the Clippers.

ESPN reporter Lindsey asked: "Clippers owner Sterling claimed that Kobe is old, Bynum is not without inside threats, Curry will only shoot three-pointers, they will defeat the Lakers in the semi-finals and become the new king of Los Angeles. What do you think about this?"
