0369 Damn, let him pretend again

The Heat and Kai will finish the fifth game, and the finals will be at least 10th. The Lakers will have at least five days to prepare.

At nine o'clock in the morning of the 6th, Su Yang drove to Toyota Center and held a meeting with the assistant coach and scout team as usual.

The participants arrived gradually, and everyone sat down to chat nonsense, and naturally talked about the fifth game between the Heat and the Kaisers.

"I always think that the MVP in the 2008 finals should be awarded to Kevin Garnett. He tear us apart on the offensive end and suppressed us on the defensive end. Unfortunately, Pierce staged the return of the king and added many legendary plots out of thin air. I hope that after the Eastern Conference Finals, Volkswagen fans will realize that Kevin Garnett is the guy who really made the Celtics leap..."

Scout Ryan West complained, mentioning that the Eastern Conference Finals series was in progress. Garnett averaged 18 points and 13 rebounds per game. Whether it was data or non-data performance, they all surrounded Pierce, but fans crazily praised Pierce for his non-winning three-pointer.

It was probably because when Pierce made that three-pointer, LeBron was responsible for the defense, and he could take the opportunity to ridicule.

"Actually, Pierce's first game in the 08 finals was not because of the return of the king after being injured. He was a little pulled out of his pants at that time..." Su Yang said casually: "The Boston staff were very smart to put on a wheelchair to cover him, and then announced the return of the king with shamelessness..."

"What?"

"There is still such a thing?"

“a    u    kidding?”

Everyone was shocked about Pierce's diarrhea. Su Yang smiled and said, "There is no evidence now, and someone will probably disclose it in the future..."

During the conversation, all the participants arrived and the chat ended, and the topic turned to the training content arrangement for the next few days.

"So, great coach Su Yang, can we determine the finals opponent in advance this time?" Assistant coach Mike Brown spoke with a smile. His expression looked like he was flattering, and it looked like he was joking, which was hard to figure out.

But whether it is flattering or joking, Su Yang is very helpful and said with a smile: "Of course, we use the Heat as the finals and conduct targeted training in advance. Although the Heat is currently behind, their hard power is far stronger than the Celtics.

I focused on analyzing the three games they lost, mainly because the rotation in the second quarter was not done well. After LeBron took a break, the Heat lacked absolute strength points. If other Heat players cannot provide firepower support, the Heat will lose their lead or fall into the rhythm of chasing the whole game. As long as the Heat do a good job of rotation in the second quarter, the probability of winning will be greatly increased. In addition, Bosh gradually finds his state, and the Kaisers' defense will become more difficult, and the Kaisers' lack of physical strength will double-enhance.

Another reason is LeBron. From my current observation, he is very likely to play a high-level performance in the sixth game…”

Su Yang analyzed and wrote records with everyone, but no one showed any doubts and believed in his level unconditionally.

When he finished speaking, Mike Brown raised his hand with a smile and said, "I don't doubt what you meant just now. I'm just very curious. How do you judge that LeBron is very likely to play a high-level performance in the sixth game, and I really want to know."

Mike Brown wondered: Why did I coach LeBron for so many years and I have no idea how to predict his performance?

After the words came to an end, the others in the conference room also showed curiosity. It was normal to predict the advantages and disadvantages, after all, there was so much data.

But predicting a player's competitive performance is really an exaggeration. Is Bird really joking about Jordan retiring as a driver at 20 points?

Su Yang shrugged slightly: "Because I noticed that when Pierce hit a three-pointer that almost decided to win the fifth game under LeBron's extreme defense, LeBron looked not depressed or irritated. He was ready to attack and defend with all his strength..."

"I...I'll find some time to check it out later."

Mike Brown trembled when he spoke, as if he was about to learn a secret of his ex, mainly in the ocean.

The topic immediately shifted to how to deal with the Lakers' offense and defense, which is the main training content in the next few days. First, the scout team led by Ryan West provided a tactical report, and then the assistant coach led by Snyder made suggestions based on the current situation.

Compared with the two regular season matches, the biggest difference between the Heat is that the defensive counterattacks are more determined. However, because the Lakers' lineup has changed drastically because of the big change in sending Bynum, the biggest adjustment on the defensive end needs to become a large number of local delays and pincer attacks, which prevents the Heat from attacking the basket.

After the scout and assistant coach finished speaking, Su Yang summed up and added some strategies, analyzed it for a while before the meeting ended.

Everyone left the conference room, Mike Brown ran to the video hall, and coaches such as Su Yang went straight to the stadium to meet the players.

After a few simple chats, Su Yang clapped his hands and summoned the entire team to gather around him and said officially: "We will definitely play against the Heat in the finals. In the next few days, we will mainly practice double-teaming and moving quickly, and try to pass the ball to the open position to launch an attack..."

The Heat's defense advantage lies in the historic-level attacks between LeBron and Wade, as well as large-scale sweeping defense. The pressure on the ball holder will be relatively high. Kobe can play and Curry can play, but he still has to pursue high-efficiency scoring to reduce the number of defensive counterattacks from the Heat.

You know, the Heat defeated the Pacers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the fierce attack caused the Pacers to make 21 mistakes.

"In addition, we have to practice three-pointers and fight for offensive rebounds. We all know that Heat players often overdefense..."

The Heat often raise the inside and participate in double-teams and delays, which will inevitably miss some defensive rebounds. The Lakers can grab a few more, and the Heat have more partial double-teams and blockades, and it is easy to have three-pointers. The Lakers should boldly shoot.

"As for the defensive end, we also need to use local double-teams and delays, try to shrink into the paint area and reduce the Heat's sudden outbreak..."

After the arrangement, the Lakers will start practicing. Su Yang wanders back and forth around the court, frequently mentioning that LeBron is very likely to play shocking data in the sixth game. It is not to pretend to be a comparison, but to invisibly imply that the players know LeBron very well.

Understanding LeBron can make targeted defenses, thereby increasing the confidence of some players, without worrying that LeBron is too strong.

The training ends at twelve o'clock noon.

According to the team's arrangement, Su Yang walked to the sidelines and interviewed EPSN reporter Lindsay, mainly talking about the Eastern Conference Finals.

Speaking of being more optimistic about the Heat or the Celtics, he said without hesitation: "I know LeBron very well. He will do his best in the sixth game, break through all the Celtics' obstacles, get 4515 and other data, and will not have too many assists. He will bring the game back to Miami with a strong rotation in the second quarter, and finally win the seventh game of the Eastern Conference Finals and advance.

I don't mean to underestimate the Celtics, but the Heat are stronger than them and they can't stop LeBron."

Lindsay was speechless for a moment and asked again for a while: "What preparations would the Lakers be if they were against the Heat?"

Generally speaking, similar questions are to ask the head coach to talk about scenes such as strengthening defense, and just write a report casually.

Su Yang said seriously: "The Heat are good at local pinch and sweeping defense. We are focusing on practicing fast transfers and quick three-pointers. If the Heat insist on their defensive strategy, they will lose badly because in our lineup, Kobe, Curry, Gasol and others are good at passing, and except Artest, other players are good at mid-range shots..."

When Lindsay heard Su Yang helping the Heat consider it, he was stunned for a while and asked, "Are you sure you want to report these answers just now?"

"Of course!" Su Yang made a relaxed expression on his face, "I'm not afraid of the Heat making adjustments, I know them very well."

Just like reminding players LeBron to play shocking data in G6, Su Yangming's offensive and defensive tactics help the whole team improve their confidence, and on the other hand, they want to hit the Heat's confidence, it is best to make the whole Heat team have the idea that it is not embarrassing to lose.

Just like Tyron Lou led the Clippers to the Jazz, after losing, he said bluntly that he did not call a timeout at the last moment, he did not want the Jazz to replace Gobert, and then he really scored four consecutive games through Gobert's point to advance, which greatly increased the confidence of the Clippers' team.

Tyron Lu dares to make a clear card, but Su doesn’t dare?

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, ESPN's interview content was reported, and fans discussed it in large quantities on platforms such as Twitter.

Many fans do not agree with Su Yang's speculation, because the Heat lost three consecutive games and collapsed their momentum, and they wanted to win the Celtics home court, and the probability of winning two consecutive games is equivalent to buying a lottery of tens of millions of dollars. Even so, LeBron would not be able to 45.

On June 7th, the sixth game between the Heat and the Celtics Eastern Conference Finals kicked off at the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston.

LeBron made all the firepower, made 6 of 7 shots in the first quarter, and scored 14 points with one free throw, which also pulled the defensive end, helping the Heat lead 26-16. Then he also played for twelve minutes in the second quarter, making 6 of 7 shots again, scoring 16 points with one free throw.

After the half game, LeBron made 12 of 14 shots and scored 25 points efficiently, but only 5 of 9 free throws were made.

After returning from midfield, the Kai team made a super defense, but LeBron made 5 of 8 shots and scored 11 points efficiently.

The Kai team had no choice but to play LeBron. They fell behind by up to 20 points at the end of the fourth quarter and had to give up the game in advance.

The game was finally as Su Yang predicted, with LeBron bringing the game back to Miami.

While the fans shared and discussed LeBron's luxury data, they were also quite shocked by Su Yang's almost word-of-mouth predictions.

The Lakers' training was carried out step by step, and Sessions and others became more focused because of Su Yang's accurate prediction.

Su Yang was interviewed by EPSN again, emphasizing that it would not be too easy for the Heat to win the seventh game, because the Celtics will adjust their defense against LeBron, which will inevitably lead to a sharp drop in LeBron's shooting percentage. Bosh and Wade must stand up at a critical moment.

Many fans saw Su Yang's latest interview and watched the seventh game between the Heat and the Kai team with curiosity.

The result is really as Su Yang said. In the fourth quarter, LeBron only made 5 of 12 shots. It was not until three minutes left that the Heat made 3 of Bosh and Wade made 3 of 5 shots, and successfully advanced.

After the game, many fans lamented that Su Yang's prediction was amazing, but he pretended to be so angry.

Famous commentator Stephen Smith tweeted: "First of all, congratulations to the Heat for reaching the Finals for the second consecutive year, but I need to remind them that Su Yang knows the Heat better than the Heat themselves, and I really don't know how they can win the game."

Another well-known commentator, Bill Simmons, wrote: "You can always believe in LeBron, he is unstoppable. The reason why Su Yang openly talks about the Lakers' offensive and defensive strategy is because he is afraid that LeBron will win the game with his superhuman ability.

Because such a result will not only shatter Su Yang's myth, but will also significantly reduce the impact of tactics on the game.

Su Yang is very ambitious. For coaching the Lakers, he wants his position to be above Kobe and is more important than the players."

Su Yang and the Lakers' relevant personnel ignored Simmons' plan of disagreement, and the three-day rest time passed quickly.
