According to the schedule, the king will take a day off.

The whole team trained as usual. Su Yang took the time to watch the Spurs and Rockets' matches and found that Harden continued his tough style and led the Rockets to a difficult lead of 2-1. At the last moment of the third game, he actually took the lead, who had just won the best defensive player, and took a step-by-step and shot the final shot, which was a bit domineering and exposed. If he advanced to the second round, he would probably play very tragically.

Harden looks like Kobe at the peak, and it is difficult to fight against the Spurs alone, but if he can win, it will be hard for anyone to defend himself.

Interim coach Mike Malone is full of his talents and does not force Harden to run tactics, but maximizes Harden's power.

The Warriors are already leading the Grizzlies 3-0.

The Grizzlies mainly arranged for Jeff Green, Courtney Lee, Tony Allen to defend LeBron in turn, with double-teams and assisting defense, and Marc Gasol and Randolph intercepting the inside. It should be the most restrained routine of LeBron. However, after LeBron lost weight, mid- and long-distance shooting was relatively stable, and Clay was also restrained by super accurate three-pointers. LeBron averaged 28 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds per game, and almost defeated the Grizzlies. Some media have proposed to award LeBron the playoffs MVP.

The war situation in the east is obviously not as tragic as the western ones.

The Eagles, Pacers, and Bulls are all crushing. Only the Garbage Raptors and Garbage Brothers are fighting with the Wizards. It feels a bit difficult to distinguish. Both teams are the core of offense in the backcourt. After each game, the basket is hit by three centimeters.

At 8 p.m. on the 26th, the fourth game of the first round of the playoffs between the Kings and the Mavericks started at the U.S. Route Center Arena.

Facing a sweep situation, the Mavericks were quite tenacious and became bigger. Nowitzki took the lead in throwing more three points and blasted wildly.

However, the game trend has not changed much compared to the third game. The Mavericks can still lead in the first half. After lacking physical strength in the second half, the impact speed and shooting speed slowed down, the shooting percentage decreased, and the scoring efficiency decreased accordingly, gradually falling behind the Kings by as many as 15 points.

After the game, the Kings defeated the Mavericks 121-109, and swept 4-0 to advance to the Western Conference semi-finals in the first round.

In the entire series, Curry averaged 30.4 points, 7.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and his performance was quite dazzling, especially the 43 points in the third game, which made many fans convinced, and more fans slandered him, insisting that Curry was just a system player.

The whole team flew back to Sa City overnight.

On the same night, Paul led the Clippers to successfully defend their home advantage, tied 2-2 with the Thunder in the series, and it was only the last moment that the winner was decided, and there was a big conflict, because Paul made a small move when Ibaka jumped and grabbed the board.

Su Yang woke up at noon and saw the scene of the conflict between the Thunder and the Clippers, and evil thoughts suddenly emerged: fight, fight...

During the break of browsing the news, I suddenly saw the latest news from WOJ: According to the final statistics of the league, Kings coach Su Yang defeated Steve Cole and Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer and was elected the NBA's head coach of the year. This is the third time Su Yang won the head coach of the year. He previously won this honor in the Thunder and Lakers, tying Pat Riley's record.

"Good guy, I actually saw that I won the award from Twitter. This woj's revelation speed is faster than the league notification..."

While feeling sad, the phone ringtone and new email reminder were raised at the same time, and the number was displayed from the alliance office, and it was connected casually.

The league staff briefly notified the award and congratulated each other, and some people began to congratulate each other in the team group chat.

Su Yang thanked him, and then he saw a fan discussing: Has Mr. Su surpassed Popovich and other coaches?

The discussion began, and the fans were arguing enthusiastically, happier than winning the award himself, and perhaps a brand new topic appeared.

The King's Public Relations and Media Department immediately took action and quickly developed a grand award ceremony plan, preparing to invite Sa City Mayor Kevin Johnson, as well as various small bosses of the team, as well as local sponsors, to attend, and Su Yang directly denied it.

"I'll get your feelings! Don't be so extravagant, just invite the media to take photos, that specification is left to the championship..."

Su Yang knew that the public relations and media departments wanted to do more things, but there was no need. He spent more time and had to pay back favors in the future, so he did not want to attend unnecessary gatherings of the municipal government or invitations to birthday parties of the bosses.

Twenty-eight, the Kings team resumed joint training.

The Thunder and the Clippers have to play at least six games, and wait at least one week. If you play seven games, you have to wait for more.

There is no confirmation of the opponent and no targeted training, but you can practice more in advance if you break double-teams, because the Thunder and the Clippers like to engage in double-teams, and quick transmission and three-point shooting are the key contents. Quick retreat after mistakes also requires time to practice more.

After ordinary training, Su Yang asked Green to practice center position to switch defense, mainly against the Thunder or the Clippers. The Kings need to deal with the small lineup. Sometimes Green also needs to double-team Paul or Westbrook to delay his tearing of the Kings' defensive formation.

The coaching team analysis and scouting department analysis work were carried out simultaneously.

According to Su Yang's prediction, more analysis of the details of the Clippers' play style is, firstly because the Thunder's play style is relatively simple and there is no need to do more research in advance. Secondly, because the further the game is played, the more affected the Thunder's winning rate is due to Durant's physical reserve, and the Clippers will become better and better.

Matthews did a great job of defending against Durant. Although Durant still averaged 29 points per game, his efficiency was really low.

The Thunder's staffing is not bad, and there are no serious injuries. The problem is that Coach Brooks likes to rotate 7 people.

Therefore, Su Yang boldly predicts that the Clippers' winning rate is higher.

There are also conspiracy theories such as Los Angeles teams, but those ideas cannot be considered as normal factors.

On the 29th, the league announced the best rookie related.

Wiggins beat Lavine to be elected, but Lavine was selected for the first team of the Rookie, while Smart was selected for the second team of the Rookie.

Not long after the news was announced, discussions about which Raven and Smart were better appeared in large numbers, but the two were just names. The content that fans really focused on was comparing Su Yang and Danny Anji. Some fans thought that Su Yang was completely out of Danny Anji's vision.

At the Best Head Coach Award Ceremony, the reporter also mentioned the old story again and asked Su Yang to talk about why Smart was preferred at the beginning.

Su Yang smiled and said, "I don't know where you got the news! We never gave priority to Smart. Our entire draft team has always given priority to LaVine. My lineup was obviously short of three-pointers at that time. How to choose a player with extremely low three-point shooting..."

After a while, I denied the facts on the spot.

Lavin's feelings must be maintained, even if they lie.

The next day on May 1st, except for the Clippers and the Thunder, the other matches between the East and West were all separated.

The Warriors swept the Thunder 4-1, and met the Rockets who defeated the Spurs 4-2 in the Western Conference semi-finals. LeBron fought Howard again, but Howard was no longer the boss of the team. Harden averaged 31.8 points per game and scored the strongest performance in the first round.

In the East, the Bulls played against the Raptors in the second round, and the Hawks met the Pacers. Many fans lamented that the Eastern Conference playoffs without LeBron became a bit boring. Although the Bulls' lineup was very strong, it looked that smell and was not exciting enough.

Su Yang took the time to participate in the basketball training class at the largest middle school in Sacheng, and explained some training methods to the children. He only participated in community charity activities. He also wondered whether to run a private middle school to imitate the ancient principal to repay the society and help local Chinese.

When I got home, I discussed it with Jiang Ruolan for a while. I felt it was completely feasible, so I decided to contact her assistant Taylor and start construction as soon as possible.

Anyway, you can get a piece of land at the worst.

On the night of May 2, the Kings team watched the Thunder and the Clippers' tiebreaking battle, waiting for the second round of opponents to emerge.

Durant was strictly guarded and defended. The Thunder's scoring efficiency was low. The Clippers were not much higher. At the end of the fourth quarter, the Clippers relaxed their defense against Durant for some reason, and Durant made three consecutive mid-range shots and narrowly won by three points in the last three points.

The coaching staff, scouting department, Cousins ​​and others seized the opportunity to tease Su Yang for making a mistake in his prediction, and said that he had finally made a mistake.

Su Yang doesn't care. The tactical pressure on the Thunder is not as great as that of the Clippers, just fight happily.
Chapter completed!
