With the joy of promotion, the entire Trail Blazers flew back to Portland overnight, and was so excited that they were sleepless.

The plane arrived at 3 a.m., and more than 200 hard-core fans were greeted by the airport. Su Yang was the most popular. Several aunt fans held his hand and refused to let go for a long time. They asked him if he had a girlfriend and whether he was considering interracial marriage.

Su Yang kept beating and rushed back to Chinatown at four o'clock, and he slept until the afternoon before getting up.

He went out for breakfast and dinner, and neighbors praised him for his bravery and stunning fighting, and his style of being a general. The owner of the Cantonese roasted salmon shop also deliberately transferred the TV channel to ESPN, and the program played happened to discuss the fight about him.

In the show, the famous Knicks fan Stephen A. Smith felt quite regretful, believing that after the fight and news interviews, Su Yang was definitely the most suitable head coach for the Knicks, but the Knicks decided early to coach D'Antoni.

Another guest is Bill Simmons. He believes that Su Yang is very suitable for coaching and rebuilding the team, because Su Yang can not only reach good relationships with the players, but also fully build a practical and efficient offensive and defensive system. He recommends that the King grab people as soon as possible.

Another guest is comedy star Kevin Hart, who joked that he would never dare to mess with Chinese people again because Su Yang's two moves of Chinese kung fu were too domineering, and he also planned to invite Su Yang to play a guest appearance in a comedy movie because Su Yang is very performant.

At the end of the show, ESPN released an interview video, which was a question about the 'Next Kobe' Mayo.

Mayo said that he likes Su Yang's coaching style very much and likes Su Yang to treat the players as friends. If he has the opportunity in the future, he is willing to play in the team coached by Su Yang, even if Su Yang coaches a team in a small city.

Seeing Mayo's interview, Su Yang was not excited at all, or even a little unhappy. He knew that it was definitely Mayo's agent Rodney who was making trouble. He took advantage of the popularity of his fight and used it to help Mayo do publicity and increase the attention of the weak team's management.

After breakfast and dinner, Su Yang received a call from Ade, inviting him to a party at home, and Otlo, Roy and others were there.

He drove over in Mazda, and a few of them drank something casually, played cards, and watched the game at the same time.

The Celtics played away against the Cavaliers, and the two teams scored 3-2 before.

Otero and others were unanimously optimistic about the Celtics winning and advancing, while only Su Yang was optimistic about the Cavaliers' reversal.

Instead of cheating based on memory, he calmly analyzed the past five games between the two teams and found that the three wins of the Celtics were all narrowly won at home, and the two Cavaliers won were all big home wins, indicating that the Cavaliers had huge home advantage.

As he expected, Pierce was called two fouls in the first quarter, which led to a sharp reduction in the Celtics' offensive firepower, and was lagging as much as 10 points in the first quarter. Davis was called four fouls in the second quarter, and Garnett was forced to play more.

In the end, LeBron scored 32 points and led the Cavaliers to easily defeat the Celtics, dragging the series to tiebreak.

Otero and others admire Su Yang's accurate prediction, and asked him to predict that the Hornets were against the Lakers.

The Hornets and the Lakers were also 2-3, but the score difference between the five games was very small, and the showdown that never happened. It was very difficult to predict successfully, but Su Yang was not long ago and was optimistic that Paul would clear his identity as an MVP competitor at home.

Speaking of MVP, Ottoro and others suddenly felt excited and shouted that the MVP should be awarded to Paul.

They believe that Paul was better than Kobe in all basic and advanced data in the 2007-08 season, and he also had two titles: steals and assists. Although the Hornets were double-killed by the Lakers in the regular season, Kobe was not in the data in those two games.

Moreover, in the regular season record, the Lakers only win one more game than the Hornets, which is difficult to offset Paul's advantage.

However, as Kobe fans, Otero and others thought that Kobe would be fine, but Paul was a pity.

After listening to several people's explanations, Su Yang said that it was normal for those reporters and commentators to vote for MVP to Kobe.

Because people often have a delay effect on a player's performance evaluation.

Take Kobe's best defense team as an example. In fact, Kobe had a very strong defense in the 98-99 season, but that season due to the league's suspension and the overall poor defense of the Lakers, Kobe did not receive defensive honors.

In the two seasons of 2004 to 2006, Kobe's defense level was not strictly worth a team, but the coaches in charge of the selection still remained in the past for Kobe's defense, so they insisted on voting for Kobe for a team.

Paul suffered a loss because his qualifications were too shallow and had not yet made the reporters and commentators look strong.

Especially in the April match between the two teams, although Kobe's data was poor, Paul lost 4 of 13 and lost too much points.

In addition, Kobe is completely worthy of getting an MVP because often the two choices are not right or wrong.

Su Yang explained that Otero and others turned their ideas around and continued to watch the game.

Perhaps because of his luck, the Hornets played against the Lakers at home and also easily won, but the Hornets won mainly by Paul 29 points and 14 assists, and David West 27 points and 20 rebounds, successfully pulling the Lakers to tiebreak.

The predictions were correct twice in succession, and Otero and others admired Su Yang to a higher level, and Su Yang was secretly happy.

After two rounds of the game, TNT commentator Barkley emphasized that young people are about to start grabbing trophys.

The reason is that except for Howard, who was eliminated early, there are three other groups of games between the East and West. The Trail Blazers have advanced as a young team. The teams led by the Cavaliers and Hornets are both ready to tiebreak the seventh place, and there may be three groups of new and old.

Early the next morning, Su Yang rushed to the Trail Blazers Training Base and began to prepare relevant information on the Western Conference Finals.

The coaching staff unanimously optimistic that the Lakers won in tiebreak because the Hornets rely too much on Paul to win.

After making up his mind, Su Yang began to study the Lakers' playoff performance, especially Ariza, who made a comeback.

Ariza's return was somewhat unexpected, which made the Lakers' substitute offense slightly strengthen and the defense greatly strengthened.

The research lasted until noon, and Kevin ran to the office to find Su Yang and notified the alliance that he had already given a penalty.

Su Yang received the notice and looked carefully, showing that Horry was suspended for one game, but given that Horry would retire, the punishment was useless. On the Trail Blazers, Oterlow and McRoberts did not have additional bans, so they could play normally in the Western Conference Finals.

As for Su Yang, the league determined that he was an expander of the conflict, seriously damaging the image of the NBA and coaches, and suspended for three additional games, and those three games were not allowed to appear on the court in any form, and a fine of $50,000 was imposed and paid within a time limit.

Kevin also said that the fine has been paid through a private account, so he can concentrate on preparing for the Western Conference Finals.

Su Yang nodded to show his understanding and continued to study the Lakers after Ariza's comeback without any scruples.

By the afternoon, the NBA officially issued a notice on punishment for fights, emphasizing that the league does not advocate violence.

Mavericks boss Mark Cuban was the first to complain, saying that the punishment for Su Yang was too heavy and it was a bit bullying.

Star Arenas said the league wanted to use Su Yang as a case and warned coaches not to cause more trouble when conflicts occur. After all, the last time a coach participated in a fight was to be traced back to the 1990s, which was known as the iron-blooded basketball.

ESPN announced the survey results. Among the 26,000 fans, more than 90% of the fans believed that Su Yang was the right choice for the player, especially against two famous villains Horry and Bowen.

Seeing the news, Su Yang posted a special tweet to express his gratitude and promised to pay attention to controlling his emotions.

On the 18th, the Celtics and the Cavaliers started the seventh game, and LeBron scored 45 points and lost.

The media and fans both felt it was a pity, lamenting that another team led by young stars had lost to the veteran team

On the 19th, the Lakers tied the Hornets at home, Kobe led the team to win with 34 points, and Paul only scored 18 points.

The result made the media and fans suddenly realize that Howard led the Magic to lose to the Pistons, LeBron led the Cavaliers to the Celtics, and Paul led the Hornets to the Lakers, and all three young stars led the team lost to the veteran team.

The younger Trail Blazers defeated the Spurs strongly and advanced to the Western Conference Finals, and their star level was not as good as those three teams.

Su Yang's role was once again noticed, and the media and fans believed that he was a true destroyer of order.
