Chapter 144 All-Star Ticket King
After playing the Cavaliers, the Clippers rested for two days.
Su Yang accepted Schwartz's suggestion and went to the Avenue of Stars to participate in the recording of the Chicken Feather Show, mainly to answer some gossip questions, and at the same time promote his upcoming first-generation signature sneakers, and discuss film investment with several bosses.
Talking about why he high-fived LeBron during the game, Su Yang said that it was a completely natural reaction at the time. He admired LeBron's super defensive skills, and LeBron also appreciated his excellent offensive skills, with a kind of telepathy.
Talking about how to view the rumors of teaming up with LeBron, Su Yang said that many players in the NBA are willing to be teammates with LeBron, and he is one of them. LeBron is welcome to consider the Clippers in the summer, but he will not initiate recruitment.
Talking about how to evaluate the possibility of being elected MVP as a rookie, Su Yang said that everything will go with the flow, if you can get the best, if you don’t get it, you will continue to fight, but the MVP should be awarded to the Clippers team, after all, it is an earth-shaking change .
While chatting about routine issues, the host Jimmy took out several sets of photos of popular Hollywood actresses, and wanted to play the classic game of choosing one to sleep, choosing one to marry, and choosing one to ignore. Su Yang knew very few female stars, but every time In comparison, they choose to ignore the typical double-standard Virgin Mary monsters such as Emma Watson, but they prefer veteran female stars such as Charles Theron.
The program was a live broadcast, and the recording lasted for more than three hours. After the end, Su Yang talked with Matt Damon and other big-name fans, inviting them to become fans of the Lakers and Clippers, and witness the rise of the second great team in Los Angeles.
Matt Damon and the others promised to take time to watch the Clippers game at the Staples Center, and invited him to participate in the investment of the upcoming blockbuster "Elysium". big money.
Su Yang also promised to seriously consider it, and then drove back to the villa. After taking a shower, he saw many discussions on Twitter.
Some of these feminists believed that he was suspected of body discrimination, and some Cavaliers fans caught him and cursed, saying that they would write to the league office to report him for illegally recruiting LeBron, and firmly believed that LeBron would not leave Cleveland.
Su Yang didn't pay any attention to it, and practiced shooting according to the routine, and then watched the analysis video of the Heat.
...
On the night of the [-]th, the Clippers played against the Heat at home.
TNT TV was in charge of the national live broadcast. The three of Barkley dug up the Nike Challenge video from that year and deliberately repeated the scene of the fight between Beasley and Su Yang. Many Clippers fans were very excited and booed Beasley at the beginning.
Beasley wanted to prove himself by proving himself. He asked for it when he came up, and then used Alstom to create a dislocation. He forced Su Yang to single at the elbow, but was forced by Su Yang to make a dribble error, which caused the audience to laugh.
Turning to the Clippers to attack, Su Yang also singled out Beasley with the help of a screen. He swayed his crotch twice at random, and then took a ball and retreated, easily gaining room to shoot, but deliberately waited until Beasley pounced on him before jumping up and shooting. Successfully reached 2+1.
After coming and going, Su Yang directly pushed the atmosphere to a climax, and the Clippers team also greatly increased their momentum.
But Wade immediately responded on the offensive end, and the defensive end also restricted Davis efficiently.
After observing several rounds, Su Yang found Davis to switch positions, and let him deal with Wade, who ranked fifth in the league in offensive efficiency and tenth in defensive efficiency, and fought hand-to-hand with Wade in advance.
The two almost completed the exchange, but without Su Yang's breakthrough and shooting, the Clippers' offense was just as exciting, and the Heat lost Wade's impact on the basket. Facing the partial three-defense and two-two strategy, the naked eye could see that they were unable to do what they wanted.
The Clippers gradually gained the advantage, leading by a full 10 points at the end of the first quarter, and then the second and third quarters were almost the same situation. point gap.
With the Heat rushing to shoot three-pointers in a row, Wade and other main players went off to rest, and the game became garbage time.
Su Yang returned to the bench and found that Van Gundy did not arrange players to play according to the regular rotation, but let Camby and Kaman appear at the same time to collect statistics. Even the veteran Brian Skinner got a few shots.
Considering that there is only a little more than a month left before the trade deadline, Su Yang speculates that such a rotation is to allow potential trade buyers to see the offensive and defensive capabilities of Camby and Kaman, and the Clippers may experience great changes in the interior.
But he didn't expect that after more than five minutes of the game, Kaman actually turned O'Neal into his peak state, and the offensive scoring efficiency was low. point.
For Kaman's performance, Van Gundy was quite helpless.
Su Yang thinks it's okay. The value of Kaman's existence is to deal with those centers who can only defend under the basket, such as Perkins or Okafor, to make up for Jordan's shortcomings of only defending and eating cakes, and to enrich tactical options. .
Van Gundy's last move to let other teams look at the goods naturally failed to escape the attention of the media. Many commentators started discussions through Twitter, and many fans also joined in. The mainstream view is to trade Camby and keep Kaman.
The trading partner is to have a certain COSCO shooting ability, and give the third and fourth positions who are good at defense, preferably players within the rookie contract, who can grow together with Su Yang and others, and will not have the pressure of contract year data requirements.
Many players' names have entered the scope of discussion, and Al Thorton should not be dragged into it. Fans think that he should have been traded, but it was only because the Clippers gave up Griffin in the draft that he got the chance to play and make shots.
But as the Clippers' three-guard system, and even one major and four minor systems gradually yielded results, Thornton was already very embarrassed.
The discussion between fans and the media quickly attracted the attention of general manager Sam Hinkie. In an interview, he said that the Clippers are not in a hurry to form a strong team in the traditional sense, especially since the current team chemistry is very good.
These remarks were not trusted by Thornton and others, and Camby even sent a text message to ask Su Yang if he had any inside information.Su Yang could only reply and emphasize that he had no knowledge of it at all. After all, Sterling had never been involved in management affairs since he was forced to retreat.
...
After playing the Heat at home, the Clippers started two consecutive away games in the Southwest Division. The first game was the old rival Grizzlies.
Quite unexpectedly, after the team arrived in Memphis, Kaman suddenly said that he began to have a slight headache.The accompanying team doctor checked for a while and found no problem, so the logistics department had to take Kaman to the hospital, but no problem was found.
The team doctor still suggested a vacation, and Van Gundy didn't bother, and temporarily adjusted the second team.
Perhaps because of their proficiency in the discussion against the Grizzlies, the Clippers used a large and four small lineups at the beginning of the game. Su Yang and Jordan scored 13 of 9 shots, and Gordon made 4 of 3 shots. They just helped the team get 11. point lead.
But because of Kaman's absence, after the second quarter, Van Gundy sent Camby to serve as the center, and the Clippers' offensive efficiency dropped sharply. Fortunately, Gay and Griffin also did not perform well, but they still won a 2-point advantage in a single quarter .
I thought the situation of the game was settled here, but who would have thought that the referee started targeting the Clippers in the third quarter.
Su Yang personally got three fouls in a row, plus two times in the first half, a total of five times, so he had to go back to the bench to rest, but Davis also got three fouls, the Clippers completely lost their point guard, and were overtaken by 2 points in a single quarter .
After the start of the fourth quarter, Su Yang appeared angrily and was caught by the referee for another offensive foul.
He was forced to leave the field early, and Davis was also made to drop sharply. The Clippers' offensive and defensive teams were extremely chaotic. They could only rely on Gordon and Randolph to support them. When Van Gundy finally adjusted, the Grizzlies had already Complete the overtake.
In the end, the Clippers regrettably lost their winning streak 102 to 104. Su Yangkong scored 28 points and 12 assists.
The whole team didn't have time to sum up and reflect. They flew to New Orleans overnight and challenged the Hornets back to back.
At noon on NO.13, the NBA officially announced the final results of the All-Star voting. Su Yang overtook LeBron James with 2740698 votes, becoming another rookie All-Star vote leader since Grant Hill.
At the same time, Su Yang surpassed Durant in the MVP ranking and was promoted to second, only one step away from LeBron.
The Clippers officially announced a celebratory dinner for Su Yang, inviting partners and season ticket holders to participate, but Su Yang himself has no interest, because the impact of trade rumors is taking root in the team, and there is no solution for the time being.
