When the final whistle sounded, Su Yang raised his hands and applauded all around the arena.
George and Gordon also stood up and applauded, thanking the fans who came to watch the game.
中央大屏幕显示快船全队各项数据统计：苏阳28分14次助攻，戴维斯16分3助攻…麦迪15分5次助攻，小奥尼尔12分8篮板。全队合计六人得分上双。
The post-match interview followed. Su Yang followed the guidance of the staff and walked to the middle circle of the court to stand still.
The ESPN reporter asked: "You started the second quarter and quickly gained a lead of nearly 20 points, but at that time, you were sitting on the bench to rest, and you didn't even have a starter in the lineup, why did you do that? "
"We are very well prepared before the game. The coaching staff has studied the Mavericks' preseason video and simulated the changes that will be brought to the Mavericks' offensive and defensive ends after Chandler joins. expected..."
Su Yang paused and continued: "At the beginning of the second quarter, all of our lineups were good at shooting, especially Chris Kaman and Jermaine O'Neal. They both made mid- and long-range shots, which greatly stretched the Mavericks' defensive lineup. …
Also, Tracy McGrady played well. On this night, he seemed to be back to the top. "
McGrady's debut performance was really good. During the intermission, he bluntly said that he seemed to be several years younger, and he became more and more calm in shooting selection and creating offensive opportunities. He was no longer as eager to perform and eager for success as he was back then.
Xiao Ao said that he also had a similar experience, the main reason is the role change, from the absolute main force to the substitute player, he can become more focused on the game, without having to consider too many off-court factors, such as how it will affect the endorsement brand.
In Su Yang's view, there is another reason for McGrady's outstanding performance, and that is that the season has just started, and he is full of physical strength and energy.
The ESPN reporter nodded and asked again: "Coach Jeff Van Gundy mentioned in the interview at the end of the halftime that you have very strict requirements on rookie player Paul George and encourage him to develop towards the level of Kevin Durant. Why are you so optimistic? ?”
Su Yang said: "Have you noticed that he scored for the first time? It was a forced breakthrough, and at that time he faced the defensive expert Sean Marion alone, and finally scored with a one-handed dunk, which shows that he has extremely strong explosive power and sense of the ball. , Bounce and speed are also very impressive, these dynamic talents can help him grow into an All-Star or even an MVP player."
Strictly speaking, George's static talent is average, but his dynamic talent is great, especially coordination and explosive power, which allows George to make a lot of complex movements, so George can often perform windmill slam dunks without warming up.
The ESPN reporter smiled: "The last question, before the end of the first quarter, Eric Gordon's three-pointer from the center line, did you deliberately help him realize his wish for the new season? I heard that he wants to shoot every month." once."
Su Yang said: "Yes, but it was indeed suitable to use ultra-long three-pointers at that time, because it seemed that there were only seven seconds left in the attack, and ultra-long three-pointers were difficult for the Mavericks to prevent. We had already practiced in advance during the training camp."
"OK, thank you for accepting the interview." The reporter turned to the camera.
Su Yang turned and walked away, and found that several teammates were waiting, so he hurried over.
Several people talked and laughed, and returned to the locker room together. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Davis laughing with his mobile phone.
Gordon asked with a smile: "What is so happy?"
Davis said: "The Heat lost. They only scored 9 points in the first quarter. At present, many people on Twitter are amused by this. It has become one of the hot topics. Some casinos have even increased their winning odds. Heat officials Push back the powder."
Gordon shook his head: "Fans always like to make an argument, and the Heat still have as many as 81 games?"
"The main reason is that they form a group to attract people. Many people wait to see them fail..."
After Davis finished speaking, the Clippers nodded one after another.
Su Yang feels the same way. Whenever there is a "Galaxy Battleship" team, apart from the team's own fans, other fans would like to see them fail. For example, when Malone and Payton joined the Lakers to form F4, every time they lost, they would arouse a lot of ridicule. .
"Their center is too bad..." Jordan, as a traditional center, began to analyze why the Heat lost.
Su Yang took out his mobile phone, sat next to the ice bucket, and while icing his knees, he browsed the post-match news.
On the first game day of the new season, the league has arranged a total of three games. The Suns paid too little attention to the Trail Blazers, and the Clippers could predict the result early on against the Mavericks. Only the Heat's match against the Celtics has successfully become the subject of hot discussion among fans.
The Heat and the Celtics had too many grievances and hatreds before. Take last season as an example. The Celtics swept the Heat 4-1 in the first round of the playoffs, prompting Wade to say: "This is my last season. Out of the first round of the playoffs..."
As a former Cavaliers player, LeBron has also been defeated by the Big Three of the Celtics twice in the playoffs in the past three years.In addition, the Celtics were the team in the finals of last season. Before this game started, it had already been regarded by many media as a test of the Heat's strength.
Su Yang clicked on the detailed game report and found that the Heat lost 80-88. From the statistics alone, the main reason was that Wade and Bosh did not play well. The two made 27 of 7 shots, and there were not many rebounds and assists. It doesn't match the status of a giant.
LeBron played well, with 31 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds, but he made as many as 8 turnovers.
"The Heat's big three haven't finished running in. They have a lot of isolations." McGrady interjected, "They shouldn't be sharing the ball evenly among the three. They should let LeBron handle the ball more, and Bosh and Wade mainly play off the ball..."
Davis laughed: "Then what are the Big Three? At most, it is an improved version of the Cavaliers. The key three-point shooting rate is not as high as the Cavaliers before. I think they can only play young rookies, or find more shooters at a low price. and 3D."
Su Yang silently nodded in agreement, and swipe the phone screen to continue browsing related news.
Several experts on ESPN said that although all members of the Clippers performed well in the first game, compared with several substitutes such as Drew Gooden, Outlaw, Blake, and Barnes, O'Neal and McGrady are too old to be long-term. High performance guaranteed.
There is truth in this statement. Older players are a regular risk and must be prepared.Last season, the Celtics with a very high average age relied on Rivers' strict watch rotation to give the Celtics the Big Three a chance to reach the finals.
While thinking about it, the alarm clock rang, and the prescribed time for the ice pack was up.
Su Yang got up and left the ice bucket, went straight to the bathroom, took a shower and changed clothes in a hurry.Post-match interviews and press conferences followed one after another. He took Paul George to attend together, praised and encouraged George in various ways, and went to the parking lot together after the end.
"Boss, how do you celebrate tonight?" George said excitedly, "I have a friend who opened a new bar..."
"There is still a game tomorrow, I suggest you rest early." Su Yang said, "It's better not to be photographed by reporters, especially the guys from TMZ magazine, so as not to affect your competition for the best rookie award. John Wall has infinite fire right."
"Are you going to play tomorrow?" George slapped his forehead fiercely, "It seems that there will be. I'm so excited."
Su Yang said with a smile: "We will play three games in the next five days, and we will face the first wave of tests. Although two of them are home games, you will soon feel like you are working part-time..."
