Chapter 365 The Person Who Knows Kidd Best
After two days of rest, Su Yang resumed his daily training.

At eight o'clock in the morning, he drove to the Clippers training base, changed his equipment and started shooting training.

Sanders, the media director, approached him and told him that there would be an interview arrangement at [-] o'clock. The main question was how to view the upcoming Western Conference semifinals. The content would involve evaluating the opponent Dallas Mavericks and responding to many predictions on social media.

"I still feel a little surprised..." Assistant coach Kim Hughes picked up the basketball and threw it to Su Yang, "Dallas actually swept Oklahoma 4-1. I thought they would play at least six games, and it was Oklahoma. win."

"Is that your own judgment, or did you see it from the TV analysis program?" Assistant coach Ronnie White held the basketball and waited for Su Yang to make a shot. "I heard the predictions from the TNT guys, and only Barkley is optimistic that Dallas will win."

bass!Su Yang hits the net with a three-pointer.

Kim Hughes reached out to catch the basketball, "Of course it's my own judgment. I think the three young Thunder players are unstoppable, but they lack experience in the playoffs. If they want to beat the Mavericks, they need some time to adapt."

Ronnie raised his hand and threw the ball to Su Yang, "Su, did you make predictions at the beginning? You have always been accurate."

"I didn't make a prediction, but I already believed that Dallas would win." Su Yang caught the ball and raised his hand to aim at the basket. "Dirk's competitive form this season is very good, and the Thunder's tactics are monotonous. Facing the Mavericks' zone defense, it will be further amplified. .”

bass!Another three-pointer went into the net.

"Yeah..." Kim Hughes sighed slightly, "Now to sum up, the Thunder faced the Mavericks, and only Kevin Durant was the absolute strong point. Poor performance."

"Yes, inherent impression..."

Su Yang nodded. In recent seasons, the Mavericks have been labeled as only playing in the regular season. The reason is probably that they lost four games in a row to the Heat in the 06 Finals. The first round was led by the young Paul to kill the Hornets. In the second round of the 07 season, the Nuggets were swept 08-09 by Gentleman. In 4, they were easily defeated by the Spurs.

It is reported that after the 10-year playoffs, Nowitzki stayed in Germany for the entire offseason, doing various training every day, and even tried to receive psychological treatment.

It is the combination of these things that makes most people think that the Mavericks are a regular-season team and that Nowitzki is a softie. Therefore, no matter which team the Mavericks play against in the playoffs, most people People automatically feel that their opponent is going to win.

bass!It was a hollow three-point hit.

"OK, the shooting training is over..." Ronnie raised his hand to look at his watch, "Then we will do strength training."

Su Yang put down the basketball, walked to the sidelines, took a sip of Gatorade, turned around and walked into the gym.

Ronnie followed closely, saying that starting from the second round of the playoffs, there will be a few more sets of movements in each strength training, the purpose is to increase the confrontation ability, to deal with Kidd who is about to fight, and Paul, who is very likely to fight. People are both heavy point guards.

Su Yang felt that it was feasible. First, according to the training plan, he first did 20 push-ups to activate the chest and shoulder muscles.

Ronnie squatted beside him for counting, took a short rest, and then did 20 self-weight squats to activate the thigh muscles.

Soon, after completing a whole set of warm-up exercises, Su Yang walked to the equipment area and started heavy weight training.

There are several sets of hanging lifts and straight leg deadlifts, respectively, for a full hour, and I am so tired that I am panting.

"Go and relax, that's all for the training in the morning." Ronnie ticked off the last column of the schedule, "Jeff said there will be a video analysis meeting at ten o'clock. I'll go prepare for the things to do first, and see you later."

Su Yang nodded, raised his hand to fist-bump Ronnie, got up and walked into the massage treatment room next door.

"Good morning, what kind of technique do you want to experience today? I recently invented a new starter..." Masseur Ward smiled, "Byron has already experienced it, and he asked me to recommend it to you, saying that you will definitely Like this."

"That's fine, let's start with the shoulders first."

Su Yang sat down, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, which was playing HBO's "Game of Thrones".

"Wow, this drama is very popular now. Although the second episode of King's Road has just aired, it has caused a lot of discussion on Twitter..." Ward sounded very excited, "Our family decided to follow this drama for a long time, you have paid attention ?"

"Of course there is concern..." Su Yang nodded, "King Robert will die soon, and Prime Minister Ed will die soon."

"Huh?" Ward was stunned for a moment, "How do you know? Ed looks like the protagonist of this show."

"I've read novels..." Su Yang shrugged, pressed twice casually, and the TV channel switched to ESPN.

[Kalam: Good morning, everyone, welcome to the analysis and prediction of the NBA playoffs. spirit.

Today, we are going to discuss the Clippers game against the Mavericks tomorrow night. Matt, where do you like it? 】

[Matt: To be honest, I know that many people predict that the Clippers will easily advance, and I also know that 21 commentators all supported the Clippers’ promotion yesterday, but I think the Mavericks will surprise everyone again, and they will beat the Clippers. Boat. 】

【Kalam: Tell me your reason...】

[Matt: OK, I think the Mavericks have four major advantages, namely Dirk Nowitz's ability to score from any position, Jason Kidd's ability to organize defense and transition to offense, a strong group of indiscriminate shooters, and the best area in the league. defense. 】

[Kalam: I hear you, Dennis, do you agree with Matt's view that the Mavericks have four major advantages? 】

[Dennis: Haha... Sorry, I can't help it. I don't agree with the so-called four major advantages at all, and I don't want to discuss it in depth. I just want to ask, why do you think Kidd can guard against Su Yang? Haven't you seen it? Do they race? 】

There was a voice on the TV, and Ward curled his lips slightly: "Yeah, how can Kidd prevent you..."

Su Yang chuckled and continued to stare at the TV.

[Kalam: I agree with Dennis. Su Yang is fast and powerful. Kidd is getting old. 】

[Matt: I know you guys will have that kind of thinking. The last round of the Mavericks against the Thunder was the same. I felt that Westbrook's impact was explosive enough to beat Kidd, but what about the final result?Westbrook's field goal percentage is only 36%!

Of course, Westbrook also has some explosive impact scenes, but they are all fast-break counterattacks by the Thunder. If you look at Westbrook averaging 3 fouls, 4.8 turnovers and only 4.8 assists per game, it is enough to clarify a fact.

That's why Westbrook didn't beat Kidd at all, and was even made uncomfortable by Kidd's defense. Although the defense is not due to one person, Kidd directs his teammates how to limit Westbrook every time, which is also an important reason.

If you admit this, it can be deduced that Su Yang can't beat Kidd.

Because it is impossible for Su Yang to have a stronger impact than Westbrook.

Coupled with the Mavericks' area defense restrictions, it is also difficult for Su Yang to break through easily through cover.

That way there would be a lot of moments where Su Yang would have to compete with Kidd for details and experience.

And we all know that Kidd's understanding of the basketball game is the best in the world. He can use a lot of experience to predict what decisions Su Yang will make. Even if he encounters a small forward level screen, he can also use defensive skills to switch defenses. 】

"Wow..." Ward complained, "This guy seems to know Kidd very well, he knows everything."

"It's nothing..." Su Yang grinned, "There is a Chinese netizen who knows Kidd better than him."
