Chapter 367 Who Wouldn't Talk Hard?
[-] p.m., May [-]nd, Staples Center.

The first game between the Clippers and the Mavericks is about to start, and the central big screen is showing the past confrontation between the two teams. Whenever Su Yang scores a shot, the entire arena cheers. The volume of more than 9000 people is so strong that it is about to explode. Turn over the roof.

Opposite the technical stage, in the TNT commentary seat, Marvin Abbott and Steve Kerr sat side by side.

"Steve, what do you think is worthy of attention in this game?"

"WELL, the first is the performance of Dirk Nowitzki and Zach Randolph. In the first round, Dirk averaged 27.3 points and Zach scored 15.6 points. It is the main scoring point inside the respective teams.

The second is the backboard protection of the Mavericks. In the first round of the game, the Clippers ranked first in the league in the number of offensive rebounds, and the number of offensive rebounds in the second round also ranked first in the league. Therefore, Tyson Chandler has a lot of tasks. important.

The third is the comparison of the scores of the two teams' substitute players. The Clippers averaged 41.8 points per game, ranking first in the league, but the Mavericks averaged 35.4 points per game, ranking fifth in the league, so the contest between the two teams' substitute players is very critical. "

"OK, what's your comment on Su Yang's statement that the Mavericks are stronger yesterday? You know, it was the first time he agreed with the public that other teams can cause them trouble. In the past, he always told the audience Guaranteed to win."

"That's his usual style. He's not polite, he's not arrogant, and he can always analyze his opponents seriously."

"Very well, now let's see, the starting players of the two teams match up..."

In the arena, the staff walked to Su Yang, leaned over and whispered, saying that Beckham had his birthday tonight.

Su Yang nodded knowingly, got up and walked towards the auditorium, with a professional smile, he went straight to Beckham's place.

Since the performance of the Clippers has improved, Beckham has come to the sidelines to watch the game more and more. He has gradually changed from a die-hard Lakers fan to a double Lakers and Clippers fan. Taking advantage of this special day, the management hopes that Su Yang can express his welcome .

"Hey, bro!" Su Yang smiled and raised his hand at Beckham, "Happy birthday to you."

Beckham got up, reached out to give Su Yang a high-five, "Thank you, and I wish you all the best tonight."

Su Yang nodded, and the two stood side by side tacitly. They immediately found the camera and set up a pose to take pictures.

There was a clicking sound, Su Yang patted Beckham on the shoulder, turned around and continued to walk towards Jessica Alba.

"WOO! Fake friendship, disgusting group photo, you guys are just taking advantage of each other!"

Su Yang turned his head when he heard the sound, and suddenly saw Mavericks owner Mark Cuban rolling his eyes and shaking his head. He was also wearing a blue Dallas Mavericks jersey, which was small and eye-catching among the white jerseys worn by Clippers fans.

These words were a bit embarrassing, and the audience on the sidelines all showed expressions of waiting for a good show, waiting for a reply.

Su Yang chuckled, and waved at Cuban, "Tell you logistics, you don't need to come to Los Angeles again!"

As soon as the words fell, the audience screamed and took out their mobile phones to snap shots at Su Yang.

Cuban got up and opened his mouth to respond, but Su Yang turned his head and walked away, all the cruel words were drowned in the cheers.

The long whistle sounded in a blink of an eye, and the referee Steve Javi reminded the starting players of the two teams to enter the field.Su Yang strode to the middle circle, high-fived Dirk, Kidd, and Marion, then walked to Stephenson and stood there waiting.

The audience cheered and shouted, followed by short whistles, and the game entered the final preparation moment.

Nowitzki kept jumping with his feet together, and sometimes he did a tummy hop, while Marion bent his back, put his hands on his knees, and bowed back and forth, while Chandler kept bending his legs in the opposite direction to touch the soles of his shoes. Like a thief applying poison to a knife.

For the Clippers, only Randy Foye, who replaced Baron Davis as the starting point guard, continued to raise his legs high to find a feeling. The other three starters, George, Randolph, and Jordan Jr., were relatively calm. It's for normal games.

The referee walked between Jordan and Chandler with the basketball in his arms, gestured for a while, and threw his hands up.

Clap!The basketball hit the palms of the two centers and was forced to fly towards the Clippers half court.

Foye trotted to catch the basketball and pushed forward slowly, and the cheers of the audience exploded again.

Randolph took the ball on the left wing, pretended to look at the corner, but turned around and threw the ball towards the top of the arc.

Su Yang caught the ball with both hands and raised it above his head to observe, while Stephenson rushed up quickly, half squatting and taking a defensive position.

"Not so, brother, not so..."

Stevenson was too serious, Su Yang felt tight and wanted to laugh a little, turned around and threw the ball to the right elbow.

George received the ball, stepped up to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and made a hand-to-hand pass back to cover.

Su Yang took the basketball, and as soon as he walked to the right wing position, Stevens stuck to him again.At the same time, Foye, who had been inserted into the bottom line before, had already used the double screens of Randolph and Jordan Jr. to go back to the high position on the left, leaving a large space in the right half.

With such an opportunity, it is most suitable for George to hit the basket.

Thinking of this, Su Yang suddenly stopped and turned around, his eyes suggested that George started, and then smashed the ball to the floor.

George understood in seconds, and immediately made a big stride, and the cooperation between the two of them was formed.

Marion didn't react at all, George rushed to the waist in a blink of an eye, and made an emergency stop to make a mid-range shot in front of Chandler.

when!The basketball hit the rim and rebounded. Marion jumped up and caught it, then turned and threw it to Kidd.

The Mavericks launched a counterattack, and Kidd slowly passed the ball across the center line and stopped on the edge of the LOGO.

Seeing his movement, Marion started running from the top of the arc, covered by Nowitzki, and rushed to the left 45-degree three-point line.

Kidd raised his hand to pass the ball, took advantage of the trend and rushed up, and also used Nowitzki to cover, and rushed to the left waist.

Mali lightly threw the ball back, Kidd took off slightly, raised his hand to catch it, and bent his knees to hit Foye with force.

"Amazing! A point guard looking for opportunities to play back and revive the glory of classical players!"

Su Yang sighed, and at the same time chased Stevenson out, but was delayed by Chandler's wall cover.

Jordan hurriedly stepped up to change defenses, but was blocked by Nowitzki.

For a while, the Clippers had no one guarding around Stevenson, and Kidd raised his hand and made a cross.

Stevenson received the ball wide open at the top of the arc, and Su Yang just squeezed through the screen and arrived, but Nowitzki stepped up the wall again.

Randolph rushed up to prepare for the delay, but Stevenson stepped around the screen and made a two-point shot.

when!The basketball bounced off the basket and flew directly out of the right sideline. Cheers immediately resounded throughout the audience.

The referee blew his whistle and called for a violation. The Clippers got the ball from the sideline of the backcourt, and George ran over to wait for the kick-off.

Su Yang stayed in the backcourt to respond, and quickly recalled and simulated the Mavericks' opening tactics just now. He felt that there were many easy opportunities to catch the ball between the back and forth running positions. personal advantage.

In a blink of an eye, Foye caught the ball and pushed it all the way to the right wing of the frontcourt, handing it to George.

George observed for a while, waited until Foye cut into the inside to open up space, and immediately passed the ball to LOGO.

Su Yang received the ball and held it high, and then passed to the left 45-degree three-point line, just where Randolph ran.

After passing the ball, Su Yang started and ran to the left wing. At the same time, Foye, who cut inside, used George's sideline cover to return to the top of the arc.As a result, the entire paint area was empty, Randolph immediately threw the ball to the basket, and Jordan turned around and jumped at the same time.

Bang!The basketball was dunked and the alley-oop cooperation failed.

A sigh erupted, but Randolph ran and jumped to catch the offensive rebound, turned and threw it to the top of the arc.

Su Yang received the ball wide open, and Stevenson, who had shrunk to grab the rebound before, flew back to the defense in a hurry.The audience cheered and shouted in advance. Su Yang sideways avoided Stevenson, took a step forward to find the rhythm, and also made an emergency stop to shoot two points.

Boom!The basketball rebounded into the net after hitting the basket.

In the commentary seat, Marvin smiled and said, "I just got the news that Su Yang said harsh words to Cuban, saying that the Mavericks' logistics team no longer need to consider the work in Los Angeles this season, implying that they will be swept 4-0 to advance. What do you think?"

Cole shook his head slightly: "He probably won't be able to do it this time. The Mavericks' opening tactic just now is quite powerful, which is enough to show that they are well prepared..."
