Chapter 43
The plane arrived in Philadelphia in the early morning, and everyone slept until noon and got up. Before they had finished their lunch, the head coach McMillan announced that there would be training in the afternoon. The project was just the most common shooting training, but the players still felt that they would be too tired.
Outlaw and others did not dare to complain to McMillan, but only complained to Su Yangxian while chatting.
After lunch, Su Yang ran to McMillan's room and directly suggested canceling training, or not forcing training. After all, he had just played back-to-back Nuggets, and he will continue to play the 76ers tomorrow. It is best to have a buffer period in between to let the players relax.
McMillan couldn't understand Su Yang's suggestion. Instead, he thought that in the fourth quarter of the game against the Nuggets, the main players didn't play, so they shouldn't feel tired, and it was just the most basic shooting training, and they didn't ask to run laps yet.
For example, Su Yang said that it was like working six days in a row, taking a break on Sunday, but being asked by the boss to prepare materials for the meeting on Monday. Although it is not really a high-intensity job, it is very uncomfortable if the mind is not released.
McMillan retorted that as a head coach, as long as it is during the season, he maintains high-intensity work almost every day. When he was a player before, he never felt resistance to this kind of shooting training. It is difficult to understand the thoughts of young people.
That kind of inference made Su Yang feel helpless for the time being.
But he didn't give up, and instead thought of another way, he decided to turn the boring shooting into a game.
He casually bought two Eminem rap albums in the hotel, and said that he would reward the player with the highest mid-range shooting percentage. Although the players could not eliminate their physical fatigue, at least they would not feel so bad psychologically.
All the players were very interested in his proposal, the boring training became quite lively, and the complaints disappeared.
After the training, McMillan approached Su Yang and said bluntly that the players' lazy attitude should not be indulged. They can be free on the court, but they must be rigorous off the court.
Su Yang understands McMillan's thinking. After all, as long as there is training, players will have less time to fool around.
A trip to a nightclub, getting involved in marijuana and alcohol, etc. is not bad, but getting stabbed like Pierce is terrible.
But he also insisted that the string should not be stretched too tightly, it must be relaxed, otherwise it will easily collapse.
On the afternoon of NO.16, the Trail Blazers team rushed to the Wachovia Center Arena, home of the 76ers.
At the entrance, Su Yang saw four oversized simplified Chinese characters in 'Sports Center', and felt like he was in the wrong place.But on second thought, the bosses of the 76ers and several managements prefer to please Chinese fans, and the Chinese signs are considered normal.
Before the game started, McMillan announced the starting lineup, and Frye served as the starting center for the fifth consecutive game.
Frye was very happy, and found Su Yang to express his gratitude, saying that if Su Yang hadn't suggested him to be the starting center and allowed him to shoot three-pointers, his statistics this season should continue to decline, which would seriously affect his career.
Su Yang said that it was a trivial matter. Frye was unlucky before, and he just got him back on track.
Originally a space center, in his first year as a rookie, Frye averaged 24 points in 12 minutes per game under a coach like Larry Brown who was extremely harsh on rookies. He was regarded by New York as the future hope and the core of the team.
But the Knicks owner Dolan was impatient and had brain problems. He signed the famous coach Larry Brown on a five-year contract, but only gave Larry Brown one season, and let Thomas, who was extremely poor, take over as the Knicks head coach.
Under Thomas, Frye's playing time increased slightly, but his scoring average dropped to 9.5.The Knicks management felt that Frye was an embarrassing task, and turned around as an extra to deal with Francis' big contract, and packaged it up and sent it to the Blazers.
What Su Yang helped Frye was to make the Blazers truly realize the value of Frye. Otherwise, according to the original historical trajectory, Frye’s playing time under McMillan dropped to 17 minutes, and his scoring average dropped to 6.8. point.
In the original historical trajectory, Frye's average dropped to 4.2 points per game in his second year with the Blazers.
But after his rookie contract ended, he signed with the Suns, and his scoring soared to 11.2 points. He averaged 4.8 three-pointers per game and was able to hit 2.1. He even made 12 of 9 three-pointers in a single game, and gradually became the main center of the Suns.
Frye is a typical case of "moving the dead and moving the tree", but he is indeed a system player.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the game between the two teams officially started.
According to the strategy formulated by Su Yang, Roy and others strictly guarded against the inside and deliberately let the 76ers shoot three-pointers, because the average number of three-pointers made by the 76ers per game ranked first in the league, and the shooting percentage was as low as 31.7%. Quite rare.
The 76ers didn't think about the three-point strategy, and the offensive end became very awkward. Unless they got a super wide open, they resolutely refused to shoot three-pointers. Leading by 7 points.
In the second quarter, the Blazers still scored three points.
The 76ers still had nothing to do, and the offensive rebounds became more fierce. The "devil muscle man" Iguodala and the "rebound fool" Reggie Evans grabbed 6 offensive rebounds in total, but the 76ers Only scored 13 points in a single quarter.
After halftime, the Blazers led the 45ers 27 to 76, and the fans yelled at them.
During the intermission, Su Yang chatted with the scouts at the same time, and noticed that the head coach of the 76ers was the former Trail Blazers coach Morris Cheeks. The level is worrying.
In the third quarter of the game, on the 76ers side, Iguodala and Lu Wei stood up and scored 18 points in total.
As for the Blazers, Adelaide and Frye performed equally well, losing only 1 point in a single quarter.
The Blazers entered the fourth quarter with a 17-point advantage, ready to play steadily and win the game steadily.
I once thought that the referee suddenly made trouble. Webster was called for three fouls in a row, Outlaw was called for two fouls in a row, which directly caused the Blazers to interrupt the scoring rhythm, and the 76ers played a wave under the leadership of Lu Wei. tied.
McMillan stomped his feet angrily, and Su Yang temporarily suggested that Blake and Jack play at the same time, teaming up with Roy to play a three-back lineup, entangle Iguodala and Lu Wei on the defensive end, and never mind the other two blue-collar Evans and Dayton of the 76ers. M Bottler.
As for the offensive end, Lu Wei and Andre Miller are both poor defensively, and they can definitely fight offensively.
The three-back lineup is a bit exaggerated for McMillan, but he still accepts Su Yang's suggestion.
Blake came on the stage immediately, entangled Lu Wei as expected, and hit a three-pointer.
At the end of the game, Thaddeus Young of the 76ers missed a free throw and the Blazers narrowly won 92 to 91.
In the locker room after the game, Su Yang was also arranged to be interviewed by reporters. When talking about the 76ers' super attack in the fourth quarter, he bluntly said that it was purely due to the poor professional level of referees, and it was definitely not a problem with Webster and Outlaw's defense. .
The reporter reminded him that such remarks might be fined by the league, and he insisted on not changing his answer.
At the end of the interview, Outlaw approached Su Yang and said that if the league fined him, he would help bear it. After all, as an assistant coach, Su Yang’s salary is only so small. A fine of [-] US dollars is a bit hurtful, and he was fined only for speaking for him.
Webster also said that he would help to bear the burden, Su Yang agreed with a smile, knowing that money is not the point.
At noon the next day, the Blazers flew to Washington to challenge the Wizards back to back.
The whole team was exhausted, plus four games in five days, and the middle training did not relax, and their physical strength was seriously lacking.Players such as Wizards Butler, Jamison, and Heywood are also strong, with relatively balanced offense and defense, and basically no major loopholes.
The Blazers forced the game to the end of the fourth quarter, faced a 23-point disadvantage, and took the initiative to admit defeat.
The whole team set off overnight and arrived in Charlotte at three o'clock in the morning.
According to the schedule, the Blazers have a day off, but McMillan asked to keep training.
After the players received the notice, Outlaw and others publicly resisted, but Przybilla and others were willing to accept.
Seeing that the players had different opinions, Su Yang knew that things were a bit difficult, but it was still within controllable range.
