The response was quickly reported, and many fans and commentators came out to participate, and the number of discussions on related topics increased sharply.

The well-known commentator Kevin Pelton tweeted: I don't think Su Yang needs to mention the Suns' deals that were to be discussed before. It's just to divert the fact that he used the Suns' tactics a lot. There was no problem at all. After all, even coach Popovich also used the Suns' tactics, but Su Yang was too guilty to do that. If he really had confidence, then don't use the Suns tactics.

Nuggets player Kenyon Martin reposted Kevin Pelton's tweet and wrote: 100% agree! That guy can only design some tactics for five All-Stars to play well, but what tactics cannot be played by the five All-Stars? It is ridiculous that he can be elected as the best coach of the year. He has been stealing league results from the Trail Blazers to the Thunder.

ESPN then launched a voting statistics. More than 80% of fans believe that Su Yang does not have his own offensive system and cannot be considered a tactical master. The Thunder's good record is because Durant and others are too powerful, and the management trades to get a defensive gate like Chandler.

Suns boss Robert Sa Savor also tweeted through his assistant: If Su Yang is a man of kindness, he should give up using the Suns' tactics in the second round and use the tactical system he created to fight the Suns.

What's more amazing is that almost no one discusses Su Yang's statement that he will focus on attacking the Sun's flanks. Only some anonymous news says that the flank defense is indeed the Sun's biggest shortcoming, and Su Yang said that he was nakedly provoking, so the Sun must be very anxious inside.

Faced with all kinds of discussions, Su Yang led the team to train as usual every day, and also dug out the tactical manuals that were designed around Durant, so that the whole team could practice a little. On the one hand, he planned to fight back against those questions, and on the other hand, he was ready to attack the Suns off guard.

On the second day of the game on May 2, after the regular training at noon, Su Yang rushed to Ford Center in advance to prepare early.

Until three o'clock in the afternoon, Durant and others arrived one after another. The Thunder team first warmed up the shooting and then held a meeting to discuss.

In view of the performance of the Spurs in the first round and the actual situation of the second round against the Suns, Su Yang temporarily decided to let Wesley Matthews replace Sefrosa as the starting shooting guard, and specifically asked Sefrosa to talk and communicate in private.

Halfway through his words, Sefrosa rushed to say, "Coach, I understand what you mean. You don't have to worry about me being depressed or being lazy in the game. You let me find a new position, and I have no reservations about my trust in your coaching."

"I will let you return to the starting lineup in the Western Conference Finals. Now this arrangement is mainly to deal with the potential joint defense of the Suns..."

Su Yang is blunt, Sefrosa's three-point shooting rate is relatively low, and it will be embarrassing to start with Westbrook, but if it is against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, Sefrosa needs to defend Kobe very much. Matthews's experience is almost in trouble and his health is also at a disadvantage.

After completing the starting schedule, Su Yang gave a pre-match chicken soup speech, encouraging the players to prepare for the upcoming glory.

By 6:30, he entered the media center for pre-match interviews from various reporters. The first question was how to respond.

"Yes, I have seen those questions about me personally, mainly because I don't have a self-created tactical system, or I will only arrange a worthless tactical system for the five All-Stars, hoping that I can come up with something new to prove myself...

So, I will tell those fans, commentators or others who are questioning here that I have a hundred ways to defeat your doubts. I will demonstrate several of them to you tonight. You can watch them well and learn them well..."

At about seven o'clock, the national anthem was played and the Western Conference playoff semi-finals between the Thunder and the Suns were about to begin.

More than 19,000 fans cheered and applauded. Su Yang walked to the technical station to communicate with the referee and confirmed. He heard many fans shouting his name to show support. He pretended to be calm and did not respond. After walking back to the bench and sat down, he waved to the camera.

The movements appeared simultaneously on the central screen, and the audience shouted Su Yang in unison, as if we were welcoming the MVP.

And in the ESPN commentator's seat, Jeff Van Gundy looked envious: "He is so popular with fans. He is a bit like Cardinal Auerbach of the past. He represents the city where the team is located like the superstars of the team. That is my biggest dream in coaching."

Mark Jackson smiled and said, "Actually, it has little to do with tactical style and team record. The main reason is that he is handsome, domineering and gentle, and he can almost always do what he says. As long as he is not his opponent, it is difficult to hate him..."

The long whistle sounded immediately, and the starting players of the two teams entered the stadium and the central large screen showed the positioning situation.

On the Thunder, Westbrook, Matthews, Durant, Ibaka, Chandler.

Over the Sun, Nash, Richardson, Grant Hill, ‘Little S’ Studmeier, Robin Lopez.

The referee held the ball and stood in the middle circle, made a stand, and then held the ball with both hands and threw it vertically upward.

Bang! Chandler touched the ball first, then moved backwards, and the basketball flew straight to the Thunder halftime.

"Yeah..." The audience cheered and shouted, Westbrook trotted and slowly advanced forward.

According to Su Yang's pre-match arrangement, Durant and Chandler separated the left and right sides of the free throw line, while Matthews and Ibaka separated the left and right bottom corners. That position is somewhat similar to the Suns' favorite horn position, but the tactical focus is completely different.

Westbrook dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, passed it to Durant at will, and ran over to build a wall to cover it.

Durant took the ball and bowed to start, rushed to the top of the arc with two big steps, and then borrowed Chandler to cover it, completely got rid of the defensive pursuit, twisted his hips like lightning and cut into the paint area on the right, relied on his speed advantage to force his breakthrough through Lopez, jumped high, and slashed with one hand.

Bang! Basketball frying baskets into the net.

The Thunder scored two points first, and the Ford Center cheered and the audience sat back on the bench happily.

ESPN commentator, Jackson stared at the video playback on the computer: "Su Yang really wants to hit back at those voices questioning him. This attack just now is completely different from the Suns' common attacks, and there are many subsequent changes. He is prepared."

Bolling asked: "How to distinguish the difference between the two?"

"It's very simple. The Suns' horn tactics are mainly driven by point guards and big pick-and-rolls." Van Gundy said, "and the Thunder's tactics just now were obviously driven by Durant's personal super offensive ability, so they stand directly in the elbow area."

While talking, Xiao Si carried the Thunder inside duo to make a layup, and the others of the Suns quickly retreated.

Chandler got the rebound, Westbrook slowly advanced, and the Thunder team repeated the previous position.

Cheers were everywhere in the stadium, Westbrook dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and was about to pass it to Durant, but saw Hill interfering with the passing route. Lopez, in the elbow area on the right, was eager to move sideways in advance and delayed the ball immediately, and immediately passed the ball to Chandler.

The moment the basketball took off, Westbrook headed straight for Durant, pretending to continue to cover Durant.

Hill hurriedly set off a cover posture, but Durant turned around and cut inward in tacitly, and Chandler also rushed to the basket at the same time.

Perhaps the Sun had already made arrangements. Seeing Durant cut in, Lopez in the right elbow area and Richardson in the left bottom corner suddenly shrank and attacked in the basket, but Durant received the basketball and threw it to the left bottom corner without hesitation.

With cheers all over the court, Matthews received the ball at an open space, ignored the sun bench behind him and shouted to interfere, and made a steadily three-pointer.

Swish! The basketball is hollow into the net, 5 to 0.

The Suns immediately made a quick attack, Richardson received the ball and ran, passing it to Nash at the center line, and the whole team advanced together in three lines.

Nash received the ball and rushed for a few big steps, suddenly raised his hand and did not look at the long pass. The basketball flew straight to the 45-degree three-point line on the left.

Hill, who was running at full speed, received the ball, crossed and stepped along, broke through Durant like a flash, and rushed straight to the basket.

Booed in the stadium, Hill rushed to the basket smoothly, skillfully grabbed the ball, and gently wiped the board and set the basket.

Bang! Iba's nail-board hat that was raided for a long distance.

Cheers suddenly exploded in the stadium, the basketball rebounded and flew backwards, Durant reached out to receive the ball, turned around and rushed forward.

Westbrook followed up simultaneously, forcibly threw away the defense and rushed to the free throw line, raised his hand to catch the long pass, and took a step and took a jump.

Bang! Westbrook's Battle Axe buckles, Thunder leads 7-0.
Chapter completed!
