Chapter 299 Let me give you some science

Kobe did not agree to a plan to reduce playing time, on the grounds that he did not feel tired and even needed to play more to find his status.

But from Su Yang's point of view, Kobe seems to be worried about losing control completely, which means he opposes for the sake of opposing.

Su Yang was not bothered. At noon the next day, when the whole team set off for Sacramento, he deliberately sent the player's play plan to the players in advance, and the plan clearly marked that the two main veterans, Kobe and Gasol, would Night truce.

It was a complete conspiracy. Kobe responded with a few angry expressions on the spot, and then went to Su Yang to express his willingness to fight less.

"You won! I know you can really do it. You just took advantage of my enthusiasm, but there will be no next time!" Kobe was like an angry middle school student. The whole team has to boo.

"I'm really doing it for you..."

Su Yang painstakingly explained in detail, acting like the dean of a middle school, firmly insisting that Kobe's non-injury is a big victory.

The key is that the process of making Kobe change his mind is very interesting, and it is very likely to help Kobe maintain a "reasonable science" monster state for a long time. It is the same as Ermi Ai, Healthy Mai, Diligent Shark, and Full-force Zhan, which almost only exist in the player mode imagined by fans.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the entire Lakers team arrived in Sacramento. Instead of going to the hotel, they took the bus directly to the King's home court.

Taking advantage of the time when the players changed their training clothes, Su Yang arranged the key points of offense and defense, and incidentally encouraged Mike Roberts, who started the game.

During pre-match training, Kings player Travis Outlaw found Su Yang for a chat, lamenting that Roy officially announced his retirement, recalling the good times of the Trail Blazers, it has been four years, and who was there at the time, only Aldrie was left Chi alone.

Su Yang is also very emotional, knowing that McMillan's head coach position will soon be lost, and he can provide assistant coaching opportunities at that time.

At seven o'clock, the game officially started.

The king arranged for the newly signed Chuck Hayes to be the power forward. Although Su Yang knew about it a long time ago, he was still shocked to see it with his own eyes. Hayes' performance in the Rockets last season actually got a relatively large share from the king. middle class contract.

The key is to sign for 4 years at once. Su Yang can't help but suspect that the king's management has a brain hole, and they actually operate like that.

As soon as the game started, Su Yang let Mike Roberts's height and mid-range shooting threat be misplaced many times to suppress Hayes, and Hayes no longer had the courage to fight Garnett's low post-up, and Mike Roberts was slippery again. , completely unstoppable.

After a few rounds, the Kings coach Paul Westphal bit the bullet and blackened his face, and suspended Hayes.

Outlaw, who came off the bench, was quite fierce, but Su Yang immediately let the Lakers shift the focus of their offense and focus on Kobe.

Perhaps it is because time is limited and must be cherished. Kobe’s offensive end was full, and he succeeded in post-ups 4 times in a row. On the defensive end, he also took the initiative to switch to Tyreke Evans, the king’s outside player. In 3 minutes, Evans made 2 turnovers + 2 strike iron.

Because Evans' efficiency was too low, the Kings' offensive end became 4v5, falling into a scoring drought at every turn and difficult to break the game.

Taking advantage of Evans shooting hard again, Su Yang told Goodlock and other three rookies: "You must practice shooting well, especially if you have no other specialties. Anything with shooting can have tactical value. First, reflect your own role. ..."

A guard who doesn't shoot in the NBA, even if he is as strong as Ben Simmons, will be crazily targeted if he makes the playoffs.

But as long as there is a qualified three-pointer, even a defensive colander can help the team create a threat on the offensive end.

The game soon reached the substitute stage. The Kings sent Jimmy Fredette, a high-ranking rookie, the next Curry in the eyes of fans, an NCAA player, and a new hope for a white guard, hoping to take the opportunity to open up the situation and close the gap. to within ten.

It's quite normal to operate like that, but Su Yang was stunned to see the 175-centimeter Thomas playing at the same time.

What's even more irritating is that the king's starting shooting guard, 193 cm Marcus Thornton also stayed on the court, paired with Hayes and Outlaw, which made the king almost completely lose defense, and the head coach Westphal either didn't want to Do it, or people are stupid.

With such a showy operation, the Lakers' running tactics are like training in the Toyota Center, and they can easily get opportunities, no matter how they shoot.

When the main force of the Kings returned to the game, the Lakers led by 20 points, and the on-site commentator said that he didn't understand.

In this way, the Lakers defeated the Kings 111 to 95 and won the second consecutive victory in the opening game. The victory is a bit inexplicable.

Kobe only played 28 minutes, and Gasol only played 27 minutes. The back-to-back trip was much easier than expected.

Su Yang participated in the press conference after the game and bluntly stated that the Lakers were just playing normally, implying that the Kings lost more to him.

The Lakers team flew back to Los Angeles overnight, and after a night's rest, they continued to play against the visiting Utah Jazz at home.

Compared with the Lakers in three days and three games, the Jazz only played the first game of the season, and they have enough physical strength.

It's a pity that the Jazz doesn't have the sophisticated tactical system of the Sloan era in the new season. Harris, who replaced Deron, is not a master of organization.

At the end of the half, the Lakers didn't make much effort, and they still led the Jazz by as much as 15 points. The main reason was that the Jazz was too exaggerated. They only hit 50 of 12 shots. Attack style.

During the intermission, Time Warner commentator and Lakers star James Worthy sighed: "Many people only notice Su Yang's subtle tactics, but his constructive work off the court is the key to winning the championship. His positioning of players , the integration of the goals of the whole team, etc., can be called the strongest in the league. In contrast to a team like the Jazz, their head coach’s work is zero.”

Five minutes into the third quarter, Su Yang found that the Jazz's offensive and defensive ends were not improving, so he decisively let Kobe and Bynum rest.

Three days and three battles, even with load management, the consumption is very high, and patients like Bynum especially need protection.

Mike Roberts, who came off the bench, did not disappoint Kobe. He did a good job of supporting and picking and rolling, and did not reverse the situation.

After the whole game, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 97-71 and won three consecutive victories in the opening game. Rate.

After playing the Jazz, the Lakers got a day off. Su Yang and Jiang Rulan went to watch a movie and made figures together.

On the 29th, the Lakers played against the two-game losing streak at home against the Cavaliers.

Su Yang was quite upset that a bastard like Byron Scott could still serve as the head coach in the league. He especially wanted to beat up the Cavaliers. The quarter led by 12 points.

Scott didn't respond, and glared at the generals of the Cavaliers all the time, but Owen and the others didn't care about it at all, and beat them randomly.

The game entered the fourth quarter, and the Lakers led by as many as 27 points. It was definitely garbage time, but Su Yang didn't let the bench release water.

At the end of the game, the Lakers beat the Cavaliers 121 to 87. The team played with 13 players, and 8 of them scored in double figures.

Participating in the press conference after the game, Su Yang specifically emphasized that the Cavaliers are talented, but they just need better strategies.

Such provocative remarks triggered a small-scale discussion, but Scott's level is obvious to all, and he can only agree with it but not against it.

The Lakers rested for a day and played against the visiting Nuggets at home. The two towers dominated the rebounds and did not allow the Nuggets to play like a track and field team. win.

After the game, reporter Windhorst tweeted: "The Lakers, Thunder and Heat also started the game with five consecutive victories. Who is stronger?"

A fan left a comment and wrote: "To give you some popular science, the Lakers are now the league's first record, first in the league in defensive efficiency, second in the league in three-point shooting percentage, second in the league in second offense, second in the league in scoring off the bench, and second in the league in three-pointers. Superstars punched out of work without playing enough 30 minutes in several games. Kobe ranked first in the MVP with an average of about 30 minutes per game. There are three points, defense and defense, substitutes and substitutes, superstars and superstars, I have watched the Lakers for so many years, Kobe has never fought so rich..."
