Chapter 443 Our Messi

Hearing Cousins' words, Su Yang almost laughed out loud, and suddenly understood why Cousins ​​made such a weird speech.

People with low self-esteem and sensitivity tend to overreact to things around them. Cousins ​​is probably thinking at this moment: The team seems to be able to play well without me. What is the value of my existence? Well done, I'm going to FMD, did these teammates deliberately play me, why didn't I speed up when I was there, the mayor didn't mention me in his speech tonight...

In short, there is probably a lot of inner drama.

After thinking for a while, Su Yang said casually: "Boogie, it's a little surprising that we took a big lead in this game. You have to be prepared to counterattack against your opponent. The guy named Lillard on the opposite side is very good at shooting three-pointers, and he chases points very fast. quick…"

Cousins ​​nodded slowly, and was about to speak, when Lillard on the field suddenly rushed to shoot head-on, hitting the circle with a three-pointer and hitting the net.

Cousins ​​was stunned on the spot, turned around and the King's offense failed. The Blazers grabbed a rebound and launched a fast break. Lillard made another three-pointer.

With a 21-point lead, only 15 points remained in the blink of an eye.

Su Yang immediately yelled at Vazquez and Xavier, asking them to start defending Lillard from the backcourt and not to make shots.

The main cousin Lillard in the 13-14 season, after winning the best rookie, already felt a little unscrupulous, coupled with the influence of Curry's crazy three-pointers, and the trust of Trail Blazers coach Stotts, he shot three-pointers Nothing to worry about.

After a few more rounds, the pressing effect of the audience was very good. Lillard was finally held down, but Mo Williams got some easy scoring opportunities. Terry Stotts followed up with Alder and Batu Hum, the Blazers scoring tended to a normal pattern.

Su Yang sent Cousins ​​and Thomas Jr. at the same time, and the two teamed up with Gay to score points efficiently, helping the Kings lead the Trail Blazers by 15 points at the end of the half. They had fewer fouls and turnovers, more blocks and rebounds than the Blazers The assists are even better than the Blazers.

Returning to the locker room during the halftime break, Su Yang emphasized the issue of defensive rebound protection and asked the insiders to pay attention to positioning and assistance.

The king's generals led the team back to the arena, watched the Chinese acrobatic troupe's aerial bowl performance for a while, and warmed up by shooting in advance.

The third quarter started immediately. With the wonderful performance of Gay and Thomas Jr., the Kings tenaciously withstood the pressure of the Blazers to catch up and kept the 15-point lead until the last 2 minutes. Lillard once again started a three-pointer model.

In just 2 minutes, Lillard scored 4 three-pointers and once narrowed the point difference to only 6 points. However, at the last critical moment, Thomas Jr. used a cover to attack the basket and strongly caused a foul by Robin Lopez. A 2 +1, completely stabilized the situation.

At the end of the game, the Kings defeated the Trail Blazers 123 to 116, setting a new home opening game winning streak with 14 consecutive victories.

On the Trail Blazers side, Lillard made 14 of 8 three-pointers and scored 43 points. ESPN commented after the game that if Aldridge hadn't played abnormally, he only made 20 of 8 shots. The game is very likely to be another result. But Matthews also went 12 for 3 from the field.

Regarding the poor performance of Adelaide and Matthews, fans have speculated that the reason is that Su Yang once served as the head coach of the two, and he is too familiar with the technical characteristics of the two. Of course, the serious injury of the Blazers is also a factor in the loss. Occupy good luck.

For the Kings, Cousins ​​had 35 points, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 assist. The key was only 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. His emotional control was obviously better than before. Gay, the most expensive substitute in history, Super efficient and scored 32 points.

最为惊喜是还是七号新秀字母哥，全场11分11篮板3抢断2盖帽，在场时防守效率值（每100回合让对手得分）高达98，近乎是上个赛季最佳防守球员小加索尔同等水平。

Well-known commentator Stephen A. Smith and others tweeted praise for Antetokounmpo, and some fans dug up the draft analysis video, and then laughed at Bill Simmons who only said a few words, "Antetokounmpo and Durant are only one LeBron". Embarrassing jokes.

Su Yang returned to the locker room after the game, gathered everyone around, and said with a smile on his face: "We did a good job tonight! Giannis performed very well in his first show. Covington's two steals in the second quarter helped us quickly Expand the lead, Gobert doesn't have many chances to play this time, don't worry, the next game will be your performance moment, I know how good you are..."

"Thomas sent 12 assists tonight, setting a new career record, and 22 points, let us applaud him..."

"Gay, it's great to see you getting back into shape, and Cousins, you're going to be a first-team player this year, let's work together, I'm trying to be this year's All-Star head coach, and you two are trying to be All-Star players, Absolutely doable!"

Between the words, Su Yang turned into Mike Brown on the spot, and praised the king and generals in a fancy way, except that he didn't say I love you forever.

He also specially found someone to shoot the video, and then posted it on social platforms such as Weibo and Twitter to promote and display himself, increase contact with Kings fans all over the world, and let the Kings feel the attention that has become a hot topic. bird.

After the video was released, it gradually became popular on websites such as Youtube and AcFun, and it also received hundreds of thousands of views on platforms such as Weibo and Twitter. Many neutral fans expressed that they would follow the "King's Post-Match Dressing Room" series of videos, just to learn more about it. many.

In terms of new media promotion, Su Yang decided to go ahead of all the teams, and then develop more fans, through online sales and advertising business, to further make up for the difference in ticket revenue in the small ball market, and to increase the king's attractiveness to free agents.

Anyway, to open up a new road, it doesn't matter if Sacramento is small, and strive to become an online celebrity team and break the geographical blockade.

At [-] a.m. the next day, according to the previously planned plan, the Kings held a press conference for Cousins ​​to renew his contract in advance.

Su Yang wore a formal suit and a tie to attend, and he paid special attention to it. On the contrary, it was Cousins ​​himself who rushed here wearing a big speaker library.

As a rookie selected to the NBA in 10, Cousins ​​can renew his contract in advance before October 13, 10.

When negotiating the contract renewal, Su Yang and Sam Hinkie took turns to talk about it with good intentions. All kinds of examples made Cousins ​​and his agent give up the five-year maximum salary renewal request. It was not that they were unwilling to give the maximum salary. Instead, signing a 5-year maximum salary in advance will limit the King's pursuit of big names in the free market during the 5-year off-season, and it will also make Cousins ​​suffer when the salary cap rises sharply in 14.

At first, Cousins ​​thought that Su Yang cheated him, looked down on him, and didn't think about him for a long time, until Su Yang cited the example of Pippen signing a long-term contract in advance and causing serious losses, and proposed to sign for four years, and the player option to opt out of the contract in the fourth year, he Only then did I really understand.

The new contract is about 4 million in 6400 years, with rewards such as All-Star, MVP and a team, and a 20% transaction margin.

There were more than 30 media room attendees, some of whom were paid to fill up the scene, but the king's win did not bring more attention.

ESPN team reporter Lindsay first asked: "Mr. Su Yang, what are your expectations for the future of Cousins?"

Su Yang turned his head and looked at Cousins ​​with a smile: "He will become a symbol of the Sacramento Kings in the 21st century. I regard him as a player like Tim Duncan. He will be our Tom Brady, our Messi..."

　Miserable!No recommendation, streaking for three consecutive weeks, need to vote for encouragement!
