start with scouting

Chapter 447 Jordan also learned from me (so pure deacon Jiageng)

Regarding what Su Yang said in the post-match interview, many fans commented, and ESPN also analyzed it in the "JUMP" program.

Pippen commented: "The King ranked second to last in the Western Conference last season and only won 27 games in total. If they can reach the second round of the playoffs this season, aside from crazy ideas such as black eight or black seven, the regular [-]th or [-]th in the tournament, beating a lackluster team like the Trail Blazers or the Rockets is the ideal way for them to advance to the second round, but that's hard..."

Stephen Smith snatched the words: "I know it's crazy to go from second to last in the West to first. That's what Steve Nash did, but why don't you imagine the Kings ranking second, third or fourth? That's four consecutive championships Coach Su Yang!"

"I know, I know!"

Pippen waved again and again: "I knew that Su Yang was the head coach of four consecutive championships, so I predicted that the Kings would have a chance of fifth or sixth. The three teams on the ship are super strong, even if the king is led by Su Yang, he still needs to compete with the four teams of the Trail Blazers, Rockets, Grizzlies, and Warriors, it is very difficult..."

The debate between the two failed to come to a conclusion. ESPN turned to Twitter to launch voting statistics. More than [-]+ fans believed that the Kings could not advance to the second round of the playoffs. The main argument was that the Kings’ previous opponents were too contemptuous, like the Blazers Just pay attention to that.

Some fans also pointed out that at the beginning of the regular season every year, there will always be many weak teams winning streak or high winning games, but the whole season will take 82 games, and there will be many variables in the future. The team will be unstoppable.

Su Yang saw those arguments and thought they were quite reasonable, but he voted to believe them as usual and retweeted ESPN.

Thomas Jr. then reposted it, Cousins ​​and Antetokounmpo followed up one after another, and finally even Durant reposted in support, but left a cruel comment: "I hope Coach Su Yang can successfully save the Kings who are in the quagmire, but two Don't meet us again..."

Su Yang replied with a smiling expression, turned his head and continued to study the opponents in the next few games, preparing to lead the team to build confidence.

November NO.15, Kings vs. Pistons at home.

During the off-season, Pistons general manager Joe Dumars finally gave up and chose to give up supporting Rodney Stuckey, who had wanted Iverson to be a substitute. At the same time, he dismissed his employer coach Lawrence Frank, and spent a lot of money to introduce Josh Smith and Janning. s.

That kind of operation seems to be a lot of work.

It's also like Joe Dumars' last madness. After all, the Pistons haven't made the playoffs for several years, and they have to leave if they don't have any results.

Joe Dumars said at the media meeting for the new season that he would reuse rookies, especially Andre Drummond, Greg Monroe, and this year's rookie Mamba Pope.But since the start of the new season, the Pistons have 2 wins and 5 losses, which is a bit cool.

At 08:30, when the game started and the whistle sounded, Su Yang summoned the whole team to make the final arrangement: "Remember, our opponents tonight are not united. We double-team Rodney Star, who needs good data to renew his contract." Kee, short Jennings who just signed a big contract..."

Stuckey signed a 11-year contract with the Pistons in 3. He needs to re-sign after this season. He urgently needs excellent data to prove his ability. Data is required.

Su Yang is also more disciplined. This kind of attack and alienation tactics is sometimes far more effective than conventional defensive strategies.

Amidst the cheers, Cousins ​​won the jump ball, and the Kings made the first attack from UCLA with an air cut, and Millsap singled out Monroe.

Monroe is the kind of player whose defensive positioning is awkward in the interior. He is not strong enough to defend against the center and lacks the spirit of confrontation. lose points.

The Pistons were easy to attack, and Josh Smith, who served as a small forward, met the menacing Antetokounmpo and made a jumper at will.

The basketball was banging like iron, Su Yang laughed out loud when he saw this, thinking that the Pistons were too chaotic, and Josh was not effective as a small forward. He likes to shoot basketballs, so he was nicknamed "Jiangshou" in shooting.

After thinking about it again, Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks has no good idea. Monroe and Drummond occupy two inside positions, and Josh can only be placed at the small forward position, not to mention Cheeks himself. Not very stable, he is the third head coach of the Pistons in four seasons, it is very likely that this season will not be finished, and he will be replaced by an unknown assistant because of the blame.

While Su Yang was thinking, as Vazquez made a layup, the Kings led 10 to 2, and the Pistons hurriedly requested a timeout.

It's a pity that the timeout is useless. The Pistons' mid-range and long-range shots are too poor. Monroe and Drummond are the kind of insiders who can only eat cakes. For double-teaming, the ball is not yet a threat.

After halftime, the Kings led 59 to 48. Cousins ​​made 12 of 7 shots and was very happy playing Drummond.

Back from halftime, the game continued in the third quarter. The Kings continued to attack and defend as usual, but the Pistons exploded themselves. Starkey started to play badly.

Whenever Marcus Thornton moves without the ball, Stuckey follows up symbolically, leaving a lot of space and time.Whenever Stuckey couldn't get the ball, he didn't pass the ball no matter how double-teamed, but bit the bullet or made a mistake, the rest of the Pistons didn't care.

After three quarters, the Pistons collapsed.

The fourth quarter turned into garbage time. The Kings won 117 to 90. Cousins ​​scored 34 points and 13 rebounds. Thomas Jr. made 11 of 6 shots and scored 18 points and 7 assists. Compared with the starting point guard Vazquez 13 points and 6 assists, even better.

In the post-match press conference, when talking about why he was able to win a big victory, Su Yang said with a smile: "I really like Coach Holzman's famous saying, basketball tactics are not rocket technology, just create vacancies, the head coach is the most difficult It’s about getting people’s hearts…”

In the chaotic situation of the Pistons, how can they win.

Anyway, people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.

That night, "Bleacher Report" published a feature article, mentioning that after Su Yang became the boss of the king, he first cleaned up the internal employees, let some moth employees leave automatically, and raised the wages of the old employees, including temporary workers such as cheerleaders and caddies.

Improving the meal supplement standard for away trips was also mentioned, and "Bleacher" emphasized that Su Yang made all employees happy.

As the head coach, Su Yang also basically made Cousins ​​less prone to lose control of his emotions as before, and made Gay, who ranked 14th in the league in salary, willingly serve as a substitute, and adjusted Thomas' positioning so that his work off the court was better than on the court. And more.

The Jordan spokesperson reposted the "Bleacher Report" article and wrote: "5 minutes ago, after reading this report, Michael Jordan was shocked and decided to learn from Su Yang how to lead a team and let the Bobcats reach the season as soon as possible. Playoff level."

Fans saw the news and commented: Jordan has been the big boss of the Bobcats for three years, and he has not led the team to improve. It is true that Su Yang can learn advanced experience, but I don’t think he can learn it. Morrison.

Early the next morning, Su Yang received a call from Jordan.

"Su, come to my villa for the King's away game against the Bobcats at the end of the year. I want to ask you for advice..."

Su Yang replied casually: "I'll check the schedule first."

After a day off, the Kings played against the Grizzlies at home. They fought hard for four quarters, and finally lost by 5 points. The main reason is that there is no absolute strength.

Then the Kings defeated the Suns at home, flew to Phoenix overnight, and defeated the Suns in back-to-back away games, gaining a major advantage in the playoffs, and then flew to Los Angeles to prepare for the next period of continuous Taiping District melee.

ESPN updated the power rankings at the same time. A total of 11 games have been played, and the Kings have 9 wins and 2 losses, only behind the Spurs, Pacers, Heat, and Thunder, ranking fifth in the league.Many fans liked and forwarded it, thinking that it was Su Yang's confidence to advance to the second round.
