Chapter 500 how lonely is invincible

Game day seven.

After waking up at noon, Su Yang just finished a short video meeting with the company on related functions. The team doctor Tom came to report: "Gay has been attacked by the flu, and his body temperature is currently high. It is predicted that he will not be able to play in the evening game, but the possibility of a quick recovery cannot be ruled out. .”

"Let him rest, this time the four-game streak is not bad for him, don't get injured or infect other players..."

Su Yang didn't think much about it, the King's talent pool was too strong, and against the small Suns, they could play casually without Guy.

After lunch, the whole team took the bus to the US Airways Center, home of the Suns, but saw that the name of the arena had been changed to 'Toggins Stick Resort Hotel'. I didn't know that I thought it was a vacation. The broken name didn't look good. Luckily, but compared to changing to "Footprint Center" in the future, it sounds like a footwashing city, which is acceptable. It is better to use the name before 06 - Meixi Arena.

The pre-match training ensued, and the scout handed in the analysis report. Su Yang took a quick look and saw 'Since the start of the game, Dragic made 11 of 0 three-pointers', and also saw 'PJ Tucker was squeezed out of the starting lineup , the Morris brothers served as the big and small starters, and also saw that "in the past 110 games with more than 26 points, the Suns won 25 of them."

The game kicked off at [-] o'clock. The Suns set up a starting combination of Bledsoe + Dragic + Morris Brothers + Plumlee. Keefe Morris pulled out to make room.

Curry went to run without the ball, and frequently shuttled back and forth with the cover of Antetokounmpo and Cousins, which made Bledsoe, who was good at defending with the ball and stretched without the ball, quite a headache. It is also necessary to prevent Cousins ​​from shooting mid-range and long-range shots.

Turning to the defensive end, he simply shrank the inside line, did not give Bledsoe a chance to break through, and deliberately relaxed Dragic's long-range shots.

Bledsoe, who did not make a breakthrough, finished the first quarter with a total of 8 of 1, which is far from worth the price of 5 million U.S. dollars in five years. Many Suns fans teased Suns general manager Ryan McDonnell on Twitter and other platforms. Call it a big paratrooper.

In addition, the King's scoring efficiency is high and the defense is extremely fast. It is difficult for the Suns to make a fast break and counterattack, and Bledsoe's impact advantage is also lost.

The outside line cannot be opened, and the Sun's inside line is useless.

The score has been slow to increase, and it is far away from 110 points.

After the game entered the bench stage, the Suns sent PJ Tucker, but Tucker's function was icing on the cake, and he couldn't help it in a timely manner. With Gerald Green, and the Kings didn't want to sign the Suns Ramon Sessions, there was no chance to play 3D .

After three quarters, it is garbage time. Curry has scored 25 points, including 6 free throws, but he is unwilling to continue playing. Su Yang persuaded: "Getting 30 points is very helpful for you to hit the MVP. You can write and write consecutively." How many 30+ reports..."

"Coach, 30+ points in a row is not worth making news, let's leave time to Langston Galloway..."

Hearing what Curry said, Su Yang still wanted to stay in Quanzhou. After all, he could write a news article for 30 consecutive 15+5 games to tie the longest record in history, but he saw Langston Galloway sitting not far away. Watching helplessly, I thought to myself, if you don't fight, you won't fight.

Galloway then appeared on the field, Su Yang thought for a moment, and then told the media personnel sitting behind: "Write a piece of news, saying that Curry doesn't care about 30+ consecutive statistics, and is more willing to let undrafted teammates get a chance, even at the expense of MVP Honor doesn’t frown, it’s best to post the video and recording on Twitter, of course, remember to delete the following paragraphs, understand?”

In short, this article is [-] cents, delete it in brackets.

The media personnel nodded and said yes, and then proposed to "inadvertently disclose to reporters" and let a third party report, which is more credible.

Su Yangxin said yes, and immediately approved.

After the game was over between the talks, the Kings defeated the Suns 114-92 to achieve six consecutive victories. Six members of the team scored in double figures. Galloway scored two or three points in a row at the last moment. Debut sent 3 blocks.

After a night of rest, the king flew to Oklahoma at noon the next day. Su Yang asked Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka out for dinner in advance. Rant smiled and said: "Coach, I originally wanted to go to you for 16 years. After all, the Kings are a weak team in history, but you seem to lead the team to win the championship. I have no chance..."

Su Yang smiled and said nothing. Westbrook seemed a little angry, but Durant was joking and didn't get too entangled.

Ibaka said without thinking: "You can go to the Warriors, you don't occupy the ball, and the lethality with LeBron is amazing."

Westbrook was completely stunned when he heard the words, and the three hurried to comfort them, but it is also true that the Thunder have no hope of winning the championship in the next few years.

At [-] pm the next day, the game between the Kings and the Thunder started, and Westbrook was temporarily absent due to increased water in his knees.

Durant did educate Antetokounmpo with the explosive hammer, but without Westbrook attacking the King's backcourt, those scores hurt but didn't hurt.

The two teams finished the first three quarters happily, and started to work hard in the fourth quarter. Reggie Jackson, who was making a deal, suddenly slumped. Not to mention too many balls, he made 7 of 1 key shots, which made Durant unable to recover. Build a 10+ lead.

After the game was over, five players from the team scored in double figures. The Kings beat the Thunder 109-98 and won a seven-game winning streak.

On the same night, the Rockets lost to the Warriors in Golden State, stopped at six consecutive victories, and sent the Kings to the league's first throne.

ESPN reported after the game that data expert Hollinger cited various data and emphasized that the Kings have the hope of achieving the highest offensive efficiency in history. Too little time.

The report did not trigger much discussion, mainly except for the first game against the Warriors, the Kings did not play too many classic games.

There were few off-site discussions, and there was not much running water.

In an interview, Pat Riley unexpectedly praised: "We have internally regarded the King as our opponent in the finals..."

NO.11, the King challenged the Mavericks away.

Gay has fully recovered from the flu and performed well during the pre-match training. He took the scout report and took the initiative to find Su Yang: "What's the matter with this player called Chandler Parsons? I heard that he has something, why did he come to Su Yang?" 20 for 2 in two games?"

Su Yang chuckled: "Some players will lose motivation to train and compete after getting a big contract, understand what I mean?"

Su Yang also read the scout report. Parsons made all three-pointers in the first three games.

There is no way, Cuban loves white players, Parsons performed so well in the Rockets, and he has a good-looking bonus.

After some discussion, Guy begged to defend Parsons in the second quarter, and Su Yang naturally agreed, anyway, he would fight anyway.

At 07:30, the game started.

The king's defense is directly full. Curry restricts the short guard Nelson through his height and speed advantages. LaVine and Green actively communicate and cooperate to almost perfectly limit the high pick-and-roll of Ellis and Nowitzki. Antetokounmpo locks up Parsons , very cruel.

Tyson Chandler is very active in the pick-and-roll, but Nelson is neither Paul nor Calderon, making him less efficient.

After the first quarter, the Kings led 32-14.

In the second quarter of the game, Parsons came on the field early to lead the Mavericks as a substitute, but Gay did what he said, and Parsons was quite embarrassed. There is a 9-point gap, but it is a home whistle bonus.

The Kings committed 13 fouls in a single quarter.

Probably because of Nowitzki's record night, there is hope to surpass Olajuwon and become the overseas player with the most points.

Back from the halftime break in the third quarter, the referee was embarrassed to give the Mavericks so many home calls. The Kings defended again and won the Mavericks by as much as 15 points. They entered the fourth quarter with a 24-point lead, but the Mavericks He didn't give up, but took the initiative to seek change.

Substitutes Devin Harris and Aminu were reduced to playing time, and the Mavericks fought with all their main force early, chasing a lot of points.

Su Yang rotated as usual, and when Curry and other main players came on the stage, the victory was sealed in one wave, but Nowitzki still broke the record.

After the game, the Kings defeated the Mavericks 118 to 101 and won eight consecutive victories, of which Gay scored 36 points.

The whole team flew to Memphis overnight, rested for half a day, and challenged the Grizzlies back to back for four quarters.

The four-game winning streak ended, and the king returned to Saskatchewan with a nine-game winning streak. Su Yang felt invincible after seeing all kinds of praise reports.

Even O'Neill, who held a grudge, admitted that the king was super strong. After Su Yang saw it, he imitated O'Neill and tweeted on a whim.

"Leaving aside the honor, purely in terms of technology, in the case of manual testing, Iverson or Tracy McGrady, who is better at breaking through?"
