Chapter 511 Kung Fu pays off

Things like the All-Star ticket king are more dependent on people.

Some people rely on their style of play and personality to attract fans. Even if they have no championship or honor, they can be elected even if they are not qualified. For example, Grant Hill was elected as the All-Star vote champion in his rookie season. Ticket King Jordan.

There are also people who rely on strong backing to win the votes, such as Dayao, who can be elected by Chinese fans by voting casually.

But since the NBA no longer counts the All-Star votes of Chinese fans, and the new media has gradually emerged, the All-Star vote king has gradually become a need for both strength and style, and has to rely on media operations. The closest player to the backing vote leader is Griffin, who was so popular in his rookie season that he far surpassed Fat Tiger.

Su Yang thought about it. He didn't play against the Warriors recently, so he must continue to let Curry let go and attract more fans.

Rest for three days, on January [-]th, the Kings will play against the Pistons.

It may be because of successfully sending away the cancerous Josh Smith and confirming that Monroe and Drummond are the inside cores. The recent record of the Pistons is not bad. to four in a row.

The new Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy was interviewed before the game, bluntly saying that the team will definitely respond to the last fiasco against the Kings.

The new general manager Jeff Ball emphasized that the Pistons have officially completed the reconstruction and will make every effort to hit the playoffs with a bright future.

The famous Isiah Thomas, as a guest of TNT, visited the Palace of Auburn Hills to commentate in person, and he boasted that the battle with the king was [-]-[-].

The game started at 07:30, and the Kings made a quick 16-0.

It’s not how hard the Kings play. Curry hasn’t even made a three-pointer. The main reason is that Drummond’s offensive and defensive skills are too poor to give him any confrontation. Cousins ​​​​scores easily in the low post like drinking water, and his defense is also easy Restricted, once consecutive blocks and steals.

Drummond is quite good at grabbing rebounds, but unfortunately the Kings scored too efficiently, and he only grabbed two with all his strength.

Another starter of the Pistons, Kyle Singler, is also a defensive colander. Antetokounmpo rushed like a training game, without hindrance.

As for the criminal Mamba Pope and the only James Jennings, the three-pointers of the two are at the same level. Su Yang asked the players to shrink the inside line boldly, and the momentum was full. A total of 10 of 2 three-pointers were made, and the situation was embarrassing.

In the second half of the game, the Pistons struggled hard, but to no avail. The Kings eventually won 119-95 easily.

Curry made 11 of 9 three-pointers and scored 36 points, 8 assists and 3 steals, more than ten times better than Jennings, who was also selected in 09. However, TNT's live broadcast of things actually released Jennings' match against the Warriors Get 55 points for screenshots of news reports.

In that game, Curry only had 21 points, 4 of 0 three-pointers, and 3 turnovers, which was two grades behind Jennings. At that time, many media and fans mocked the Warriors for choosing the wrong person.In contrast to the past and the present, everything seems so embarrassing.

After finishing the press conference, Su Yang saw that many fans spontaneously reposted the video of Curry's ultra-long three-pointer against the Pistons.

The topic became heated again.

Many fans lamented that Curry's three-point shot is too far away. If he played in the 80s, in terms of the three-point distance at that time, it would definitely reduce the dimensionality. Divide the ball.

Su Yangxin said that the fans are still young, and in a few years Lillard and Tre Young will show what is really a super long three-pointer.

What's more, Curry's three-pointers have never been famous for their distance, but for their speed and surprise, and the combination of man and ball is too good.

But no matter what, it's enough to give Curry more votes.

After a day off, the king resumed joint training.

Su Yang rushed to the training base early and took the scouts to a meeting as usual. When he entered the door, he saw everyone talking on their mobile phones.

"Breaking! The Rockets announced the dismissal of their employer coach McHale and invited Mike Malone as the head coach. James Harden expressed regret for McHale's departure and welcomed Malone to join. Rockets owner Alexander declared that this is a..."

Surprised!

Alexander is actually willing to spend more money to fire the employer coach during the execution of the contract. The butterfly effect is too fierce.

Su Yang sat down, and Blatche, the scout's subject, continued: "The king's bold reform and profit, especially the 20-year naming fee of 1.8 million U.S. dollars for the Golden One Group, gave Rockets owner Alexander the confidence to completely transform the Rockets. No longer limited to the steady pursuit of profits, but will be more aggressive, and this firing of McHale is just the beginning..."

Mike Brown and other coaches and everyone in the scouting department lamented that the King's performance was indeed too strong, reaching the Western Conference Finals in one year.

More importantly, the Kings made a lot of money without being restricted by the small ball market, allowing many teams to develop new ideas.

"Mike Malone's rich experience as the chief assistant coach of the Warriors is the main reason for the Rockets to fancy him, and Rockets general manager Morey also promised that he will not consider the magic ball theory for the time being. The draft trade will refer more to the suggestions of the coaching staff and players... "

The big victory on the night of the Christmas game made the Rockets make a painful decision to change, and even Morey turned around, it was too cruel.

During the conversation, everyone stopped chatting.

Su Yang summed up the complaint: "The Rockets will become stronger and stronger, but they are familiar with all the offensive and defensive routines of Mike Malone. Mike Brown also knows him very well. In addition, I also know James Harden very well, unless they can find another superstar..."

As Mike Malone's former head coach, Mike Brown took the lead in laughing, and the atmosphere in the office was relaxed and happy.

Many media and fans simultaneously commented on the Rockets' coaching change.

The mainstream view is that Malone will find ways to reduce Harden's usage rate of the ball, design more tactics for Ariza and others, may reuse Corey Brewer, and even allow Howard to reproduce the demeanor of the No. Live in the third place in the West.

On the [-]th, the Kings played against the Thunder at home.

Mark Tatum, vice president of the league, flew to Saskatchewan to present Su Yang with the Best Head Coach of the Month for December, Curry the Best Player of the Western Conference for December, and LaVine the Best Rookie of the Month for the Western Conference in December. Let the king have three happy times again.

When the game started, both Durant and Westbrook congratulated Su Yang, which made Thunder coach Brooks a little embarrassed.

But the bigger problem for Brooks is to properly handle Reggie Jackson's ball rights and playing time, and related deals have already taken shape.

At eight o'clock, the game was officially held.

The king still pinches Durant + shrinks the inside line to prevent sudden attacks. Westbrook shoots consecutively and hits the iron. Durant's forced singles are also very inefficient. In the first quarter, they led 28 to 16.

The game entered the second quarter. Durant struggled to find his form, and Reggie also found his rhythm due to a large amount of ball possession. In addition, Ibaka scored two consecutive long-range shots. The strategy arranged by Su Yang.

The two teams ended the second quarter with a tie, and the Thunder suddenly hit the iron again in the third quarter, and the Kings couldn't stop it even if they defended desperately.

The Kings entered the fourth quarter with a 21-point lead.

Su Yang himself was very surprised, but Curry played more and more smoothly. He stepped forward twice in a row to take off and hit a three-pointer, completely destroying the Thunder's resistance. The King finally defeated the Thunder 104-83 and won a wave of seven consecutive victories Curry scored 36 points.

At the press conference after the game, the reporter asked why the Kings won the game. Su Yangxin said that the Thunder's style of play was too simple, so he might as well learn from the Rockets. While Brooks only had a few months left on his contract, he would try to fire him early and replace him with another head coach. Another two rounds stopped.

But he said: "Thunder is a bit unlucky, I know Westbrook, 19 of 3 shots is not his normal level..."

Unexpectedly, not a while after the report was issued, some fans left a message and commented: That is Westbrook's normal level.

At noon the next day, the NBA announced the results of the third round of the 2015 All-Star voting. Curry overtook LeBron for the first time with 981327 votes with 971299 votes, temporarily leading the league.

The Kings have two days off to prepare to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, the No. [-] team, and witness Wiggins full of fighting spirit.

　Thanks to 'Hairline Lower Yang' for the reward. I don't have three more changes today, and the 2000 skipping ropes for fitness recovery consume a lot, and I'm very sleepy.
