Chapter 512 The Great Enemy Steve

Chapter 512 The Great Enemy Steve

In the early morning of the [-]th, Su Yang rushed to the training base and took the assistant coaches to read the scouting report together to study how to play against the Cavaliers.

In the offseason, the Cavaliers fired Mike Brown, hired Blatt as the head coach, and selected Wiggins and Joe Harris.

That's obviously going to be a big move, but since the start of the new season, the Cavaliers' record has always been ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference.

"David Blatt is the best coach of the year in the European League, but here is the NBA. His power is much smaller and the rules of the game are different. It is normal to play like this in the first season, and they also beat the Pacers. Such a strong team..."

Mike Brown took the initiative to excuse Blatter, which sounds generous, but it is also strange that the other party is his ex-girlfriend and current one.

European leagues have a defensive three-second rule, less frequent call-offs, stricter screen judgments, and naturally rely more on big players. The tactical system is more like the NBA in the 90s, but the Cavaliers Irving and Wiggins are both outside players.

It is quite difficult for Blatter to suddenly adjust his tactical thinking for many years, and the poor record of the Cavaliers is indeed understandable.

"Judging from the scouting report, the Cavaliers beat the Pacers and Eagles in the few games, the main reason is that Kyrie Irving and Andrew Wiggins broke out at the same time, and the two rarely broke out at the same time in other games, which seems to lack team attributes ..."

Hearing Mike Brown's remarks, Su Yang immediately thought about it, and said with a smile: "The conventional defensive strategy is arranged as usual, try to divide Irving and Wiggins, and double-team Irving at the beginning of the game, making it difficult to play and shoot. Let Wiggins play more singles..."

Having made up his mind, the king trained accordingly.

Su Yang was interviewed by reporters at the same time, and when he talked about Wiggins, he praised Wiggins, "He is a very talented player. He has the ability to lead the Cavaliers back to the glory of the year. Make it worse..."

Not a word was mentioned about Owen.

But with a little derivation, it is easy to get the meaning of Irving's poor performance in leading the team, and the purpose is to make Owen feel jealous.

If you can succeed, you will succeed, and if you fail, you will lose nothing.

And the words are not sharp, compared to Cuban's "Thunder only has Durant as a superstar", it is much gentler.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game officially started.

The Cavaliers sent Irving, Dion Waiters, Wiggins, TT Thompson, and Taylor Zeller as the starting lineup.

Seeing Waiters, Su Yang immediately realized that the Cavaliers still have a thorny player, and Blatt's coaching is indeed a bit difficult.

There is no big player like Love who uses three-pointers to stretch the space. The Kings will double-team Irving unscrupulously according to Su Yang's arrangement, but Irving is killed and does not pass the ball. Continuously singled out Curry at high positions.

Curry didn't show his strength. According to Su Yang's arrangement, he blocked the right every time, forcing Irving to break through and rush to the basket or stop for a jumper.

Antetokounmpo and LaVine's assisted defense has also helped many times, and Green Green even caught Irving to intercept. After all, TT Thompson basically has no scoring threat, and Irving is not the kind of person who can pass the ball efficiently in a small area. The effect is excellent.

After the first quarter of the game, Irving made 8 of 1 shots. If he covered his name and only looked at the data, he would have thought it was Westbrook.

The Cavaliers only scored 15 points, but there is something wrong with Blatt's defensive system, which only allowed the Kings to score 31 points, which has not yet collapsed.

It's just that Blatter has nothing to do about Irving's head-to-head failure to pass the ball. The two timeout adjustments are useless.

Don't dare to take the initiative to withdraw Owen.

The game started in the second quarter, Irving rested temporarily, and the Cavaliers basketball finally started to work. Who would have thought that in just two rounds, Dion Waiters started to play consecutive singles again, which seemed to be because the number of shots in the first quarter was too few. However, Turner's defense is much better than LaVine's. Waiters made three strikes. Cavaliers head coach Blatter couldn't bear it and directly suspended the replacement.

A large number of Cavaliers players have finally been transferred to Wiggins. All kinds of balls are crossed and strided to rush forward, and there is also a change of hands behind the back to break through the cracks. The show came to an abrupt end.

Wiggins wanted to kill the enemy, but was powerless.

When all the main players of the Cavaliers are on the stage, the situation has not changed.

At the end of the game, the Kings beat the Cavaliers 103 to 84, winning a wave of eight consecutive victories and firmly sitting first in the league.

Irving made 18 of 4 shots in the game, obviously betting on balloons. After the game, Blatter hurriedly emphasized that Irving is the boss of the Cavaliers.

News reports came out that many fans ridiculed Su Yang for being too bad, for actually playing mind-boggling skills in a basketball game.

Some fans also lamented that the three teams coached by Su Yang, no matter the Thunder Lakers or the Kings, rarely had conflicts within the teams. Cousins ​​did not have any divergent news with Curry. The key point is that there is no obvious operation to compete for the boss. , perfect cooperation.

Some fans lamented that Irving's skills are actually better than Curry's, but he didn't meet a good team, otherwise he would beat Curry.

Su Yang saw the fans talking about it, and thought it was because Curry had never thought about fighting for the boss, and Cousins ​​was not a typical boss player, but more like a big boy. On the contrary, he was a second-year rookie Antetokounmpo, who had already begun to establish leadership awareness of the team.

One day off NO.11, Kings vs. Nuggets,

Cousins ​​grabbed two offensive rebounds in the opening game, and then assisted Curry to hit a three-pointer. The suppression of hard power was very obvious.

The Nuggets are in turmoil. Head coach Brian Shaw is about to be fired. Rumors are flying everywhere. Lawson and others no longer obey orders. 15+ behind.

No matter how Brian Shaw boosted morale, the Nuggets did not change, especially Afflalo, there were too many rumors about the transaction.

Anyway, the hearts of the Nuggets are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.

Su Yang incarnated as Phil Jackson with his eyes closed and recuperated. There was really no need for on-the-spot command, and the timeout arrangement was all handed over to Mike Brown.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the game entered garbage time, and Su Yang arranged for the third team to appear. The Kings finally won 118-108.

Five members of the team scored in double figures, Curry scored 32 points and 7 assists, and Cousins ​​scored 26 points and 14 rebounds.

With nine consecutive victories, the king continued to face the Mavericks.

In order to achieve better results, the Mavericks traded for Rondo from the Celtics at a very high price. Both Parsons and Cuban tweeted their welcome. Rondo’s style of play is obviously incompatible with the Mavericks system , leading to a decline in the Mavericks' offensive efficiency.

Fortunately, the overall defense of the Mavericks has improved, but only a little bit, there has been no qualitative change, and they still rely on Chandler.

The game started at [-]:[-], and the Mavericks made a fast break. Parsons and Ellis were in super good condition. They carried the Mavericks to the last moment and won the lore and the absolute chance. Su Yang instructed Curry boldly emptied Rondo to double-team the rest of the Mavericks,

Curry decisively double-teamed Nowitzki, and Rondo caught the ball and shot a three-pointer. The Mavericks failed in the lore and the Kings narrowly won.

After the game, Su Yang went to shake hands with Carlisle as usual, but unexpectedly saw Rondo and Carlisle quarreling.

So embarrassing, I can only pretend that I didn't see it, and turned to leave.

After the game, the media reported the quarrel between Carlisle and Rondo, saying that Carlisle’s final tactic was not to pass to Nowitzki. mistake.

Some fans lamented that the Mavericks chose the wrong person.

Some fans also lamented why the team coached by Su Yang can always choose the right person. The past three games have been won by the opponent's infighting. Even Bynum, the only thorn in the Lakers era, asked Su Yang to trade in advance. Too accurate, comparable to a werewolf killing a prophet.

The Kings took three days off to face the Heat.

Wade was sidelined due to injury, and the Heat lost their offensive ability on the periphery. Su Yang instructed the whole team to adopt unlimited defense changes and use games as substitutes for practice.

However, the execution of unlimited defense changes on the spot resulted in the King's defensive suppression not being so strong, and it was not until the last 3 minutes that the victory was established.

After defeating the Heat, the Kings faced the Clippers back-to-back. Cousins ​​was absent due to a swollen toe. The team fought hard for four quarters and lost.

The ten-game winning streak came to an abrupt end, and the king's 40-game record became 37 wins and 3 losses, still ranking first in the Western Conference.

According to the rhythm of previous years, Su Yang will lock in the All-Star Western Conference head coach duties in advance, but the Warriors are 34 wins and 6 hot pursuit. Before the final deadline on February [-], the record is still hopeful to overtake the Kings. Opportunity to compete.
