Chapter 546 64 Years of Waiting (Deacon Gagen)

It is determined that Cousins ​​will be the main attack, and the king will start training accordingly, and Su Yang will talk to Cousins ​​again.

It mainly shows that the team's frequent use of the five minors before is the need of the game, and it is by no means a personal preference, and it will return to routine later.

In fact, there is no need to explain.

Cousins ​​gets it too.

This kind of thing is like the Mid-Autumn Festival, the company will distribute moon cake gift boxes, those moon cakes are basically no one eats, and no one cares, but if someone does not send it, it is another nature, even if the person who did not get it knows that it is not Deliberately, and most likely unhappy.

The trust between people is so fragile.

Su Yang continued to pay attention to the game between the Bulls and the Eagles. The Bulls also led 3-0. After the Eagles did not fight back, the experience Budenholzer accumulated in the Spurs for so many years was basically useless. The playoffs depended on superstars, what Pistons 04 It's an exaggeration to say that the civilian lineup won the championship in [-]. It can only be said that the star style is average, and Billups is better than Nash in the playoffs.

The next day, the fourth battle between the Kings and the Rockets started.

Standing on the verge of being swept away, the Rockets went all out at the beginning of the game, rushing to grab rebounds was like fighting for the eligibility to be released from prison, erecting a wall to cover was like protecting relatives and friends from damage, and conducting running positions was like eager to throw away the bomb in their hands. The rhythm is fast and the impact is fierce.

And the king takes Cousins ​​as the core and takes the main position.

After the first quarter, they fell behind 22 to 45.

The Rockets hit 8 three-pointers and scored as many as 10 times in 9 seconds. Harden scored 10 points in a single quarter and Josh scored 13 points in a single quarter.

Su Yang saw his blood pressure soar.

There was a pause between the festivals, and I didn't make up my mind after thinking for a long time.

It would be too embarrassing for Cousins ​​to change formations in one quarter.

Unexpectedly, Cousins ​​​​proposed not to use him as the core of the offense, or to win the fourth game first.

The King changed his lineup accordingly, and put on a super offensive and defensive combination of Curry + Covington + Antetokounmpo + Gay + Green, and directly played a wave of 7-1. After the half-time game was over, they forced to catch up to 59-69 Only 10 points away, the scoring explosion is amazing.

Back in the locker room during the intermission, Cousins ​​was obviously a little unhappy, mainly because the contrast was too obvious, which was a bit embarrassing.

After finishing the analysis and summary, Curry and others returned to the court.

Cousins ​​deliberately dawdled to stay.

Su Yang saw it, and stayed together tacitly.

Seeing this, the other teaching assistants followed and left, leaving space for the two of them.

Cousins ​​hesitated for a long time, and asked with some pain: "Coach, tell me the truth, do I still have a core role?"

"Of course there is a central role."

Su Yang chuckled, "Against the Rockets and the Thunder, you are too heavy to adapt to their high-intensity running and bombing. I arranged that way not only to win better, but also to protect you. We need you to involve you in the finals Noah."

Cousins ​​was silent, and his anxiety slowed down.

Su Yang continued: "At that time, you will involve Noah in the low post, and Green will involve Pau Gasol in the high post, completely disintegrating their defensive system, so that our team can attack better, and the Rockets don't need you to do that now, don't think about it." too much.

In addition, after the free market starts in the summer, the contracts of Green and Gay will expire, you know what I mean? "

Speaking of which, Cousins ​​finally relaxed, nodded with satisfaction, got up, stepped out of the locker room and went straight to the court.

Obviously a little embarrassed.

Su Yang didn't hesitate, walked out of the locker room slowly, and headed to the stadium with Mike Brown and other assistant coaches who had been waiting for a long time. When talking about Cousins' emotional changes, everyone in the assistant team wanted to laugh, mainly because they had never seen Cousins ​​like that. Sensitive guy.

Then the third quarter started.

Cousins ​​started for 2 minutes and hurried off to rest. The Kings once again dispatched the strongest offensive and defensive lineup and began to go wild.

Su Yang didn't want to be Rivers, let the hair tie help a group of guys make a big comeback, and he didn't want to sell more tickets.

The Rockets did not back down easily, still working hard on offense and defense.

But with such a high-intensity confrontation, Harden was the only Rocket left who could sustain it, and even Howard was forced to rest.

After three quarters, the Kings narrowed the gap by 7 points.

It could have been tied directly, mainly because Harden threw a super long three-pointer with 2 seconds left at the end, scoring 16 points in a single quarter.

The game entered the fourth quarter, and Su Yang instructed Harden to double-team.

Harden still attacked desperately, and he played whatever he wanted. At one point, he scored 8 points in a row, detonating the cheers of the audience.

Su Yang felt that something was wrong, and decisively launched the shark-slashing tactic, aiming at Howard and Josh, and slashing wildly.

The rhythm of the game was interrupted, and the Rockets also tried to cut Antetokounmpo and Green, but the effect was mediocre.

The fans in the audience continued to curse.

Su Yang is not a bird at all.

With Howard making 10 of 2 free throws and Josh 10 of 3 free throws, the Rockets finally couldn't take it anymore and chose to remove them.

With that adjustment, Terrence Jones became the Rockets' strongest rim protector, and the King gave up cutting the shark and rushed again.

Just 4 minutes.

The Kings tied and overtook the Rockets by 9 points. If it weren't for Harden's personal performance, he would have secured the victory in advance.

Fortunately, there were only 12 minutes in a single quarter, and no more opportunities were given to Harden. The Kings finally defeated the Rockets 134 to 128, and the Western Conference Finals series advanced to the finals 4-0. Final.

In the whole game, the eight Kings scored in double figures, Curry scored the highest 32 points, and Cousins ​​had 16 points and 11 rebounds.

火箭那边，哈登全场出战46分钟，高效空砍45分5助攻9篮板2抢断2盖帽。

The final whistle sounded.

Su Yang found Harden, patted on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Don't be discouraged! You have to learn from your idol Kobe. He is always said to rely on O'Neal to win the championship, but he has proved himself. You must continue to work hard and solve your dislike of confrontation as soon as possible. Short board for shooting!"

Harden nodded silently, half frustrated and half tough in his eyes.

In the post-match press conference, ESPN team reporter Lindsay asked: "The last time the Kings reached the finals was in 1951. At that time, the owner, general manager and coach Les Harris led the team. It is very similar to this time. related?"

Su Yang chuckled: "Maybe it's a team called the Kings. It would be more lucky if the boss is also the head coach to lead the team, but I don't also serve as the general manager. Sam Hinkie is doing a good job, and Chris Granger is also handling business affairs. We did a great job and we got back to the Finals thanks to the entire team, including our mascot, and those part-time caddies and cleaning staff…”

TNT team reporter Maggio asked: "For the finals, which team do you want to be your opponent?"

Su Yang shrugged: "I don't have a preference for the Eagles or the Bulls, but I'm not used to facing LeBron in the Finals."

The reporters laughed, and ABC reporter Jennifer asked, "Will Cousins ​​get more opportunities to perform in the finals?"

Su Yang thought for a moment: "Let's test a game first and see the situation before we talk, but we definitely need boogie. He can attack the basket strongly in the low post, and he can hit long shots in the high post. The tactical value is very great. The two rounds are mainly offensive and defensive. It's too fast."

The same problem has been dealt with many times.

Su Yang was a little annoyed, but he knew he had to deal with it.

After the press conference, the whole team took the bus back to the hotel, and simply had some Texas barbecue to celebrate their promotion to the finals.

At noon the next day, I flew back to Saskatchewan. Tens of thousands of fans came to pick me up at the airport, and tens of thousands of fans watched the live broadcast.

Su Yang took the opportunity to advertise and promote the short video function of MT, but various news reports ruthlessly edited and erased it.

After three days of rest, the Bulls defeated the Eagles 4-1 to advance to the finals. The first game is scheduled to start on June [-]th, and it will take a long time.

Many fans are idle and bored, complaining about the boring finals without LeBron, and guessing whether the Kings can make history, surpass the 83ers in 76 and the Lakers in 01, win the playoffs without losing a game, and win the game with a complete victory. Season champion.
