Chapter 599
On the 26th, Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals between the Kings and Spurs kicked off at the Golden One Center Arena in Saskatchewan.

Popovich followed the previous strategy: Let Leonard play the main offense, let Adedo play the center, and reduce Duncan's playing time.

Su Yang also followed the previous strategy, attacking the inside line at the beginning of the game, causing Adelaide to get two fouls quickly, and then broke the Spurs' inside offensive and defensive system. By the way, Parker, who was full of anger but helpless, also got fouled in the first quarter. Two fouls.

The Spurs collapsed both inside and outside, and Leonard was alone. Despite his best defense, he was still 12 to 30 behind in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Thomas Jr. and Turner led the team, and the Kings continued to suppress the Spurs, leading 55 to 31 at halftime.

After the halftime break, the Spurs did not give up, but they were unable to change the situation. The Kings finally won 113 to 99.

In the whole game, Curry made 28 of 14 shots, including 14 of 7 three-pointers, 3 of 2 free throws, and scored 37 points.

The results of the series came out. The Kings swept the Spurs 4 to 1, successfully advanced to the finals, and hit the championship.

Cousins ​​led the Western Division championship trophy on behalf of the team, and spoke a little arrogantly: "There are relatively few flags over our arena. This division championship banner can be hung, but soon, I assure you, we It will be like that team in Los Angeles, only using the championship banner, but also form a row over the arena, and then put the division championship banner to eat ashes..."

The voice fell, and the audience cheered and shouted in celebration.

Fans and the media sparked heated discussions after the game.

Arenas tweeted: "Coach Su Yang once again made me feel the new charm of the basketball game. His confrontation with Popovich is a classic in history. The King is like the Lakers at the beginning of the century. I can't imagine A scenario where they fail to win a three-peat."

Stephen Smith tweeted: "Congratulations to the Kings in advance for winning the season championship! I don't mean to underestimate the Cavaliers and LeBron. I like LeBron and Tyronn Lue very much, but the dominance shown by the Kings, unless Wiggins is replaced Become Jordan.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for the knights to defeat the king. The next five years will be the era of the king. Please accept the arrangement of fate. "

Bill Simmons tweeted: "Su Yang will become a figure like a cardinal, fortunately Saskatchewan is a small city."

All kinds of discussions arose.

Su Yang rested for one night, and started preparing for the Cavaliers early the next morning, pulling the assistant coaches and the scouting department into a meeting to discuss.

"We must first discuss the changes in the Cavaliers' offensive and defensive ends after Tyronn Lue took over..."

Su Yang opened the first topic for the meeting. The main point of this season is that the head coach of the Cavaliers has changed from David Blatt to Tyronn Lue. Comparing the difference in data before and after, there must have been a huge adjustment, and the Kings have not changed yet. Cavaliers after the head coach.

"Tyron Lue is more inclined to attack..."

Scouting director Blatche said, "Compared to Blatt, Tyronn Lue uses more offensive players. He talked about it in an interview. He highly admired the Spurs' style of play in the 14th season, that is, dynamic offense." , with three points mainly off the ball.

Therefore, after Tyronn Lue took over, he reused players such as Love, Frye, and JR, and reduced the playing time of players such as Dellavedova and Mozkov, with special emphasis on offensive space. Love often receives the ball in high positions. The three-point shot is also a lot…”

Between the words, Su Yang nodded frequently in response.

Tyronn Lue's approach is very accurate. Emphasis on offense is the mainstream of the league. Although he used to learn from the so-called defensive coach Rivers, he did not stand still and rely on experience. Instead, he learned from Carlisle. After leaving the Pacers, he went directly to visit D'Antoni spends every day in the Suns training camp, studying how to better play fast-paced offense and adapt to the development of the times.

"In terms of tactical arrangement, from our scouts' observations, his performance is relatively poor, but his adjustment ability is relatively strong. The most typical case is the first round of G1. It was so difficult to defeat the Pistons. After being ridiculed, he quickly adjusted. The knights attack..."

Between the words, several sets of tactics commonly used by the Cavaliers began to be broadcast on TV, mainly the horn series, the elbow series, and some adapted triangle offense series, flex offense series, and a large number of ISO single challenge tactics, all of which are classics.

Those tactical systems have one thing in common, that is, they need a super high-position ball handler, and LeBron is naturally placed in the Cavaliers.

Love can also be responsible for some support, but limited by his breakthrough ability, the usage rate is definitely not as high as LeBron.

Su Yang continued to nod in response.

Objectively speaking, Tyronn Lue's tactical arrangement ability is definitely qualified, and it fits the characteristics of the Cavaliers lineup efficiently.

Not to mention the methods of double-teaming Curry and forcing Curry to face LeBron, etc., which lead the trend of the league, as well as abandoning the frontcourt serve, freeing up more space, allowing LeBron to sprint at full speed, and calling two timeouts in a row to let LeBron Brown regained his strength and waited for on-the-spot responses.

Not to mention how great those improvisations are, at least they are more effective and appropriate than Kidd's 'hit me'.

It's a pity that as a well-regulated coach, coaching LeBron and Irving is too easy to be ignored by fans.

In that situation, it is particularly easy to magnify Tylen Lue's coaching advantages and disadvantages, a bit like a beggar's version of Phil Jackson.

"In terms of player relations, Tyronn Lue has no reservations about trusted players. A typical case is that when Love was injured and missed the game, the Cavaliers won wildly. After Love returned, the team lost, and the data was undercover for several consecutive games. It made many fans and commentators ridicule, but Tyronn Lue still insisted on letting Love start, giving Love enough time to adjust and re-adapt to the game confrontation..."

Su Yang nodded repeatedly.

When it comes to trusting players, I think I am not as good as Tyronn Lue. As far as Love’s performance is concerned, being able to insist on arranging the starting lineup is the biggest role for other players to show absolute trust and make the team better cohesive. The heavy price of losing.

"In general, the Cavaliers are better than their 57-win record, with a low ceiling and a very high ceiling."

After Blatche finished the overview, McMillan and other assistants followed up to analyze how to limit the Cavaliers' offense and how to attack.

Su Yang didn't worry too much.

The main focus is on cracking the double-teaming of Curry by the Cavaliers. On the one hand, it is to find ways to conduct better transmission, so that other players of the Kings can make good use of the space that the Cavaliers have because of the double-teaming of Curry. Connivance, to prevent the Cavaliers from pulling Curry wantonly in the process of defending without the ball, without getting a foul, they must preemptively and occupy the high ground.

After making up his mind, Su Yang arranged for the media department to upload the already-produced "Video Collection of Curry's Fouls But Not Whistlement" on Twitter and other social media, and then MT will push it simultaneously so that global audiences can see Curry. situation.

On the night of the meeting, the Cavaliers defeated the Raptors 4-1, officially advanced to the finals, and competed with the Kings for the championship.

The schedule arranged by the league was released accordingly. The first game of the finals will start on June [-], and there are still nearly six days to prepare.

The king arranged training as usual.

Focus on how to cut the connection between LeBron and other Cavaliers players, disrupt the Cavaliers' tactical movement, let LeBron attack with the ball more, or let Irving attack with the ball. Anyway, don't let the Cavaliers play a smooth offense. Press hard.

ESPN's predictions were carried out simultaneously. Among the 21 experts, 16 supported the Kings to win the championship, but they believed that Curry may not be able to win the MVP, because Tyronn Lue has hinted that he will focus on Curry in the finals, trying to curb the king's strongest engine.

The major casinos in Las Vegas opened one after another, unanimously pessimistic about the Cavaliers, and calculated that the probability of the Cavaliers winning the championship is only 3%.

In a blink of an eye, June [-]st, there is only one day left before the finals.

All kinds of attention and anticipation are at their peak.

Su Yang released the video highlights of Curry being fouled according to the plan, and then bought the water army and slowly rushed to the hot search, sparking heated discussions.

It can be regarded as a strategy to deal with the Cavaliers double-teaming Curry in advance.

Anyway, this time the knight cannot be allowed to succeed.

As for Tyronn Lue, let's become famous after five years.
