start with scouting

Chapter 641
On the night of the tenth, the Kings officially faced the Pistons.

When many spectators entered the arena, they spontaneously wore the T-shirts of the "Towards the Best with the King" series that they bought before. Su Yang also bought one and put it on. He felt that the quality was not bad. He stood by more than 1 fans on the sidelines. , take a large group photo.

The game started at [-] o'clock. After a few rounds, Su Yang was sure that he had already won. He transferred West to serve as the interim head coach. He would train in advance and reserve talents for the team. Become the benchmark of the league.

I always hope that the king's product must be a fine product.

"Can I do it?" West was a little nervous.

"I said you can do it, and you can do it!"

Su Yang patted his shoulders for encouragement, and then said: "Judging from the content of our pre-match video conference analysis, the Pistons did not play their playing system at all tonight, almost all of them were mid-range and long-range shots from cover, and there were very few insiders. , causing them to be seriously behind in rebounds now, you must know that they have Drummond in their lineup, and he only has 1 rebound..."

Zhuangshen Drummond already has a little emotion.

For him, he doesn't need to score points or block shots, but he must have strong rebounds. Without rebounds, it is like without the sun.

As long as the king maintains the situation, he wins easily.

"Then I'll try..." West nodded nervously.

Su Yang patted his back again to encourage him. Seeing that assistant coaches Mike Brown and Di Brown also gave support, he immediately recalled the days when he was an assistant coach in the Trail Blazers. Fortunately, he met McMillan who was broad-minded and willing to support him. This tradition must be carried forward. .

West immediately arranged according to the content determined in the pre-match video conference, and specially dispatched Brogdon in advance to continue George's defense against Pope, strangled the only possible explosive point for the Pistons, and helped the Kings score 18 points at the end of the half. leading.

Back in the locker room, Curry took the lead in expressing his support to West, and all the generals of the king applauded and even ridiculed that he was better than Su Yang.

The halftime break ends and the third quarter begins.

There may be conflicts in the midfield locker room on the side of the Pistons. Drummond's pick-and-roll cover has completely become a formality, unable to stop the defender at all, making it difficult for Reggie Jackson to break through, and further causing the scoring efficiency of the Pistons to drop again.

Stan Van Gundy didn't intervene as the head coach, and the performance of the Pistons was getting worse and worse.David West took the opportunity to ask Winner how to deal with a similar situation. Su Yang replied: "If you make a mistake on the court, you only need to pay attention to it. No matter what happened before, whoever made a mistake will be punished..."

At the end of the game, the Kings defeated the Pistons 110 to 94. Antetokounmpo scored 24 points and 13 rebounds, winning 26 consecutive victories.

The Kings grabbed 55 rebounds, the Pistons only grabbed 34 rebounds, and Drummond only had 9. When he left the field, he was so angry that he picked up the trash in the player tunnel and smashed it against the wall, making a small hole. The security guard next to him almost made a move.

After Su Yang got the news, he asked not to repair the small opening, but to frame it and display it as a historical commemoration.

After the Pistons, the Kings get three days off.

Su Yang took the time to go to the Chinese community with Jiang Ruolan to pay their respects to the early years, and then held a dinner party, inviting celebrities from overseas Chinese in California to discuss how to protect the interests of overseas Chinese in the United States.

It's a pity that there is not much support, most of them are flattery. After all, Su Yang is a big boss on the surface, but his interests are small.

NO.13, King vs. Green Kai.

Considering the broken lineup of Lukai, Su Yang directly handed over the command to the assistant coach Di Brown. Always TM fair.

Never thought about it, Di Brown made a few blind operations,
At the beginning, it was implemented in accordance with the content of the pre-match video conference, but after the Celtics coach Stevens temporarily adjusted the rotation, he was completely confused and mistakenly asked Brogdon to chase the extremely low-threat Smart. It caused Mudiay to explode.

After halftime, the king and Green Kai tied.

The whole team returned to the locker room, and Curry cheered and supported as usual, but DiBron could tell that they were not so sincere.

Su Yang waited until everyone returned to the locker room at halftime, encouraged Di Brown in private, and then followed his own ideas.

Encouraged by Di Brown, he adjusted his rotation confidently in the third quarter, allowing George and Brogdon to play together, which successfully suppressed Green Kai's scoring, but squeezed the playing time of Mbah a Moute and Covington, without specifying, It made the atmosphere weird.

Fortunately, the Kings are strong enough. The Kings finally defeated Green Kai 108 to 96, tying the Heat's original 27-game winning streak.

After the game, Covington attended the press conference. The reporter asked about the difference between Di Brown and Su Yang’s coaching. How to make decisions is very transparent..."

Su Yang laughed out loud when he saw the interview, thinking that only by letting the kings and generals feel the difference can they understand their own value.

The next afternoon, the NBA officially announced the results of the second round of the All-Star voting, and LeBron was still the top voter.

In the West, among the backcourt players, Curry still ranks first, George is promoted one place ahead of Harden, and ranks third. Among the frontcourt players, Cousins ​​sits firmly in fourth, and Antetokounmpo continues to rank In fifth, but with a large lead over Chaser Green.

As for the Western All-Star head coach, Su Yang has already been determined in advance with the King's crazy record of 39 wins and 1 loss.

On the night of NO.15, the King ushered in the Thunder challenge.

Su Yang glanced at the statistics of the Thunder before the game, and found that Westbrook was deliberately pursuing a triple-double per game. Everyone has a playful mentality to accompany the prince to study.

The command continued to be delegated, and Mike Brown served as the interim head coach. Compared with West and Di Brown, his performance was much more skilled.

Adhering to the principle of "having efficient weapons must be used", Mike Brown did not fully implement the strategy of video analysis and discussion before the game, but asked Curry and George to play more high-position pick-and-rolls, but Westbrook calmed down and defended seriously. Oladipo The defense is also okay, making Joku's pick-and-roll ineffective.Mike Brown switched George to the small forward position and continued to find Curry to play the pick-and-roll.

It's a pity that the effect still hasn't been improved, because the Thunder's starting small forward is Robertson, who is quite good at defending against the ball and off the ball.

After a lot of playing around, the King's offense was still a little more complex with a large number of screen runs, and focused on restricting Westbrook, and finally gradually established a leading advantage. In the end, they defeated the Thunder 122 to 108. The seven members of the team scored in double figures and won a wave of 28 Streak.

After the game, ESPN and other media reported the King’s 28-game winning streak, and held a roundtable meeting to analyze the team that is most likely to end the King’s winning streak. The Cavaliers received the most support. The key is that if the King keeps winning streak and meets the Cavaliers, it happens to be 33rd. field.

Not long after the show aired, Lakers star Magic Johnson tweeted: "LeBron James! If the Kings win 32 consecutive victories against you, I will cheer for you that night, let us beat this powerful team together team!"

In addition to the magician, there are celebrities such as Pippen who also expressed their support to LeBron, ignoring teams such as the Grizzlies and Bulls.

After three days of rest, the Kings face the Pacers.

Su Yang specially prepared a ring ceremony for McMillan, and gave a speech to thank McMillan for his contribution to the king, and by the way, thanked him for his support in the pioneers, and promised that as long as McMillan is willing, the king will always leave him a place.

Then the game started.

According to the strategy formulated before the game, the Kings will focus on restricting Jokic, Antetokounmpo will go to the main defense, and use all kinds of defenses around the front. Even if he completes the block and catches the ball, he will resolutely double-team and induce the Pacers point guard Teague Wait for a lot of dribbles, and a few dribbles.

The Pacers had nothing to do. After receiving a lot of passes, Thaddeus Young, who was in danger, couldn't handle the situation. He made 11 of 4 shots in the entire field and failed to recover in the second half. He made 22 of 7 shots in the whole game. , indirectly leading to the final loss.

Jokic was very unhappy to participate in the press conference after the game, alluding to the lack of a team around him and a serious lack of possession.

But few people heeded his complaints.

The media and fans are all paying attention to the 29-game winning streak, and the Kings ended their seven-game winning streak at home and started their eight-game winning streak.

Boarding the plane to Memphis, Su Yang convened a meeting with the coaching staff and players, and said bluntly: "This round of matches is a bit difficult. Our first match will be on the 20th, and the eighth game will be on the 31st of the month. one day.

So after achieving 33 consecutive victories, we will strictly implement load management, and everyone must make corresponding preparations..."
