Chapter 642 I Am My Own God
On the night of NO.20, the Kings challenged the Grizzlies away.

Considering that after the Grizzlies, he will challenge the Bulls back to back, Su Yang adjusted his rotation strategy and prepared to arrange 12 players to play the game. At the same time, he instructed the whole team to slow down the pace, minimize physical exertion, and win the game in a relatively easy way.

Another reason for that confidence is that the Grizzlies' starting small forward Parsons was absent due to injury, and his offensive firepower was severely lacking.

Unexpectedly, the Grizzlies bad team also has a three-point spirit. The tough genes of the past few years have not been completely lost. Gasol Jr. and JaMychal Green succeeded in scrambling for offensive rebounds in the opening game, allowing the Kings to eat a wave of 7-2, indirectly improving Match resistance strength.

Cousins ​​and others rushed up emotionally, and Su Yang was not too good to force it down. He stood on his hips and watched the King's 11-3 counterattack.

The Grizzlies hastily requested a timeout.

But after the timeout, the Kings focused on defending the connection between Conley and Gasol Jr., while other Grizzlies players, such as JaMychal Green, Tony Allen, and James Ennis, faced unlimited defensive changes, and it was difficult to score independently. The Grizzlies did not gradually break the scoring shortage until substitutes Carter and Randolph came on the stage, but it was already too late.

Seeing that the king's victory situation was completely established, assistant coach Mike Brown suddenly complained: "We still don't understand why the Grizzlies are willing to spend 4 years and $9840 million to sign Chandler Parsons. Does his agent Dan Fagan have superpowers? ?”

Hearing this, Su Yang immediately thought of Dan Feigan's use of the special relationship between Howard and Parsons to force the Rockets to give up Parsons' contract in advance in order to strive for greater benefits. Be strong enough.

Seriously analyzing the signing of the Grizzlies, except that the Grizzlies management is too stupid, there is really no other explanation. Even if the Grizzlies as a small ball market cannot attract big-name free agents, Parsons only averaged 13.7 points per game in the underdog Mavericks 2.8 assist data.

After thinking about it, after the game was over, the Kings defeated the Grizzlies 107 to 91, and the winning streak officially reached 30 games.

替补出战的科温顿砍下20分10篮板2助攻，引得许多媒体吐槽：为什么当初没有球队去抢科温顿呢？尤其是灰熊，4年6000万，可是要比4年9840万便宜很多很多！
Fans also complained: If a small ball market wants to win the championship, it must be operated for many years, and one step cannot be wrong. After the Grizzlies signed Parsons with a high salary, there will be no window to win the championship in the next 10 years. The king's management method should be regarded as a compulsory course. lesson study.

Amid all the compliments, the entire Kings team flew to Chicago overnight, took a night's rest, and challenged the Bulls back to back.

In the new season, the Bulls introduced Rondo and Wade, two powerful veterans. They thought they could soar into the sky. Unfortunately, Anthony was injured and absent for a long time. For the time being, he only has a record of 21 wins and 23 losses. Of course, there is hope for the playoffs, but it is visible to the naked eye. The upper limit is low.

Taking advantage of the pre-match training, Su Yang quickly analyzed the scouting report and the Bulls video, and found that Rondo was playing the regular season and pretended to be dead. He took the initiative to give up the starting point guard opportunity to Michael Carter-Williams, and his statistics were 0 in N at every turn. Like garbage.

If everything is normal, Rondo in the playoffs will return to the All-Star form, but this time there is no green card for him.

"Catch the Bulls in the backcourt and attack at the beginning of the game..."

In just 5 minutes, Su Yang convened the whole team to arrange offensive and defensive strategies, mainly using the defensive weaknesses of McAway and Wade, a large number of high-post quick screens, and let George temporarily serve as the starting small forward, LaVine also appeared on the field, forcing Wade Can't hide.

At eight o'clock in a blink of an eye, the game officially started.

The King won the jump ball. Curry saw Butler defending himself as expected, while Wade was defending George. He decisively went to George to play a pick-and-roll, and then connected with Antetokounmpo's fixed-point delay. He successfully misplaced and faced Gibson. military training.

Gibson's defense is no longer as good as it used to be, and he also lost Noah's support behind him, and he didn't have Thibodeau's system bonus. Get inside and make adjustments.

However, Su Yang had already instructed him to resolutely shoot from the outside. Curry did not hesitate to withdraw a three-pointer and enter the net hollowly.

After a few minutes of playing, Curry did not hit every shot, but it was easy and efficient, and the Bulls struggled defensively.

The King gradually established a 10+ lead.

The Bulls requested a timeout for adjustments, and began to double-team Curry after returning, but that was exactly what Su Yang predicted, and Curry simultaneously turned on the assist mode. George and LaVine took turns to catch the ball and fire. Antetokounmpo and Cousins ​​frequently cut to attack the basket. Continue to expand the lead.

In the middle of the third quarter of the game, it was already garbage time. Rondo's desire to show off fell through, and he was so angry that he slapped his chair.

After the whole game, the Kings won 112 to 99, and Curry scored 22 points and 18 assists, which is a bit of a Paul-style statistic.

At the press conference after the game, when talking about Curry's performance, Su Yang said seriously: "Many fans and the media did not realize how difficult it is for Curry to get such data. He seamlessly switched his style of play during the game. , not many players can do it well."

The content of the interview was uploaded to Twitter and other social media, and many well-known commentators such as Windhorst liked and reposted it. They also mentioned that Cousins ​​made a great sacrifice for the king. Ask him to stand in a high position to support.

As far as the style of play of Cousins ​​and Curry is concerned, if you are an ordinary player, you will already be confused, such as letting Westbrook play without the ball.

With a day off, the Kings flew to Detroit to challenge the Pistons.

Within a month of World War II, the Pistons did not make any adjustments. They still focused on defense against breakthroughs, forcing the Pistons to take more mid-range and long-range shots that they were not good at. Instead, the Pistons took the initiative to make adjustments and asked Tobias Harris to withdraw from the starting lineup. Power forward position.

Su Yang can see that Van Gundy's strategy is to let Tobias Harris play the sixth man and lead the Pistons' heartbreaking bench lineup, but Jon Leuer, who replaced Tobias Harris in the starting lineup, It's really not up to the starting level.

The main reason is that Jon Leuer's strength is too poor. Antetokounmpo will fight casually, and he can't even hold the ball steadily, so he can't talk about skills.

When he was on the bench, Su Yang asked Covington and Grant to take turns taking care of Tobias Harris, which quickly caused the Pistons to fall into an inefficient scoring mode. It was useless for Van Gundy to send Drummond in advance, and the Pistons shot too much from long range , No rebounds.

At the end of the game, the Kings beat the Pistons 109 to 94, and the winning streak officially reached 32 games, only one step away from the record.

After the game, he participated in the press conference and talked about his feelings about facing the Cavaliers and hitting a 33-game winning streak. Su Yang did not force Versailles, but replied truthfully: "Our whole team really wants to beat the Cavaliers and get 70 at the end of the regular season. + wins, and defend the title in June, then we will have 70+ wins for three consecutive seasons, 20+ streaks and 30+ streaks, and the three consecutive championships of the Bulls and Lakers, becoming undisputed The strongest team in history and create more possibilities!"

As soon as the news came out, with the 33-game winning streak warming up, the number of related discussion tweets soared, reaching the top of the hot search list.

About 10 minutes later, the Cavaliers beat the Pelicans 125 to 124. Irving made 28 of 16 shots, 14 of 9 three-pointers, 11 of 11 free throws, and scored 52 points, including the final lore three-pointer. Then he got a triple-double of 26+12+10, which completely detonated the topic of the upcoming battle between the Kings and the Cavaliers. Many fans believed that Irving would cause trouble for Curry.

At the press conference, when the reporter asked how he viewed the match against the king, Owen said in a godlike manner: "I know that many people regard the king as a god, but I want to prove that the king is not invincible, because I have the power from the ancient tribe. Addition, I am my own god. Just wait, everything will happen soon, the power of faith is the most powerful power!"

When Su Yang saw the news, he thought that Owen had entered the mode of cultivating immortals in advance, probably because he lacked attention and enjoyed the crowd.

The pre-match meeting was then held. If you want to win the Cavaliers steadily, you need to work hard. The only variable is Irving.
