Chapter 654 Uninjured Peak Leonard

After the first battle, the king got two days free.

Su Yang arranged a day off to discuss with Kobe the production direction of the "detail" program, and decided to launch a series of NBA tactics detail changes, starting with the most basic pick-and-roll tactics invented by Minneapos Lakers head coach Pollard, and turning the show into It is updated once a week to better attract the attention of fans while ensuring the quality of the program, and break through tens of millions of fans as soon as possible.

The media company founded by the two also held meetings to attract investment, with the ultimate goal of establishing the company as a training base for basketball talents.

NO.18, the Kings team resumed training.

The first game focused on the Ram+Ghost misleading series, as well as the Chicago+Keep series. The whole team focused on practicing. Su Yang additionally developed the Strong series of tactics, combined with the strength transfer of the triangle offense, to give full play to George's super maneuverability.

During the explanation, Su Yang said bluntly: "Originally, this set of tactics was developed around Jokic to adapt to the two-tower lineup composed of him and Cousins. Unfortunately, with that combination, it is really difficult to defend against pick-and-rolls. Let George do it..."

Mike Brandon's assistant coach nodded again and again.

They all knew it was a brilliant tactic.

Just imagine, the Kings start with a five-out formation, Jokic stands in the left corner, Cousins ​​stands in the right corner, the guard runs across the center line and stops at the top of the arc, and sees the opportunity to pass the ball from the left with double screens Jokic running from the bottom corner, and after Jokic gets the ball, he can shoot, or pass to Cousins ​​who is easily stuck on the right side, or assist a player who makes an empty cut to attack the basket. There are many routines.

The key is to arrange it that way, both Jokic and Cousins ​​have room to play, and other Kings players can easily cooperate.

"George can also play well..."

Assistant coach Di Brown habitually praised, but everyone knew that George's organizational skills and ability to break double teams were far inferior to Jokic, but that deal was not a loss. After all, George can share Curry's pressure, and he can Unlimited defenses.

The offensive firepower of the main kings overflowed too much.

After the training, the whole team had dinner together at the base, and watched the classic old film "Road to Glory". Cousins ​​and others didn't like it very much. style of play.

It seems that what a great thing it is to restrict before and allow later, it is obviously a mistake in the previous coaching.

NO.19 of the next day, the Kings fought against the Trail Blazers again.

With previous lessons learned, Su Yang commanded Lillard to double-team at the beginning of the game, tested the referee's whistle-blowing standards, and found that the referee's whistle-blowing was relatively normal, and decisively instructed the team to continue double-teaming, which soon made Lillard miserable and made 8 shots Only 1 hit.

Lillard really has no shortage of good solutions. He is short in height and light in weight, and the Blazers cannot give strong support inside.

After the first quarter, the Kings lead 33-17.

After the game entered the second quarter, the referee still did not give the whistle to the Blazers. Lillard gave up the main attack and acted more as a bait. However, the Kings coaching staff has thoroughly studied the Blazers tactics, and the Kings players have also trained a lot. .

Facing McCollum, who was the main attacker, George defended himself all the way and successfully made McCollum 6 of 2, unable to affect the situation.

Back from the halftime break in the third quarter, the Blazers continued to attack early, pulling the king's defensive formation. Lillard took the opportunity to make 8 ultra-long three-pointers crazily. In the end, he really hit three times, but the defensive end lost more points. , belonging to living beyond our means.

The Kings entered the fourth quarter with a 22-point lead, and the Blazers took the initiative to withdraw the main force and surrender early.

It was too easy to win the game. Curry clocked out of get off work in three quarters and scored the highest 19 points, against Lillard with 15 points.

The Kings get another three days off.

Su Yang met with representatives of the legal team again to ensure that the normal operation of the company would not be affected. By the way, he joined several other social media companies to lobby to limit the potential voice of celebrities and establish an emergency response mechanism.

Unexpectedly, the two companies, Facebook and Twitter, told him righteously: No matter what they say, there will be no restrictions.

Su Yang was too lazy to try. Instead, he paid attention to the matchups of several other teams in the east and west. He found that the Spurs beat the Jazz 2-0. Judging from the summary of the video, the Spurs played reasonable basketball, which is better than the Jazz. The level and lineup are higher out several times.

The Rockets also lead the Thunder 2-0. Harden seems to be very upset that Westbrook's MVP voice is higher. He scored 37 points in the first game and actively participated in the defense. At least a quadruple-double was achieved.

The Warriors also lost Paul's Clippers 2-0. Durant scored a terrifying 90 points in two games.

There are no surprises in the East, the Cavaliers and Raptors show super strength, and the Bulls and Wizards belong to the second tier.

On the 22nd, the Kings challenged the Trail Blazers away.

It may be possible to return to the Moda Center to have a bonus. The King's defense against Lillard should not be too aggressive. Antetokounmpo switched defenses and intercepted twice, and received blocking fouls twice. Scored 15 points in the first quarter.

The Blazers are also active on the defensive end, even if they are called fouls, they are not worried, especially McCollum, who fouled twice within 30 seconds, still calmly stayed on the court and continued to play, as if he had a reassurance, and calmly helped the Blazers Leading by 7 points in the first quarter.

The game entered the second quarter of the substitute stage. The two brothers Grant and Covington on the king's side thought they had figured out the referee's standards and also adopted large-scale defensive actions. As a result, they each received 2 fouls in a row and watched their opponent stand up. free throw line.

The king's supposedly strong bench lineup failed to narrow the point difference, but instead lost more points, losing 13 points at halftime.

Mike Brown and other assistant coaches were anxious to spray the referee.

Su Yang didn't care.

Returning to the locker room at halftime, he directly instructed the use of the 'misleading' series of tactics in the second half, as well as the Strong+ triangle offense series of tactics.

In the third quarter, the game started immediately. The kings made a mess, but the Blazers still couldn't break it.

By the end of the three quarters, the point difference had narrowed to only 1 point, and the momentum of the key kings and generals was fully displayed.

In the fourth quarter, the game continued as usual, and the referee returned to normal calls. The Kings gradually overtook and established an absolute advantage. In the last minute, Curry first hit a three-pointer and then hit 1 consecutive free throws to help the Kings win 4-118.

全场比赛，库里拿到34分8助攻2抢断，个人表现完胜利拉德31分4助攻。

Participating in the press conference after the game, talking about how to view the NBA’s official announcement that all individual awards will be awarded after the finals, Su Yang said: “I agree with the league’s approach, which can better create suspense and topics, but I think It is suggested that the selection of awards should also be restructured, especially the FMVP, it is too hasty to make decisions based on a round of series..."

The interview was quickly compiled and published as news.

Many fans agree with Su Yang's proposal, thinking that the selection of FMVP is indeed too random, and some fans think that it doesn't matter if there are occasional players who are not so convincing, but they agree to select FMVP based on the performance of the entire playoffs.

After a day off, the King will fight the Blazers again on the 24th.

Facing the 3-0 situation, the referee did not continue to whistle in any direction. At the same time, the Blazers did not show the determination to fight to the death. Both offensive and defensive ends were stretched. The Kings played 45-22 in the first quarter with great enthusiasm, directly laying the foundation for victory .

In the end, the Kings defeated the Trail Blazers 127 to 101, sweeping the series 4 to 0 and advancing to the Western Conference semifinals.

Curry didn't play for 1 minute in the fourth quarter, played 29 minutes, scored 37 points and 8 assists, and his efficiency was full.

The whole team flew back to Saskatchewan overnight and watched the game online after a day's rest. As a result, the Spurs and Jazz scored 3-1.

If the Spurs want to advance, they have to play at least one more game, and the Kings are likely to need to rest for a full week.

The intensity of training must be guaranteed, so Su Yang recruited Guy, who was idle at home, to play the uninjured peak Leonard.
