Chapter 707 Your uncle will always be your uncle

After three games of observation, Su Yang found that Lopez especially likes to find a confrontation after taking the ball in the low post, and then turn around to hook or put the basket before receiving the ball. It can be regarded as making full use of his weight and height advantages. Brain play.

But that kind of shooting bias, once encountering a tough defense, it is easy to stumble and hit the basket, and the efficiency can only be said to be average.

If you want Lopez to play more efficiently in the low post, you need to allow him to occupy a better position and state when receiving the ball.

Discussing with Mike Brown and others for a while, Su Yang decided to arrange for Brogdon to pass the ball to Lopez, making full use of Brogdon's height vision and combo guard skills, so it is necessary to remove LaVine first during the rotation stage and let Ku Run more off the ball.

What kind of staffing, what kind of division of responsibilities, and what kind of rotation deployment all take time to determine.

Make up your mind and start training simultaneously.

At the same time as everyone was training hotly, Cousins ​​came to the base every day after the operation, chatted with everyone, told jokes, and even offered to join the coaching staff temporarily. During the recovery period, he learned how to plan a game, which would be better understand the game.

Su Yang readily agreed, and casually threw Cousins ​​the scouting report for the next four teams, "Many coaches in today's league start as video editors, such as Mike Malone, Spoelstra, and Frank Vogel. , Their initial job is to edit the videos that the team needs based on the key points mentioned in the tactical scouting report, you should also learn from scratch.”

"no problem!"

Cousins ​​excitedly entered the video center with the scouting report, but ran out in less than an hour and said with a sullen face: "I was wrong, this thing is too boring, you need to identify the tactics mentioned in the report It's so troublesome, it needs to be played back repeatedly..."

Su Yang said with a haha ​​that it doesn't matter.

It is very inspirational to be promoted from a video editor to an NBA head coach, but with only a few people, it is quite difficult.

In a blink of an eye, on the [-]th, the Kings played against the Trail Blazers at home.

The last time he challenged the Trail Blazers back to back in an away game, Lillard fouled him. This time, Su Yang decided not to double-team Lillard at the beginning of the game, but to let Nance Jr. start, and let Nance Jr. or Antetokounmpo Delays are given, three points are not given.

Nance Jr. has a fast attacking speed, Antetokounmpo is always ready to help defend, and the Kings will make up for the weak side. There is really no good way for Lillard, and neither can the rest of the Blazers. If it is replaced by the Spurs where Parker is backaction.

In the rotation stage, Lopez came on the stage, paired with Brogdon, and faced rookie Zach Collins. He was quite comfortable catching the ball. Nurkic responded.

Su Yang immediately instructed to play outside, and Lopez first hit a three-pointer, and then took the ball and broke through the basket for a dunk. Nurkic didn't know how to defend. The king took the opportunity to score 17 points at the end of the half. leading edge.

After returning from the halftime break, guessing that the referee's scale is relatively large, Su Yang instructed the whole team to strengthen their defense.

Curry took the lead to lead the defense against Lillard, and let Nance Jr. or Antetokounmpo jointly double-team the middle line of the game. He forced Lillard to make a pass error twice in a row, and then played a wave of 5-0 spurts to establish a winning foundation , and finally won 118 to 100.

It may be that the rotation and sharing of the ball were done very well. Nine players from the Kings team scored in double figures, with a total of 34 assists.

Compared with 34 assists, Su Yang is happier that the team only made 5 turnovers, one of which was a long pass from the backcourt to try to break fast.

The Blazers are not the kind of weak teams that are easily ravaged. Although their defense is indeed biased, the Kings are also very good.

The Kings also won a wave of five consecutive victories. Many fans praised the successful return of the Kings who rushed to dominate. They just waited to prove themselves again against strong teams like the Spurs and Rockets. It is a pity that they have played against the Cavaliers twice. finals.

Amid all the praises, the Kings started their three-game streak before the All-Star Game and flew to Minnesota to challenge the Timberwolves in the first game.

The game started at 07:30 and ended at 16:[-]. The two teams had only [-] fouls in total. Su Yang and Thibodeau didn't call a timeout. Thom led the team to rush and take lightly.

Leaving Minnesota, the Kings flew to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks. Lopez and LaVine encountered foul trouble, but with the excellent performance of Curry and Antetokounmpo, they still won 114 to 108, and then flew overnight to Houston to prepare for back-to-back.

The Rockets in the new season have played 56 games, with a total of 45 wins and 11 games. Harden's MVP ranks first.

ESPN once again called the match between the two teams a rehearsal for the Western Conference Finals, but this time they are more optimistic about the Rockets, because after losing Cousins, the Kings’ absolute inside advantage no longer exists, and the Rockets can better intercept the line because they are not so strong in positional warfare. Pinch movement.

Arriving at the Toyota Center at [-]:[-] p.m., Su Yang arranged the training content, and then went to the media center for an interview. He talked about how he saw Harden ranked first in the MVP, and replied: "He lives up to his name. I know many people will criticize him. There are a lot of free throws, some of which are intentional, but that is part of the game, and his own choice will definitely have a corresponding price."

The interview was soon reported.

Some fans think that Su Yang means that Harden will want to make fouls in the playoffs, and choose to hand over his professional fate to referees or opponents. That is a very risky behavior. If you don't adapt, you will play poorly.

Especially Harden's three-point shooting percentage in recent seasons, only the 14-15 season is relatively normal, and other hot eyes.

At 07:30, the game officially started.

Facing the Rockets ranked No. [-] in the Western Conference, Su Yang arranged for Nance Jr. to start, and did not provide Harden and Paul with military training opportunities. Then, according to big data statistics, Harden was not double-teamed and let him play singles. Let him lead others.

But just like that, Harden still cooperated with Capela three times in a row, and indirectly assisted Tucker to hit a three-pointer. Dare to help defend easily, making Su Yang miss George.

After thinking about it again and again, Su Yang adjusted his strategy on the spot and changed to a partial three-defense and two-two pick-and-roll against Harden and Capela.

The Rockets turned to Paul to take control. As a result, Paul made a mistake, followed by a fallback, and the Kings switched offense and defense continuously. Substitute Paul.

The Kings continued to double-team Harden, leading by 8 points after the first quarter. In the second quarter, Rose led the bench and tied with the bench led by Paul. The half game ended with a 9-point lead, but Lopez only played in total. 4 minutes.

Back in the locker room, Su Yang specifically explained to Lopez that it was difficult for Cousins ​​to appear in this situation in previous years.Lopez said he didn't care, because he really couldn't keep up with the rhythm. The weakness of the big center is there, and others will definitely target it. The Rockets have magic balls.

The game in the second half was more anxious. Both Curry and Harden were strictly defended. Both the Kings and the Rockets stepped forward to lead the team, but Antetokounmpo rushed to the basket and scored, and his efficiency was much better than Paul's difficult fallback. The Kings scored 9 points Keep the lead until the end.

In the end, the Kings defeated the Rockets 116 to 107, and achieved a wave of 8 consecutive victories in back-to-back situations.

Curry only made 21 of 6 shots and only scored 17 points, but sent 11 assists. Antetokounmpo made 13 of 10 shots and scored 27 points efficiently. Rose also played very well, scoring 22 points in 17 minutes. 6 points and 63 assists, [-]% shooting.

The game is over and the All-Star Weekend is here.

This time it was held in Los Angeles, full of stars and close to each other. Su Yang, Curry and others went together to support Tatum and Brogdon rookie game, meet friends such as Kobe and Durant, and call MT by the way Engage in publicity.
