At seven o'clock, the sleep train stadium.

Accompanied by the cheers of the audience, Su Yang waved at the camera and said that the King's starting introduction was officially over.

The long whistle sounded immediately, and the match between the Kings and the Trail Blazers was about to begin, and the players spontaneously formed a circle and waited.

"Just just now, the mayor said that we have maintained a total victory in the past 13 home openers and ranked first in NBA history. It is a record with a lot of restrictions, but we should continue to maintain that we once defeated the Trail Blazers in the preseason..."

In the words, Su Yang was full of encouragement

From offseason to the first game of the regular season, in nearly three and a half months, the Kings' training opportunities have been tested, and the opponent Trail Blazers ranks fifth in the Western Conference in the ESPN combat power list, especially the starting five-man team's strength, which can be called the T0 level of the entire league.

Su Yang remembers that the Trail Blazers started with the five Tigers, Robin Lopez, Aldridge, Batum, Matthews, and Lillard will be the starting combination with the highest positive and negative values ​​in the league in the 13-14 season, which means that it is difficult for the five of them to lose points at the same time.

If the Kings want to attack the Trail Blazers, they must withstand the Trail Blazers' starting attack.

"Please avoid misalignment when defending, especially the point guard and power forward, try to change defense in advance..."

Su Yang did not avoid Thomas' defensive flaws, and pointed out that Millsap would suffer a lot of height against Ade, and his weaknesses would generally be compensated by double-teaming and rotation. However, on the Trail Blazers, Lillard, Matthews, and Batum are all players who can shoot three-pointers. Double-teaming and rotations are okay occasionally. If they are used in large quantities for a long time, they will only consume their physical strength quickly.

Changing defense early will naturally become an important defensive method for the Kings. Players like Ade who is not good at low posts and back-passing can also use one hand to assist in defense in advance, but Cousins ​​is so heavy that it consumes too much to run around, so they simply leave it to Antetokounmpo.

"Giannis, we need you to show your talent, play your defensive capabilities, and sweep the paint zone like Garnett..."

Antetokounmpo nodded repeatedly, and Su Yang encouraged Millsap to boldly grab rebounds and blocks, and the short whistle sounded.

Cousins ​​immediately took on the responsibility of the boss, raised his right hand and signaled. The whole team blew his fists and shouted in unison to cheer for the king.

The players of the two teams were scheduled to enter the court, and the center screen gave the starting matchup: point guard Thomas Jr. v Lillard, point guard Marcus Thorton v Matthews, former Antetokounmpo v Batum, former Millsap v Adde, center Cousins ​​v Lopez.

The audience cheered and applauded. Su Yang clapped his hands and quickly glanced at the entire sleep train stadium. He found that it was not full. He couldn't help but recall the report of business manager Chris half an hour before the game: more than 17,000 people bought tickets, but more than 2,000 people didn't come.

The Kings fans are buying tickets so much, but the support is almost incredible, such as automatically subscribing to the novel, but not reading the content.

“It’s incomparable to Los Angeles…”

Su Yang sighed in his heart that the seats were not full, and the biggest audience was the old acquaintance mayor.

The game was not broadcast live across the United States by TV stations such as TNT and ESPN, only the King's own local channel.

With emotion, the Trail Blazers won the jump ball and the game started.

The Trail Blazers were three on the right and two on the left, imitating the triangular offensive formation. Lillard dribbled the ball and ran across the center line, passing it to Matthews on the right wing, and then accelerated and cut inward. With the help of Lopez's cover in the right elbow area, he rushed to the right bottom corner position.

That starting operation not only takes away potential double-teams from the right wing, but also facilitates Matthews' operation, but also continues to provide scoring threats.

The routine is quite basic, practical, and easy to predict. Considering Matthews's ball-holding level, there is no possibility of pick-and-roll offense and singles, considering Lopez's position and Lopez is not good at singles, the Trail Blazers' goals are quite clear.

It is obvious that you need to connect with high and low positions, and Lopez passes it to Ade, which will make the situation become that Ade eats Millsap alone in the low position.

Su Yang saw it and shouted a reminder to the venue. As soon as the words flew out, Millsap had interfered in the synchronous way.

Almost at the same time, Matthews passed the right elbow with both hands, Lopez took the ball and turned to the basket, and Ade relied on his height advantage to get the position.

Seeing Mirsap go around, Lopez gave up the pass from the ground and instead held his hands high and passed backwards, easily avoiding interference.

Ade took the ball and turned around, ignoring Millsap's potential blocking threat, and directly lifted up and threw a mid-range shot.

Unfortunately, Millsap has a great sense of position and has stuck Ade for half a stride, making Ade less calm in his jumping.

When! Basketball smashes the basket and hits the iron.

Cheers suddenly burst out in the ball sense. Millsap turned around and jumped to grab the rebound. Thomas Jr. stepped forward to get the ball to push the counterattack.

Su Yang nodded slightly, thinking that Millsap is worthy of being able to win the second team of the best defensive team at the end of his career. His position and rebounding awareness were too strong. In addition, he played with Sloan in his early years and had a deep understanding of tactics. He just predicted the goal of the Trail Blazers in advance.

The offense and defense were converted on the field, and the Kings One Inner Four Outer Formation was placed. Following Su Yang's previous steps, Sauton stood at the right bottom corner, Cousins ​​stood at the left bottom corner, Millsap stood at the top of the arc, and Antetokounmpo stood at the right waist position, maximizing their respective characteristics.

Let Antetokounmpo stand on the waist mainly by using his mobility to launch tactics and avoiding his shooting weaknesses from being targeted and amplified.

Amid the cheers of the whole audience, Thomas Jr. ran across the center line with the ball, and rose up with his big butt on his back, holding Lillard back.

With that move, Lillard immediately lost his temper.

Thomas Jr. was strong, and as Su Yang asked, he imitated Billups, Paul, Kidd and others to control the ball more, making up for the height disadvantage to the greatest extent, and at the same time, he increased the threat of turning around and breaking through. At least facing Lillard's defense, he had no worries.

Seeing that Thomas looked right, Millsap immediately started and walked inward, making a pindown cover for Antetokounmpo mentioned above, and then antetokounmpo can create a ram routine to cover Thomas, or directly attack the basket.

After three and a half months of special training, Antetokounmpo's muscles have grown and the quality of the cover is quite good, making it difficult for Ade to catch up.

Batum decisively signaled to change defense, turned around and chased Millsap, preventing Thomas from passing the ball directly to the basket to attack the basket.

Seeing that the person who defended himself became Ad, Letters confidently had the advantage of speed, and instead interrupted RAM, he took the initiative to give up covering Thomas Jr., and immediately turned around and ran to the bottom corner on the left, preparing to provide cross-blocking cover for Marcus Thorton to create a greater misalignment.

In the flash, Matthews and Adr shouted loudly to communicate and agreed to make a big delay first. After all, Thorton can shoot three points.

Then he thought that Antetokounmpo suddenly opened the ball in advance, turned around and rushed to the basket, and Thomas passed the ball simultaneously.

The audience showed expectations on the scene. Antetokounmpo picked up the basketball with his left hand, thrust hard, hugged the ground with both hands in the air, and dunked the basket.

Bang bang! Basketball frying baskets into the net.

Cheers suddenly resounded throughout the stadium. In the commentary seat, Kings legend Richmond laughed and said, "From this attack, I saw that Kings players have basic but practical tactics. The key is that they are not rigid, and Coach Su Yang's transformation is very successful."

Commentator Grant Napier responded: "Dynamic offense! Mr. Su Yang always emphasized that the new season focuses on dynamic offense. He encouraged players to try boldly, so even a rookie like Giannis dares to try the most threatening tactics..."

During the offense and defense transition on the field, Batum dribbled the ball and ran across the center line, and took advantage of the cover of Ade and headed straight to the right wing position.

Antetokounmpo quickly bypassed the cover and chased after him without giving a chance to break through. Batum saw the situation and turned around to seek secondary cover.

Ade cooperated with great tacit understanding, and Batum suddenly threw away Antetokounmpo. In a hurry, Millsap took the initiative to switch to prevent interception.

But Batum was not strong enough to break out, so he stopped quickly and turned around and passed the ball to Ade who ran to the right wing, followed by a big strode and left room.

Ade took the ball and raised it high and shot. He easily flew and jumped immediately. He then skillfully jumped sideways and leaned back.

When! Basketball smashes the basket and hits the iron.

Lopez relied on the advantage of getting a position in advance to grab the offensive rebound, turned around and threw it to the top of the arc, so angry that Cousins ​​stared at him.

Lillard used the ball to shoot, but Thomas Jr. did not take fake moves, and could only cross and step hard to break on the left.

Cousins, who had nowhere to vent his feelings, immediately came forward to intercept him and double-teamed Thomas with Lillard, and Lillard was suddenly forced to fall to the ground.

The referee then blew a whistle and called out Thomas Jr. to foul the foul from behind, giving the Trail Blazers a second attack on the sideline.

Seeing this, Thomas walked towards the referee. Before he could argue, Cousins ​​dragged him away: "Calm down, calm down."

Hearing Cousins ​​calm down, Su Yang laughed out loud and greeted Antetokounmpo to the sidelines, reminding him: "You need to be patient and not easily deceived by fake actions. You are in good health and you can observe your opponent's movements more..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of Anthony's sweep in front of the body and stopped quickly and broke through to make a layup. His movements were fast and sexy. As a result, Anthony's stalker jumped up and raised his hand and made a big hat. With Anthony's talent, he had the capital to ignore his opponent's fake moves.

"Okay, coach..."

Antetokounmpo nodded and agreed, turned around and returned to the field. The Trail Blazers simultaneously set up their second offensive formation, with two highs and two lows falling.

The referee blew the whistle to the ball, and the Trail Blazers were in the left and right half, and Matthews and Lopez tried to catch the ball with the help of a cover.

Batum passed to Lopez at the 45-degree three-point line on the right, then ran into the court with a big stride, hitting the basket with the help of Lillard's back cover, raising his right hand to signal that he could pass the ball. However, the tactics were very good, but Lillard's cover quality was poor, and Antetokounmpo easily caught up.

Seeing that the direct attack on the basket failed, Lopez immediately turned around and faced the right wing, handing hands with Lillard on the face to form a chicago cooperation. However, the tactical intention was exposed too early, and Thomas chased after him in time, and Lillard failed to get rid of it completely.

In an instant, Lillard gave up the cover, stopped and pulled the ball in a hurry, then returned to the right side line, lowered the center of gravity and rushed to the ground.

Cousins ​​hurriedly chased after him, and his feet flew up and his speed was full, but he didn't give him a chance to break through and approached the bottom corner on the right.

The audience on the sidelines were booed and disturbed when they saw this.

Lillard stopped in a hurry to find someone, while Lopez went down simultaneously and created a threat in the right waist position. Seeing this, Millsap had to go forward to make up for defense, and Ade took the opportunity to walk towards the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and the Trail Blazers were fully equipped with tactical literacy.

The King's tactics are not bad either. The rotation and defense are started simultaneously. Antetokounmpo faces Ade, who just received the ball 45 degrees on the right.

The basketball passes the top of the arc again, and Batum, who is in the open position, receives the ball. Seeing Marcus Thorton make up for the defense, he turns around and passes the left wing again.

In just a blink of an eye, Mirthap, who was already prepared, flew out, cut off the pass, and pushed it with two steps.

Cheers were everywhere in the stadium, and the Kings launched a fast attack counterattack. Antetokounmpo received the ball at the 45-degree three-point line on the left side of the frontcourt, and started the ball with a sprint. He took a step forward to reach the elbow area, kicked off directly, and glided in the air to make a layup. Matthews and Batum had no response.

There is no way, others make three-step layups in fast attack, while Antetokounmpo makes one-step layups in fast attack, which makes the Trail Blazers difficult to adapt.

Bang! The basketball rebounded into the net, 4 to 0.

The Sleep Train Arena cheered everywhere, the Trail Blazers made a quick attack, Lillard took the ball and took a step forward, raising his hand to pass the center line.

Matthews rushed to the right wing with the ball in one second, but he could not get rid of Antetokounmpo, so he had to slow down and brake and shake it in place. At the same time, Batum quietly used the ladder cover to cross the paint area from left to right, quickly reaching the short corner position on the right.

Seeing this, Matthews hurriedly passed the ball, but he didn't expect that the short Thomas would follow Batum closely.

Thomas, a little girl, snatched the pass like lightning, rushed to the center line, and raised her hand to pass the frontcourt for a long time. Antetokounmpo received the ball from the left wing, turned around and accelerated, ignoring Lillard who was trying to defend, raised the ball with one hand and jumped with one hand, gliding and slashing hard.

Basketball frying baskets into the net, 6 to 0.

Trail Blazers head coach Stotts stood up and gestured and shouted at the field, and Lillard slowed down and slowly dribbled the ball.

The audience shouted in unison to defend. In the commentary seat, Rich Richmond said: "I remember ESPN's evaluation of the Trail Blazers' combat power was very high. Maybe a game is difficult to explain, but our Kings are the better team."

"Maybe it's more consideration for the substitute lineup..." Grant Napier responded perfunctorily, without considering it in detail at all.
Chapter completed!
