Taking advantage of the preparations before the game, Su Yang deliberately took a look at the changes in the Pacers after the transaction.

The Pacers did not show off. Instead, because Jokic joined, the rookie Miles Turner was transformed into the starter, and George Hill was also reused, probably because George Hill grew up in the Spurs and had a certain understanding of tactics with Jokic.

Relatively speaking, Monta Ellis lost his starting position and the Pacers' starting position became more active around Jokic.

Such changes have improved Pacers' winning rate compared to before, and the voices of questioning transactions have gradually disappeared.

Jokic's ability to lead the team is fully reflected.

Much stronger than Davis, he has a win or defeat with Harden. After all, Murray is the only one who is injured by the main player, and he can also have a 60% winning rate.

Towns and Embiid can't compete with each other. Looking at the entire NBA, no center can organize passes like Jokic.

On the 23rd of the next day, the Kings faced the Pacers at home.

After the pre-match ceremony, the announcer began to introduce the visiting team players. According to previous standards, he only reads the numbers and basic information of the visiting team players, and his tone was also cold. Unless he was at Kobe's level, he would passionately broadcast the relevant honors during the retirement season.

However, according to Su Yang's request, the announcer strongly introduced Jokic to appear and directly blocked the best pass center in history.

Jokic stood up with surprise and waved his hand. Su Yang applauded with the fans of the audience, and the cards were full.

The game started immediately.

Su Yang did not deliberately target or relax Jokic, but played at a normal pace. The Kings led 31 to 25 in the first quarter.

The Pacers were either confused by continuous slurring or were quickly attacked to grab the rhythm, which was difficult to defend against the Kings' attack. The head coach Vogel did not force the improvement of the defense, but only encouraged to play his own rhythm, and did not seem to be worried about losing.

When Su Yang saw Vogel's performance, he thought that after the season ended, Vogel would definitely be fired and could be invited to join the Kings coaching team. He just didn't know if the Magic would invite Vogel as the head coach. He has a strong ability to lead the Youth Army.

In addition to the ability to manage the youth army.

Su Yang also appreciates Vogel's struggle: he loves basketball very much, but his physical fitness is too poor and he can't even reach the level of college basketball. He can only be determined to develop in the direction of coaching. He goes to the five-star basketball training camp when he has nothing to do, so he looks familiar because the famous coach Rick Pitty said with a perfunctory word and went to Kentucky to be a video coordinator, but he can't even use a computer, so he is quite brave.

Simply put, Vogel's struggle is like a slow-paced basketball-themed movie, inspiring and full of legends.

What's more legendary is that the Nets' famous coach is Lawrence Frank. At that time, he was in a five-star basketball training camp and worked as a convenience store salesperson. The happiest time every day is to listen to the 17-year-old talented boy Jeff Van Gundy brag about how to design tactics for a team...

"At some time in the future, I will write a story about the incidents of these head coaches in the five-star basketball training camp."

With a little thought, the King easily defeated the Pacers 108 to 97, winning a six-game winning streak.

After the game, the two teams shook hands and greeted each other.

Kings players Jokic hugged with high and high brim.

Jokic scored 17 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds in the whole game, as well as 2 steals and 1 block, which was extremely efficient.

In order to reflect his own value, George scored 48 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists, and cheered in the post-match interview.

Su Yang specifically hinted to Vogel: "I hope to work with you one day in the future. I really appreciate your coaching ideas."

Vogel responded with a smile: "If you have a chance, you must consider it!" But there was no fluctuation in his eyes, and he seemed to be prepared.

After the game, he returned to the office and the Kings coach team reviewed the game as usual.

Mike Brown reminded: "Lawen performed very badly in this game, with a total of 1 of 3 shots, 3 points and 3 fouls..."

"My question!"

Su Yang admitted his mistake without hesitation, mainly to let George prove himself in front of his old club, and deliberately gave George more ball rights. Curry and Cousins ​​also had the ball rights, which led to Lavin, who was a fake starter, not finding a suitable opportunity on the court.

"I'll go to Raven to discuss in detail later. We will adjust the rotation lineup and let George serve as the starting shooting guard..."

George's forward guard is swaying, and his physical condition is enough to defend many defenders, and his offense will not have much impact. The Kings are not a routine attack and will not require George to become a pure shooting guard like Redick or Ray Allen, and can better match the inside.

Covington correspondingly mentioned that the starting small forward position is not so good at the ball, and the quality of defense will not be reduced.

LaVine turned to serve as the first-person substitute shooting guard, Turner was adjusted to the first substitute small forward, while Turner's offensive desire was not that strong, which was equivalent to the entire substitute lineup. Only Thomas Jr. and LaVine shared the ball rights, and West and White Border did not consider it.

“I think it works.”

Assistant coach McMillan was the first to support him, and Mike Brown, DiBrown and others also nodded in their support, so let's adjust.

Su Yang then found Lavin to talk in detail.

Lavender happily accepted the substitute.

In addition, Su Yang found David West again and said straight to the point: "This matter is really embarrassing. I promised you to ensure your playing time in the substitute power forward position, but the current situation of the team needs to be made..."

"I understand what you mean, I'm very happy to give the position to Jeremy Grant. He is full of talent and worthy of cultivation."

West was not at all unhappy, "I just want to win the championship, I'm willing to do anything to win the championship, don't worry."

The conversation went smoothly unexpectedly.

Su Yang held West's hand tightly to express his gratitude. He made a promise when recruiting. West was fully qualified and reason to be angry, but West chose to be generous and would not cause any trouble for future players recruitment. It was a sacrifice for the team.

It was mainly Raven's struggle that made Su Yang realize that he could no longer raise Grant and he had to seize the time to speed up the training.

Of course, the route remains unchanged.

Start with defense and three-pointers.

On the twenty-five day off, the king faced the Hornets.

The new starting lineup was in the first battle. George started with the lead defense Walker at the beginning, Curry broke through with cover protection Jeremy Lin, while Covington and Antetokounmpo exchanged defenses between the third and fourth positions, perfectly bullying the 198-year-old Helston and Marvin Williams.

In short, the defense is directly full.

After the first quarter, the Kings led 31 to 15.

The wasp has no power to resist.

Following the second quarter, Raven, Turner, Thomas, Grant, Whiteside, and the five-man continued to crush.

At the end of the half, the Kings led by 24 points.

The situation in the third quarter did not change. Curry scored two consecutive three-pointers before clocking in and getting off work. The Kings played all substitutes in the fourth quarter.

In the end, the king won 129 to 114.

LaVine, who was replaced by substitute, efficiently made 10 of 15 shots, scored 28 points and 7 rebounds, and was in a little hot form.

Grant scored 13 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, one of which was the rookie center Kaminsky who blocked 213.

After fighting the Hornets, the King flew to Portland overnight and started his three-game journey without stopping, with the first round of back-to-back.

But in three consecutive games, the Trail Blazers first won the Trail Blazers, then the Pelicans, and finally the Grizzlies won the overtime, with little impact.

LaVine's performance is getting better and better and more stable. She has averaged 18.9 points, 3.1 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game in four consecutive games. In addition, after Covington switched to the starting lineup, all offensive data dropped slightly, but the defense data has increased significantly and has not suffered any losses.

The most important thing is that Antetokounmpo's defensive pressure has become lighter, his shooting percentage has increased accordingly, and nearly 70% of the open positions have been released.

After the game, he flew back to Sass City. The NBA officially announced that the All-Star substitute was, and Cousins ​​and George were selected into the frontcourt at the same time.
Chapter completed!
