0592 What is comprehensive improvement?

All-Star weekends have a total of eight days off.

Su Yang is busier than before.

The things accumulated by MT company need to be dealt with in a row. They flew across Los Angeles-New York-Boston in three days to discuss advertising business cooperation, follow the financial licensing process, meet the server technical team, and take a break from their busy schedule to attend a dinner with Jiang Ruolan.

Back in Sa City, he attended the team's community care activities, cleaned the nursing home, and guided high school basketball training.

He was busy until the seventh day that Su Yang had most of the free time and took the initiative to care about the arrival of the transaction deadline.

Fortunately, according to the report provided by Hinki, other teams have no big deals, and the Kings have no potential targets to pick up their bargains.

The Kings performed outstandingly on the All-Star Weekend. Laven won the Rookie Challenge MVP and narrowly defeated Aaron Gordon in the Dunk Contest, defending the dunk leader, while Thomas Jr. won the Skills Challenge Championship. Curry successfully entered the final of the three-point competition, but unfortunately lost to his good brother Klay Thompson and George hit 9 three-pointers in the main match, tying the hit record.

Such a performance made Su Yang not go to Canada.

But his name frequently appears in news interviews.

It feels like a big shot behind the scenes.

On the 18th, Cousins ​​called on the whole team to resume training in advance, Curry and others responded happily, and Su Yang also participated.

All-Star weekends were used up.

The next day, the Kings played against the Nuggets at home.

The lineup was crushed and he played casually. He achieved an absolute victory after three quarters. However, Curry rarely asked for a break in advance, but played normally until the middle of the fourth quarter. He scored 37 points in the whole game and led the Kings to victory. After the game, he said bluntly that he was in good shape and wanted to play more.

Su Yang made a brief plan and guessed that Curry wanted to compete for MVP. After all, if it was two consecutive days, it would be rare to look at the history of NBA.

In the first half of the season, Curry took the initiative or did not mind to give up a lot of ball rights, helping Jokic perform super gorgeously, and encountered many key targets, which led to the MVP ranking being behind LeBron and Leonard, and there was no hope of ranking third.

Then Jokic replaced him with the mature Paul George, Curry did not need to sacrifice his ball rights, and defeated the Cavaliers twice head-on battles. With a 16-game winning streak, the MVP ranking surpassed Leonard and rose to second, and there is hope to hit MVP.

It’s just that I didn’t announce it so high-profile, and it’s not necessary to fight. It feels like I can fight if I can, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Relatively speaking, LeBron's biggest advantage is to upgrade the Cavaliers from the bottom of the East to the first place, with a hope of 60 wins.

The contribution was too great, a bit similar to the Nash of that year, so the MVP ranking has always been the first since the start of the competition.

Curry may also make a big comeback in the end.

But the data and performance must be guaranteed.

There are 28 games left in the season, so we naturally have to help.

Making up his mind, the next day the King flew to Denver to challenge the Nuggets, and Su Yang adjusted his tactical arrangements to allow Curry to take more balls.

The pick-and-roll was also arranged in large quantities, with Antetokounmpo cutting inside, bullying the Nuggets to prevent the pick-and-roll basically for free, and the whole game scored 39 points.

The king won 18 victories at the same time.

After attending a press conference, Su Yang took the initiative to say: "Curry is having a crazy round of performances. I promise all fans that the next Kings game will definitely be the most exciting one in NBA history. Lock us in, don't miss it..."

Such speeches have caused many discussions among fans.

Some fans believe that this MVP battle between LeBron and Curry is a bit like the original Nash and O'Neal battle. One leads the team with great results, and the other has awesome data. It is estimated that the final result will all depend on how the voting reporters choose.

Anyway, the gap will be very small.

Various discussions quickly became popular on Twitter.

Kevin Pelton and other well-known comments tweeted, saying that they had already decided to vote for LeBron because it was great and difficult to increase 20 wins, and it was easy for Curry to play such data, after all, three All-Star teammates.

In contrast, there were only a few people including Mike Bryn, who chose to publicly decide to vote for Curry.

Even the statement that Curry is just a system player again is that only Jokic leaves will truly explode.

Amid all kinds of discussions, the king flew back to back to face the Spurs overnight. The Spurs, who have won all their victory since February, are under a lot of pressure.

The game started at 7 o'clock, and the Spurs came up to adopt a defensive strategy of not double-teaming and not delaying Curry, as if they wanted to see the feel.

Curry was not polite at all, nor did hesitate.

Swish and swish swish hit three extremely long three-pointers, and also steals Tony Parker's pass on the defensive end, leading the Kings to start 9-0.

The Spurs turned into double-teaming and delayed.

Su Yang adjusted his strategy and asked Curry to play double-team without the ball. Cousins ​​went to the top of the arc to support him. Antetokounmpo and Covington covered him, but the real scorers cut through George around the screen. In a 12-5 wave, the Spurs could only relax Curry.

Curry then broke out, and beat Green alone, using cover to hit Leonard, occasionally breaking through and passing the ball, scoring 23 points and 8 assists in the half, which led all the fans to celebrate wildly. He returned from the second half and continued to perform like that, and finally led the team to win with 38 points and 14 assists.

In three consecutive games, Curry scored 37,39,38 points, and his average score increased again, catching up with Harden, the first place.

After the game, he attended a press conference and talked about his evaluation of the system players, Curry smiled and said: "I am a system player. I am honored to be able to play in such a system. I am grateful to every teammate. Without them, I cannot do this..."

Such high emotional intelligence speech won praise from many fans.

Chris Webber and Reggie Miller retweeted Twitter and stated that they would vote for Curry's first vote, believing Curry is worth it.

After a day off, the King faces the Clippers challenge.

Before the trading date ends, the Clippers sent Stephenson and Josh Smith away and brought Jeff Green from the Grizzlies, which is a way to make up for the failure of the offseason to a certain extent. After all, Jeff Green is very versatile, can lead the front line, defend and attack.

Su Yang specifically talked to Jeff Green before the game, encouraging Green to pursue high-paying and long-term contracts in the summer. If he can't do it, change his agent. Don't make it so that "many teams want it, but they often get middle-class and basic salary." You must be tough and have capital.

Green said with a smile: "Coach, I originally planned to go to you with a middle-class contract after becoming a free agent in the summer, but you said this, making me want to open a high price. Anyway, thank you for your suggestion, I will seriously consider the big contract matter..."

The game started.

The two teams went back and forth, and the Clippers never fell behind with Paul's super awesome performance and Green's two-eye performance. By the middle of the fourth quarter, Su Yang sent Curry, Covington, George, Antetokounmpo, and Turner to form a strange formation.

With a rapid impact on the joint defense, the Kings expanded their lead to 10 points, but the Clippers really couldn't come up with a response strategy.

In the end, the Kings defeated the Clippers 117-111, winning 20 consecutive victories, and Curry scored 40 points and 13 assists.

The key is that Curry only had 1 foul and 2 turnovers in the game, and he also scored 8 rebounds and 2 assists, which was almost perfect.

Paul scored 42 points in vain and attended a press conference after the game. When talking about who is more worthy of the MVP, he said calmly: "I support LeBron. He brought the Cavaliers to a new level. I also support Curry. His performance is unique. If I were asked to vote, I would choose LeBron because he is my brother, but both of them deserve the honor..."

The discussion about which LeBron or Curry is more worthy of MVP has once again sparked heated discussion. O'Neal took the opportunity to mention that Nash snatched him from MVP, but it was quickly refuted by many fans. Nash was absent on the grounds and the Suns lost six straight consecutively, making too much contribution.

Amid all kinds of discussions, the king rested for three days to face the thunder of Foyer, and crushed 131 to 116 without any suspense.

Curry scored 35 points and 13 assists, helping the Kings achieve 21 consecutive victories, and hopes of hitting the Rockets' 22 consecutive victories record increased significantly.

After the game, Su Yang pulled the coaching team to hold a monthly summary.

Throughout February, the Kings had 11 games, with a total record of 51 wins and 7 losses, and continued to be ranked first in the league.

Compared with the record, the greater improvement is that Antetokounmpo's first shooting progress, Lavine's performance was stable after changing the lineup, George's integration was very smooth, Cousins' minor injury decreased after returning to the center position, and Curry's average data surged, and he is expected to win MVP.

The next day, March 1st.

NBA official update of the MVP rankings, LeBron still ranks first, while Curry has more people who are publicly supported.
