0683 Nothing can be given for nothing

The Kings team flew back to Sa City and got three days off according to the schedule.

Su Yang slept until noon and got up. He casually looked at social media such as Weibo. He found that many fans were urging punishments. He felt a little better, but he also recalled the mistakes he made in the game. He thought about it repeatedly and felt that it was necessary to make adjustments.

The main reason is that it failed to match the offensive intensity. In the entire fourth game, the Cavaliers played completely in their life-threatening style. After the Kings encountered an unfair punishment in the first quarter, even Su Yang himself admitted his defeat in the next three quarters and adopted a negative strategy of setting a table to replace people.

Such a strategy caused the king to be unable to narrow the score difference, which was a wrong idea, and he chose to hand over the outcome to the referee.

In fact, he was only 16 points behind in the first quarter, and the king could fight. Even if he couldn't beat him, he would continue to encounter a side whistle.

After making up his mind, Su Yang temporarily put aside his thoughts on how to deal with it, and took time to play "Overwatch" with Jiang Rulan at home for a long time. Anyway, no matter how busy he is in his work, he still has to take some time to accompany his family. Just treat it as another way of rest, and the income is far beyond crazy overtime.

The next morning, the Kings team resumed joint training and formally convened a meeting between scouts and coaching teams to discuss countermeasures.

"We haven't played in the last three quarters, the main reason is that the Cavaliers chose to let go of Giannis and Cousins ​​in the high position, and won the game by gambling. Just talking about fouls, the Cavaliers had 4 more times than us in the last three quarters, and we had to solve the problem..."

Su Yang raised the issue, and assistant coaches such as Mike Brown and scouts such as Bratch spoke one after another. From positioning to receiving strategies, they obviously had already thought about how to deal with the Cavaliers' gambling strategy, and quickly gave their own ideas from all aspects.

After listening to everyone's thoughts, Su Yang also expressed his own ideas, worked together to deduce and could not find any faults, and finally made a summary.

"The first strategy is to let Cousins ​​pick-and-roll go down, Giannis is responsible for cutting and rushing the basket at an empty space. The responsibilities of the two can be exchanged. Make full use of the mobility of the two to avoid the Cavaliers' empty space and unable to hit the shot. To deal with the Cavaliers' double-teaming of the ball holder, the risk is that the ball holder will be more difficult when the ball holder is out, because the purpose is easy to judge, so it is best not to use it continuously..."

"The second strategy is to stagger the two of them playing time. After the start, Giannis and Cousins ​​will be replaced quickly, and Covington, who has better shooting ability, avoiding the Cavaliers from the source to use gambling strategies to prevent local more and less defenses. I prefer to let Cousins ​​become a fake starter. He can better match Thomas and others in the excessive rotation stage to create damage..."

"The third strategy is to continue shooting empty shots. Perhaps in the home court, Giannis and Cousins ​​can both return to normal shooting levels without encountering a whistleblow. In short, the three strategies are used depending on the situation, and the first one is the safest..."

With the strategy set, the king's corresponding training began.

In order to pursue realistic effects, Su Yang deliberately asked Jason Thompson and Brogdon to double-team Curry, giving more small pulling moves, imitating the referee's turn a blind eye to the foul, and arranged for Grant to drag and interfere with Antetokounmpo's empty cut.

Except for dealing with the Cavaliers' defense,

The coaching staff also studied the Cavaliers' offense and found that the Cavaliers' off-ball tactics in the fourth game were underestimated. The main reason was that Irving suddenly became enlightened and became willing to catch the ball through running a lot, rather than just taking the ball and looking for cover at a high position.

In other words, Irving played a bit like Curry.

It is really hard to defend when moving, and it also improves LeBron's ball control power and creates more opportunities for the rest of the Cavaliers. Irving has never used such a style of play before, and the King was caught in the referee's idea of ​​blowing the whistleblower and ignored it inadvertently.

It is easy to deal with it, change defenses and delay in advance.

But it is not that simple to win the fifth game easily. Even if the Kings win the championship 4-1, it will take a lot of energy, rather than the large number of fans and media think that this is entirely due to the lineup crushing, and there are actually a lot of adjustments to various strategies.

The training was very enthusiastic.

Interview with TV, talking about the summer basketball training camp plan, and when Zhou Qi will appear in the finals. I suddenly recalled that Zhou Qi had never been arranged to appear in the regular time, and had not been put on the activation list before.

After the interview, West immediately instructed to activate Zhou Qi and prepare the notice in advance, and may make a debut in the first quarter.

If there is no accident, Zhou Qi will be allowed to play against Cousins ​​during the period, but it will not be played for too long to avoid becoming a breakthrough for the Cavaliers. The main step is slow and it is difficult to prevent it. You need to squat in the paint area. You can only get a bargain on the offensive end.

The muscle building and technical training arranged for Zhou Qi are carried out simultaneously, so that he can play at normal times and perform normal tactics in the morning and evening.

After a moment, the assistant coach West asked back with a little hesitation: "Who do we want to remove from the list?"

There are only 13 players in each game, with a total of ten main players starting and substitutes, and a total of 15 players in the team, and there are always two people who cannot play. Su Yang thought for a while: "Galloway and Wood are difficult to provide a role for the time being, so let's just the two of them..."

The main thing is to choose that is to know that there is a high probability that the two of them will not be able to stay in the offseason, and the impact of whether they play or not is very small.

Back at the office, Su Yang received a celebrity invitation plan submitted by the planning department, with the purpose of increasing topic and attention to the upcoming championship parade. After watching it, he rejected it on the spot. This time, three consecutive championships were achieved, and the king did not need the help of celebrities.

In the blink of an eye, the fifth game day of the Kings and the Cavaliers Finals arrived, and the two teams gathered at the Golden One Center in Sa City.

Su Yang arrived at the stadium at 4 pm, arranged the pre-match training content, and went to the media center for interviews as usual.

Speaking of how to evaluate the penalty in the fourth game, Su Yang said calmly: "I think the whistle blowing standards for certain penalty decisions in the first quarter are somewhat strict for our kings, but overall there are not many problems with the punishment. The referees try their best to complete the work..."

Anyway, there is a lot of hope for winning at home, so I don’t bother with the referee’s call in the fourth game, so don’t make the referees rebellious.

Speaking about why we should tell Cleveland fans goodbye, Su Yang smiled and said: "You must think what I imply is that the game will not return to Cleveland, but the real meaning is that I still want to play against Cleveland in the finals next year..."

At 7:58, the opening ceremony ended.

The lights were on the whole field, and the sound of long whistles sounded, and the players of the two teams made final preparations. The final soundtrack of "Star Wars" "imperial    march" was played. More than 18,000 fans cheered and shouted in unison, and the Kings' flag was waving everywhere.

The starting position of the two teams.

The Cavaliers still started with JR, the Kings slightly adjusted the lineup, and Raven replaced Brogdon to start.

The announcer shouted loudly and jumped the ball, and the referee pushed the ball up casually. Tt took the lead and touched the ball back vigorously.

The Cavaliers won the jump ball, and the audience shouted in unison to defend. The referee suddenly whistled and called out Raven for a defensive foul.

The shout suddenly turned into booing. Su Yang looked up at the big screen in surprise. The playback showed that LaVine was chasing Irving and was sensing the direction of running when she was chasing Irving. It was indeed a foul. However, the Cavaliers defended the game without the ball dozens of times before.

Putting aside the double call standards, Irving's off-ball tactics at the beginning were obviously prepared and deserved the attention of the king.

The Cavaliers re-activated and the game continued.

The two teams were back and forth, and the score was difficult to break, but the Cavaliers suddenly intercepted the serve twice in a row and successfully led by 4 points.

The two steals were because they were not focused enough, and they probably thought about how to celebrate. Su Yang called a timeout on the spot, arrested Curry and George and shouted angrily. The Kings' generals finally put aside their minds and played with all their strength. Zhou Qi then appeared on the stage to replace Cousins.

After the first quarter, I lost those 4 points.

Taking advantage of the intermission timeout, Su Yang took a look at the statistics and found that there were many mistakes, making 2 of 7 three-pointers. The situation was similar to before. The Cavaliers still doubled the teams wildly and scored three-pointers with a desperate attempt. The Cavaliers did a good job without the ball and were difficult to stand.

The game ended in the second quarter and the main player returned to the court. With Irving assisting Thompson to make a layup, the Kings were still 4 points behind.

The Cavaliers are accumulating momentum, and they are not at risk of insufficient physical strength in the second half because of crazy singles like before.

"If you continue like this, you must change..."
