In order to attract attention better, there are only two games in the opening game of the new season. After the Kings and the Rockets, the Cavaliers and the Celtics entered the second quarter. The situation seemed particularly anxious, and the defense of the main Cavaliers' four giants was a bit bad.

"The Cavaliers are defending seriously, and LeBron and Anthony have a strong desire to defend. They both deliberately lost weight at the beginning. This time they formed a Big Four lineup. They definitely don't expect to win the championship by playing casually, but the Celtics have too many off-ball runs..."

Assistant Mike Brown, who watched the live broadcast together, commented casually, and players such as Jeff Green nodded in agreement.

Su Yang also agreed. As a tactical expert, Stevens made good use of the characteristics of the Celtic lineup and bullied the Cavaliers' defense continuity. He was very patient every time he attacked, but they couldn't defend against the Cavaliers, especially Thomas Jr.

"In a strong match, any loophole will become a target point, just like we targeted Ryan Anderson before, which made the Rockets unable to rotate in time on the defensive end. We are strong enough to deal with any form of playing..." Su Yang felt happy.

Compared with other teams, the Kings have both inside and outside, attacking and defending, can run five small points with the Rockets, can also gain a height advantage, and can compete with the Spurs in the inside. Antetokounmpo and Cousins' mobility is far superior to the combination of Adegasol or David Lee. When encountering a team like the Warriors that focuses on passing and cutting, they can mercilessly use unlimited defense swaps, and are not afraid of single-handed fights in the giant mode.

"The key is to have a coach like you..." Tatum took the opportunity to deliberately flatter, and everyone in the locker room burst into laughter.

The Cavaliers and the Celtics were still very anxious after the half-time game. The Kings were too lazy to continue watching and went back to their homes.

Late at night, Su Yang accidentally glanced at the result and found that the Cavaliers finally beat the Celtics by 8 points. Irving scored 38 points in the game and became the key to the Cavaliers' victory. Every time he started a one-on-one challenge, it was difficult for the Cavaliers to limit it. Whether it was single defense or assisted defense, it was useless.

Compared to last season, the Cavaliers have more people who can hold the ball, especially Butler's joining, which can save Irving from double-teaming.

In today's league, there are only a few players who want to defend Irving one-on-one efficiently, but who will defend Irving first, and other Cavaliers players will inevitably blossom, which is why the Cavaliers will continue to lose money and gradually become the Big Four.

After reading the news, Su Yang casually sent a message in a group chat: "The Knights are much better than before, we must pay attention to it!"

Curry and others replied one after another, some said yes, some gestured ok, some just said they were done, and some said they were afraid of eggs.

After a day off, the King embarked on a three-game schedule.

Payton II has officially entered the team's activation list. Su Yang is ready to use it according to the situation. After all, the three consecutive visitors are also quite expensive.

The first stop flew to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks. Curry Lavender in the backcourt, Baria Matthews, who directly hit the Mavericks, was interviewed during the suspension of the festival and said bluntly: "I'm even more surprised that Baria is continuing to play the game..."

Carlisle's offensive system has a very large offensive bonus for point guards, and the defensive end likes to use regional joint defense, and also has a very good protection for point guards with weak defense. In my impression, the Mavericks have no normal point guard except Harris. They are either short players like Barria, or Ferra like Rondo and Kidd are unbearable for the draft. They can only be said to be awesome.

Halfway through the third quarter, the game will be rubbish.

The Mavericks' substitutes are really bad. What are Yoji Ferrer, Dwight Powell, Salah Mejerry, who are basically the players used by the Mavericks to make up the numbers. The main output points Harrison Barnes are not very stable, and sometimes Nowitzki has to hold the ball to support him.

Su Yang boldly arranged Brogden Tatum's lineup of South Grant Payton II. Except for Tatum's a little too mamba and sprinting wildly, the whole team still played well and always maintained a lead of about 20 points.

Rose only played for 12 minutes, but Su Yang explained in advance: the season is very long, and he will play slowly and stay healthy.

After the game, the Kings defeated the Mavericks 113-92, and the team scored in double digits with six players, Tatum made 4 of 13.

The new member of Payton II did not score, but grabbed 4 offensive rebounds, showing full firepower and igniting the team's fighting spirit.

After the press conference, the Kings team flew to Denver overnight, preparing to challenge the Nuggets back-to-back and strive for a three-game winning streak.

After the afternoon training, Su Yang announced a plan to take a turnover, allowing Cousins ​​and Curry to quit, and focus on the use of Little Nans.

The news has been reported. Some people have led the pace and say that Su Yang's load management plan is fake, and it is true that he wants to suppress Cousins' renewal salary. Because Cousins ​​has not played for a long time before against the Mavericks, and he is physically strong in the new season and does not need to take a turn.

During the pre-match interview, the reporter asked what he thought about such a guess, and Su Yang smiled and said, "The next question!"

There is no need to pay attention to the dark boy, because as long as you want to be with someone, you can find a reason no matter what he does. As the saying goes, there is no reason to be a crime. If Cousins ​​really wants to play, he may be said to be willing to take risks for the sake of his record.

At eight o'clock, the game starts.

The Nuggets started with an 11-3 lead. The main reason Millsap's joining and the growth of Murray and Gary Harris made the Nuggets have great potential. A group of young people have strong impact. In addition, the King did not play Cousins, the inside frame protection is relatively poor.

Su Yang asked for a timeout to make adjustments, using three-and-two joint defense and a large number of regional double-teams to limit the Nuggets' periphery breakthrough and also limit Millsap's face-frame attack. He quickly tied the score. When the first quarter game was finished, he overtook the Nuggets by 5 points, killing people and killing them.

The game entered the substitute stage, Brogden and Grant held on to the situation, Antetokounmpo returned to the court on time, and then led the team to a wave of trouble, leaving the Nuggets at a loss, and the Kings gradually controlled the rhythm of the game and finally narrowly defeated the Nuggets 101-99.

Ross became the team's biggest contributor to victory, making 6 of 10 shots in the game, 1 of 3-pointers and 5 free throws, scoring 18 points and 5 assists, while Tatum was troubled by the rookie wall, making 1 of 7 shots in the game, with only 3 points and 6 rebounds, and 3 turnovers.

The whole team set off overnight to Arizona. Su Yang praised Payton's defensive performance in the substitute stage and encouraged him: "You must continue to stick to your aggressive defense and don't worry about losing your playing time because of too many fouls. In addition, you don't have to participate in quick retreat every time. I allow you to spend time observing whether you have the opportunity to grab offense rebounds..."

Little Payton nodded calmly: "I will be unreserved by your arrangement." His eyes were full of fiery.

After a day off, the King and the Suns match began.

Cousins ​​and Curry played normally, playing fast in the first quarter, taking advantage of the shortcomings of the Suns' failure to replace the head coach but not yet matured in the defensive system, scoring easily continuously, and taking advantage of the shortcomings of Ball's difficulty in hitting three-pointers on the offensive end, focusing on defending Booker and others.

After the first quarter, the Kings led 36 to 17.

That gap directly set the pace of the game. Su Yang turned his energy to observe the cooperation between Ross and others, preparing to design some exclusive tactics for Ross and make full use of his ability to break through the basket. He also found that Ross and Brogden had some overlap.

Fortunately, Brogden's three-point shooting percentage is nearly 40%, and he can take action around the cover to catch the ball, but he is the average self-held shot.

After the game, the Kings won 127-101, and the team scored in double digits. Tatum continued to hit the wall, with only 5 of 15 shots, 0 of 4 of the top man's three-pointers, and only 1 free throw. Most of them were empty cuts and stealing chickens, which was a true role player.

Perhaps it was because of the lack of style in playing superstars like that. After the whole team flew back to Sa City after three consecutive away flights, Tatum took the initiative to find Su Yang at the training base and said bluntly: "Coach, I want to have a richer scoring method. How should I improve my shooting?"

Su Yang chuckled after hearing this: "First change your mentality. You are not Kobe's level yet. Try to shoot as few as possible and try not to shoot three-pointers. Run tactics seriously and patiently seek out the phone with your phone. In NBA, you have no physical advantage..."

Education is education, and Su Yang still finds ways to improve Tatum's sense of participation, so young people cannot lose their spirits.
