After three days of rest, the Kings' team flew to Cleveland.

Su Yang read the newspaper casually and found that the upcoming King's fight against the Cavaliers among the media claimed that the upcoming King's fight against the Knights was still a preview of the finals. In fact, it should be arranged for the Christmas battle, but it is indeed better for the Spurs to get Paul like that and fight against the King's Christmas battle.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, Su Yang pulled the King's team to hold a video of the meeting and simply arranged strategies and tactics.

"Basically, like the previous finals, the Cavaliers have not undergone qualitative changes this season. We have to run a lot without the ball, making full use of the slow rotation speed and low communication efficiency among Cameron Anthony. Especially the power forward position where Cameron Anthony is, you can pass more balls to the players he is responsible for defending according to the on-site situation, and use his poor defense..."

After reading the scout report, Su Yang found that although the Cavaliers have been winning and have even won 13 consecutive games, Anthony and others still rank fifth from the bottom in the league in running distance and running speed per game, and ranked fifth from the league in losing 114 points per game. They mainly rely on their super strong feelings to defeat their opponents, and occasionally defend with all their strength. Many teams cannot withstand that style of playing.

"You don't need to pay too much attention to it. This is just a regular season. You can't decide anything. Just play normally..."

After Su Yang finished speaking, Antetokounmpo took the lead in agreeing, and the whole team continued to watch the video, focusing on analyzing the Cavaliers' offensive changes this season.

After reading for half an hour, I found that there was no change. LeBron held the ball and assigned Butler and others to occasionally competed one-on-one, which was the best offensive mode for the Cavaliers. A large number of unball runs like the Kings or the Spurs would only have a counterproductive effect on the Cavaliers.

At 7:30 p.m., the game started.

The Cavaliers won the jump ball, Anthony played the ball with his back in the low post and successfully broke through Antetokounmpo's defense, but was hit by Cousins. Antetokounmpo got the rebound and led the team to launch a counterattack. The five-way position was widened, but Antetokounmpo was blocked from rushing to the basket and hit the iron in the mid-range shot.

The two teams were inefficient in the first quarter, and the Kings were only 15-12.

Based on the idea of ​​not using the timeout and wasting, Su Yang took the initiative to request the timeout to make adjustments: "The Cavaliers' idea is very clear. They are imitating our Jazz who defeated us twice, resolutely blocking the inside line, and using a rotation method to make three-pointers. We must improve the outside shooting rate to break the situation. If the outside shooting rate cannot be improved in a short period of time, we must insist on implementing it. In short, don't panic..."

When the players returned to the court, Su Yang turned to the coaching staff and complained: "The Cavaliers are so excited to beat us..." He beat Wiggins to the old master, threw away the wolfberry cup, and scored 30 points. It was like Kky playing Ppy, and his mindset was invincible.

Mike Brown and Jenkins nodded in agreement.

The Cavaliers used to defend the old man, but in this game, they were replaced by priority and did not give the Kings a high-level opportunity to cover the running. Once someone broke through the ball with the ball, especially Antetokounmpo, the players contracted and did not give any room for breakthrough. As for the three-pointer, whoever got closer would go to fill the position. Although it was a little more tiring than usual, the effect was really good, and there was no need for complicated rotation or communication.

The final result depends on how the Cavaliers deal with the rotation stage and how long they can last. After all, as long as the Kings shoot the three-pointer, the Cavaliers continue to defend like that will be useless, but no matter what, Coach Tyron Lu is really a little bit of a thing.

The on-field game continues.

As Su Yang predicted, the Kings failed to improve their outside hit rate in a short period of time, and the Cavaliers could not solve the problem of low-efficiency single-handed offensive efficiency under high-intensity defense. Bridges sanctioned Butler well.

LeBron is the least pressure on the Cavaliers, but unfortunately he has poor shooting skills and only 1 of 6 shots in the second quarter.

Unfortunately, Curry's touch is also poor on the Kings side. His half-time data of 3 of 10 shots made the Kings unable to lead too much.

The game was anxiously played until the last minute. The Cavaliers got the ball. Irving scored a three-pointer and turned around. Antetokounmpo made a layup to the basket, but Tatum followed up and grabbed the offensive rebound, causing TT Thompson to make a foul and made two free throws.

The Cavaliers immediately requested a suspension of tactics. After returning, Korver made a three-pointer, TT Thompson grabbed an offensive rebound, Barrert made a three-pointer, LeBron made a three-pointer, Anthony made a three-pointer, TT Thompson got another offensive rebound,

In the end, LeBron hit a three-pointer, helping the Cavaliers catch up to 104-106, with 17 seconds left.

Su Yang requested a timeout and arranged for the best free throws Deng Luo, Curry and Brogden to appear at the same time, and then arranged for Antetokounmpo to stand outside the field to serve, successfully sending the ball to the backcourt. With several transmissions, the Cavaliers were forced to foul, and the hope was very small.

With Curry making all four free throws and Dunro making one of two free throws, the King finally defeated the Cavaliers 111-108.

In the whole game, Curry only scored 18 points and 7 assists, Antetokounmpo scored 25 points, Cousins ​​scored 17 points and 11 rebounds, while on the Cavaliers, LeBron scored 291,111, Irving made 10 of 22 shots, and Butler made 5 of 15 shots.

After the press conference, the Kings team flew to Indiana overnight to prepare to challenge the Pacers back to back.

When he woke up at noon, Su Yang was lying on the bed and playing with his mobile phone as usual. The media and fans were not disappointed or desperate because of the Cavaliers' loss. Instead, they believed that the Cavaliers' defensive strategy would have increased their hopes of defeating the Kings when they met again in the finals.

"The Cavaliers feel too bad in this game because after 12 consecutive victories, they will struggle to defeat the Celtics in a row and face the Kings back to back at home. For a group of veterans, the physical strength is too big, and Irving's knees are not completely healthy. The key is that the three consecutive offensive rebounds in the end are enough to show their desire to defeat the Kings."

"The Cavaliers used to defend in a stand-alone manner, and this time they faced the Kings, their defensive strategy changed drastically and the execution effect was very good, which shows that the coaching staff led by Tyron Lu was well prepared, so we can fully expect them to make more changes in the finals..."

"This season, Stephen Curry's condition has dropped significantly, and the number of games with excellent and efficient data has been greatly reduced. It can indeed reduce the defensive resources placed on him when playing against the Kings. Both the Jazz and the Cavaliers are doing it, and other teams will also imitate it.

It can be said that Curry's state is the king's Achilles heel, and it is very likely that the king will lose at a critical moment."

Seeing that some fans mentioned Curry's status, Su Yang immediately thought of the previous analysis report of the scout department: Curry's various data, except for the three-point shooting percentage, overall shooting percentage, free throw shooting percentage, assists, steals and other data, all dropped slightly. On the one hand, it was because he took the initiative to give up part of the ball, which had a great impact on his rhythm, and on the other hand, it was because he was healthy.

The finals have been played for four consecutive years, and the consumption is too great, not to mention that many teams learn from the Cavaliers and like to target Curry.

There is no good solution to the problem, so I can only let the king play out first in other positions, which will invisibly reduce the pressure Curry is under.

At 7 p.m., the king started a war with the Pacers.

Su Yang arranged for Curry to take a rest, and asked Antetokounmpo to practice passing and organization more, and allowed Bridges, Deng Luo and Zhou Qi to play more, without forcing many details. The Kings eventually lost to the Pacers 97 to 107, ending the winning streak.

After the press conference, the whole team boarded the plane to Chicago.

Su Yang accidentally saw Antetokounmpo as if he was watching the statistics. He immediately started a conversation on the plane through his mobile phone and asked Antetokounmpo if he wanted to improve his personal data and promote honors such as MVP. Antetokounmpo replied: "Of course I want to attack MVP, but I understand that the team's consecutive championships are preferred, and I need to make sacrifices to make the rookies improve quickly. I am willing to do that, and I firmly believe that I can get MVP in the future. I promise you!" With his words, he was full of domineering and his style was still very clear about the righteousness.

Su Yang smiled and replied with an ok gesture.

After a day off, King Ten challenged the Bull.

Love failed to play due to concussion, Wiggins alone was unable to support him, and the Kings were in double digits, winning 118 to 89. In the post-match handshake, Su Yang curiously glanced at the Bulls new coach Jim Boylen, and sighed that his wife became a mother-in-law.

Jim Boylen started working as an assistant coach in 1987. He worked as a Rockets at the University of Michigan, then went through the Warriors and the Bucks, then returned to the University of Michigan, joined the Jazz and Pacers, and also worked with Popovich for two years. After 20 years, he finally became the head coach.

Unfortunately, after becoming the head coach, his coaching shortcomings were fully exposed, and he played egalitarianism like Walton. He had no planning for training rookies, no emphasis on playing time and ball rights, which made the Bulls' potential rookies vain and clamored to leave the team.

"Why do new head coaches always like egalitarianism?"

Su Yang complained, it was really strange to look at the rookies such as Walton, Boylen, Billups, and Uduka.

After fighting the bulls, three consecutive guests ended.
