0773 Alliance first in various meanings
On the 17th, the Kings' team flew to Charlotte. Su Yang took advantage of the afternoon break to get together with Jordan for a while. An old friend Mickey Kubczek, whom he met during the Lakers, also came to participate. The theme was to discuss the short articles Su Yang had posted before.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Yang talked to Jordan and Mickey in a friend's tone, about his views on potential high-ranking rookies such as Zion, Morant, and Culver, hinting that if Walker is given up, he will choose between the three-ball and Morant.
Anyway, the three goals and Morant have their own advantages, it depends on what ranking the Hornets will get and what Jordan likes.
After the chat, Jordan gave Su Yang a bottle of red wine to express his gratitude and said bluntly that if the grades are good, there will be a great gift.
Su Yang turned to the Spectrum Center and met with Curry and others to make a general arrangement first: "In this game tonight, the Hornets' center position is relatively weak. We can play more inside and force him to change their defensive strategies by establishing an advantage..."
Is the Hornets center Bismarck Biyonbo, who performed well in the playoffs against the Heat and the Cavaliers in the Raptors, and coincided with the surge in salary space in the summer of 2016. He signed a four-year, $72 million contract, but was quickly reinstated.
With that height of 208 and the only thing left to fight now, Cousins can beat him up against him.
Su Yang also took the opportunity to arrange more ball rights for Cousins. Although he could give orders directly, it was more peaceful.
"Play the inside, play the inside..."
Curry agreed, and Antetokounmpo and others also expressed their understanding that the whole team seemed to have tacit understanding and let Cousins play more.
Su Yang saw Curry, Antetokounmpo and others' expressions of no complaints, and Cousins' slightly excited expression, and thought that he was really convinced to lead such a team. If it were other teams, two players who had won FMVP would easily cooperate with the third team.
At eight o'clock in the blink of an eye, the game started.
When the King won the jump ball, Su Yang arranged an opening tactic and sat down to observe. The Kings and generals on the field divided their work. They were already quite mature in how to give the ball to the inside and how to help Cousins grab the position, without further ado.
Cousins also started with a turn and slamming the bottom.
But I never thought that in just five minutes of the first quarter, Hornets coach James took Biyongbo and replaced the young Hernan Gomez, which greatly increased the defensive pressure Cousins encountered. Fortunately, Gomez had a poor movement ability and Cousins turned to the face frame.
Cousins has strong skills in the face basket and good physical fitness. He plays a bit like the peak Sir. Gomez has no good way to deal with it. He quickly suffered two fouls. The Hornets defended the inside avalanche, and the quality of the outside pick-and-roll also declined, and Walker was implicated.
The king cut his wound, and went back and forth between them. After three quarters, he led by 22 points, and finally won 124-99.
Cousins scored 33 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game, which can be said to be returning to the peak, but it did not cause much discussion.
Su Yang's Twitter chat was only three hot topics, but instead said in a high-profile manner at the press conference: "Everyone mistakenly thought that Cousins could not return to the top after being injured, but that was just that our ball rights distribution had changed. He is still the number one center in the league. Embiid still has a long way to go if he wants to reach his current level. As for a rookie like Ayton, learn the pick-and-roll first..."
He deliberately mentioned Embiid and Ayton to make fans, media, and even coaches with substitute voting rights noticed Cousins' performance in this game and the next few games, and did not tell lies. Ayton had not met Paul yet, so he really couldn't pick-and-roll.
The news interview content was soon reported, and hot discussions began, and 76ers and the Sun officials expressed dissatisfaction.
Su Yang didn't talk much, and flew to Detroit after a day off to challenge Griffin's Pistons after his comeback.
There was no pressure throughout the game. The Kings lineup was crushed and they hit the Pistons. Pachulia did not dare to make any malicious small moves when she met a notorious player like Cousins. Cousins scored 38 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks, leading the Kings to win.
After the game, the hot topic with the keyword "Cousins Return of King" quickly soared in the number of related tweets.
"This is Su Yang's practical work in reviving classical basketball. He is showing the whole United States how dynamic it is to play at the center as the core. Although it can be cool to shoot more three-pointers, we Americans like to watch muscle confrontation, which is much more intense than wwe!"
"Cousins deserves a high All-Star vote ranking, at least stronger than Kuzma, who only uses those strange clothes as gimmicks. Everyone acts and breaks the hidden advantages of big cities. Start with us, start by vote for the real All-Star!"
"You all appreciate it, and I feel desperate. Cousins is so powerful, do you still expect your home team to win the championship?"
Amid all kinds of discussions, the Kings' team flew to Brooklyn.
When he woke up at noon, Su Yang opened the MT live broadcast and called on fans to double the vote on the day of the 21st, and Cousins voted more. The fans reacted enthusiastically. What was more surprising was that the centers such as Mutombo also called on fans to vote for Cousins.
"Everyone needs to pay attention to the role of big players. Only by diversification can we create a better viewing experience."
Su Yang specially tweeted to thank the two celebrities, and instead rushed to the stadium to make an arrangement for the Nets. He then accepted an interview and talked about the Nets' sale to Boss Cai, saying: "I hope he can enjoy becoming a boss..."
The game started at 8 o'clock, and Cousins faced the young and strong Jarret Allen in the interior. He did not have a significant advantage in height, weight and speed. He played in an average first few rounds. Su Yang saw this and asked for a timeout, so that the whole team would attack from the outside first.
A large number of pick-and-rolls were launched, and Dinwiddie and Granham were inefficient in defense, so Jarrett Allen had to participate in the robbery or assist in defense. Cousins got several easy scoring opportunities at the same time, which made Jarrett Allen not know how to deal with it.
When Allen's physical strength decreased when running back and forth, Su Yang directed Cousins to start hard-drilling, and Allen could see that it was difficult for the naked eye to resist.
The Kings do not play the overall sideways on the defensive end, but instead watch the people take advantage of the situation, especially when defending Joe Harris. They just keep shooting in close proximity and allow Harris to break through. Harris stages funny scenes one after another, which gradually makes the Nets' momentum become sluggish and loses their fighting spirit.
In the end, the Kings beat the Nets 123-94, with six players in the team scoring in double digits, and Cousins scored 31 points and 12 rebounds.
In three consecutive games in 3010, espn and other media have given headline reports, successfully suppressing LeBron’s triple-double news.
With 11 consecutive victories, the Kings team flew to Toronto overnight, rested for less than 24 hours, challenging the Raptors back to back.
According to the previous plan, Su Yang arranged for Curry to take a rest, but for the sake of continuity, Cousins was arranged to continue playing.
The game attracted thousands of Chinese fans to watch the game, and Su Yang temporarily arranged for Zhou Qi to play for a while. On the Raptors, head coach Nas was ruthless. Relying on the Kings' absence from Curry, he intercepted the inside in a crazily manner and tried to curb Antetokounmpo and Cousins. As a result, Dunro and Brown joined forces to 12 three-pointers, and Bridges also restricted DeRozan well. The Kings won 18 points.
Unfortunately, Cousins interrupted 30 consecutive games, with only 26 points and 11 rebounds, but he still received praise from the media.
The whole team flew back to the United States, rushed to Memphis for a long distance, and rested for three days before officially challenging the Grizzlies.
As the final round of All-Star votes were announced, Antetokounmpo and Curry were selected as the starter in the Western Conference, while Cousins finally reached fifth in the Western Conference frontcourt ranking, losing less than 10,000 votes to Zhumeng Green. The advantage of being selected as a substitute is very great, and it has taken effect.
The game started at 7 o'clock, and Cousins suddenly spoke: "The Grizzlies have a strong inside defense, I will pass more balls for you..."
A simple sentence shows that he no longer needs special care. Antetokounmpo and others nodded to show that they understand.
Su Yang also understood in seconds and then changed to normal play. After the opening, Curry and Brogden caught Gasol Jr. for military training.
After the game, the Kings defeated the Grizzlies 109-96, winning a 13-game winning streak and continuing to lead the Spurs.
In the last game of six consecutive away games, the team flew to Los Angeles to challenge the Clippers. Cousins beat the short and strong monster Harrell and veteran Gotat, scoring 36 points, 9 assists and 14 rebounds, helping the Kings expand their winning streak to the 14th game and bringing their leadership to full.
With 14 consecutive victories, Su Yang's season coaching record has become 45 wins and 5 losses, and he has secured the Western Conference All-Star head coach in advance.
Espn tweeted immediately to congratulate Su Yang, and major gambling websites once again lowered the odds of the Kings' championship.
Stephen Smith tweeted: "All signs indicate that the Kings' chances of winning five consecutive championships have increased significantly. They have the league's first center, the league's first record, the league's first coach, the league's first championship odds, and they are dominating all the list..."
