0774 Playoffs

Back at the Golden One Center at home, the Kings faced the challenge of the Hawks, Curry taught Trae Young, Antetokounmpo taught Collins, Tatum also bullied the same rookie Benbri, and Su Yang defeated Pierce, and finally won 23 points.

The next day, the All-Star substitutes were announced.

Cousins ​​was officially selected, while Brogdon lost to Lillard at a slight disadvantage, which made many fans say they were regretful.

Su Yang didn't care at first, after all, it was good for coaching one person and one city, but the official 76ers suddenly jumped out and tweeted to congratulate Simmons on being selected as the All-Star, and reiterated the old story, emphasizing that Simmons should be the best rookie of that year, and mocked him that winning first is not a win.

Although Brogdon was not mentioned, anyone could see the official ridicule of the 76ers, and Su Yang immediately decided to cause trouble.

The next day on February 2, the Kings faced 76ers at home.

Su Yang adjusted the rotation and arranged Brogdon's starting partner Curry to appear on the field. He also emphasized to Brogdon: "After coming on the court, as long as you fall into the position defense, you will be two meters away from Simmons, and use his shortcomings of not daring to shoot from a long time as a mockery."

"Would it be too cruel?" Brogden was a little surprised, and Antetokounmpo and others said they wanted to be more cruel.

The game started, and the Kings quickly played a 15-4 attack wave. It was not because the Kings' offense was so fierce, but on the defensive end, Brogdon contracted to limit Simmons' breakthrough, and Embiid was abandoned by himself because he wanted to give up the inside space for Simmons.

The Kings established a lead in that way until the end of the game, and defeated the 76ers by as many as 23 points, without any change.

In the whole game, Brogden scored 34 points and 3 assists in the team, completely defeating Simmons.

After the game, he attended a press conference and before the reporter asked a question, Su Yang picked up the microphone first and said, "Please tell me the official Twitter of 76ers. Brogden is indeed better than Simmons, at least from the past to the present, this has been the case..."

Hot discussions on social media erupted, and fans made many gifs and expression pictures, mocking or spoofing Simmons was emptied for two meters and without shooting. Rondo and Zhumeng Green appeared unexpectedly, and more fans were curious about why Simmons refused to shoot far.

When Su Yang saw the hot discussion, he thought to himself that 76 people must thank themselves, which is to detect and treat early and avoid late stages.

After a day off, the King flew to St. Anthony to challenge the Spurs, fought hard for four quarters, and finally lost 4 points.

After the game, the Kings did not have many unforced mistakes. The Spurs played well. Although Leonard only had 25 points, the Spurs finally played the same rhythm as they played against other teams. Six players in the team scored in double digits and the offense was smooth.

"Don't underestimate the heart of the championship for a moment. CP3 will actually choose to run more without the ball." On the plane back to Sa City, assistant coach Mike Brown sighed repeatedly, "He is facing an explosive decline at such an age, and chooses to improve other abilities..."

Su Yang was also quite surprised. A person with a strong personality like Paul, even LeBron was a vicious attacker, and he actually chose to play more without the ball in the Spurs, and he was not like the Rockets when he was in the Rockets. After passing the ball, he ran to the other side to wait, but ran like Curry.

The emergency stop and the shooting are not Paul's specialty, but Popovich has made adjustments. He used a large number of mobile offensive tactics to make up for Paul's C&S's disadvantages, and can continue to use Paul's basketball IQ. It can only be said that the two of them have reached a new level of running-in.

However, the Spurs have not become stronger, they have only become more stable. If they really want to play seven games in the series, it all depends on the critical moment.

The whole team flew back to Sashima City. It was approaching the Lunar New Year. Su Yang began to participate in various dinners and activities, running back and forth in Sashima Chinese District, Los Angeles Chinatown, San Gabriel, Irvine and other areas. He also flew to Flushing, New York, mainly to integrate the Chinese forces in the United States and establish a mutual aid group to better speak out for the Chinese, just like the Irish people back then.

There was no coaching in the game, and it was all handed over to Mike Brown. Fortunately, it lasted for 7 days and won all four games.

Number 16, Su Yang, who was finally free, flew to Charlotte to participate in the All-Stars, saw Tatum participate in the rookie challenge, Curry participates in the three-point competition, and finally coaches the All-Stars, setting up iconic tactics for Wade and Nowitzki.

After returning to Sass City after the All-Star Weekend, Su Yang discussed with Hinki about the transaction date deadline and decided not to trade. However, the other teams in the league only had big deals with the Raptors and Grizzlies. In the East, the Cavaliers and Kai did not make any big moves.

In the West, Davis is still in the Pelicans, and Rondo is not sent away by the Rockets. He accidentally gets along well with Harden. The Lakers have not waited for the third giant, and the Warriors have no reinforcement. The Jazz and the Trail Blazers are neither up nor down, and the pattern has almost not changed.

No. 21 against the Warriors, Su Yang regained the coaching spike.

Unfortunately, the Kings lost 123 to 125, and lost to the Warriors for the second time in the season. The obvious problem is that they only made 10 of 33 three-pointers, which did not reach the average level, and allowed the Warriors to grab 14 offensive rebounds, but they were slightly restricted to Durant.

Because of losing to the Warriors and the Spurs one after another, the gambling website increased the King's odds to win the championship, indicating that he was not so optimistic about the King.

Espn and other media also pointed out the Kings' rebounding problem again. Antetokounmpo and others also took the initiative to hold a meeting on the plane for discussion, but Su Yang didn't care much. After all, part of the reason for the few rebounds was the defensive strategy, and he had already decided not to make adjustments.

The team landed in Ox City for a special plane. After a day off, they challenged the Thunder. Su Yang arranged various strategies step by step.

The game was easily won, and the Kings flew to Minnesota to challenge the Timberwolves, and they still won easily. Moreover, the team did not have much joy to win. It seemed that they all had to be healthy in the remaining regular season, and only the playoffs were the key.

Su Yang was not worried when he saw it. He adjusted his playing time when he returned to home and reused several young men such as Bridges, Dunro, Tatum and Sabonis. The young men lived up to their hopes and led the team to win the Clippers, Knicks and Celtics.

With six consecutive victories, the Kings embarked on the first away trip in March. Su Yang did not go with the team and stayed in Sa City to accompany Jiang Ruolan. Finally, on the 15th, he hoped that his son Su Feng would be born, and he would take eight more days of maternity leave. He did not officially return to the team until the 24th.

Just as the Kings challenged the Lakers away, Kobe bluntly stated that he wanted to be Su Feng's basketball leader, and strive to train to the point of becoming the NBA, and like Rivers, he staged a scene where I coached my son. Su Yang agreed on the spot and prepared to become a disciple if he was older.

After a big victory over the Lakers, the Kings defeated the Clippers the next day, and then started the repertoire of each season, that is, the Southwest Division trip, defeating the Pelicans, Rockets and Mavericks in succession, and returning to home court to win the Rockets again, but the winning streak was ended by the Cavaliers.

After the game, the group reviewed the game. Although he only lost five points, the inside line still did not open, resulting in the outside line not being shot. Antetokounmpo did not rush up, Cousins ​​was double-teamed when he got the ball, Curry got very few fouls, and in the end the overall shooting rate dropped, and he was forced to many one-on-one.

In the last three games, Su Yang used all experiments: how to better help Cousins ​​get opportunities at the low post and better help Antetokounmpo hit the basket without starting with the five-outside and one-inside and four-outside formations, but unfortunately, he only made a little change.

With back-to-back losses to the Jazz away, the Kings' regular season record was 67 wins and 15 losses, barely leading the Spurs by 2 wins and ranking first in the league. The opponent in the first round of the playoffs was the Clippers, and Rivers is expected to compete for the best head coach.

The other three teams in the West are playing against each other, the Spurs play against the Seventh Rockets, the Warriors play against the Sixth Trail Blazers, and the Lakers play against the Fifth Jazz. Su Yang saw the matchup distribution and thought to himself that this time, the two brothers Westbrook and George should not let rookie Mitchell do it again.

According to the schedule, the Kings got three days off. Su Yang didn't spend much energy preparing for the game, but he spent more time teasing the children every day. After all, as a first-round opponent, the Clippers are too weak, and the only thing to worry about is that the league may control the field.
