Chapter 768 The first alliance in various meanings
NO.17, the entire Kings team flew to Charlotte, and Su Yang took advantage of the afternoon break to get together with Jordan for a while, and Mitch Kubchak, an old friend from the Lakers period, also came to participate. The topic was to discuss what Su Yang posted before essay.

Taking the opportunity, Su Yang talked to Jordan and Mitch in a friendly tone about his views on Sanqiu, Zion, Morant, Culver and other potential high-ranking rookies, suggesting that if Walker is given up, it will be in Sanqiu and Mitch. Morant to choose between.

Anyway, Sangoal and Morant have their own advantages and disadvantages. It depends on what pick the Hornets will get and what Jordan likes.

At the end of the chat, Jordan gave Su Yang a bottle of red wine to express his gratitude, and bluntly said that if the grades are good, there will be a great gift.

Su Yang turned to the center of the spectrum, joined Curry and others, and made a general arrangement first: "In tonight's game, the Hornets' center position is relatively weak. We can play more inside and force them to change by building advantages. Defensive strategy..."

The center of the Hornets is Bismack Biyombo. Before the Raptors, he performed well in the playoffs against the Heat and the Cavaliers. It also coincided with the surge in salary space in the summer of 16. He signed a 4-year $7200 million contract, but he was quickly picked up. Call back to prototype.

With a height of 208 and only a little hard work left now, Cousins ​​can completely blow him up in matchups.

Su Yang also took the opportunity to arrange more possessions for Cousins. Although he could give orders directly, it was more peaceful.

"Hit inside, hit inside..."

Curry agreed aloud, and Antetokounmpo and others also expressed their understanding. The whole team seemed to have a tacit understanding to let Cousins ​​play more.

Seeing the expressions of Curry, Antetokounmpo and others without any complaints, and the slightly excited expression of Cousins, Su Yang said that he was really convinced to lead this kind of team. If it were another team, two players who had won FMVP, then Will easily cooperate with the team's youngest.

At eight o'clock in a blink of an eye, the game started.

The king won the jump ball, Su Yang set up an opening tactic, and then sat down to observe, and the kings on the court divided their duties. How to give the ball to the inside and how to help Cousins ​​grab the position are quite mature. Needless to say.

Cousins ​​also started the game with a turnaround and sinking to the bottom.

But I never thought that after only 5 minutes in the first quarter, Hornets coach James removed Biyombo and replaced him with the young Hernangomez, which greatly increased the defensive pressure on Cousins. Fortunately, Gomez With enough mobility, Cousins ​​turned to the face frame.

Cousins ​​has strong face-to-basket skills and good physical fitness. He plays a bit like Stoudemire at his peak. Gomez has no way to deal with it. He gets fouled twice soon. Walker is implicated.

The king followed the wound with a knife, and between you and me, they led by 22 points after three quarters, and finally won 124 to 99.

Cousins ​​scored 33 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists. It can be said that he has returned to the top, but it did not cause much discussion.

There were only three or more tweets on Su Yang’s lottery draw, and he turned to a high-profile statement at the press conference: “People mistakenly think that Cousins ​​​​can’t return to the top after being injured, but that’s just a change in our ball distribution. 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, he must learn the pick-and-roll first..."

I deliberately mentioned Embiid and Ayton, so that fans, the media, and even the coaches who have the right to vote as a substitute, noticed Cousins' performance in this game and the next few games, and he didn't tell lies. Dunn hasn't met Paul yet, so he really doesn't know how to pick and roll.

The content of the news interview was soon reported, and various heated discussions ensued. The 76ers and Sun officials expressed their dissatisfaction.

Su Yang didn't talk any more, and flew to Detroit after a day's rest to challenge the Pistons away after Griffin's comeback.

There was no pressure throughout the game. The Kings lineup was crushed and they played with the pistons. Pachulia met a notorious player like Cousins ​​and did not dare to engage in those malicious tricks. Cousins ​​scored 38 points, 13 rebounds and 3 Block the shot and lead the Kings to a big victory.

After the game, the hot topic with 'Cousins ​​is back' as the key word quickly soared in the number of related tweets.

"This is Su Yang's practice of reviving classic basketball. He is showing the United States how dynamic it is to play with a center as the core. Although it can be cool to shoot more three-pointers, we Americans like to watch muscle confrontation, which is more intense than WWE. too much!"

"Cousins ​​deserves a high ranking in the All-Star vote, at least better than Kuzma who only uses those strange clothes as a gimmick. Let's take action and break the hidden advantages of big cities. Let's start with us and start with the vote. The all-star start!"

"You all appreciate it, but I feel desperate. With such a strong Cousins, do you still expect your home team to win the championship?"

Amid all the discussions, the Kings team flew to Brooklyn.

After waking up at noon, Su Yang turned on the MT live broadcast, calling on fans to take advantage of the 21st day to count as double the votes, and more Cousins ​​votes.Fans responded enthusiastically. What is more surprising is that famous 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 his thanks to the two celebrities, and then rushed to the arena to prepare for the match against the Nets. Afterwards, he was interviewed and talked about the fact that the Nets were about to be completely sold to Boss Cai. He said: "I hope he can enjoy being a The matter of the boss..."

The game started at [-] o'clock. Cousins ​​faced the young and strong Jarrett Allen on the inside. He didn't have an obvious advantage in height, weight and speed. The first few rounds were played with mediocre efficiency. The team first attack from the outside.

A large number of pick-and-rolls were launched, and Dinwiddie and Graham's defensive efficiency was low. Jarrett Allen had to participate in the attack or help defense. Cousins ​​got several easy scoring opportunities at the same time, allowing Jarrett Allen I don't know how to deal with it.

When Allen ran back and forth and his physical strength decreased, Su Yang directed Cousins ​​to start hard chiseling, and Allen could hardly stand it with the naked eye.

The king's defensive end does not play the overall side, but depends on the people, especially Joe Harris, just frantically defending close to the shot, allowing Harris to break through, and Harris staged funny scenes one after another, making the Nets gradually become more aggressive. Downturn, loss of fighting spirit.

In the end, the Kings beat the Nets 123 to 94. Six players from the team scored in double figures. Cousins ​​scored 31 points and 12 rebounds.

For three consecutive 30+10 games, ESPN and other media gave headlines one after another, successfully suppressing LeBron's triple-double news.

With 11 consecutive victories, the Kings team flew to Toronto overnight, rested for less than 24 hours, and challenged the Raptors back to back.

According to the previous plan, Su Yang arranged for Curry to take turns, 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 longer. On the Raptors side, the head coach Nurse was ruthless, relying on the fact that the Kings did not have Curry to play, frantically blocked the inside line, trying to Containing Antetokounmpo and Cousins, as a result, Dunlo and Bro made 12 three-pointers together. Bridges also restricted DeRozan very well, and the Kings won by 18 points.

It's a pity that Cousins ​​was interrupted in 30+ consecutive games, and only scored 26 points and 11 rebounds, but he still received praise from the media.

The whole team then flew back to the United States, traveled long distances to Memphis, and rested for three days before formally challenging the Grizzlies.

Coinciding with the announcement of the final round of votes for the All-Stars, Antetokounmpo and Curry were selected as the starters in the Western Conference, while Cousins' frontcourt ranking in the Western Conference finally came to fifth place, only losing to Dreaming Green by less than [-] votes, and was selected as a substitute The advantage is very big, it is effective.

The game started at seven o'clock, and Cousins ​​suddenly said: "The Grizzlies have a strong interior defense, and I will give you more passes..."

A simple sentence, indicating that he no longer needs special care, Antetokounmpo and others nodded to express their understanding.

Su Yang also understood in seconds, and then switched back to normal play. After the opening, Curry and Brogdon caught Gasol Jr. for military training.

After the whole game, the Kings beat the Grizzlies 109 to 96, winning a wave of 13 consecutive victories and continuing to lead the Spurs.

In the last game of the six-game winning streak, the whole team flew to Los Angeles to challenge the Clippers. Cousins ​​blasted Harrell and veteran Gortat, scoring 36 points, 9 assists and 14 rebounds. The victory was extended to the 14th game, and the leadership was full.

With 14 consecutive victories, Su Yang's season coaching record has become 45 wins and 5 losses, and he has locked in the Western All-Star head coach in advance.

ESPN immediately tweeted congratulations to Su Yang, and the major betting sites once again lowered the odds of the Kings winning the championship.

Stephen Smith tweeted: "All signs are that the probability of the Kings winning five consecutive championships is greatly increased. They have the league's No. [-] center, the league's No. [-] record, the league's No. [-] coach, and the league's No. [-] championship odds. They are occupying all the rankings one…"
