Chapter 714 Ku has the best test of gravity
After a day off, the Kings team flew to Oklahoma to train in the arena rented in advance.
After arranging the training content, Su Yang chatted with Mike Brown and other assistant coaches on the sidelines, and team doctor Tom Kaufman also participated.
The topic naturally went over to the injuries of Brogdon and Curry. Kaufman said: "The two of them are recovering relatively well. They can officially resume training after four days. If they continue to maintain a good recovery, they will be able to debut on May [-]nd. Enter the game."
From resuming light training, to resuming confrontation training, and then to actually playing games, there are three stages to go through.Meidi's post-injury recovery technology is considered to be the best in the world. Su Yang spent a lot of money to hire a physiotherapy recovery team, which is already a quick result.
"So, can we relax a little bit and play two more games in the first round to buy time for the two of them?" Assistant coach Di Brown suddenly suggested. It is a weak team.
"Don't play the game..."
Su Yang resolutely vetoed the proposal, mainly because he had seen too many trials or BO5 games where he wanted to play casually first, and he often played himself to death. With Westbrook's performance in the second game, it would be difficult for the king to be a little more stable Hit, how dare you release water casually.
But don't become another Doc Rivers at that time, leaving a shameful record of leading 3-1 but being reversed in the end.
Hearing Su Yang's words, Mike Brown immediately changed the subject and talked about the most developed oil industry in Oklahoma.
After training in the afternoon, the whole team had dinner together and observed the trends of other teams in the east and west, first of all, the Spurs.
As a potential second-round opponent of the Kings, the Spurs beat the Jazz and took a 3-0 lead. Coach Snyder also played tactical rationality with the Spurs, and Popovich played on the spot what a thousand-year-old fox was, without giving any chance at all.
The Warriors are also a 3-0 blaster against the Trail Blazers.
It may be to prevent Lillard from being too tired, or to expose Lillard's defensive shortcomings. Trail Blazers coach Stotts resolutely does not use the double-team strategy, which made Curry turn into Curry, while Durant played It's like shooting training, averaging 35+ easily per game.
The Rockets are on the same schedule as the Kings, and they are currently 2-0 ahead of their opponent, the Pelicans, with a bigger advantage than the Kings.
In the East, the Cavaliers lead the Wizards 3-0, the Celtics lead the Bulls 2-1, the Raptors and Pacers draw 1-1, and the 76ers lead the Heat 2-1. More balanced, at least able to pass the trick.
After watching the post-match analysis of the Spurs vs. Jazz, the Kings all agreed that Leonard is difficult to deal with. Whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, Leonard’s influence is too great. No one dares to say that he can stably eat Leonard , Curry was also entangled in death.
Su Yang is also very worried. Signing George Hill with a low salary and renewing Patty Mills, and Leonard maintaining a healthy Spurs, is really a bit scary. If the King wants to win, he must go slanted, or Curry and Brogdon will return early , but that's also pretty hard.
The next day, the third game of the first round of the playoffs between the Kings and the Thunder started at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.
The starting lineup of the two teams remains unchanged.
The Thunder's tactics have not changed. The offense is madly attacking the inside, and the defense is desperately pinching three-pointers. Soon, Tatum and Antetokounmpo have 3 turnovers, and the irons are one after another. The King can only rely on Los Angeles. Pace singled out and scored in the paint.
This time, the king and generals were not careless.
With 5 minutes left in the first quarter of the game, the Kings trailed 9-21, and the situation was almost exactly the same as in the second game.
Su Yang also asked for a timeout for adjustments, but Lei Ting didn't care about anything, he just played with his life and didn't worry about exhausting too much energy at all.
After the first quarter, the Kings trailed 25 to 34.
In the second quarter of the game, relying on the advantage of personnel rotation, the Kings continued to improve their efficiency significantly. However, Westbrook came on the stage early to lead the team. Coach Donovan's strategy was exactly the same as the second game, but the only difference was that Westbrook was not so strong. Control the shot.
Oladipo and Sabonis seized the opportunity to play, and at the end of the half, the Kings barely narrowed the point difference by 2 points.
Back in the locker room, Su Yang didn't make complicated adjustments, but Ross should start in the third quarter to increase his breakthrough ability.
The change had a miraculous effect. Back in the third quarter, Rose, LaVine and Jeff Green cooperated to chase the score 7-0.
The Thunder made adjustments immediately, and Donovan asked Westbrook to find cover to eat Rose alone, scoring 3 in a row, and Su Yang was forced to suspend.
Before you come and I go, the two teams tied and entered the fourth quarter, and then the point difference has not been widened. The king is because Tatum made too many mistakes, Antetokounmpo was put on three-pointers and hit the iron one after another, wasting Lopez, Rose and Green. The Thunder played very calmly and did not make those weird mistakes. It is quite amazing to help the Thunder score without losing points.
In the last eight seconds of the game, Westbrook finally rushed to the basket and caused a foul. He made two free throws and only led by 2 points, leaving the Kings with a chance.
Su Yang asked to suspend the deployment of lore tactics, but it was a pity that Tatum hit the iron with a three-pointer, and the Kings finally lost 114 to 116.
The series became 2-1.
Participating in the press conference after the game, talking about why he failed to complete the reversal like the second game, Su Yang thought that the second game was mainly because Westbrook's last quarter was too outrageous, but he said: "We made too many mistakes. Jim had 7 turnovers and his shooting efficiency was very low, Giannis made 9 of 2 three-pointers, the Thunder played super strong defense, and Westbrook performed very well."
Westbrook made 24 of 11 shots, only 1 three-pointer, 14 of 10 free throws, 11 assists, 12 rebounds, and 3 steals. His performance was almost perfect, even with 5 turnovers, Not even Tatum.
The interview was soon reported.
Some fans criticized Su Yang for throwing the pot away. Although the Thunder used the same defensive strategy for two consecutive games, he did not make any changes on the offensive end. The Kings scored only single digits in the half of the first quarter twice. Blame the rookies.
Su Yang didn't bother to pay attention to the criticism, and called a meeting with the whole team early the next morning to discuss. After learning that Tatum and Antetokounmpo had practiced after the game last night, he praised them on the spot: "I'm very happy to see you work so hard, but occasionally Abnormality is a normal behavior, don't think too much, what I always emphasize is the offensive and defensive strategy of Thunder, it is very easy for them to collapse themselves..."
Tatum and Antetokounmpo nodded again and again.
Su Yang instead announced that the rotation would be adjusted in the fourth game, allowing Rose to return to the starting point guard and Covington to serve as the starting small forward.
Payton Jr. still has a chance to fully demonstrate his strength, but he will not be as intuitive as before. After all, when he is on the bench, LaVine will have a lot of control over the ball. As for Di Brown, he proposed to relax and play a few more games to buy time for Curry. Don't mention it again.
Thunder is not so easy to handle.
On the 21st, the fourth game of the first round of the playoffs between the Kings and the Thunder continued at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.
The Thunder still started aggressively, but with Su Yang's adjustments, the Kings didn't score more than half of the game and only scored single digits.
Westbrook still played calmly, but the efficiency was not as high as in the third game. Even though the king was troubled by fouls, all the starters were fouled 4 to 5 times. In the end, they still narrowly beat the Thunder 114 to 110. Antetokounmpo scored the highest 29 points .
雷霆那边,威少28投10中,三分8投3中,全场空砍35分14助攻14篮板。
Participating in the press conference after the game, talking about why we were able to win, Su Yang said with a smile: "We were lucky tonight, Tatum still made a lot of mistakes, but Giannis hit 4 three-pointers, that is our attack One of the manifestations of end dominance..."
With a 3-1 lead, the Kings flew back to Saskatchewan. After a day of rest, they continued to face the Thunder at home.
The two teams knew each other well, and the rhythm of the game did not change. Westbrook's efficiency returned to the level of the second game, with a shooting percentage as high as 44.1%. However, other Thunder players, Oladipo and others were locked up by the king's iron wall, and their shooting percentage was less than 40%. .
In the end, the Kings defeated the Thunder 106-98 and advanced to the Western Conference Semifinals 4-1 in the series.
Tatum finally ushered in an explosion, with 22 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds in the game, but the victory mainly relied on Antetokounmpo, LaVine and Lopez. The three of them took turns to hit the inside and scored a total of 57 points. 18 offensive rebounds.
After finishing the press conference, Su Yang returned to the office, replaying the game while paying attention to the schedule of the next round.
Between the talks, Mike Brown spoke.
"The Spurs have swept the Jazz 4-0 to advance. We only have 4 days to rest. According to Dr. Kaufman, Curry and Brogdon are temporarily unable to play normally. The question now is whether to let Curry appear as a fixed-point shooter?"
Su Yang felt emotional when he heard the words, is it really necessary to try, "Even if you smoke in the bottom corner, someone has to pass the ashtray to Curry?" '
