Chapter 739 The Ultimate Versailles

After finishing the press conference, Su Yang led the team to fly back to Saskatchewan overnight. According to the schedule, there will be three days of rest.

At 03:30 in the morning, the plane landed at Saskatchewan Airport. He took a special car back to the apartment and slept until two o'clock in the afternoon.

Habitually turn on the mobile phone to browse websites such as Twitter and Weibo, and found that the discussion about the second game of the King and Cavaliers Finals has passed, and the public is discussing "Crossing the Sky: Beauty Trap" and "Jurassic World 2", etc. Movie.

However, there are still two topics about the finals, which still appear on the hot search list, with a reading index of over [-] million.

The first is why the king can always succeed in lore?

ESPN specially invited two legendary coaches, Nelson and Pat Riley, to conduct a video connection to answer questions for fans.

Old Nelson said: "Because the king's coach is Su Yang, he always succeeded in the lore in the Thunder, he always succeeded in the lore in the Lakers, he is now coaching the King, of course he can always succeed in the lore, he is unique in the basketball field , he is the king of coaches... Well, just kidding, the real reason is that the Kings played a lot of games and the fans paid more attention. After the number of bases increased, a successful game like last night's lore will naturally leave a deep impression on everyone , And those cases where the lore failed, few fans will remember, but some teams have lore the King, if you ask their fans, those fans will definitely remember those games.”

While the old Nelson was talking, ESPN gave subtitles, mentioning that in the 13 finals, the Lakers defeated the Heat in 4 consecutive games. Even more outrageous.

Riley went on to say: "The core reason why the Kings always succeed in lore is their super teamwork. Su Yang is responsible for formulating the most suitable tactics, such as the ghost exit last night, making full use of Curry's pulling ability and Rose's Breakthrough ability, and the players of the Kings also trust Su Yang's arrangement [-]% and execute it [-]%, which is very rare.

For example, Curry was double-teamed last night and only scored 7 points. The tactic at the last moment was obviously his first finishing choice, but he has no complaints about Rose holding the ball to break through the lore. Seeing the FMVP that countless players want to get, of course he definitely wants to get the FMVP, but in comparison, he cares more about the victory of the game. If you can recall that Pippen refused to play because he was not the first choice for lore , you can understand how rare that is.

In short, the king can always succeed in the lore, which is one of the manifestations of their super team strength. It does not matter whether the lore is not important. He can solve the problem without lore in many cases, just like Michael Jordan never in the finals Play tiebreak. "

Riley taunted Pippen invisibly while talking, and deliberately praised Jordan. If it wasn't for Jordan's die-hard fans, it would be hard not to make people suspect that he was trying to make trouble. After all, he was the guy who retired Jordan's No. 23 jersey in the Heat, and he might also be the god-made Jordan. Improve yourself relatively.

Swiping the phone casually, Su Yang saw the second topic.

Why can Su Yang always use those seemingly hopeless veterans to use their strength to return to the top?

The initiator of the topic listed the players who once performed efficiently under the guidance of Su Yang, from Tyson Chandler, Livingston, Tracy McGrady in the Thunder period, Diaw in the Lakers period, and Turner in the past few years of the Kings. And Gay, as well as Jeff Green and Derrick Rose this season, and those players seem to have become less efficient after leaving Su Yang.

"I take at most half of these credits..."

Seeing the discussion, Su Yang wanted to rectify the names of many coaches. For example, Tyson Chandler was a leaker. Coach Cenaras developed his defensive ability, and finally completely re-proved his strength in the Nets. Signing to the Thunder is an early use.

Dior and his like cut off the Spurs, and then use Popovich to use Dior's thinking to defeat Popovich...

But if you really want to explain it, no one will believe it.

Swiping the phone to watch the discussion in detail, Su Yang found that there was a video interview of Rose's agent BJ Armstrong talking about Rose's lore. First, he crazily praised that Rose had returned to normal strength, and said that he had received many offers and contracts.

Finally, I talked about Su Yang's help to Ross.

"I have to thank Coach Su Yang. Now I can tell the truth. Last summer, Derek didn't receive too many satisfactory contract offers. He once thought that he would have no ball to play, but just when he was about to despair, Coach Su Yang flew to Chicago in person, took Stephen and DeMarcus together, and solemnly recruited Dedrick to play in Sacramento. They also took the initiative to mention that Derrick had already been in their plan, just operating the salary in the early stage. space, spends a lot of time…”

In addition to Armstrong, there is also a video of 'The General' Arenas doing a podcast with Matt Barnes.

Arenas shook his head frequently at Barnes and said: "MAN, I am so envious that you once played in Su Yang's team. I thought about joining with a basic salary, but my poor self-esteem prevented me from making a real call. ,Look at Derek's performance last night, he was on the highest stage, against LeBron's defense to complete the lore, I dreamed of having that moment, alas."

Barnes said with a smile: "So, you always praised Su Yang on Twitter in order for him to notice you?"

Arenas lowered his head shyly: "Yeah, it's a pity that he always has a better choice. If I had taken the initiative..."

Seeing Arenas express his affection, Su Yang reposted the podcast video and wrote: "@gilbertarenas, man, the company Kobe and I started together is planning to start a training camp for teenagers, we Need some coaches, if you're interested, call me or Kobe anytime, let's fight for the growth of basketball around the world."

It took only 2 minutes for the tweet to be sent, and Kobe also forwarded the inquiry, but Arenas may be busy and did not reply in time.

Putting down his phone, Su Yang casually ate some claypot rice, then drove to the training base to visit the rookie trial training.

Sam Hinkie, Mike Brown and others have arrived ahead of time, chatted for a while, and learned that this is a key trial for guards.

The main reason is to consider that LaVine will leave and may not be able to exchange for defenders, and Payton Jr.'s outstanding performance against the Thunder in the first round may be the same as Rose. Lots of competition.

"What are the names of these young men?"

Su Yang raised his hand to accept the information from Mike Brown, curious in his heart that all the players on the court knew them all.

"No. 4 Jevon Carter, No. 1 is Bruce Brown, No. 37 is Kostas Antetokounmpo..." Hinkie made a brief introduction, emphasizing that Jevon Carter is a senior player with an average of To 17.3 points, 6.6 assists and 4.4 rebounds.

In words, Hinkie seems to be particularly optimistic about Jevon Carter. After talking about offense, he said Jevon is an expert in individual defense.

"You can focus on investigating..."

Su Yang understands Hinkie's thinking. The two guards in this trial training are both defensive types, but he is not interested in choosing either of them for the time being. Mainly in this era, the role of single defense has been greatly weakened, as strong as Paul is so strong and has little influence.

However, the two people in the key examination room of the second round are also in the right direction. Anyway, there is still a formal draft on the 23rd, and there is plenty of time. You can continue to investigate for a while, and wait until you find out the intention of Payton Jr. and others for the off-season before making a final decision.

As for Costas Antetokounmpo, as the younger brother of Antetokounmpo, he can invite the king to participate in the Summer League depending on the situation, but Su Yang will not directly arrange it. Similar things, Xinji just needs to understand, to avoid any flattery or unhappiness. Fair speech.

Leave the court, enter the office, and replay the second game.

In fact, there is nothing to restore.

Everything is planned.

The Cavaliers double-teamed Curry, while the Kings responded calmly and perfectly implemented the pre-match strategy of using Rose and others to break through. There was indeed an element of luck in winning the game, but the Cavaliers were unable to do so by allowing the entire court to single out. A big lead.

The Cavaliers can't help but not score through singles, don't need to run in a wide range, and don't need to worry about not having the ball.

The key point is that the Cavaliers lost only a little bit in the two games. Most of them would think that as long as they can do better, they can win the game.

"Don't we really want to let Curry get more possessions?" Assistant coach Mike Brown asked in conclusion.

DiBrown and other assistant coaches showed approval when they heard the words. They probably couldn't believe it. Curry only scored 9 points in 7 shots in the second game, and there was no complaint of any kind. Even though they have cooperated with Curry for a long time, they may still feel weird .

Su Yang didn't want to talk about it too much, and jokingly said: "I offered him the largest contract in NBA history. Before the Spurs, he made high shots and low shots in a row. I didn't ask him to adjust his style of play. He must understand my intentions. We don't have to continue. Tangled."

The topic then turned to the preparations for the third game.

No matter whether the Cavaliers make changes or not, the Kings will take the initiative to seek changes. Previously, they reused the breakthroughs of Rose and others. In the third game, they will probably encounter a tightening of the inside line and have the opportunity to shoot more three-pointers. We must encourage Tatum and others to be brave. Shot, after all, home field advantage.

The discussion lasted until five o'clock, Su Yang made a decision, and the trial training ended simultaneously, and Hinkie strongly recommended Jevon Carter.

Early the next morning, the Kings team resumed training.

The famous Divac came to visit, pulled Su Yang and whispered: "I got the news by accident, and it can't prove the truth. It said that the league doesn't want the series to lose suspense so early, and the whistleblowing will be tightened in the following games. Encourage physical confrontation."

Su Yang nodded after listening, and said, "Thank you..."

Divac is not a reliable guy, and he took the initiative to explain that the news is difficult to distinguish between true and false, so there is really no need to pay attention to it.

Of course, there is a theoretical possibility. The league definitely hopes that the game will be full of suspense and increase more attention and ratings.

If whistleblowing is tightened and physical confrontation is encouraged, it will naturally be more beneficial to the Cavaliers. For example, if the Cavaliers run without the ball and the Cavaliers make a covert collision without calling a foul, then the King's tactics will easily fail. Fortunately, Su Yang The tactical options for the design are numerous.

Taking advantage of the training, Su Yang also told the king and generals that the third physical confrontation might be strengthened, so as to prepare early.

In the blink of an eye, after training in the afternoon, the whole team of the Kings had dinner together. When talking about the popular movie "Crossing the Sky: Beauty Trick", Cousins ​​crazily complained about how crazy female boxing is, and the movie about stealing things can also be said to show women's power, which is purely harvested. flow.

"I saw a lot of 'celebrities' showing their faces in it, Kim Kardashian from the reality show, GIGI, the Victoria's Secret supermodel..."

"It's actually a film that objectifies women..."

"One day, female punches will hit NBA players..."

"Leaving aside the movie itself..."

Seeing the king's generals discussing happily, Su Yang felt stable. He reversed the experience of the Spurs and made the whole team sublimated.

The next day, June [-], Game [-] of the Finals between the Kings and Cavaliers was played at the Golden One Center in Sacramento.

The mayor of Saskatchewan suggested that the whole city get off work an hour earlier to witness the king's great journey of four consecutive championships.

ESPN warmed up before the game and discussed Cavaliers tactics again.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "I must emphasize, please fans, please stop criticizing Coach Tyronn Lue. It's not that he doesn't have tactics. His tactics are very good and very suitable for the Cavaliers. They helped the most in winning. The technical characteristics of the Cavaliers' starters determined that they could not do a wide range of running screens like the Kings.

The Cavaliers' offense and defense are not bad, but luck is a little bit better. Now the big score should be a 1-1 tie. "

Mark Jackson said: "I also agree that the Cavaliers are not doing badly on offense and defense. They should persevere. Blind and sudden changes will only increase the risk of their collapse. Instead, they can actively increase the intensity of confrontation and don't let the Kings play too easily. "

At seven o'clock, the game officially started.

The starters of the two teams have not changed.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the king won the jump ball and hit another rip backscreen. Antetokounmpo easily dunked.

The Cavaliers' defensive attention was still not that focused at the beginning, or they mistakenly thought that the Kings would be honest and put on the ground.

The two teams come and go, the main offensive and defensive strategies have not changed compared with before, but the intensity of physical confrontation has increased significantly.

The referee really didn't whistle much, and the Kings were a little uncomfortable, trailing 4-15 in more than three minutes.

Su Yang resisted the impulse and instructed the whole team to play slowly, but the Cavaliers suddenly took advantage of free throws and chose to take Anthony and Butler down, replacing Korver and JR Smith in advance, and letting LeBron take the lead. Starting power forward, take the initiative to change.

"Let Anthony and Butler start fake starts?"

Su Yang immediately discussed with Mike Brown and others. He had thought of such a possibility before. After all, it would help the Cavaliers to better make room, rationally allocate and maximize the role of LeBron, and would also allow Anthony and Barrett to participate less. One dozen four look'.

"Coach Tyronn Lue is really good, but it is definitely risky to use such a big change suddenly..."

The Cavaliers have changed their rotation throughout the season. Butler and Anthony have a general impact, but Korver and JR will have a great impact.

After free throws the game continues.

As Su Yang predicted, the space of the Cavaliers became visible to the naked eye. LeBron scored consecutive breakthroughs and assisted, and singled out Antetokounmpo for a dunk, but the Cavaliers' defense also weakened visibly. Without Butler, Bro Gordon scored three points in a row.

Fighting and fighting, the king gradually narrowed the gap.

At the end of the first quarter, they were only 1 point behind.

During the pause between quarters, Mark Jackson crazily complained: "Hey, the Cavaliers have lost confidence in the face of the king's pressure. They have clearly found a way to win and achieved an 11-point lead, but because of a major adjustment, they lost the lead with their own hands..."

The second quarter started immediately.

On the Cavaliers' side, Butler and Anthony led the team and played a 5-0 attack wave, but then it was just like that. The King boldly double-teamed or zoned the two, allowing Calderon, Wade and others to hold the ball, and the scoring efficiency Plunge, rush LeBron.

After halftime, the Kings trailed by 6 points.

Back in the locker room, Su Yang originally wanted to speak to boost morale, but the whole team didn't panic, so they didn't bother to say more.

The main reason for falling behind is that many tactics did not come out. After the confrontation intensity increased, simple screens were not very easy to use. Su Yang turned to take the initiative to do less simple screens that are easy to observe movements in the second half, and use more double screens or echelon screens. .

STS and RAM routines should be used more in combination with early disassembly, ghost cover, and reject rejection cover.

High-intensity confrontation must also have a goal.

The game started in the third quarter, and the Kings used various complex screens, greatly improving their offensive efficiency.

On the Cavaliers' side, Tyronn Lue continued to arrange for Butler and Anthony to play fake starts. The Kings took the opportunity to play an 11-6 attack wave, and then played a 6-0 attack wave. They won 8 points in a single quarter and overtook the Cavaliers by 2 points to enter the fourth quarter. Start the decisive battle in advance.

Curry, as the object of being crazy double-teamed, was also a bit annoying, but fortunately, after two wave shots, he stopped in time.

Su Yang temporarily instructed to tighten the inside line, allowing the Cavaliers to take more mid-range and long-range shots under great pressure and lack of physical strength, which successfully lowered the Cavaliers' shooting percentage. However, the Cavaliers made a lot of free throws until Curry and Antetokounmpo hit back. three-pointer.

With Irving's three-pointer, the Cavaliers completely lost hope, and the Kings finally won the game 114 to 109.

The final score was 3 to 0, and the Cavaliers were almost sentenced to death.
But Butler called the Cavaliers team together in the player channel, emphasizing that the game is not over yet and we must continue to work hard.

The major social platforms also sparked heated discussions: The Cavaliers did get a way to win, but unfortunately they were wasted by themselves. Of course, the King’s gambling strategy played a key role in the final stage. It can only be said that the Cavaliers still have hope, maybe it is the darkness before dawn .

Su Yang reviewed the game after the game and checked the statistics. He found that Curry made 11 of 3 shots and only scored 11 points. The double-teaming here paid a huge price, and basically locked the FMVP.

After the game, I participated in the press conference and talked about how Antetokounmpo is very likely to win the first FMVP of his career.

Su Yang jokingly replied: "I'm not very happy, because then our team will have two FMVPs who are at their peak at the same time. When the contract is renewed next time, I have to offer them the same contract of 5000 million + dollars. That might affect our roster. Of course, I can always sign a player like Rose who can far exceed his salary..."

　Today is two in one...
