Chapter 770
One day off NO.12, the Kings team resumed joint training, and Su Yang took the coaching staff and scouting team to a meeting to discuss.
Scouting director Blatche first gave an overview, and finally concluded: "The Los Angeles Clippers were able to reach the playoffs in the Western Conference at the beginning of the season when they were considered to be able to win only 35 games, mainly relying on their passionate defense. and mad attack..."
Su Yang nodded frequently in response.
The scouting report shows that the Clippers' main players in the backcourt are Shay, Lu Wei, and Shamet, and the main players in the interior are Zubac and Harrell. Foley is known for his defense and lacks defensive resources.
And strictly speaking, although Beverly's defensive level is not as bad as Westbrook said, "he just ran around and didn't defend anyone at all", it is indeed not at the best defensive level. The main referee is more caring. , Little moves are rarely whistled.
The Clippers' poor defense caused them to average 114.3 points per game, ranking sixth in the league, but the Clippers averaged 35.8 defensive rebounds per game, ranking eighth in the league, and their scoring average reached 115.1, ranking fifth in the league. The number of three-point shots taken is the third from the bottom, but the shooting percentage is the second to the bottom. Everything is enough to show that they are a team with strong offense and weak defense and strict discipline.
"This is typical Rivers coaching style..."
Su Yangxin sighed, "Youth is passionate, and the veteran supports the situation. Many years ago, he almost led the team to the playoffs in the Magic. This time he finally succeeded. I support him to win the nomination of the best head coach. It is not easy. , so inspiring!"
Mike Brown and others agreed.
"But sorry, we have to win this series..."
Su Yang continued: "Judging from the experience of playing against each other in the regular season, the most efficient way for the Clippers to score on the offensive end is the high pick-and-roll. They have the best sixth-man level players like Harrell and Lewis who are good at pick-and-roll. Teams with poor defensive communication or insufficient defensive rotation will be very lethal, and we need to remind the players to pay attention..."
The Clippers are really not good, especially against the Kings level, as long as the referee doesn't make trouble, they can lose at most 1 game.
During the conversation, the main offensive and defensive strategy was determined, and the corresponding training was carried out accordingly. The Kings have many ways to defend against pick-and-rolls.
At the same time as the training, various regular season statistics were released.
Harden averaged 36.1 points per game and won the scoring title. With the MVP bonus, in the eyes of some fans, his historical status completely surpassed Wade and West, and won the title of third shooting guard. Unfortunately, the Rockets' record is too poor and there is no hope of competing for MVP.
Zhuang Shen averaged 15.6 defending rebounds per game, but his defensive WS was only 3.3, and his defensive efficiency was 1012, which is quite average.
After Westbrook changed teams, he also won the assists leader, and averaged 0.4 more times per game to 10.7 times, but his level dropped across the board.
Myers Turner averaged 2.7 times per game to become the block leader, and fans paid for it. Back then, Big Ben, Howard, and Camby's generation of block leaders all averaged 3+ times per game, plus Gobert and AD 2.6 times in the past two years Getting the block king means that the center's frame protection effect is getting worse and worse. The three-second zone is gone, and there is an extra vertical jumping principle. In addition, chicken feather fouls make it too difficult to block shots.
The steals king was taken away by Paul George, and the fans lamented that when the King had George, he was too damn strong.
ESPN’s predictions for the first round of the playoffs were also released. When 21 experts talked about the Kings and the Clippers, they overwhelmingly supported the Kings’ 4-0 sweep. 4 will do.
Rivers was interviewed by ESPN Connect, talked about being underestimated, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, you predicted that we would only win 35 wins, but after the end of the season, we won 48 wins. Almost all of you this time thought that we would be swept away. Time to speak!"
When the news came out, the fans lamented: Rivers, who likes chicken soup so much, doesn't have any courage to face the king.
NO.13 in a blink of an eye, the first game of the first round of the playoffs between the Kings and the Clippers was held at the Golden One Center in Sacramento.
[-] spectators came to watch the game, all wearing Su Yang's "Towards the Best with the King" series of T-shirts to show their support, and many domestic Internet celebrities specially bought [-] US dollars for VIP seats on the sidelines, just to attract attention. A wave of fans paid attention.
The Kings started, Curry, Dunloe, Tatum, Antetokounmpo, Cousins.
The Clippers started, Beverly, Shay, Shamet, Gallinari, Zubac.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the Clippers won the jump ball, and after the first attack pick and roll, they rushed down to the basket. Butz, easily turned around and dunked in three steps.
After several rounds of fighting, the Clippers found that the efficiency of the pick-and-roll was too low, and instead let Gallinari take the ball more single-handedly. Let Antetokounmpo get two fouls.
Su Yang calmly replaced Antetokounmpo, and then replaced Covington. Gallinari soon lived in Bengbu and returned to ordinary life.
After the first quarter, the Kings led the Clippers 36 to 27 by rushing inside. 13 assists made the scene extremely smooth.
Taking advantage of the timeout between quarters, Su Yang told the upcoming Bridges, Brogdon and Sabonis, "When defending Louis and Harrell's pick-and-roll, don't hesitate, either directly double-team or direct DC, don't Give it a chance..."
The three of Bridges nodded to express their understanding, and then went on the field to fight. The two guards who were closer to each other defended, which prevented the Clippers' RAM and other cover routines from being effective, and Sabonis' double-teaming was quite a priority. McGee's defense is even more active.
Lu Wei is so tall, there is no good way to face double-teams, he can either pull the ball back to avoid reorganization, or pass it to other Clippers players, but no matter how he handles it, he can’t score as usual, and Harley is also affected. , The Clippers' offensive efficiency plummeted.
When it was the king's turn to attack, Brogdon caught Lu Wei again and called out the tactics directly, consuming Lu Wei to death.
After halftime, the Kings still lead 3 to 73 after Antetokounmpo got 56 fouls.
Back in the locker room after a break, Su Yang briefly summarized the analysis, and then said: "I guess at this time, in the Clippers locker room, Coach Rivers is using a speech to encourage the Clippers, telling the Celtics 08 in 24. The story of a big comeback, about how they were underestimated in the past season, but made the playoffs successfully, let's not be another case in his mouth.
When the third quarter starts, we must maintain active communication and rotation on the defensive end, and don't give them hope.
The offensive end must continue to target their weaknesses, dislocating Lewis and Zubac to make them lose their fighting spirit. "
A few people in Curry agreed, and the whole team formed a circle, shoulder to shoulder, hands and fists, and shouted 123 in unison.
Back on the court, the third quarter started.
As Su Yang expected, the Clippers players seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and their defense was super fierce. When Beverly was chasing directly at the baseline, the referee didn't pay attention, and Curry's clothes slowed down, but Curry was just a bait , Dun Luo is responsible for the shot.
Su Yang let Curry act as a target to efficiently divert the Clippers' defensive momentum. The key point is that the Clippers can't ignore Curry.
With only 5 points in 6 minutes and 15 points for the Kings, the Clippers gradually lost their fighting spirit.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, it became garbage time, and the Kings finally beat the Clippers 124 to 104.
Because of the Clippers' weak perimeter defense, Curry made 12 of 8 three-pointers and scored 38 points, 7 assists and 15 rebounds. Antetokounmpo scored 23 points and Cousins scored 20 points. The only comparison Embarrassment is 21 turnovers.
However, several of those mistakes were caused by the Clippers' fouls and did not whistle, not the King's own problems, so there is no need to worry.
After the game, get a day off.
Su Yang took the time to watch the Spurs game and found that the Spurs beat the Rockets by 28 points. Paul and Leonard teamed up to steal Harden three times. Paul and Rondo almost got into a fight. Even Duncan, who was always peaceful, was booing on the sidelines. Want to do something.
In the east, the Cavaliers, Green Kai, and 76ers won all three teams. The Raptors and Pacers are inseparable.
NO.15 the next day, the Kings will fight the Clippers again.
Curry scored 22 points in the half, helping the Kings lead the Clippers 73 to 50, while Su Yang ordered a wave in the half, and the Kings did not give the Clippers any chance to counterattack in the third quarter, and finally defeated the Clippers 135 to 107. Oita leads the series 2-0.
Participating in the press conference after the game, talking about his feelings, Su Yang said with a smile: "My experience is never to underestimate the team led by Coach Rivers..." After all, Rivers coaches, good at turning the tables, and also good at being turned. It's hard to guess what he's doing.
According to the schedule, the Kings got three days to rest, and the whole team flew to Los Angeles in advance to prepare for the game and cheer for the Lakers.
Su Yang and the team members all hope that the Lakers can beat the Jazz, so that they don't have to fly to Salt Lake City in the second round.
However, the news that the whole team watched the game in the hotel and supported the Lakers came out. Many fans believed that the Kings were afraid of playing against the Jazz in the second round, because judging from the regular season matches, the Kings lost to the Jazz twice. troubled.
