In the whole game, the Kings scored in double digits, Curry scored a maximum of 28 points, and Jokic gave 8 assists.

On the Warriors, Durant scored 33 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. It was a pity that Clay made 12 of 21 shots, but because of the Kings' defensive strategy, Durant and Clay had many mid-range shots, with few three-pointers and free throws, which was quite different from the preseason data.

At the post-match press conference, the reporter asked Cole why he led 10 points twice in the first quarter and the third time, but kept allowing the Kings to narrow the gap in the gap. Is it because Iguodala's ability to score independently is too poor, and leading the substitute lineup is worse than starting.

Cole left the topic directly: "I want to congratulate the Kings on winning the game, and I miss Bogut's performance, and tonight's offense and defense were a good attempt for us. Although the results were not perfect, we have found a favorable direction to move forward..."

News reports were released, and many fans praised Cole's remarks.

Bill Simmons tweeted: "Just as I predicted before the game, the Kings cannot solve their inside defense problem. I know that the Kings have won the ball and defeated the strong teams, but it is a fact that they gave up using two insides at the end. The plan to deal with the Kings is already very obvious. Unlimited defense replacements are aimed at the inside, and all teams in the league can learn and use it..."

Su Yang was also asked at a press conference: Why did he give up using Cousins ​​Jokic in the last two minutes? Is he going to continue to give up using a traditional center player like Cousins ​​at critical moments in the future, just like last season's playoffs.

Su Yang calmly replied: "I must emphasize that Jokic sent 8 assists and Cousins ​​grabbed 12 rebounds. Without the contribution of both of them, we cannot win the game. The same is true for other players. I know you want to hear someone who is not good and who is good. But the real situation of the game is that, but we need to speed up in the end.

For the last time we defended, we chose to replace Curry and Lavine. Could it be that they were not good either? It was just division of labor!

It’s like eating cakes. When you eat it the tenth fastest, you feel full, but you can’t eat it the tenth fastest. You need to eat the first nine pieces first.”

The reason is explained very clearly.

However, as the news reports were released, many fans still discussed the Kings' inside defense and mentioned who should be traded.

On the same night, the Cavaliers defeated the Bulls 107 to 101.

Su Yang glanced at the data of the two teams and found that Irving did not play. The Cavaliers' starting point guard was Mo Williams, who was a bit like the 09th version of the Cavaliers, but he could win at all, mainly Cavaliers center Mozgov, who only played 21 minutes in the game.

Cavaliers head coach Blatt has implemented a small lineup style well, freeing up space in the interior, and helping LeBron perform efficiently. In addition, the Cavaliers have made a total of 30 three-pointers, and the Bulls have only made 19 three-pointers, and the Cavaliers have doubled the Bulls.

The related news reports are also very special.

O'Neal in the video said with a heartache: "I must admit, you must admit that judging from the results of the two seasons tonight, the era of small lineups has arrived completely. We lack big players who are good at low-post offenses. There are also some low-post offensive experts in the league, such as Zach Randolph, but his offensive efficiency last season was better than throwing three-pointers casually."

Barklison added: "The third game of the opening game tonight was in the first game. The Pistons beat the Hawks by 12 points. The Pistons made 29 three-pointers and 12 hits. The Hawks made 27 three-pointers and 8 hits, and they lost in three-pointers.

In addition, there is a set of data showing that in the 98-99 season, all games in the league averaged 89 rounds, and three-pointers accounted for 17% of the total shooting. Last season, all games in the league averaged 100 rounds, and three-pointers accounted for 36% of the total shooting. Perhaps as Shaq said, we have ushered in the era of small lineups, please cherish the big players."

Smith smiled and said, "All this is thanks to Su Yang. When he coached the Thunder, he first set up a five-square-square lineup for Ibaka to play center forward, defeating the Celtics with strong inside defense, and then arranged Green, who was less than two meters tall, as the center forward and won the championship with the Lakers. The key is that the Kings gave up using Cousins ​​and played an invincible record of 16-0 in the playoffs, which is enough to say everything."

Su Yang was helpless about the tnt trio evaluation.

The five small lineups are arranged mainly because the firepower covers enough.

After all, there were no players who could kill inside players like O'Neal or even Howard at the peak. Garnett was too old, Perkins lacked independent attacks, Bosh was a space power forward, and Haslem had no offensive threats.

In addition, the league encourages offense to weaken defense, and centers like Hibert must be restricted, and the benefits of reusing centers are low.

In short, the small ball trend is reasonably promoted by the times and the league.

Su Yang believed that he was just following the trend.

Why didn’t there be a small ball trend in the 1990s?

Because there are four centers, the league has not weakened the defensive players, and there are manual tests and three-second zone regulations, so there is no chance to play small balls.

The next day, the league held 14 games.

Espn data expert Hollinger took advantage of the popularity of the small ball era and counted all 14 games related data, and wrote on a tweet: "Although there was only one game and the reference sample was small, 26 teams lost three-point shots more than the average three-point shots last season. The Pacers and Grizzlies did not surpass the Pacers and Grizzlies. The two teams ranked at the end of the league for many seasons. It can be said that the trend has been formed and the small ball era has officially arrived."

More than 10,000 fans liked and retweeted Hollinger.

Various comments followed.

"Su Yang and Xiao Hua joined forces to destroy the league, and they all made three-pointers in the future, and they would never see those artistic mid-range attacks."

"This is an era when soft-boys are king! I don't blame Su Yang and the Alliance. This is an inevitable result of the high development of human society. Human beings always try to cover up and abandon their own animal nature. They like to advocate love and peace. If a little bit of high-intensity confrontation occurs, they will be considered barbarians. Some people even shout that those defense methods are killing people. I feel sad about the direction of the entire human society."

"Compared to blaming Su Yang and the League, I would rather criticize the general managers of the league who believe in big data analysis, such as Morey and Prichard. What other data software companies that advocate shooting three-pointers and giving up CNP are the driving forces that secretly promote the small ball era. Let's see the results of this year's draft. Although many rookies call themselves centers or power forwards, they are much shorter..."

Assistant Teacher Mike Brown took screenshots of comments with many likes, and posted them in the King’s chat group, and everyone started making jokes.

Su Yang was speechless.

What's even more speechless is that espn specially launched a roundtable to discuss the prevalence of small balls and what impact will it have on the league's future.

On the 30th, the Kings face the Lakers at home.

The Lakers or Byron? Scott coached, he had to attack but no offense, and had to defend but no defense. Kobe, one old and three new, allowed Russell, Randall and Clarkson to take action more, but he didn't take much, but the Kings were not polite, 40 to 24 in the first quarter.

When the third quarter was over, the Kings led 103 to 82.

Su Yang originally wanted to ask Curry if he planned to stake MVP, but Curry put on his coat early and was not ready to continue to appear.

Since that was the case, the Kings played the full substitute lineup in the fourth quarter, allowing Covington, Turner and Bazemore to play in three players who needed a big contract in the summer. In the end, they defeated the Lakers 132-114. A total of 12 players in the team played, and 8 players scored in double digits.

After a night off, the Kings flew to Los Angeles and challenged the Clippers, who also won two consecutive victories, without any physical pressure.

Rivers allowed the offseason trade to get the start of Lance Stephenson, which was placed in the small forward position, but in fact it was a three-back.

Seeing such an arrangement, Su Yang commanded Antetokounmpo on the spot to lead the attack, and Antetokounmpo went all out to beat Stephenson and heeled the evil offender, helping the Kings lead the Clippers 31-24 in the first quarter, and then led the substitute to rush hard in the second quarter, running and crying Pierce.

After the half-time game, the Kings led the Clippers 66 to 48, which made Ballmer confused in the audience.

The Clippers chased forward in the second half, but the forward line was too weak. Paul frequently punished Cousins ​​and Jokic through pick-and-roll, but it could not make up for it. Griffin's high-level change of hands and directional attacks, although they could bully Cousins ​​and move slowly, there was no substantial change.

In the whole game, the Kings beat the Clippers 114 to 101.

The team scored seven players in double digits, but Cousins ​​was embarrassed, with 10 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, and 5 made 3 turnovers.

Jokic scored 13 points and 8 assists, 1 turnover and 1 foul, 6 of 10 shots, and 0 free throws, with very high efficiency.

Various discussions followed.

Some fans believe that the Kings should trade Cousins ​​and replace a high-mobile power forward who can effectively limit pick-and-roll and cover. The Pelicans' Davis is a good deal, and the Pacers' Miles Turner is also good and should take the initiative.
