Seeing the fans discussing the deal with George, Su Yang was on a whim and called Hinki to go to the Pacers to inquire.

In fact, George's performance is OK, but he often plays one game after another, which gives fans a feeling of being unstable, and also makes the 41.2% shooting rate on the statistics table look a bit eye-catching. Even if he averages 23.1 points per game, he ranks in the top ten.

George's dilemma is similar to Iverson after reaching the finals.

The Eastern Conference Finals have greatly increased expectations for Pacers fans for two consecutive years. As a result, the Pacers management has done a lot of money to renew Stephenson without spending money, trade to send Hibert away, and did not introduce powerful players, which has obviously been unable to achieve the same record as before. In addition, George often encountered defense like Iverson. In turn, George himself was under great pressure to defend, so he was both gods and ghosts.

Hinki called back soon: The Pacers were determined and would not send George away unless they could be exchanged for Durant.

Su Yang had no choice but to put away his thoughts, and continued to wait while observing other possible opportunities, and also prepared to not trade.

The Kings' team flew back to Sa City to rest for a day. Twenty-seven will fight against the Timberwolves after the major blood change, and Cousins ​​officially returns.

Su Yang arranged the media center in advance to prepare a tribute video for Guy, and then personally presented Guy with the championship ring and gave a brief speech, thanking Guy for his contribution to the Kings in two seasons. Cousins, Curry and others also participated.

The game starts at half past eight.

The Timberwolves won the jump ball and handed it to Towns for the first time. As a result, facing his Kentucky senior Cousins, he had no use to rush the ball at a low post. Garnett was so angry that he took the ball and did it himself. Unfortunately, Antetokounmpo was beaten to the big hat and cheered on the spot.

The Kings' lineup is crushing, and the point guard is still obviously ready to play short-term work for only one year, and the point guard is Kevin Martin, a veteran who has declined in form. The Timberwolves' scoring efficiency is very low, and they don't even have much control and are leading by up to 21 points in the first half.

When he came back in the second half, the Timberwolves didn't struggle at all, and they played badly inertially. Due to the loss culture, it didn't matter to all the players.

Even the iron-blooded Ruth and Garnett didn't force the fight.

With the defensive intensity reduced, Jokic was in a hurry and began various shows, making No. 1 center Towns seem worthless.

After the game, the Kings won 111-91.

Jokic scored 18 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds, and his score was on par with Towns, with excellent efficiency and other data.

Many fans took advantage of the situation to add Towns to the discussion category of one of the most top picks in the new era, and argued whether it was the Timberwolves environment that led to Towns' performance being stretched, or Towns was so soft, just like Kevin Love, the star of the Timberwolves, who finally came to the mainstream conclusion: Any center who likes to shoot three-pointers is relatively soft, which has nothing to do with honor or data, and personality determines style.

After a night off, the team flew to Oakland to challenge the Warriors back to back. Green had a quarrel with Cousins ​​at the beginning.

Green directly killed someone and whispered to Cousins, saying that Su Yang would definitely trade Cousins ​​because Cousins' contract and role were even worse than Antetokounmpo and Curry, while Jokic was still a rookie contract and could be used at a low price for many years. The key is that Jokic could perfectly replace Cousins, with three-pointers better than Cousins, and passing the ball faster and more accurate than Cousins...

After a few rounds, Cousins' mentality exploded, and he made random attacks on the offensive end, wasting the King's tactical running position.

Su Yang didn't notice at first, but when he realized that the king was 9 points behind the Warriors, so he could only request a timeout adjustment.

Cousins ​​took the initiative to admit his mistake and apologize.

Su Yang didn't continue to struggle either.

The game started again, and the Kings recovered their form. Finally, at the end of the first quarter, with Thomas Jr., he chased the Warriors only 1 point behind the Warriors. However, Durant got a chance to rest and relax. After the second quarter started, he appeared in advance to match Green.

Su Yang is determined to match the two starting lineups.

However, Cousins ​​just returned from injury, and the team doctor stipulated that he should not play too much, so it was not appropriate to force Curry to play. He simply took a lucky look and only let Thomas, Turner and Covington lead the team. As a result, Green joined forces with Durant, and scored 9-0.

When Curry's three starters returned to the game, Cole frantically targeted Curry, giving other Kings players a ease of mobile phones. Laven withstood the pressure, Antetokounmpo's shooting feel average, and Cousins ​​was made difficult for Lin to get the ball and fell into a tough pursuit.

After the whole game, the Kings lost to the Warriors 114-119, Curry only scored 19 points, which was mainly difficult to score. Most of the time, he was double-teamed after halftime. In addition, Durant's death came, played for 43 minutes, scoring 48 points, making one wrong step.

Jokic has outstanding data, with 13 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds, but after the game he said bluntly that it would be better to exchange for victory than a triple-double.

Su Yang attended the press conference and talked about the reasons for losing, asked if it was related to Green's trash words, and took the initiative to take responsibility and answered: "I did not make a rotation arrangement, which led to insufficient response in the early stage of the second quarter. I don't think Green's words have any impact..."

Anyway, it's not to mention Cousins' out of control.

It is not just to protect Cousins' face, but to show his weaknesses to his opponent. After all, Green is learning and selling now, and has already steals his skills from the Spurs. His words are aimed at Cousins. If he lets go, he will easily become a Rondo-the opponent will be able to put it three meters away.

On the last day of November, the Kings played against the offseason who snatched Matthews' Mavericks at home, and won 112-98.

The main winner was in the substitute match. The Mavericks started Nowitzki, Pachuria, Parsons, Matthews, Deron, and the five-player combination could still compete with the Kings in front of the Kings, but the two substitute points Harris and Felton were defeated by Turner and Covington.

The key point is that Thomas Jr. broke through with the help of screening, and the Mavericks substituted the inside, Villanueva and McGee, Bai.

Monthly summary of the team after the game.

In October and November, the Kings played a total of 19 games, with a record of 16 wins and 3 losses, tied for first place with the Warriors.

The Spurs are ranked behind the Kings and the Warriors and only lose one more game. The situation in the West is still complicated, and it is important to strive for the first place.

Su Yang praised Cousins ​​for his outstanding performance in several consecutive games before being injured, and also praised Jokic for his stable performance. He also mentioned LaVine's progress in holding the ball, and Antetokounmpo seemed to be confused. If he needed help, he must tell him.

Antetokounmpo replied: "There are indeed some shooting problems that I am solving with the trainer. Currently, through software analysis, the main reason is that the shooting arc cannot be maintained stable. I will actively train and correct them, and I will soon be able to punish in the open space."

Antetokounmpo was a little embarrassed in words.

It seems that using data analysis software is quite embarrassing.

Su Yang encouraged: "The team spent millions of dollars a year to purchase data analysis-related software licenses, which can help you from different perspectives. You can try it more and don't go the same way. Technology is a powerful productivity."

After the summary meeting, another meeting was held within the coaching team.

Mike Brown mentioned the decline in data per game by Antetokounmpo and Curry. Curry was mainly because he voluntarily gave up many ball rights and was also taken care of by many teams. Antetokounmpo's tactical status has decreased, and the proportion of Jokic and Lavine has increased.

Su Yang was speechless for a moment.

At the beginning of the season, I thought of Antetokounmpo's tactical status declined because Antetokounmpo's holdings have not yet been completely formed and his shooting has not evolved to a normal level. Scoring mainly depends on offense and defense conversion. After Green left this season, Antetokounmpo's rapid drop frequency also decreased.

Fortunately, Antetokounmpo did not make trouble and asked for more ball rights. Even if he faced an early contract renewal, he was not anxious. He was very conscious of the general idea.

But the problem must be solved.

Routine and automation are basically possible.

Su Yang decided to spend more effort and personally practice fine-tuning in every game, trying to make Antetokounmpo and the whole team happy.

Anyway, prevent problems before they happen.

It just happened to be a fight against the weak team Celtics, so I used it to do the experiment first.
