When he woke up at noon, Su Yang drove five kilometers to the newly opened Chinese restaurant, "Four Seasons Fragrance" for dinner. He ordered two large portions of spicy crabs, which was considered a pleasure. Then he rushed to the Moda Center and met Paul Allen according to the invitation and chatted casually.

Compared with the previous game, the Trail Blazers in the new season has significantly reduced their combat effectiveness. The biggest problem is that they do not have awesome forward players. They can attack with two guns in the backcourt, but the defense is too poor. The two insiders are also bulky, and they are not good at both offense and defense.

The Trail Blazers management led by O'Shea Neal hopes that head coach Stotts can improve the team's defense, but Su Yang knows very well that there is no way to improve. Neither McCollum nor Lillard can defend, and it is lucky to be able to play the second round of the playoffs.

Paul Allen is willing to spend money. The Trail Blazers are the top team in the league's salary for many seasons. They have taken the initiative to sign free agents and renewed their own players. They have never stingy. Unlike Suns Savor, the No. 1 pick and center are unwilling to be the maximum salary.

The Trail Blazers are typical teams. Regardless of whether they are worth it or not, they will first renew their contract with a maximum salary. On the one hand, it is indeed difficult to attract free agents, and on the other hand, it is indeed too hasty. However, the Trail Blazers' determination to win the championship is not that strong, and the boss's personality determines.

Paul Allen is too interested in it. In addition to being the owner of the NBA team, he also has a private research team to find salvage shipwrecks.

Anyway, you are rich and willful.

After the chat, Su Yang rushed to the stadium, found Zhou Qi, and encouraged him: "In the evening game, I will arrange for you to play in the middle of the first quarter. You can play whatever you think. You don't have to worry about making mistakes. Are you ready?"

"It's ready!"

Su Yang nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. The reason for encouraging him first was that he was worried that Zhou Qi was under too much pressure, but the outcome of the game had little to do with him. It was mainly to test the success of the training. The period of the effort was next season, and this season was at most familiar with the rhythm of the game.

On the training team of Phil Handy, the main task for Zhou Qi is to improve his confrontation ability, start from the aspects of muscle building, core building, etc. Otherwise, if he is so thin, he will not be able to adapt to NBA-level confrontation, and any style of playing will be useless.

At 7:00 p.m., the game started.

The Trail Blazers starter, Lillard, McCollum, Harchris, Mason Plumley, Mayes Leonard.

Su Yang was drunk with that lineup.

I don’t know what the general manager of the Trail Blazers is thinking. He can make up such a strange lineup, not only the backcourt defense is weak, but the franchise protection is also bad, and the China-distance assisted defense is in vain. No wonder he can score averaging 114 points, and the Suns lose more points, the league is the first.

In just five minutes, Su Yang arranged for Cousins ​​to come off the court and let Zhou Qi appear. The two teams had a uniform score, mainly fighting back to back, intentionally reducing the intensity of the defense. In the fight against the enemy, the Trail Blazers are really good at double-gun in the backcourt.

In the first tactic, Curry smiled and signaled to pick-and-roll in one high and four low. Zhou Qi then stepped forward and cooperated with the wall to block Lillard. Curry turned to break through and rushed to the paint area. Facing Leonard who was squatting, he pretended to jump and threw the ball and hit the board, but in fact he threw the ball and assisted.

Zhou Qi, who was in a synchronous manner, took off the ball and jumped against Plumley, who was making up for defense. He was obviously a little panicked, but he still dunked the ball, but his body was obviously at a loss for the confrontation. He almost fell down because he fell down, looking like he was being hated on the verge of the face.

Seeing this, Su Yang stood up and applauded. Cousins ​​and others were sitting on the bench and cheered. The whole team seemed to be watching a performance.

After three rounds, the Trail Blazers attacked again. Lillard used the cover to break through and rushed to the basket. He glanced at Zhou Qi who was moving over to make up for defense. He jumped without hesitation. His arrogance was not at all taken seriously by Zhou Qi, and then a super big hat appeared.

The basketball flew backwards under force, Curry turned around and launched a fast break when he saw the rebound. The Kings fought four against three in the frontcourt, but encountered a contraction and siege.

Curry immediately dribbled the ball and circled around the bottom line. Seeing that Zhou Qi was chasing to the top of the arc, he immediately raised his hand to pass the ball without looking at him.

With the booing of the whole field, the basketball roared to the top of the arc. Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment when he received the ball, but Leonard was not on guard against him.

"Send it!"

Su Yang led the bench generals to shout for support, and the basketball then took off to glide, and entered the net with a hollow sound.

He hit a three-pointer with a counter-attack. If he played the MC mode, Zhou Qi's personal performance score would definitely rise.

Trail Blazers head coach Stotts requested a timeout adjustment, and Su Yang speculated that he would start targeting Zhou Qi and arrange responses in advance.

The game continued immediately.

As expected, the Trail Blazers intend to pass the ball to the inside, clearly wanting to attack Zhou Qi and bully him against him in a weak position.

However, according to Su Yang's arrangement, Antetokounmpo changed defense in advance and used double-teams to make Leonard useless. When the Trail Blazers tried to find Zhou Qi again, Antetokounmpo had completed the defense again. In short, the Trail Blazers did not give the Trail Blazers the chance to try to bully Zhou Qi easily.

Lillard tried to misalign the pick-and-roll military training, and the result was the same. The tactics were always too obvious, and Antetokounmpo could always switch defenses in advance.

As the game went on, assistant coach Mike Brown asked worriedly: "Are you not afraid of being questioned about overprotecting Zhou Qi?"

Su Yang shrugged and curled his lips: "It doesn't matter if you question it, it's about protecting it, and it also provides Giannis with more opportunities to perform. He wants to compete for the best defensive player or the best lineup this season, which will make him pay attention to commentators and reporters..."

"It sounds amazing. One strategy solves two problems..." Mike Brown's face was shocked, and he didn't seem to understand.

The game quickly reached the second quarter and the main players reappeared. Su Yang took Zhou Qi down to rest according to the rotation, and said with a tablet: "It performed very well, with 7 points, 2 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 assist. The confrontation was a little bit of a loss. Let's continue to work hard..."

Zhou Qi nodded calmly, not too excited.

Su Yang did not forcefully ask for excitement due to pressure. The scout report had already summarized it, and Zhou Qi was very calm.

As for the confrontation issue, take it slowly and you won’t be a fat man in one go. Just rotate normally in three seasons.

After returning to the locker room after the half-time game, Su Yang praised Antetokounmpo's performance on the defensive end and said: "Giannis supports our entire defensive system, just like Garnett at his peak, and has also made great contributions in offense. Our coaching staff has decided to help him reach the best team this season, and I hope everyone can cheer him up and help him achieve his goals..."

Curry took the lead in shouting for support, George and others raised their hands to signal, and Antetokounmpo led the King's team to fist.

The second half of the game started.

Antetokounmpo directly pulled the attack and defense ends, and even had to face Lillard offense and twice at the three-point line, allowing Lillard to hit the iron twice in a row, and also ran to McCollum to chase the hats. In one game, five NBA best shots videos of the same day were edited.

After the third quarter, Curry scored 28 points and saw the Kings leading by 19 points, he clocked in and got off work with satisfaction.

There is no way, the Trail Blazers can still score in the first quarter, but when the Kings' defense tightens, their offensive efficiency will drop significantly.

Su Yang arranged Zhou Qi to appear again, but did not let Antetokounmpo continue to switch defense in advance. Zhou Qi quickly made two mistakes, one did not actively block the position in the defense, resulting in losing the defensive rebound, and one passed the ball casually and out of the sideline.

Those two mistakes did not destroy the situation.

Su Yang still took Zhou Qi down, which was a silent explanation: those who should be taken care of would be taken care of, but if you want to fight, you have to rely on yourself.

After the whole game, the Kings won 122 to 106.

Antetokounmpo scored the highest 36 points in the two teams, with 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals, with an extremely high efficiency value.

Fans have discussed the possibility of being selected as the All-Star starter and best team, but it is quite difficult to defeat players such as LeBron, Durant, Leonard, Draymond Green, and Butler and George, and more representative games are needed.

After the coaching team reviewed the discussion after the game, it was found that Evan Turner, whom the Trail Blazers snatched away 70 million in four years, was not reused by coach Stotts. He had less time and ball rights than the Kings. In theory, only Turner could play in the second team of the Trail Blazers.

It is probably General Manager O'Shea Neal. The team-building philosophy is different from that of head coach Stotts. Ed Davis, who had been snatched at high prices, was not reused. Instead, he used the Plum Leonard combination, which had poor mobility and was a bit weird.

The whole team flew back to Sa City and rested for three days to resume training. However, Su Yang received a text message from George saying that he would take a leave of absence for half a day.

I usually agree, but this time I noticed that tmz revealed that George held an indoor swimsuit party for two days and one night in Los Angeles.

Click on the link to view the video. It was past three o'clock in the morning, and George and others were still playing music and dancing.
