The All-Star Weekend passed by in a blink of an eye.

Except for Westbrook's consecutive three-pointers in the main game, and the Kings' four-man team played at the same time, which caused all the fans to boo, Su Yang had no memories of other things, and the All-Star weekend was inevitably becoming very boring.

The main reason is that there is a lack of confrontation and it is difficult to come up with novelty in the dunk contest. As for other three-point contests and skills challenge contests, even if the rules are tried to modify them many times, they still cannot maintain the ratings. Most fans only watch the results and are too lazy to watch the live broadcast.

The alliance has been trying to maintain and expand its influence, but there are some problems with the method. Su Yang took advantage of the opportunity of many board members gathering and suggested vigorously developing in the direction of new media, release the copyright, and not hold it tightly, so that more young people and personal media can join the surrounding creations, and replace many promotional work. The alliance only needs to concentrate on improving the viewing experience.

Xiao Hua and others replied that they need to be cautious because relaxing copyright may affect the next TV broadcast contract.

Su Yang had no choice but to give up his suggestion, attended the thank-you dinner, and flew back to Sa City overnight, preparing to implement the plan for the next stage.

The team resumed joint training No. 21.

Su Yang held a meeting with the coaching staff, scouting department and trainer team to discuss how to further enhance the team's strength.

"Giannis' shooting needs to be further improved, especially when he performs a large number of short pick-and-roll tactics, it is best to reduce the uncontrollable situations against the Pelicans before..." Trainer Phil Handy made suggestions one after another, and George also included.

"Cousins' shooting improvement was quite obvious. He scored 40 points against the Lakers before, 22 of which came from mid- and long-distance shooting. We can arrange more high-level support tactics around him..." Assistant coach West made suggestions for the scout report.

"Thomas' positioning is a bit vague. It is mainly because Brogdon's joining can replace his function. In addition, Raven's ball-holding level has improved, Thomas' role has been further weakened, and his defensive weaknesses have been amplified..." said assistant coach Mike Brown.

Everyone spoke one after another, and Su Yang listened and thought.

When the speech ended, he continued: "Giannis' shooting can be handled as the key task of the next 25 games, and he will try it simultaneously around Cousins' high-level support tactics. As for Thomas' positioning, he has rich experience and stable scoring ability at critical moments. Brogden cannot be a perfect replacement in the playoffs for the time being..."

The plan is determined and all work will be carried out.

No. 23, the Kings play against the Nuggets.

Cousins ​​took the ball at the high position at the beginning, pretending to be a hand-to-hand cover, but in fact he raised his hand and shot the ball and made it easy. The subsequent several shots were very efficient. After half a quarter, he scored as many as 11 points, which cost Curry and others very little.

Su Yang was very happy. In December, Cousins ​​had to practice mid-range and long-range shots, but he didn't expect to see the results so quickly. During the main period, Cousins ​​did not feel complacent, but remembered the task and maintained an attitude of pursuing the ultimate.

A Cousins ​​who is well-controlled and willing to think with his brain is definitely a nightmare for the entire team.

After the game, the Kings won 116 to 100. The only drawback was that Cousins ​​did not have double rebounds.

The reason is also very simple. There are too many shots at high positions, too few baskets, and naturally there are few rebounds, not to mention Antetokounmpo.

After a day off, the king will fight the Hornets again.

I wanted to use the short pick-and-roll to give Antetokounmpo the opportunity to practice mid-range shooting in some games, but the Hornets did not implement the defense change strategy and deliberately allowed Curry to make a three-pointer. As a result, Curry was really in a bad position, with only 1 of 6 shots in the first quarter.

The tactics were completely out, but Guancui didn't feel good, so Su Yang didn't care, so he asked Antetokounmpo to practice back-and-shooting.

Practicing back-playing mainly simulates the situation of playing against the Spurs in the playoffs, avoiding the Spurs from arranging Leonard to defend Antetokounmpo. Although they can be targeted through the starting Raven or Brogdon, there is always nothing wrong with practicing, and they can also crack potential joint defense.

After a few rounds, Su Yang had to admit that Antetokounmpo was playing with his back and stretching, but the Hornets really couldn't defend themselves. The main reason was that Kaminsky was soft, Marvin Williams was much different in height, and Batum and others did not have the courage to shrink the double-team, so they could only watch.

After the game, the Kings beat the Hornets 109 to 95, Antetokounmpo scored the highest 23 points and 13 rebounds.

After the game, commentators commented on the game.

The mainstream view was quickly summarized as: the King is no longer satisfied with winning, but trains through actual combat. It can be said that he is the most proud team in the NBA history. Even the Bulls and the Lakers, who had the same level of dominance, did not dare to do that.

Fans really want to watch the Kings play against the Rockets, but according to the schedule, they need to wait until April to play.

Rest routine the next day.

Su Yang rushed to the training base to handle the work and found that Lavin was there, but he did not train, so he was curious to ask.

Lavine said bluntly: "My agent just asked me if I was interested in playing at the Nets or the Knicks. Those two teams have no core yet, and they can offer me a maximum salary contract, and they also said that you will definitely not renew my contract with me in advance..."

Su Yang nodded after hearing this.

"According to the current situation of the team, I will not renew your contract in advance with you, but after entering the offseason, I will fully consider your ideas. If you want to go to other places, tell me directly that as long as the conditions offered by the other party are appropriate, I will never stop you. You can also play a full rookie contract and then consider it based on the situation next year. The choice is in your hands."

The Kings cannot maintain their current lineup for a long time, and Lavin's ability cannot shake the status of the other four superstars in the team. Su Yang does not need to lie, but the potential three-game and four-game championships are attractive enough, and the transaction deadline has passed, so choose casually.

"I guess they were also frustrated in the trading market and lacked confidence in the off-season free market, so they sent out such an invitation..." Laven analyzed calmly, knowing that he was just a second or even a third alternative, and did not open his ideas with great enthusiasm.

Su Yang gave a thumbs up and gave a thumbs up.

Because Paul went to the Rockets, it can be said that in 2017, only Hayward and Durant left the free market. However, Durant had no need to leave the Warriors. Hayward was very likely to go to Boston of college coach Stevens, so no other team could think of it.

It can be said that the competition for big names in the free market ended early.

Potential players like LaVine have become targets for various teams, but they are definitely just casting a wide net.

The two chatted for a few more times, and Lawen promised not to be distracted. Su Yang said there was no need to blame himself, and it was human nature to be the boss.

The next day, in the last game in February, the Kings vs. The Timberwolves.

Maybe he wanted to prove his strength too much. The Timberwolves cooperated very well to switch defense against Curry. The Kings finally got the opportunity to practice the short pick-and-roll series tactics. However, Antetokounmpo's emergency stop shooting was really eye-catching. He started the game for most of the quarter and made 1 of 6 shots.

The Kings fell behind and entered the second quarter. Su Yang was not in a hurry at all. He then experimented with short pick-and-roll and asked Antetokounmpo to shoot more shots.

Until the end of the fourth season, Antetokounmpo's emergency stop shooting did not show any results, and instead let Curry and his team take the lead.

After a 14-2 wave, the Kings won the game 102-94, and Antetokounmpo made 23 crazily shot irons in the whole game.

Back in the locker room, Su Yang encouraged Antetokounmpo not to worry. It may be inappropriate to shoot in an emergency, and the main attacker will shoot.

After a day off, the Kings start the March schedule.

The coaching staff work is handed over to Mike Brown, and it can be carried out according to the previous plan. Su Yang devotes more energy to the company. Some of them did not attend at home and were absent from the away game. He mainly heard that Trump may attack in the name of privacy and security.

I was busy until the end of the month, and I had to deal with all kinds of places that might be used as excuses, and prepared a potential counterattack.

Let's look at the team again. The Kings lost back to back to the Spurs and the Grizzlies twice, and unexpectedly lost to the Wizards and Jazz. Curry had two games off in the middle and completely lost the hope of three consecutive MVPs, but the probability of Antetokounmpo's attack on the best lineup increased greatly.

It was mainly one month and in 16 games, Antetokounmpo evolved his emergency stop throw to a threatening point.

On April 1st, Su Yang flew straight to Minnesota to meet with the team, preparing to coach the remaining six games seriously.

The Kings' temporary record is 67 wins and 9 losses. As long as they win three games and reach 70, they will be considered as completing the regular season mission.
Chapter completed!
