Chapter 439 First in History (Mo Bai hopes to add more)
In order to solicit customers, the first game of the preseason was held in Las Vegas. The Kings team packed up and rushed to the airport as scheduled.

After boarding the plane, Su Yang announced that he would increase the daily food allowance standard for away trips from $129 to $200.

The players are not interested in making changes, because compared to them, two hundred dollars is relatively low even for signing with a basic salary, but the team's accompanying staff are very happy. There are quite a lot of summaries.

After all, many hotels will include a dinner and breakfast after opening the room, and the $200 is equivalent to net income.

Su Yang naturally knew that the main reason was to increase the morale of the whole team. From the staff to the players, everyone had to have a stronger mentality.

As for spending a little money, sprinkle water.

In the evening, when the Kings and the Lakers met at the MGM Center, Su Yang shook hands with Lakers coach Byron Scott.

It was quite shocking for Byron Scott to take over. After a little inquiry, I found out that Bass valued Byron Scott's experience of winning consecutive ShowTime championships back then. He didn't trust D'Antoni that much, and he was also worried that Kobe would be injured after playing for a long time.

Su Yang didn't think too much when he learned the whole story, and instead sent Cousins ​​+ Millsap + Antetokounmpo + Marcus Thornton + Thomas Jr. to the starting lineup, while the Lakers were Jordan Hill + Gasol + The starting lineup of Artest + Kobe + Curry.

Because of the change in the timeline, the Lakers, who won the championship in the summer, did not use the amnesty clause to amnesty Artest, which seemed very humane.

Maybe the Lakers don't care about the results of the game. In a place like Las Vegas, they just play well. Kobe and Curry take turns playing singles, super long three-pointers and head-on shots. Also wanton and cheerful to try.

Byron Scott did not stop him, allowing Kobe and Curry to operate, but Su Yang did not relax his demands on the king's generals.

It is not necessary to win the game, but to establish tactical literacy as soon as possible. There are very few opportunities for this kind of game that does not affect the performance and can be fully practiced. We must make good use of it, and strive to find out those potential problems in advance and solve them before the regular season.

Maybe the king played too seriously, especially Antetokounmpo, who took the ball in various strides and dunked several times.

After the first quarter, the Kings led by 14 points.

The two teams entered the bench confrontation stage, Gay + Gobert + Jason Thompson + Vazquez + Covington, five people formed the king's bench, beat the Lakers Biedrins + Green + Ebanks + Meeks + Blake, the lead is close to 20+.

Mainly Gay adjusted his mentality, gave up a lot of high-efficiency shots, actively participated in tactical running, and did not hate physical confrontation so much on the defensive end. He taught Ebanks a good lesson. The key point is that other Lakers players cannot match him. size and speed.

The Lakers' bench offense is still difficult to launch. Green's combination with the four-man team has almost no bonus effect, and I don't know what's going on.The on-site ESPN commentator hinted that Su Yang's use of Green is very different from that of Scott, and Green should be allowed to start.

After halftime, the Kings led by 26 points.

Back from halftime, Kobe and Curry still had no sense of urgency. They played casually and then took a rest. It was obviously only an entertainment game.

Su Yang continued to command the whole team to run tactics and practice communication. He did not send out a lineup with no contracts until he led by 38 points. Among them was CBA player Wang Zheling, who was specially arranged to follow the training. Su Yang also designed several low-post singles around tactics.

After the game, the Kings beat the Lakers 127 to 98.

The whole team flew back to Sacramento and played two light confrontation simulation games with Hu Jian, mainly sharing some game strategies.

In a blink of an eye, October NO.11, the Kings flew to Oakland to challenge the Warriors away after Howard left, and continued to play hard.

The Warriors have made a lot of money in the free market. They did not renew their contracts with Ellis and Landry. They backhandedly signed Bogut and sent a lot of draft picks to make room. Compete with Curry.

When Su Yang heard the news, he wondered if this was a forced reorganization of the Warrior Dynasty, but it would be very difficult without Green.

But after thinking about it again, Byron Scott's strategy against Green is very likely to cause the Lakers to let Green go.

Thinking of those, I was a little shocked.

After reacting, Su Yang commanded the whole team to blast violently. It is best for Curry to see that the operations of his old team, the Warriors, are useless.

But probably the Warriors owner and head coach also had the same idea, and also encouraged the Warriors to blast hard, and the game was inextricably linked for a while.

But the game entered the second quarter as a substitute, and Gay was like a fish jumping into the sea. Iguodala and Barnes were not good, and Jermaine O'Neal's defense was useless. Gay seemed to really fulfill his talent, and finally McGrady has eight successes, and he is as mad as slaughtering a pig.

By the time the main players of the two teams reappeared, the Kings had established a 12-point lead and maintained it until the end, beating the Warriors by a small margin.

After four days of rest, the Kings played against the Clippers at home.

Su Yang saw that he could help Cousins ​​improve, and assigned a task on the spot: "Boogie, we need you to restrain Griffin, and at the same time not get into foul trouble. If we can do it, our chances of winning will be greatly improved. Do you have confidence? ?”

Cousins ​​thumped his chest to promise, and came on the stage with a breath, actively looking for Griffin on both ends of the offense and defense, and swung his elbows.

Taking advantage of the referee calling a foul, Su Yang beckoned Cousins ​​to the sidelines: "Be patient and calm. The game is still long. If Griffin doesn't have an obvious tendency to attack, you don't have to fight him all the way. That's too easy. Take low-efficiency fouls..."

After speaking the truth, he pulled the players to cheer and encourage, so that Cousins, who was sensitive in his heart, felt the attention of his teammates.

Back on the court, Cousins ​​became a lot calmer, but Griffin was a little uncomfortable because he was fouled for diving.

On the Clippers side, the small forward position cannot match Antetokounmpo and Gay in a row, and they are still losing points crazily with a defensive colander.

The game was anxiously played in the middle of the fourth quarter, the Kings led by 8 points, the Clippers suddenly had all substitutes, and Rivers stopped playing.

Su Yang didn't bother to care about it, he played whatever he wanted, and won by 17 points at the end of the game, winning three consecutive preseason games.

After three days of rest, the Kings will face the Trail Blazers.

Facing the first formation of Lopez + Alder + Batum + Matthews + Lillard's Five Tigers lineup, Su Yang instructed the whole team to catch Lillard and use Lillard's defensive disadvantage to score. After catching Thomas Jr., the two teams played hard for the victory.

After fighting hard for four quarters, the Kings narrowly beat the Blazers by five points and ushered in a five-game winning streak in the preseason, but they were even happier when they found the problem.

Marcus Thornton obviously lost his self-positioning, probably because the coaching staff did not shy away from focusing on young people such as Antetokounmpo and Cousins, and did not design tactics for veterans like him. pass the ball.

Su Yang talked to Thornton in private, promised not to trade, encouraged to be himself, made a move with confidence, and prepared for the big contract in the off-season.

NO.18, the whole team flew to Phoenix to challenge the Suns.

The Kings team became more and more proficient in cooperating and punching in three quarters to win. Among them, Marcus Thornton made 14 of 10 shots and scored 25 points.

Perhaps the five-game winning streak is surprising. ESPN and other media began to report and discuss the Kings, and the strength list also improved.

The news of Gay's most expensive substitute in NBA history has sparked discussions among many fans, who believe that the King's ambitions are not limited to the playoffs.

Su Yang saw fans discussing the possibility of the Kings winning the championship, and realized that he had to keep a low profile so that other teams would not study in advance. In the next two games against the Warriors and Clippers, he no longer used the main lineup for a long time, but used more non-contract Players play.

In the end, they lost all two games, and the Kings ended their preseason tour with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses, ranking 11th in the Western Conference.

After a two-day break, the whole team resumed joint training, watched the video to find problems, and avoided those low-level running mistakes next time.

In a blink of an eye, October NO.30, the Kings ushered in the first game of the 2013-2014 season, playing against the visiting Trail Blazers at home.

At 13:[-] p.m., the audience entered the arena one after another. The mayor of Saskatchewan, Kevin Johnson, approached Su Yang specially: "We have never lost in the past [-] home openers, ranking first in NBA history. I hope this year we can continue this glorious record ..."

Su Yang nodded in agreement, but he thought it would be difficult for the pioneers.
