start with scouting

Chapter 620

On October 31, the Kings flew to Atlanta to challenge the Eagles away.

At the pre-match ceremony at seven o’clock, the announcer introduced the starting players of the Eagles, including Schroeder who "loves 8400 more than 580", Bazemore who left the Kings in the summer and signed a 4-year 7000 million contract, and changed Howard playing hometown basketball.

Hearing Howard's name, Su Yang subconsciously raised his head to look at the big screen, just in time to see Howard stand up calmly and give his teammates a mechanical high-five. He felt a little weird for some reason. Thinking about it carefully, it turned out that Howard was not as funny as he thought.

Happy Basketball is gone.

Hometown basketball seems to be average as well.

Howard lost his smile.

The three years of working with Harden are obviously not satisfactory. After the peak period of his career is over, he joins a team of Eagles who are in a rebuilding state. sad story.

Su Yang couldn't help recalling the scene of seven or eight reporters chasing after Davis for an interview, while Howard was completely ignored by the side. The key was to accept the humiliating clause of daily salary in order to play a game. Sing backwards.

That joke is well said. Howard first met Kobe and then Harden, and his mentality changed drastically. The wrong time was the right person.

"You can pay attention to Howard's next move. If he is bought out, we can snatch him as a backup center..." Su Yang arranged the plan casually. Assistant coach David West was surprised when he heard the words, and then nodded and wrote down.

The Hawks signed Howard, mostly because they wanted to snatch a good-looking asset player and fill the poor line by the way, just like the 76ers offered Ginobili for 1400 million in the offseason. champion.

Regardless of whether the timeline changes or not, Howard is about to start the wandering mode, and it is a good deal to grab a backup center.

The matches in the arena start simultaneously.

Between you and me, the Kings led 37 to 26 in the first quarter, and mainly hit 6 three-pointers in a single quarter, blasting the Eagles.

The backcourt composed of Bazemore and Schroeder has a slightly poor defensive ability. In addition, the King's backcourt is Curry+George. One positive and one negative accumulate, and the lethality is even more terrifying. Moreover, the Eagles' two forwards, Miller Sapp can't guard against Brother Antetokounmpo.

Howard can handle Cousins ​​hard, but under the King's tactical system, Cousins ​​only played low post once in the first quarter.

The second quarter started immediately.

The two teams faced off on the bench. The king's lineup was Thomas Jr. + LaVine + Covington + Grant. Brogdon also appeared on the field. Once again, he used the death five small lineup to directly speed up the fast break. Offensive rebound.

The Eagles, what about Muscala, Malcolm Delaney, Kardashian's ex-husband, Tim Hardaway Jr....

The gap in the lineup is too large. Even if the Kings have no center and lost 6 points inside, they still beat the Eagles and expanded their lead.

When the Hawks' main players returned early and faced the Kings as substitutes, the point difference was still difficult to narrow, and some spectators left early.

No way, the Eagles are too constipated to attack.

Su Yang felt sorry for Coach Budenholzer.

After Horford and Teague left in the offseason, the Eagles' offensive and defensive system was re-established, and the two players, Howard and Schroeder, one inside and one outside, are far from the same level of organization as before. It's okay to play against weak teams , It is very difficult to play against a strong team.

As far as Horford's high-level strategy is concerned, Horn, Elbow, Chicago and other tactical systems can be played casually.

In contrast, Howard only has a single pick and roll.

Not very happy to run the pick-and-roll.

That will expose his shortcomings in tactical understanding. The so-called superstar airs are more like exaggerations. Just imagine that fans find that Howard, like the smart Wiseman and Ayton before Paul's training, can't even play a pick-and-roll. The evaluation is definitely greatly reduced .

"Talent is very important, and so is cultivation..."

Seeing Howard struggling to get the ball under the basket, Su Yang couldn't help but imagine, if he had coached the Magic that had just selected Howard, how would he train it?It is definitely not possible to start from a power forward, and the pick-and-roll awareness must be cultivated as soon as possible.

In a blink of an eye, after halftime, the Kings' lead expanded to 21 points, and more Eagles fans left the field early in anger.

Back from the halftime break, Curry faced the Eagles' single defense, made three three-pointers and made two three-pointers, scored 24 points, and then clocked out to get off work, giving up the position and the ball in the backcourt to Thomas Jr. and Burrow Gordon and George also went to rest.

Brother Antetokounmpo continued to play on the court, or he took the initiative to apply, as if avoiding saying that he would activate the three-team clause.

If you win the best third team or the first and second teams, you can get 5% more salary, but more is to win the status of the team.

Su Yang naturally allows it, the main thing is that people's physiques cannot be generalized. Brother Antetokounmpo's abnormal body recovery ability, don't worry too much about his excessive consumption, and don't worry about getting seriously injured, as long as he doesn't hurt others, and it's just a normal rotation.

The two main players were off the court. Brogdon controlled the ball more and cooperated very well with Antetokounmpo. He simply picked and rolled and hit the Eagles with no power to fight back. In the end, he scored 16 points, 4 assists and 2 steals, helping the Kings 116 to 95 Beat the eagle.

Shaking hands after the game, Su Yang saw Budenholzer's tired face, obviously feeling bad about the process of the game.

"It's great to be my boss..."

When Su Yang turned around, he sighed in his heart that Budenholzer was very unlucky now. The Peak Eagles were swept by the Cavaliers led by LeBron 4-0, which made the Eagles management completely lose confidence in the lineup, and then let Horford and Teague go. To rebuild.

Budenholzer's years of hard work went to waste like that. He was completely out of control and only won the title of coach in the regular season.

It can only be said that fate cannot be controlled. He met a strong LeBron, and LeBron met a stronger opponent.

Fans and the media had a lot of discussions about the game, and a large number of major Eagles fans left the field early, which aroused a lot of extra attention.

"I always think that Su Yang's tactical layout, personnel rotation, and on-the-spot response are not obviously much higher than other coaches in the league, but he found underestimated players, positioned the origin, and cultivated the players' abilities. Explode the entire league!"

"All coaches and behind-the-scenes staff in the league should be grateful to Su Yang. He has demonstrated very intuitively that to win the championship, it is definitely not enough to form a team with a few All-Star players. Regardless of business, coaches should be the same as players. status."

"The Kings led by Su Yang have set an excellent example of how to achieve success in a small ball market. Players who have failed to make the playoffs all year round are invited to learn from him seriously, including but not limited to hiring professional management, establishing The team culture of true solidarity and mutual assistance... Can you think that Curry is not the three-time MVP, and takes the initiative to give up time to help rookies adapt?"

Amidst all kinds of comments, the king flew to Miami overnight, ready to challenge the Heat without Wade back to back.

After waking up from a nap at noon, Su Yang saw Cousins ​​sending a link in the group. He clicked on it and found that it was Embiid who scored 25 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 2 blocks last night, leading the 76ers to a big victory over the Wizards. , a small detonation of social media discussions.

The main topic is still the battle for the best rookie. Embiid scored 20+ in three consecutive games, and his impression is more shocking than Brogdon.

"I don't know if Embiid will have a truce in the middle of the season. It seems that I have to find a way to help Brogdon compete..." Su Yang let go of the Heat's recent game and found that Justise Winslow was on the starting list. Do some gimmicks to raise attention.

After all, it was rumored that the Celtics president Danny Ainge was going to exchange 6 draft picks for the high pick to choose Winslow.
But Pat Riley flatly refused.

What if Brogdon hammered Winslow?
