Chapter 514 What is empathy (Deacon Jiageng)
The longer he served as the head coach, the more Su Yang understood why the pig-headed coach Rivers was able to stay in the league for so long.

Because Rivers can gather the hearts of players.

As long as the players are united, the record will always be guaranteed.

Looking back on most of the season, Su Yang found that since Curry and Jokic joined the Kings, he paid less attention to Thomas Jr. and Gay, and even lessened the supervision of Antetokounmpo. Too many to be comprehensive.

If it wasn't for Thomas Jr. being hit by Vazquez to break the defense, he still couldn't realize that the Kings didn't switch defenses around Thomas Jr. at that time. It was probably because the record was too good, and he won by [-] points at every turn, which made the team feel underestimated. Hit casually.

Of course, the most important thing is that Thomas Jr. has not been taken seriously, otherwise without reminding, others will automatically switch defenses.

It is very important to have Cousins ​​selected as an All-Star substitute.

At least let Cousins ​​​​feel concerned and valued.

Thinking of that, Su Yang took Mike Brown and other assistants to discuss, and asked if he had any suggestions, and asked if it would be a problem to play a few more games around Cousins. Although many details have been thought about, there is no loss in listening more , to avoid falling into dogmatism.

McMillan first spoke: "Jeremy Grant's training plan has been frustrated. We may not have a better way. He has too little playing time. Our second team is Gay as a power forward and Covington as a small forward. It is difficult to turn. Grant..."

Di Brown's second speech: "Jason Thompson is full of worries about his future. There are many rumors about his trade. He currently has two years left on his contract. The data is guaranteed. Many people think he is a pure system. It's done."

Mike Brown's third speech: "Bazemore approached me before, hoping to get more playing time, because his playing time did not meet the standard promised at the time of signing, currently only 10.1 minutes per game, I can only let him keep patient…"

During the conversation, the five assistant coaches all talked about some potential problems of the team. Su Yang wrote them down one by one and discussed the countermeasures together.

After discussing for a long time, Su Yang finally concluded: "According to the priority level, increase the playing time of Bazemore and Grant on the spot, clearly inform Jason Thompson that he will not trade him at least this season, and at the same time increase the proportion of Antetokounmpo holding the ball..."

Some things are just a sentence, but when I get busy or I don’t pay much attention to it, I still don’t say that sentence all the time.

On the 28th, the Kings challenged the Pacers away.

Paul George started the game poorly, with three consecutive shots and one turnover. The Kings were just normal, and soon led by 10 points. Su Yang pondered for a moment, temporarily adjusted and replaced Curry, and arranged for Bazemore to play in advance.

Bazemore's performance was quite satisfactory. The Kings led the Pacers 34 times in 21 waves in the first quarter, and Su Yang arranged for Thomas Jr. to appear.

The substitute match started, and the Kings still played smoothly. They wanted to remove Gay and let Grant spend more time, but Gay played very well against the elderly Scola. It was a good time to score points. Keep Guy in the ring.

In Su Yang's view, although Gay gets the highest salary in the team, he does play as a substitute to sacrifice exposure and reduce the possibility of signing a big contract. With such a good opportunity, it is a normal operation to score more points. Don't mess it up. Other free agents are chilling.

After all, Gay's performance and situation will affect the willingness of many free agents and even veteran players to join the Kings.

As for allowing Grant to make more plans, it can only be postponed.

It's hard anyway.

In a blink of an eye, halftime was over, and the Kings led by 14 points.

Returning to the locker room during the intermission, Su Yang imitated Rivers and Mike Brown and praised Turner and Covington in a fancy way. , that steal was sharp...

In short, it reflects the details.

Make the compliment sound real.

Rather than a more perfunctory 'you are really good'.

But it is also quite difficult. It takes years to memorize those things, which will inevitably form a habit and reduce other concerns.

It can't appear to be streamlined, and it can't be praised in turn mechanically. It's better to have some sarcastic remarks in the middle.

After Su Yang finished the round, he sighed in his heart that it was too difficult, too difficult. No wonder Rivers was fired that day and signed the contract the next day.

Praising people with high EQ is also a skill.

Keep in mind the details of the players' performance on the field. Next time, I will leave it to the assistant coaches and record them in a notebook.

I would rather spend more money to hire teaching assistants than spend more energy on my own. Maybe that is the benefit of the boss and the coach working together.

The halftime break is over, and the third quarter begins.

The starting lineup crushed the Pacers again, and the advantage was getting bigger and bigger. Su Yang took the initiative to withdraw Curry again and let Bazemore play more.

For a moment, it was almost understandable why Kerr insisted on playing Curry off the ball and running pick-and-rolls for big men.

Curry is so talkative.For the team's long-term development, Curry can only be sacrificed, replaced by other MVP players, and go to Nima's off-ball.

Gay is also a very talkative player. Su Yang feels that he is so lucky that he has not encountered a situation where he is determined not to be a substitute.

If Schroeder is like that, it will be more difficult to train rookies.

Of course, Su Yang can also understand Cole's difficulties.

After all, the Warriors management found Cole with a tablet: "Data analysis shows that when Curry is on the wall, Wiseman scores more efficiently..." It is like the media analyzing the 76ers game and concluded that when Simmons does not play, 76 The winning rate of the game will be relatively low.

That's another benefit of being a boss, unlimited.

After thinking about it, after the game was over, the Kings defeated the Pacers 101-94, and Curry only played 33 minutes.

Fortunately, Bazemore performed very well in the last quarter, making 6 of 4 three-pointers, which did not let Curry waste time in the MVP competition.

After beating the Pacers, the whole team flew to Golden State overnight to challenge the Warriors back to back. After four quarters of hard work, the lore failed.

LeBron scored 28 points, 11 assists, 12 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks, which made Curry's 32 points and 8 assists not enough. In the battle for MVP, he succeeded more Earn a speaking advantage.

Returning to Saskatchewan after the four-game winning streak, Su Yang woke up and analyzed the reasons for the loss. He found that he underestimated Darren Collison's offensive ability. The number was the loss. At the last moment, he didn't realize that Collison could score aggressively, and suffered from his small body. Confused, let your guard down.

After a day off, on February [-]st, the Kings played against the Warriors at home, and Su Yang won the best coach award in the Western Conference in January.

It was the Lunar New Year, and the Sleep Train Arena held an event to distribute red envelopes to fans who attended the game, which cost [-] US dollars.

With that kind of operation, it went directly to the hot search on Twitter, and soon many 20-year-old King fans appeared to seek red envelopes.

The game started at eight o'clock, and the two teams were still playing inextricably. With LeBron making an extra free throw, the Kings trailed by two points.

With 8 seconds left in the clock, Su Yang asked to suspend the deployment of tactics.

"In order to prevent us from three-pointers, most of the inside defense will be relatively empty, so we give priority to making fuss around the inside, a variant of the BOX box formation, Gay uses Covington to cover the ball, and on the right, Cousins Simultaneously set a wide screen for Curry. The first opportunity is to seek a quick attack on the basket, the second opportunity is to seek a mid-range shot with an emergency stop, and the third opportunity is to find the three-point line...

In short, don't worry, we still have one timeout to serve in the frontcourt, and they have no timeouts. "

After listening to the arrangement, the king's generals were ordered to return to the court, and Green, who was in charge of serving, was all five players who could shoot three-pointers.

Just to confuse and involve the Warriors like that.

The whistle sounded at the end of the timeout, and the kings and generals took their positions. Gay stood in the short corner on the left, Curry stood in the bottom corner on the right, and Covington and Cousins ​​stood on the left and right elbows respectively. In the zone, Green Green stands outside the left wing and prepares to serve.

The Warriors man-to-man defense, LeBron specifically looking for Curry.

The audience stood up and cheered. The referee walked to Green with the basketball in his arms and whistled for the ball.

The field started at the same time, Guy used Covington's cover to lift up, and Cousins ​​turned around at the same time to cover Curry wide.

Between lightning and flint, Gay rushed to the top of the arc to catch the ball, and Curry handed it to the right waist at the same time, and the two formed a high and low connection.

Guy saw this and hit the ball to the ground, Curry caught the ball and reversed the inward cut, but he never thought that Ezeli and LeBron teamed up to attack.

Curry didn't have an emergency stop to grab a shot, so he had to continue to cut in, and Covington went up to the wall to cover Green's back when he entered the field. The intention was to let Green run to the left and provide a low price for Curry. The three-point pass option, but the Warriors double-teamed too much.

It is also very risky for Curry to layup, and it is even more hopeful to draw a foul. In that case, LeBron and Ezeli will not take off.

The 8 seconds passed quickly, and Curry tossed and turned, imitating Nash to circle the bottom line, but still didn't have a chance to make a phone call.

Seeing this, Su Yang yelled to remind Cousins. Curry seemed to think of it together, and almost simultaneously raised his hand to pass the ball to the right wing.

LeBron rushed to make up for the defense, but he was not superman, and his speed was not that fast. Cousins ​​also deliberately retreated and adjusted.

Ezeli followed closely, but the three-pointer had already shot into the air, and then went into the net hollowly, and the whistle sounded at the end of the game.

113 to 112, the king overtook the lore.

Cheers resounded in the Sleep Train arena, and the Kings rushed towards Cousins ​​frantically. Su Yang thought that Cousins ​​had been replaced.
