Chapter 582 Trembling, Trembling (Deacon Gagen)
In the first game of the new year, the Kings played against the Suns at home, and George wore the blue and white No. 24 jersey for the first time.

When the announcer read his name, the fans stood up and applauded and cheered, shaking their bells in unison to express their welcome.

George then spoke before the game on behalf of the team: "Thank you! Thank you all for your welcome! I am very happy to be back in California, which is only half an hour's drive from where I went to college! I am very happy to be a Kings player. Love you all, I am here to promise you that I will give [-]% to help the team defend the championship...”

Su Yang took the lead in applauding, and then pulled George to encourage loudly: "Maybe you are not familiar with the team's offensive and defensive system, but it doesn't matter. You play according to your instincts and experience the feeling of mutual help between the teams. Curry and the others will cooperate with you." !"

George nodded seriously, then walked into the court and stood next to TJ Warren, who the Suns have been performing hot recently, with a calm face.

The other four starters of the Suns are Knight, Booker, Tucker, and Chandler. They are suffering a five-game losing streak because of Bledsoe's torn meniscus in his left knee. Taller than before Bledsoe's injury.

It's a pity that they encountered the Bulls, Cavaliers, Spurs, Rockets, and Clippers in a row, and were defeated in the fourth quarter of five consecutive games. Too bad luck.

Su Yang glanced at the Suns bench and found that Coach Hornacek was frowning, probably because he thought he would lose six games in a row.

"Father-in-law's luck is too bad..."

Su Yang couldn't help feeling sorry for Hornacek. After retiring for so many years, he managed to be the head coach of the Suns. In the end, he only gave full play to his talent for one season, and almost brought the Suns into the playoffs. The West ranked ninth with 48 wins. It's embarrassing.

In the second year, Hornacek encountered the Suns management's slapstick operation, gave Bledsoe a super contract, built three main point guard lineups, and sent away De La Miracle in the middle of the season. The team's chemical reaction jumped to the end, and then Bledsoe was reimbursed for the season again.

Leave the Suns and go to the Knicks, and meet the old and confused Phil Jackson again, insisting on playing the outdated triangle offense...

Hornacek is a typical fate, but not completely lucky. The impact of years of struggle is not as good as that of a beautiful daughter.

Of course, Hornacek, who is known as the dead light gun, was a two-time three-point shooter champion during his player period, and he is also somewhat famous.

After thinking about it, the game officially started.

The Suns won the jump ball to start the offense.

I don't know what's going on, the basketball is extremely conductive, and Tucker sits on his back to hit Brother Antetokounmpo, and he gets a shot with a cap.

Turn the king to attack, according to Su Yang's arrangement, the first attack is handed over to George, and he runs a slice tactic.

The audience stood up and stared.

George used the back screen to complete the strong and weak transfer, the left waist caught the ball and hit Warren with his back, and turned around for a layup and scored steadily.

Cheers immediately resounded through the center of Golden One.

Easy side Suns attack, Excited George returned to defense and ran the wrong route, allowing Tucker to hit a wide open three-pointer in the corner on the other side.

Su Yang led the king and the crowd to laugh wildly.

George shrugged awkwardly.

Immediately afterwards, Cousins ​​hit the ball back from the left waist to attract defensive attention, and then lobbed it to Curry who slipped to the basket, and Curry pretended to layup to attract the weak side defense, and hurriedly passed the ball to the right At the bottom corner, the letter was divided into the right wing, and LaVine received the ball and passed it to the top of the arc.

The sun wheel made a big circle to fill the space, and finally the space was vacant.

George caught the ball and raised his hand to score a three-pointer.

Basketball hollow into the net.

Cheers resounded through the Golden One Center again.

Kevin McHale of the ABC live broadcast seat said jealously: "It's ridiculous! I really don't know what Kevin Pritchard was thinking. He actually exchanged Paul George for Jokic. In terms of the performance of these two rounds , George can attack with the ball in the low post, catch and shoot in the high post, his tactical value and offensive ability far surpass Jokic, Pritchard must be crazy!"

Between the words, Booker used Chandler's hands to cover, took advantage of the situation to catch the ball and rushed to the inside, but couldn't get rid of George.

Originally, LaVine defended Booker, but after consecutive screens, he was replaced by George to defend, without Cousins ​​needing to grab it.

There were boos everywhere in the arena. Booker failed to make a breakthrough after some manipulations. He made an emergency stop and forced a jump shot, which was blocked.

George got the basketball easily, looked up and took aim, then aimed a long pass to the running Antetokounmpo to facilitate the fast break.Antetokounmpo caught the ball and ran wildly, ignoring Chandler's early retreat, and made a super European step layup, making the score 2+1.

The arena burst into cheers.

Antetokounmpo and George high-fived to celebrate.

McHale in the live broadcast was speechless: "He can defend and fight, how do other teams play?"

Between you and me, the game reached 3 minutes and 21 seconds left in the first quarter, and the Kings led the Suns 22 to 14.

According to the rotation arrangement, Su Yang beckoned to replace Curry and Thomas Jr., and then took advantage of the free throw time to quickly instruct the whole team to attack around Thomas Jr., trying to make Thomas Jr. the best sixth man. This season is better Opportunity.

The main competition is not so fierce. Last season, Crawford, Gay, and Lu Wei split the votes. It is too difficult to be true.

Originally, I wanted Thomas to be an All-Star substitute.

But the western guard group is too exaggerated, Kobe, Curry, Harden, Paul, Westbrook, Thompson, it is hellish difficulty.

I just hope to give little Thomas some compensation.

It's a good opportunity to play against the sun.

The timeout ended in a blink of an eye, and Thomas Jr. began to perform. The four of George and Cousins ​​cooperated with all their strength and switched defenses with various screens.

The Kings quickly played an 11-4 offensive and ended the first quarter with a 33-18 lead, showing a crushing trend.

The second quarter of the game then continued.

Thomas Jr. made a dry pull and a steal, leading the team to a 9-0 offensive, giving the Kings a 24-point lead.

The sun's momentum completely collapsed and began to fight.

Booker, who played the best, couldn't get the ball. After taking three shots in the first quarter, he took one shot in the second quarter. He still picked up the offensive rebound by himself. Knight and Warren basically didn't pass the ball to Booker, and it was still empty several times. Standing, Booker spread his hands for a while, but no one paid attention.

Warren was also terribly defended by George. He made 13 of 4 shots in the first half, but the more he went, the more he had to shoot, as if he was in a daze.

Seeing the situation, Su Yang knew that Hornacek was only a few days away from getting out of class, and the Suns had already disobeyed orders.

After returning from the halftime break, Su Yang asked Curry to let go and strive for two consecutive MVPs. Although it is very difficult, he still has to try.

Curry subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing the Kings leading by 31 points, he smiled and said, "Then I'll play it as a training game..."

In just eight minutes and 50 seconds, amid waves of cheers, Curry made 10 of 7 three-pointers in the third quarter.

The sun can't be broken.

The fourth quarter is pure performance time, both teams are fighting in the third team, but the Kings side Galloway + Grant + Bazemore + Whiteside + Covington, against the Suns'Dongguan' star Wim Si and Archie Goodwin and others are still crushed.

At the end of the game, the Kings defeated the Suns 157 to 119. Seven players from the team scored in double figures, and George made his debut with 21 points.

Curry scored 36 points and 12 assists in the third quarter, and Thomas Jr. scored 23 points and 6 assists. The whole team went crazy.

It's a pity that 157 points looks very high, but in the entire NBA history, it can only be ranked No.10. I don't know why the Pistons played against the Nuggets in 1983. Why did they score 186 to 184? That's outrageous.

However, 157 points is still the highest in the league season.

Social media discussions exploded after the game.

Some fans compared the king to a headless horseman and wrote: "Tremble, the death knell has sounded for the entire league! Tremble, the dirge has been sung for the entire league! The long and arduous championship journey is over, let We chanted the king championship!"
