Chapter 637 Discounted Edition Cosmic Bravery
As Hinkie predicted, WOJ quickly broke the news that the Warriors and the Mavericks had reached a deal about Seth Curry.

The gaming industry was the first to respond. Betway and other well-known websites greatly increased the odds of the Warriors winning the championship, making the odds of the Warriors only lose to the Kings and Cavaliers. It seemed that the Warriors had a hope of fighting the Kings in the Western Conference Final .

ESPN then gave the trade rating S+.

The well-known commentator Zach Lowe retweeted and wrote: "Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is always a spoiler. When the Mavericks couldn't make the playoffs this season because of Dirk Nowitzki's injury, he chose to help the Warriors. Gathering the last piece of the championship puzzle, I guess he intends to prevent the Kings from achieving three consecutive championships, so that the Kings must let Cousins ​​or Paul George go, and in the next season, the Mavericks will have the largest salary space in the league and get three in a row High draft pick of the year.

As far as I know, the Mavericks management headed by Nelson has identified their rebuilding core for the next ten years. "

That kind of comment got more than 3000 likes and more than 1 retweets. Many fans are happy to see the Warriors become stronger. Anyway, the King’s opponent has officially appeared. The King will face the Warriors in the next Christmas game. The King will never dare to short Livingston .

WOJ immediately broke the news, claiming that the Warriors, especially the coaching staff headed by Cole, are very happy with this transaction and are also excited about the prospects of the Warriors, because Seth Curry is completely in line with their tactical system, and the effect is greater than 1 +1.

The well-known commentator Bill Simmons tweeted and commented: "I understand Cole's thoughts very well. Their system only lacks a point guard who can shoot and handle the ball. The current situation facing the Celtics is the same. Strong, it’s like increasing the length of the shortest board in the barrel, which greatly improves the team, just like the Lakers got Pau Gasol in 08.”

Many fans who still didn't understand that statement immediately reacted and left messages on the Warriors official Twitter with even more excitement.

There is only one sentence: kill the king.

At 06:30 in the afternoon, the game between the Kings and the Trail Blazers was about to start, and Su Yang was interviewed by reporters before the game as usual.

After a round of boring questions, ESPN team reporter Lindsay asked: "What do you think of the Warriors getting Curry?"

Lindsay deliberately didn't mention Stephen, other reporters chuckled tacitly, Su Yang also chuckled and said: "I also think it's a bad deal, Seth is better than his brother Stephen, let's see what happens next." What will happen next?"

Su Yang really appreciated that transaction from the bottom of his heart.

Seth can share the pressure on Durant and Clay, and can also increase Green's threat. Although the scoring ability is far inferior to his brother Stephen, the Warriors' multi-giant lineup has been fully activated, and the biggest power of the multi-giant lineup is not It needs full play.

Just like the Big Four of the Kings, they don't need to be efficient in every game to win, as long as two of them play normally.

The biggest improvement of the multi-giant lineup is to reduce risk.

Just like the 'condom' theory of some silly Warriors fans, it's better without Durant, and it's safer to have Durant.

At seven o'clock, the game between the Kings and the Trail Blazers started.

Su Yang found out that Turner hadn't entered the Blazers' roster, and the Blazers were planning to rotate with 9 players. There was no serious center among the four substitutes. He immediately decided to let Cousins ​​play more. He was really worried that Cousins ​​would not be available for a long time. The high-profile performance will make other coaches in the league forget how good Cousins ​​is, and it will also let Cousins ​​understand that the team did not let him sacrifice all the time.

Anyway, they take turns.

With his instruction, Curry launched an attack around Cousins ​​at the beginning, and Cousins ​​also fought hard, catching Meyers Leonard and Plumlee, regardless of the Blazers' bullshit twin-tower lineup, They scored 13 points in the first quarter, very strong.

But two points and two points are hard to beat, and the efficiency is always a bit low. The Blazers relied on McCollum's super efficient performance of 7 of 6 shots to successfully stabilize the situation. George mainly defended Lillard, allowing Lillard to score 5 points in the first quarter. Medium, and Curry's defense is mediocre.

In the second quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers hurriedly adjusted their defensive strategy, trying to use fouls and small moves to destroy Cousins' mood.However, after three seasons of training by Su Yang, Cousins ​​​​no longer easily gets angry. He stood on the free throw line continuously and made 8 of 8 shots steadily. He scored 11 points in a single quarter. However, the defensive end was a bit stretched, which made Ed Davis and Plumlee scored 18 points.

After halftime, the Kings fell behind by 5 points.

The king's generals didn't find anything, and Su Yang didn't specifically emphasize that the whole team knew that the loss was because Curry and George didn't attack much. They were about to charge up, and the Blazers' defense like a vegetable market in the early morning was played every minute. X to 0 attack wave.

After the break ended in the third quarter, the Kings were still Cousins' main attack, still efficiently scoring 14 points in a single quarter. And continue to be in full swing.

The Blazers' dual guns have little power to resist.

Especially Lillard, facing the pincer attack of Brogdon and George, he was stupid and made mistakes again and again.

Cousins ​​played more and more crazy, even hit two three-pointers, and finally led the Kings to defeat the Trail Blazers with 55 points and 14 rebounds.

At the press conference after the game, when talking about how to evaluate Cousins' crazy performance, Su Yang said with a smile: "I hope that after tonight, everyone will stop discussing who is the number one center in the league. A healthy Cousins ​​is a small ball." The Shaquille O'Neal of the era..."

The interview was quickly compiled and published as news.

A fan commented and wrote: "I was still celebrating the Warriors getting Seth Curry two hours ago, but after watching the Kings vs. The Warriors are qualified to challenge the Kings. They really want to beat the Warriors. They also need to solve the problem of interior defense, but they no longer have Bogut, only Pachulia..."

Amidst all kinds of discussions, the Kings team flew to Salt Lake City overnight, rested for a night, and challenged the Jazz back to back.

At [-]:[-] p.m., he arrived at the Energy Solutions Arena for pre-match training. Su Yang was still a little confused. Why did he challenge the Jazz in two consecutive back-to-back away games? Did the scheduler have a grudge against the Kings and insisted on increasing the number of games for the Kings? More difficulty.

Considering that it was not too easy to win against the Trail Blazers before, and it was back-to-back plateau battles, Su Yang directly let Cousins ​​truce, and also reduced the playing time of Curry and George, allowing Brogdon and LaVine to lead the team more. , and played inextricably with the Jazz.

Ordinarily, Jazz is not that weak,

But the Jazz also lacked a starter. Rodney Hood did not play, not because of injuries, but because of contract extension issues.

There was news before that the Jazz did not plan to renew Hood in advance. The reason was similar to that of Hayward who did not renew Hayward in advance. He thought Hood was not worth it, which caused Hood to have a conflict with the management. He needed to calm down first, so he did not play. .

With such a brain-dead management, it is no wonder that Gobert will renew his contract for 2 million and 5 years in the future, which will completely lock the Jazz for five years.

We can wait until the end of the season to talk about it!
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Jazz’s eight-player rotation finally ran out, and the Kings gradually took the initiative. In the end, they defeated 112 to 99 and won. The team scored in double figures with a total of six players, achieved 17 consecutive victories, and continued to dominate the league. Proud of the pack.

The Kings team flew back to Saskatchewan and rested for three full days, officially ushering in the opponent Golden State Warriors in the Christmas game.

Su Yang checked the scouting report and found that after the Warriors acquired Seth Curry, they easily won a wave of three consecutive victories. The biggest change is that Durant can win the game with only 22 points, and the average playing time per game has also dropped slightly. It can be said to be a wave of blood.

"The discounted version of Cosmos Brave, how do we defend?"
