Chapter 444 Behind the Victory
Against strong teams, the Kings played very solidly.
This is the temperament of a real championship-level team.
Coach Van Gundy played a key role in it.
As the leader and point guard of the team, no matter how well he wants to play, Qin Yang still has to be arranged by the coaching staff for issues such as tactical selection and running positions. Sometimes his personal ability is actually very limited.
Coach Van Gundy's tactical quality is very good.
At the beginning of this season, the Kings started with six consecutive victories and have an excellent record.
But after this away game, the team came to Denver and ushered in the Denver Nuggets back to back.
Although it is back to back, although there is altitude sickness, the Kings are not too scared.
The Nuggets are now a well-known weak team in the league.
Many people criticized Carmelo Anthony as a cancer, but after he left, the Nuggets fell into a slump.
Against such a weak team, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Qin Yang thought so too.
But when the first quarter of the game ended, the Kings trailed by 11 points.
After so much behind in a single quarter, I feel like a dog.
Qin Yang scored 6 of 1 in a single quarter, and the team that was pitted did not want it.
Afflalo was really cruel to Qin Yang in this match.The defense is at the level of the playoffs. Qin Yang has played back-to-back away games, and he feels very tired. When he encounters such a defense, he has no friends.
What was even more speechless was that in the second quarter, Al Harrington of the Nuggets broke out.
Who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?
Al Harrington's New Years Eve.
This kind of power forward who mainly shoots from the outside is most afraid of feeling smooth, and it will be against the sky.
Al Harrington made all kinds of shots in the outside line, killing people when they meet God, and killing Buddha when they meet Buddha.
The entire home court of the Nuggets seemed to have become a hell, devouring the Kings players.
Not long after the fourth quarter, Qin Yang was replaced.
The Kings throw in the towel.
Played seven games in ten days, and came to the Nuggets' home court back to back. The Kings' loss was not unjust.
After the game, Van Gundy also practiced very well:
"It's not the players' fault. We obviously didn't expect this situation. We feel tired after consecutive games. The environment here is more difficult to deal with than we thought."
"The good thing is that none of us got injured, everyone can rest and get ready for the next game."
If you lose, you lose, nothing.
Coach Van Gundy didn't care at all, and the team relaxed a lot because of this.
No one was hated by Coach Van Gundy because of this, and the team atmosphere is still very good.
If there is a bad thing, it must be only two people.
Rudy Gay's team suspension is over, but Rudy Gay hasn't gotten a chance to play when other players are tired and don't want to play.
This is too bad.
But Rudy Gay just didn't say a word, didn't look for the coach, and didn't look for Qin Yang.
During training, Rudy Gay was also very lazy. This attitude is very similar to McGrady.
Tracy McGrady used to be hot in the league, but...now.
No one wanted it, it was horrible.
If Rudy Gay doesn't change, God knows what will happen in the future.
Another problematic player on the team is Cousins.
On the second day after returning to Sacramento, Cousins found Qin Yang and complained to Qin Yang:
"I feel like Coach Stan treats me like a blue-collar guy, I don't get the ball at all."
Cousins is a bit brain-dead.
But it feels cute.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Last season, when Qin Yang was on the court, Cousins had conflicts with the team coach and the team's assistant coach.
Almost beat the coach.
A rookie who dares to be so arrogant is the only one in the NBA.
Qin Yang hesitated, and then he could only persuade Cousins:
"I know you have some dissatisfaction. In fact, I also think that your talent is more than that, but we are a team. If the coach asks you to do something, you can't refuse, just like I have to do what the coach arranges."
"If you have the opportunity, you can train more on high position support and offense. You are not doing well enough in this regard."
Cousins drooped his face, looking unhappy.
Qin Yang couldn't even scold him if he wanted to.
Cousins didn't intend to make trouble, but the team really couldn't arrange tactics for him.
In terms of the team's shots, Qin Yang is the boss. He is excellent in three-pointers and has no flaws in offense. He must have a lot of shots.
Others, Ray Allen and David West's tactical role and strength needless to say, they must have the right to shoot.
Casspi, Grant Hill, Darko, Francisco Garcia and Livingston all played well. Their shooting and offense are quite good. They are a perfect part of tactics and must be shot.
At this time, Cousins' position is very awkward.
It is not important to say that Cousins is already the second head of the Kings in name this season.
When playing, Cousins is the penultimate appearance.
But Cousins' main role on the court is to protect the frame and use his speed to attack the basket after getting the ball.
Tactically speaking, Cousins is really a blue collar.
But given Cousins' huge tactics, the Kings really can't help it.
Cousins passes the ball well, but his passing is very unstable. He often passes blindly in high passes and makes many mistakes.
When attacking, Cousins had poor offensive options, shot randomly from mid-range, and had a very low shooting percentage.
Three-pointers to open up space?
The Kings don't need it at all. The Kings have a bunch of outside three-point shooters, and Cousins is the worst one.
In this case, it is normal for Cousins to have no tactical status.
Qin Yang couldn't comfort him.
After losing to the Nuggets, returning to the home court, the Kings played against the Bucks without a break.
The Bucks are a weak team, and after the insider Bogut left, the Bucks are really weak.
Before the game started, Qin Yang also greeted his former Bucks teammate Udrih.
Udri wanted more playing time, and was traded to the Bucks, where Udri's status is not low.
At the beginning of the game, the two teams played very hard.
The state of the Kings is still not good, Qin Yang hit the iron continuously, Ray Allen also kept missing shots, and the Kings fell behind at the beginning.
Five minutes into the first quarter, Coach Van Gundy called a timeout and made a substitution.
Ray Allen was blinded for Grant Hill, and Francisco Garcia was blinded for Casspi.
In these few games, Grant Hill and Garcia didn't play that much, and they were relatively well rested.
After the substitution, the team's performance improved a lot.
In the second quarter, Livingston came off the bench and performed well.
Livingston faced Udrih, and then used his height advantage to make a mid-range shot after directly playing with his back.
For more than one quarter, not to mention 5 of 3, the passing and defense are also quite satisfactory.
It's a pity that the core of the Bucks also played very well.
Brandon Jennings scored 50+ points when he first entered the league, which shocked the league and is also very powerful.
This kind of outside line, which is mainly based on projection, is scary when it feels good.
In this game, the Kings put most of their energy on Brandon Jennings, but how did Jennings vote.
Fighting until the fourth quarter.
Qin Yangcai used breakthrough and foul tactics to gain an absolute lead in waves.
