The Kings proved themselves at home with a seven-three record against fellow Pacific Division Lakers.

It was the Kings' best start since the start of the 2001-2002 season, when the Kings were the best Kings in the West and the best Kings in history.

Of course, this result is the worst start of Li Liang's career, and you know how thick Li Liang's thighs were before.

The Kings reached a high point in morale after beating the Lakers.

But teams that rely on morale have one more obvious problem - instability.

The king is now a destabilizing bunch.

First and foremost was Cousins.

Cousins is playing happily, the inside giant, and this year there is a faint posture of the first center.

If you are not happy to play, you will first have a technical foul to suppress the shock.

On November 11, the Double 11 Kings played the Trail Blazers away, and Cousins made a big kill at the Moda Center, but was sent off the court in the fourth quarter for two technical fouls.

Fortunately, the Kings still defeated the Trail Blazers by 125-122, a three-point advantage, and won five in a row.

On Nov. 13, the Kings returned to Sacramento to take on the Spurs.

In this game, Li Liang wanted revenge, but he didn't know that Cousins had two fouls in the first quarter.

Came up in the second quarter and then fouled again - knocked down Pau Gasol in the middle of the offense and was whistled for an offensive foul.

Li Liang had to replace Cousins off the court, and the Kings faced interior defense problems throughout the game.

And Spurs Popovich lifted out the twin towers at the right time, Gasol plus Ade, and the two used their height advantage to keep bombing the king's weak interior line.

At 108:111, the Kings lost to the Spurs for the second time of the season by a three-point deficit.

Revenge failed.

After the game, back in the locker room, Li Liang held back his anger and did not get angry at Cousins.

He silently used [Tim Duncan's Touch to the Head] to calm Cousins' ups and downs.

Li Liang decided that this season, even if he touched Cousins bald, he had to use his head to improve his temper.

Cousins' foul prowess should be said to be historic.

He has played more than 500 games and has averaged the fourth-highest number of fouls per game all-time.

The three people in front of him were all players from the 50s and 60s, and the NBA environment and rules of that era were completely different from now.

Therefore, Cousins is considered the "king of fouls" in modern basketball.

In comparison, Li Liang is simply the "king of non-fouls" in the league, and he controls fouls very well.

In four years of high-intensity, high-density, and long-term games, Li Liang was sent off only once.

On the one hand, he has a good relationship with the referee, and on the other hand, he controls his emotions and movements very well.

How to control emotions and foul play is a topic that Cousins has to face.

After all, he is the core of the team's interior, and without him, it would be too difficult to play in the regular season.

The second person in the king's mood is Rondo.

Rondo has the same temper, and he disagrees with Li Liang from time to time during the game.

Of course, the end result is all suppressed by a hair dryer.

Li Liang can suppress him.

After losing to the Spurs, the No. 18 Kings faced the Clippers at home.

Rondo clashed with Paul during the game, and the two were swearing at each other from the first quarter.

Paul does have a very high status in the league, a champion in hand, and the president of the union, can be a man and do things, although he is small, he has a very charismatic personality.

But there are always people who are not convinced, such as Delong, such as Rondo.

DeLong is the same class, Rondo is only one class later than Paul, also has a champion, and has more temper.

In the second quarter, the conflict between the two sides began to escalate.

Rondo was tackled by Paul on an attack, then turned back to tackle, and the two fell to the ground and fought for a ball.

The referee blew the scrum, and neither of them let go after they got up.

As a result, they sprayed each other face to face.

After a trash talk, I thought I was going to die down, but I didn't know that Rondo suddenly had a "jujube nail" and spit on Paul's head.

Can Paul bear this? The old fist slammed directly into Rondo's face!

The two directly beat each other.

Cousins, Jordan Jr., Griffin and others hurriedly came over to persuade them.

When Li Liang saw it, he also wanted to go up and play, but after thinking about it, I am a coach, and I can't fight.

So Li Liang also went to persuade him, "You should hit him in the face, don't use your fists, use a slap, your fists are too dangerous, and you will break ......"

He didn't know which way to persuade him.

There was chaos on the court, and Kings fans said that the ticket was worth it.

Not only watched a basketball game, but also accompanied by a wonderful boxing.

In the context of the overall environment of the NBA becoming more and more "civilized", there are really not many such scenes.

Like those old fans in the 70s, when they go to watch the NBA, they are mainly boxing games, and by the way, they watch basketball.

The referee's whistle went up and down, and the two men were finally pulled away.

Don't look at Paul's height, this boxing level is still not bad.

In the replay, Paul gave Rondo a solid punch.

When Rondo fought back, Paul took advantage of his height and ducked his head to avoid being beaten.

After reviewing the footage, the referee sent both men off the field.

Without Paul, the Clippers would have no backbone.

Originally, it was difficult to fight with the Kings, but in the third quarter, Bi Li Liang led a wave of offensive shockwaves to break down.

In the end, the Kings relied on Rondo to blow himself up with Paul and beat the Clippers 107-99 at home to avoid a losing streak.

However, after the game, the NBA officially issued penalties, and Rondo and Paul each received two suspensions.

This ban can be said to be quite severe.

Images of the two sides foaming and fighting were also repeatedly broadcast on television.

In an interview after the game, Li Liang said, "Rondo is a competitive player, he plays very tough, and he has the style of an old-school player. He had some skirmishes with Paul, which I think is normal, on the pitch it's the opponent, it's the enemy. I immediately stepped forward and separated them, it's my responsibility, I'm a coach now. ”

"But I heard that you slapped Paul on the field?"

"Who said that? He must have misheard, and I told Rondo to stay calm and slap myself if I wanted to fight. ”

After taking himself out, Li Liang immediately expressed his opinion on Twitter, posting a picture of Paul boxing Rondo, with a comment: "A great moment in boxing in the 21st century. ”

It seems that Li Liang not only understands basketball, but also boxing.

But the Kings immediately faced the next problem, and the next two games were not much more than Lang.

Rondo's ability to dominate the ball in the offense is still very important to the Kings.

On the 20th, the Kings faced the Raptors at home, and after Rondo was gone, the offensive organization pressure on Li Liang increased greatly.

He carried the team's offense, scoring 27 points and 21 assists in a single game, helping the Kings beat the Raptors 105-98, 7-point advantage.

Anyway, don't think about clocking in at half-time last season, and you have to go all out if you want to win every game.

Also unable to clock in at half-time were the defending champions, the Thunder.

On the 23rd, the Thunder visited Sacramento, and Li Liang faced his old club for the first time in the new season.

In the opening game, the Thunder had already received the championship ring and were waiting for Li Liang to go to Russia.

In this game, the Thunder did not give Li Liang face, and Durant and Westbrook teamed up to score 77 points.

Westbrook 33 points, Durant 44 points!

Although Li Liang has scored 36 points and 16 assists.

But he's just too busy.

The coach is him, the main control is him, and the defense Durant is still him.

During the intermission, Li Liang drank a bottle of Gatorade to replenish his physical fitness.

In the regular season, Li Liang rarely drank Gatorade sent by the system, which shows how tired he is without Rondo, the ball holder.

In the end, the Thunder defeated the Kings by a margin of 118:113 and 5 points.

The Kings' two-game winning streak came to an abrupt end.

It's too difficult for a team with emotionally unstable players to get a winning streak in the regular season.
