Let's turn the clock back a little bit, about 24 hours.

Sacramento, the center of the Kings team.

"I'm going back, cousin??"

On the training ground, the Kings players are volunteering to work hard.

Although these troubled children have such and such problems in their personalities, there is one thing that is very rare, that is, in everyone's heart, there is a momentum of "Lao Tzu is the first in the world, and no one will hang Lao Tzu".

At the beginning, the new lineup of the Kings, the practice atmosphere was not so strong. But the leading role of Gu Yu, the leader, is too great, Gu Yu has not changed much from previous years, he still practices like crazy every day and is his own gym mouse.

But Gu Yu's hard work made Wei Shao extremely unhappy, as if he was much lazier than Gu Yu in comparison. As a stunned young man who thought in his heart that one day he would seize power and kill Gu Yu, Wei Shao naturally joined the ranks of crazy training.

And Wei Shao's practice, Bynum is unhappy.

On Gu Yu's side, Bynum was convinced. But Wei Shao? The big washing, scissors and blowing are not in the eyes! If Wei Shao really becomes the team's No. 2 person in the future, pressing on his head, where can Bynum endure it? So, Bynum also joined the training army.

As soon as Bynum practiced, McGee quit.

In the usual lineup rotation, McGee was pressed by Bynum and couldn't lift his head. But after all, two years ago, McGee was still healthy, how much of a starting center level, what about Bynum? Lying on the hospital bed and counting the beautiful knives, happy to be free. As soon as this kind of player comes back, he has to give up his starting position, and you can imagine how unhappy McGee is.

What followed was a chain reaction: McGee practiced and Stevenson was gone. Stevenson practiced, and Vitesse was upset. Vitesse practiced, Beasley had an opinion. Beasley is working hard, and Green is under pressure......

As for the players Thomas Jr., O'Neal Jr., Granger, and Speights, they were somewhat embarrassed, seeing that everyone was gritting their teeth and practicing like crazy, it seemed a little inappropriate to lie at home and sleep by themselves, so they had to practice more.

At this point, the center of the Kings team has completely become a gathering place for crazy people. If there are reporters other than Xiao Yu, who are not very familiar with the situation in the Kings team on weekdays, if they suddenly come to the training ground, I am afraid that they will be directly frightened by the scene at the scene.

"Ahhhhhh!!hh

"Trash! It's only a few round-trips, you can't do it?? I think you're a piece of trash! ”

"Phew! Damn, it's not a heads-up! ”

"Hehe, you pick it, you can't beat me until you die~~~"

"Don't be angry, I'll blow your breath~~Whew~~~~"

This......

What kind of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods are these!

You say that this is a teammate of the same team, and you don't believe anyone who kills them, okay! This is simply the home of the enemies of the Orient Express!

And the cause of all this is Gu Yu's lifeless practice attitude.

So on this day, Gu Yu's move of leaving the scene early made many people very puzzled.

"Cousin, you're leaving?? It's an hour less than usual today! Seeing Gu Yu walking to the sidelines, packing up his things and preparing to leave, McGee was confused.

"Eh, are you stupid??" Green slapped McGee on the head (jumped up and patted) and said: "Fly to San Antonio early tomorrow morning, and the competition will start at about this time in the evening, and practicing too hard today will have the opposite effect!" I'm gone, too, it's almost time! ”

"Damn, are you going to walk a yarn?? You won't be able to play tomorrow, what are you pretending to be?? Wei Shao squirted.

“…… Damn, you're embarrassed to talk about me! You're stunned!! Green immediately shot back.

"it, don't you?"

"Dry rack, dry rack,! I've long seen that you're upset!! ”

"Hahahaha......"

Seeing the young people so "energetic", Granger was really laughing and his stomach hurt.

You admired it for a while, and found that Wei Shao and Green couldn't fight, Granger walked to Gu Yu's side in a few steps and said, "Have a good rest, rely on you tomorrow." ”

"Uh-huh, I know!" Gu Yu nodded, glanced at Green and Wei Shao, who were still angry, with mentally handicapped eyes, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Damn, these two mentally retarded, they would have been a lot easier to fight!" ”

"Haha, come on, you think I didn't see you rush into the players' tunnel?" Granger laughed, "They're both lying on your back, okay, you have to thank them." ”

"It can't be regarded as a lying gun, even if my cousin doesn't rush over, the two of them will definitely be banned." Little O'Neill also wiped his sweat and joined the discussion: "My old arms and legs are not good, sore." ”

"Stop practicing, take it easy." Granger said: "Tomorrow you are the first substitute inside lineman, remember to conserve your strength." ”

"Well, I don't think so."

Little O'Neill just wanted to respond, but Gu Yu suddenly stopped and said, "Just now, the old man with the winged bucket sent me a message and asked me if it would be okay to start the list tomorrow, and I said no." ”

As he spoke, Gu Yu took out his mobile phone and handed it to the two veterans.

The two of them took a closer look, good guy, the king's starting lineup is really shabby!

In Phil Jackson's vision, tomorrow's Kings starters will be Thomas Jr., Gu Yu, Vitesse, Beasley, and McGee.

Among them, except for Thomas Jr., who seems to have the strength to start in some teams, the rest of the players are difficult to be qualified for the starting position for various reasons.

But weighing the pros and cons, this lineup is already the best lineup that the Kings can put out at the moment.

There are five starters, two injuries, two bans, and only one Gu Yu left, no matter how you look at this lineup, it is difficult to support it. It's okay to play a weak team, but tomorrow it's going to be against the league's leading strong Spurs, except for Gu Yu, the other four people can't even stuff the Spurs' teeth.

But......

"No way?" Granger looked puzzled and said, "We can only line up like this, right?" Why not? ”

"The defense is too scummy." Gu Yu shook his head and said: "The Spurs' offense this season is terrifying, in our lineup, only me and McGee can be regarded as defensive, and a few others ...... Imagine Parker hitting a pull-up shot over Thomas Jr.'s head? Leonard runs to shake off Beasley's air cut? Duncan singles McGee ......?? ”

"......"

Both veterans shuddered involuntarily.

"But we don't have any defensive lineups to play." Granger thought for a moment and said, "And the Spurs' offense, can we keep it by switching to a defensive lineup?" ”

"It's impossible to hold on, but it can cost them a little more energy! Otherwise, we are purely fighting with the Spurs with bayonets and attacking, do you think we can win? Gu Yu waved his hand and said, "So I said that this lineup is not good, and the old man of the winged bucket said that he also thinks it is not good, so he will ask me to go to his office to discuss with him." ”

Phil Jackson doesn't think it's okay too?

Granger and O'Neal Jr. glanced at each other, and the two old teammates also had a close relationship with each other.

That seems to be a real no-go.

In this year's playoffs, the Kings didn't have much of a chance, and the first round was such a bad situation against the Spurs, and the two veterans didn't think they could play any miracles.

From the perspective of the team management, this season, the main goal is to make Gu Yu feel good, keep Gu Yu's heart, and make plans for the next year.

So Phil Jackson will definitely refer to Gu Yu's opinion.

The key question is what Gu Yu thinks in his heart.

"That...... Cousin. ”

Seeing that Gu Yu was about to go away, Granger and little O'Neill looked at each other, and quickly caught up: "What do you think in your heart?" Lineup?? ”

"Full defense + single blast."

Gu Yutou didn't reply: "We play spurs, this is the only chance." ”

…… Well?

Full defense plus ...... Singles blasting?

What's this line of thinking??

76ers in 01??

Don't say it, when you think about it, it really seems to be the same thing......!

The two veterans immediately understood what Gu Yu meant, when the 76ers faced the powerful Lakers, it was OK, and the opponent was also invincible in attack and defensive bunkers. Philadelphia relied on an almost defensive lineup, coupled with Iverson's single breaking point, to win a classic game that can go down in history.

THIS STYLE OF PLAY IS A GREAT TEST OF THE TEAM'S INDIVIDUAL STRENGTH IN THE SINGLES POINT, WHICH MUST HAVE ONE PERSON TO OVERTURN THE OFFENSIVE ABILITY OF THE OPPOSITE FIVE PEOPLE IN ORDER TO CARRY THE WHOLE TEAM'S OFFENSE. And the players in the rest of the positions have to put all their energy into defense and fight the opposing stars.

Only with this tactic can there be a fighting force, a faint hope, and a victory in the game.

Anything else than offense, pushing speed, playing overall, there are few teams in the league that will be the opponent of the Spurs.

Unlike Philadelphia back then, the Kings don't always have a single breaking point, as long as they can survive the first game, and when Willis and Green return, the team's situation will be greatly improved.

And in the first game, an extremely aggressive all-defensive strategy was adopted, and in the second game, it suddenly became Gu Yu and Wei Shao's two-point explosion, and Green's overall style of play was planned......

The Spurs, they really can't really catch up!

Although Gu Yu's idea is extremely bold and imaginative, this idea is really a little operable!

Thinking like this, Granger became a little excited, and asked, "So ...... is your ideal starter?" ”

"The Spurs know that we are empty inside, and we don't have Russell's speed, so they don't need to play fast with us, and tomorrow they will definitely use the regular lineup, with Split starting and Thiem playing power forward."

Gu Yu said: "So we don't need to worry about the Spurs' inside line to the outside shooting, the lineup idea is very clear." I'll tell you the specific lineup after discussing it with the old man of the winged bucket. For me, the goal for tomorrow's game is simple. ”

As he spoke, Gu Yu waved his backpack to the side, put it on his back, and started to walk out of the door, gritting his teeth and saying word by word:

"Kill, no, forgive ......!"
