Chapter 240: Troublesome Legion!

Win the first battle!

In the opening game of the new season, the Kings played a hearty offensive battle that people watched. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the face of the "flying bombardment" Clippers who had just formed an aircraft carrier lineup, the kings were not afraid at all, and they were trying to find a way to bombard from the beginning. Although it once fell behind a lot, it came from behind, and with the extremely wonderful small-ball lineup, the Clippers were caught off guard.

118-107, the Kings won their first regular season game, making a good start to the new season.

In fact, the performance of the Clippers team cannot be said to be very bad, except for the outside three-point is really enough, the inside score is still superior.

Paul's tandem, the team's run-and-bomb tactics have been verified, if it weren't for the later outburst of the Kings' side that was too dazzling, and the pace was not fast, the Clippers scored 107 points, which was enough to win the game.

On the Kings' side, DeMarcus Cousins, a strong contender for last season's Rookie of the Year, scored 19 points, 10 rebounds and three assists against Jordan Jr.'s defense. Unfortunately, Cousins made too many mistakes, which lowered his game rating. ”

By the time the TV news was broadcast, information about the classic pictures and data performance of the game had already been flying all over the Internet. A new era of NBA communication is coming, in addition to watching games, live TV is still the best choice, other basketball information, online media, is rapidly catching up.

Tyrek Evans had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, and today he hit two three-pointers and two long-range two-pointers without the opposing defense paying enough attention. In the new season, the former best rookie has obviously strengthened his mid-to-long range shooting. The rest of the league is probably going to start adjusting their tactics! ”

In addition, Jason Thompson had 7 points and 7 rebounds, and Francisco Garcia had 11 points, and Marcus Thornton, who was originally notified as a starter before the game, suddenly became the sixth man at the beginning of the game, and adapted to his new role quite well, scoring 19 points in 27 minutes of playing time. The scoring efficiency is still good. ”

"And the most eye-catching player in this game is undoubtedly our MR.TROUBLE-hairstyle brother Gu Yu! In the first game of the new season, Mr. Trouble, who made his debut, scored a high score of 44 points, and made a strong counterattack in the dismal situation of only 1 of 5 shots in the opening game, leading the team to win! ”

Many people are in YY, should the Clippers find a way to chase the run-and-shoot master D'Antoni, so that the team now has such a lineup that is extremely suitable for run-and-shoot can play to the extreme.

But Gu Yu's brilliance is so dazzling that neutral fans have no time to take care of the future and feelings of the Clippers.

Against a strong team with offensive firepower, the Kings can not fall behind or even win, but what about against a strong defensive team?

This question has been maintained until more than half a month after the start of the season, and there is a chance to answer it.

"Come on, come on, get closer!"

About a week after the first game, the Sacramento Kings team center.

"Show your muscles! How can BAD-BOYS do without muscle support? Show off your muscles! ”

The core of the Kings came together to pose under the command of a photographer.

The "click" sound continued, and one photo after another was taken, and with each shot, the players changed their looks. Although the position, movement, and communication between each other are different, the same thing is that each shape reveals one word:

Vicious!

"Roar, can you roar? DeMarcus, hairstyle brother, roar one? ”

"I'm going to fuck you there!!"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's !!"

"Click-click......

Evans, Gu Yu, Thorton, Garcia, Cousins.

Five of the Kings' most important players wore jerseys, and a basketball was passed back and forth between several people, sometimes posing as S, sometimes as B, and the photographer who took the photo was delighted.

"How long will it take????"

I don't know how long I've been busy, this photo seems to be endless, Gu Yu is really a little impatient, and said loudly with a loud voice: "A morning has passed, if you continue to shoot like this, I will practice until I die at night!" ”

"It's going to be fast, it's going to be fast, hahaha......"

Where does the photographer dare to spray with Gu Yu, a villain? Shrinking his neck and scratching his head, his hands are also speeding up.

This is a special photo shoot for the cover story of the new issue of Sports Illustrated, a well-known sports magazine in the United States. Starting at 9 o'clock in the morning, there was an interview first, followed by photos, and there were many small things, which made Gu Yu, a training maniac, very uncomfortable.

"Okay, little ghost, give people a little face......!"

In between shooting, seeing Gu Yu poking the photographer's head again, Westphall couldn't cry or laugh, hurriedly stepped forward to pull Gu Yu away, and whispered in his ear: "How long has it been since the Kings have been on the cover of Sports Illustrated, do you know?" It's been 7 years! The last time he was on the cover was in 2004, and it was Peja who said he was going to be the best foreign player in the league, how long ago did you think about it?? ”

"Whew! The strongest foreign player is clearly Dirk. ”

Gu Yu snorted.

"Oh, I know, but it's for the sake of momentum!"

Westphal also had no choice but to make trouble with Gu Yu, and said with a wry smile: "Who let the game we play now surprise everyone and scare the whole world...... ”

Scared the world?

It's only been a week since the start of the game, and it's four games, what can the Kings scare the world into with such a fish belly?

Don't say it, it's really scared.

With four consecutive wins at the start of the season, the Kings have a remarkable record, and although the sample size is still too small and too few, it is a solid temporary ranking of first place in the West.

And in four games, the Kings' opponents are the Clippers, Nuggets, Suns, and New York, all of which are top offensive teams in the league.

Against these teams, the Kings averaged 114 points per game, second in the league behind the Philadelphia 76ers, who began to play open-ended bombardments, and ranked second in the league in points per game.

THE 26 ASSISTS PER GAME ARE ALSO THE SECOND IN THE LEAGUE, AND COUNTLESS HAND-TO-HAND PASSES, INFINITE CONDUCTION, AND EXTRA-PASSES MAKE PEOPLE INFINITELY MISS AND RECALL THE GORGEOUS DIVISION THAT ONCE SWEPT THE LEAGUE.

“RESTORATION! SAC――TROUBLE-MAKERS! ”

Restoration! Sacramento - Trouble Maker!

When a reporter from Sports Illustrated told the team's manager, Petri, that the Kings manager was intrigued when he heard the title of the special project.

You must know that once upon a time, the king was also a box office weapon in the league. Kings games, home and away, are often hard to come by. People crowded their heads just to be able to see the splendid offensive performance of the gorgeous king.

And now that the king is in decline, the home box office can barely support it, and when it comes to the away game, if it is better to play against a strong team or a big ball market, it is better to play a weak team, and the attendance rate is simply unsightly.

Although the box office has never been the focus of NBA teams' revenue, the amount of box office will directly affect the choice of TV broadcasters.

For an NBA team, the number of TV broadcasts, especially the number of live broadcasts across the United States, can basically be regarded as the lifeblood of revenue. The more broadcasts, the more opportunities a team has to make a profit. In this age of highly developed media, exposure is everything.

For the sake of exposure and broadcasts, the Kings are not without thinking about making stars.

But after the disintegration of the old king, in the new king era, the team's most dazzling players are Kevin Martin and Artest.

Kevin Martin scored high, but the action was ...... There is also an offensive way that is good at touching porcelain, which is really a bit unpopular, and it is a bit difficult to use him as a box office weapon.

And Artest...... It's good not to hit the fans, it's okay to be all-round in offense and defense, but this honor and style of play is also very difficult to attract fans......

Now, after so many years of slump, the Kings have finally ushered in a group of young talents and started to play offensive basketball that they have not seen for a long time.

Among them, Cousins, Evans, and Gu Yu are the iron triangle, and the "personality" of the Kings players is quite rich.

"Good! Thank you very much! ”

"It's finally ...... done"

"Next, take a set of solo photos, and keep the three of Troublestysty, DeMarcus, and Tyrek for a while!"

"I'll fuck your uncle's mouse pad ......!"

Gu Yu, with a responsible temper, an irritable powder keg, a fierce face, will fight desperately with people at any time.

When he really arrives on the field, he wins with his skills, almost never makes small moves, his personality is so tough, but his style of play is elegant and chic, which is a stark contrast.

"Cousin, don't be angry, don't be angry...... It should be fast, just a few solo photos, I used to take when I was in college, it's very simple......"

DeMarcus Cousins, honest and responsible, used to be a violent temper, and it is not too much to say that he is full of meat.

But in fact, his heart is quite soft, he is a real big boy, and he has no bad intentions at all. Sometimes he even took on the task of appeasing Gu Yu's temper, which belongs to the type that makes people feel more upright and cute the more they look at it after watching it for a long time.

"Cut, what do you care about him, he likes to shoot or not, it's best not to shoot, the two of us shoot, anyway, he is not qualified to be in the camera with us."

Tyrek Evans, the poisonous tongue, and Gu Yu have a strong sense of bad friend CP.

Although the character looks a little gloomy and low, the style of the ball is so gorgeous that it is scum, and even a little fierce, but it is the big brother of the other two.

"Hahaha...... See the smile, see the smile...... You three shoot me! Finish shooting early, finish early! ”

Finally appeased the three living treasures, Westphaal and Petri stood aside, looking at the incomparably precious wealth in front of them, and their hearts were full of relief.

These three TROUBLE-MAKERS are the future of the king.

The gorgeous offense is the foundation, Evans and Cousins have two tactical axes, one inside and one outside, and Gu Yu is the most powerful attacking artillery.

How far can this lineup play against a strong defensive team?

Shortly after the publication of this issue of Sports Illustrated, the challenge arose.
