"Toot, toot, toot——!!"

The game is over!

"It's over! It's over!! The Sacramento Kings ushered in a big win at home! After losing the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Kings fought back and played an extremely dazzling offensive performance in this battle of life and death. In the end, they won 121-102, with a difference of 19 points, which was exactly in line with the performance of the players on both sides in this game! ”

“KINGS！ KINGS！ KINGS！ KINGS！ ”

In the stadium, the fans chanted the name of the team rhythmically, and the team, which had brought endless glory to the city and brought painful memories to the city, once again relied on the resilience of the players to survive from the line of life and death!

"What a great performance from the Kings! In view of the weakness of the Thunder center's slow foot, targeted adjustments were made. Cousins mentioned that the high-post, frame-based style of play was a bit aggressive, but it proved to be effective! ”

"Cousin——!!"

As the biggest contributor to the victory in this game, Cousins scored 33 points and 11 rebounds, and single-handedly supported the interior of the Kings.

The players gathered around Cousins, and if it weren't for the fact that his cousin was too heavy, they would have been lifting him straight above his head and going around the court.

"And the reason why Cousins was able to play so well has a lot to do with the performance of the other two key players of the Kings! Tyrek Evans, after two years, finally found the feeling of scoring again, and got 27 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in the perfect data, not only did his best in combing the offense, but also used sharp breakthroughs and air cuts to keep scoring! ”

"It's a good fight!"

Gu Yu naturally knew all this, and after arguing with Cousins, he walked in front of Evans in a few steps, smiled and reached out to pat the latter's head.

"There's space on the inside line, it's really different......!"

Evans looked at the bench with excitement, and the old coach Westphaal was standing in place smiling at him, nodding slightly.

After Cousins pulled out, the offensive space under the King's basket suddenly widened several times. Evans is not a player who relies on speed and physical fitness, and his breakthrough is more based on his good ball sense.

Evans has a lot of layups and a keen nose for scoring under the basket, and theoretically, if they really want to build a team with him as the core, the Kings should follow the path of the previous Bulls.

But the appearance of Cousins has changed everything, Evans, who scored historic statistics in his rookie season, how much sacrifice he made in order to make room for Cousins, and how much effort and sweat he put in to hone his shooting and long-range shooting in order to be able to help Cousins open up the basket area

All this is known only to his teammates who have worked hard with him until now.

"Of course, the most popular player on the Kings team, this game is also quite good!"

The commentator's words finally fell on Gu Yu: "Although due to the Thunder team's targeted offense and the non-stop crazy pressing defense throughout the game, the scoring data of Brother Hairstyle in this game is indeed not as explosive as in the previous game." But in the case of giving up a lot of opportunities to his teammates, the hairstyle brother still scored 23 points! ”

Judging from the data, the winners of this game are naturally Cousins and Evans. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that without Gu Yu as a third point of support, if he used his terrifying defensive gravity to open up space, Cousins and Evans would not have been able to get so many easy one-on-one and even empty basket opportunities.

Moreover, Gu Yu and Evans continued to hit the basket with air cuts throughout the court, which also gave the Thunder interior players enough pressure to help defend and make up for the defense. Cousins naturally has more space to handle the ball, and the trio complement each other and play their best in different positions on the court.

"The most terrifying thing is that the king has already scored more than 120 points, but the hairstyle brother has not exploded! It's hard to imagine how many points the king can score in the game in the past few years, after the king's trident is more mature, if the hairstyle brother explodes! ”

3 to 3!

equalized the score, and the Kings saved themselves from the cliff of life and death, once again continuing the suspense of the game.

This season is the first season for the Kings to enter the playoffs with Gu Yu, Cousins, and Evans as the main team. Maybe you don't care so much about the outcome after that, on the pitch, what the fans see is the future.

It's the radiant time that belongs to the king!

"I'm very happy with the players! When your team hits such a high score and can still limit the Thunder to around 100 points on the defensive end, there's no way you can say you're not happy with everything! ”

At the post-match press conference, Westphal did not hesitate to praise words, and the look of joy on his face was overflowing.

"If you ask me what my goal is for the last game, I can only tell you that as professionals, we will definitely try to win ......!"

Tyrek Evans said this in response to a reporter's question.

"The space is good, the view is great, and if you want me to say, the high middle is really a good position, it suits me perfectly! Hahaha!! ”

Cousins commented on how he felt after the change of position in this game.

"One word: Gan!"

Gu Yu's answer is always so "informal......

After the game, the sports news and commentary programs of major TV stations, the invited ball critics and experts, for the first time, really began to pay attention to the Kings team in this year's playoffs.

"The sky is their limit."

"I think so."

"The first time you used this team to enter the playoffs, you dragged the favorite to tie seven, are you still not satisfied? Then you guys are really strict. ”

The experts, without exception, praised the Kings' performance. Although public opinion still generally believes that the talent and strength of the Thunder, especially the experience of the big scene in the playoffs, and the home-court advantage in the final game, will allow them to advance to the next round.

But compared to the situation before the start of the playoffs, when the Kings were swept 0-4, the current Kings team has changed from the role of "playoff companion" to the position of "having the strength to disrupt the game".

The seventh game between the two sides will return to Oklahoma in two days.

Before that, the Kings welcomed an old friend.

“…… Bang bang bang! ”

On the training ground, the Kings players are warming up.

"Three points of cold arrows! I! ”

Cousins has begun to feel a little obsessed with scoring three-point shots, and after doing the basic warm-up, he actually began to find a shooting coach to open a small stove for himself, practice three-point shooting, and then ......

"Dang!"

Gorgeous iron!

"That's ...... Wouldn't it be good?? ”

Evans was still a little worried, dribbling the two balls with both hands to find a feeling, while watching Cousins look distressed, with a worried face.

"It's okay, he'll be normal after the next game, rest assured~"

Thorton didn't seem to care, said something meaningful, winked at Evans, turned around and ran away from Gu Zi to practice.

...... the next game?

Evans couldn't keep up with Thorton's train of thought, and frowned and thought for a long time, still not knowing what Thorton was referring to.

Evans' concern is simple: if Cousins is really obsessed with the three-point shot, he will play more and more from the outside because it is easier to shoot than to score hand-to-hand combat under the basket with a defense on his shoulder.

If you lose Cousins' innate under-the-basket feeling, it will be worth the loss.

Being able to shoot, especially shooting three-pointers, is naturally a good thing, the so-called skills are not pressing, any player, any position, if he can have a three-point shot, it will definitely bring him help and benefits.

However, everything must be talked about in a certain degree, if it is too much, there is one more skill, but it will make a player lose himself and lose his own job.

There are many similar examples, the most recent being Chris Bosh.

Once upon a time, Dragon King Bosh was also a bully of the Toronto inside, although the style of play is very different from the traditional inside, with fewer backs and more frames, but he is also the master of begging for a life under the basket. Whether it's rebounding or interior defense, Bosh can do very well, averaging 20+10 per game is as simple as eating.

But after coming to Miami, Bosh became obsessed with the feeling of eating LeBron-fed cakes, on the one hand, of course, Bosh made great sacrifices for tactics and victory. However, it is also an indisputable fact that Bosh in Miami has walked a huge turning point in his career, and his willingness to attack the basket has been greatly reduced, and he has become more and more "floating".

The shooting is as strong as Nowitzki, and it was only in the middle and late stages of his career that he embarked on the road of the real god of war after his back-to-back skills were completed. David Robinson's data is gorgeous, his skills are dashing, and his face frame is sharp, and after the plucked man Duncan enters the Spurs, he will have to give up the interior space and the top position of the team.

Westbrook was also lost for a while after the zombies stopped and pulled out a little, and he was crazy about pulling iron in the middle distance, which gave the Thunder a headache from top to bottom.

It's just that these stars can firmly control themselves when their skills change, their positions change, and their status changes. Even if there is a short period of loss, I will adjust as soon as possible and continue to make outstanding contributions to the team.

This ability to regulate oneself and recognize oneself is the biggest gap between stars and ordinary players.

Now Cousins is starting to shoot jumpers, which ...... Will it be a turning point in his career?

Evans was a little afraid to imagine the answer.

"Gu ...... Alas! ”

Turning around and wanting to talk to Gu Yu about this issue, Evans turned his head and found that he had already come to the training ground at no know what time, and Gu Yu, who had finished doing an unknown number of exercises, was busy playing with JRS in front of the computer, sighed and shook his head.

Don't think about it so much, practice yourself and talk about it......!

Evans took a deep breath and was ready to dive into training.

"Squeak"

The door to the training ground was pushed open.
