Chapter 337 Familiar Rhythm

Amidst the turmoil, the Kings continued their internal training.

In addition to the tactical training and confrontation arranged by the coach, there are very few people in the Kings who practice more. Udry is too old to practice more, and Cousins ​​​​does not want to practice more.

Not to mention other players, they have no idea of ​​training at all.

On the contrary, Darko and Casspi stayed to accompany Qin Yang for additional training. The three also cooperated and confronted in tactics in private, and they got to know each other a lot.

Casspi is a rookie this year, but he is the same age as Qin Yang, only a little over 21 years old.

Qin Yang played Casspi in singles, and he played very easily and freely. From the perspective of physical fitness and technical characteristics, Casspi is very ordinary, but what makes Casspi better than other players is that he has a very high ball quotient, knowing when to move, when to pass, and when to shoot.

It is very urgent to attack with the ball, but the European step is excellent, the shooting is accurate, and the passing is above the standard line, but the defense and physical fitness are slightly average.

Qin Yang actually thinks such a teammate is pretty good.

At least Casspi was very smart, knowing that he would stand by Qin Yang's side from the very beginning, not to cause trouble, but also very humble and hardworking.

Before the season, when interviewed by the media, especially the Israeli media, Qin Yang gave Casspi a positive evaluation:

"Caspi is a very good teammate, low-key, humble, hardworking, and very strong. This season, I am optimistic that he will become an important member of the small forward position."

As soon as Qin Yang said this, many players worked harder the next day.

At the small forward position, the Kings are a little overwhelmed. Nocioni, Garcia, Dante Green, and Casspi compete for the position, and their strengths are not much different.

Inadvertently, Casspi became that catfish.

……

On October 10, the first regular season of the 27-2010 season began, but the first game was an away game.

The Kings played away against the Timberwolves.

At home in Minnesota, the two teams entered the field successively.

As the leader of the Kings, Qin Yang was the last player to enter the field. Even though there were not many people applauding in the away game, Qin Yang was a little excited.

This is Qin Yang's first time as the boss.

After the warm-up, before the game started, coach Westphal arranged the starting lineup, and Qin Yang gathered the players together.

"This season, the Kings will surprise everyone, so in the next game, everyone must work hard."

"For victory!"

After Qin Yang yelled, Cousins, the bastard, immediately yelled loudly, and the nearby spectators and Timberwolves players were startled.

At this time, the other people came to their senses and whispered something together, and everyone pressed their palms together, and it seemed that they were united.

The Kings start, with DeMarcus Cousins ​​on the inside, Carl Landry on the outside, Qin Yang, Tyreke Evans, and Casspi on the outside.

The Timberwolves started, Kevin Love, Michael Beasley, Ellington, Ridnour, Telfair.

The Kings' starting lineup is really weak.

This lineup is the lineup obtained by the coach after integrating many opinions.

Cousins ​​​​is a rookie trained by the team, and it takes a long time, so he must start.The team put a lot of pressure on Westphal and had to do this.

Qin Yang and Tyreke Evans must start, there is no suspense.

But the positions of small forwards and power forwards are a bit embarrassing.

In terms of strength, Darko is more dominant at the power forward position, but in order to wipe Cousins' ass, the team chose Landry.

This choice made Qin Yang very speechless.

As for the small forward, he finally chose Casspi who cooperated best with Qin Yang.

The starting lineup of the Kings is very bleak. Two rookies this year, Casspi and Cousins, and another team's substitute Landry, this lineup is really weak.

But... the Timberwolves are also weak.

Kevin Love played well last season and was able to make a move. Michael Beasley is also a high pick in the draft.Most fans can't recognize who these three people are.

Game start.

Cousins ​​was facing Kevin Love, and Kevin Love didn't bounce very well. Cousins ​​jumped up instantly and turned the ball over.

Qin Yang got the ball very familiarly and slowly dribbled the ball across half court.

It was Ellington who defended Qin Yang.

Who is this guy?

Qin Yang is really not familiar with it.

Ellington defended Qin Yang, Telfair and Ridnor defended Casspi and Tyreke Evans.According to tactics, if Qin Yang passed to Casspi or Tyreke Evans, he would have an absolute matchup advantage, and the Kings would not suffer from the perimeter.

But Qin Yang didn't pass the ball.

The first ball, the first pass as the team boss?What a choice.

The first ball should be shot by the boss.

This is an oath of his own sovereignty, Qin Yang will not pretend to play according to tactics, this ball should be shot by himself.

Ellington is about the same height as Qin Yang, but his speed is much lower. Qin Yang dribbles the ball directly, and after an emergency stop, accelerates the breakthrough of the European team.

Ellington was passed straight through like a stake.

During the offseason of this season, Qin Yang learned from Harden and Durant, became more proficient in European steps, and improved a lot in breakthrough skills, barely comparable to a group of outstanding players in the league.

This level of breakthrough is enough for the time being.

Qin Yang made a layup, Michael Beasley stepped forward to defend, Kevin Love was too slow to keep up, Qin Yang dodged the block under the basket, hit Beasley's arm with both hands, and then threw the basketball to the basket.

The basketball hits the board.

The whistle sounded.

2+1!

On the first ball, Qin Yang demonstrated the new technology Qin Yang learned this offseason.

The Timberwolves attacked, and Kevin Love pulled directly beyond the three-point line, making a light guard's movement, shaking the space and hitting a three-pointer.

There is nothing to say about Kevin Love's offense.

After the first ball, Qin Yang started playing tactics.

The tactics of the Kings are very simple. In addition to covering the pick-and-roll pass and cut, it is to find the opponent's weakest place to play.

Tyreke Evans singles Ridnour, don't play too easily, from the scene, it's just like James playing against an ordinary thin small forward.

Rolling over very easily and willfully.

Casspi is also very easy to play against Telfair. Casspi's biggest flaw lies in his physical fitness, speed and strength are relatively average, but Telfair is even more so.Casspi shouldn't fight too easily.

The Kings took the lead early on.

This is a rhythm Qin Yang is very familiar with. The only regret is that Cousins ​​only got two dunks and two fouls in the first quarter, and his performance was average.

Cousins ​​didn't do well enough on the defensive end, either he didn't defend well, or he made a stupid foul.

Fortunately, the team took the lead, and Qin Yang didn't put pressure on his teammates.

At the end of the first quarter, the Kings led 29-21 by 8 points.
