Nine hundred and fortieth chapters confidence greatly increased
In this game, the Kings and Li Liang had played quite well, but they still lost.
In an interview after the game, Li Liang said, "I said, this is a wonderful game, and then, we have made progress than before, and we will do better."
Li Liang can already treat losing with peace of mind, even if it is lost to the Warriors.
He no longer needs to use [Tim Duncan's Head Touch Kill] to heal himself, nor does he have to go to the bathroom to take a shower. Instead, he returns to the locker room and discusses with the players and coaches to summarize the process and results of the game.
The Kings undoubtedly lost to the defense tonight.
The Bees, who are in a good defensive manner, faces sharp attacks, passers and three-pointers, lose their effect when they are all historical Warriors.
In fact, it is not of much use to switch to other defenses.
When there is no James, high-intensity compression will squeeze the passing line, especially the point of attacking Curry - attacking both ends at the attack and defense will cause great results to consume Curry.
As a result, with James, all these defensive strategies failed.
And because of James, Li Liang could no longer abuse Green.
Without this natural misaligned duel, Li Liang's advantage on the court was missing.
In addition, Cole firmly defended Li Liang with multiple defenses, and Li Liang, who had no superstar teammates, could not withstand it.
It can be said that the Warriors defeated Li Liang and the Kings with a very perfect performance.
Li Liang can actually accept this result, and it is impossible for him to win every game.
More importantly, through this game, Li Liang discovered many problems with the team from the perspective of the head coach.
In addition to defensive issues, such as Cousins' emotional issues.
In the fourth quarter, his foul and technical foul can be regarded as a turning point in the game.
Since then, the Kings have been at a disadvantage in the score and have never been able to flip again.
After Li Liang replaced him, he never let him appear again, but played all the games with West.
In the locker room, Cousins apologized to his senior, ensuring that he would control his temper.
Li Liang did not scold and criticize anyone, but said, "We played well tonight, but the momentum is not on our side. I hope everyone can remember this failure. The same thing is, whoever laughs the sweetest."
As a coach, you must have a long-term perspective and look at the team's status throughout the season.
You can't just look at the gains and losses of a moment.
If it is a strategy, everyone will look further and see the foundation laying and building of the entire team.
Of course, Li Liang doesn't need it because he himself is the cornerstone.
...
Losing to the Warriors did not stop the King from continuing to move forward.
Although he lost the game, the Kings did not lose morale.
On the contrary, the game process proves that the Kings are no worse than the Warriors.
Both sides will definitely have the power to play in the playoffs.
After the winning streak, the Kings immediately faced the challenge of the Eastern Conference team.
On February 6, the King defeated the visiting Chicago Bulls at home.
On February 8, a focus battle, the Kings faced the Boston Celtics at home.
After the Celtics got James Harden, their strength was qualitatively improved.
In the recent All-Star Game vote, Harden received a large number of votes, making him ranked first in the East.
There is finally their new king in the east, and James is still in his name.
However, in order to get this James, the Celtics also came back at a considerable price.
Angie wanted to keep Bradley to assist Harden and send Thomas Jr. to the Rockets.
Unfortunately, the Rockets management is not stupid, after all, he is Anji's apprentice.
Thomas Jr. has a large part of the overlap with Harden in terms of function, and his overall strength and height are one level worse than Harden.
However, his scoring ability this year is really strong and his personal condition is excellent.
After Stevens put him on the bench, he still averaged nearly 20 points per game.
As for the starter, Stevens replicated the previous mode, defending four people, putting the burden of offense on Harden's shoulders, and completely releasing Harden's firepower.
After coming to the Celtics, Harden's score began to soar.
With 30 points, 35 points, 38 points, and 48 points, he has complete firepower.
In the East, where overall strength is far behind, Harden's ability has been fully released.
However, no one understands better than Li Liang when it comes to full release of his abilities.
Li Liang won the Pacers with a single core.
No one knows what a single core is better than me.
How to deal with single cores?
Pinch the core.
So, in this game on February 8, the little bees buzzed, and the Kings' "bee swarm" defense rushed towards Harden frantically.
This move is useless to the Warriors, but it is really useful to rely on Harden for offense. Others don't have much attack power.
Harden was a big mistake. When most of the attacks were to be launched from him, the king's stinging defense was very annoying.
Harden made up 13 mistakes throughout the game!
The mistakes were easily double-headed, and in the crucial fourth quarter, Harden contributed 5 mistakes.
The explosion power of this mistake is really amazing.
The Kings also defeated the Celtics by 108:100, 8 points and won the focus battle.
Afterwards, the Kings defeated the Hawks and Pelicans in a row, achieving four consecutive victories, further consolidating the second place in the West.
On February 14, he challenged the Lakers away, and the Kings unexpectedly lost to a big score.
The team was in a very bad shape, and the Lakers performed very well. At Stamps, the Kings lost 91:115.
This is also the game where Li Liang lost the most points in the regular season in the past two years, exceeding 20 points.
However, on the 15th, people knew why the king's condition was so bad in this game and why Li Liang's rotation was so bad.
They are preparing for the day away game back-to-back play of the Warriors.
It doesn’t matter if you lose to the Lakers, you can’t lose to the Warriors anymore!
This game was played in the Oracle Arena again, and the Kings' team was very focused.
Sometimes in the away game, the players play more united.
The Kings' state is simply a loss compared to last season.
The Kings made 10 of 15 three-pointers in the first half, and Gordon once again became the team's explosive point.
With Thompson putting his energy on Li Liang, Gordon held a lot of balls, making 4 of 4 three-pointers in the counterattack, and the Warriors' defensive transformation.
Steve Cole is very stubborn. He suffered too much loss before, so he insisted on putting pressure on Li Liang.
As the head coach, Li Liang expected this and from the first quarter, he made a ball for his teammates and made his teammates shoot in form.
10 of 15 in the first half and 7 of 12 in the second half. The Kings hit 17 three-pointers in a single game!
Li Liang only scored 21 points in the whole game, but gave 15 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.
Leading the Kings team in Oracle Orbs, 121:113, defeated the Golden State Warriors and avenged the previous revenge.
Before the All-Star Game, the Kings achieved a record of 45 wins and 12 losses, and was still behind the Warriors and firmly occupied the second place in the West.
Winning this game greatly increased Li Liang's Kings teammates' confidence.
