Chapter 436 Aiming to win the championship
After resting for a month and training for five months, after more than half a year, at the beginning of December, the Kings finally ushered in the training camp, and Qin Yang saw all his teammates for the first time.
"Hi everyone, I'm Bruce Qin."
Qin Yang introduced himself, and then the veterans and players of the team introduced themselves one by one. After the introduction, everyone warmed up together.
At this time, the difference between the team and last season came out.
Grant Hill and David West are very good at being people, and they can chat with other players. Grant Hill is a small forward and shooting guard, and he is a competitor with many people in the team. But when Grant Hill talks, Francisco Garcia and Rudy Gay chat happily.
No estrangement and unhappiness.
And don't get annoyed by competition.
The team's newcomer Klay Thompson this year is also good, with a high IQ.
When the team warmed up, the atmosphere was very good.
After the warm-up, Coach Van Gundy first divided everyone into two groups for a simple intra-team competition, and someone from the coaching staff acted as a referee.
The distribution of the game lineup is also very interesting.
Qin Yang took Darko, David West, Klay Thompson and Francisco Garcia against a lineup of Cousins, Grant Hill, Rudy Gay, Ray Allen and Livingston.
This lineup can be regarded as evenly matched.
But as soon as the game started, Qin Yang's side had an absolute lead.
Qin Yang plays very steadily and distributes the ball very reasonably. David West's mid-range shot is very accurate. Qin Yang used to envy David West and Chris Paul when he saw David West and Chris Paul. Now that he is his teammate, Qin Yang is more at ease.
In the middle distance, David West hit three directly in a row, which made Cousins disgraced.
Klay Thompson was also a bonus.
This player who defends well has incredible talent in shooting.
After receiving the pass from Qin Yang, Klay Thompson kept hitting three-pointers with a very high percentage.But in terms of shooting percentage, it is no weaker than Ray Allen.
Although the five people led by Qin Yang were unfamiliar with each other, they did a very good job as a whole.
The offensive end is quite smooth, and the strength of the players is also good.
When encountering a critical problem, Qin Yang can directly force a single, and the opponent is very depressed.
On the contrary, Qin Yang's opposing lineup was very strong, but he didn't perform well.
Grant Hill and Ray Allen wanted to distribute the ball, but something went wrong as soon as the ball reached Cousins and Gay.
Cousins has improved a lot in the off-season and has done a lot of training. The thing he has done most this season is singles with the ball.
but……
Cousins' singles is to catch the ball in Gaowei, and then use the defender's technical singles to hit the opponent.
What's even more depressing is that Cousins' shot selection is very poor. He always likes to make mid-range shots against defensive players. Mid-range shots are the least efficient way for Cousins to attack.
But Cousins didn't realize it.
Also depressed is Rudy Gay.
Gay's original template was McGrady, but after a few seasons, Gay has been kicked out. Gay's physical fitness is really good, but he doesn't care enough on the defensive end, and his offensive options are too poor.
Don't pass when it's time to pass, and must break through when it's time to shoot.
Qin Yang was quite speechless.
The lineup of the Kings seems to be good, but in fact, there are still great hidden dangers
Coach Van Gundy left after watching the players' performance and roughly corresponding to the player's evaluation.
Coach Van Gundy is more akin to academics.
After getting the technical characteristics of each player, what I want is to reasonably allocate tactics according to the technical characteristics.
Before the season, coach Van Gundy will definitely arrange at least twenty or more common tactics.
That's how it was with the Magic.
After the first day of joint training, Qin Yang took his teammates to dinner.
By the way, the coaching staff of the team was also brought along.
The coaching staff left together after a hasty meal, and the rest were the Kings players.
At this time, the players also let go.
Qin Yang stood up, took the juice, and said to everyone:
"This season, the Kings have a lot of players coming in and out, but I think the team is very strong. Last season, the Kings were able to enter the playoffs. This season, the Kings' only goal is to win the championship. Failure to win the championship is failure."
Qin Yang's words instantly shocked the other players.
The veteran players who joined the Kings all thought that the Kings were good, and Qin Yang had a better reputation among other players.
Same goes for Grant Hill and David West.
But when it comes to winning the championship, it's not that I don't want to, but that it's too difficult.
As for the other newcomers, they were caught off guard.
Darko, Cousins, Casspi, and Klay Thompson were stunned and then excited.
"Aww! Win the championship, win the championship!"
The brainless Cousins yelled directly, and the atmosphere suddenly became active.
Qin Yang knocked on the table, Cousins became quiet, and then Qin Yang continued: "I know everyone thinks it is difficult for the Kings to win the championship this season, but I don't think so. I understand all the players here."
"Inside Darko, Cousins, and David West don't have to be inferior to anyone."
"Caspi, Garcia, Grant Hill, Ray, are the most suitable players in the league to partner with me."
"Klay Thompson and Hassan Whiteside also have unbelievable potential."
"Including me, as long as the Kings cooperate well this year, they will definitely win the championship. I have such confidence."
Qin Yang is very confident.
Very angry when speaking.
Not to mention anything else, just to win the championship.
If others say this, they will definitely be ridiculed.
But Qin Yang is different. After entering the league for three seasons, Qin Yang entered the finals in the first year and unfortunately lost. However, he shocked the league with [-] points in a single quarter in the playoffs.In the second year of entering the league, Qin Yang and Howard formed a super combination of inside and outside lines and successfully won the championship. Although this combination was short-lived, many people think that it is not necessary to be an OK combination to be bad.
Last year, Qin Yang entered the Kings, scored 70 points in a single game, led the Kings to win [-] more games than last season, and won the regular season MVP unbelievably.
Because of this, people believed Qin Yang's words.
Ray Allen and David West are very happy.
They were originally meant to win the championship, and not winning the championship is actually a failure.
It's a pity that the teams that have the strength to win the championship in the league may not like the two of them, so the two eventually joined the Kings.
Qin Yang's character accumulated in the alliance for three years finally paid off.
Compared with going to the Heat to be completely role players, Ray Allen and David West obviously have more playing time and are more important when they come to the Kings.
After the team training camp, there is no preseason game at all.
There wasn't much time for joint practice, and the regular season was directly ushered in.
And this year's regular season is quite difficult.
With three months less than usual, each team needs to play more games in less time.
Back-to-backs became the norm.
The running-in of rookies and the running-in between teams have become very difficult.
Coach Van Gundy arranged a few simple tactics for the team in a short period of time, and the remaining tactics can only be understood a little bit.
