Tactical training.

The team's main defensive training, including the team's defensive positioning, defensive strategy, etc., although Qin Yang is not a coach, it can be seen that Paul Westphall still has some achievements in adjusting the defense.

And unlike Coach Van Gundy's passionate and straightforward, Coach McBrown emphasizes confrontation, while Coach Westafar pays more attention to tactics and is more elegant and delicate.

In just one or two hours, Qin Yang discovered Coach Westphal's greatest strength, which is good at communication.

No matter what mistakes happen to the players, Westphall will not reprimand and make noise, but will call the players aside to calm down and communicate.

At this point, Westphall did better than Qin Yang met the previous two coaches.

But it is clear that in terms of defensive adjustment, Westphall is not mature enough to form its own system, and in terms of offense, Westphal does not have a relatively complete idea.

The Kings still have a long way to go.

However, although the complete tactics have not been determined, the general idea is there.

The combination of inside and outside, mainly on the outside, is the core of the Kings team.

The only boss of the Kings team now is Qin Yang, and the second is Terek Evans, but Tyrek Evans' performance has declined one after another, and his personality is not suitable to be the boss.

Inside, the Kings focus on Cousins.

Qin Yang is very clear about this matter.

However, in the team's training matches, the Kings did not perform well, both offensively and defensively were very messy.

Qin Yang played well, no matter who met Qin Yang on the outside, he was pressed to the ground and rubbed.

The only one who can slightly restrict Qin Yang is Terek Evans. The rookie, who performed very well last year, is very strong, and the offense is very strong in breaking and finishing under the basket, which is a bit like James.

The biggest obstacle for Qin Yang to join the Kings is actually none other than Terek Evans.

Many people think that this season the Kings will support Terek Evans and make Terek Evans the boss of the Kings, but the Kings use their own actions to support Qin Yang to become the boss of the Kings. Tyrek Evans will be more fixed to shooting guards and small forwards this season.

During the tactical drill, the Kings started with three people, point guard Qin Yang, scoring guard Terek Evans, and interior DeMarcus Cousins.

In addition, there are too many people in the small forward position, and the strength is not much different, in the big forward position, the Divine Bird, Hawes and Darko have their own characteristics, compared to Jason Thompson, who averaged 12+9 data per game last season, which was affirmed by the coach.

In such an environment, the NBA preseason begins.

October 6th.

The Kings play the Suns away.

The Suns have lost power forward Stoudemire this season, and the media generally believes that the strength of the Suns will be greatly reduced, and the strength of the Kings will be greatly improved after Qin Yang joins, and this game should be at least a close game.

But when it came to the game, the Kings were in a big game.

Qin Yang played for 8 minutes and played soy sauce for a while.

After Qin Yang went off the court, the Kings collapsed directly.

Each player plays their own game, there is no system at all, Jason Thompson plays hard with the ball, the shooting rate is very low, Hawes plays a few minutes, it is completely a colander, and the biggest role of this retired center is to stabilize the locker room.

Cosby didn't play well either, and couldn't find his rhythm on the pitch at all.

Yudri was completely blown up by Dragic and Nash. The same tragedy is Rutherhead, a former Rockets player, Qin Yang knows a little, Yao Ming once complained to Qin Yang about the Rockets' point guards, none of them can pass the ball, Rutherhead is one of the representatives.

The Rockets like point guards who are short, fast, and can attack, and as for passing, what is that for, I don't know at all.

In the first game, the Kings lost miserably.

What's even more embarrassing is that DeMarcus Cousins had a technical foul in the middle of the game and almost got into a fight with Lopez Jr. of the Suns.

After the game, Qin Yang found Nash and apologized to Lopez Jr. instead of Cousins.

In the first game, this boss was really aggrieved.

The inconsequential preseason, if you lose, you lose, it doesn't seem to be much of a problem, but Qin Yang feels that something is wrong within the team.

Tyrek Evans is really not suitable to be the boss, and after losing the game, he didn't say anything at all, and clocked in and out normally.

The team's predecessors were not frustrated or disgruntled at all.

As if losing was a matter of course.

This made Qin Yang feel very aggrieved, in the Cavaliers and the Magic team, in 82 games a season, the team has achieved at least 60+ victories, it can be said that there are very few failed games, and every time you lose a game, you will feel slightly uncomfortable.

Victory, sometimes a habit.

The Kings are in such a bad environment.

On the 8th, the Kings played the Clippers on the road.

Also in the preseason, Qin Yang played 5 minutes, and most of the time was handed over to the rookie and the rest of the team's main players to play.

But the Kings were humiliated on the road.

Tyrek Evans, as the centerpiece of the court, was defended by an El Aminu 2-of-13 shooting, and Eric Gordon and Bledsoe completely blew up the Kings from the outside.

The Kings interior was ravaged by rookie Blake Griffin, who was reimbursed for a season last year.

In just two games, Griffin's shocking dunk has attracted countless fans and media, and the Clippers dunk Griffin, who got 20+10 data in this game, led the team to victory.

The Kings lost another game.

It's not terrible to lose, it's scary to get used to losing, and to get used to losing.

The team's head coach Westphal's biggest flaw at this time also leaked out, not decisive enough, even if the players did not play well on the field, they still would not make substitutions, even if the players obviously had other ideas, they still did not dare not let the players play.

Westphale is too soft, too easy to communicate, not iron-willed enough.

The atmosphere inside the Kings is not conflicting, but it is too loose.

It's completely a salted fish posture, and it's okay to get by.

This made Qin Yang hold back a fire in his heart.

On the 11th, Game 3 of the preseason, the Kings hosted the Warriors.

In this game, the Kings finally won.

Tyrek Evans, Lutherhead, and Jason Thompson all played well, getting 20+ data, the Warriors' two-guard lineup defense was very poor, and the interior defense was almost airy, and the Kings finally ushered in an extraordinary victory at home.

But after the victory, Qin Yang was not happy at all.

This X**D tactic can win, and it is pure luck.

If it were another team, the Kings would definitely lose and not find North.

After Qin Yang's depressed mood, the preseason was still going smoothly, and the next game against the Warriors, Lakers, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Nets, and Cavaliers only got one victory.
