Chapter 520: Losing streak

December 7th.

The Kings host the Magic.

The game was supposed to be a simple one, but after the Magic traded away Howard, the strength dropped dramatically, and the interior starter was Vucevic.

This guy is sharp on the offensive end and a colander on the defensive end.

If Qin Yang is on the court, he can use the pass to drive the team doctor, and the magic team that can play doubts life, but in this game, the Kings played very simply.

Livingston played well during Qin Yang's injury, attacking and passing.

But Livingston's control of the tempo and the distribution of the ball are very problematic.

Inside Cousins and Darko were on the court at the same time, from the previous tacit cooperation, to completely incompatible.

Cousins is in the offensive time, and every time he stands in the high post to ask for the ball.

Singles with the ball in the high post became Cousins' favorite way to score.

As for the defense, Cousins still went aside.

Now Cousins just wants to prove his quality on the offensive end.

However, when Cousins gets the ball high up, whether it's a single or a pass, it's his least efficient way. Very unreliable.

Last season, Cousins averaged 12 points and 10 rebounds per game, which didn't seem to be great offensively, but he played well on the defensive end.

The efficiency value is high.

That's the main reason why Cousins is touted so much.

Now that Qin Yang is away, Cousins is starting to swell.

Why should I be worse than others? I'm the future of the Kings, the league's superstar!

Cousins is a spoiled child, and when Qin Yang is present, he dares to push Qin Yang away at once. On the training ground, he dared to do something to the coach, and he was capricious to the extreme.

Now that Qin Yang is not there, Cousins is very domineering in the team.

In this case, Dakko is completely unable to fight.

The high position has always been the position of Daktronics. On the inside line opposite the high singles, Darko is much more reliable than Cousins, and in terms of high position, Darko has always done better than Cousins, Cousins passes the ball in the high position, often passing to the opponent and going out of bounds.

Against the Magic team with their teeth pulled, the Kings had a tough time.

On the court, Cousins repeatedly pointed at Darko and yelled, and even spoke wildly at David West.

After the game, TNT's lip experts even made an interpretation:

"Idiot, that's my place, get out of here."

"Old fellow, it's my time, get out of the way."

……

Cousins's words did not pass through the brain at all, or that Cousins's brain was not only empty, but also watery.

In this case, Qin Yang had to call to comfort his teammates and call the team's uniform team to put pressure.

However, the situation has not improved.

December 8th.

The Kings take on the Trail Blazers on the road.

LaMarcus Aldridge had a great performance, finishing with 28 points and 13 rebounds, beating Cousins, and Wesley Matthews also scored 21 points from the outside.

What's even more shocking is that rookie Lillard has performed exceptionally well.

This rookie, who has been in college for three years, is very sophisticated if he plays in the NBA for five or six years.

Passing, Attacking, Defending...... Each one is outstanding.

The statistics of 19 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds are far from his on-court performance.

This game also became a symbol of Lillard's rise.

TNT News even made a bold prediction: "There was no suspense about the best rookie of the season, because Anthony Davis also played terrifying statistics in the NBA, but because of Lillard, maybe there is still a little suspense in this trophy." ”

"If it were any other year, Lillard would be a strong contender for Rookie of the Year."

The Trail Blazers wiped out the Kings outright.

It's not a big deal, a lot of teams play well when they're in great shape, but the problems the Kings have shown in the game are a big surprise.

There is very little coordination between the transmission and cutting, and he is obsessed with individual singles.

There is no core.

The offense is chaotic, the defense is chaotic.

For a time, the Kings were hacked by the media.

On December 10, the Kings face the Mavericks on the road.

The Mavericks were not strong, and after winning the championship, the Mavericks made a big trade, but the deal was tragic and led directly to the Mavericks to rebuild.

This season, the Mavericks' offensive trade is all about rebuilding.

Nowitzki was even sidelined with an injury.

It stands to reason that the Kings should have won easily.

But in this case, the Mavericks were all in the game, played very aggressively, and were very oppressive throughout the game.

On the contrary, the Kings had no combat effectiveness and were beaten severely by pressing them to the ground.

The Mavericks had six double-doubles, three scored 7+, and no one scored more than 20, but they played a wonderful team to kill the Kings.

On December 12, the Kings faced the Bucks on the road.

The Bucks are the real belly of the fish.

It's going to be a tough game, but on the pitch, it's not something you can win if you're a strong team.

Ilyasova had 16 points and 12 rebounds in this game, and Cousins wanted to cry without tears.

Cousins is the core, so he doesn't want to let go, and he doesn't want to be this kind of space-based outside line, he directly lets go of the outside line, and he is extremely willful.

The Bucks are in excellent form.

directly suppressed the Kings.

The Kings, who never panicked last season and have always been very scrappy, behaved like a salted fish and were not competitive at all.

Number 14.

The Kings play the Thunder on the road.

In the playoffs, the Thunder was eliminated by the Kings, and the two teams had hatred, and in this game, the Thunder played very ferociously.

Cousins, as the temporary core of the team, did not show any ability to lead the team at all.

The Thunder won 131-97, a very capricious win.

On the 16th, the Kings hosted the Nuggets.

The Nuggets' interior line is not very good, mainly McGee and Kenneth Farred, such an interior line is not ranked among the league's interior lines.

But when it came to the game, the two of them prevented Cousins from crying without tears.

Cousins was 5-of-18 from the field and only had 19 points and 10 rebounds, while McGee had 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks. Kenneth Farid had 9 points and 11 rebounds, and the two managed to keep Cousins at bay.

The interior line was not dominant at all, and the Kings turned out to be losing again.

The Kings have won only one game in six consecutive games and nearly twenty games, and there are many more regular season games, but ......

This season, there are already media predictions that the Kings will not be able to make the playoffs.

In this case, Qin Yang could only come to the office of the manager of the Kings in a wheelchair.

The communication had been done in advance, and when Qin Yang came, the uniform team of the Kings, the team coach Mr. Stan Van Gundy, and the team representatives had already arrived.

After greeting each other and sitting down, Qin Yang spoke directly.

"I think the team has a big problem and it's time to make a trade, otherwise the team will just get weaker and weaker."
