Chapter 448: Victory and Defeat

After beating the Pacers, the Kings flew to San Antonio to next face the league's powerhouse, the Spurs.

The Spurs suffered a miserable black eight last season, and the Grizzlies directly beat the Spurs with their strong strength, and the Spurs' GDP combination is very powerful.

But after all, he is older.

At this time, a new core is needed to lead the team.

This season, the Spurs had George Hill swap the Pacers' first-round pick and then select potential rookie Leonard.

Truth be told, Leonard has a very good talent.

Reach, speed, height, all aspects are excellent in the forward position. But potential is potential after all, and the Spurs still need to survive.

At this point, the Spurs are a bit of a struggle.

The inevitable flaws of the small ball market.

This away game was supposed to be a shocking battle.

Qin Yang was ready to use his talent to brutally chisel through the Spurs, but when it came to the game, the Spurs turned out to be hateful.

Ginobili did not play.

Duncan played less than two quarters.

After the Spurs fell behind at halftime, they eliminated the bench and played the game unhurriedly.

The Kings won, but they won awkwardly.

The immature Leonard was taught a lesson by Qin Yang twice, and the Spurs couldn't let go of Qin Yang at all, but the Spurs just admitted defeat, making Qin Yang's 28 points and 11 assists useless.

A punch on the cotton.

The Spurs were shameless, but they made the right choice.

There are some games, knowing that it is difficult to win, and even if you win, it will have an extremely unwanted impact on the team's next games, that... Just put the water in the water.

During this time, you can also train your rookies.

It's just that Kawyn Leonard made 0 of 6 in this game, relying on free throws to get 4 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 turnovers, and his performance was not good.

He also needs to adapt to the NBA.

After the game, Duncan and Qin Yang hugged and said a few words.

Immediately afterwards, at the post-match press conference, Qin Yang said something like this:

"Kawhine Leonard is a talented young man, he has a talent that any player would envy, and he showed that in this game, and if he keeps going, he's going to be one of the best small forwards in the league."

These words were tacit words, Duncan asked Qin Yang to say them.

Qin Yang will not refuse.

This young man named Leonard is humble, hard-working, and the pitch, coupled with a terrifying talent, this kind of player, as long as there are no fatal injuries, is destined to become a superstar.

When Darko was average, Qin Yang also asked Duncan to say something similar.

The alliance is so big, I don't know when we will use each other.

After beating the Spurs, the Kings didn't have a break and flew straight to Memphis to play the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies are old rivals, and they were beaten by Qin Yang in the last game to find their weaknesses.

In this game, Qin Yang thought it would be the same.

But in this game, the Kings were 15 of 42 from the middle and long range, and the Grizzlies simply consumed the Kings little by little.

At this time, another flaw of the Kings appeared.

In the league's games, in fact, close-range shots generally account for five to sixty percent, and few teams have non-stop shots like the Kings.

Shooting is not wrong, but the jump shot team is not good at hand.

It was very sour.

At this time, Qin Yang felt that the team lineup was some, Livingston was very strong, but the breakthrough was average.

At this time, with a breakthrough small man defender, such as Louis Williams, the team will be much easier to play.

Rudy Gay is also good at breaking through, and he can barely complete this task, but he can't play yet, it's simple.

At this time, the team seemed to have forgotten about Rudy Guy, who was sitting on the bench and not saying a word at all.

I don't know when this dark battle of the team will return.

After this game, the team finally had a day to rest.

On January 23, the team flew to Portland again to play the Trail Blazers.

The last time they played against the Trail Blazers, the team won easily and had a season advantage, but this time the game started with the Kings trailing behind.

Marcus Camby defended well on the inside, and LaMarcus Aldridge almost pressed Darko and Cousins to the ground on the offensive end.

Pick up the ball, turn and make a jumper, Aldridge has a very high shooting percentage.

Qin Yang was dumbfounded.

Qin Yang was targeted by the Trailblazers, and Luke Bamot and Wesley Matthews almost took turns to fight, not giving Qin Yang the slightest chance.

In the first quarter, the Kings trailed.

In the second quarter, Jamal Crawford came on.

In the last game, Crawford made 3-of-14 shots when the Trail Blazers were suppressed by the Kings to help the Kings win.

But this time, Crawford broke out.

How strong is Crawford who broke out.

Qin Yang felt that he was not so 66.

Crawford's dribbling is coquettish, his breakthroughs and shots are nonsensical, and he doesn't follow the rules at all.

You can fight as much as you want.

But this can't be prevented.

Qin Yang assisted in defense, and a foul was made.

Crawford dribbled the ball behind his back, forced in a commotion, broke through without looking at people, went in and came out, to the left, and then to the right.

Finally an easy layup.

This kind of talent and aura, Qin Yang can't learn.

This style of play, when the feel and condition are good, you can score anything, and when it is bad, it is to pit teammates, and Crawford is in very good shape in this game.

Therefore, in the second quarter, Qin Yang's 9 points and 4 assists were very powerful, but the score difference was still expanding.

In the third quarter, the difference widened to 22 points, which made people want to cry without tears.

Coach Van Gundy replaced the main team, and the Kings conceded defeat.

After the loss to the Trail Blazers, the Kings didn't care at all, or after the start of the second half, Coach Van Gundy began to practice tactics.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose.

This season's games, extremely hurried, tactical training, have to be put into the game.

Back in Sacramento, with just one day of rest, the Kings host the Nuggets.

The Nuggets are not a strong team, Carmelo Anthony was very depressed after leaving, and the last time they played this season, they were pinned to the ground by the Kings and beaten.

But in this game, Qin Yang felt that the day was over.

At the end of the game, Qin Yang was 11 of 23 and 12 of 14 free throws, scoring 38 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds, but the Kings still lost.

Off the field, Grant Hill and Francisco Garcia and Ray Allen were all taken to the infirmary.

In one game, three people were injured.

This feeling is so uncomfortable.

The Nuggets felt like they had taken the pills, and they were in excellent shape, with seven players scoring in double figures and role players playing well.

The Kings lost helplessly.

This wave of consecutive defeats, Qin Yang felt that he was in pain.

After the game, Qin Yang was interviewed.
