Chapter 343: Rebounding Maniac, Strange Schedule
Of course, it wasn't the main reason for the Kings to lose, but on the one hand, the Kings lost more embarrassingly. For example, Reggie Evans, a rebounding maniac, got 20 rebounds.
That's right, rebounding maniac Reggie Evans got 20 rebounds.
This...... It's literal.
Compare Cousins with 10 rebounds, Darko with 11 rebounds, Jason Thompson... With three rebounds, Thompson can literally off.
As an inside line, Jason Thompson was 4 of 13 and Landry was 3 of 8, leaving Qin Yang speechless.
Both of them are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard inside, when they encounter weak chickens, they can still perform, and when they encounter a slightly better inside, they are very scummy, and the Kings of the pit don't want it.
Divine Bird Landry is very athletic, but it's okay to be a substitute impact, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is not qualified.
When you encounter a better inside line, you will definitely be beaten out.
With such a teammate, Qin Yang really can't take it.
The only outstanding performances were Darko and Cosby, who met Creza and played a little out of shape at first, but quickly adjusted, making 5 of 10 shots and 3 of 6 three-pointers in the whole game, scoring 14 points and 2 assists.
Then there was Cousins, who was very restrained defensively, playing 17 minutes and getting five fouls.
Qin Yang didn't expect anything from Cousins anytime soon.
The Kings lost again, and they lost to the Raptors.
Hey?
Why do you say yes?
With only two games in the new season, the Kings are already playing very hard.
After the game, the Kings flew to Cleveland.
On the 30th, the Kings played away against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
In the past two years, Qin Yang has not come to Cleveland much, and each time he has a different experience. In the playoffs last season, Qin Yang originally thought that he would have a big battle with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs, but who knew that the Cavaliers would have XX doors at the critical moment.
James didn't play well and was eliminated by the Hawks.
After that, James decided to 1.0, and Cleveland was completely tragic.
This forgotten city in the United States has once again become a laughing stock, and Cleveland fans are very angry and burn James's jersey, and James has also become a public enemy of Cleveland.
In the offseason, the owner of the Cavaliers also strongly invited Qin Yang to join. But in the end, Qin Yang chose the Cavaliers.
Now that he has come to Cleveland, Qin Yang has mixed feelings in his heart.
The game started with the Kings finally scoring a landslide win on the road.
No way, the Cleveland Cavaliers are too weak now, too weak to ...... Whichever team encounters them will pin them to the ground and rub them.
Some media have said that the Cavaliers have booked the No. 1 pick for next year.
The Cavaliers are weak inside and out, unimaginably weak, and the team's best players are Vallejo and Sessions. Vallejo was previously a substitute for the Cavaliers, and Cessens, En, was barely a qualified starter, but technically a bit of a starter.
As soon as Qin Yang appeared, he played directly Sessions and couldn't take care of himself.
Suppress the Cavaliers strongly.
Cosby played a very cool game, Moon Man Moon is not good at defending players who are good at running, after Cosby is running, he is very smart to catch the ball, and the efficiency is surprising, and the three-point shot is scored one after another.
As a result, Qin Yang easily got the data of 28+18.
Cosby was 8-of-10 from the field and 6-of-7 from three-point range to finish with 22 points.
Cousins finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds on 5-of-10 shooting, but four fouls and five turnovers were enough.
Tyrek Evans was 6 of 20 and still played average.
The Kings finally won comfortably on the road, and the game finally blew away a hint of the gloom on the Kings.
But the Kings still have a lot of problems.
After the game, Qin Yang and his former teammates hugged and celebrated.
Qin Yang didn't say anything bad at the post-match press conference:
"Cleveland fans shouldn't be sad, what the team needs at this time is support and attention, and as long as you are patient, the Cavaliers will eventually come out of the gloom."
But back at home, the Kings host a tough opponent at home, the Lakers.
Although he knew the order of the battle, when the game was about to come, Qin Yang still couldn't help but complain in his heart:
"This schedule is too bad."
After a series of away weak teams, against a strong team at home, this schedule seems to be good.
After all, against a weak team, the away team is not at a big disadvantage, and against a strong team, there is an advantage at home. That's how it is with the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers are not unfettered by such concessions.
But the same schedule doesn't mean the same.
Although the Kings are a weak team away, they flew to all parts of the United States at the beginning, and even went to Toronto, Canada, and there is no time to adjust and recover their state.
When it came to the home court, it was the Lakers.
But...... The Lakers are in Los Angeles, California, and the Kings are in Sacramento, California, and the two positions are very close to each other.
Basically, the Kings, Warriors, Lakers, Clippers, these four Los Angeles teams have basically no disadvantage to each other on the road.
You don't have to fly around tiredly, and the away atmosphere is good.
Therefore, there is no difference between such an away game and a home game.
Being able to play away from home between Californian teams can sometimes be a pleasure.
This treatment was given to the Lakers, not to the Kings.
Similar to this kind of rules, the league likes to play the most, and such things add up and can sometimes play a strong role.
The league has a lot of players, and sometimes you can see it in that kind of detail.
However, compared to other teams, the Lakers and Kings have never had any grudges, and even the game is relatively dull.
But...... Qin Yang came to the Kings.
In the finals just past, Qin Yang relied on his excellent performance to help the Magic team win the championship and shatter the Lakers' dream of defending the title.
Because of this, the Lakers suffered internal and external troubles and almost fell apart.
Many media outlets are reporting that the Lakers are trading Bynum and Pau Gasol for better players to help Kobe Bryant win the championship.
The Lakers are already in a mess.
This is the only reason why Qin Yang feels that the team can win.
Last season, the Magic team had such a strong lineup, united as one, and there was a tendency to be suppressed in the face of the Lakers, and now the Kings lineup is needless to say.
Before the game, when Kobe Bryant was interviewed, he was very murderous:
"I'm looking forward to playing against the Kings. Bruce Qin is our old rival and I won't be polite away from home. ”
Bynum is also brain-dead:
"It's time for revenge."
Avenge? What is there to revenge.
Revenge in the NBA has nothing to do with hatred other than games with questionable penalties and scales. If you lose, you lose, and if you win, it's a big deal.
Kobe never said revenge because Kobe believed he could win it back.
On November 1st, before the official start of the competition.
