"The best of the week is here! Banzai!!! ”

Sacramento, the center of the Kings team.

The first week of the new season passed quickly, and there was no game on the second day, and the Kings players gathered together, all around Gu Yu with their big backs, shouting for Gu Yu to have a treat.

"It's okay to have a treat! But we're all professionals, so we can't eat everything, right? Now it's just the beginning of the new season, and we need to control our diet! So I recommend ......"

Gu Yu, who had just signed a big contract in the offseason, generously agreed, but with a roll of his eyes, he looked at the Diao people around him and said, "Do we eat nutritious meals or not?" ”

“…… You're going to die!! ”

Accompanied by the laughter of nutritionist Koke, the players scolded in unison, and for a while, countless middle fingers rushed at Gu Yu, and the scene was full of laughter.

In the first week of the game, the Sacramento Kings, the team that played the league's No. 1 offensive level last season when most people were not favored, brought an extremely violent shock performance to the NBA league in the new season.

With a stormy offense, the Kings continued last season's style of bombardment, as soon as they got on the court, as long as the opponent's defense had the slightest problem, the Kings players would seize the opportunity to beat them up and beat them to the death without mercy.

In addition, the Kings have ushered in a rather significant change.

Last season, the Kings were able to use offense to break down most of the team's defensive line and win. But as long as the opponent's offense is above the standard, the king's own defense is like a sieve, making people take what they want.

Moreover, the Kings also have a very special attribute, that is, when facing strong teams, they can always explode in a small universe, play a very dazzling game performance, and even win the game in an upset.

But when facing some teams with similar strength to themselves, or even weaker than themselves, the young people of the Kings will always be a little careless. It seems that they are determined in their hearts that as long as they play their own style and take out their opponents with a wild attack, victory will definitely be in the bag.

However, the reality is cruel.

Because of problems on the defensive end and continuity, the Kings lost a lot of games last season that they shouldn't have lost. The final result was surprisingly good, but for the Kings themselves, they were not satisfied.

This season, one of these two situations has been greatly improved.

“…… If the opponent cuts to the ribs, generally speaking, there will be a point of possession on the strong side to attack, and there will be a setter near the top of the arc to receive the ball, waiting for an opportunity to pass. At this time, your defensive attention, in addition to watching your own defensive object, has to take into account how much to cut off the opponent's strong and weak side transitions. ”

After a short break, the players continued their recovery exercises.

Gu Yu, like all the rest days before this season, immediately ran to Garcia's side and began to ask for defensive problems.

"Why?"

Listening to Garcia's statement, Gu Yu was a little puzzled and asked: "If the strong and weak sides are transferred, we have a cousin on the inside, and it is unlikely that their rib cuts will directly impact the basket, I just need to bite the step and force the opponent to throw difficult balls that I am not good at!" Cutting off the passing route, does it make a big sense? ”

"It means a lot."

Although Garcia is getting older and his defensive effectiveness on the court is weakening, his years of defensive experience are still there. Especially in the judgment of the situation, the handling of small details is still much more delicate than the frizzy Gu Yu, and it is quite appropriate to point out Gu Yu.

"You don't cut their transfer ball, the opponent can easily complete the strong and weak side conversion, and from the subsequent results, you are right, we have DeMarcus under the basket, which can indeed prevent the opponent from scoring quickly. Only from the follow-up progress on the weak side, it is not cut, and the problem is not big. ”

Garcia teaches quite seriously, and he knows very well that although Gu Yu is very smug and thinks of what he wants to say on weekdays, this spirit of studying basketball is real.

As a senior, being able to bring some experience help to the younger generation and help the younger generation grow up quickly may be the most gratifying thing in the life of a player of Garcia's level.

"But we worked so the strong side to force the other side to think about moving the ball, which proves that our strong side defense was successful, right? After the defense is successful, the next step is to force the opponent to make mistakes, or hit the iron, and we play the counterattack. If your side does not defend the transfer of the strong and weak sides, and the opponent makes a horizontal pass, everything starts from the beginning, so the defense before our strong side has become useless? ? ”

“…… That's a sharp angle! ”

Gu Yu nodded frequently when he heard this.

I have to say that although with the guidance of Kobe and Big Bird, coupled with Gu Yu's own hard work, his personal single defense strength has been greatly improved. But in terms of judging the situation on the defensive end, Gu Yu still has a lot of problems.

However, all this is not a big problem.

Last season, the Kings always began to lose at the No. 2 position, and were caught by the opponent and chased hard, and in the failed game, Gu Yu's pot still couldn't escape.

But this season, Gu Yu can at least contribute an average level of defense, which is not a loophole, and the overall defense of the Kings team has immediately reached a new level.

"Evans, cousin, Garcia, Thompson, Cousins, in this lineup, Garcia and Cousins are strong defensive points, and the other three positions are not at a loss. Although the Kings are not yet a strong defensive team, the Kings' defense is no longer the state of 'anyone can beat up' last year......"

On the side of the training ground, Xiao Yu bit the pen and carefully wrote the manuscript. From time to time, he raised his beautiful eyes to look at the serious Gu Yu, and he didn't know why, but there was always an almost sweet feeling.

As a reporter for the Kings, Xiao Yu has completely won the trust of everyone on the Kings team after two seasons of hard work and has gained a lot of privileges. Some old reporters have no way to enter the area, Xiao Yu is unimpeded, the inside information he gets, and the first-hand picture information he sees are incomparable to other reporters.

And Xiao Yu also used his professional ethics to repay the trust of the Kings from top to bottom. Some things that obviously can't be said outside, Xiao Yu will not broadcast anything, the team hopes that she will cooperate with the activities of the propaganda offensive, Xiao Yu will also try her best to fight for the broadcast layout of the headquarters, and the two sides can be said to cooperate seamlessly.

Xiao Yu is on her own side, she can follow Gu Yu, a traffic monster, to collect news around the clock, absorbing Gu Yu's dynamite barrel and going straight to and fro, as well as her comedian style, her reporting is also very distinctive, and now she has been regarded by many fans as "the most personal sports reporter", and she has won countless awards in the past two years.

On this day, the league officially announced that the Player of the Week in the first week of the new season was won by Gu Yu of the Kings and James Harden, who just switched to the Rockets in the offseason. One is a scoring maniac who scores like hemp and personal heroism, and the other is an atypical quantile with a smart and witty way of playing and sharing the ball first, this set of interesting comparisons gave Xiao Yu new inspiration.

"James Harden, who practiced his own personal style in the Rockets, played a new tactical positioning of 'ball control position', which was loved by many people. And 'cousin' Gu Yu is going more and more smoothly on the road of maximizing his personal attack power, and in the first week of the new season, he has already written his name on the top ten list in history! ”

The top 10 and top two single-game scoring lists in history are familiar to everyone. Xiao Yu decided not to make a fuss from the data, but from the perspective of the "victims" in these super individual score shows.

Coach Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game, the victim - the New York Knicks.

Kobe Bryant's 81 points, victim - Toronto Raptors.

Skywalker David Thompson's 73 points, victim - Detroit Pistons.

The 71 points of the human tragedy Elgin Baylor, the victim - again the New York Knicks.

Admiral David Robinson's 71 points, victim - Los Angeles Clippers.

Michael Jordan's 69 points, victim - Cleveland Cavaliers.

Pistol Pete Maravich's 68 points, and the victim — you guess it — was the New York Knicks.

Further back, the eighth in history:

Gu Yu, 65 points, victim - San Antonio Spurs.

"That's amazing~!"

Writing this, Xiao Yu glanced at Gu Yu, who was discussing with Garcia to teach the defensive ball holder the test step skills, a sweet smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and a small peach heart was drawn next to Gu Yu's name.

After that, Jerry West, George Gervin, and Joe Fox all scored 63 points in a single game. Among them, West's 63-point game, the victim — as you might have guessed — was the New York Knicks......

This week, he averaged an astonishing 41.3 points per game, leading the team to complete a four-game winning streak in the opening season, and his cousin Gu Yu, with his indisputable performance, has become the hottest star in the Western Conference at present. Just tomorrow night, the Kings will fly to the space city of Houston to take on James Harden, who has also just become the absolute core of the team, and his Rockets. The confrontation between two styles of play and the collision of two completely different basketball concepts, who can win? Let's wait and see! ”

After brushing and writing, Xiao Yu read the manuscript again, felt that it was not bad, closed the notebook and got up, ready to say goodbye to Gu Yu, and go back to edit the film.

But before Xiaoyu's greeting could be shouted, the door of the training ground was pushed open.

“…… I'm going to say it's hard for that guy to talk to, anyway, it's a business partnership, and we won't have any problems with the team. The problem is ......"

Extremely rarely, manager Petri, appeared on the sidelines of the training ground.

"The question is whether you can convince that weird guy ......"

As he spoke, Petri glanced at Gu Yu, who was still practicing, and his expression was complicated.

"Haha, it's okay!"

The person who came was a yellow-skinned Chinese, his expression was quite relaxed, and he nodded at Petri with a smile and said, "Leave it to me, my cousin and I are both Chinese, and it must be no problem to communicate!" ”

Who is this man......?

Xiao Yu frowned slightly, searched around the memory bank, but failed to find the answer.

The Chinese circle in Sacramento is very large and there are many people, but there are only a handful of people who can have the ability, under the recommendation of Petry, to go directly to the training ground to talk to Gu Yu about things.

As a journalist who has been rooted in the local area for more than two years, Xiao Yu is familiar with these people. But this face is very young and not on any list in Xiao Yu's heart.

It seems that this person is a typical post-80s generation who stayed abroad, dressed up not for business, and even a little sporty, and doesn't look like a businessman who will come to talk about cooperation with the team.

The smile on this person's face is a little shy, but he speaks more confidently, as if he was originally a somewhat introverted otaku, but later because of work, he practiced his communication skills.

Xiao Yu is confident that she can see people very accurately, in her opinion, this person is likely to be a highly educated Internet entrepreneur.

But in the United States, what are the emerging websites founded by Chinese? It doesn't seem like much!

Who the hell is this man......

"Hello, cousin!"

Thinking about it, this person had already come to Gu Yu's vicinity, and beckoned to Gu Yu: "I'm sorry to disturb your practice!" My name is Chen Hang, I opened a basketball website in my motherland, I want to talk to you about cooperation, our website is called Goupu! ”
