The Kings are an all-young team with little playoff experience, and the boys are desperate to get back into the game and start a mess, and the more chaotic it is, the harder it is to ensure scoring efficiency. At halftime, the Clippers led by 19 points, 65-46.

In the second half, Irving began to exert his power, and even sudden shots once narrowed the gap to 8 points, but Curry, Gay, and Parsons quickly returned a wave of 10-0.

After that, Cousins, who likes to stretch out his hands indiscriminately, fell into foul trouble, and after the break, the Kings couldn't set off any more storms, and the Clippers locked up the win in waves, and Cousins didn't have to play again.

In garbage time, Isaiah Thomas led the team, and his individual ability could only make the point difference not widen further. 123-102 in the final game, the Clippers got off to a good start.

After the game, Yang Rui summed up the reasons for the Clippers' win in one sentence. "The playoffs are different from the regular season."

Poor defense in the regular season may be able to achieve good results, but in the playoffs, poor defense will definitely be a dead end.

The regular season is a game of drilling, showing, and selling tickets, and unless a player is selected as an All-Star, crowned in a certain statistic, and wins the MVP, it is difficult to be remembered. If you want to become a superstar, you have to play convincing performances in the playoffs, so the playoffs are more valuable and the players are more desperate.

This is equivalent to the difference between the mock test and the college entrance examination. The king is just making a living in the mock test, how can he compete against the Clippers, who have been the No. 1 student for two consecutive years?

The Clippers won the second game of the two sides more neatly, Cousins only played 3 minutes in the opening game and then committed two fouls at the break, and the Kings' defense in the restricted area was full of holes, and the Clippers took an 18-point lead in the first quarter.

The referee of this game targeted Cousins because he went crazy at the press conference on the court, and actually sarcastically mocked the referee, thanking the referee for letting him live, and alluding to blowing him for too many fouls.

The reporter asked Cousins to evaluate the Clippers and Yang Rui, and the arrogant "cousin" didn't care whether the Clippers were the defending champions, whether Yang Rui was the basketball pope or something, he snorted, his expression was disdainful, and he didn't look at the camera.

Now, the referee doesn't plan to let Cousins live anymore, and he blows for a foul as soon as he makes a move, and you go with peace of mind.

In the second quarter, Cousins returned to the court and did not play at his normal level, feeling cold under Chandler's defense, and hitting iron continuously.

Chandler is not as strong as Cousins, but he has experience and knows how to fight. He will use small actions such as leg bending and elbow to defend, and the referee generally does not blow it, and the playoff scale is generally looser.

Cousins was emotionally out of control, and after he missed a turnaround shot in the third quarter, he grabbed a rebound and pushed Chandler hard, and was whistled for a foul.

Cousins slammed the ball to the ground and angrily sprayed the referee: "Why didn't you blow it when he pushed me just now?" Are you blind? ”

The referee didn't get angry with Cousins and made up another technical foul, Mike Malone hurriedly replaced the goods and didn't let him play again, he only played 17 minutes in the whole game, got 8 points, 5 rebounds and 4 fouls.

Letting Cousins continue to play may be in trouble, and this is not the first time he has scolded the referee.

On February 26, the Rockets played away against the Kings, the Rockets maintained a more than 20-point advantage in the early part of the third quarter, Cousins, who had committed 5 fouls, was completely out of control, and he was angry and wanted to hit the referee during the pause.

Cousins was furious and angrily threw the headband out of the field as he was pulled off the field.

Today, seeing Cousins sitting on the sidelines angrily, throwing towels angrily, Yang Rui felt very funny, this person is too easy to deal with. Compared to other players who have all kinds of flaws on the court and need to work hard to succeed, Cousins is a real waste of talent, because he is a dominant super center as long as he is mentally right.

Brains are a good thing, but it's a pity Cousins doesn't.

The Clippers led by 30 points into the final quarter, and Yang Rui replaced all the main players and began to practice, and finally won the Kings by 37 points.

The third game between the two sides was held in Sacramento, because of the different defensive intensity encountered, the Kings' offense was still inferior to the regular season, and they couldn't prevent the Clippers' offense, losing by 17 points and falling behind 0-3 in the overall score.

In the fourth game, Cousins played 28 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, but unfortunately, the Kings outside players couldn't find a crosshair, and they shot 5 of 24 three-pointers.

The Clippers players also didn't have a high shooting percentage, and Curry was 2-of-11 from three-point range, but the Clippers relied on excellent defense to have the last laugh at 104-96 and complete the sweep.

As online fans discuss the game, Irving has gone from being a strongman not inferior to Curry to a second-rate star guard with no brains.

Irving's breakthrough ability is indeed strong, but his first choice is to shoot by himself, rather than sharing the ball, his organizational skills are average, more like a scoring guard, and his ability to drive his teammates is slightly inferior.

In addition, Owen's acting skills are not good, and he lacks the self-cultivation of an actor. He is not afraid of confrontation, but he likes to lean on the opponent's big man to move to the basket, and he is not good at making fouls. When Owen stops pulling the lever and rushes straight into the big loop, he will score more points and be more lethal.

In the competition of interior stars, Griffin stabilized 20+10 and played better than Cousins.

In the sixth-man competition, Gay averaged 16 points per game and was slightly inferior to the regular season, but his shooting rate was 48%, which was praised by countless people; Isaiah Thomas is averaging 17.5 points and 7 assists per game, shooting less than 40 percent from the field, which is much lower than Guy's, and people say that he is a defensive black hole, even though he has worked defense.

After the game, Yang Rui praised the players of his team, and the outside line mainly said Middleton and Danny Green. Curry and Griffin split the ball, and the two were particularly solid in their catch-and-shoot shots, providing consistent three-point firepower every game.

Yang Rui praised Farid in particular, who averaged 13 points and 10.5 rebounds in 27 minutes per game in this series, including four frontcourt rebounds, and shot 53.3% from the field.

Farid must appear in garbage time, which was deliberately arranged by Yang Rui, just looking at the data, he is too strong, and the value of trading chips in the summer must be very high.

Yang Rui has decided to send Farid away in the summer, and then ask him for his opinion to go to a team that he is willing to renew and can get a lot of playing time, in exchange for potential players, and strive to achieve a win-win situation.

Evaluating the opponent, Yang Rui did not fall into the trap and praised the young players of the king a few words.

'They all have great talent, but if you want to win, you can't just attack, they have to defend more effectively, it depends on the attitude and training in the future, good luck to them.'

The Sacramento reporter asked, "Does the Kings have a player you want to coach?" ”

Yang Rui smiled: "Keep it secret, if I say it, I'm afraid that I will completely lose the opportunity to coach this player." ”

The king really has a person Yang Rui wants to coach, that is the 175CM tall Thomas, if it wasn't for the king in the draft that year, the Clippers would definitely select him at the last place.

When Thomas' contract expires, it will be difficult to get a high-salary extension even if the data is good, because his physical flaws are too obvious and the defensive end is a black hole. However, the player's strengths are as obvious as their weaknesses, with a super-offensive ability with the ball and a sharp break that can tear through the opponent's defence, score points on his own or assist a team-mate.

Thomas is the starter, the team is unlikely to win the championship, and he is qualified as a substitute, which can enrich the team's tactics and make the opponent unguardable.

The rest of the Kings Yang Rui doesn't think about it, no matter how good Irving is, there is already Curry on the team; Barnes is a second-rate star at the ceiling, and his offensive ability is not as good as Guy's; Ben McLemore is not qualified against the competition, and the high pick is because of the young year of the draft; As for Cousins, who has the best body, hehe......
