Things like the All-Star Ticket King depend on people more.

Some people can attract fans by playing style and personality, even if they don’t have a championship or honor, or even have low qualifications, such as Grant Hill, who was elected as the All-Star voter in the rookie season, and twice in a row, still beat Jordan, the former All-Star voter in the seventh consecutive All-Star voter.

Some people also rely on strong backing to win the vote king, such as Yao Yao, who can be elected by Chinese fans by randomly investing.

But since the NBA no longer counts all-star votes for Chinese fans and the gradual rise of new media, the All-Star vote king has gradually become a requirement for strength and style, and has to rely on media operation methods. The chances have been greatly reduced. The NBA has never seen any players who rely on playing style and backing to be the vote king. The closest one is Griffin, who is very popular in the rookie season, far surpassing the Fat Tiger.

Su Yang thought about it and had not played against the Warriors recently, so he had to continue to let Curry go and attract more fans.

Three days off, January 4th, the Kings play against the Pistons.

Maybe it was because he successfully sent away the cancer Josh Smith, confirmed that with Monroe and Drummond as the core of the inside line, the Pistons' recent record was still good, defeating the strong team Pacers, the new team Cavaliers and Magic, as well as the bad team Knicks, and won four consecutive victories.

The Pistons' new head coach Stan Van Gundy was interviewed before the game and bluntly stated that the team will respond to the last defeat against the Kings.

The new general manager Jeff Ball, the strong rival Pistons, officially completed the reconstruction and will make every effort to make the playoffs and have a bright future.

As a guest of TNT, the legendary Isaiah Thomas personally visited the Auburn Palace to explain, and made a bold statement that he would fight with the king for 55% of his strength.

The game started at 7:30, and the King quickly made a 16-0 move.

It's not that the Kings played hard, Curry hadn't even made a three-pointer yet, and Drummond's offense and defense was too good to be confronted at all. Cousins ​​easily scored at the low post like drinking water, and his defense was also easy to limit, and he once blocked shots and steals.

Drummond is good at grabbing rebounds, but unfortunately the Kings are too efficient in scoring, so he only scored two with all his strength.

Another starter of the Pistons, Kyle Singler, was also a defensive colander. Antetokounmpo rushed forward as if he was playing in a training match, without any obstacles.

As for Sing Mambapop and the only James Jennings, the three-pointers were both high and low. Su Yang asked the players to boldly shrink the inside and the momentum was full, causing the two to play in the half-time game, making 2 of 10 three-pointers, which was awkward.

In the second half, the Pistons struggled hard but had no effect. The Kings finally won easily 119 to 95.

Curry made 9 of 11 three-pointers, scoring 36 points, 8 assists and 3 steals in the whole game, which is more than ten times better than Jennings, who was also selected in 2009. TNT Live caused trouble and actually released screenshots of news reports that Jennings scored 55 points against the Warriors that year.

Curry only had 21 points in that game, made 0 of 4 three-pointers and made 3 mistakes, which were two levels behind Jennings. At that time, many media and fans mocked the Warriors for choosing the wrong person. In comparison with the past and the present, everything seemed so sad.

After the press conference, Su Yang saw many fans spontaneously reprinting the video of Curry's three-pointer against the Pistons.

The topic became more popular.

Many fans lamented that Curry's three-point shooting distance was too far. If he went to play in the 1980s, the absolute dimensional reduction attack would have allowed many teams to arrange two players to follow him at all times, otherwise he would take three-pointers at will.

Su Yangxin said that fans are still young and will be shown by Lillard and Trae Young in a few years what is a truly long three-pointer.

What's more, Curry's three-pointers have never been famous for being far, but rather fast and unexpected, and the combination of man and ball is too good.

But no matter what, just give Curry more votes.

After a day off, the king resumed training.

Su Yang rushed to the training base early and pulled the scouts to have a meeting as usual. When he entered the door, he saw everyone discussing hotly on his phone.

"A sudden! The Rockets announced the dismissal of head coach McHale and invited Mike Malone to serve as head coach. James Harden expressed regret for McHale's departure and welcomed Malone to join. Rockets boss Alexander claimed that this was a time..."

Shocked!

Alexander was willing to spend more money to fire the head coach during the contract execution, and the butterfly effect was too fierce.

Su Yang sat down, scout subjective Brage continued: "The Kings' bold reform and profitability, especially the 20-year naming fee of Gold One Group, which has allowed Rockets boss Alexander to increase his confidence in completely transforming the Rockets. In the future, they will no longer be limited to pursuing profits smoothly, but will be more aggressive. The dismissal of McHale is just the beginning..."

Coaches such as Mike Brown and everyone in the scouting department sighed that the Kings performed too hard and reached the Western Conference Finals in one year.

More importantly, the Kings made a lot of money, and were not restricted by the small ball market, allowing many teams to explore new ideas.

"Mike Malone's rich experience during his tenure as chief assistant coach was the main reason for the Rockets to take a fancy to him. Rockets general manager Morey also promised not to consider the Magic Ball theory for the time being, and the draft trade will refer to the coaching staff and players' suggestions..."

The big victory in the Christmas battle for profession made the Rockets decide to change, and even Morey changed over, which was too cruel.

While talking, everyone ended their chat.

Su Yang's summary complaint: "The Rockets will become stronger and stronger, but they are familiar with all the offensive and defensive routines of Mike and Malone. Mike Brown also knows him very well. In addition, I also know James and Harden very well, unless they can find another superstar of that year..."

As Mike Malone's former head coach, Mike Brown took the lead in laughing, and the atmosphere in the office was both relaxed and pleasant.

Many media and fans simultaneously commented on the Rockets' change of coaches.

The mainstream view is that Malone will find ways to reduce Harden's ball usage rate, design more tactics for Ariza and others, and may reuse Corey Brewer, and even let Howard recreate his style as the first center back then to ensure that the Rockets stabilize third in the West.

No. 7, the Kings face the Thunder at home.

League vice president Mark Tatum flew to Satham, and before the opening, he awarded Su Yang the best coach of the December, Curry the best player in the West in December, and LaVine the best rookie in the West in December, giving the Kings another three-game happiness.

As the game started, Durant and Westbrook both congratulated Su Yang, which made Thunder coach Brooks a little embarrassed.

But Brooks' bigger problem is to properly handle Reggie Jackson's ball rights and playing time, and the related transactions have been formed.

At 8 o'clock, the competition was officially held.

The Kings still slammed Durant's internal defense strategy, Westbrook made continuous shots and made iron shots, Durant's forced singles efficiency was also very low. Reggie and Morro, who were substitutes, were more fierce than Westbrook's iron shots, and the Kings played with him and led 28-16 in the first quarter.

As the game entered the second quarter, Durant found his state difficult, and Reggie also found the rhythm because of a large number of ball controls. In addition, Ibaka scored two consecutive long shots, and the Thunder's scoring efficiency increased sharply. However, the Kings still firmly implemented the strategy arranged by Su Yang.

The two teams ended the second quarter with a tie. The Thunder suddenly made a crazi blow again in the third quarter, and the king could not stop him from defending his life.

The Kings entered the fourth quarter with a 21-point lead.

Su Yang himself was surprised, and Curry played more and more smoothly. He advanced twice in a row and made a three-pointer, completely destroying the Thunder's resistance momentum. The Kings finally defeated the Thunder 104-83, winning a seven-game winning streak, and Curry scored 36 points.

After the game, he attended a press conference and asked the Kings why they won. Su Yang said that the Thunder's playing style was too simple, so he simply learned from the Rockets. Taking advantage of Brooks' contract only a few months left, he fired him in advance and replaced him with other head coaches to try, otherwise he would stop in the second round.

But he said, "Thunder's luck is a little worse. I know Westbrook. It's not his normal level to make 3 of 19 shots..."

Unexpectedly, after a while the report was posted, some fans left comments: That was Westbrook's normal level.

At noon the next day, NBA announced the third round of the 2015 All-Star Voting. Curry surpassed LeBron for the first time with 981,327 votes, temporarily leading the league. Before the final vote king was confirmed, the two teams still have a game.
Chapter completed!
