The Kings proved themselves through a chicken blood battle at home, defeating the Lakers, who are also in the Pacific Division, and achieved a record of 7 wins and 3 losses.

This is the best start for the King since the 2001-2002 season. The King was the best king in history at that time.

Of course, this result is the worst start of Li Liang's career. You will know how thick the thighs Li Liang hugged before.

After defeating the Lakers, the Kings reached a high point.

But teams that rely on morale all have a relatively obvious problem - instability.

The king is now a group of unstable molecules.

Cousins ​​is the first to bear the brunt.

Cousins ​​played happily, the inside giant, and this year he was vaguely the first center forward.

Unhappy with the fight, I first made a technical foul to suppress my shock.

On November 11, the Kings opened the Blazers away from home, and Cousins ​​killed a special kill at Moda Center. As a result, he was sent off for two technical fouls in the fourth quarter. His temper became stronger and he couldn't stop him.

Fortunately, the Kings defeated the Trail Blazers by 125:122 and 3 points, and won five consecutive victories.

On November 13, the Kings who returned to Sacramento faced the challenge of the Spurs.

In this game, Li Liang wanted to take revenge, but Cousins ​​made two fouls in the first quarter.

After the second quarter, he made another foul - he knocked down Paul Gasol during the attack and was called for an offensive foul.

Li Liang had to replace Cousins ​​again, and the Kings faced the problem of inside defense throughout the game.

Spurs Vic lifted out the two towers at the right time, Gasol and Ade, and the two used their height advantages to constantly bombard the King's weak inside line.

108:111, the Kings lost to the Spurs for the second time in the season with a three-point advantage.

Revenge failed.

After the game, when he returned to the locker room, Li Liang held back his anger and did not get angry at Cousins.

He silently used [Tim Duncan's Head Touch Kill] to calm Cousins' ups and downs.

Li Liang decided that this season, Cousins ​​would be bald and would use head-touching to improve his temper.

Cousins' foul ability should be said to be at the historical level.

Among players with more than 500 games, he ranks fourth in history in fouls per game.

The three people in front of him were all players from the 1950s and 1960s. The NBA environment and rules of that era were completely different from those of today.

Therefore, Cousins ​​is considered the "king of fouls" of modern basketball.

In comparison, Li Liang is simply the "king of non-fouls" in the league, and he controls fouls very well.

In four years of high-intensity, high-density, and long-term games, Li Liang was sent out only once.

On the one hand, he has a good relationship with the referee, and on the other hand, he has a very good control over emotions and movements.

How to control emotions and fouls is a topic that Cousins ​​must face.

After all, he is the team's inside core, and if he is less than half of his kings, it will be too difficult to play in the regular season.

The second person who is emotional is Rondo.

Rondo has a big temper and sang against Li Liang from time to time during the competition.

Of course, the final result was all suppressed by the hair dryer.

Only Li Liang can suppress him.

After losing to the Spurs, the No. 18 Kings faced the Clippers at home.

Rondo clashed with Paul during the game, and the two cursed each other from the first quarter.

Paul is indeed very high in the league. He is a champion and is also the chairman of the union. He is good at being a good person and doing things. Although he is small, he is very charming.

But there are always people who are dissatisfied, such as Deron and Rondo.

Deron is in the same class, and Rondo is only one class later than Paul, and has a champion and a more tempered person.

After the second quarter, the conflict between the two sides began to escalate.

Rondo was intercepted by Paul during an attack, and then turned around and robbed him. The two fell to the ground and fought to make a group.

The referee blew the ball, and neither of them would let go after they stood up.

As a result, they started to spray each other face to face.

After a trash talk, I thought I was going to stop, but Rondo suddenly had a "jujube pit" and spitted Paul's head.

Can Paul bear it? The old fist is swinging directly at Rondo's face!

The two started fighting each other directly.

Cousins, Jordan Jr., Griffin and others came to persuade the fight.

When Li Liang saw it, he wanted to go up and hit it, but then he thought, I am the coach and I can't hit it.

So Li Liang also tried to persuade him to fight, "You should slap him in the face, don't use a fist, use a palm. The fist is too dangerous and will break..."

He didn't know where to persuade him.

The court was in chaos, and Kings fans said that the ticket was worth it.

Not only did I watch a basketball game, but I also had a wonderful boxing game.

As the overall environment of NBA is becoming more and more "civilized", there are really not many such scenes.

Like those old fans in the 1970s, they went to watch NBA on site, which was mainly boxing games and took a look at basketball.

The referee's whistle roars rose and fell one after another, and the two were finally pulled away.

Although Paul is not tall, his boxing skills are still good.

On the TV replay, Paul punched Rondo firmly.

When Rondo fought back, Paul bowed his head and avoided it without being beaten.

After watching the video, the referee sent all the two off the field.

Without Paul, the Clippers would have no backbone.

Originally, he had a hard time playing against the Kings, but in the third quarter, he was defeated by Li Liang's attacking shock wave.

In the end, the King relied on Rondo to lead Paul to self-destruction, defeating 107:99 at home, defeating the Clippers, avoiding a series of losses.

However, after the game, the NBA officially issued a punishment, and Rondo and Paul each received two bans.

This suspension penalty can be said to be quite severe.

The two sides spit and the fight was played repeatedly on the TV station.

In an interview after the game, Li Liang said, "Rondo is a competitive player. He plays very hard and has the style of an old-school player. He had some small conflicts with Paul, and I think it's normal. He is the opponent and the enemy on the court. I immediately stepped forward to separate them. This is my responsibility. I am now a coach."

"But I heard that you asked Rondo to slap Paul in the face on the court?"

"Who said it? He must have heard it wrong. I asked Rondo to keep calm and slap himself in the face if he wanted to fight."

After taking himself out, Li Liang immediately posted an opinion on Twitter, posting a picture of Paul Boxing Rondo, with a comment: "The great moment in the boxing world in the 21st century."

It seems that Li Liang not only knows basketball, but also boxing.

But the Kings faced the next problem immediately, and there was no Rondo in the next two games.

Rondo's ability to dominate the ball in the offense is still very important to the Kings.

On the 20th, the Kings faced the Raptors at home. Without Rondo, the pressure on Li Liang's offensive organization increased greatly.

He withstood the attack of the whole team, scored 27 points and 21 assists in a single game, helping the Kings defeat the Raptors by 105:98 and 7 points.

Anyway, don’t think about the half-time check-in last season. If you want to win every game, you have to do your best.

The defending champion Thunder is also unable to check in at halftime.

The Thunder visited Sacramento, and Li Liang faced his old club for the first time in the new season.

In the opening game, Thunder had already received the championship ring and was waiting for Li Liang to go to Oshi City.

In this game, the Thunder did not give Li Liang face, and Durant and Westbrook joined forces to score 77 points.

Westbrook scored 33 points and Durant scored 44 points!

Although Li Liang scored 36 points and 16 assists.

But he was too busy.

The coach is him, the main controller is him, the defense of Durant is still him.

During the intermission, Li Liang drank a bottle of Gatorade to supplement his physical fitness.

In the regular season, Li Liang rarely drinks Gatorade given by the system, which shows how tired he is if he lacks Rondo, the ball holder.

In the end, the Thunder defeated the Kings by 118:113 and 5 points.

The Kings' two consecutive victories came to an abrupt end.
Chapter completed!
