Chapter 177: The End of the Season
The king's hand is really good tonight, and it may be the reason why his mind is relaxed and not tense.
Some managers like to put pressure on their players before such a crucial game.
This can have a good effect, but it can also make players too nervous, causing a tight shot and affecting efficiency.
Davidson's approach of letting the players relax was clearly paying off.
With a 10-point lead in the first half, as long as there are no surprises in the second half, this game is a sure win for the Kings.
At the start of the second half, the Kings first hit a three-pointer to stretch the margin to 13 points.
As a result, the next scene made the Kings fans on the scene gasp.
Snow jumped up and tried to steal Harper's pass in the return stage, but when he landed, he twisted directly to his ankle.
After limping off the court, a shadow appeared in the hearts of Kings fans.
Snow is actually quite important in the starting lineup, no less than Walter, and now Snow is not seriously injured, but he may not be able to play next.
Without Snow's defense, will the Kings be able to hold on to this lead?!
Many Kings fans sighed secretly in their hearts, who would have thought that such a good momentum, seeing that they were about to win, there were injuries to players.
Davidson was also dumbfounded, once he was worried about Muresan's injury, but what he didn't expect was that Muraisan has been playing well until now, but Snow was injured.
Snow's injury had too much impact on the Kings, because Davidson did not have a strong backup point guard available, so he could only put the little potato Webber to replace Snow.
Zen master Jackson, who was standing across the court, had a smile on his face.
On a stage like the finals, a player like Xiao Tudou is destined to not even have the qualifications to play a supporting role.
There is no need for a Zen master to make tactical arrangements, and Harper and Jordan on the court just played an outside double block.
Don't forget, although Harper now puts all his energy on defense, he was also a super scorer who averaged 20+ per game in previous years.
The best way to break the outside double block is naturally to change the defense.
But no matter whether the little potato is switched to Jordan or Harper, it is definitely a situation where the opponent eats it alone.
In just a few minutes, the difference between the two sides was once pulled back to a gap of only five points!
"Doot toot!" Davidson called a timeout, he couldn't go on like this.
"Mitch, next you go to the number one, Bryan, you play the number three, Walter, you go to the number two." Davidson can only be a dead horse and a horse doctor, and let Richmond play the No. 1 position.
Richmond's passing ability is not good, at least not as good as the little potato Webber, but now I can't care about it so much, Webber's black hole-level defense may not be so obvious in the regular season, but it is vividly reflected in the finals.
Without replacing Webb, the Kings have absolutely no chance of winning this game.
……
What Davidson didn't expect was that his helpless move had a pretty good effect.
Grant scored one after another after coming on the court, and even Pippen, who defended it, missed two consecutive shots.
After a few minutes, the difference between the two sides returned to double digits.
As the game entered the fourth quarter, the Bulls were clearly down by double digits, and morale was obviously greatly affected.
Of course, it could also be that the Bulls want to win the championship on their home court and don't want to end Game 4 of this round of the Finals.
If you win the championship at home, there are simply too many benefits, so if most teams are 100% sure of winning, they will choose to win the championship at home.
Now that the Bulls have three match points in hand, they naturally don't worry about the Kings turning a defeat into a victory.
"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Kings fans cheered with excitement as their Kings team won.
With a score of 106-97 on his home court, he won the Bulls by nine points.
Undoubtedly, this makes Kings fans extremely satisfied, and it is not easy to win against the Bulls.
The strength of the Bulls is well known, and if they can win such a team, what are the fans not satisfied with.
……
Davidson also breathed a sigh of relief, this game was really lucky, to win the Bulls, this season the Kings have completely played a perfect season.
In Game 5 of the Finals, the Kings failed to extend their good fortune in Game 4 and lost to the Bulls by seven points.
Since then, the 1995-1996 season has come to an end, and Davidson has received a lot of evolution coins after the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, mainly the club rewards from the previous regular season honors.
Now that Davidson has more than 200,000 evolution coins on hand, he doesn't have much thirst for evolution coins now, and he may spend some evolution coins to continue to buy some rings.
……
At the end of the season, the players can get a good rest, but people like Davidson are getting even busier.
Petrie probably wanted to show his respect for Davidson, so he would say hello to Davidson in advance and listen to Davidson's opinion.
Davidson also wants to express his opinion on some events, so this offseason is naturally busy.
The most important thing in front of the Kings right now is a trade with the Suns.
This deal is enough to affect the strength of the Kings next season, and whether they can have the strength to compete with the Bulls depends on whether this deal can be successful.
In this deal, Barkley was naturally a very important factor in attracting Davidson, but in fact, Davidson valued the 14th draft pick more.
Through the mysterious draft stone, Davidson has long known that Nash will be selected with the 15th pick in the first round, and he expects to get the 14th pick of the Suns, and then it should not be a problem to select Nash.
Davidson didn't expect it at all, in fact, under normal circumstances, it was the Suns who selected Nash with the fifteenth pick in the first round.
Under normal circumstances, the seventh, eighth, and eighth-ranked teams in the West this season are the Suns and Kings.
The Suns got the 15th pick, while the Kings picked 14th and used that pick to select Peja.
Now because of the soaring Kings record, the Suns are eighth in the West, and the Suns have won the fewest games of all the teams in the league that have entered the playoffs, and they naturally get the best 14th pick in the draft except for the lottery.
……
A week before the draft began, Petrie finally got in touch with the Suns.
The Suns sent Barkley outside Rods Williams and their 14th pick in the first round and traded the Kings' Brian Grant, Eric Snow, Walter Williams and the 28th pick in the first round plus the 28th pick in the second round.
This deal is one more second-round pick than the deal Davidson discussed with Barkley at the beginning, and 28th picks in the second round.
However, it was only a second-round pick, and not many people cared about it, and in order to facilitate the deal as soon as possible, Petrie did not continue to maneuver, anyway, he asked Davidson, and Davidson did not value this second-round pick very much.
If this second-round pick is high, for example, in the middle of the second round, then Davidson is expected to stay and see if he can select Jeff McGinnis or Fayke, both of whom are one of Davidson's previous options for being promoted to mid-level sellers, and it is expected that there will still be some strength.
