The training camp was held at eight o'clock in the morning, and the players arrived in twos and threes, and there was no late arrival.

Davidson was quite satisfied, at least these players didn't give their new coach any relief......

Because of Richmond's easy-going personality, the atmosphere of the Kings is still good.

After the teammates met, they greeted each other warmly, and when they saw Davidson, a young and outrageous head coach, they also nodded respectfully.

"Alright, guys."

"I won't say any more nonsense, our goal this season is to make the Western Conference semifinals, which is to reach the second round of the playoffs!"

Hearing Davidson's words, the scene was suddenly silent.

Western Conference Semifinals?!

The last time the Kings reached the Western Conference semifinals was in 1981, when the Kings' home court was not in Saramento, but in Kansas City......

Since they entered the Western Conference semifinals in 81, the Kings have only played twice in the 14 or 5 years, let alone the Western Conference semifinals, that is, the first round of the playoffs, and they were all eliminated 3-0......

Now that Davidson is about to go to the Western Conference semifinals as soon as he comes up, and he is still guaranteed to play to this position, the corners of the Kings player's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say.

If Davidson had shouted the slogan that he would make the playoffs this season, they would still be able to reconcile.

Richmond's brows furrowed, he originally thought that Davidson was the kind of young and old man, but now it seems that he has overestimated the quality of this young coach.

The Kings' lineup for the new season has not changed much.

There are three more players, namely Muressan, Eric Snow and Battle.

The latter two, Richmond directly ignored, he had seen too many performances of these low-ranking newcomers, and he didn't think Snow and Battle could help much.

As for Muressan, the strength is naturally strong, which Richmond also admits.

But the original Polynes was not much worse, just relying on the strength of Muresan who was stronger than Polinis, how many notches could the King's record be raised? Richmond didn't believe it anyway.

He felt that Davidson's words were too big, and fortunately this was the King's training ground, if a reporter would say such a thing, and then he didn't make it to the Western Conference semifinals, it would definitely make the King a joke.

"You can see that you don't seem to have much faith in my words." Davidson said with a light smile.

"It's okay, time will tell."

Davidson didn't say much, he was naturally extremely confident in the current king.

Muressan, Battle plus a Richmond are a standard Big Three.

And it is also the most suitable triumvirate for the twin towers with outside lines in this era.

How can the record be bad?!

Of course, if it were to win the championship, Davidson would certainly not be arrogant enough to think that their squad would win the championship.

The reason why Davidson gave up the plan to trade Grant and Webber before was because he knew very well that the possibility of this team winning the championship was not particularly high, and there was a high probability that it would not even be able to rush out of the West.

But by the end of the new season, Davidson will be three years old and can be promoted to the middle level, and then he will have one more natal player, and then he will have three natal players, plus Richmond, Davidson is confident of fighting the Bulls.

……

The half-month period from mid-September to early October is generally the start of the training camp for each team.

On October 3, Davidson finally ushered in his first game as head coach.

When he was in the Nets before, Davidson also led the team, but he was not a head coach at that time, and he was purely a formality.

It's different now, Davidson is a real manager.

The Kings' first preseason game is against the Western Conference Belly Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavericks have been a little stunned in the draft in recent years.

Mashburn was chosen in '93 and Kidd was chosen in '94.

Paired with Jim Jackson in '92, it just forms a backcourt trident lineup.

It's not that the quality of the players they chose is not good, in fact all three of them have performed quite well.

Kidd even won the Rookie of the Year in '94.

But this trident lineup is obviously a little out of line with the trend of the times......

The whole league is piling up inside lines, even teams like the Bulls have to bring in Rodman, but the Mavericks are always piling up outside lines, and no one knows what their management is thinking.

Daddy talked to Davidson about this a few days ago, and in Daddy's opinion, the Mavericks may be trying to replicate the "RUN-TMC" combination of the old Nelson group.

This combination can be translated as self-propelled artillery, and as the name suggests, it is a combination with quite sufficient offensive firepower.

Richmond, Tim Hardaway, and God's left-hand Chris Mullin are members of the self-propelled artillery group.

Three outside players with top-notch offensive firepower, like machine guns, attacked wildly......

You don't have to think about it to know that the coach who can come up with such a crazy thing must be the mad scientist Nelson Sr.

Relying on this crazy combination, Nelson Sr. led the Warriors to the playoffs.

Now the Maverick is estimated to want to emulate the old Nelson, but unfortunately, the tiger is not an anti-dog......

"Doot toot!" The referee blows the whistle for the start of the game.

Davidson fielded the Kings' starting lineup.

The starting lineup is actually no different from the original starting lineup of the Kings, that is, the original starting center Polinis, who was replaced by Muressan.

Power forward Brian Grant, small forward Walter Williams, point guard Potato Webb.

The Mavericks' starting lineup and backcourt trident are all well-known players, and their two interior players are actually not small.

The big forward is 203 cm tall Puoboye Jones.

Jones's fame is not because of his strength, but because of his peculiar looks.

There is really nothing worth mentioning about the strength, what to do, what to eat, there is nothing left, such a player grabs a lot in the league.

The appearance is quite recognizable, a pair of attractive ears, and the nickname given by the fans is "Popeye".

There are all kinds of weird lists in the NBA, such as the list of the most handsome stars or the list of the ugliest stars......

Jones is a regular on the latter list, and he can make almost any list about ugliness or strange looks.

To be honest, Davidson didn't actually think Jones looked ugly......

Starting center Roy Tapre.

This product is also a frequent visitor on the list, making a death list, and giving his promising career to death.

Entered the alliance in 86, and when it was 90 years old, it was directly cleared by the alliance because of DU......

You must know that when this product was cleared, it already had an All-Star statistic of 20 points and 11 rebounds per game.

Now, after five years, he's got his chance to return to the league.

But everyone knows that the dog will definitely not be able to change its appetite for X, and it may be cleared after ten days and half a month.

It can also be seen from this that DU is not shallow, if it weren't for this thing, Tapre would definitely not be much worse if he was not a center at the level of the four major centers.
