Chapter 159: Best record in team history
Battle was annoyed by Rodman's small actions tonight, and his form was also out of par. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test
He made 27 shots and hit 13 shots, including 3-of-7 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws, scoring 33 points.
The data of 33 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and it was cut against a team like the Bulls, which is invincible defensively, is actually quite good.
But Battle was quite dissatisfied, and his face was dull after the game.
He was well aware of the importance that Davidson attached to the game, and as a result, he was the team's number one attacker, but he couldn't help Davidson win the game.
It made him feel guilty and feel sorry for Davidson.
Davidson traveled thousands of miles to bring himself from China to play in the NBA, and Battle couldn't be more grateful to Davidson.
Without Davidson, Battle knew he would never have been where he is today.
Not to mention the $5 million annual salary that he may get in the future, the current $300,000 annual salary is a dream that he couldn't even think of before.
……
Muresan wasn't in much better mood either, and his stats were actually pretty good tonight.
The data of 15 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks can't be faulted at all, and if Mutombo came to play tonight's game, it would definitely not be better than Muresan.
But because of the team's loss, Muressan's mood was also very dull.
Seeing the team's morale low, Davidson breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, guys."
'We don't need to care too much about this game, on the contrary we have to thank the defeat in this game, which made us aware of the problems of the team.
"We still have at least two months to make up for it from today!" Davidson cheered the generals on.
Davidson didn't say this casually, he really realized what the Kings are lacking right now.
This deficiency is that there are too few three-point shots, too little!
If you really want to talk about it, in fact, the Kings' three-point shot is a relatively good existence in the league.
Needless to say, Battle is definitely the league's top three-point shooting prowess.
Richmond's three-pointer is also good, and small forward Walter's three-point is also above the standard.
But it just doesn't shoot much, and the average number of shots per game is about the same as that of the Bulls.
In terms of three-point strength, Davidson dares to guarantee that the Bulls are definitely inferior to the Kings.
That being the case, the next thing Davidson has to do is increase the Kings' average of three-point shots per game.
Having spent so much time at the club, Davidson actually thinks a little differently than the coaches of his current era.
It can be said that it is more long-term and forward-looking than these coaches.
Three-point thing, coaches in this era are not particularly fond of.
Because this thing is uncontrollable......
In their eyes, this thing seems to be more of a luck factor.
It's not like there aren't any three-point players in the league, like Dele Curry, but most of these players are put on the bench and put on these three-pointers to gamble when the team desperately needs to chase points......
It's not just that the coach doesn't favor the three-pointer, but even the stars don't have a lot of interest in the three-pointer.
For example, Jordan, that is, now that the three-point line has been shortened, he has only made a little more three-point shots, and this season is the highest three-point shooting percentage of his career, reaching 42.
Even with this shooting percentage, Jordan still doesn't like to shoot three-pointers, averaging only three three-point shots per game this season......
This is simply unimaginable in the future, such a high three-point shooting rate does not go crazy to shoot three-pointers?
If you don't shoot an average of 10 three-pointers per game, you can't even live up to this shooting percentage.
All in all, the three-point shot is not so much an offensive weapon in this era.
……
Now Davidson is just going to start adding to the number of three-point shots that some teams make.
Sledgehammer has discussed some later basketball theories with Davidson, and he knows the importance of the three-point shot.
Coupled with the fact that the three-point line is now shortened, it is a good time to shoot a crazy three-pointer......
……
At the press conference after the game, the head coaches of both sides took the teams to the venue separately and prevaricated with the media, and this much-anticipated battle was over.
As for the agreement between Jordan and Davidson about winning or losing before the game, because the two sides played a lot of anger in this game, and no one mentioned it after the game.
……
In practice the next day, Davidson shared his thoughts with the Kings generals and increased the number of outside three-point shots.
In the next few games, Davidson experimented with the effect of increasing three-point shooting in actual combat, at least Davidson himself was quite satisfied.
Today, teams in the league are averaging around 15 three-point shots per game, between 14 and 15, and the Bulls before were roughly in that range.
After playing four games with the Bulls, the Kings improved their three-point shooting average from 15 to 21 per game.
Such a number of three-point shots is naturally not enough compared to later generations, and there is no average of 30 three-point shots per game in later generations, and they are embarrassed to say that their team can shoot three-point shots......
The scoring efficiency of higher-frequency three-point shots has indeed improved slightly, but it has only improved six times, and the improvement is not large.
Nowadays, it can only be gradual, and if the three-point shooting improves too much in the short term, the player's condition will definitely be affected, and they need a process of adaptation.
……
In the blink of an eye, the regular season has entered April, and the Kings have one more away game against the Bulls in the final half of the season.
On April 13, the Kings' game at the Bulls' home court begins.
What makes people speechless is that none of the main players of the Kings team have been seen in this game, and even Davidson, the head coach, has not come to Chicago.
Davidson gave up the final game of the season.
Because there is really no need to fight, this game is the King's away game, and if the main force is all out, it will definitely be a fierce battle, which is not good for the next playoff schedule.
If you are unlucky and injure a main player, then the king will be ugly.
The Bulls will not give up on this game, they have a 71-win record at the moment, and naturally want to further improve their winning tally.
Davidson simply gave up this game and didn't go to fight the Bulls, anyway, there are more opportunities to die in the future.
After this game, the Bulls set a record for the most wins in a single season in NBA history with a 72-10 record.
Such a number of wins is jaw-dropping, and many fans are shouting that this record will definitely become the best in NBA history, which means that no other team will be able to play this kind of record in the future.
The Bulls are dazzling, and the Kings' performance this season is actually enough to be called dazzling.
The 63-19 record broke the record for the best record in Kings history.
Davidson is in charge as a head coach this season, and he should be rewarded for his achievements with such a record, but it may be because the season is not over yet, so Davidson has not been rewarded.
It is expected that Davidson will not be able to reap his rewards until the season is completely over.
