Chapter 223: Making a Big Wave (Ninety-ninth Update)
As we entered December, fans across the league were agitated.
Because this month they will witness the battle between the bull and the king.
You must know that last season's Bulls were called the strongest team in NBA history!
The strongest, there is no one!
And now this strongest team has a very strong opponent, that is, the Saramento Kings, who have a very high winning rate.
How strong is the king? Just look at their win rate, it's really a strong horror!
But how strong it is still has to be tested by the Bulls, a team that claims to be the strongest team in history.
If they can win against the Bulls, then this king will be terrible.
It's stronger than the strongest in history, that's really invincible!
Although the matchup between these two teams will have to wait for more than 20 days, the fans have already been unable to resist the excitement.
Speaking of which, the king is actually looking forward to this showdown.
Ross Barkley and Richmond, in particular, have been training hard lately in order to be in the best shape on Christmas night.
This time they must kill Jordan, and they must let Jordan taste the taste of failure!
Not only will they win in the Christmas War, but they will also win Jordan in the future Grand Finals!
……
In order to allow the players to have a good rest before the Christmas game and have a better state that night, Davidson began to plan to rest the veterans after the schedule entered December.
Ross Barkley, Richmond and the key substitutes on the bench have basically played a three-game and one-game rhythm this month.
And the three of Mubana will take turns to rest from time to time, especially Muressan, Davidson is really a little worried.
After this comeback, Mu Leisan can obviously feel that his pace has slowed down compared to before, although it does not affect his strength much, but in Davidson's opinion, it is a rather bad sign.
Muressan's situation means that the natal player is injured, which may also affect the strength.
And a player like Muressan, once he is seriously injured, the decline in strength will be quite rapid.
Probably that's why Muresan only played for six years.
Davidson's biggest concern now is whether Murraysan will be able to survive the last two seasons.
In terms of salary, naturally don't worry, now that Muresan has signed a big contract, he will not suffer any loss, and he must have earned tens of millions of dollars more than under normal circumstances.
But if it can't last two years, it may affect the king's plan for a winning streak.
That's right, Davidson's goal now is to make at least one or two consecutive championships.
And to complete at least two consecutive championships, Murraysan is quite important.
With Muresan, Davidson's team will be able to be more flexible in their tactics against the opposition.
If the fast attack is not easy to fight, then use Muresan to fight a positional battle with the opponent.
Without Muressan, Davidson's only tactic now is to break fast, and it is not cost-effective to fight positional battles.
The only thing Davidson can do now is silently pray that Murraysan will stay healthy.
……
Because of the rotation, the Kings lost a game against the Utah Jazz by mid-December.
The Jazz are still one of the top teams in the West.
In the West last season, the Kings didn't show absolute dominance.
And this season, the Kings are arguably the only superteam on this side of the West.
Compared to the Kings, the Jazz can only be described as a strong team.
The western region has formed a situation of one superpower and many strong forces, just like the eastern one.
The king is undoubtedly that super, and if he is strong, there are not many.
At present, except for the Kings in the West, only the Jazz and the Supersonic are the only strong teams that can be called strong.
Spurs, who were quite competitive last season, have changed this season.
First Admiral David Robinson was injured and never returned, and the team started with a 3-15 record, and then the team's head coach Bob Hill was fired, and general manager Popovich personally stepped in to take the position of head coach of the team.
Popovich's arrival in office is not to save the Spurs from fire and water, but to break the jar and start to walk on the road to rottenness.
Judging by the current situation of the Spurs, they are undoubtedly heading for the champion Duncan.
Therefore, the current Spurs are definitely not a strong team in the West.
……
As we enter mid-December, the annual All-Star first-round voting begins again.
This time, Davidson didn't dare to make a big deal, although he was very sure that Nash would be selected as an All-Star starter, but for the sake of safety, Davidson still decided to make a big wave, so that Nash could have a greater chance of being selected as an All-Star starter.
On December 19, the Kings played away against the Charlotte Hornets.
Poor Hornets were selected by Davidson to be Nash's All-Star whetstone, and Davidson wants to use this game against the Hornets to get Nash more votes!
How can I get more votes? Naturally, it's about making enough explosive performances.
"Alright, guys, now the All-Star voting begins."
"We've all seen Steve's performance this season, so we're going to help him out tonight and let him have another night that's just for him." Davidson said with a smile at the king's generals.
"Okay, it's pretty simple, don't you just want data? I'll give you at least five rebounds tonight! Barkley patted his chest and smiled.
"Then I'll give you at least five rebounds." Muresan immediately took a stand.
The crowd is quite supportive of Davidson's decision, this is Nash's rookie season, and it would be quite a remarkable achievement to be selected to the All-Star starting team in his rookie season like Dashi.
And Nash himself has the strength to match this achievement.
"Coach, I don't feel like I need to, I took a look at the ballot last night, and I feel that there should be no problem in getting into the All-Star." Nash was a little embarrassed, and it was just a matter of asking everyone to help brush up the data in his debut, after all, he only made one debut in his entire career.
Now that it's just an All-Star qualification, Nash is naturally embarrassed to trouble his teammates again.
"I also looked at the votes, you have more votes than Payton and Stockton, but this is not enough, there are not enough votes, we have to have an absolute crushing advantage to qualify for the All-Star starter, preferably the vote king!" Davidson patted Nash on the shoulder and said with an excited expression.
Nash could only smile bitterly and agree, it seems that after tonight's game, he will have to spend some money on a treat.
In his last debut, Barkley had to shout for a good meal after the game, and Nash spent a full $10,000 on the treat......
Of course, this $10,000 is certainly nothing for Nash, who has a promising future.
By the time the current rookie contract ends, as long as nothing happens, what awaits Nash is definitely a historic oversized contract.
