The Kings defeated the Hornets 98-90.

Paul didn't play a few games after returning from injury, and this game was not full of firepower, contributing 15 points and 11 assists in the whole game, if it is an average point guard, it is very good, but for Paul, it is just a regular operation, and in terms of personal offense, the aggressiveness is really not strong.

After that, the Kings lost back-to-back games to the Spurs.

After returning home, the Kings defeated the Timberwolves, then traveled to Portland to beat the Trail Blazers, and won at home against the Wizards, and the Kings ushered in another three-game winning streak.

Garcia's departure doesn't seem to have much impact on the Kings as a whole, without Garcia, the Kings still have Nocioni, Cosby, and especially Cosby.

In these games, the rookie with the 23rd pick and wearing the No. 23 has performed impressively, and Cosby can shoot three-pointers every game and is very stable from the outside.

Shooters are like this, if you feel like you can shoot, you can have it, how dare others not guard against it?

After experiencing the initial discomfort of the season, Cosby slowly got used to the intensity of the NBA, he has honed in Europe and has a certain amount of game experience, especially the ability to shoot with a high arc, which is beautiful like a turret, and Garcia before him, which is amazing.

Others were amazed, "How many shooters the Kings have!" ”

The Kings are firmly in second place in the West, and the first place in the West is the Lakers, who have shown super strength and form this season.

As long as Andrew Bynum is not injured, the combination of Bynum + Horford on the inside of the Lakers is enough to dominate the West, not to mention that there is Kobe Bryant, the strongest scorer in the NBA today, on the outside.

The Lakers are 20-4 and have won six of their last seven games.

The Kings are 18-5, 1.5 wins behind the Lakers.

The Kings are on the verge of a wave of road trips, starting in Minnesota and working their way east.

Wang didn't think about fighting for the first place in the league or the West tomorrow, but the Lakers now regard the Kings as a big enemy, and fans in Los Angeles naturally want to say what the King is doing.

The Pacific region has changed suddenly.

As early as a few months ago, who would have believed that the Kings, who were at the bottom of the league, had reached this point with just a change of coach?

"If we had known this, we should have invited the king to come to us tomorrow!" Clippers owner Donald Sterling is picky and weird, but now seeing the Kings turn over, the Ma'rouf brothers' pockets gradually bulged and their eyes turned red.

I heard that Wang wanted to come to Los Angeles tomorrow, but the two teams in Los Angeles were more arrogant than the other.

Forget about the Lakers, it's the team that reached the finals in the league last season, the West is strong, and the "Zen Master" Phil Jackson is even more expensive as the league's super coach, what kind of door is this Clippers, at the beginning, they were not like other teams in the small ball market, they were eager to seek talents, but all parties reacted, they didn't care about Wang Mingming, Wang Mingming didn't say it, and he had already remembered the Clippers in his heart, if you don't invite me, I won't take the initiative to come.

As a result, the king rose up, the king operated tomorrow, and the king became the top team in the West overnight.

The Thunder, the Suns and other teams sighed in their hearts, only to blame Wang for being too strong tomorrow.

The Kings begin their road trip to the East, with the first game coming in the West, where Minnesota takes on the Timberwolves.

Before playing the Timberwolves, Wang Tomorrow remembered one thing, held a team player, and held a tea party.

"Tea party?"

The Yankees had never heard of such terms, but due to Wang Mingming's daily majesty, after the training was over, after taking a shower, they all came to the conference room arranged by Wang Mingming.

In the conference room of the target center, Wang Ming arranged the seats, and there were fruits and tea on the table.

The players looked at each other and then sat down in the conference room.

Artest was nervous, and after sitting down, he pulled a banana with a smile on his face, stuffed it in his mouth, and ate it.

Unlike usual, Wang Ming neither turned on the projector nor took out the tactical board.

Instead, they sat in the main seat of the conference table, and several assistant coaches also sat down, smiling, in the middle of a group of players.

"Coach Wang, what does this mean?"

In Kidd's more than ten years of playing career, he has never encountered this kind of activity, and he can't help but feel a little apprehensive.

"Nothing interesting. I just want to invite my brothers to sit down, have a good chat, talk about myself, talk about other people, open my heart, talk about everything, and make a plan for my future. Wang Ming explained with a smile, and at the same time said solemnly: "This is an important opportunity for self-reflection and self-growth, and we can conduct a deep review and understanding, which is very helpful for the next schedule." ”

As soon as Kidd heard that it would help the rest of the game, he immediately took it seriously.

The players looked at Wang Mingming's body in unison, and Wang Mingming said: "I'll do a self-review first." ”

"I know that there are a lot of people among you who are a little unhappy with me, who think that I am too thin and have quietly traded Francisco, and Francisco has been doing well in the previous schedule no matter what, and he has worked hard."

As soon as Wang Mingming said, several players couldn't help but show a look of horror, and indeed a few players talked about Wang Mingming in private, even if Wang Mingming is now leading the team forward, this kind of complaint is inevitable, especially the more marginal the players, the more panicked they are.

"The team is now regular, and I would say that we are not going to trade anybody easily." Wang Ming paused, first made a guarantee, and then set his eyes on the newcomer "Polish Iron Hammer" Gortat, showing a slight gentle smile.

Gortat also smiled, he had a very good sense of Wang Mingming, as soon as he came to the team, Wang Mingming told him that in the days when Tyson Chandler was resting, he was the team's starting center, and he started two games before, played well, and even got 14 rebounds, breaking his career record.

"I have a responsibility to say hello to Francisco in advance, and I didn't even know he had bought a new property in Sacramento."

After Wang finished speaking, everyone was happy and laughed in a low voice, and Garcia's angry appearance in the media interview came to everyone's minds.

"The NBA is so cruel that I sometimes even feel like Gavin [Marouf] is going to cut me out if I don't produce results." Wang Ming made a joke about himself, and everyone laughed again, and couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

What nonsense, if you sell Jason and Ron, I'm afraid you won't be laid off, right?

"I love your drive, you have a lot of competitiveness and talent. I'm sorry about Garcia, but I also got a trade request from the Magic team out of the blue, and we didn't have any trade exchanges before, which was very unexpected. ”

After the king finished speaking, he stood up solemnly and apologized to the people.

In this way, these tall athletes are a little embarrassed, the head coach has put his posture so low, how can they blame it, they waved their hands one after another, and said loudly,

"Don't say that, manager, it's okay......."

"Francisco probably loves the Florida sun, he's actually quite happy."

"We support the decisions the team makes, and we love Sacramento and are willing to do anything for the team."

Wang Tomorrow actually made a scene, so that some of the mustard in the hearts of some players could be eliminated, and then, Wang Tomorrow sat down again and turned his head to look at Kidd.

"Jason, what are your ideals? Let's start with you and talk to everyone. ”

Wang Mingming got up first and apologized sincerely, and now he suddenly asked Kidd a question, and Kidd was slightly caught off guard, but he was immediately infected by Wang Mingming, and said it with emotion.

"To be honest, I didn't expect the Kings to play like this."

"When I was in Dallas, a lot of people thought, I'm 36 years old, what can I do? So even though I had 8.7 assists and 2 steals last season, everyone thought I was going to be bad next season, so the Mavericks didn't move for a long time, waiting for a reaction from the free market. ”

"Later, Coach Wang Tomorrow came."

Kidd began to tell about what Wang Tomorrow had recruited, and it was the first time that everyone heard Kidd talk about it, and they all became interested and listened very carefully.

"At first, I didn't believe that Coach Wang Mingming would be able to bring the team to the level of a strong team in the west, because the competition in the west is really fierce. But I found out that I was wrong, Coach Wang Mingming is really, really good, every move he makes, it is very deep, and it is definitely not what we have shown and seen. Coach Wang Mingming's coaching is also very powerful, I have been in the Suns, Mavericks, and Nets, but no matter which coach is compared with Coach Wang Mingming, the reaction speed and tactical pertinence of on-the-spot command are much worse, he is a real master conductor. ”

The king couldn't laugh or cry tomorrow, and Kidd talked about it, and finally it turned into a praise for him.

The players listened to Kidd's words, and looked at Wang Ming with more respect.

Kidd paused, then continued: "I hope that I can win a championship with the Kings, which is what I have always dreamed of, and Coach Wang will promise me, and I believe that he can lead us to do it, starting this season." ”

The crowd applauded, and among the players present, I am afraid that no one is more hungry for a championship than Kidd.

Kidd's career has everything, personal honors, statistics, and status are impeccable, but there is no championship, and if there is a championship, Kidd's evaluation after retirement will be completely different.

"I'll come, I'll come, I'll come."

Ron Artest and Chris Bosh jumped out, and the two scrambled to speak.

Wang Ming waved his hand, signaling the two of them to be calm.

"Don't worry, everyone, the essence of this tea party is that everyone is equal, there is no main force here, there is no rookie, everyone is treated equally, let's talk about it in order!"

Wang Tomorrow looked at the pigtailed man next to Kidd.

Chris Bosh exhaled, then folded his hands and made a gesture to Wang.

The crowd burst into laughter.

The king will be happy tomorrow, and his left hand will be the palm, and his right hand will be a fist, and he will make a fist to the dragon king.

"Coach, I'm grateful you brought me from Toronto to Sacramento."

Wang Mingming smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Don't talk about me all the time, talk about yourselves." ”

Chris Bosh nodded, then said, "I've been in Toronto for six years, and this is my seventh season in the NBA. ”

"When I first came to Sacramento, I was actually a little resistant, because everyone knows that I'm going to be a free agent next year, so why should I go to Sacramento when I can be a free agent?"

Bosh said that he had no intention, but Wang Ming listened to it with a heart, Bosh meant that he would not renew his contract with the Raptors and become a free agent who controlled his own destiny, and now saying this means that he is willing to stay in Sacramento now?

"But when I came to Sacramento, I realized that the basketball atmosphere here is very strong, the fans are very cute, and even on the first day I came, I met a lot of fans who picked me up, and the fans called my name, which made me excited. Now, we have a good record, we are getting better and better, we have a good chemistry under the teaching of Coach Wang, and I hope to be able to make the playoffs with everyone, to the semifinals, the Western Conference finals and even the finals. ”

After the two bigwigs finished speaking, Wang nodded his head tomorrow, and let the people in the circle express their feelings, including the marginal players, who also spoke freely, during the speech, laughter continued, and there were also touching places, everyone recalled the contact in the past two months, and inadvertently, the feelings were much better.

Wang Tomorrow wants to see the players like this, the competition that should be competitive, but in private, it should not just be a colleague relationship, but should go further and become a good friend who can make friends.

This situation seems very novel in Lao Mei, but the effect is wonderful.

In the evening, the Kings took on the Timberwolves.

The Kings were in high spirits and beat the Timberwolves 98-73.

The whole Timberwolves team was taken aback, the Kings' defense was too strong, the inside and outside lines were combined, like an iron plate, and the Kings' best performance was the sophomore player Kevin Love, Kevin Love was full of firepower inside and outside, scoring 19 points and 13 rebounds, and in this high-pressure intensity, it was better than Al Jefferson.

The Timberwolves lost on the perimeter, shooting 1 of 12 three-pointers from the perimeter, and the iron ground was about to smash the basket.

The next day, the Kings flew to nearby Milwaukee to take on the Bucks on the road.

The Bucks are strong, but they are also back-to-back, having played a stint in Cleveland before returning home to play against the Kings.

The Bucks have challenged the two dominant teams in the East and West for two consecutive days, which is a difficult test for the whole team.

Blanton Jennings met the demonic Jason Kidd, who was about to become a player, and only scored 9 points and 3 rebounds in the game, and was locked to the ground.

The Bucks battled out four quarters and lost 87-90.

The Kings' road trip has just begun, and they have made a good start with two consecutive wins.

At this time, as Christmas approaches, the Kings still need to play against the Bulls and Cavaliers, two Eastern teams, until they return to the West on December 26 to host the Lakers, the first team in the West.
