Chapter 338: Adjustment
The atmosphere after the game was friendly, but the Kings were in an extremely awkward situation.
This season, they have lost three in a row for the first time, and four in a row for the first time, and that losing streak could be extended to the next level.
The team has been affected by injuries, their results have slipped and their form has been terrible.
It can be said that this is a half-way crisis in Sacramento.
Like the lost Texas powerhouses, such a crisis came somewhat suddenly and inexplicably, allowing the Kings to fall from the top four in the West to the sixth in the West in an instant, and if they lose two more games, they may fall out of the top eight.
The Los Angeles Lakers breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
The declining record is a huge challenge and test for the entire Sacramento Kings, and the Kings players did not experience such difficulties last year.
On Jan. 4, the Kings returned home.
108-112 at home, losing to the Hawks from the West, a well-deserved and puzzling loss, ushered in a wave of five consecutive defeats.
Five consecutive defeats, Wang Mingming has been coaching until now, and the longest consecutive defeat is only five consecutive defeats, and this time, Wang Mingming's own career coaching record has been equaled.
"Do you want to break the record?" Fans in the Pacific are watching the show, while Kings fans are wailing.
DeRozan said in an interview that the team is going through a difficult period, with a number of players in the team injured, the team lineup is not neat, the team has encountered many injuries, and the run-in is not as good as expected.
But most directly, Wang Mingming, as the head coach, has become the target of criticism from the outside world.
Defending champions, going through the most embarrassing phase.
The media blamed Wang Mingming's tactics, Wang Mingming's employment, Wang Mingming's stubbornness, and his so-called reverse retro style manufacturing.
In short, the Kings' attention skyrocketed, not because the Kings won a tough opponent, but because they suffered a five-game losing streak.
I don't know when it will start, and a coach of Wang Mingming's level can only find a chance to hack through such a five-game losing streak.
5 years of coaching, 2 years of winning the championship, 5th year this year, ........ opportunities
Wang held another symposium tomorrow to make appropriate adjustments to the psychological state of the players.
.......
"The results of the first phase of the All-Star voting are all out, and DeRozan is third in the Western backcourt, followed by Xu Yong and Kobe."
Wang Tomorrow checked the voting results on the official website and was surprised by the result.
Dwayne Casey smiled, "Kobe Bryant is second, and the fans in Los Angeles are probably crazy and didn't expect a sophomore player to be able to climb to it." ”
"The point is that now DeRozan's votes are not far from Kobe, there is a difference of more than 30,000 votes between the two, and there are two rounds left, and the result is unknown." Wang Ming said.
"There are too many fans in China, Yao Ming was thrown into the starting point of the All-Star rookie season, and he was the starting center in the West every year, and Yi Jianlian almost surpassed Garnett and was thrown into the All-Star starting lineup in the East. Now Xu Yong averages more than 20 points per game and performs well, and the only criticism is that the Suns' record is average. ”
"I guess Xu Yong's entry into the All-Star starting lineup should be stable, DeMar DeRozan's words....... Kobe Bryant also has a lot of fans in China. ”
"Don't worry about this for now."
Wang Ming waved his hand and closed the web page, after which he took out a document and handed it to Dwayne Casey.
Casey took the document in Wang Mingming's hand with some surprise, opened it and looked at a few pages, with a hint of solemnity, disbelief and deep gratitude on her face.
"I've figured it out, I'm going to change my tactics a bit."
"Change tactics?"
"Yes, there are a lot of young people in our team, and our impact is very strong, but in the first half of the season, I paid too much attention to the cultivation of tactical literacy, or too much attention to adapting tactics to the players, which led to the loss of our original style of the Kings team, and the players did not play efficiently."
"This ........" coming out of someone else's mouth and coming out of the head coach's mouth are two different concepts, and Dwyane Casey was also silent, thought for a moment, and then agreed: "Okay, it's okay, now we have some problems, make some changes, maybe some good changes for the team." ”
"The players are young, they can adapt to the team's tactics, our tactics, we shouldn't change to fit the players, this is the NBA, it's a place full of competition, and it's a place where you should learn from it. Before, I thought about it too much, but now that we are halfway through the schedule and the rookies are ready to adapt and welcome, I am ready to make a basic minor adjustment in my tactics. ”
"How do you adjust it?"
Casey asked.
"Changing the starters, Affralo at shooting guard and DeMar DeRozan at small forward."
"In addition to defending and attacking with the ball, DeRozan will also be responsible for the team's offensive playmaking, and he will be my offensive starting point for the rest of the game."
After Wang finished speaking as a whole tomorrow, Dwayne Casey's heart set off a monstrous wave.
Casey said, "That's ......... point guard"
"DeMar is the point guard on the court, you can understand it as a playmaker."
"....... when Jason comes back"
"With 48 minutes of possession and Jason Kidd getting older, his focus will be on the defensive end and the organization will still be dominated by DeRozan."
Casey smiled, "Looks like you've already figured it out." ”
"Put all hope on Demar?"
"DeRozan has this playmaking talent, but he's been suppressed by himself, and I see the big picture in his eyes, and the next half season will be a major change for his career, he's going to be the new playmaker in the league, he's going to be more well-rounded."
Wang Ming said with a smile: "There is defense, projection, breakthrough, low post in the team, and what is lacking is organization, so as soon as Jason is injured, none of us will be able to play." At the end of the day, the players are too reliant on tactics, and no one is thinking beyond tactics about how they should play on the pitch. ”
"The change in the offensive focus will be an opportunity for DeRozan to make up for the lack of organization and get the team's offense clean again."
"So what do I need to do?" Casey nodded, indicating that he had understood what Wang Ming meant, although he didn't know what kind of tactics Wang Ming had arranged with DeRozan as the core.
"I need you to reassure the players, DeRozan is only a sophomore after all, he can have enough shots on the court, but when he becomes the playmaker on the court and he has more balls in his hands, the psychology of the players will inevitably change, and the statistics of some players will definitely be affected."
"When there's a well-rounded playmaker and that playmaker is a scorer, the stats of the rest of the players on the team are definitely shrinking."
"So, stabilize the team?" Casey spread her hands.
"Yes, especially, Al, I'm going to cut back on some of the low-post singles ........"
