The Kings have a lot of problems, but fortunately, they are not the main force.

Of course, Wang's requirement for tomorrow is to keep improving, so he hopes that every player can grow under his command, at least become what he wants to see, and be a useful person to the team, instead of clocking in and out of work every day, eating and waiting for death.

In the first game of the preseason, the Kings won easily against the Trail Blazers.

The game's top scorer was Garcia, a mature shooter who scored 21 points and made five three-pointers.

Chris Bosh played 19 minutes and scored 18 points, which was very efficient.

With three points raining down, the Trail Blazers looked like they were losing to a damn hand.

As soon as the game was over, Wang was interviewed tomorrow and then returned to the dressing room for a brief meeting, which was basically to praise the players for their excellent form and encourage them to keep up the good work.

Subsequently, the king left DeMar DeRozan tomorrow to talk after the meeting.

DeRozan is the same age as Xu Yong, who just turned 20 this year.

20-year-old DeRozan, with a green face, was slightly nervous when talking to Wang Mingming.

"Demar, good today."

Wang Tomorrow spoke.

DeRozan barely squeezed out a smile, he scored a total of 8 points today, all in the second half, because of nervousness, stiff shooting, all 4 shots were missed, if in other teams, this performance is good, but in the Kings, the No. 23 rookie Omi Cosby, actually scored 11 points today, scoring more than him, which made DeRozan feel very uncomfortable.

"Coach, you're overrated."

"I've arranged for Coach Dwayne to tailor a training plan for you." Wang Ming paused and continued: "I will be able to come out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”

"Thank you, Coach." DeRozan thanked.

Wang Ming said: "Demar, I value your potential very much, in my opinion, the future of the Kings may need to be revived in your hands." You have a very high potential, and in the future, you can definitely become an All-Star and even have a chance to make history as a player. ”

DeRozan heard Wang's optimism tomorrow, his heart was lifted, and he was very moved, he didn't expect that the head coach would place such high hopes on him, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Wang Mingming said: "I hope that after you enter the alliance, you will master three abilities. ”

DeRozan nodded, listening very attentively.

"One is defense."

Wang Mingming said: "In the NBA, the saying that circulates is true, offense wins the box office, and defense wins the championship. A really good player must be a combination of offense and defense, and must have excellent defensive ability, and only when the defensive ability goes up, can you really be praised. ”

DeRozan didn't expect Wang to start mentioning defense at the beginning of tomorrow, did the head coach think he was not good at defense?

Wang Mingming said: "Demar, I think you have a very strong defensive talent, you have excellent physical fitness, first-class lateral movement ability, concentration during the game, only experience and skill are lacking. ”

"Defending is the most important thing, and in the team, Jason and Ron are both defensive masters in the league, so you can learn from him. If you think about it, if Jason on the outside plus Ron plus you form the strongest block, I'm afraid Michael Jordan won't be able to score easily. ”

DeRozan listened very carefully and wrote down word by word.

"The second is three points."

"Three-pointers, in my tactical system, occupy a very high position, I know that when you were in college, you didn't like to shoot threes, you prefer to shoot mid-range, but you know, times are changing, you don't have more weapons in your arsenal, you are more likely to be in charge of the game in the future."

As soon as DeRozan came to the team, Wang Tomorrow found his three-point disadvantage, in addition to using props to cultivate, the most important thing is to pay attention to himself, Wang Tomorrow asked Casey to do the plan, DeRozan has to practice three-point shooting every day, this kid has shooting ability, three-point training can't be practiced, it's a pity.

The last thing Wang Ming said was the ball quotient, he warned DeRozan that in addition to having fighting spirit, it is more important to learn to play with his brain, in the NBA, smart players, players who learn to read the game are often more successful.

DeRozan wrote them all down, carefully commented on Wang Mingming's teachings, and deep down, he also recognized Wang Mingming, Wang Mingming's words were all the content he urgently needed to learn, and pointed out the direction of his future growth, which was positive and scientific.

The two chatted for a while, and Wang learned tomorrow that DeRozan currently rents an apartment near the arena and may buy real estate in Sacramento in the future.

"Dinner, please."

Wang Tomorrow waved his hand, simply invited guests to dinner, and continued to chat at the dinner table.

After coming and going, the two suddenly became familiar with each other, and DeRozan was a little less restrained and showed a sincere smile.

........

The Kings played a total of seven preseason games, the last three of which were also played in China.

One Taiwan, one Shanghai, and one Beijing, the opponents are the Pacers, the Rockets and the Rockets, which are full of topicality, causing thousands of Chinese fans to watch it.

4-3 in the preseason and 1-1 with the Rockets.

The overall state of the team made Wang Ming satisfied, and in the next few games, the main team also played and carried out a preliminary run-in.

In the final training camp contract, only Shaun May and Hilton Armstrong remained, one as a power forward and the other as a center, which was a supplement to the team's weak interior lineup.

Among them, Sean May was cut by the Bobcats because of injuries before, and Wang Tomorrow saw that his ability score did regress a lot, even if he used a medical bandage, the current injury can be healed, and he only has a rating of 69, which can only be regarded as a very ordinary NBA bench level insider.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, to October 28th.

As Sacramento enters the high autumn season, the temperature drops rapidly, and the lowest temperature once drops below 10 degrees.

At this time, the NBA's regular season officially kicked off.

In the opening game, there was nothing to do with the Kings, who were the bottom of the league last season, the Celtics vs. the Cavaliers, the Bulls vs. the Bucks, and the Lakers vs. the Trail Blazers.

Both teams made appearances in last season's Finals, and the Celtics and Cavaliers were even more eye-catching when they battled each other.

Wang became a member of the team's uniform team tomorrow, and he also attended the team operation meeting held by general manager Jof.

"The team sold a total of 3,519 tickets this season, an increase of 40% compared to last season." When Jove Patrick said it, he looked agitated and his face flushed with a hint of excitement.

Sacramento is not a big ball market, teams like the Lakers and Knicks, there will be a clear number of places in the package, and outside the quota, you can only buy bulk tickets.

The Kings are different, because every game is almost never full, and the packages are sold when people buy them.

"Our first home game will be on Nov. 5, and the game against the Grizzlies is now on sale online, and the purchase is very good, far more than last season." Joff continued to broadcast the good news.

Wang Mingming, who was in attendance, was respected by everyone, and all the changes made by the Kings are inseparable from Wang Mingming, which is the charm of today's popular NBA coach.
