Chapter 272: Wild Victory
Wang watched the game tomorrow, and the 76ers did have some changes.
The system of suspected "triangle offense" left over from Wang's era has almost disappeared under Eddie Jordan; The run-and-gun tactics and powerful offensive and defensive transitions have gradually evolved into positional offenses and block-and-roll offenses.
Today's 76ers are more focused on defense, the pace is slower, and the offensive end relies on small forward Iguodala to break through and shoot.
Iverson and Gasol both became sub-focal points of the tactical attack.
Eddie Jordan has repeatedly praised Iguodala in public, he likes such a strong wing swingman, believes that Iguodala is both offensive and defensive, has an outstanding overall view, and has the potential to become a superstar in the league.
At the end of the day, he wants to groom Iguodala to be a second LeBron James.
But Wang Mingming feels that Iguodala is still inferior to James, and the biggest problem is that Iguodala's breakthrough is not as strong as James.
James's breakthrough ability, there is no second one in the league, and it is extremely rare in history.
The 76ers felt the Kings' strong oppressive defense.
In the entire Kings team, inside and out, there is not a single player who does not defend well, even in the Raptors, Chris Bosh, who is not very defensive, came to the Kings and became a master of helping defense.
Iverson dribbled under his hip in a row, couldn't shake Kidd, and the 24-second offensive time was almost up, so he made a hasty shot.
"Bell~"
The shot was missed, and the inside Chandler card owner Dale Potter, two people jumped up at the same time, Damham Porter had a push action, Chandler grabbed the rebound, fell down, and fell out of the court.
"Hellam Porter grabs a rebound and pushes a foul!"
The referee didn't hesitate to give the 76ers a foul.
Eddie Jordan was furious and stood up to lash out at the referee.
"Are you blind? This level of confrontation you also blow fouls? ”
The referee glared at Eddie Jordan.
The big black man didn't hesitate to continue to lash out.
The referee didn't hold back and pointed at Eddie Jordan to blow him for a technical foul.
Eddie Jordan wanted to say something and was pulled by assistant coaches like Randy Ayes.
"Eddie, calm down, blow another technical foul and you'll have to go to the locker room to coach!" Randy Ayers yelled, a look of disappointment on his face.
Compared with Eddie Jordan and Wang Mingming, the gap is too big.
The 76ers have all kinds of problems, and the problems on the offensive end are very serious, even Pau Gasol is a little unable to play, attacking Chris Bosh in the low post, being caught by Chandler, making mistakes, and missing shots.
Trapped both internally and externally, halfway through the first quarter, the Kings beat an 18-6, and the 76ers only scored 6 points in the first quarter.
And Andre Iguodala, who had high hopes for Eddie Jordan, was locked up by Ron Artest, not only could not break through, but also had little space to shoot, and the shooting rate was extremely low, and he has not yet opened to score.
The Kings, on the other hand, are getting more and more excited.
With 4:58 left in the first quarter, Chris Bosh put his back to Gasol and suddenly turned and ran to the basket.
Kidd arrives on the ball and crosses the half court with an aerial relay.
Bosh leaped high, his head almost flat, his gibbon-like arms grabbing the basketball and slamming it into the basket so hard that the whole basket shook from it.
"What a beautiful air relay!"
The DJ shouted out Bosh's name: "Chris...... Bosh ......."
The fans at the scene also shouted for Bosh, who landed on the ground and pointed at Jason Kidd for his good pass.
At the same time, looking at the bench, Wang Ming applauded and smiled, obviously very satisfied with the cooperation of the Kings team.
This kind of cooperation proves that the tacit understanding of the Kings is skyrocketing, and before the start of the season, no one dared to pass the ball like this, and they couldn't pass such a ball.
Wang replaces Kidd and Bosh tomorrow, leaving Artest as the leader of the second team.
At the same time, there is also the young DeMar DeRozan.
DeRozan is also a player who flies in the sky to play, and once the air cut enters the inside line, Kidd throws it into the sky, and DeRozan is an aerial relay dunk.
So the entire Kings team seems to be talented, but as a result, players such as Bosh, DeRozan, and Tyson Chandler can jump more than one another.
The 76ers' offense didn't improve in the slightest, scoring 15 points in the first quarter, 15-27, 12 points behind the Kings.
The huge point difference makes 76ers fans wonder if their team is in the wrong place? Is the current Western team already so fierce?
"There is a clear difference in strength between the two teams."
At this time, the wind direction changed, and the commentator began to admit that it was not that the 76ers did not work hard, but that the 76ers did have a gap with the Kings.
The 76ers played well in the first half of the second quarter.
Backup point guard Kyle Lowry, the point guard that Wang traded from the Grizzlies tomorrow, is gradually showing unusual aggression.
This is the fourth season of his career, and at the age of 23, he is full of youthful energy.
It's just that his shooting level is still bad, especially the three-point shot, Wang Tomorrow helped him develop it for a period of time when he was with the 76ers, and when Wang leaves tomorrow, no one will develop this three-point shot.
Eddie Jordan has been trying to let him play to his strengths, which is to train Lowry's breakthrough ability.
Lowry's ability to break through and create damage continues to improve, but the three-point shooting rate is as low as 30 percent, and the outside line can basically be emptied.
Wang Tomorrow was ready to raise Lori and treat Lori as Iverson's successor.
Unexpectedly, he left Philadelphia on his own, and Lowry also returned to his original state.
But Lowry played very well today, breaking through continuously, scoring in the Kings restricted area, and at the same time breaking through the ball, passing to the 76ers to shoot 3 points from the outside, and the 76ers recovered a little difference.
In terms of momentum, the 76ers rebounded slightly.
A few minutes later, the Kings came back on their feet, Artest broke through for a layup to complete a two-plus-one, and Kidd hit a 3-pointer from the outside.
At halftime, the Kings led the Kings by 15 points, 55-40.
In the crucial third quarter of the game, the Kings were full of firepower and blossomed more.
DeRozan, Cosby and others all hit 3-pointers, and even Chris Bosh hit a three-pointer from the outside, and the Kings went on a 37-22 shock wave in the first quarter.
By the end of the third quarter, the Kings had scored 92 points and led the 76ers by 30 points.
It is equivalent to clocking out of work in three quarters, and the entire fourth quarter of the 76ers has become garbage time.
In the end, the Kings beat the 76ers by 33 points 121-88 at home.
At the end of the game, the 76ers players unnaturally high-fived and hugged the Kings players, and in the face of Coach Wang Mingming, they lowered their heads and felt a little ashamed.
Wang Mingming didn't know what kind of taste it was lingering in his heart, and he was not disappointed, but he felt a little pity.
It's a pity that he built such a lineup for the 76ers, and in the end, I'm afraid he will have to go back to the old way.
