Chapter 339: Change
On January 6, the Kings host the Denver Nuggets.
The Kings have lost five in a row, and the Nuggets are not having a good time, and the core of the house and the heroes from all walks of life are eyebrow-up, and it seems that anyone may become the next president of Melon.
It's okay if you want to break up with your ex, but you can't hang on to someone.
Of course, in the final analysis, the price between the two parties has not yet been negotiated.
The Nuggets have also been in turmoil as a result, with a mediocre record so far this season, below the average of previous seasons, and also handed over the top spot in the Northwest Division.
The two teams played each other at Christmas, and now they meet again, which is also considered a difficult brother.
Melon was sidelined with an injury during the Christmas game and has now returned.
This season, in the Nuggets, although Melon is caught in trade rumors, his personal condition is good, and he can still contribute an average of 25 points + 7 rebounds per game, and his one-on-one jumper in the middle and long distance, except for Kobe, is the strongest in the league.
Melons are a guest in Sacramento.
Before the game, the media was still pessimistic about the Kings.
The state of the Kings is so poor that they even lost to the Hawks at home in the last game, although the Hawks are a small powerhouse in the East, but the Hawks are fighting in the West, and they are back-to-back, and the Kings have no reason to lose to them.
The Kings also lost to the Suns before, and they didn't show much fighting spirit throughout the game, and they were beaten by the Suns' running and bombing.
The king will be criticized tomorrow, and there will be discordant voices within the Kings team.
Of course, the rumors passed by in a flash, and did not cause much waves.
In the midst of the chaos, it was night.
On the evening of the 6th, Arco Arena.
Team locker room.
Wang Mingming, who was dressed in a straight suit, combed his hair in an orderly manner, pushed open the locker room door, and dragged the tactical board out in the eyes of all the players.
"Guys, the Nuggets we've played against them before."
Wang Mingming said: "But the Nuggets are different today and when they played before, their main core, Carmelo Anthony, has returned to the team. ”
"Cameron is the heart of the Nuggets' offense, in the elbow area on both sides, as well as in the bottom corner, in the low post, almost everywhere in the three-point line, is his offensive area." Wang Mingming took a marker pen and drew it on the blackboard, and some important places were circled and dotted.
"Defend the Nuggets, first of all, defend Carmelo Anthony, one-on-one, if Anthony walks the right hand and enters this area, our players here can properly carry out some assistance defense, everyone pay attention to the dynamics of the Nuggets' No. 4 and No. 5 positions, Anthony's passing line, generally looking for more inside, of course, he finally completes the probability of personal offense is higher........"
The players listened very carefully, and then Wang talked about the tactics of the Kings tomorrow.
"The Nuggets are a more traditional team with a retro style of play, but they have a fast pace of offense, and with Chauncey Billups, he can easily control the tempo. But in today's game, I need you to follow the rhythm of the Nuggets, and we can do some speed-up, especially the frontal frame offense, and the high-post pick-and-roll offense......."
Wang Mingming emphasized some precautions in the offensive aspect, and the casual narration did not make the players feel much different, the only doubt is that Coach Wang Mingming does not seem to care about the control of the rhythm, which is not in line with what he emphasized before.
"In short, guys, I need you to release your energy, you are all young people, you are full of energy, this stadium is your stage, please sweat and youth."
The chicken soup ended, and the locker room applauded.
The players came out in a row, and Wang Tomorrow kept DeMar DeRozan.
DeRozan was a little nervous, Coach Casey had already told him when he approached him before, and now the head coach, is this really okay?
"Are you ready, DeMar?"
DeRozan took a deep breath, and then looked at Wang Ming solemnly: "Don't worry, coach, I've been cheering myself up for hours, I will definitely be able to." ”
"The main self-confidence still comes from your original hard training, I know you have such ability, Coach Casey has said, I also believe that you can do well, today is just the beginning, and when you get to the back, you will be the core of the team with the ball, do you know what I mean?"
DeRozan nodded, holding the ball, where does he not understand what Wang tomorrow means, Wang tomorrow is using him as LeBron James.
"Organize the attack, string up the team."
Wang Ming patted DeRozan on the shoulder, "You can definitely do it." ”
........
Anthony's eyes narrowed slightly, and the atmosphere of the Kings made him feel a little unhappy.
Wherever you go, it seems that fans will put up a slogan of "welcome melons" as a way to recruit in place of the team, especially in the small ball market, which is even more crazy.
But the Kings were unfazed, and the defending champions had a very low thirst for supergiants.
Previously, a website conducted a survey to see which team's fans would prefer the team to get melons, and the Kings were decisively second-to-last with 1.4 percent of the vote.
The penultimate is the Heat, after all, the Heat already have a big three.
But what does the king have? The Kings only have a sophomore leader, the fish belly team's data brush?
Before the game, the two teams shook hands and greeted each other in a friendly manner.
The people in the Kings are not very familiar with Brother Gua, just a Tyson Chandler, who is considered to be saving face, and gently hugged Melon.
This made Anthony even more unhappy.
Anthony was serious and put his heart and soul into it as soon as the game started.
Anthony scored 13 points in the first quarter to help the Nuggets lead the Kings by five points at 29-24 in the first quarter.
The experts feel that their predictions are right, the Kings are not in good shape, and they have met an Anthony who is in better shape, isn't this an iron loss?
No one noticed that Wang's rotation tomorrow was a little different from the original, DeRozan went down early after the halfway point of the first quarter, and at the beginning of the second quarter, he appeared as the team's offensive core of the ball.
DeRozan attacks with the ball, pick-and-roll offense, low-post offense, and one-on-one heads-up.
The ultra-high usage rate of the round made DeRozan's statistics rise, and the performance on the court was also explosive, leading the Kings to a wave of 11-3 small high-tide in the second quarter, forcing George Carr to call a timeout again.
Anthony vented in the first quarter, calmed down in the second quarter, and was even more calm when he saw that the team was so far behind.
The Nuggets' defense was particularly bad, and in the second quarter, the Kings blasted a 40-28 one-quarter score to outscore the Nuggets by seven points at halftime.
The scores of the two sides were relatively anxious in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter, the Kings played another shockwave.
In the end, the Kings defeated the Nuggets 122-102 at home, ending their five-game losing streak.
At the end of the game, DeRozan actually scored a game-high 34 points, and Anthony, who played well in the first quarter, only scored 26 points in the whole game.
DeRozan had seven assists in addition to scoring 34 points, and for the first time in his career, he had seven assists alongside 30+ points.
The fans didn't see the problem, and the pundits didn't find it inappropriate, but it was a typical explosive victory for the players, and DeRozan was canvassing for his All-Star weekend?
