At the end of last season, if someone said that the Sacramento Kings could beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in two consecutive games in the new season, they would definitely be ridiculed, after all, it was the Thunder, the league's most promising young team! The Thunder, who are very likely to dominate the league in the future!

If anyone says that the Sacramento Kings can start the season with an eight-game winning streak, it is absolutely a dream, and even the Sacramento Kings die-hard will not believe that such a thing will happen!

But now such a miracle has really happened, the Sacramento Kings have not tasted defeat in 8 games in the new season, and are currently at the top of the Western Conference with the first record in the league, which can be said to be the best start in the history of the Sacramento Kings!

The longest opening streak across the league was the 15-game winning streak set by the Houston Rockets in '93-94, and the highest streak in the entire history of the Kings was the 15-game winning streak set by the Rochester Royals, the predecessor of the Kings, in the '49-50 season.

While the Kings aren't quite successful enough at the moment to match the glory of an all-time powerhouse, it's great enough for the Kings, who finished second-to-last in the West last season.

In the Kings' 8 consecutive games, Terek has always played steadily, averaging 23.4 points, 5 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, and since his rookie season, Tyrek can at least steadily contribute 20+5+5 average data per game, although the data is not shocking, but it is definitely a performance that can only be played by star players.

In the first eight games of the season, although Tyreco's average data per game is not much different from last season, his performance on the court is a step higher. Playing more efficiently and more consistently, judging from the first 8 games, Terek's offseason shooting training was not in vain, his mid-to-long-range has been much more stable than last season, and the proportion of mid-to-long-range shots has also increased slightly, although the shooting rate cannot be said to be comparable to first-class pitchers, but defenders can no longer ignore his projection, and at the same time, he is only 22 years old He still has great potential, and no one can know where his limit is!

Another promising new star DeMarcus. Cousins has evolved on the basis of averaging 18.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in his rookie season, and has averaged 22.5 points, 13.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game in 8 games. This season, he has also developed a three-point ability, averaging 3.4 three-pointers per game, hitting 1.1 shots, with a 33 percent shooting rate, which is already extremely good for a big center!

The play of the two core players is only one aspect, if there are only two people, Tyrek and Cousins, the team may not be able to achieve such a record at the beginning of the season, basketball is a team sport, and the Kings can play well this season is more due to the efforts of the whole team.

The supernatural talents of Tyrek and Cousins determine the ceiling of the Kings, and the bottom line of the Kings is the performance of all players.

First and foremost among them is the new recruit David. West, who decided to test the free agent market in the offseason, was originally a piece of sweetness, and soon after joining the Kings, he seamlessly connected with the team and became the team's third scoring point after Tyrek and Cousins, averaging 17.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

And another new veteran to the team, Caron. Butler is also conscientious at the No. 3 position, although his current ability is no longer as good as the all-around small forward at his peak, but he can still contribute a lot of veterans, averaging 11.5 points, 4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game is not all he has, and his defense and on-court experience are also his value.

Jimmy. Butler was arguably one of the team's surprises, and if it weren't for Tyreck's strong recommendation, the team wouldn't have picked him in the draft. None of the team was able to sit firmly in the starting position to partner Tyrek in the backcourt, and at the same time, Jimmy's defensive attitude and energy also impressed Coach Westfaal, which made Jimmy, who was not very talented, the team's starting number two. His positioning is simple, he is an outside defender, he keeps an eye on the opponent's offensive arrows, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else. Jimmy, with his focus and passion, has done this very well, and the Kings can have this record. Butler's defense was indispensable.

In addition to Jimmy, among the other three 11 rookies this year, Farid has already established himself on the bench, he is the team's preferred substitute for the No. 4 position, physical fitness is his biggest weapon, and this weapon is really quite against the sky, flying away at both offensive and defensive ends, and his athleticism is a good guarantee for the interior strength of the Kings after the main team is off the court. And Lavoy. Aaron and Isaiah. Thomas's opportunities are scarce, but the future is uncertain.

Although Whiteside's performance is not impressive, and his athleticism is not as good as Farid, he is definitely in the upper echelons of the league, and Whiteside is definitely a qualified backup center. With West, Caron. Butler is the same as Anthony Brown, a new signing this season. Morrow, who also played a functional three-point role off the bench, is one of the team's weapons.

Benno. Yudri, Francisco. Garcia, Jason. Thompson, Omi. Cosby, the four veterans of the team last season, have been squeezed in playing time this season, but their quality has not diminished after they were regular starters last season, and they have enriched the team's tactical options and are always ready to play.

With a reasonable staffing and high team morale, the Kings have truly become a very competitive team this season!

The Kings, who have won eight in a row, are heading into Game 9 of the new season against the Bobcats at the Time Warner Center in Charlotte.

The Bobcats, who had a 2-7 record, were the absolute best team this season, and the team's biggest player was just veteran Corey who had long passed his prime. Margeti, the whole team is made up of a group of mediocre players. Faced with such a Bobcat, the Kings had no trouble and settled the battle in three quarters, and by the time the fourth quarter the Kings had led their opponents by as many as 25 points......

The fourth quarter of the game also naturally entered garbage time early, Terrick only played 23 minutes in this game, scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, and the rest of the main players also played less than 30 minutes.

In the end, the Kings beat the Bobcats away and extended the opening winning streak to 9 games! After 9 consecutive wins, they also began to dream of 10 consecutive wins, 11 consecutive wins, and even dreamed of breaking the league record of 15 consecutive wins in the opening game set by the Houston Rockets in the 93-94 season!
