Chapter 279: Successful Transformation
Towards the end of the season, the number of teams in the NBA is gradually increasing.
In April, Sacramento slowed into early spring, and the number of tourists in the California area gradually increased.
The Kings have experienced a tight schedule in March, and April is into a slow rhythm of doing one rest and two rests, coupled with the adjustment of the king's rotation from time to time tomorrow, the whole team is more relaxed in the face of the pressure of the upcoming playoffs, and the players' physical and mental conditions are gradually adjusted to an optimal state.
Wang Mingming summed up the work of the coaching staff for a season and spoke highly of Coach Dwyane Casey's player training plan.
"Comrade Casey's player training program is a scientific and sustainable program, with the help of young players who have completed the transition from college students to professional basketball players, and quickly integrated into the group, adapted to the league, continuously improved their individual abilities, and achieved new achievements on the court."
Wang Mingming commented on Michael Curry, thinking that Michael Curry, who has become the first assistant coach, is very meticulous and comprehensive, and has successfully played the dog's leg....... The status of a teaching assistant.
"Comrade Michael Curry has been conscientious, diligent, and has completed the King's tactical dismantling study to the letter, and has made an accurate report plan for every opponent the Kings encounters, and the proposed tactics have helped the team a lot."
Wang Mingming commented on all the assistant coaches one by one, and several assistant coaches were praised by Wang Mingming at the coaching staff's tea party, which was really embarrassing.
"I would say that this season we've also done a lot of work on reinventing the established players."
"Let's say Ron Artest."
"Honestly, you probably wouldn't believe that a man who has been banned by the league for more than a season would play for the Kings for a season this season, with no negative press, no negative pessimism."
Michael Curry sighed: "Ron's transformation is really quite big. ”
"We, the Kings, are different from the Los Angeles Lakers, we are located in a small-ball city, and we don't get much attention, which is why Ron was able to calm down, seriously study the transformation plan I arranged for him, and follow my request to become the first good player to become a player."
Wang Ming listed three major changes in Artest this season, in addition to the first mentioned attitude, the second is the improvement of passing ability.
Artest has the league's top power, but for a long time, his breakthrough can only be considered medium in the NBA, and now the overall picture has strengthened, and he can also pass some unexpected burst shots from time to time, and the breakthrough threat has greatly increased, becoming one of the Kings' outside offensive killers with the ball.
"The third point is that Artest is smarter." Wang Ming said: "Artest has only one goal this season, that is, the championship, he has always been a straightforward rough man, and now on the field, he occasionally plays some small tricks, these tricks, sometimes just one or two goals at the critical moment, determine the outcome of the game, very critical." ”
"We accept the meaning of this trick, whether it is a black cat or a white cat, if it catches a mouse, it is a good cat."
"Chris Bosh is also a relatively successful example of a makeover." Michael Curry got used to Wang tomorrow's "makeover" of the new term, and then said with a smile, listing a bunch of Chris Bosh stats.
This season, Chris Boshming's stats have declined, but his defensive stats have improved, especially in offensive efficiency, and his true shooting percentage is enough to rank in the top 10 in the league, which is already the level of some top pitchers.
"His greatest success was learning to defend." Wang Ming praised Bosh with a smile: "Before in the Toronto Raptors, Chris Bosh's defensive potential was completely undeveloped, but now in the Kings, what he really needs to stand up is defense, especially in the defense of the restricted area, frame protection and other work." ”
'He's done a good job, he's done a great job with Tyson Chandler, and he's done a great job of guarding the box.
Wang will comment on the performance of the players in a season, but these comments do not determine what role these players will play in the playoffs, but for the next tasks of the coaching staff, and then make a detailed distribution.
In other words, Wang Tomorrow is assigning the next stage of tasks for the coaches, that is, the tasks of the playoffs.
"The team analysis report for the playoffs is not out." Wang turned his head tomorrow and asked the other two assistant coaches, Mike Dunlap and Kenny Knight.
"The reports of the top six teams in the West, including us, are out." Mike Dunlap said.
Wang Mingming frowned, was silent for ten seconds, and then instructed: "This aspect of the work should be strengthened, not only the top six teams in the west, but also the top eight teams in the west need to be made, as well as the reports of the top four teams in the east, we must also hurry up and make it at present, of course, the team report in the east can be done a little later." ”
The assistant coaches are a little puzzled, and now they haven't even made the playoffs, and they are starting to think about Eastern teams?
Wang Mingming saw their doubts, and he knew that some of these assistant coaches had not experienced the playoffs, so their experience in this area was slightly worse.
"The playoffs are fast-paced, the playoffs are very busy, and we have to be in a different situation in each round, and the most important thing in that round is to figure out how to beat the opponent," he patiently explained. If we get into Game 6 or Game 7, we're going to move on to the next round seamlessly, and there's less and less time to study the team. ”
"If you prepare early, you will be able to be confident in the playoffs."
Many assistant coaches suddenly realized, it turned out that this is the meaning, Wang Mingming is worthy of being the coach who won the championship, and sure enough, all aspects of work are more serious and meticulous than ordinary coaches.
.......
This year's All-Star Game is on Valentine's Day, much earlier than in previous years, and this year's playoffs are also about to start in mid-April.
Towards the end of the season, the Kings have become more and more solid, becoming the fourth team to lock in early and enter the playoffs after the Cavaliers, Celtics, and Lakers.
On April 10, the Kings host the Mavericks in Game 80 of the regular season this season.
The Mavericks' previous record was 47-32, and this game was also their 80th game of the season, and there were two more games left after this game.
The Mavericks have a good record, but in the Southwest Division, the Rockets are in the top spot, with a much better record than the Mavericks.
The Kings, on the other hand, are currently 55-24 and have won two fewer games than the Los Angeles Lakers.
On the field, before the game, Rick Carlisle and Wang shook hands tomorrow.
Seeing Wang Mingming's young and handsome face, even Coach Rick couldn't help but have a feeling of indescribability and incomprehension.
"This guy is really ...... Young......."
At Wang's age, Coach Rick is still playing for the Celtics or the New York Knicks, and he is in danger of being eliminated by the team at any time.
Later, when Rick had the opportunity to join the Nets coaching staff, he chose to retire at the age of 30 and join the Nets as an assistant coach for the Nets.
Although Rick Carlisle has played in the NBA, he is considered an academic coach, and his tactical style is more traditional, and after replacing the "little general" Johnson, Rick has been committed to implementing traditional tactics, emphasizing defense, and transforming the Mavericks.
It's just that Jason Kidd was poached by Wang Tomorrow, which makes Rick feel very sad.
Kidd was an important part of Rick Carlisle's defensive system since last season, and now that Kidd has been poached, the Mavericks can only be led by two attackers at the No. 1 position: Barria and Jason Terry.
There is more than enough offense, not enough defense.
"Coach Rick?" Wang Tomorrow looked at Carlisle with a look that was wrong, and called out to him.
Yes?
"Coach Wang is really good, the Kings have gone straight from the belly to the championship level contenders, and you have a chance to compete for the best coach this season."
Carlisle blurted out praise.
Wang Mingming's face showed a hint of strangeness.
In the past, he poured ecstasy soup on others all day long, with a mouthful of poisoned milk on the left and a mouthful of poisoned milk on the right, but now he was milked by a well-known veteran coach and first-class coach in the league, and he was suddenly very unaccustomed to it.
He hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly: "Coach Rick is overrated, this season the Cavaliers, Lakers, and Celtics have better records than our Kings, I think many coaches are qualified to compete for the best coach, my performance mainly relies on the excellent performance of the players, and I myself have not played much role in it." ”
"It's you, Coach Rick, the Mavericks have heard that teams across the league have won all over the league this season, and the so-called strong teams are strong, and the teams that are open in five or five refer to you, you are the real Western giants."
Not to be outdone, the king blew back in a wave and passed it to Carlisle.
After Carlisle heard this, he was at a loss, and was said by Wang tomorrow, as if the Mavericks were very powerful?
Both teams make their own moves.
In the end, the Kings won 56th at home, while the Mavericks remained at 47 wins, ranking 7th in the West, only leading the Portland Trail Blazers by a head-to-head advantage.
After the Trail Blazers, there are teams such as the Thunder, and the playoff spots may change hands at any time.
The Mavericks lost like this, and the number of games from the back team was also closer, Carlisle felt a crisis when he participated in the post-game press conference, and suddenly scolded Wang in his heart for being unreliable tomorrow, and Lao Tzu was about to catch the last train of the playoffs.
......
April 14, the final game of the 09-10 regular season.
Twenty-eight teams are going head-to-head today, and the West is still likely to see changes in the next few spots until this final day.
In the end, the Kings defeated the Nuggets to win their 58th game of the season and finish second in the West with a 58-24 record.
The Lakers are in first place in the West with a 60-22 record.
But after the entire regular season, the Lakers, who won 60 games, are not the first in the league, and the Cavaliers in the East, with 61 wins and 21 losses, are at the top of the list.
The battle for the MVP between Kobe Bryant and James has continued into this season.
Last season, Bryant narrowly won and claimed the first MVP trophy of his career.
This year, James is highly likely to win the first MVP trophy of his career.
James was with the Cavaliers, playing pentathlon.
He averaged 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks per game while shooting 50.3 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from three-point range and 76.7 percent from the free throw line.
This is a Jordan-style statistic, there is only Jordan in the past, and there is no one after it.
The Lakers' good record is a bit like being forced out by the Kings, the Kings have been following them, winning three in a row, four in a row, and five in a row from time to time, so that the Lakers dare not be careless at all, and they have tensed their nerves for a season, just afraid that they will be stunned, and the record will be overtaken by the King.
Kobe Bryant's stats are also good, but not as explosive as James, and the Lakers have Al Horford selected as an All-Star this season, and from the perspective of the American-style complex of lone heroes, James also accounts for all the votes.
In the East, the Cavaliers are firmly in first place.
They were followed by the Orlando Magic, Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Chicago Bulls.
The Chicago Bulls were very resilient, and their record was still some distance from the playoffs, relying on Rose's supernatural play in the final stage, winning 8 games in a row, surpassing the Charlotte Bobcats, winning the playoff tickets, achieving the final moment of overtaking, and staging speed and furious.
Wang Mingming lamented that Bulls coach Vinnie was ruthless enough, Rose played more than 40 minutes in the last period of the season, and for a breakthrough player, breaking through forty or fifty times per game may be commonplace, but the loss is self-evident.
But Wang Ming never expected that Tom Thibodeau, who came later, was even more ruthless, from the beginning to the end, he was not allowed to rest for a season, and he had to "find a feeling" on the field if he was ahead by more than ten points, and he had to "go all out" to avoid capsizing when he was more than 20 points behind.
In the West, after the Lakers Kings, the Houston Rockets are third in the West with a 55-27 record, and the Nuggets are fourth with a 51-31 record because of the advantage of the divisional system.
After that, the Phoenix Suns are 53-29 in fifth, the San Antonio Spurs are 51-31 in sixth, the Oklahoma City Thunder are 50-32 in seventh, and the Dallas Mavericks are 49-33 in eighth.
The Trail Blazers, Jazz and other teams ended up competing for a playoff spot and unfortunately exited.
The worst is the Trail Blazers, the young Trail Blazers, who were still at the top at the beginning of the season, and the more they went to the back, the more they found that they couldn't beat others, it was better to be like the Jazz, and the downturn of a season made fans form inertia.
The Trail Blazers lose if they lose, the Lakers, Kings and Suns in the same division are too fierce, and if the Trail Blazers are in the Northwest Division, they may be able to get a top-four record.
The Thunder entered the playoffs in their second season in the league, which can be described as a celebration for the city.
Oklahoma is a small city, but the basketball atmosphere is strong, and on the day the Thunder are confirmed to be in the playoffs, fans in the small city are excited and can't sleep for a night.
They can't wait for Oklahoma's first playoff game.
