Chapter 271: Dedicated to the Coach

It's a wave of road trips for the 76ers, starting in the East.

It started with Washington and played a game for the Wizards.

But then they didn't fly directly to the west, but spent a Christmas at home, about three or four days before and after, and all rested.

After Christmas, the 76ers flew to the West, first against the Jazz and then against the Trail Blazers, with a 1-1 record.

Now come to Sacramento and take on the Kings on the road.

If there is any connection between the two teams, it is nothing more than that Wang Mingming was or is now coached, and in addition, there is no resentment in the past and no enmity in recent days.

Wang left Philadelphia tomorrow, and some uncalm fans in Philadelphia publicly blamed Wang tomorrow.

There are even many people who do not understand Wang Mingming's actions and call Wang Mingming a traitor.

"The 76ers gave you the opportunity to grow and coach, and you didn't want to make progress, you didn't repay the 76ers, but left Philadelphia and went to coach elsewhere, isn't this just two or five boys?"

They won't see that the 76ers are only willing to give Wang tomorrow an annual salary of 4 million, nor will they see that the 76ers have no desire to keep Wang tomorrow at all, let alone understand the dirty things that are faintly emerging between the 76ers' uniform team, they are only willing to believe what they see with their eyes.

If the king leaves tomorrow, he will be a traitor, and there is no room for negotiation.

So this made Wang Ming very hurt, and he never said in public that he missed the 76ers.

But the 76ers are a little nostalgic for Wang's tomorrow.

This season, the 76ers have Eddie Jordan as the head coach and the team left by Wang Tomorrow as the lineup, but the result is only 15-15 so far, winning and losing in half.

The 76ers' record is in the East, and they can only just rank eighth, and teams such as the Bobcats, Bulls, and Raptors behind them may surpass them at any time.

"We're missing Paul Millsap." Eddie Jordan said the team's second team lacks impact right now.

"It's a huge loss for our team in the offseason, and now that the Rockets are firmly in the ranks of the Western Conference powerhouses, it's a testament to that, and Paul Millsap shouldn't have let him go in the offseason."

"Yes, we've had some difficulties right now, we've had some roster changes, we're getting injured, but I'm sure we'll be able to get back to the top of the East with the season going on and we're going to keep grinding."

Eddie Jordan's speech-like speech was deafening, and it really calmed many people, making many people think that the reason why the 76ers couldn't do it was because of the lack of Paul Millsap, who is now thriving in the West.

So, who let Paul Millsap go?

This came back to Billy King's head, so this incident made Billy King very annoyed and had a trace of resentment towards Eddie Jordan, who was still in the honeymoon period.

There are also quite a few sensible ones who scoff at Eddie Jordan's explanation.

It's obviously not as good as Wang Mingming, why do you blame the team lineup? With the same lineup, Wang Ming has won the championship and has always been in the top three in the East.

It was also because of Eddie Jordan's interview that Kings fans were angry when they heard it.

Ron Artest interviewed:

"I don't know how strong the 76ers are, I only know that the original head coach of the 76ers, now in our Kings team, we are under the leadership of Coach Wang Mingming, and we are creating a new team history, Coach Wang Mingming is the strongest coach I have ever seen, one person changes a team. He was with the 76ers, changed the 76ers, took the 76ers from the underdogs to the point of a championship, and at the Kings, took us from the bottom of the league last season to the second place in the West now. ”

Artest said the truth, and there was nothing to refute, and after Eddie Jordan heard it, he was furious but helpless.

In fact, the current players of the 76ers also have grievances, and the biggest grievance is Allen Iverson.

Iverson's efficiency has declined, and Eddie Jordan's current tactical focus is gradually tilting towards Andre Iguodala.

This season, there are few tactics in Eddie Jordan's tactical system specifically designed for Iverson, who has gradually become the team's possession point, neither the team's tactical initiation point nor the team's offensive endpoint, and the position and role are quite awkward.

Iverson is currently averaging 19.8 points per game while shooting 39.8 percent from the field, setting a career-low scoring average per game.

Iguodala, on the other hand, averaged 18.6 points per game and shot 46.7 percent from the field, setting a new career record.

Ordinary people still think that the beautiful inheritance between Philadelphia AI, who knows, even Iverson has a slight rift with the head coach.

The 76ers arrived in Sacramento a day early.

The king invited his former disciples to a supper tomorrow.

Everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they met with Wang tomorrow, talking and laughing with each other and greeting each other.

The next day, Arco Arena.

In the Arco Arena, the attendance rate reached 8 percent.

In the pre-game arrangement before the start of the game, Wang found that the players of the Kings team were full of righteous indignation, and before the game started, they were already very excited and morale.

The pre-game slogan, Wang just shouted "one, two, three!" tomorrow! ”

As a result, the players went one after another, and even changed the pre-match slogan "For the coach!" ”

Ay?

Wang Mingming looked confused.

He reacted immediately, a warm current surged in his heart, and he shook his head: "These guys." ”

On the spot, Kings starts: Kidd, DeRozan, Artest, Chris Bosh and Tyson Chandler.

76ers starters: Allen Iverson, Willie Green, Iguodala, Pau Gasol, Durham Porter.

Since Eddie Jordan came to power, he has been working to eliminate the influence left by the Wang Tomorrow era, starting five people, and only the shooting guard position can be moved.

Willie Green has come into the spotlight of Eddie Jordan, and now, Willie Green has been a two-month starter, while Safrosa has dropped off the bench.

Is Willie Green a starter or not? Wang Mingming felt that Eddie Jordan was a little stubborn.

Chandler jumps to win Durham Porter.

Kidd was advancing at a rapid pace, with great momentum.

Artest and Kidd played a pick-and-roll screen, and Kidd passed back to Artest, forcing the switch to defend his Iverson at this time.

After Eddie Jordan came to power, one of the tactical changes he made to the Wang Tomorrow era was to insist on changing the defense, and Wang Tomorrow insisted on a partial change of defense, with the flanks exchangeable, the forward line exchangeable, and the interior line exchanged.

For Iverson's defense, Wang Tomorrow has always preferred Iverson to take a detour and give others space to shoot rather than change defenses.

In the face of Kidd, Kidd's shooting ability was not strong, so he had to choose to change defenses.

Directly gave Artest the opportunity to attack in a misplaced position.

Artest was like a brutal bison, breaking through on the right side with the ball, knocking away the emaciated Iverson alive and then attracting the inside lineman Durham Porter to help the defense.

After hitting the ground for a point, Tyson Chandler took the ball and flew a little into the air.

Dareham Potter jumped up before he had time to think.

Chandler turned his body under the basket, took a step, raised the basketball with both hands, and "bang" to complete the dunk.

"To the coach!"

Chandler yelled at the camera, and the sound was heard through the live camera sound, to the ears of the fans, and to the ears of Eddie Jordan and Wang Tomorrow on the sidelines.

Eddie Jordan's face was pale, and his heart was already in turmoil.
