It's not terrible to lose, the Kings have been experiencing it frequently two years ago, what is terrible is blind conceit and confusion after defeat......

The Kings, the league's No. 1 record, suffered three straight defeats without warning, and lost to the weaker Timberwolves and Bucks in a row, and for a while, the sports sections of major media put the Kings' game review in the headlines.

"The Kings have suffered three consecutive defeats, and the identity of the pseudo-strong team has been confirmed?"

"After losing to the Timberwolves and Bucks, what is the true strength of the Kings?"

"The force is too strong, and the Kings suffer a losing streak!"

......

With this three-game losing streak, the Kings are also squeezed out of the top spot in the West by the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are 15-3 and occupy the second place in the West with 14 wins and 4 losses.

After the loss to the Bucks, the Kings will continue to play at home, with the next three games to be played in Sacramento.

And because of this loss to the Bucks, the day after the game, when the team had practiced, Coach Westafar left everyone in the training hall.

Just after the training, some people were standing, some people were sitting on the side to rest, some people were talking and laughing, Coach Westphale stood near the center circle of the training hall, looking at everyone with a sullen face, his voice was not loud but obviously angry: "Everyone! Meet around me! ”

Hearing Coach Westfaal's words, everyone walked over slowly, and when everyone gathered around him, Coach Westphall softened his tone and said, "The team is currently suffering three consecutive defeats, do you guys have any thoughts on this?" ”

Everybody, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.

Seeing that no one answered, Coach Westafar glanced at Cousins, "DeMarcus, tell me about ......"

With a three-game losing streak for the Spurs, a decent performance against the Timberwolves, and a second-tier foul of the season against the Bucks, Cousins is arguably the epitome of the Kings in recent times.

Cousins looked at his teammates around him, glared at his small round eyes and grinned, "Uh...... Instructor...... I've not been playing very well lately, so I'm going to play well, I'm going to play well......"

"Fight well? Have a good ass! ”

Coach Westphale startled everyone with a shout.

Coach Westphaal is not a casual scolding person, and everyone knows that their coach seems to be really angry this time.

The grumpy Cousins wanted to retort a few words, but was also stopped by Yudri beside him.

"Do you think you can play well in the next game with your current form? If you continue to fight like this, none of you will be able to beat it! ”

Coach Westphaal looked around at his disciples, and he knew that there was no problem with their ability, and that the team's problems now were all from within.

"We've played 18 games so far and we've won nine in a row, five in a row, and I don't think any of you would have believed you could do that last season...... Me too! I'm just like you, and I wouldn't believe we could do it...... But we did it this season, and I should have been happy about it, but now I'm sad......"

"When you lost to the Spurs for the first time, you haven't lost yourself, the winning streak has not become a burden for you, you still know your pounds, the winning streak can be said to be a surprise, but when you experienced another 5 consecutive wins, I obviously felt your complacency, losing to the Timberwolves and the Bucks has nothing to do with strength and tactics, you are losing to yourself! You see, we're not as strong as you think! ”

This sentence makes everyone a spirit.

"Do you think that by winning the Spurs and the Thunder, you can take the so-called underdogs in the league lightly? Against teams like the Timberwolves and Bucks that are not as good as ours, can you win by blindly basking in the advantage of the record? The score has been overtaken, everyone wants to be a savior, and they can win by themselves? Play freely, do whatever you want, cool is very cool, can you win with so many mistakes? It's normal to lose, no matter how strong the team is, you will lose, and now you are carried away by the victory, and if you continue like this, it will not be as simple as three consecutive defeats......"

Coach Westfal looked at Tyrek and said, "Tyrek! Tell me, what are our goals for this season? ”

Tyrek looked up into Coach Westfaal's eyes, his eyes revealed a hint of worry and a hint of anticipation, "Playoffs, we're going to make the playoffs......"

"That's right, we're aiming for the playoffs! And don't forget, two years ago we were the second-to-last team in the West, and last season we lost the final spot in the playoffs! Don't compare yourself with super teams like the Spurs, Thunder, and Heat, we don't have that capital now, growth is step by step, we still need to accumulate experience and improve ourselves, we haven't reached the point where we can despise our opponents, don't get carried away because we have played a winning streak......"

"I've led the team through the Finals and led the team to a 62-20 record, and I know what a real championship team looks like, which is to be at the top of the league in all aspects, and we are far from qualified today......

"Let go of your pride, face yourself, let the glory of the last month pass, don't let the winning streak paralyze you, we're a good team, we still have a lot of potential, but we're not strong enough to crush the opposition! Against any team, you have to give 100 per cent to the game, and if you take it lightly, you can lose to anyone! ”

"I know that the voices from the outside world can also cause you to be invisible, and you can see from the reaction of the fans when we lost at home to the Bucks in the last game, everyone has become accustomed to us winning this season, after all, we can even win championship teams like the Thunder and Spurs...... The comments of the outside world are not something we can control, we must be sober ourselves, the previous record is indeed the result of our efforts, but it is not our proud reliance! ”

"Finally, the team is very strong, but don't underestimate the opponent! We are no better than anyone! No one is really weaker than us! ”

Coach Westphal finished his words with a flushed face and an excited expression, looked at his disciples again, waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse, and left the training hall......
