In the first week, the NBA announced the best players in the East and West.

The best player in the East, the NBA went to Dwight Howard of the Magic.

In the first week, Howard led the Magic to win all three games, and Dwight Howard averaged 20.5 points, 18.5 rebounds and 3 blocks per game, ferociously like a wild beast.

The Western Conference of the Week award went to Millsap of the Rockets.

Millsap has never won the Weekly Award award with the Eastern Conference 76ers.

This time, he moved to the West, formed an interior partnership with Yao Ming in the Rockets, and scored 22.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists in the first week.

The Kings' Bosh stats are okay, but they are a little worse than them, and the Kings lost to the Hornets before the Kings, and the record is not good, so Bosh comfortably received a Western Conference Weekly nomination.

But in Wang Mingming's view, the best game for the Kings is Artest.

Artest's statistics are average, averaging only 17.1 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, which is a lot smaller than last season, but Artest's defense like an outside gate has helped the team a lot.

Anti-Kevin Durant, anti-Peja, anti-Ginobili, anti-Rudy Gay, except for Ginobili, the other players are playing dysfunctionally, inefficient and difficult to score.

Artest did the dirty work and became a role model for the team, and was quickly recognized by the team's young people.

It also gave Artest a strange feeling, there has never been a team, there are so many people like him, he feels like playing in the Kings, the atmosphere is really good.

At this time, DeRozan followed Wang Mingming's advice and approached Artest, hoping that Artest could teach him to defend.

"Me?"

Artest was taken aback that he had never taught anyone else to play before.

"Yes, Brother Ron, I want you to be my teacher, teach me the secrets of your defense, and make me a good man like you."

Artest blushed, thinking to himself if he was so good?

"Anyway, I really don't seem to have any skills, my defense is experience + confrontation, keep fighting, stay aggressive, and make the opponent uncomfortable." Artest said modestly, and made a joke at the end, "Are you interested in learning trash talk with me, trash talk is very good, and it belongs to the top in the league." ”

DeRozan: "......"

'To be honest, you can learn from my defense, but the best of all, I think you can go and learn from the manager, who should be able to help you. Artest decided to send DeRozan away, he really felt that he had nothing to teach, and he had never learned from others in this defense, he was born.

When DeRozan heard Artest say this, his face suddenly became very strange.

"What's wrong?" Artest asked.

DeRozan said: "The manager said, let me learn from you......."

Artest: "......."

Artest fell into deep thought, he observed DeRozan, DeRozan's small arms and legs, how to learn from him who is five big and three thick, defense is based on the body, there is no body........ Wait, is the coach so?

Artest's eyes suddenly lit up, and a bright light crossed his mind.

"I see!"

He said suddenly excitedly.

This surprise scared the young DeRozan, thinking that there was nothing wrong with Big Brother, right?

"What do you know?"

"I know what the coach means, oh my God, I'm such a genius." Artest patted his chest, and then patted DeRozan on the shoulder: "Demar, starting tomorrow, you can practice with me, make sure you can be a good defensive player, no problem." ”

Artest's change was so fast that DeRozan secretly called the head coach a good name, and DeRozan was happy when he heard that Artest was willing to teach.

After a while, Artestela came over with a sturdy white man.

"Here, meet me, this is Wayne, my personal trainer and nutritionist." Artest said to a confused DeRozan.

DeRozan opened his mouth and shook his hand politely.

"Wayne, starting tomorrow, I'm going to prepare a double portion of my training meal."

"What?"

"Also, this little brother will train with us from tomorrow, you look at his bones, this body, there is a lot to do."

"Wait, isn't it......." DeRozan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, and Wayne, who received the new business, hugged DeRozan happily and warmly, "Don't worry, Demar, in my hands, I guarantee that you will be strong immediately." ”

........

The next day, Wang Mingming heard that DeRozan was training with Artest's personal trainer.

"It doesn't conflict with the team's physical training and shooting training, right?" Wang asked Assistant Coach Dwayne Casey tomorrow, and Casey smiled and said no conflict.

"These trainers are qualified, they mainly do targeted intensive training for the players, they know what to do, they are professional."

"That'll do."

After hearing this, the king put it aside, and then told Casey about something else.

"Casey, what are your thoughts on the trade of interior players?" Wang asked, then pulled out the scouting reports of several players he had scouted on the free market and handed them to Casey.

Casey frowned after reading Wang's report tomorrow.

"Wang, I think it's not good to trade now that we're just starting out."

"Just beginning? What to start with? Wang asked puzzled.

Casey was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Of course we are in such a good state, now 3-1, we are in third place in the West, the team can beat strong opponents, and we can win against weak teams, at the beginning of the season, the transaction will inevitably make the army unstable and affect the morale of the team's players." ”

"Hmm......" Wang Ming fell into deep thought, what Casey said made sense, he could trade, but he had to consider the change in the hearts of the players, if the trade destroys the team's chemistry now, it will really be worth the loss.

'Wang, I think we can give the young players more confidence, you have to give them a period of development, and I can see that these players are working very hard and they are very talented. Casey was also worried about whether Wang Tomorrow was in a hurry to trade because he didn't have any expectations for the rookie, so he hurriedly persuaded Wang Tomorrow based on his own observations.

Wang Tomorrow laughed dumbly, how could he not have confidence in the young players, he can be said to know the potential of the players most intuitively.

He saw that Casey was talking energetically, and he was not too embarrassed to interrupt him, so he coped with it.

I didn't expect it to be over at the end, and Casey came to say.

"Ahem, in fact, I just read your report, Daben is very good, if we can recover fifty percent of our strength, it is worth our efforts for this."
