"Erwin, I tell you to remember the order of your movements, it's not that you just run like that, you have to observe your teammates after you get on the field, how your teammates run, you have to follow the run, to cooperate with your teammates, sometimes you even need to run to drive your teammates, understand?"

In the interval between the Kings' daily training games, Wang Lei gave Ervin ? Butler explains the team's running tactics.

Irwin? Butler has a tenacious and tenacious character, but at the same time, his running position on the court has always been a little rigid, Wang Lei taught him how to run, Erwin how to run, and he will not exceed it at all, which also makes Wang Lei a little headache.

However, Ervin is not useless, his running and covering blocking and dismantling movements are extremely accurate, which is something that many rookie players simply can't do, in the official games of the NBA, even young people who have had brilliant achievements in the college league sometimes feel at a loss, and they can't even do normal actions, let alone what accurate running and covering blocking and dismantling, but Erwin can complete the run correctly according to Wang Lei's command before the game.

It's the end of September 2020, and the Kings players have been working together since the end of the summer league, and the physical training came to an end at the end of August, and the players' fitness has improved a lot compared to before, and more importantly, many of the players have improved their ankle ligament flexibility, which is something that the players and the Kings coaching staff are willing to see.

After entering September, the Kings began a full-day training with the ball, compared to the training of other NBA teams, the training of the Kings is more collective, all the players will start shooting, running and small-scale tactical drills in turn, while in other teams, this is not possible, they pay more attention to special training, inside practice inside, outside practice outside, rebounding focus on rebounding, three-point practice focus on practicing three-point.

The coaching staff and players of the Kings team were still a little dissatisfied with Wang Lei at the beginning of the team's training with the ball, after all, this kind of training method that seems to be grasped is not good at all, everyone knows that focusing on one training improves faster, and Wang Lei's training method is a little amateurish.

However, Wang Lei made everyone realize that his training method was completely used to match the tactics on the field.

"What is the ultimate goal of our tactics? Is it to create a mismatch on the field, is it to use our strengths to suppress the opponent's weaknesses, and think about it, if our tactics are advanced to the front, what will be the final situation? It is a constant misalignment attack, you will encounter a situation of small defense and big defense on the field, and you will also encounter a situation of big defense and small defense, so in the final analysis, I hope you have more comprehensive strength on the field, and you can use stable mid-range shooting and back body skills to score when the opponent is small and large, or use speed or pace to score when we are small and big. All in all, I just hope that in our future games, those who are taller than us are not as fast as us, those who are faster than us are not as tall as us, and those who are taller and faster than us are not as accurate as us, understand? ”

Wang Lei's words clearly explained his ultimate tactical concept, which is contrary to the current basketball concept, but I have to say that Wang Lei's concept does have his rationality, although it cannot be universal, but for the players that the Kings now have, this is the most suitable concept for them.

After solving the ideological problem, the training quality of the Kings team has been greatly improved, and the members of the coaching staff have also recognized Wang Lei's leadership, and the run-in speed of the Kings team has been greatly improved.

In the training with the ball, Wang Lei's most important thing is naturally projection training, the players of the Kings team have their own characteristics, but the only commonality is that the projection ability is passable, even if it is Erwin? Butler, a rookie, also has a mid-range shot that can still be seen, and at Wang Lei's insistence, Erwin also began to follow Turgun to increase his range.

For the team's number one star Blair? Bowman, Wang Lei asked Blair to increase the ability of the low back, he will be the most powerful weapon of the Kings in the battle, in the position of the second and third positions, Blair has the top physical conditions in the league, but in the past he used to play more from the outside with the ball inside, which greatly affected his offensive efficiency, Wang Lei let Blair practice his back ability to help him play in the future, because in the future games, Blair will have a lot of back opportunities, and there are also many teammates on the outside to give him firepower support, This means that Blair will be much more threatening.

Entering the last week of September, the Kings' training camp has finally come to an end, and the next step is to prepare for the preseason, and the new season is about to start.

The players naturally want to relax when they have a rare holiday, and Wang Lei also took the opportunity to return to China to see his wife and children.

New arrivals such as Turgun are looking for a place to live in Sach, where they have been living in the apartments arranged by the team, and now that the new season is about to begin, everyone is full of confidence.

A week later, the 2020-2021 NBA preseason officially started, and teams seized the time to run in and adjust before the new season, and many teams also took the opportunity to strengthen and trade, and the next trade window will wait until the All-Star Game.

Although the Kings were almost at the bottom of last season, they have attracted a lot of attention this season, first of all, after the Kings changed hands, they had the support of the owner, Francis? Leonard has a lot of newspapers and media, they naturally have to help the owner's team shout and cheer, and at the same time hesitate to Francis's strong intervention, some vested interests in the league have also begun to target the Kings, after all, they don't want one more person to share the cake, for a while, the Kings report is in a hurry.

Secondly, the current head coach of the Kings team is an Oriental, and he is also a very faceless Oriental who was engaged in North American sports before, so Wang Lei also has a lot of attack points.

However, the media and fans of Sachusetts are no longer boycotting the local team as they did before the summer league, and they have quieted down, waiting for the start of the new season to see if the Oriental can really change the status quo of the team.

On October 1, 2020, the Sacramento Kings welcomed the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are also underdogs in the West, at home, and their first preseason game of the new season was about to begin.
