Chapter 434: A Team That Can't Be Taken Lightly

The Kings rushed to Denver at 9 p.m., and the game against the Nuggets will be played at 5 p.m. the next day, a full two hours earlier than previous games.

The Kings didn't have much rest, and after they finished playing the Nuggets, they had to fly to Oklamar City overnight to challenge the Thunder back-to-back, but even in such a grim form, David still called the players for a pregame meeting.

As usual, the Kings players and coaching staff gathered in the hotel conference room, set up projectors, opened the prepared materials, and prepared to analyze them seriously.

"At the moment, we have a 23-game winning streak, do you want to beat the Nuggets, tie the Warriors with 24 wins, and engrave your name on the NBA winning streak?" As soon as the meeting began, David asked in a loud voice.

"Of course", "Definitely! "Needless to say? The Kings responded one after another.

"So did you notice yesterday's TNT special?" David went on to ask, "They analyzed our strengths and weaknesses one by one......

"Isn't it? They're all retired, whatever they want, whatever they do," Randolph shook his head and waved his hand.

"Ahem, they mentioned that our biggest disadvantage at this stage is on the inside, and we will be very passive when we encounter a team that has a strong impact on the hoop," David paraphrased the TNT five-man discussion.

"Ouch, I'll go, meaning I can't guard against it?" Randolph sat up suddenly, "But after the recent game, except for the guy in New Orleans, no one can bully me casually, and it will be 55 at most."

As soon as Randolph said this, the Kings players knew that he was scared by Davis, and they laughed heartily, Zhang Feng took over and said: "Then you have to be careful, the Nuggets inside warrior Millsap is back and his performance is not bad."

"Come on, don't scare me, I've watched his recent games, and he doesn't fit in with the team, and every time he gets the ball, the Nuggets' offense comes to a standstill," Randolph spread his hands, his expression extremely confident.

"Wait, you're secretly watching the video? Didn't tell us so hard? Zhang Feng asked with a smile.

"Uh...... Actually, a few people at TNT are right, it's a bit tricky for me to meet superstars on the inside, but don't laugh, don't laugh yet, I admit to being scared by Anthony Davis, but I'm not watching the video this time to be afraid of Millsap, but to study Jokic."

After Lando finished speaking, Zhang Feng took over the topic and nodded: "Jokic's recent performance has been really good, he averaged 22 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists per game in February, and he also scored three triple-doubles in three consecutive games, and his strength should not be underestimated."

"This is easy to do," David called up the tactical legend, "Jokic is weak on offense and defense, and his movement speed is relatively slow, and when he is on the court, he must be paired with a forward player who can open up space on the outside, so he often partners with Chandler." When the time comes, we can stand like this, start with both lines, and stick to him and take Chandler to the paint area as well, without giving him a chance to show his footsteps."

"Listen to you, you're more worried about anyone else besides Jokic?" Zhang Feng asked.

"Harris is not easy to deal with, if they use a high two-pitch strategy to create opportunities for Harris, it will be more difficult to defend inside, and the current plan given by our coaching staff is to help defend ...... forward"

"I'll go, it's the inside line again. Hey, no, I said, what are you afraid of, we are a 23-game winning streak, and there are 2 times this season, ranking first in the West, there is Zhang Feng, there is Lefou, there is me, there is you, the Rockets and the Warriors have won, how can you get to the Nuggets to make a mistake" The expression on Randolph's face was both dissatisfied and confused.

"Because the Nuggets team ......is quite evil," Zhang Feng said after hesitating for a while.

"What kind of evil law? Can you turn the ball into the basket or can you fly the ball into the basket automatically? Randolph lifted his legs, clasped his hands on his chest, blew his beard and glared, looking at the posture to ask for an explanation.

But before Zhang Feng responded, Mason picked up his mobile phone and said: "According to Wikipedia, the 'Black Eight Miracle' was first completed by the Nuggets, and in 1994, the Denver Nuggets ...... with the eighth record in the West."

"Do you want to say that they are currently ranked eighth in the west, and we are ranked first in the west, just against the plot of 'Black Eight'?" Randolph pouted.

"Not really, it's just ......"

Before Mason finished speaking, Randolph shook his head and laughed, "It's nothing, it's just a matter of how many years the hell, you are still worried about this after the 90s, you shouldn't be."

"In the '15-16 season, the Nuggets beat the 73-9 Warriors......" Mason continued.

"Winning a game doesn't mean anything, who doesn't eat a turkey on Thanksgiving?" Randolph continued to shake his head.

"In the 95-96 season, the Nuggets defeated the 72-10 Bulls", unexpectedly Mason gave another example, Randolph could only be silent, Mason continued: "The Bulls that year were unstoppable, they had the most feared iron triangle in the league: Jordan, Scott Pippen and Rodman, as well as the league's most offensive bench at the time, Tony Kukoc, and the most selfless defensive point guard Ron Hubble, and Steve Kerr, who shot 51.3% from three-point range, Even the least famous center, Luke Longley, had a good mid-range shot and turn, and with the legendary coach Phil Jackson's strategic command, the Bulls at that time were a ...... of kings."

"But they lost to the Nuggets 99-105," Zhang Feng raised his hand to interrupt Mason's script, turned to Randolph and said, "His meaning is simple, we can't take the Nuggets lightly, they have the following engraved traditions." Besides, they are currently ranked eighth in the West, about the same as the Thunder, and they will fight with us to the end for the sake of honor and a place in the season playoffs. We have to be prepared for everything, otherwise the winning streak will be interrupted, and it will be too late to regret it, don't you want to be remembered as history? ”。

After saying this, Randolph suddenly realized that he was a little excited before, "Sorry, gaffe, coach, please continue."

"Okay, let's go back to tactical analysis, I just said that against Harry you have to help defend at the front, so tomorrow Willy will start, replace Justin's position, use his height and speed advantage, delay Harris's shot, impact the inside, understand?"

"Okay, Coach," Willy replied with a raised hand.

"If there are any problems, if not, we will move on to the next part......" David looked around at the group.

After determining the general direction of the tactics and the whole team had no doubts, the coaching staff began to play game analysis videos of players at each position of the Nuggets, from point guard to center, from dribbling to shooting, from defensive positioning to fast down habits.

The Kings have worked so hard, in addition to wanting to leave a name in history, they also want to prepare for the playoffs in advance, after all, with the current rankings, it is very likely to face the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs.
