Chapter 239: Tough King
Chapter 239: A Tough King
The away game is finally the final game, the Sacramento Kings,
For the Kings, the current situation is the best, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best in the history of the team, before and after the Kings are like a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, not necessarily good or bad, but to surpass others, it is just like a joke, round by round of changes, but it has not waited for the fresh blood to play a role and entered the endless change, Liang Xiao knew in the previous life, these seasons, the strength of the Kings is strong, Even in terms of wins, it is a strong journey in the league, in terms of this season, in the previous life, it was 59 wins and 23 losses, which can be said to be a result that few teams in the league can achieve.
I have to say that the strength of the current Kings team is due to two people, one is the coach of the team, Adelman, just as an engine determines the performance of a car, and the other is Webb, the leader of the Kings, maybe many times because of the chemistry that changes some non-existent things, but the Kings are definitely the team that has chemistry, because of how many coaches and players the Kings have changed since then, of course, there is definitely no shortage of famous characters, but it has not received the effect it should have,
The strength of the king may not be a few players plus the strength of the coach can be brought to the past, tactics and other effects are very important, but also because the current Kings have Adelman's Princeton system, with a leader like Webb with strength and spirit, which is very critical, and the quality of the team is often such factors, just like in the previous life, the Rockets had Maddie and Da Yao, which can be said to be strong in the lineup, but the final harvest is not so optimistic, But on the other hand, the Lakers and Spurs are absolutely different, with strong physique and high-quality technology, and maybe with a little faith, such a game will undergo different changes, and the current Kings may be like this.
The Knicks are now dragging a tired body with every player, and they have tested everyone's nerves and physique in several consecutive away games, while head coach Van Gundy is also facing a dilemma, after five wins on the road, what he got may be an injury or a decline in form, but every game also makes him not want to lose, fortunately, Van Gundy is still a professional coach, and the players' bodies are not only to support the current game, but also the next period of time will be crucial, There is still a short time to play throughout the season, although the Knicks' average wins per game is very good now, but it is really not easy to get a good ranking in the East in the end.
Liang Xiao and a cadre of Knicks players arrived in the locker room, but they all seemed a little lacking in spirit, this is a syndrome of many away games, although there will be a break between each game, the pressure on the away team for a long time is definitely several times that of the home court, this pressure and fatigue will continue to grow, Liang Xiao as a rookie is now an All-Star or even the core player of the team, but as a first-year student, he is still a rookie, this is an indisputable fact,
Compared with the dull atmosphere in the away team's locker room, the atmosphere in the home team's locker room should be relaxed, the King's home stadium Arco Arena carries the King's dream for more than ten years, but these dreams have not been realized, now is the closest time to the championship, all the fans are not stingy to cheer for the King, this season as one of the coaches of the All-Star Game, Adelman and the players believe that the championship is so close,
"The Knicks have won five in a row on the road, which is rare in many teams, but now the Knicks have won five in a row, and now it will be interesting to see if this one is going to extend the winning streak, but I still expect to create a miracle."
"I'm also a miracle lover."
The hosts and commentators of the court TV station have a lot of ideas about the current signs of the Knicks, maybe the long streak will give people more enthusiasm and even adrenaline strengthening, in the previous life Liang Xiao watched the Rockets' game, and when he reached 22 consecutive wins, he was really excited, although in the end the Rockets were unsatisfactory throughout the season, but they would still relish,
"The Knicks are a team that has undergone major surgery this season, but now this streak does seem to have removed the bad parts of their bodies, and now they are a perfect fighter." The host did not hesitate to praise the performance of the Knicks,
"Maybe it's getting better and better, but it's hard to say whether it's the best or not, the best for the team is the best, obviously the Knicks are suitable now, and I hope that in this game, the Knicks can continue their good luck."
The game officially started, Vlad Divac as the center, Chris Webb as the big forward, Peja small forward, Doug Christie as the point guard, Mike Bibby point guard, such a lineup is necessary to explain clearly one by one to show his luxury,
In the scramble for the kickoff, the Knicks did not have the ability to fight, not that the Knicks' Van Horn is not strong, and Divac is not at the same level, it stands to reason that the 34-year-old Divac is definitely inferior to the younger Van Horn, 9.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists, indicating that the European center definitely does not rely on his body to eat, or he overwhelms Van Horn, who is better in ability and body, when fighting for the ball, it can be seen that Van Horn still has some soft potential in mentality, and on the other hand, everyone is tired in the away battle of the Knicks, and he is weaker than the Kings in terms of momentum.
After the king won the ball, a group of people who were fast down were like bison on the African savannah, without stopping, the Kings in their heyday, there were few people who were not at the end of their careers, like moths to a fire, to shine in the last time, among this group of heyday bandits, perhaps only Bibby appeared fresh, 24-year-old he played with the ball and stood at the top arc looking for the center and the big forward, the Princeton system opened, the first step showed great confidence, the King's Webber is the pinnacle of the sea, Divac is not weak on the inside, and when he was looking for these two pillars, the bison on the outside began to move, as excited as a drug, buying an old body and constantly interspersing and running back inside and outside.
Liang Xiao's opponent is Christie, this good gentleman who is afraid of guilt is out of place with everyone on the King's team when he is on the court, the heyday of the king is very focused on gorgeous play, once crazy, it is like an angry bison that cannot stop, the attack of mercury, the dazzling intersperse, the smart rabbit backrun, the essence of the Princeton system continues to happen on the court, but everyone will forget to defend when this alternative guy always appears in front of you and ends your shot, What's even more infuriating is that this activation has no body, no black hands and black feet, no eye lock throat, only the extreme prediction and flexible technology, so that you can suffer enough in the attack.
Webb has a small hook on Thomas's head, and Liang Xiao has to sigh at the strength of this guy, Thomas's skills in the low post are also excellent, you must know that there is a good interior technique like Duncan, but it is better than Duncan's interior explosiveness, and the offensive ability is in the state of A, can you not let Liang Xiao sigh, the footsteps, hooks, and violent buckles are all excellent,
The defensive end is depressed, you have to defend the opponent all the time, maybe when you don't have an opponent in front of you, and when you find him, maybe he has already entered the inside line with the ball and layup, Liang Xiao looked at Christie in front of him but still has a different posture, but in the previous life, he knew that this guy could be powerful at a critical moment at any time, so he had to deal with it carefully, and make timely preparations when the opponent was in trouble.
The cheers in the arena came and went with Webber's small hook, this big black man seemed to be his dream lover, so treated by these fans, the Knicks, who had endured the cheers of the away fans for several consecutive years, were now a little immune.
Marbury holds the ball to look for opportunities in the Knicks' half, but it is not very difficult, Preston is a very gorgeous offense, on the other hand, the defense is much weaker, Marbury has an advantage in the duel with Bibi, the personal ability of the old horse is absolutely needless to say, the All-Star Game proves that this guy's ability value is very high, Liang Xiao also knew in his previous life, Bibi is at the level of a first-class player, the top is not enough, 16 points and 5.2 assists this season, although it seems a little shabby, but fortunately, it is a well-rounded king, there is no scene of fighting alone, such data is also excellent, the old horse dodged the inside line after the long drive, and sent the ball in, not the old horse alone, because the king who is not very bullish in defense is still in place for the Knicks, and it is accurate in Liang Xiao, as the second offensive point of the Knicks,
The game seems to be a little taken for granted, the Knicks are a continuous away campaign, the Kings are at home to work at ease, the time and place are favorable, the same is not lacking in the Kings team played their own level in the first quarter, Preston is really not covered, Webb and Divac on the inside line, one has strong offensive ability, the other is full of crosshairs, and Peja on the outside line is now the league's air cut and three-point expert, you must know that it is really rare to have such a shooter in history, Peja can be said to be a rare puzzle, Otherwise, he would not have appeared in the history of the All-Star,
Generally speaking, although the Kings' advantages in various points are not very obvious, they are all fierce guys under Preston's style of play, and the Kings still have bench bandits like Bobby Jackson and Turkoglou, Liang Xiao smiled, and didn't care too much about the loss of this game, who doesn't eat dumplings, and besides, the King is tough, and the Knicks are tired,
