Chapter 871 [Advance to the Playoffs and Win the Score King Again]


In March, the Kings lost to the Clippers twice, and Griffin and Yao Ming blew up the Kings' interior line.The Clippers are recognized as the league's top three insiders, not only strong starters, but center DeAndre Jordan is also energetic off the bench, delivering amazing dunks and big hats.If it weren't for Jordan Jr.'

s poor offense and his ability to shoot free throws, the head coach would consider letting him start the game.Just looking at athleticism, Jordan Jr. is not inferior to Howard.The Kings lost and lost, Vucevic suffered a sprained ankle and rested for two weeks, and the center position was weaker, so he could only make a cameo appearance as the starting center.On March 26, the Kings lost to the Rockets on the road.The lineup was overturned, the run-in time was short, and the rookie hit the rookie wall and other reasons broke out together, making it impossible for the Kings to play dominantly every day.Carman averaged 13 points and 77 rebounds per game, and became a super center when he played the Kings, with 24 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists.Scola had 20 points and six rebounds, and his mid-range shot was accurate.After being suppressed by the Rockets' interior line, Adelman was not frustrated and did not blame the players.A good coach should not expect the team to be impeccable and comprehensive, but to maximize the strengths of the players and strive to play well and win under the existing lineup.That's what Adelman did, and he was able to win most of the games every time he was picked up and attacked on the inside.His strategy is to defend three-pointers, stick to single defense inside, and then fight with the opponent to attack.After Green joined, the bench team was more offensive, and there were more dunk performances on the counter-attack.Although the record is not against the sky, the Kings are still the team that attracts the most fans.At the end of March, the Kings lost to the Nets at home, and their record fell to third in the West again.Except for Wang Jun, James, and Curry, everyone else is in a slump and can't shoot in the open positions.Veterans such as Battier, Ray Allen, and Martin are not as physically strong as the youngsters.The Nets have gone from strength to strength under Paul's leadership, maintaining the fourth place in the East, and his combination with Randolph works well together.In April, Vucevic returned, and the King's interior strength increased.The coaching staff, led by Adelman, is constantly giving ideological lessons to the players, especially the young players, and asking them to do their best.Both coaches and fans can tolerate the team's lack of strength to lose, but they can't stand the players making their own mistakes and losing games that they can win.In order for the team to run in and play better in the playoffs, Wang Jun and James both reduced their shots, tried to play as reasonably as possible, and broke through to attract the ball between the packs.Wang Jun's data of 28 points, 56 rebounds, 62 assists and 2 steals is lower than last season, and he is still the first in the scoring list, and the data of other scorers has also declined.Kobe Bryant was second with 279 points, Durant was third with 271 points, James was fourth with 243 points, and Westbrook was fifth with 236 points.The super scorers teamed up to attack the championship, and they couldn't get unlimited shots, which is the main reason for the decline in statistics this season.Wang Jun averaged only 177 shots per game, shooting 52 from the field, 416 from three-point range, and 28 points from the free throw line.He ranks first in the league in efficiency at 302 and is the only player with an efficiency of 30.On April 24, the Kings suffered a crucial defeat to the Thunder on the road, and the record could not catch up with the opponent.On the 26th, the Kings played the last game with all their main forces, defeating the Lakers 113-98 and ending the regular season.Wang Jun scored 43 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and finally averaged 281 points per game and won the scoring title.Another piece of good news is that the Kings and Spurs are tied at 50-16 and are in second place in the West with a 2-1 win-loss tie between the two sides, with home-court advantage in the first two rounds.In the second round, if they faced the Spurs, they took the initiative.Other stats have also been confirmed, with Howard getting the rebounding king, averaging 145 per game.Rondo became the assist leader, averaging 117 per game.Serge Ibaka won the block title, averaging 37 per game.The steal king was Chris Paul with 25.The 18th place in the West is the Thunder, Kings, Spurs, Grizzlies, Lakers, Clippers, Mavericks, and Rockets.The Suns are in ninth place, the team's trade failed, Carter failed to return to the top with the help of the Suns' miracle doctor, and the team's outside attack power was insufficient, mainly relying on Nash, Gortat's blocking and running.The Trail Blazers had a chance to make the playoffs, but they suffered injuries again on the inside, and Horford and Boozer were out for most of the season, and they couldn't guarantee the winning rate by relying on the outside alone.In the middle of the game, their goal was changed to rotten.In the end, the bottom teams are the Timberwolves, Hornets, and Trail Blazers.The 18th place in the East is the Bucks, Heat, Pacers, Nets, Celtics, Magic, Knicks, 76ers.The Pacers have improved the fastest, David West and George Hill have strengthened the inside and outside after the arrival, Paul George has improved significantly, and with the addition of Hibbert and Granger, the team has a balanced offense and defense.The Eagles became the unluckiest team, and Jeff Green had a heart attack and was out for the season.The team's internal strength was too weak, and it fell out of the top eight and ranked ninth.The East has a good record this year and has a high win rate in the top eight, with the Cavaliers, Wizards, and Bobcats at the bottom.The Bobcats became the worst team after sending Wallace away, with no offensive point at all, winning just seven games in total, breaking a record of shame.It turns out that Jordan can only play basketball, and the standard of running the team is too low, and I don't know if he can continue the record of high picks and parallel goods in the summer.In the odds to win the playoffs, the Kings are in second place temporarily, behind the Thunder.Many people are more optimistic about the Thunder, believing that the "three less" offense is excellent, and Ibaka has also made significant progress.In the past, Ibaka was only defensive, but now he is a mid-range shot.There is a video leaking that he and Durant won by shooting during practice.The Eastern Bucks are completely unfavorable.Needless to say, it is naturally a matter of publicity, the president doesn't want the Bucks to enter the Finals, not to mention that the coaching staff of the championship-winning Kings held a meeting and decided on the 13-man roster for the playoffs.Centre-forwards: Vucevic, Whiteside.Power forwards: Kenyon Martin, Tygibson, James.Small forwards: Maddy, Jerebko, Battier.Shooting guards: Wang Jun, Ray Allen, Gerard Green.Point guards: Curry, Thomas.Adelman is not going to let the veteran Miller play, and he is now slower than Mutombo when he retired in 2009 and has not played a chance.Miller has stated that he will retire at the end of this season and give up his last year's salary.He was also embarrassed to mess around in the team.Whiteside is in the squad because there is no one available on the inside.He was a sparring partner on the team, and he only played in garbage time, and the team didn't use him in the second quarter.Going into the playoffs, it's definitely not okay to bring only one big man on the whole team.Whiteside is working very hard in training, he doesn't want to leave the NBA at the end of the season, and at his level, it's hard to get interest from other teams when his contract expires.Compared with when he first entered the league, he has improved a lot, and he can shoot after a high block, but he is not as accurate as Vucevic and is much worse in terms of confrontation.Carroll is the most unlucky, he defends better than Maddy, and can also shoot and fast break on the offensive end.Because of his lack of game experience, the team still chose Maddie to be in the squad, also to save face for the veteran.After all, Maddie is a star who has the potential to be in the Hall of Fame.All playoff teams will only have one day off, starting the first round on the 28th.The Kings have home-court advantage and play the Mavericks for the first time.Experts are unanimously optimistic about the king, and the strength of the calf has seriously declined.s:
