On Nov. 2, the Kings slaughtered the Timberwolves 128-92 on the road.Scoring 128 points is not much for the Kings, because James and Wang Jun only played 18 minutes again, and were spectators in the second half.Since 2004, the Timberwolves have been one of the worst teams in the league, without a star who can get their hands on it.Gallinari is the top player, averaging barely 20 points per game and shooting just over 40 percent from the field.In back-to-back games, the Kings beat the Pacers 120-92.Vucevic scored 32 points, 17 rebounds and 2 assists, beating out Pacers star center Roy Hibbert and becoming the V of the game.Hibbert's inability to defend the penalty area is an Achilles' heel, Vucevic pulled out and played with Wang Jun to block and dismantle, Wang Jun could shoot directly, or he could attract the ball in the bag, this trick The Pacers couldn't do it throughout the game.With Danny Granger injured and the Pacers incomplete roster, their biggest addition of the summer was just the signing of swingman Gerard Green, who was waived by the Kings.This season, the Pacers have weakened.On the 5th, the Kings returned home to play against the Warriors and encountered a challenge.Klay Thompson said that his idol is Wang Jun, who has excellent step-back shooting, can play low back, and can also shoot small throws, and has performed well after entering the league.But the imitator can't compare to the genuine version after all, and one-on-one Wang Jun always has a way to get rid of Thompson and score, showing a kaleidoscopic offense.Redick, the No. 2 substitute, is also an excellent pitcher, strong in attack and weak in defense.Rookie Harrison Barnes became a starter as soon as he entered the league, and his prospects were optimistic, and he was also bullied by James this time.The Warriors' best performer was Lowry, who had the upper hand against Curry and Thomas, scoring 26 points, 5 rebounds and 15 assists in the game, including 8 assists in the third quarter, leading the team to the lead.Noah's play is also crucial, he has a terrible offense, mainly relying on open cuts, passionate on the defensive end, and can do everything to prevent pick-and-roll, low post and help defense, and he and Monroe are better than the Kings in controlling the rebound.When Noah is off the court, Ryan Anderson can contribute consistent outside firepower.The Warriors were a breath of relief, they had incredible depth in their roster, lacked a decisive superstar, and lost the game in the final quarter.115-108 was the smallest margin against the Kings since the start of the season.With the current Warriors roster, it is impossible to win the championship, and it is more than enough to reach the playoffs.Next, the Kings beat the Lakers on the road, slaughtered the Pistons, defeated the Spurs, and won a wave of eight consecutive wins.The topic of discussion among fans is not whether the Kings can have the best record, but how many wins they can achieve and how many points they can average per game.The Kings averaged 1,285 points per game in seven games, which is much higher than the NBA's all-time single-season scoring record, and the team has never had such a strong offensive power.Seven players on the team scored in double figures, starting five, plus Thomas and Ray Allen.Wang Jun averaged 268 points, 5 rebounds and 62 assists per game, a decline from last season, because he barely played the fourth quarter and played only 304 minutes.Even so, he still ranks fourth on the scoring list and is amazingly efficient, shooting 523 from the field and 443 from three-point range, averaging 39 three-pointers per game.The Spurs are 6-1 and second in the West, with their only loss coming to the Kings by 18 points.The most surprising team is the Lakers, with 1 win and 6 losses, and the official power ranking has slipped from the initial third place all the way to the eleventh.The 11th place is overrated by the Lakers, who can't defend against any team, and their only win is against the Pistons, who are at the bottom of the East.Jim Bass also said to be patient a few days ago, and after another heavy defeat to the Kings by 43 points, he changed his tune and let McBrown go out of class.'
It was a difficult and painful decision, Mike worked hard and was very dedicated, but we felt it was time to make a change in the best interests of the team.Lakers general manager Kupchak said: "We thank Mike for all his efforts and contributions, and we wish him and his family the best of luck. ”By firing the head coach in five games at the start of the new season, the Lakers set a new record in NBA history.Brown became the fastest coach to get out of class since the NBA-ABA merger in 1976, and many people felt a little sympathy for him, which was simply unreasonable.What is there to sympathize with this goods After the two sides negotiated, Brown will be able to take away $11 million in liquidated damages, and he has three years and $13.5 million left on his contract.As Ci Shiping said: "It's a very common thing, and Brown can get a lot of money" So, after Brown learned that he was fired, he made a speech of gratitude: "I have a lot of respect for the great legacy of the Buss family and the Lakers, and I am also very grateful to them for giving me the opportunity to coach the Lakers, and thank them for everything they have given me."
I would also like to express my deep gratitude to the members of the coaching staff that I have worked with over the past year, the Lakers players, and I wish them success. ”He was grateful from the bottom of his heart, and it was the Lakers who gave him a taste of success in robbing a bank.After Brown's dismissal, assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff served as the team's interim head coach.The Lakers have a total salary of more than $100 million and will have to pay $30 million in luxury tax at the end of the season.The Kings went all the way and beat the Trail Blazers at home on the 13th.Wang Jun exploded, playing 38 minutes, scoring 53 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.Matthews couldn't block his shot one-on-one.After the blocking, Boozer was tortured by Wang Jun a lot, and was beaten several times.Batum defended James, had poor confrontation ability, and was bullied, James had 28 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.Together, the two scored 81 points.After two days of rest against the Hawks, Wang Jun and James rested at halftime again.After sending off Joe Johnson, the Hawks' biggest star is only Josh Smith, who is terrible both offensively and defensively, and is a strong contender for the top pick.The giants began to desperately reinforce, and some teams without money could only rely on the cultivation of high-ranking rookies to complete the reconstruction.The Eagles are such a team.After a few days of leaderlessness in the Lakers, the position was finally decided.To everyone's surprise, it was not Phil Jackson, who was previously reported to have a 95 possibility, but D'Antoni, who was 5 likely, and was given a four-year contract, of which three years were a guaranteed $12 million, and the fourth year was a team option."
They know how I feel about Phil and, of course, they know what I think about D'Antoni, and I like both," Bryant said. ”John Ballack, Lakers PR Manager: "Jerry Buss, Jim Buss and Kupchak agree that D'Antoni is the best option for the Lakers. ”Earlier, in the stands of the Staples Center, there was a shout of "We want Phil".In the process of selecting a coach, the Lakers first contacted and the main negotiation target was also the "Zen master".But in the end, because Jackson's requirements were too high, the Lakers could only give up the idea of inviting back the "Zen master" and chose D'Antoni instead.So the question is, what kind of picture will D'Antoni take a few veterans to play and run, and it is Nash who welcomes him the most, saying in an interview, "It's going to be a seamless collaboration." ”The Lakers' biggest problem is poor defense, and D'Antoni has never proven that he can defend.Some basketball pundits predict that the Lakers will make a big joke this year and that they won't make the playoffs.This is very likely to happen, the Kings, Spurs, Thunder, Clippers, Grizzlies, Warriors, Rockets, Nuggets, these teams, the Lakers seem to be unable to beat.Even the ninth-place Hornets have played very well this year, and the competition among Western teams is too fierce.s:
