The preseason games have never been held in China again.
In this year's preseason, the Kings played 8 games.
The main players in these 8 games played less than 25 minutes.
It is mainly for the substitutes to show off.
The Kings' bench is very powerful.
In the end, they won a record of 6 wins and 2 losses.
This made the team rejoice from top to bottom.
The direction of the outside world has also changed slightly.
Some media predict that with the addition of Wang Yi this year, the Kings are likely to make the playoffs.
However, nothing has been smooth sailing.
When the season started, reality gave everyone in the Kings a blow.
The Kings started these 5 games and went on a 5-game losing streak.
Although the team has 7 players averaging double figures per game, it seems to be a very good statistic.
But the record is here.
If you can't win the game, what good is your team's personal data?
And Wang Yi's statistics in these 5 games are not very good.
Averaged only 20.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.
If this is placed on other players, it is already quite good.
But in view of Wang Yi's performance last season, such data obviously cannot satisfy the fans and the media.
This caused unanimous ridicule from the media and fans.
Although the media are black Wang Yi, they are still a little bit rational, but the American fans are not so rational.
"The traitor must die!"
"Look at the Lakers' 4 wins and 1 loss, and then look at your Kings, do you think your decision is too stupid?"
"Before he had LeBron's protection, he could perform well. He thought his wings were hard and he could fly. Look now, without LeBron, you can't even count as shit."
……
Just when Wang Yi was blackmailed on the entire Internet in the United States, someone stood up and spoke out.
This person is Shaquille O'Neill.
In the show "Open Court" he hosted, he objectively analyzed the current failure of the Kings.
"The failure of the Kings is not Wang Yi, but the team's style of play. Luke Walton's coaching philosophy, we can call it egalitarianism. He needs players to share the ball equally. Everyone's shots are equal. Almost. Let’s look at Wang Yi’s average shots per game for the Lakers, 14.7. In the few games after AD was reimbursed for the season, Wang Yi’s shots soared to 18.8.”
"Looking at him now in the Kings, he averaged only 10.3 shots per game, and 10 shots in exchange for 20 points. Do you still think his ability is poor? This efficiency is already quite high."
"Obviously, Luke Walton overlooked a problem: players have different abilities. As a head coach, what you have to do is not to distribute the ball equally to each player, but to let the right players do the right thing. Those who are good at defense should focus on defense, those who are good at rebounding should grab rebounds, those who are good at offense are good at offense, and those who are good at three-pointers can shoot three-pointers. Wang Yi is good at offense, so you should give him more possessions and let him attack. .”
"Another point is their defense. The Kings' defense is still a mess. Obviously, Luke Walton is not good at training the team's defense."
"So this pot, Luke Wharton has decided."
But fans are blind.
Under the general trend of black Wang Yi on the whole network, O'Neill's defense for Wang Yi seems more or less weak.
Until November 11, the Kings ushered in their sixth game.
Wang Yi, who had been suppressed for half a month, finally broke out.
383 Give Me That Damn Ball!
Game [-] for the Kings is at home.
The new stadium was built just two years ago.
The name is Gold 1 Center.
Golden No. 1 Center has no front and rear doors, but an open venue.
From the surrounding streets in all directions, you can directly enter the arena.
Since Dr. Rana, the owner of the Kings, is an IT tycoon, many technological elements are used in the arena.
For example, there are facial recognition intelligent security systems in the stadium.
For example, you can download the Kings app.
Using this software, you can book tickets, upgrade seats, order food, VR live broadcast, reserve parking spaces and other services on your mobile phone.
Through this APP, you can monitor the toilet queuing situation in real time;
You can view the best route from your current location to your seat.
It can be said that here, the entire venue is an intelligent viewing area and entertainment area, and your mobile phone is the remote control.
Except for going to the toilet, which you have to do yourself, most other activities can be done through mobile phone operations.
Not many spectators came to the stadium today.
If you keep losing, there will be fewer people coming to the game.
After all, people pay to be happy, not to be uncomfortable.
The atmosphere in the locker room of the home team was rather dull.
After losing 5 games in a row, the morale of the team has reached the bottom.
In the previous few games, the head coach would say some morale-boosting words to mobilize everyone before the game.
But this time Luke Wharton has been silently writing and drawing on the tactical board.
Even he seemed to have little faith in the game.
This is indeed the case. After all, the Timberwolves won 5 games in the first 4 games, and they have great momentum.
