Chapter 218 Muresan is injured
With such an explosive regular season record, the Kings were naturally extremely excited.
The boss Jackman came to the training ground specifically when he was training on the team and motivated the players.
Petri, the general manager, is happy every day. He failed to win the honor of Best Manager last season, and this season obviously the honor of Best Manager of the Year cannot be eliminated.
With this honor as a foundation, Petri will never have to worry about not being able to find a job in the league in the future.
...
On November 17, the Kings ushered in Game 15 of the season, against the opponent of the East Side Indiana Pacers.
The Pacers are currently also at the goalkeeper level in the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. The head coach Larry Brown does not have the ability to manage the Pacers into a championship-level team.
If the Pacers' lineup is very poor, it won't be possible. Not to mention anything else, at least there should be no problem in the East to enter the playoffs.
...
With Davidson's current status in the league, he no longer cared about Larry Brown.
In the next few years, he will be the most dazzling super coach in the league, and Larry Brown can only roll in the quagmire of the East.
"Dudu!" The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, and both sides began to appear.
The Pacers' lineup is not bad, but compared to the King, it must be a different matter. Both sides are not on the same level at all.
Not long after the opening, the King easily gained more than ten advantage, and the Pacers had no choice but to do anything.
Just as Davidson was about to receive the goods and win an easy victory, there was a sudden change on the field.
Murraysan twisted his ankle while defending Rick Schmitz. A player like his tonnage is definitely not a trivial matter.
Barkley and the bus helped Murray San off the field.
"How is it? George? Does it feel serious?" Davidson asked with concern.
Murraysan's expression was a little painful, "It should be no big problem. If you take a few days off, you should be fine."
Davidson nodded. Murraysan's attendance rate in the first three years was quite high. In Davidson's impression, Murraysan only had a minor injury once, and after recuperation for a week, he fully recovered.
Davidson had previously worried that Murraysan would cause frequent injuries due to weight gain. Later, seeing that Murraysan had no major problems, he didn't think about this anymore.
Murraysan's injury tonight could also sound the alarm for Davidson.
Murraysan's career has only been six years in total. The reason why his career is so short is that there must be the reason why Murraysan often suffers injuries.
Perhaps Murraysan's injuries will become extremely frequent in the next three years, which gives Davidson a headache.
Fortunately, I chose Nash as my third natal player, otherwise the problem would be big now.
...
Seeing Murraysan appear, Larry Brown, who was standing opposite the court, actually smiled on his face.
It’s not that Larry Brown thinks he can win this game. In fact, even without Murraysan, the Kings’ lineup is enough to beat the Pacers.
It is precisely because it is impossible to win anyway that Larry Brown smiles. After all, it is a gratifying thing to see Davidson's team's strength be damaged.
Seeing Larry Brown's smile, Davidson was extremely angry. This old boy is really not a good thing. It seems that it is necessary to leave a deep impression on the Pacers tonight.
"Doug, prepare to appear."
"Guys, we will play fast break next, and we will win the opponent's 30 points difference in this game!"
"Did you see Larry Brown's smile? Let's make him laugh enough tonight!" Davidson said to the surrounding king generals with a cold face.
"Okay, we will try the fast break tactics tonight. Next, I will play the No. 5 position. Although I can't take a safe shot, the Pacers' rebounds are not good, and I can clean up their inside alone." Barkley said excitedly.
The game started again, and the Kings' fast attack lineup appeared on the court.
...
In the Kings' offensive round, Nash easily broke Mark Jackson's full-game press and advanced to the frontcourt in just three seconds.
After arriving at the frontcourt, Nash passed the ball directly to Richmond, who was running without the ball.
"Swish!" After Ritchmond received the ball, he took a three-pointer without any hesitation.
The ball was steadily hollow into the net. With the bonus of Nash's exclusive skill's rapid counterattack, Richmond's shooting rate increased by a higher level.
Richmond himself is the top pitcher in the league, somewhat similar to the later Bucks star Mike Reed, but his defense is much better than Reed, and he can be seen as a stronger version of Reed.
It is already the best shooting technique, and with the blessing of the exclusive skill's rapid counterattack, you can imagine the threat of Richmond on the outside.
Next, the king launched a wave of attacks that made the Pacers desperate.
Three-pointers were like a desperate attempt, one after another, Richmond, Bus and Christie, all had excellent three-pointers. Even if they didn't hit, there was also a Barkley in the interior to compete for offensive rebounds to play a second attack.
Larry Brown's face turned green. After the first half, they lost 27 points to the difference!
After only half of the game, the score difference between the two sides had reached a point that made people desperate...
The Kings fans have a feeling that after Murraysan came off the court, it seemed that the Kings' strength became stronger!
The feelings of these fans are actually not wrong.
Because the Pacers' inside is not strong, Barkley can actually take on the burden of the inside alone.
In this case, Murraysan could not play a big role even if he stayed on the court. Instead, he might as well let Christie appear on the court. His outside defense and three-point ability can better help the team.
Davidson also carefully discussed the development of basketball in later generations with Sword and the others.
Sledgehammers and others are all players in the future in 2010. The basketball philosophy is completely different from that of Davidson's era. Influenced by Sledgehammers, Davis actually attaches great importance to 3D players now.
For example, Doug Christie should be the top 3D player in the league right now, which is quite useful.
That is, the era in which he lives is wrong. If it is later generations, a player like Christie will definitely become the strongest puzzle for the championship.
With super strong outside defense and accurate three-pointers, any team that gets such a team will definitely be a treasure, but Christie's value is not particularly great now. The value of 3D players is not as valuable as that of the same level of blue-collar insider.
...
Of course, Christie's performance tonight is better than Murraysan, which is just because the Pacers' inside line is not strong. If they meet a strong inside team, if the Kings want to play a positional battle, Murraysan will undoubtedly be better for Murraysan.
