NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 223 The Inspection Conference Begins

On November 11, the Kings faced the visiting Chicago Bulls at home.

No one in the league paid attention to this disparity in strength. Except for Samurai and Chicago, which arranged broadcasts, no media was interested in this game.

But this is a crucial game for the Kings front office, coaching staff and players who know the inside story.

Because they plan to inspect the goods on site!

The Bulls have three players on the Kings' radar.

No way, in the post-Jordan era, the Bulls seem to be obsessed with the twin-tower tactic, using extremely high picks every year to hoard a large number of insiders.

Among the starting players, Eddie Curry was the fourth pick in the first round in 01. He is 213 centimeters tall and weighs 134 kilograms. With this size, he is definitely the first choice to defend O'Neal.

At the same time, Curry also has a very good ability to eat cakes under the basket. His career finishing success rate under the basket is 64.8%. In his fourth year in Chicago, his finishing success rate under the basket was 67.7%. He is a qualified pie-eater.

Of course, Curry also has a lot of problems. More than 60% of his points come from the basket. As long as he leaves the 3-second zone, he is no threat.

But the flaws do not hide the flaws, this kind of meat shield center is also what the Kings need.

The problem now is that the Bulls seem to have the idea of ​​​​building a team with Curry as the core. This is Curry's second year, and the Bulls do not want to trade away the power of "scraping the lottery".

另一名首发球员是泰森-钱德勒，这是快船队01年用榜眼签选下的新秀，然后加上边角料换回了公牛队99年的状元秀，99-00、00-01赛季能拿到20+10的矮壮内线“船长”埃尔顿-布兰德。

Who knows why the Bulls traded away Brand.

Is it because the captain is too short, only 203 centimeters?

But in the next seven years, the captain could score 7+20 with the Clippers every year. I don’t know if the Bulls management has any regrets.

But at this point in time, the Bulls are very satisfied with the deal.

The media calls Curry BABY Shaq and Chandler BABY KG.

A team with O'Neal and Garnett together, wouldn't this be invincible?
Therefore, it is still difficult for the Kings to trade these two players. After all, the Windy City people have great hopes for them, and this is their second year, so they are far from disappointed.

But it is not without a chance. If the Windy City people really want to replicate the success of the Twin Towers, it is really possible to trade for an experienced insider and lead one of the "BABYs" to grow, just like David Robinson led Just like Duncan grew up.

If the Bulls really have this tendency, then Clark, who has "outstanding performance, exquisite skills, and strong immediate combat ability", is likely to be replaced by Tyson Chandler, who is "similar in type" to him.

Incidentally, the Bulls traded their undrafted center Brad Miller to the Indiana Pacers last season.

Miller showed excellent mid-to-long-range shooting skills in the 01-02 season. His long-range two-point shooting rate for the Pacers reached an astonishing 47.9%, but his output was not high.

However, the Kings management did not consider Miller at all at this time, because in Lu Yuanzhi's timeline, Miller joined the Kings in the 03-04 season to make up for Weber's absence due to injury and Divac's aging.

At this time, the Kings had tried for two years and failed to break out of the Western Conference, so people's minds changed. Everyone was thinking whether recruiting an inside player with excellent offensive power would bring about a different chemical reaction, so they had the freedom to sign. Player Miller this operation.

But now, the Kings just won the championship last year and have proven the strength of this lineup. Everyone is thinking that if Clark is not suitable for the Kings and takes up a salary of 455 million, no one will think of making any transactions.

Therefore, the current trading idea is to strengthen the defensive end to fight against O'Neal and Duncan.

Therefore, Marcus Fizer on the Bulls bench has also entered the Kings' sight.

Fizer was the No. 2000 pick in the first round of 4, and was also selected by the Bulls. He and captain Brand formed the Bulls' first-generation "Twin Towers", but both towers are a bit short. The captain is 203 centimeters, and Fizer is 206 centimeters tall. It's only centimeters.

Although as a rookie, Fizer scored 22 points and 9.5 rebounds in 4.4 minutes of playing time in his first year, and in his second year, he scored 25.8 points and 12.3 rebounds in 5.6 minutes of playing time. The data was not bad, but he was still abandoned by the Bulls who liked the new and were tired of the old. .Being short is the original sin!

Feizer, who is 206 centimeters and 119 kilograms, has good strength, but he also has something that the Kings are dissatisfied with. His finishing success rate at the basket is less than 60%, and he has no basket from the outside.

It seems impossible to put any pressure on O'Neal and Duncan on the offensive end.

However, the Kings have not considered the impact of the Bulls' style of play on their players.

The Bulls are still playing traditional positional warfare, which requires players to dig out the ball one by one. The inside is full of people, and there is no chance to eat the cake.

Therefore, the Kings plan to see in this game whether Feizer has the ability to win in sports.

Does his low finishing success rate at the basket have a lot to do with the Bulls' style of play?

The Bulls' starters are Eddie Curry, Tyson Chandler, Jaylen Rose, Trenton Hassell and Jay Williams.

Yes, Jay Williams is this year's No. pick, a poor guy who was extremely happy and sad. He was seriously injured in a car accident while riding a motorcycle and had to retire.

It can be seen that the Bulls are full of talented players. Now is the time for them to level up. Against the defending champion Kings, it can be said that there is no hope of winning.

However, the Kings did something bad today. In order to impress the Bulls, they directly hid Chris Webber due to injury and directly pushed Clark to the starting power forward position.

Don't dare not play tricks. If Webber is still in the formation, what position should Clark play.

Substitute?

Substitute for a future star, how dare you?

Center?

With that small body, I'm afraid he will be crushed directly by Curry!
So, Weber, you'd better put on your suit and sit on the bench.

Lu Yuanzhi is responsible for guarding Jaylen Rose, the veteran who was traded from the Pacers last year.

Although Rose is well-known, his strength is really average. He is a follower of Weber and Miller and cannot take the lead.

With a ball possession rate of 23% and a true shooting percentage of over 50%, can this still be called a star?
You know, in 2023, the NBA's median true shooting percentage will be 55%.

You don't even have an average true shooting percentage, how dare you call yourself a shooter?
At the beginning, Webb, who was wearing a suit, went up to hug Rose.

Rose was also a member of the "Michigan Five" that year, and the two still had a bit of a romance.

"Chris, why are you injured again? You are thirty years old and you still play in the post. Take care of your health!"

Weber's eyelids jumped upon hearing this.

What a boy, you really know how to make fun of someone.

Is I really hurt?
I didn’t fake the injury just to trick you Bulls!
What happened to the inside players?
Have the inside players eaten your rice?
It is said that inside players are no longer as good as each other after 30, while the careers of outside players will be longer. Webber has nothing to do about this.

What can I do?
Should I cut off 10 centimeters of my legs to play outside?

The game begins, and the inspection meeting belonging to the Kings begins!

　Happy Mooncake Festival! !
