against the front

Chapter 208 Goal
"Guys, it stands to reason that the regular season is over, and I should give you a few days off to let you have a good rest. However, the end of the regular season is just the beginning for us, because we still have more Playoffs are coming."

"And this season is far different from last season. We were seventh in the Western Conference last season. No matter how badly we lose in the playoffs, even if we are swept by our opponents, no one will blame us, but now we are We are second in the Western Conference, and we are only a short distance away from being number one in the Western Conference. Therefore, all the fans who support us have more expectations of us. If this season, we cannot go further than last season, then I will , you, all of you, will suffer unimaginable blame and pressure."

On April 2010, 4, the second day after the end of the regular season, the Kings devoted themselves to intensive training, making final preparations for the first round of the upcoming playoffs. As the head coach, Ray Ji-Toyes also took advantage of the gap in training to gather the whole team together, preparing to do some ideological work for them, so that they have a sense of urgency for the playoffs and quickly enter the playoffs from the regular season Go to the state of the game.

Although Reggie Troyce is no longer a rookie in the playoffs, compared to last season, Reggie Troyce is under a lot of pressure now, because the Kings have won the second record in the Western Conference this season. In the case of reaching the second round of the playoffs last season, if the Kings cannot reach the conference finals, it will undoubtedly be a failure for the Kings. In addition, Reggie Troyes is now the best player. The head coach is a big favorite, which puts more pressure on Reggie Toyce.

"Yes, we must show a better record than last season. We have only one goal, and that is the championship!"

When Reggie Troyce finished speaking, Yan Hua, who was standing in the front row, immediately shouted the championship slogan, Reggie Troyce, who was still cheering up the players under his command just now, widened his eyes. He closed his eyes and looked at Yan Hua with disbelief.

champion?Reggie Toyes, who never got involved in a championship in his player days, dreamed of a championship ring, but he was limited by his lack of coaching ability and the strength of the team. With the slogan of winning the championship, Ray Reggie Toyce only dared to shout when he was dreaming, so when Yan Hua shouted the slogan of the championship, Reggie Toyce was stunned, this is the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers !
"Champion!" After Yan Hua yelled the slogan of the championship, the Kings players in the training ground also began to repeat the word in a low voice.

Every player who enters the NBA has a championship dream, but in this Kings team, there is really no one who dares to imagine a championship now. Old players like Kevin Martin and John Salmons, although I have long wanted to taste the taste of a championship, but looking at the Lakers above their heads, as well as the Eastern Cavaliers, Magic, and Celtics, they can only hide their ambitions in their hearts.

As for rookies like Dante Green, Serge Ibaka, and Jrue Holiday, who have just entered the league, they dare not have any unreasonable thoughts about the championship, but Yan Hua called out the championship. After the slogan of the championship, the minds of these veterans and rookies of the Kings also began to become active. The championship is not a certain person or a certain team. What's more, when the sky fell, there was a tall man (Yan Hua) supporting him.

After Yan Hua chanted the championship slogan, the Kings seemed to have found the goal and the fighting spirit. In the next training game, all the Kings players had high fighting spirit.

"Reggie, it seems that the atmosphere of the team is really good now!" Just when Kevin Martin and John Salmons were leading a team to play against each other, they were sitting on the observation field beside the training ground The assistant coach of player status, Tyrone Corbin, looked at Reggie Troyce's face that was always tense, and said with a smile.

"I hope they can always maintain this state." Reggie Toyes is still very satisfied with the current state of the team, but Yan Hua's championship slogan just now made Reggie, who was already under a lot of pressure -Toyce, I can't relax anymore, the championship, although I am very excited to think about it, but if you want to pass all the way and win the trophy, you can't just rely on shouting.

Looking at the ongoing confrontation match on the field, Reggie Toyes shifted his gaze to the sidelines, looking at Serge Ibaka and Tony Allen who were practicing three-pointers there. The performance of Yan Hua, Kevin Martin and John Salmons, the core players of the team, determines the lower limit of the Kings, so Serge Ibaka, Tony Allen, Jrue Holiday, Ander The performance of role players like Les Nosinho will undoubtedly determine the upper limit of the Kings.

Among these people, Serge Ibaka, who partnered with Yan Hua to guard the King's inside line, and Tony Allen, who served as the King's main point guard and took on the heavy responsibility of defending the opponent's outside attack arrows, were the most important, especially for them. When Yan Hua is on the court at the same time, when Yan Hua encounters an opponent's double-team, the shooting ability of Serge Ibaka and Tony Allen is the most deadly shortcoming of the Kings.

So since Serge Ibaka and Tony Allen's lack of shooting were targeted by other teams, Reggie Toyce, as the head coach, began to strengthen the shooting training of the two of them. , Serge Ibaka is better. He is in his early 20s when he has a strong learning ability. After this season's targeted training, Serge Ibaka's progress is also very obvious, but he wants to let The opponent didn't dare to let him go, and then double-teamed Yan Hua unscrupulously, which was obviously not enough.

As for Tony Allen, 200 three-pointers a day has been practiced for a season in a row, but Tony Allen still hasn’t made any progress. It seems that he really has no shooting talent, and these are all worrying Reggie Toyes These problems, which have been exposed in the regular season, will definitely be targeted by all opponents in the playoffs.

"I really hope that the playoffs can start later." Looking at Tony Allen, who was open on the sidelines and made two three-pointers and two irons, Reggie Toyes shook his head again and sighed, if he had enough time , to solve these problems, then the Kings can go further in the playoffs.
