King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 193 Opening Battle = Christmas War
"Good signing, West's mid-range is more deadly than Landry's, and he has a very strong body, he is a skilled insider, and his rebounding ability is much stronger than Landry's ah."

"And as a power forward, he averaged nearly 3 assists per game, proving that he is a player who likes to share the ball. Relatively speaking, Landry is more like a pure end point. Of course, this is not to say that Landry is a possession black hole. I would like to see more sharing of the ball."

The vast majority of Kings fans are still very excited about this signing. The addition of a former All-Star player is still exciting. Of course, some people have concerns about West's injuries and age, and Landry's sports The ability is stronger, and the killing of the inside is also stronger.But the real result will have to watch the game to know.

West stayed with the Kings on the day of signing and came to the training room, and he suddenly became the oldest player on the Kings team and became a veteran guarding the locker room.Westphal still welcomes the arrival of this new player.Originally, he liked to put more emphasis on the movement of the ball. A pure end point like Landry is naturally not as popular as a player like West.

The training for the new season is in full swing, and the King's management is still looking for big fish in the free market while considering selling their two backup guards Udrih and Garcia. It's not that their two performances are not good enough. It's that the team doesn't need two luxury guard substitutes worth 500 million. They hope to trade one of them to get Iguodala's substitute.Iguodala averaged 38 minutes per game last season.Only Casspi has the occasional cameo as his backup.

The Kings already traded their first-round pick for this year in order to get Iguodala last year, and they can no longer trade the pick this year.Of course, the 76ers cried miserably for this, because of the King's record this year, they thought they had won a lottery pick, and they only got the No. 20 pick in the end.In addition, the long draft period this year is not long, and it is impossible to reach an agreement that both parties are satisfied with in such a short period of time.The King finally started the journey of the new season with only West, but the King's management is not reconciled, they are still looking for trading opportunities.

On December 12th, the regular season, which had been delayed repeatedly due to the lockout, finally started. This time, the opening game was the Christmas game. This exciting scene simply caused the entire NBA to be detonated directly in the first game. According to the usual practice, the opponents of last year's finals will definitely appear in the Christmas game.Meanwhile, the Bulls play the Lakers, the Magic play the Thunder, the Celtics play the Knicks, who want to avenge last year, and the Kings play the Clippers.

This year's Clippers made a big deal. On November 2011, 11, the Clippers and Hornets officially reached a deal. The Hornets acquired forward Al-Farouq Aminu, defender Eric Gordon, center Chris Kaman and an unprotected first-round pick (belonging to the Timberwolves); the Clippers acquired Chris Paul and two 15 second-round picks from the Hornets.At the same time, Billups, who was amnesty by the Knicks, was also obtained through bidding, and Caron Butler, a free agent who signed with the Mavericks for $2015 million in three years.The goal of the Clippers this season is far more than just the playoffs.

Compared with several other teams, the matchup between the Kings and the Clippers is not lacking in the exciting points that everyone wants to see. He Yixiang and Paul formed the first team for the Western Conference All-Stars last season. Liang Zi, He Yixiang and Griffin are due to the best rookie reasons, and then there are Paul and West, the two former Hornets' first and second leaders.Both teams are bound to go all out in this NBA opener and the Christmas game.

The Clippers have come to Sacramento ahead of schedule. For this game, they spent their Christmas Eve in Sacramento, which shows their belief in winning this game. At the same time, Barkley, an "old friend" of the Kings, also The commentary of this game, in the previous interview, he also said very righteously that although Westphal is his mentor, he will still express his views bravely. It will undoubtedly be a very competitive team.

"Good job. I like Barkley who is so frank." The King's fans excitedly expressed their appreciation for Barkley, "I hope he can continue to support us as always."

"Yes, this is the best reward you can give to your teacher."

"Maybe one day we can consider retiring the jersey of our old comrade of the Kings."

The moment Paul and Griffin, the brand new inner and outer core partners, got off the plane, they were interviewed by the media, and they were full of confidence in this trip to Sacramento, and they also agreed with one voice. The important point is He Yixiang.

"I'm going, isn't this looking down on me?" Cousins ​​was also very unhappy when he saw the news at the first time. Paul said that it would be fine if he wanted to beat He Yixiang. You, an inside player, have a fart relationship with He Yixiang, " He, tomorrow I will teach him a good lesson."

"You and him are not in the same position! The guy who will guard you tomorrow will probably be DeAndre." He Yixiang spread his hands to express helplessness.

"That's the same. I'll get 8 points tomorrow." Cousins ​​seemed to want to put his anger on the field. As a rookie, he couldn't wait after he hadn't played for nearly 8 months. I want the fans to see my progress.After saying this sentence, Cousins ​​immediately continued to devote himself to his training very seriously. During this [-]-month gap period, his three-point ability has also become increasingly stable. When He Yixiang and After he runs the pick-and-roll, whether it is down or out, he will become a big threat.

At the same time, West stepped up his defensive training with the team. When he played against the Mavericks in the playoffs last season, everyone clearly felt that the King's defensive system was not perfect, and the most important thing this season is Defense, as for offense, with such a group of talented players like He Yixiang, Cousins, Iguodala, and West, is Westphal worried about offense?What should be worried about is how the opponent's defense should defend against these guys, right?
