Basketball K God

Chapter 93
When Reggie Tois was a player, he played for the Kings, but at this moment, he had to end his coaching career with the Kings in less than two seasons.

He led the team to only 44 wins and 62 losses, with a winning percentage of less than 5%.You must know that the former New Mexico State University coach was highly respected by the team owner Maloof Brothers at the time. Although he lacked NBA coaching experience, as a former Kings player, he was still very popular with the team.

But in the NBA, just having good popularity doesn't have much effect, because here, it's useless to pay attention to grades, without grades, and to blow your feelings to the sky.

Of course, looking at the entire NBA league, Reggie Tois is not the only one who was fired.Oklahoma City Thunder's PJ Carlesimo, Washington Wizards' Eddie Jordan, Toronto Raptors' Sam Mitchell, Minnesota Timberwolves' Randy Whitman and Philadelphia 76ers' Morris Chi Kex, who was fired before him.

Just 6 weeks after the start of this season, 6 team coaches have already dismissed get out of class, and the frequency has almost reached 1 a week. The position of NBA head coach has become a high-risk position in the United States.

Xie Kai was not surprised that team coach Reggie Tois was fired. Although he is a rookie, he knows a lot about the rules of the NBA game.The team's record is so poor, in order to give everyone an explanation, firing the head coach is the most direct and relatively economical way.Because there is always someone responsible for the poor record, it is difficult and uneconomical to lay off or trade players, and it is even less likely to fire the management, so letting the team coach leave seems to be the most appropriate choice.

For Xie Kai, coach Reggie Tois didn't feel sorry for him, and he thought highly of him.After all, as a rookie at the end of the first round, he is still a Chinese. He entered the main rotation in the first season and has started 4 games so far.During the recent losing streak, especially when Kevin Martin came back and Garcia joined the rotation, his playing time was reduced. In the previous 10-odd games, his average playing time was still about 20 minutes.

One must have a conscience, and not just because coach Reggie Tois was fired, everyone will push the wall and talk nonsense.Xie Kai felt that the king's poor record could not be entirely attributed to the coach. After all, the strength of the team lay there. Even if Popovich brought this lineup, it would be difficult to play well.

If coach Reggie Tois has a flaw, it should be that he likes to use 3 inside lineups and likes to try lineups. In addition, Xie Kai doesn't think he is doing badly.

But I am not the owner of the team, and I have no right to decide whether the coach will stay or not.After coach Reggie Tois was fired, Xie Kai called to express his teaching and care for the coach in the past few months. The NBA is a small society. In the future, we will see each other when we look down and see each other. Everyone is eating basketball, and we may meet again in the future.

The Kings have a game on the 16th, which is a home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are currently the last in the Western Conference.

The Timberwolves and the Kings are also brothers and sisters. They just fired their coach Randy Whitman a few days ago. The new coach is Kevin McHale, one of the NBA's 50 superstars.

Because the Kings fired the head coach that day, the team has not had time to hold a press conference for the new head coach, and will lead the team to play in the evening.Fortunately, the new head coach is Kenny Knight, who is the team's assistant coach, so there is no communication and running-in problem with the players.

The new Kings coach Kenny Knight briefly explained the evening arrangements in the locker room, and he was ready for the game.He also didn't make too much preparation. You must know that the team originally wanted to find a famous coach, but the problem was that at this moment, it was too difficult to find a famous coach in a short time.And what's more, those famous coaches are not stupid. With your garbage record and garbage lineup, you come here to be a pick-up man. If you don't do it well, your reputation will be ruined once.

So no famous coach came to apply for the job foolishly, so the Kings management had to dig internally and let the assistant coach take over as the head coach.After all, it's impossible for the team to be handsome all day, right?

Xie Kai is changing clothes. In the next game, although he has no chance to start, the new coach Kenny Knight said that he will enter the rotation.

"Oh, it feels like a dream!" Xie Kai sighed.

Bobby Jackson, who was sitting next to him, patted his ass: "Stinky boy, don't be sentimental, play second team with me later, give me a good hit!"

"learn!"

Tonight's Sleep Train Arena ushered in the highest attendance rate of the season except for the first home game.I don't know the reason, but I thought it was the team's excellent record, and today will usher in a strong dialogue!
But in fact, this game is a "bad showdown". The home team just announced the dismissal of the head coach during the day, which is the most difficult time since the beginning of the season.

Fans are sometimes very contradictory. They want to see if the team can have a new look after the coaching change, improve their record, and embark on the right path.But they also want to see how bad this team can be, and who is worse than the Timberwolves at the bottom of the West.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Kings at home is: center-Brad Miller, power forward-Spencer Hawes, small forward-John Salmons, shooting guard-Francisco Garcia West Asia, point guard-Beno Udri.

In this game, Kings core Kevin Martin will miss due to injury.And coach Kenny Knight did not start with 3 insiders like Reggie Tois, but used a traditional double inside lineup.Another change he made was to mention the second-year tall turret insider Hawes to the starting lineup, and put the veteran Mitch Moore in the second team.This is an offensive lineup. The team's athletic ability is insufficient, but there is a lot of space on the offensive end and strong outside shooting ability.

The starting lineup of the Timberwolves in the away game is: center - Al Jefferson, power forward - Ryan Gomez, small forward - Craig Smith, shooting guard - Mike Miller, point guard - Lan Duveyer.

The commentators for this game are Groom Albert and Mike Jackson.

"Mark, this game should be the closest match between the two of us this season, right?" Mafu Albert said with a smile.

"Indeed...very close! Groom, your joke is getting colder and colder now!" Mark Jackson glanced playfully at Groom Albert.

"Haha, don't tell me, there are a lot of fans here today!" Mav Albert said.

"This kind of 'Battle of Focus' is logically not seen by many people. What the fans of the home team want to see should be the coaching skills of the new coach Kenny Knight!" Mark Jackson said.
