NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 117

The time for the training camp was eight o'clock in the morning. The players arrived in twos and threes, and there was no lateness.

Davidson was quite satisfied, at least these players didn't give him a new coach...

Because of Richmond's easy-going personality, the atmosphere of the Kings is still good.

After the teammates met, they greeted warmly, and when they saw Davidson, a young and outrageous head coach, they also nodded respectfully.

"Okay, guys."

"I won't talk nonsense anymore. Our goal this season is to guarantee the semifinals of the Western Conference, which is to reach the second round of the playoffs!"

Hearing Davidson's words, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Western Conference semifinals? !

The last time the King reached the Western Conference semifinals was in 1981. At that time, the King's home court was not in Saramento, but in Kansas City...

Since reaching the Western Conference semifinals in 81, the Kings have only played twice in the first round of the playoffs, let alone the Western Conference semifinals, and they were all eliminated 3-0...

Now Davidson is going to the Western Conference semifinals as soon as he comes up, and he still has a guarantee to reach this position. The corners of the king's players twitched, not knowing what to say.

If Davidson chanted the slogan that he must enter the playoffs this season, then they could still respond.

Richmond frowned. He originally thought that Davidson was the kind of young and mature person, but now it seems that he overestimated the level of this young coach.

The Kings' lineup for the new season has not changed much.

There are three more players, namely Muresan, Eric Snow and Battelle.

Richmond directly ignored the latter two. He had seen too many performances of these low-ranking rookies, and he didn't think that Snow and Battelle could help them.

As for Muresan, the strength is naturally strong, which Richmond also admits.

But the original Polynesian is not too far behind. Just relying on the strength of Muresan stronger than Polynesian, how many levels can the king's record be improved?Richmond didn't believe it anyway.

He felt that Davidson's words were too big. Fortunately, this is the King's training ground. If a reporter would say such a thing and fail to enter the Western Conference semifinals by then, it would definitely make the King a joke.

"It can be seen that you don't seem to have much confidence in my words." Davidson said with a light smile.

"It's okay, time will tell."

Davidson didn't say too much, he is naturally extremely confident in the current king's team.

Muresan, Battelle and Richmond, this is a standard Big Three lineup.

And it is the most suitable lineup of the Big Three with twin towers and outside lines in this era.

How could the record be poor? !

Of course, if it comes to winning the championship, Davidson is certainly not arrogant enough to think that their lineup can win the championship.

The reason why Davidson gave up the plan to trade Grant and Webber before was because he knew very well that the possibility of this lineup winning the championship is not particularly high, and there is a high probability that they will not even make it to the West.

But by the end of this new season, Davidson will be three years old and can be promoted to an intermediate buyer. At that time, he will have one more natal player. At that time, he will have three natal players, plus Richmond. Davidson is confident to fight the Bulls.

……

The half-month period from mid-September to early October is generally the time for each team to start the training camp.

On October 10, Davidson finally ushered in his first game after taking the position of head coach.

When he was in the Nets before, although Davidson also led the team, he was not the head coach at that time, and it was purely a formality.

But now it's different, Davidson is a real head coach.

The King's opponent in the first game of the preseason is the Dallas Mavericks in the West.

The Mavericks team has been a little bewildered in the draft in recent years.

Mashburn was selected in 93 and Kidd was selected in 94.

Coupled with Jim Jackson, who was selected in 92, it just formed a backcourt trident lineup.

It's not that the players they selected are not good enough. In fact, all three of them performed quite well.

Kidd even won the rookie of the year in 94.

But this trident lineup is obviously not in line with the trend of the times...

The entire league is piling up insiders. Even a team like the Bulls has to bring in Rodman, but the Mavericks have been piling up outsiders. No one knows what their management is thinking.

Dad talked to Davidson about this a few days ago. In Dad's opinion, the Mavericks may want to copy the "RUN-TMC" combination of the old Nelson combination.

This combination can be translated into self-propelled artillery, and you can tell from the name that this is a combination with quite sufficient offensive firepower.

Richmond, Tim Hardaway, and God's left hand Chris Mullin, these three are members of the self-propelled artillery combination.

Three outside players with top-notch offensive firepower, like machine guns, attacking wildly...

No need to think about it, the coach who can think of such a crazy thing must be the mad scientist old Nelson.

Relying on this crazy combination, Nelson Sr. led the Warriors to the playoffs.

Nowadays, the Mavericks probably want to emulate Old Nelson, but unfortunately, painting a tiger is not an anti-dog...

"Beep beep!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Davidson fielded the Kings' starting lineup.

The starting lineup is actually the same as the King's original starting lineup, that is, the original starting center Polynese was replaced by Muresan.

Power forward Brian Grant, small forward Walter Williams, point guard Tudou Webber.

The Mavericks' starting lineup and the backcourt trident are all quite well-known players, and their two insiders are actually quite well-known.

The power forward is Pooboye-Jones with a height of 203 cm.

Jones' fame is not because of his strength, but because of his peculiar looks.

There is really nothing worth mentioning about his strength. He can't do anything, and can't eat anything. There are a lot of players like this in the league.

The appearance is quite recognizable, with a pair of protruding ears, and the nickname given by the fans is "Popeye".

There are all kinds of strange lists in the NBA, such as the list of the most handsome players or the list of the ugliest players...

Jones is a frequent visitor to the latter list, and he can be included in almost any list about ugliness or strange looks.

To be honest, Davidson actually didn't think Jones was so ugly...

Starting center Roy Tapley.

This guy is also a frequent visitor on the list. He made the list to death, and put his promising career to death.

He entered the league in 86, and when he played in 90, he was directly kicked out of the league because of DU...

You must know that when this product was cleared, it was already an All-Star with an average of 20 points and 11 rebounds per game.

Now, after a lapse of five years, he has another chance to return to the league.

But everyone knows that the dog will definitely not change to eat X, maybe this product will have to be cleared and returned after ten days and half a month.

It can also be seen from this that the DU product is not harmful. If it weren't for this thing, even if Tapley was not a center at the level of the four major centers, he would definitely not be much worse.
