NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 162 Best record in team history

Battelle was annoyed by Rodman's little tricks tonight, and his state was also substandard.

He took 27 shots and hit 7 goals, including 3 of 33 three-pointers and [-] of [-] free throws, scoring [-] points.

The data of 33 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and it was scored against a defensively invincible team like the Bulls, is actually quite good.

But Battelle was quite dissatisfied, and his face was dull after the game.

He knew very well that Davidson attached great importance to this game. As a result, he, as the team's number one offensive point, failed to help Davidson win the game.

It made him feel guilty and sorry for Davidson.

Davidson traveled thousands of miles and brought himself from China to play in the NBA. Battelle's gratitude to Davidson cannot be overstated.

Without Davidson, Battelle knew that he would never be able to achieve what he is today.

Not to mention the annual salary of 500 million U.S. dollars that he may get in the future, the current annual salary of 30 U.S. dollars is a dream that he never dared to dream of before.

……

Muresan's mood is not much better, his statistics tonight are actually quite good.

The data of 15 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks can't be faulted at all. If Mutombo played tonight's game, he would definitely not be able to do better than Muresan.

But because the team lost, Muresan was in a very dull mood.

Seeing the low morale of the team, Davidson breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, guys."

"Don't need to care too much about this game. On the contrary, we want to thank the defeat of this game, which made us aware of the team's problems."

"Starting from today, we still have at least two months to make up for the shortcomings!" Davidson encouraged the generals.

Davidson didn't just say this casually, he really realized the current shortcomings of the Kings.

This shortcoming is that there are too few three-point shots, too few!
To be honest, in fact, the Kings' three-pointers are relatively outstanding in the league.

Needless to say, Battelle is definitely the top three-pointer in the league.

Richmond's three-pointer is also good, and small forward Walter's three-pointer is also above the standard.

But it happens that he shoots less, and the average number of shots per game is similar to that of the Bulls.

In terms of three-point strength, Davidson can guarantee that the Bulls are definitely not as good as the Kings.

That being the case, the next thing Davidson has to do is increase the number of three-pointers the Kings take per game.

Having been in the club for such a long time, Davidson actually has some ideas that are different from the coaches of this era.

It can be said that it is more forward-looking than these coaches.

Coaches in this era don't particularly like three-pointers.

Because this thing is out of control...

From their point of view, this thing seems to have more factors of luck.

There are not no three-point players in the league, such as Dell Curry, but most of these players are placed on the bench. When the team desperately needs to chase points, put these three-point players on the court to take a gamble...

Not only is the coach not very fond of three-pointers, but even the stars are not very interested in three-pointers.

For example, Jordan, that is, now that the three-point line is shortened, he only takes a little more three-point shots. This season is the season with the highest three-point shooting percentage of his career, reaching 42%.

Even with such a shooting percentage, Jordan still doesn't like to shoot three-pointers very much. This season, he averaged only 3 three-pointers per game...

This is simply unimaginable in later generations. With such a high three-point shooting percentage, why not shoot three-pointers like crazy?
If you don't shoot ten three-pointers per game, you can't live up to the shooting percentage.

All in all, the offensive weapon of three-pointers is not so favored in this era.

……

Now Davidson is planning to start increasing the number of three-point shots some teams take.

Sledgehammer once discussed some basketball theories of later generations with Davidson, and he knew the importance of the three-pointer.

Coupled with the fact that the three-point line is now shortened, it is a good time to shoot crazy three-pointers...

……

In the post-match press conference, the head coaches of the two sides led the teams to the venue and fudged the media. The much-anticipated battle was over.

As for the pre-match agreement between Jordan and Davidson about winning or losing treats, because the two sides played a lot of anger in this game, no one mentioned it after the game.

……

In the second day's training, Davidson told the Kings generals about his thoughts, which was also to increase the number of outside three-pointers.

In the next few games, Davidson tested the effect of increasing three-point shots in actual combat, at least Davidson himself was quite satisfied.

Now the average number of three-point shots per game of each team in the league is about 15 times, between 14 and 15 times, and the previous Bulls are roughly within this range.

After playing the Bulls in four games, the Kings increased the number of three-point attempts per game from 15 to 21 per game.

Such a number of three-point shots is naturally not enough to compare with later generations. No one in later generations averages [-] three-point shots per game, and I am ashamed to say that my team can shoot three-pointers...

With a higher frequency of three-point shots, the scoring efficiency has indeed improved a little, but it has only increased six times, and the increase is not large.

Now it can only be done step by step. If the three-point shot is improved too much in the short term, the state of the players will definitely be affected. They need a process of adaptation.

……

In the blink of an eye, the regular season schedule has entered April, and in the remaining half of the schedule, the Kings still have an away game against the Bulls.

On April 4, the Kings' game at the Bulls' home court began.

What makes people speechless is that none of the main players of the Kings was seen in this game, and even Davidson, the head coach, did not come to Chicago.

Davidson kind of gave up the last game of the season.

Because there is really no need to fight. This game is the king's away game. If all the main players are out, it will definitely be another fierce battle, which is not good for the next playoff schedule.

If you are unlucky and hurt a main player, it will be ugly for the king to be hacked.

The Bulls will never give up on this game. They have a record of 71 wins now, so they naturally want to further increase their number of wins.

Davidson simply gave up the game and didn't go to the Bulls. Anyway, there will be more chances of the Bulls in the future.

After the game, the Bulls set a record for the most wins in a single season in NBA history with a record of 72 wins and 10 losses.

Such a number of wins is jaw-dropping. Many fans shouted that this record will definitely become the best in NBA history, which means that no other team will be able to achieve such a record in the future.

The Bulls are extremely dazzling, and the King's performance this season is actually dazzling enough.

A record of 63 wins and 19 losses broke the record for the best record in the history of the Kings.

This season, Davidson is coaching as a head coach. With such a record, he should be able to get an achievement reward, but it may be because the season is not over yet, so Davidson failed to get the reward.

It is expected that Davidson will not be able to reap his own reward until the season is completely over.
