Kwame Brown's Freshman

Chapter 91 Tenacious Substitute Double Guns

Local fans in Sacramento may hate the Lakers the most. In [-], the Kings had the strongest and most gorgeous lineup in the league. Unfortunately, they lost seven games against the Lakers and lost the championship.

That year the Eastern Conference was pitifully weak. It can be said that any of the four teams in the Western Conference semifinals entered the finals and could easily beat the Eastern Conference champion Nets.

Not to mention any other factors, the fact that Webber, Bibby, Peja, White Chocolate Williams, and Divac lost the championship alone made the locals hate the Lakers and Kobe to death.

If there is anything the Kings don't hate about this Lakers team, it's Divac who came back to hug his thigh.The other Kobes, Finley, and Miller were all booed by Sacramento people.

As for why Kwame was not booed?This point is very simple. According to Pekarin's "hint", Kwame still has not reached an agreement with the Lakers because of the distribution of the ball rights when Kobe returns.

So now no matter where Kwame plays away games, he can almost see supporters.Some business-minded people even DIYed Kwame's jerseys for his own team to sell, and the market is quite hot.

The Lakers who have just entered the King's home court - the Arco Arena and are preparing for adaptation practice will see a bunch of Kwame fans watching the warm-up in the auditorium, but they are wearing the King's No. 5.

"Kwame, you have so many fans. This is the one that wears your jersey the most! Do you want to consider playing here! The Markieff Brothers are rich, and they will give you a contract that is more expensive than Arenas. Oh." Kobe laughed at Kwame, who was the one who booed the most when he entered the stadium.

Kwame directly ignored Kobe's words and went to get familiar with Humphries in post-up singles.After a while, the coach came and started tactical practice. Kwame’s task is to pick and roll. It’s too extravagant to use Kwame to run, catch and shoot without the ball. Finley is enough, depending on his state and reality. It's not too old, so it's no problem to support it for two or three years.

The amount of practice is not large, and the practice ends after two and a half hours, which is the normal time for a game.Kwame and Humphries habitually practiced for a while.However, since there was still a game in the evening, the two came to the locker room after practicing for a long time, took a shower and left, and went to have lunch together.

"Chris, I found that none of us lived the life of a real Los Angeles player. I will take you to play with me when I return to Los Angeles." The two came to a high-end restaurant, ordered some vegetables and half-cooked beef, and began to chat .

"Okay! I've always wanted to join! But Boss, they won't call me every time you're not here, but Boss, just take me there!" The boss finally got the hang of it!My own spring has finally come, it seems that this boss still made the right choice!
Humphries had long wanted to get acquainted with celebrities in Los Angeles, but there was no chance. Now that Kwameken took him there, he was so happy that he ate beef.

Seeing Humphries' excitement, Kwame burst into tears. Even this role player knows what the nightlife in Los Angeles is like, but he only found out yesterday.

Dissatisfied, dissatisfied, dissatisfied!Kwame was full of dissatisfaction with missing out on a good night out, and he took it out on the Kings.

After both Divac and Webber left the Kings, the Kings became a perimeter team.Peja miraculously propped up this broken king, still standing upright in the playoffs.

In this Kings team, the only one who can be called an insider is Brad Miller, who used to be Divac's substitute.

Brad Miller was a homeless man before he came to the Kings. He lost the draft in the tragic summer of 98, and he averaged close to 15 points per game by relying on outside shooting. I came to the Kings in the summer of 03 and learned an excellent inside organization from the old Divac. After successfully becoming the main center this year, the average of 15+8+4 per game is quite good, but he has reached his limit at 29. No upside.

If you can get Miller's stats and the team's record is good, they should be able to make the All-Stars, but the Kings didn't make it to the All-Stars this year. It can only be said that there are too many stars in the West.

Miller seems to be very good from the paragraph just now, but he doesn't even have the ability to pose a threat to Kwame.

Kwame faced Miller in singles with the ball. Logically speaking, Miller's flexible footwork should be able to block Kwame's breakthrough.

But while Kwame was swaying, Miller retreated, and Kwame easily entered the inside and scored.

Another insider of the King is Greg Ostertag, a 32-year-old veteran. , The severe decline in explosive power and the increase in age, he has now lost the iron blood of the year, and he can pick up six or seven rebounds per game only by experience.Obviously he will not try his best to block Kwame's attack.

Seeing that the inside line couldn't stop him at all, Kwame frantically attacked the King's inside line.In the positional battle, the crushing offense, the pick-and-roll in the bombardment, and the empty catch, Kwame used the King's inside line as his back garden, and dunked as much as he wanted.

As long as the King double-teams, Kwame will pass to the open position, and Miller, Finley, Radmanovic or Vujacic and others are already ready to shoot.

However, it may be that the offensive end was played too easily, and the defensive end began to slack. Although the Lakers played well, the score was still quite anxious.

There is only one reason, the king's substitute!Under Kidd's care, Peja lost his usual prestige. As a pure pitcher, Peja met Kidd's point guard and a defensive champion who worked as a power forward, and his skills remained less than [-]%.

But this season's best backup duo, Bobby Jackson and Doug Christie, have successfully offset the Lakers' offense.

This combination is actually the real reason why the Kings are still strong this year.With Peja attracting the attention of the opponent's top defensive player, the two can contribute close to 30 points per game, which is a substitute score!
The two exploded again tonight, hitting consecutive hits and scoring a lot, which offset the Lakers' wave after wave of scoring shock waves.

The king's coach is Adelman, a staunch supporter of Princeton.This season Adelman used Brad Miller as Webber and Ostertag as Divac, and still played Princeton.

With Kwame and Humphries inside, or a combination of Kwame and Odom, Brad Miller has no chance of attacking at all, so he simply regards himself as a full-time organizer, so the beneficiaries are Christie and Poppy, Under the support of Brad Miller, the two got good shot opportunities in a row.Score again and again.

Kwame dunked well in the interior, and he pulled out to shoot a few mid-range shots when he was fine, blasting Brad Miller into Xiang.

At the end of the first quarter, Kwame looked at the score, 33 to 30, and at the end of the second quarter, 65 to 62. Kwame was very puzzled, why the difference has not been widened?Under their own defensive coverage, Brad Miller and Ostertag barely scored points. Why is the score still so tight?
Kwame's offense was even more frenzied. In the third quarter, he played hard and scored 18 points from outside shots. But at the end of the third quarter, seeing the score, 96 to 90, why didn't it open?Kwame looked at the scoreboard suspiciously.

Kwame was only focused on scoring, and didn't notice that there were not many rebounds to grab in this game so far. The shooting percentage of both sides is too high!Kwame is now 16 of 14 from the field and miraculously made 8 of 8 free throws, scoring a game-high 36 points.But only six rebounds were recorded, which is very rare for Kwame, who has averaged 6 rebounds per game so far this season.

The Kings resisted the Lakers' offense tenaciously, Kwame was exhausted enough and still couldn't open the score, the gorgeous running and bombing met the equally gorgeous Princeton, the fans were hooked, and the players on the field were also very enjoyable.

The only thing that may feel unhappy is Kwame. He found that the team suddenly returned to the state before the transaction. Except for the inner and outer core, no one defended!
"Damn it, these guys." Kwame didn't say anything. That's right. The team has won twelve of the last thirteen games. The teammates are naturally a little lax. When encountering this kind of game against offense, few people Willing to spend that energy on defense.

Kwame found that the Lakers' defensive loopholes were mainly reflected in the pair of substitutes Christie and Bobby.The Lakers' two breakthrough shots are completely helpless. Both of them have beautiful breakthroughs, and their open shots are very accurate.

When the main force of the Kings was suppressed, the score was tightly tied by these two people. In addition, the king's rookie Kevin Martin's strange fast shooting, the accuracy was not bad, and a sudden attack came.All the spectators who were watching the game were worried, for fear of missing every scoring shot.
