Chapter 143

Founded in 1948, the Sacramento Kings are the first batch of veteran teams to join the NBA. It is located in Sacramento, California, and belongs to the Pacific Division of the Western Union.

In the Pacific Division at the beginning of the 21st century, except for the Clippers and Warriors who have always had a poor record in history, the Kings and Lakers Suns are regular visitors to the playoffs, especially the Kings and Lakers have monopolized the top three positions in the West for many years.

Kings coach Rick Adelman's Princeton tactical system is still talked about by many old fans today, Chris Webber, Peja Stojakovic, Mike Bibby, Vlad Divac and other core players, together with Bobby Jackson, Hedo Turkoglu and other bench gangsters, formed the most entertaining team in nba.

Chris Webber, one of the famous Michigan Five Tigers, can be called the soul of the Kings and the absolute uncrowned king. Many people commented on him as the most powerful forward in history. accessible height.

He can hit the defender with a tough hook in the low post, and double-teaming him is meaningless. The title of the strongest organizational power forward is by no means a waste of fame. While averaging more than 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, Webber can send out 5 assists.

Once you let Webber attack with the ball in a high position, it will be even more terrifying and unsolvable. Whether it is a straight-arm jumper or a big three-step to the basket with a huge ax to dunk, Weber is synonymous with the most gorgeous and invincible in that era.

Peja Stojakovic, a six-foot-nine-inch sharpshooter who is the same height as Webber, and two-time three-point shooter champion, plus NBA steals king Doug Christie, floor flow organization center Divac, White Chocolate, Jason Williams, makes up the starting five for the Kings.

On November 2000, 11, in the midst of the outside world's pessimism, head coach Lenny Wilkens led the Warriors to the Arco Stadium in Sacramento.

This is the home court of the Sacramento Kings. The arena is not big and can only accommodate 7000 people, but the grand occasion of the full stadium made all the teams from afar feel the crazy enthusiasm of the home team fans.

Adelman sent the king's starting five list as follows:
No. 21 2.16m center Verratti Divac,

No. 4 2.06 meters power forward Chris Webber,

No. 16 2.06 meters small forward Peja Stojakovic,

No. 13 1.98m shooting guard Doug Christie,

No. 55 1.85m point guard Jason Williams.

The starting five for the Warriors sent by Lenny Wilkens is as follows:
No. 44 2.08 meters center Mark Jackson,

No. 7 2.11-meter power forward Jermaine O'Neal,

No. 1 2.03m small forward Tracy McGrady,

No. 20 1.96m shooting guard Larry Hughes,

No. 4 1.91m point guard Chauncey Billups.

Verus found a secluded high corner and sat down. He had to admire the courage of head coach Lenny. Not everyone dared to send five young men in their early 20s to the away game without any scruples after losing streak. Play desperately.

If Verus is replaced, Uncle Mu, Big Ben Wallace, Marshall, Uncle Bao and other experienced defensive champions will definitely be given priority. League first.

The opening jump ball, the two sides are very strange did not send their respective centers, but sent power forwards to compete for the ball, the floor flow center Divac you let him jump the ball, his heels will not leave the ground, Mark Jackson is extremely heavy His jumping ability is definitely much better than that of Divac, but there is still some gap in the face of King Webb of the Kings.

Since coming to the Warriors, Jermaine O'Neal jumped out to express dissatisfaction. A strong low-post defender and one of the league's strongest shot blockers, Jermaine O'Neal's talent is far from being well-known to the world. Hope makes his blood surge, and his whole body always has an inexhaustible energy.

Webb, who underestimated O'Neal, didn't take off with all his strength, and O'Neal easily allocated the ball to his teammate Larry Hughes. Go back.

No. 1 McGrady stood at the top of the ring and asked for the ball. He held the ball with one hand and held the ball sideways to look down on the defenders. He was indescribably elegant and unrestrained. Since he started, countless latecomers have imitated his movement. It is a pity that due to his physical talent, he was able to make this move. There are not many people who play tricks.

Peja, the three-point shooter who opened the half-court singles, is as simple as drinking water and eating for McGrady. It doesn’t matter how you play the face-off diffraction. Peja stretched out his hand very cooperatively and shouted that you don’t want to do this. Basically whatever you want.

2:0, the Warriors start off Ma Wei, McGrady takes the lead in scoring, and the King has no choice but to serve in the backcourt.

McGrady, the second-time NBA scoring champion, broke out from the year 2000. In the first year in history, he was able to average 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game in the first year when the Magic was unassisted. Climb up with magic.

That year, the Magic ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference with 43 wins and 39 losses in the regular season.

The offensive power of the Kings can be said to be extremely strong, with an average of 101 points per game and even surpassed the Lakers of the ok combination. It really can only be described as huh.

The floor-flowing center Divac almost never jumps in defense, and the flop king will fall except when he touches porcelain. Webber's physical fitness is there, and with the steal king Christie, the Kings' defense must be better than the Suns, and the defense is weaker than the Suns I am afraid there is only the China National Football Team.

The excuses of the two big colander sharpshooters Peja and White Chocolate Jason are also very strong. You can’t expect them to be superb on the offensive end and score points on the offensive end, and to be impeccable on the defensive end. That’s what the gods of basketball did. Living, ordinary people can't do it.

To say that Peja and Jason Williams are not defensive is definitely slandering them. At least they stood there and stretched out their hands, and they looked good. How to break?
Lenny has been studying with Afagou for a long time. He has already simulated countless games on how to play against the King. He will definitely be unable to defend if he fights defense. It is better to attack with the whole army and play against the King. A team like the Suns can only attack but not defend. It must be food delivery, and the Warriors' players are not bad at defense.

Mark Jackson can be selected for the rookie team of the season, and his defensive and offensive performance needless to say, he is tall and strong, as long as he doesn't face Shaquille O'Neal, he really doesn't look down on the center of the general team.

Jermaine O'Neal has historically started from the 2000 season, and he has been able to send out more than 200 big caps in the Pacers every year. Except for the peak Sharks, he is not afraid of any opponent matchup at all.

The defensive skills of Larry Hughes, Billups, and McGrady have been widely proven by history. At position 123, they can beat 99% of opponents who are dumb, not to mention their offensive power.

The starting lineup that Lenny made, the offensive power may indeed be inferior to the Kings because the players are too young, but the defense is too much stronger. To compare the score, if the Kings attack power is 95, the defense can only be 65, while the Warriors have an attack power of 85 or more and a defense of 80 or more.

The output-type hero mage shooter meets the meat shield fighter tank one-on-one, basically the side with more meat will have the last laugh, the defense force offsets part of the attack, and the blood is not enough, so the one who falls first is black and white.
