Back home, Deng Fang sat on the sofa drinking tea and asked: "How many ability points can I get in this game?"
"4." The system replied.
"Huh?" Deng Fang was a little surprised: "Isn't it two?"
"Since you installed X very well and attracted a lot of attention, the system specially rewards you with two ability points." the system replied.
Is there such a thing?
This is a good thing!
"Then if you win the next game, can you get 6 ability points?" Deng Fang asked.
"Not necessarily." The system replied: "Whether you are rewarded or not, and the amount of the reward depends on two factors: the effect of your equipment and the number of consecutive wins."
That’s it!
It seems that I have to continue to pretend to be X.
But this is not bad, at least there is hope.
Now Deng Fang has 10 ability points!
Even if a main player is injured, as long as the injury is not too serious, it will be fine.
…
The game against the Kings will be held the day after tomorrow, and what the Warriors need to do is targeted training.
With the ability value, Deng Fang felt at ease.
I dare to increase the intensity during training.
Although he talks big words to the outside world, Deng Fang is very strict within the team.
The usual training intensity is always very high, especially when it comes to shooting, Deng Fang is very strict.
One day later, the entire Warriors team flew to ARCO Arena, the home of the Sacramento Kings.
At 8 pm on November 8, the game between the Warriors and Kings officially started at the Kings home court.
The Kings' starting lineup is Tyreke Evans, Udrih, Nocioni, Hawes and Jason Thompson.
The first is Tyreke Evans. Although he is a rookie, he is still the core of the team.
The Kings are very optimistic about Tyreke Evans' prospects.
Another defender, Udrih, is 27 years old. He is accurate in the mid-range and good at shooting after the pick-and-roll, but his athletic ability is poor and he is a weakness defensively.
In addition, Udrih is only accurate in the mid-range, and his three-pointers are not very reliable.
Argentinian Nocioni is 30 years old and a small forward. His shooting is accurate and his three-pointers are also very good.
The same problem is that Nocioni's pace is slower and he is not too young. Although he is very tough on the defensive end, he has difficulty guarding big men and small defenders in the interior.
Hawes was selected by the Kings with the 10th pick in the first round of 2007. He is 2.16 meters tall and is a center with shooting ability.
However, Hawes is very weak defensively and cannot fight against it.
More importantly, Hawes's shooting ability in the early stages of his career was not outstanding, especially three-pointers, which were even less reliable.
Jason Thompson was selected by the Kings with the 12th overall pick in the first round last year. He is 2.1 meters tall and plays power forward.
Jason Thompson's physical fitness is still good, and his defense is not bad, but his skills are rough and his scoring basically relies on eating cakes.
Obviously, the strength of the Kings' starting lineup is not very good.
Evans has no shooting ability, Udrih has an average long-range shot, and the same goes for Hawes and Jason Thompson.
Therefore, on the offensive end, the Kings will rely more on scoring at the basket.
Therefore, the Warriors' penalty area will also be crowded.
The Kings aren't that good defensively either.
Nocioni's pace was slow, and Udri's pace was not only slow, but he was also not good at confrontation.
Evans is not bad, but he puts more energy on the offensive end. He is not very active on the defensive end and his habits are not very good.
As for Jason Thompson and Hawes, they can defend the interior well, but it will be troublesome when they encounter defenders like Curry and shooters like the Warriors.
In fact, the Kings also have a top scorer, and that is Kevin Martin.
Kevin Martin has accurate three-pointers, outstanding foul-drawing ability, and strong scoring ability.
However, due to injury, Kevin Martin was unable to play in this game.
In fact, the Kings' most important task this season is to train Tyreke Evans.
To do this, the Kings gave up everything.
Including winning!
To be honest, this idea of team building is problematic.
Deng Fang clearly remembers a game between the Rockets and the Kings near the end of this season in history.
At that time, the Rockets were ranked ninth in the Western Conference and were already determined to miss the playoffs.
The Kings are even worse, ranking second to last in the Western Conference and missing the playoffs early on.
This is the penultimate game of the season for the Rockets, and so are the Kings.
In the end, the Rockets defeated the Kings 117-107 on the road.
With more than six minutes left in the fourth quarter, Evans made two free throws and scored 24 points, officially completing the season's average of 20+5+5 per game.
This also makes Evans the fourth player in league history to average 20+5+5 in his rookie season, following Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
At that time, all the Kings fans stood up and applauded Evans for a long time, and even California Governor Schwarzenegger, who was watching the game, joined in the cheers.
But what is embarrassing is that these 2 points were all Evans scored in the second half, and the Rockets took advantage of Evans's slump to widen the point difference to double digits.
The Kings once led by 14 points in the game, but eventually lost by 10 points. This was their 10th loss in the last 12 games of the season.
Evans was also very excited at the time, and the Kings' management was also very satisfied with the result.
But for a player and a team, chasing victory should always come first.
Of course it is better to have good data, but if you don’t have it, you shouldn’t pursue it too much.
The data of winning the game is more meaningful.
Therefore, the selection of awards such as All-Star and MVP have a very large proportion in considering the team's record.
But the Kings actually created such an atmosphere - data comes first, winning or losing doesn't matter!
In this case, will the players still defend hard and try their best to win?
Where did the data come from?
Mainly depends on the offense!
Who wants to do dirty work?
It’s no wonder that such a team atmosphere can be successful!
Deng Fang knew all this.
The king's idea was simple.
It doesn't matter if you win or not.
Evans got the beautiful data and is the first!
So the Kings will definitely let Evans lead a lot of offense.
Shoot and score, break through and score assists, grab rebounds.
Let him do all the work that can increase Evans' statistics!
Save other things if you can.
Put your limited energy into unlimited data brushing!
Therefore, Deng Fang made targeted arrangements for this.
Don't you want Evans to score?
I'll send the team's best defender to guard you!
Always keeping an eye on you and stalking you when receiving the ball from the backcourt!
Want to shoot a basketball?
A three-pointer is fine, but don’t even think about a mid-range shot!
Even if your CIC is average!
What if I feel like eating dumplings today?
breakthrough?
Less likely!
Someone is always available to help!
Box-1 tactics start!
Pass the ball and get assists?
Next life!
As long as you pass the ball, someone will definitely pounce on it!
If it is passed out again, will it be empty?
If you can make up for it, make it up; if you can’t, I’ll let you vote!
That’s not even considered an assist from Evans anyway!
