Chapter 924: [Hidden trouble, bad luck]

In mid-September, Wang Jun returned to Sacramento. After a few days of rest, the training camp opened.
When the team took makeup photos, the player's status changed, and the core four joined center Vucevic.
He is very optimistic now, without Brand, playing time will be more, some experts believe that he will become a "two-double machine."
Some experts are not optimistic about the King's prospects for the new season. They think that the management has buried a lot of hidden dangers. The three assistant coaches have left. Kidd has contacted the new assistant coach. The cooperation will certainly not be as tacit as the previous season.
Adelman retired, and it’s not just Kidd who is staring at the position of the head coach. Who doesn’t want to
get right
?
In contrast, Kidd has the least qualifications and the youngest. The original assistant coach did not accept him. The other teams threw the olive branch in time and easily agreed.
Terry Porter became the new head coach of the Timberwolves, the king won consecutive championships, and the assistant coach became sweet and sour.
Jack Hickma went to the Nuggets assistants, the purpose is to wait for the new coach Brian Shaw to be fired, he may be able to pick up the missing coach. Not many people are optimistic about Xiao's future in the Nuggets.
TR-Dunn joined the Rockets as a teaching assistant.
The only thing left is Bill Bayano, of average ability.
Half a month ago, Kidd formally issued an invitation to the Nets' former coach Lawrence Frank, hoping that the latter can serve as the team's assistant coach, Lawrence agreed.
Lawrence previously coached Kidd for more than 5 seasons when he was the head coach of the Nets. Last year he was also in charge of the Pistons, but because of his poor record, he was off course after the regular season.
Lawrence's assistant to the Pistons Roy Rogers and former Raptors assistant Eric Hughes joined the King successively as Kidd's assistant, and the coaching staff got together before the start of the game.
The Kings played well in the preseason, winning in seven games.
Just when people thought that this would be another season in which the Kings would kill the Quartet, the Kings lost in the third game of the regular season and lost to the Golden State Warriors.
Lowry and Thompson are in excellent form. The newly joined Iguodala strengthens the team's defense. The bench also has Harrison Barnes, O'Neal Jr., and Jordan Crawford to lead the offense.
In the fifth game, the King lost to the Spurs who introduced Aldridge to form a super lineup.
The Spurs pick-and-roll and the three-pointer are stronger than last season. With a tacit understanding of the positional battle, Leonard, Green, Parker and Ginobili can also fight back quickly.
Then, Lawrence Frank, the chief assistant to the King, was out of class, and the hidden dangers broke out faster than expected.
Vivek Rana Dave was very angry and dissatisfied with Kidd's work.
Kidd really lacks experience, is rich in theoretical knowledge, and has bad on-the-spot strains.
After all, theory and practice are different. At this time, the experienced Lawrence always likes to stand up and point fingers, just like he said to Kidd when he was on the Nets.
But Kidd was a player at that time, and now he is the head coach. Which coach can bear the assistant as the boss and repeatedly overpower?
A league insider revealed that since Kidd accused Lawrence at the employee meeting, their partnership broke irreversibly.
In the first few weeks, they also had talks aimed at improving the team, but Kidd's final decision was to let Frank leave.
Others broke the news and said: "For Kidd, when he points the finger at you, you can't run away. When he is a player, it is like that, now we see it again."
Countless people began to question Kid's character, talking about his broken things.
The King’s troubles don’t stop there. Curry and Thomas have a conflict in the dressing room.
Thomas has shot more than last season and wants to replace Curry as the starting point guard.
The media often said that Thomas is the league's most highly paid person, and he began to be seriously dissatisfied with his salary.
The same problem also occurred with Vucevic, who increased his shots and only wanted to rebound when defending, not willing to go out to prevent pick-and-roll.
This is Vucevic's third season. He hopes to get the top salary and renew in advance. The data is particularly important to him. The media said that he might become "two pairs of machines", and he tried to develop in that direction.
The best way for meat shield players to have beautiful data is to not go out of the penalty area on the defensive end, so that they can have more rebounds.
The coaching staff had no choice but to take Vučević. The other two centers were very tall and had a lot of strength.
In particular, Gorbert was so thin, he ran his arms around and ran violently against him. To play well in the NBA, he must first strengthen his strength.
Carter, Ray Allen, and Patterson are also defensive, and the veterans are deteriorating. Battier, who likes to defend, retired and Brand left.
No one had thought that the result of the departure of the two blue collars was a problem with the King's overall defense. James and Wang Jun alone cannot drive the entire defense system.
In November, the King lost four games. According to the standard of ordinary strong teams, the record is good, but they did not lose so many games last season.
In December, the King lost another five games. This was already a gratifying stat. Many games were won by Wang Jun and James.
Wang Jun's playing time and data rose. In 38.8 minutes, he scored 33.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2.1 steals. The team ranked fourth in the West, behind the Spurs, Thunder and Warriors.
Judging from playing time, Wang Jun's offensive efficiency has dropped somewhat compared to last season.
James played 36.7 minutes, 25.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks. As a two-headed man, this data is commendable, but it is nothing to James, he is just depressed.
For the first time in his career, James has fewer assists per game than Wang Jun, which means that his possession of the ball has been reduced further. Two young people, Vucevic and Thomas, can split his possession.
The Kings scored 118.6 points per game, the highest in the league, but the loss was equally alarming, and their defense was a big problem.
In January, something even worse happened.
Curry severely sprained his ankle during the game. He was diagnosed and required an ankle surgery to repair ligaments.
Dr. Richard Fickel, who had performed Achilles tendon surgery for hundreds of NBA players, explained to Curry, Curry's family, the various outcomes that may occur after the operation. The worst result is that part of the healthy Achilles tendon must be removed from the body of the deceased patient.
After hearing these words from the doctor, Curry's eyes dimly told his family. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com "I don't know what my future will be."
When Wang Jun went to visit Curry, he cried directly, feeling that he was a drag on the team.
He signed with the king for four years, this is the first year of ten million annual salary. If he can't play well, his contract will not expire until 17 years. There has been a lot of news that Curry’s long contract may be reduced to a bad contract.
Before entering the operating room, Wang Jun comforted him, and he stabilized his emotions.
Fortunately, the operation was very successful. Curry did not need to change the Achilles tendon on his body, but he will have a difficult recovery period of four months. This season is basically reimbursed.
Even if he can make a comeback in the playoffs, the coaching staff doesn't plan to arrange it this way, and there is a risk of re-injury in a hasty comeback.
Thomas became the starter as he wished. Fortunately, there was Barbosa, the combo guard, and King No. 1 was not available to anyone.
Everyone realizes that this season the King wants to defend the title, it is very difficult.
