Chapter 383 The Strongest King
Tim Duncan:
"Bruce Chin is the most special one in the league. He controls the court very well. There is no doubt that he will become the most anticipated one in the future, maybe even surpass me."
It was not the first time that Duncan praised Qin Yang greatly.
Not only that, Ginobili also praised Qin Yang very much:
"This season, Bruce Qin has been the best point guard in the league, but it's not the scariest thing."
"The scariest thing is that he is still improving. Just now he was asking me about the technique of snake breakthrough."
Ginobili looked helpless and envious.
Richard Jefferson also expressed his praise in an interview: "I have defended most of the superstars in the league, and Bruce Qin is the most difficult one to defend, because he is ready to shoot at any time and can hit it stably."
"If I had to choose who I wouldn't want to play against, Bruce would definitely be in the top three."
Almost everyone in the Spurs praised Qin Yang, and even Tony Parker, who had a bad relationship, said a few good words.
Qin Yang and Tony Parker have a bad relationship. Tony Parker is too arrogant and always feels that he is superior to others.
In the Spurs, Duncan and Popovich can hold it down, but no one can hold it down elsewhere.
Both Pau Gasol and Nowitzki have secretly complained about this.
In the post-match interview, Qin Yang didn’t feel bad about the loss:
"This is a very timely game. Many of us think that the Kings are a strong team, a strong team at the championship level, but in reality? It's like the emperor's new clothes, being stripped off."
"We need more progress and that's what we should be doing."
Such games are a rare grind for the Kings.
Facing a strong team, keep a calm mind and fight hard until the last one. This is what a real championship-level team should do.
The Kings are still far behind.
The Spurs players and coaches all praised the Kings. On the contrary, the Kings players themselves have a very average evaluation of their team's performance.
This difference is really incomprehensible.
After losing to the Spurs at home, the Kings quickly recovered after the sluggish atmosphere.
After all, this is the home court, and the match against a veteran team like the Spurs was so fierce. For the media and fans in Sacramento, their team has made great progress.
Sacramento Independent Journal:
"This season is just halfway through, but the state and fighting spirit of the Kings this season is unprecedented. I am in charge. This is the best state the Kings have ever had, and even forced the five tigers of the Kings to be even better."
What is the king's five tigers?
When Sacramento was around 2000, it had a great period of glory.
At that time, under the Princeton tactical system of head coach Rick Adelman, the Kings had Chris Webber, Peja Stojakovic, Mike Bibby, Vlade Divac and other players as the core, with Bobby Jackson and Hedo Turkoglu as the main "bench gangsters", becoming the most entertaining team in the NBA.
At that time, the Kings made Princeton's tactics famous in the NBA.
Adelman has also become a famous coach in the NBA.
But this period of history has not really been remembered, because only when the OK combination is mentioned, will the history of the Kings be mentioned.
At the peak of the Kings at that time, the team met O'Neal at his peak and Kobe at his peak, and the OK combination won three consecutive championships, shocking the league.
The Kings became the best in history.
Now the Sacramento media has praised the Kings so much.
Qin Yang has learned about that period of history, and he is not so proud that he really thinks that the current team has surpassed the Kings at that time.
The five-way team is much worse than the Kings at the time in terms of team strength, state, and honor.
It can even be said that if it weren't for the penalty at the critical moment, the Kings might really be able to eliminate the OK combination in the first year and win the championship.
It's a pity that no one can explain this history clearly.
King and loser.
Everyone remembers only the three consecutive championships of the OK combination, which shocked the league.
After a two-day break, the team bounced back from the defeat to host the Jazz.
The game of the league is just so weird sometimes, and the Kings are clearly one of them.
During this period, the Kings played at home and had two or three days of rest.
But in the away game, it was back-to-back consecutively, and the player's state was greatly reduced.
This kind of schedule is not good for the team.
If you carefully observe the schedules of the Lakers, Cavaliers, and Bulls, you will find that when they play at home, they will be a little more intensive.
But looking at the number of home and away games, there is no gap between strong teams and weak teams, but the real gap is invisible to ordinary people.
vs. the Nuggets at home.
Qin Yang still invited the Nuggets to have dinner together.
The life of an NBA player is monotonous and boring. Most of the season is training, training, games, flying around, games, training...
There are opportunities to communicate with each other, and few people refuse.
Jazz core Deron Williams and Qin Yang have a mediocre relationship, but it's not too bad. Deron always thinks he is the league's number one point guard.
But now Qin Yang is catching up from behind, and there is a tendency to catch up with him.
This made Delong a little unhappy.
At the party before the game, Qin Yang discovered that the Jazz had changed a lot of people.
The performance of the playoffs last season had a great impact on the Jazz's trade this season. It is no wonder that Deron Williams is not happy with the Jazz.
DeLong's pick-and-roll partner Boozer left and Al Jefferson joined. Last season's playoff performance was superb, and Millsap, who became a superstar, became the starter and the team's second core.
The team also got potential insider Gordon Hayward.
The strength of the Jazz is really not weak.
Many people from Qin Yang and the Jazz greeted each other, and they were familiar with each other.
"I didn't expect you to join the Jazz this season." Qin Yang looked at Al Jefferson with curiosity.Al Jefferson also said a little depressed:
"No way, Bruce. I thought I could be your teammate. Who knew you didn't call me. I have a bad reputation in the league, so I can only join the Jazz. This is the biggest contract I can get."
Al Jefferson was also helpless.
As a perennial 20+10 inside player in the league, it stands to reason that he should have won a top-level contract.
But... In fact, Al Jefferson's contract is 1000 million after that, which is very average among superstars, and it can be described as appalling.
After all, Al Jefferson is still considered a data brush, which is not beneficial to the team's victory.
Qin Yang doesn't think so. Al Jefferson is not good at defense, but it's relative. Is Zach Randolph good at defense?
This season, the calls for Zach Randolph to be an All-Star are high.
