Chapter 926 [Disappointed team, miserable record]

The regular season continues, and fans speculate that the Kings will have a mid-term deal in exchange for players who are good at defense.

Unfortunately, the Kings only signed the cut-out point guard Aaron Brooks in the free market to make up for Curry's vacancy.

Brooks cannot help the team on the defensive end. He is 183CM tall and weighs 84 kilograms. He is a defensive black hole in the CBA in China. He is beaten by the old Marbury and lost the championship in Guangdong.

He is one of the fastest guards in the league, with accurate mid-range and long-range shooting.

Manager Petri wanted to strengthen his defense through trades, but no team was willing to "assist" at this time. In recent seasons, the Kings have been the public enemy of the league, and no one hopes that they will win the championship again.

The bosses of each team spontaneously united and boycotted the king. This situation cannot be solved by the manager's ability to operate or money.

On the deadline, the most important deal was the player exchange between the 76ers and the Pacers. Danny Granger was sent to Philadelphia, while the Pacers received Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen.

Experts believe that the Pacers have officially joined the championship team.

Granger has been suffering from injuries in the past two years, and has only played 34 games last season and this season so far. This season, he averaged 22.5 minutes per game and only scored 8.3 points, which is obviously not matched his $14 million salary.

With Paul George becoming the new leader of the team, Lance Stephenson proved that he was competent for the starting second position with his performance, and with Chris Coplader on the wing, Granger seemed a bit redundant.

As his contract is in his final year, the Pacers have exchanged for younger players. Evan Turner finally broke out in his fourth year of entering the NBA, averaging 17.4 points, 6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. With all the offense and defense, he can undoubtedly provide vitality and defense for the Pacers' wings.

The goal of the 76ers is to play badly, and they don’t need too strong players.

The Nets sent out Reggie Brock and Reggie Evans, got the Timberwolves' Marcus Thorton, adding a substitute attack point.

Sauton was once favored and signed a four-year long contract. Later, he fell down due to injury and was displaced. Now he is just a role player, with strong offense and weak defense. The Nets asked him to lead a substitute to attack to make up for the vacancy left by Watson to go to the Pacers.

Currently, the online team ranks first in the Eastern Conference, with a record ahead of the Pacers and a favorite to win the championship.

The top eight Western Conference record is amazing, including the Spurs, Thunder, Warriors, Kings, Clippers, Grizzlies, Pelicans, and Trail Blazers. The Rockets, the ninth place, also have hope of entering the playoffs.

After Howard joined, the Rockets let Asik start together and played several double tower tactics. The loss at the beginning was very ugly. Two big men with no shooting ability could not open up the space at all, which made people admire McHale's imagination.

Asik changed to a substitute, the Rockets' winning rate increased, and Eric Gordon was seriously injured and rested in the middle, which affected his record.

If the Rockets fail to make the playoffs in the end, Howard's evaluation will further decline. He has the ball right at a low post, but his scoring efficiency is not high. The only thing that increases is his temper.

The Rockets' regular season opening game against the Lakers, Kobe and Howard's head-on conflict made the game quite attractive.

The incident happened at 7 minutes and 7 seconds left in the third quarter. The Lakers, who were more than 20 points behind, have basically lost hope of winning, but Kobe never gave up during garbage time. He was ruthless when he fought for the rebound with Howard. When his opponent had already controlled the ball, he still tried to grab the ball and hit Howard. Howard's response was to raise his elbow directly and hit Kobe hard in the face.

The reporter at the scene witnessed the conflict between the two at close range. Perhaps the previous resentment erupted at this moment. The two were extremely angry. Kobe rushed up and cursed the monster. Howard was not willing to be outdone and the two quickly got entangled together.

They didn't fight, but the verbal confrontation was very fierce.

Many American reporters revealed on Twitter that Kobe scolded Howard like this: "Softie, try touching me!"

Howard's response was: "I know what kind of person you are, an old dog."

Back then, Kobe and O'Neal had a bad relationship, and at most they expose each other's shortcomings and ridicule in front of the media. Such conflicts have never been seen in the official game. Now Kobe is no longer the young man of that year, but he will have such conflicts with Howard during the game, which shows his attitude towards this former teammate.

Halfway through the season, the Rockets and the Lakers met again, and both of them calmed down. They became a pair of brothers and couldn't lead the team to win.

The Lakers, ranked 11th in the Western Conference, did not send Paul Gasol out, seemingly giving up and not considering the playoffs.

The Mavericks ranked tenth, and what bothered them was also injuries. Bogut, Nowitzki, and Jeremy Lin took turns to be injured, which affected their record. When they played together, they were a strong team.

At the end of February, the Kings massacred the Lakers at home 138 to 90 and scored 48 points.

A magical thing happened, and the news after the game just mentioned casually, and even the photos were not matched. People no longer paid attention to the confrontation between the two teams. There was no media hype Wang Jun VS Kobe.

In March, the Kings' defense was still bad. It was not that they didn't want to trade in the mid-term, but that they had no goals.

Defensive experts are all popular, and few teams are willing to give it away. Defenders like Beverly are treated as treasures in the Hornets.

However, when Vucevic started, the defensive loopholes were not obvious. Thomas entered the starting lineup, so the Kings had no choice. The opponents knew to avoid Wang Jun and James and attack from the weak side.

The management plans to seek a deal after the season is over, signing first and then sending Vucevic to exchange for someone who can defend.

In April, the Kings lost to the Spurs twice in the regular season and fell behind 1-3 in the regular season. The situation was not good. The good news was that the Warriors' record declined due to injuries and was surpassed by the Kings at the last moment.

After Ade joined, the Spurs' lineup was significantly upgraded and eventually won the first place in the league with 67 wins.

In the regular season, the Spurs, Thunder, Kings, Clippers, Warriors, Trail Blazers, Grizzlies, Pelicans. The Rockets ranked ninth, the Mavericks ranked tenth, and the Lakers ranked eleventh.

The king won 58 and lost 24, and Wang Jun felt that this could be described as "miserable".

The Trail Blazers are lucky this season and have not encountered serious injuries. Lithuanian center Valanyunas joins to make them stronger inside.

After Thunder sent Ade away, his attack power was still very strong, and the second young master could solve the offensive problem.

Perkins, who was cut by the Raptors in the mid-term, joined the Thunder. He can be a meat shield. The team's defense is more stable than before. In the end, they won 60 wins.

Ibaka's data rose to 15.1 points and 8.8 rebounds, and he won more ball rights. The biggest surprise was Reggie Jackson, who averaged 13.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.

Gary Neal also performed well, averaging 20 minutes per game, scoring 9.8 points, 2 rebounds and 1.2 assists, and a 41% three-point shooting percentage. He and Jackson guaranteed the offense in the second quarter.

In the mid-term, Caron Butler joined the Thunder after being cut by the Pistons, making them stronger. Many people are optimistic that the Thunder will win the championship this season and will be the fourth seed in the league.

Jazz, Timberwolves, Suns and other teams are at the bottom. They have no stars, no popularity, nothing.

Next season is a recognized year for draft picks, and some experts have analyzed that it will be another "golden generation". Many weak teams have been positioned since the beginning of the season and are waiting to rise by draft picks.

There are still many bad teams in the West, and the East is even more terrible.
