The Kings failed to take revenge against the Lakers, losing again two days after a first defeat against LeBron James and company. If we add the one against the Nuggets at the start of the week, we then have three losses in a row. Sacramento is skating and De'Aaron Fox has a clue to justify this bad passage.
“For a moment, and we talked about it before this match, we have to have fun playing basketball,” ensures the playmaker. “It's obvious that we all want to win, that everyone has to do their best to do so, whether it's putting in shots or something else, but at one point or another, you have to enjoy playing and winning. We like to evolve with each other, do the difficult things and then the victories come. »
Mike Brown, for his part, is more pragmatic. He saw his players not take the rebound, so important eleven seconds from the end and with only one point behind, after Anthony Davis' second missed free throw. Rui Hachimura then managed to send the ball to Austin Reaves who made the two free throws which validated the Lakers' success.
First find victory or pleasure?
The joy will pass later… “It’s going to be complicated for me to do anything to make them happy again if we’re not there to block the rebound, after Davis’ miss”laments the coach. “I don't know what I can do to make them feel better after something like this.” »
It’s the story of the vicious circle. The Kings are in a tough situation so the fun is gone. But as the fun is gone, they are in trouble. We have to break this dynamic and for De'Aaron Fox, we must first find joy again.
“We have to enjoy playing basketball, that’s all, we have to enjoy playing with each other. We need to rediscover this feeling of pleasure”insists the one who is monitored by the Spurs since he has not extended and is awaiting sporting guarantees from the Californian franchise.
