“” The atmosphere is not good », Used Zach Lavine, two weeks ago, when the Kings kept losing. Change of atmosphere today for the Californians who have resumed colors after having had a serious period of turbulence (a victory in eight games).
Last night, they completed their “road trip” to the east with a convincing success in Detroit, despite the exit on injury of Malik Monk. “” It's really a big victory for us “, Qualifies Doug Christiewho says he is very proud of his players, notably of his three strong men, Zach Lavine (43 points), Demar Derozan (37 points) and Domantas Sabonis (19 points, 15 rebounds and 10 passes).
This victory comes after the two trips previously won in Charlotte, and especially in Cleveland. Before this small series, his Kings had sunk on the Wizards prosecution. This setback suffered on the worst prosecution of the worst team of the League had imposed things to clear up.
“” I tell them that sometimes we get what we need, and not what we want. We want to play permanently, but clearly at that time, there were a lot of things with us that had to be discussed. It is a part of our game that must also evolve. It took such a point to push us to approach the problem “Describes the coach in reference to this setback in Washington.
I haven't heard this kind of communication since I played here
The latter found this collective exchange positive. “” I said I was super proud and impressed that a group of young men gathered and discusses things like men. Before going to play and trust the point that the lyrics are accompanied by acts “Develops the coach, evoking” very powerful things ».
A group of people who, according to him, ” believe one in each other, who trust each other and who love each other and I know that it is because I hear them on the plane, on the bus … I have not heard this kind of communication since I played here. »»
For a long time, because this former defensive specialist has evolved to the Kings of 2000 and 2005 as a player, before finding the Californian franchise as assistant from 2021. “ This kind of love can allow you to go through a lot. We are not mistaken, in the NBA, there will be ups and downs. But we want to be able to stabilize the ship. You have to stick your elbows and stand responsible and love yourself deeply “Asks the coach.
With 39 victories for 40 defeats, his training is in a good position to win 9th place and afford a first round of “play-in” at home against the Mavs.
