Chapter 188 Five Star King
There are only 12 players in the Kings lineup this season, and everyone will have more or less playing time.

Starting point guard Mike Bibby, shooting guard Doug Christie, small forward Peja Stojakovic, power forward Chris Webber, center Verati Divac, this is a luxurious five-star line-up.One or two passes like flowing clouds and water, quick-witted running positions, perfect support from inside players, and mercury-like offense are all their hallmarks.

The starting point guard Mike Bibby was selected by the Vancouver Grizzlies with the second pick in the first round of the 1998 NBA Draft. In the first year of the Grizzlies, he happened to encounter the NBA closure event and only played 50 games that season. Contest.In his rookie season, he averaged 13.2 points per game on 43 percent shooting.Although the record of the Grizzlies has always been at the bottom, Bibby's performance has improved year by year. In his third season, he averaged 8.4 assists per game and ranked fourth in the league, ranking among the league's top point guards.

During this period, Bibby strengthened the training of emergency stop jumpers and long-range shots from beyond the three-point line, and his scoring data increased year by year.While improving his shooting percentage, he averaged 8.1 assists and 8.4 assists per game.

1998-99赛季，入选NBA“最佳新秀阵容“;平均助攻6.5，列NBA第13位、新秀第1位。

On June 2001, 6, the Kings will send "White Chocolate" Jason Williams and veteran Nick Anderson to the Grizzlies in exchange for guards Mike Bibby and Brent Price.Then he formed the Kings team with Webber, Christie, Divac, Bobby Jackson and others under the leadership of Adelman and became the favorite to win the championship after 28.

Doug Christie was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics with the 1992th pick in the first round of the 1 NBA draft.

Selected to the NBA "Second Defensive Team" in the 2001-2002 season, with a total of 183 steals, ranking first in the NBA.

Christie has a stable scoring ability, not outstanding, but above average.

He has a certain mid-to-long-range shooting ability, and relatively few offenses with the ball. For his offensive skills, during the Kings period, the more important problem was the desire to attack. He was one of the few on the court whose desire to defend was greater than his desire to attack. , in this gorgeous king formation like mercury pouring down the ground, he is a different kind.

I have to mention that at the critical moment, the offense is relentless. Although they can't take over the game, they will stand up and score at the last moment when the team is behind. The king's team, except for Bibby, is unreliable at critical moments, including Webber. And Stojakevich, but Christie is the second tough point besides Bibby.

1996年，佩贾-斯托贾科维奇在首轮第14位被萨克拉门托国王队选中，黄金一代的选秀成员开始其NBA职业生涯。3次入选NBA全明星阵容(2002-04)，2次夺得NBA全明星三分球大赛冠军(2002-03)。

In the 1999-00 season, after another season, Peja entered the starting lineup of the Kings, playing small forward.Under Adelman's Princeton system, Peja cooperated tacitly with teammates such as Webber and Divac, and gradually became a high-quality scorer in the league.

In the 2001-02 season, Webber failed to play at the beginning of the season due to injury. Peja took over the burden of leadership, averaging nearly 24 points per game, and led the Kings to a record of 15 wins and 5 losses.During the All-Star Game, won the three-point contest champion.However, in the 2001-02 Western Conference Finals between the Kings and the Lakers, Peja missed a deadly baseline three-pointer, and the Kings were eliminated.

In the 2002-03 season, Peja suffered from ankle injuries.But Peja defended the three-point contest champion.In the playoffs, after Webber was injured and fell down, Peja led the Kings and the Mavericks out of the tiebreaker.

Peja is one of the best shooters in the league. His shooting timing, shooting speed and accuracy are very good, but his mental quality is not strong, his defense is relatively soft, and his personal offensive ability with the ball is mediocre.

Chris Webber was selected by the Orlando Magic with the No. 1993 pick in the [-] NBA Draft. However, the Magic immediately completed a deal with the Golden State Warriors in exchange for the opponent's No. [-] pick Anfernee Hardaway and three first-round picks.

In the 1998-99 season, the Kings before that were always underdogs in the league.

In the 2000-01 season, Webber ushered in the pinnacle of his career. During the season, Webber averaged a career-high 27.1 points and 11.1 rebounds per game. He also ranked second in the voting for the most valuable player at the end of the season Four.

In the 2002-03 season, Webber's performance was still strong, averaging 23 points and 11 rebounds per game, becoming a strong contender for the MVP.But a knee injury meant he could only return after the All-Star break. In May 2003, in the Western Conference semifinals between the Kings and the Mavericks, in the second game, Webber landed on his knee with no other parts touching the ground, which caused a knee injury that affected his career.

Because of this knee injury, Webber's peak period is gone forever. Now his movement on the court has become sluggish, and his defensive end has been greatly reduced.

In the previous two years, the Kings led by Webber also lost to the Lakers in the playoffs.The back-to-back defeats disappointed Kings fans, and it was Webber who first heard a Sacramento fan call him a "softie" after a loss to the Mavericks in 2003.

Verratti Divac was born in Europe in 1968. He showed a very high talent in basketball. Before he stopped growing, Divac grew to 2.16 meters. This is a standard center height. In the concept of European basketball Under his guidance, Divac has all the characteristics of a European center. Before landing in the NBA, Divac was the main force of the national team. He followed the national team and achieved excellent results. In 1989, the 21-year-old Divac decided to go NBA, fighting in a completely different league.

In the 98-99 season, Divac joined the Kings. At this time, the Kings used the Princeton system. One of the characteristics of this system is that it passes more balls and uses smart passes to defeat opponents. Under this system, Divac Divac played smoothly, averaging 14.3 points, 10 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1 block per game in the season. The average assists per game is a career high. The average rebounds and points per game are new highs in recent years. In the Kings, Divac is like a fish in water , rejuvenated the new year.

In the 02-03 season, Divac's various statistics declined, and his physical condition declined. With his aging body, Divac started the 03-04 season with the Kings. In this season, Divac's athletic ability It has declined, but his passing has become more sophisticated. He averaged 5.3 assists per game this season, which is the highest in his career. This season, Divac gave people the impression that he is an experienced "old ball ruffian" with ghostly passing.

Brad Miller, who usually takes turns playing with Divac, will also start in the form of two towers inside when the team is short of major generals.

This is an undrafted player in 1998. Through hard work, he is now an NBA All-Star center. What an inspirational story.

The main high position, with projection as the main means of scoring.The mid-range shot is quite good, and the mid-range and long-range shots in front of the basket are especially accurate, often forcing the opposing center to follow up and empty the penalty area.It is also his usual trick to cheat the opponent with a shooting fake and then make a breakthrough layup.

Tough defense was the foundation of his career when he entered the league, and he was keen on physical confrontation and small defensive moves.However, due to his inherent physical disadvantages, he cannot become a real insider barrier.Insufficient jumping ability and explosive power, weak blocking ability, and only a poor 0.8 blocks per game in his career.

Speaking of such a strong lineup, why did it plummet, you will only know after playing.
