After a 15-minute break, the game continued in the second half.As soon as they appeared on the stage, East and West Zhan began to compete with each other directly, not giving in an inch.

After dominating the league for three consecutive seasons, the league is no longer willing for James to continue to dominate the league in his current posture. The scale of whistleblowing given to James is not as unscrupulous as in previous seasons. Except for the penalty for walking, it is as relaxed as ever. In addition, some other foul actions, including defensive sentencing, are more regular. This has also caused James's data to decline slightly compared to the previous two seasons, and he has withdrawn from the competition for MVP early;

In contrast, Mesozoic and new generation stars have further consolidated their status this season. Curry has risen to MVP level, George has officially become the leader of the Pacers, Lillard and Wal have both For the first time in his career, he was selected to the All-Stars, including Griffin. This season, he lost his aura as a "dunner" and showed more comprehensive skills in the game, briefly leading the MVP list. . . . . . .

Last season he produced incredible statistics. Harden, who was selected to the first team, has had less possession of the ball this season, but his statistics have remained stable. He averaged 24 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists per game, which is not inferior to anyone.It's just that, with Curry closer to the MVP, Harden gave up some starlight, allowing Curry to enjoy more praise.

This is also the reason why Ke Yan always lets Curry take the lead and Harden plays the last role when the players play.Behind Curry's brilliance is Harden's "giving way".Although he will not constantly run without the ball like Klay Thompson and defend the opponent's offensive knife, he is also helping Curry in his own way.

Harden caused a series of fouls by Knicks players, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among Madison fans. When Harden took a free throw, boos rang out in protest to the referee.

Harden's personal offense opened up the situation, which naturally also led to the offense of his teammates.Compared with the older generation of shooting guards, Harden's awareness of sharing the ball is much better than others, and he does not hesitate to give scoring opportunities to his teammates, commonly known as "feeding cakes."

Curry and Middleton continued their firepower appropriately, but the Knicks' defense was a bit messy and fell into greater passivity, and the point difference was never able to be narrowed.After three quarters, the Kings led the Knicks by 95 points, 78:17.

Against an opponent like the Knicks, even if he was leading by a big score, Ke Yan didn't dare to be too careless.As soon as the game started in the final quarter, Harden continued to play, breaking through twice and drawing fouls during the counterattack, and made all 4 free throws. He also assisted Blake for a three-pointer and Dedmon for an alley-oop dunk, which once helped the team expand its lead to 24 points!Completely eliminate the suspense of the game.

With 4 minutes left in the game, the Kings led by 23 points. The overall situation was decided, and Ke Yan replaced all the main players.

When Harden was substituted, he and Keyan clapped their hands hard.He played 36 minutes, making 20 of 12 shots, 12 of 5 three-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws, scoring 37 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists, shining in Madison!

Holiday, the Knicks' strongest perimeter defender, is constrained by Curry, and he himself is not very good at resisting Harden's super-heavy positioning; most of the time, it is James who confronts Harden, but "Old James' individual defense ability is not as impressive as in the block collection.

Curry gave up more of the ball and still scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. His performance was pretty good.Two-thirds of the way through the season, Curry and Durant are competing for MVP. Their respective advantages have been put on the table. Curry's advantage lies in the Kings League's first record; while Durant's confidence lies in the more beautiful data.

At this stage, Curry has obvious advantages.But with Westbrook's comeback, a variable comes, which is how much Durant's data will drop because of Westbrook's return, and how much the Thunder's record will improve because of Westbrook's comeback.

Both sides came off the bench. The Knicks' J.R. Smith showed off at the end of the game and scored 9 points in a row, but this had little meaning other than leaving an impression of brushing up statistics. The Kings won 127 to 113 and continued their strong performance. . (49-11)

"The Knicks are the defending champions, and until a new champion comes out, all teams are still challengers. But there is no doubt that this game did give the team more confidence to face more important games. The Knicks played better."

Ke Yan's post-game interview was a bit arrogant, and there was a faint hint of meeting the Knicks for the finals.But put it on Keyan. . . . . .It seems logical, after all, he is the toughest head coach in the league today!

. . . . . .

On March 3, the Kings played back-to-back games and challenged the Philadelphia 3ers away from home, defeating their opponents 76-101.

It is gratifying to continue winning, but someone from the Kings was injured again in this game!Harris accidentally sprained his ankle while on defense and will miss at least a week.

Harris's performance this season is not as impressive as last season. Although his own improvement is not large, the bigger reason is that the Kings have improved too fast. The entire team's positioning has suddenly changed from "striving for a good ranking in the regular season to post-season." "Going past the second round" directly rose to the level of "championship candidate", which made Harris look a little inadequate.But in fact, Harris' injury is really a headache for the Kings, who have not yet fully recovered and have damaged Chandler.

At least Ke Yan couldn't find a suitable person to replace him!

On March 3, the Kings returned to their home court for their last regular season matchup with the Jazz. In order to hit the playoffs, the Jazz players increased their running and confrontation, and fed Valanciunas more on the offensive end. The ball was bullied and both of the Kings' starting insiders were injured.

Dedmon replaced Harris in the starting lineup, and the offensive and defensive ends were far behind. While unable to defend, he was not able to support the defense like Harris, and he was able to seize the opportunity to attack the small on the offensive end.

Covington and Terrence Thomas took up the power forward position, but they also failed to help Gobert hold off Valanciunas.

In the second half, Gobert was troubled by fouls, and his defensive power declined further, which also gave Irving more room to break through. Irving scored 25 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists, which was a rare moment of shock;

Valanciunas scored 26 points and 9 rebounds, completely suppressing the Kings in the paint.

The Kings had amazing outside firepower. Curry scored a game-high 31 points, maintaining the suspense of the game until the last moment. Unfortunately, at the end, Curry and Middleton each missed a three-pointer, and they lost 103 to 108. The 12th loss of the season. (50-12)

In this game, the Kings lost in the paint, but some stunned Lakers fans began to make excuses again, accusing Ke Yan of betraying the Jazz, and once started a quarrel with Kings fans.

On March 3, International Women's Day, the Kings welcomed the Portland Trail Blazers, who were on the verge of the playoffs, at home, clearly arranging Lillard and CJ McCollum's outside shooting.

Due to the butterfly effect brought by Ke Yan, McCollum got into the position earlier than in his previous life. He averaged 9.8 points and 3.2 assists per game this season, becoming a reliable partner next to Lillard.Stotts also imitated Ke Yan and used a double-gun model to build the team's backcourt. Coupled with Aldridge's stable 22+10 output in the paint, the Trail Blazers' record is pretty good.

But compared to the extraordinary talent of the Kings' 09 duo, the Trail Blazers' backcourt pair appears "short and thin" and their physical talent is not enough.At the same time, the Trail Blazers, like the Kings, do not have useful wing players to wipe out the double shorts in the backcourt. Aminu 3 is unstable and the defensive pace is not fast enough. Switching to guard small guards is very disadvantageous.

Throughout the game, the Kings won relatively easily, basically leading all the way and winning smoothly. (51-12)

On the afternoon of March 3, after training, Ke Yan called Middleton to the office to discuss the contract extension with him.

Middleton was a second-round pick. After the 12 draft, he signed a 2+1 contract with the Kings with a team option. Theoretically, the Kings can let Middleton go next season without exercising the team option. Just get the big contract.

The reason why the team did this is simple. While Middleton has not yet experienced a statistical explosion, Middleton's future will be locked in with a long-term contract.Imagine that in the summer of 16, when the salary cap rose to 9000 million and the luxury tax line rose to 1 million, the Kings' starting small forward held a two-year contract worth around 2 million. . . . . .How much room for maneuver this can give Ke Yan in the future!

On the other hand, it’s not all bad for Middleton!First of all, it is a good thing to get out of your rookie contract a year early and make a lot of money early; secondly, if you do not renew your contract this summer and wait until next summer to negotiate the contract, you may be able to get a contract with a higher unit price, but who can? How to eliminate the risk of injury affecting the market?

Even if you look at it from an accounting perspective, this is true.If Middleton does not agree to renew his contract in advance, the Kings will definitely implement the team option. In the 1415 season, Middleton can still only get a salary of 100 million. Even if he can ask for a higher salary in the future, it will be difficult to cover this amount. A year's worth of losses.

Moreover, if the second contract is fulfilled one year earlier, doesn't it mean that Middleton can be free earlier?

On behalf of Ke Yan, Zhou Jie explained all the stakes to Middleton. Middleton thought about it, called his agent, asked for his opinion, and finally verbally agreed to renew his contract with the Kings for four years. , the total contract amount is 2000 million.

A mid-level contract is basically in line with Middleton's current situation.

By reaching a contract extension with Middleton in advance, the Kings can eat up Middleton's child labor contract for four years in the future; next season, when Mike Miller leaves the team, Middleton will just eat up his space, and the team can still keep the total salary at a luxury level. below the tax line.

3月11日，国王队主场109比110惜败勇士，遭遇赛季第13场失利！（51-13）

The reason for the loss in this game was the same as the previous loss to the Jazz. Gobert and Thomas inside were unable to withstand Bodog and David Lee. They were suppressed on both offense and defense. The Warriors defeated the Kings' defense from the inside out!

David Lee posted a huge double-double of 31 points and 14 rebounds, using his comprehensive offensive skills to suppress Gobert, who only had 7 points and 11 rebounds.

Clay also gave David Lee enough firepower support on the outside. He handed over 27 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. The only block was given to another one of the Splash Brothers.

Curry did not fall behind in the matchup with Jennings, scoring 31 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.However, the performance of his teammates was average. Harden made 20 of 6 shots and 9 of 8 free throws. He only scored 21 points and 5 assists. His efficiency was quite average!

On March 3, the Kings had back-to-back battles and narrowly defeated the Nuggets by 12 point at home. Curry, who was sprinting towards the MVP, performed very well, scoring 1 points, 29 rebounds and 5 assists. The most important thing is, with 6 seconds left in the game, Curry executed the last attack, caught the ball and shot a three-pointer, and hit a pull-up to complete the game.

This buzzer-beater made the fans crazy and greatly boosted the morale of the teammates. Next, the team defeated the Timberwolves 121-101, brutally defeated the Hornets and Cavaliers 119-96, and defeated the bitter Grizzlies 113-107, raising the record to 55. Wins and 13 losses.

After playing the same 68 games, the Thunder trailed the Kings by a full 10 games. This gap in wins is still relatively large. If the gap continues to widen, no matter how biased the reporter is or how hard Nike tries, they will be embarrassed to change their fate, right?

After all, the award method must be based on a famous teacher and must pay attention to credibility.
