Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On February 20, each team made final changes to their team lineups.  After Artest's trade, the Kings made another move, using one of the three trade exceptions obtained from the Lakers in exchange for Matt Barnes.  Barnes signed a one-year contract with the Warriors this year, with an annual salary of only 3.5 million. Although his performance in the Black Eight Miracle was not bad, his status in this Warriors team is not high, and his choices are also quite low.  .  The Kings lost Artest and are in a hurry at the No. 3 position. Although they got Trevor Ariza with some potential from the Lakers, this defensive player alone is not enough to fill the vacancy left by Artest.  It was only at Zhang Weifeng's suggestion that Petrie reached a deal with the Warriors.  Barnes was acquired with a 4 million trade exception and a future second-round pick from the Lakers.  Although the Warriors did not let him go, when the draft pick came out, the Warriors also decided to give away Matt Barnes.  After all, the Warriors only gave Matt Barnes a one-year contract at the beginning of the season, which shows that the Warriors did not initially intend to retain Matt Barnes for a long time.  The potential of Trevor Ariza and Matt Barnes is limited to blue-collar players, but Zhang Weifeng knows that as the trade deadline approaches, acquiring these two players will still have some effect.  Both Ariza and Barnes are quite tough defensively, and Barnes is a good three-pointer, and Ariza is also the kind of person who has a basket.  It cannot be said that it is good both offensively and defensively, but it can still be considered good at being able to attack and defend.  After the Kings initiated several transactions in a row, the players who can play in the game are also beginning to be in a hurry!  Going to Portland was originally a difficult game, but now without Artest, the Kings' lineup is not complete, and the morale of the team is not uniform, which directly caused a huge defeat.  Zhang Weifeng didn¡¯t tell too many people about his wrist injury.  Although he played in the game against the Trail Blazers, he still failed to prevent the team from being slaughtered by the Trail Blazers.  In fact, in this game, the Trail Blazers' starting five were in quite a sluggish state, but the Kings were not only in a sluggish state, but because of the transaction, the players were obviously not focused enough on the court and made mistakes from time to time.  Playing like this, no matter how hard Zhang Weifeng works, he is destined to not be able to win against the other team.  After Artest left.  The Kings starting five have become.  Brad Miller, Zhang Weifeng, John Somons, Randy Foye and Calderon.  After the All-Star Game, Felton was finally given the starting lineup by Sius and was temporarily placed on the bench for observation.  At the beginning of the game, Zhang Weifeng defeated Aldridge on a jump ball and got the ball. The Kings took the lead in attacking. Randy Foye hit a long-range three-pointer from the outside, opening the scoring record for the game.  Then Brandon Roy retaliated by scoring two goals in a row, and Miller was no less good, scoring two consecutive goals to retaliate.  The two sides began to take the lead alternately.  In the second half of the quarter, Miller and Zhang Weifeng teamed up to extend the lead to 5 points. Trail Blazers point guard Blake succeeded with a three-pointer. Then Aldridge faced Zhang Weifeng and succeeded in a 2-point jumper, but Zhang Weifeng also immediately responded.  After scoring a 2-pointer, with 3 minutes and 43 seconds left in the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 18:20.  After returning from the timeout, the two sides still scored alternately, but at the end of the first quarter, the Kings temporarily led the Trail Blazers 27:24.  The turning point of the game came in the second quarter.  Even as the two sides were still locked in a back-and-forth game, Outlaw from the Trail Blazers bench hit a 2-point jumper to narrow the gap to 1 point. Then Roy made a long-range three-pointer to overtake the score.  Less than half a minute later, another mid-range jumper by Outlaw widened the score again. After the timeout, Zhang Weifeng scored two goals in a row and contributed 4 points. Then, the Trail Blazers' Webster immediately responded with a three-pointer.  Color, the two sides fought fiercely. There was 1 minute and 36 seconds left in this quarter, and the score was 53:46.  Neither side scored in the subsequent game, but in the last attack, after Roy hit a 3-point jumper, the two sides entered the second half at 56:46. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? can obviously not play well, and can not cooperate, players make mistakes one after another, and will send some unnecessary fouls.  Such a bad state gave the Trail Blazers the opportunity to continue to expand the score.  Although the Trail Blazers' starting five were in average condition, the Blazers' bench continued to stand up with strong players, providing the Trail Blazers with strong firepower.  At the end of the third quarter, the Kings actually trailed by 20 points, 61:81.  During this period, Zhang Weifeng scored a Kings-high 14 points and 10 rebounds. In addition, he also sent a Kings-high 4 assists.  Except for Zhang Weifeng, only Miller and Calderon contributed 11 points and 10 points respectively, and everyone else scored in double figures.  At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhang Weifeng came off the court and Amir Johnson and Miller came on stage. When Roy scored "2+1", the Kings' momentum was almost gone.  Failure is inevitable, and Zhang Weifeng is not playing.  In the end, the Kings lost to the Trail Blazers 87:113 by a full 26 points. This was also the most losses the Kings had in a single game so far this season.  The next day, the 21st, the Kings returned home to face the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks, with Mike Bibby, had a pretty good record this season.  The Eagles' record is now fourth in the Eastern Conference, almost stable.Entering the playoffs.  In fact, this also shows to a certain extent that the competition in the East is too weak.  In this game, Zhang Weifeng faced Josh Smith. The competition between the two was quite fierce. However, Zhang Weifeng's shooting percentage was not high in this game. He hit 8 goals in 19 shots and scored a game-high 27 points.  .  For an insider, this hit rate is really difficult to show, especially Zhang Weifeng's average hit rate this season has reached 63%, ranking second in the league.  It's no wonder that after losing Artest, the Kings were defeated in Portland in the first game. Siyousi took this very seriously. He felt that Zhang Weifeng should be given more balls, but Zhang Weifeng's wrist injury really affected him, and he shot 8 of 19.  , the Kings lost to the Hawks 101:114.  Although Zhang Weifeng contributed a double-double with 27 points and 16 rebounds, the team lost two games in a row, and the pressure from outside public opinion suddenly came on.  "Without Artest, can the Kings still be considered a playoff-level team? In these two games, facing the Trail Blazers and Hawks, who are not very strong, the Kings actually lost by an average of 19.5 points per game.  ! It can be seen that trading Artest is really a stupid decision! " "Zhang Weifeng is not a good leader at all. Although he shines in the All-Star Game, this game is obviously not a show.  48%, 15 percentage points lower than his season average, and in these two games, he only averaged 20.5 points per game! This is not to say that Zhang Weifeng does not have the strength to become the mainstay of the team, but at least now, he is out of the game.  After Artest, he obviously couldn't withstand the pressure. I think the Kings' losing streak will continue!" To be continued.  If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
