In the league, the three worst teams are the Magic, Pistons and Rockets, and the three teams are far from the previous teams, and in the case of the probability of impacting the playoffs, these three teams are mainly to train young players as rebuilding teams.
In the league, there are still some teams that have a poor record, but the teams that are determined to be rebuilding, or are about to rebuild, in the West, the Thunder, Spurs and Kings are teams that have been rebuilt, the Pelicans are rebuilding teams that have encountered more or less problems in the process, and the Grizzlies are the teams that have been very successful in rebuilding.
The Thunder's rebuild stems from the fact that Westbrook and George have been traded, and Paul, who has been replaced, has also been traded by the team, which has hoarded a large number of first-round draft picks in the future and set its sights on the future.
The Spurs' rebuilding stemmed from the departures of Leonard, DeRozan, Rudy Gay and Aldridge, but the Spurs did not get the rebuilding chips through these players, but the team's configuration has basically been rebuilt, and at the end of Popovich's coaching career, people are lamented.
The kings' reconstruction is constantly trial and error, from the heyday of the Kings in the Time of Divac, Peggy, Weber, Mike Bibby, the last 20 years the Kings have been trying to change the fate of the team through the draft, but the effect is not good, the last 10 years by the Kings high picks, the players who did not play out are Srick Evans, Jimmer Fredette, Ben McLemore, Cowley Stein, etc. Almost did not play, only Cousins was played, but Cousins's character and injuries became the thorns of the team during the Kings period. It eventually led to the dilemma of being traded by the team.
In recent years, the Kings have acquired Hield through trades, and they have selected Players such as Fox, Haliburton, David Mitchell, and Bagley through the draft to determine the rebuild, but the growth of players has not been as expected.
Recently, the news that the Kings peddled Bagley, Hield and Harrison Barnes, and even the possibility of trading Fox, so that the rebuilding of this team is not smooth, the Kings' construction team has been in a constant rebuilding, constantly through high picks to obtain the core of the rebuilt team, but the effect is not good.
Currently, the Kings are averaging 109.7 points per game, ranking 13th in the league, but the Kings' average points conceded is 113.7 points per game, ranking 28th in the league, only better than the Rockets and Hornets.
The Rockets, the Other Team in the West, averaged 108.3 points per game, ranking 16th in the league and conceding 116.7 points per game, ranking 30th in the former league.
As a team that rebuilds the second season, the Rockets' staffing is still in the exploration and experimental period, most of the players currently existing in the team are not in the team's long-term plan, because the team currently focuses on cultivating Porter and Green, there are many problems at both ends of the attack and defense, prompting the development and planning of the Rockets in a period of left and right swing, which determines that the Rockets' data must not be good, which is the painful period during the development period.
When two defensively weak teams meet, back-to-back on the road, with a win rate already close to 55 kai, the Rockets in the two games against the Kings, more by offense, whose offensive feel is better and more stable, whose offensive continuity is better, and whose offensive continuity is better and easier to win.
In the two teams of young players are huge, the error rate is extremely high, both sides can play each other's small climax, both sides themselves are not strong, are in the screening period of reconstruction, the scene of the game and the ups and downs of the perception will be very large, the King's reconstruction ideas and reconstruction frames are more difficult than the Rockets, in the two confrontations between each other, the game is more of a transaction inspection, more is to show that the defense is unlimited, the team with better offensive stability and continuity can win, and there is no point in talking about the technical and tactical aspects, which is what the rebuilding team should look like, It is also a painful period of growth.
