Doug Christie appreciates the leadership of DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook
This Tuesday, Kings he received Clips that after the victory against the Rockets in overtime, they try to continue and thus find color in a complicated season.
Detroit quickly outscored Sacramento as the Michigan franchise already had a 24-point lead in the second quarter. However, the Kings tried to come back, the Californians returned seven points in the last quarter, but were unable to complete this comeback. and s’inclinent 127-136
We were fighting in the fourth quarter, but it was too late. laments rookie Nick Clifford. “We have to be able to play two halves. That’s the story of this season, so it’s up to us to learn from it.”
To get back into the game, the Kings could once again count on a solid performance from the duo Russell Westbrook – DeMar DeRozan. The former scored 27 points, while the latter finished as the game’s top scorer with 37 points, but, as is often the case this season in Sacramento, it was not enough.
“They deserve better”
Sans Zach Lavine, the former Chicagoan multiplied his good games as he scored 27 points against the Rockets and 33 against the Blazers on December 18, but the Kings still lost.
“He’s one of the best scorers in the league and he’s a very good athlete.” Nick Clifford recalls of DeMar DeRozan. “Guys like him or Russ (ell Westbrook) deserve better than what we’re showing right now. I want to help them and they don’t deserve to be in this situation. It’s up to us to get better collectively, but we’re still learning how to play together.”
If there are no sports results, Doug Christie appreciates the contribution of his two veterans in the development of Sacramento’s young players. last week, Maquime Raynaud pointed out that Russell Westbrook helped him to unblock yourself mentally so he can fully launch his NBA career.
“What I like about these guys is their competitive side and the way they are always professional,” loves Doug Christie. “They always try to help young people. When you go through a complicated period, your true character always comes out. They do all the little things to help young people develop.”
