Changes in attitude - 沙加緬度國王 Sacramento Kings

-- Sam Amick| --

It’s a new day in Kings land when ...

"I heard someone say the other day that winning causes chemistry,
but chemistry doesn't cause winning," Kings center Brad Miller said Wednesday.
"I thought that actually was a pretty good quote."

No explanation needed.

The Kings are trying to win without the very element that made them so great
in the glory years of the past, and the chemistry issues do not appear to be
improving. What’s mind boggling about the NBA -- and probably pro sports in
general -- is how quickly the state of a team can either turn around or turn
against each other. Entering this recent stretch of five straight home games,
I was hearing that it would be a vital period for the Kings to assess their
situation before considering the next step. The talk of blowing it up with a
big move died down for a few days when they beat Golden State and New York,
especially in light of a 39-point Ron Artest outburst that was the rare
positive kind. The collective mood took a quick turn for the better inside
the locker room.

Three tough losses later, and things are as bad as they've been this season
as the Kings fell to a previously-unthinkable 10-10 at Arco Arena. The locker
room drama after Tuesday night's game was no small thing, and the challenge
of winning with pieces that can't seem to fit isn't small either.

"There is no way we should be 10-10 (at home)," shooting guard Kevin Martin
said. "This is the same starting five that got us back into things last year."


何謂球隊的 chemistry issue ? 這真的是一個很奧妙又虛幻的東西，

可能是一位 go to guy，像馬刺，湖人，熱火....

也可能都沒有任何明星球員確有著無比可望勝利的團隊氣氛和一個好教練，
像活塞隊一樣，

總之，好消息是，球員們終於開始正視戰績不佳的問題了
