The message after Thursday's practice: Not going hard will earn a trip to the soft chairs next to him on the bench. "From my standpoint, what I need to do is pull guys out of the game that don't want to play," said Natt, whose team's 117-109 loss to Indiana on Tuesday was its 19th defeat in the last 22 games. "Guys who don't play with effort, that's who I'll start pulling out of the game. I've made it very clear to them that that's where we're going from now on." Natt, who has spent much of his tenure juggling the desire to win with the realities of rebuilding and developing young players, said he must take a more "black and white" approach. "Even in a developing situation, you can't stay in a basketball game if (they're) not going to play," Natt said. "If you think that you're going to stay in the game (without playing hard), you're going to be sitting over there with me. That's what they have to understand." Natt's morning with his team began with a film session. Some of the clips, Natt said, showed "how bad, how awful, how horrible (the Kings) were defensively." Others, he added, showed "how good (the Kings) were." The next question, however, is how much different the film from Sunday's game against Denver will look. Natt, who isn't holding practice for the second day in three days today, said he would spend much of this rare break in the schedule contemplating a lineup change. "We have another couple of days here, and we'll see what happens with our lineup when we start on Sunday," he said. "This is an opportunity for guys to continue to work hard. We'll find out which guys are willing to work hard and listen and play within the system." When it comes to Bobby Jackson, it's no secret that he intends to be a coach when his playing days are over. And while the Kings guard said he found Natt's stance refreshing, he's not confident it will make a difference. "It's good to hear him say that," Jackson said. "Hopefully guys will start to turn around these last 19, 20-something games we've got. But it's been going this way all year, so I don't see anything changing. … All the games we've been playing in, it's been like that all year. He's going to have to do that if he wants to make a change." Jackson did, however, like the idea of taking the hard line of a different kind. "If we start fouling hard and limit all the layups and dunks and stuff like that, we'd be a pretty good team," he added. "But if we keep giving up all the layups we did against Indiana, the game will be a totally different game. "The proof is in the pudding. It's like I told the guys after the game, 'We ain't fooling ourselves. People see who's playing hard, and people see who ain't playing hard.' " The ultimate example of an unlikely benching, of course, would be one involving Kings shooting guard Kevin Martin. While he is the team's leading scorer at 24.1 points per game, he is also routinely the player targeted in opposing team's scouting reports as a weak defender. "As a player, you go by (Natt's) rules," he said when asked about the coach's new stance. "So you're not going to play if you don't play 'D.' I agree with him." The question of which injured Kings will be available to play remains in doubt, as point guard Beno Udrih remains day-to-day with a sprained right foot. Kings swingman Francisco Garcia practiced after suffering a non-displaced fracture on his right ring finger against Indiana and likely will play Sunday. ____ 概要: 1.總教練說剩下的20場比賽誰上場擺爛防守不力就去他旁邊坐板凳 2.Bobby Jackson說他很高興總教練這麼說, 但是他不抱期望, 因為球隊一整年防守都是這麼爛, 如果教練想改變不會現在才這樣做 3.KM,被認為是這項新政策執行程度的指標, 因為雖然他是球隊得分王, 卻是對手球探報告裡常提到的防守漏洞,他說總教練怎麼規定大家就怎麼遵守 4.Beno仍列入每日觀察名單, Cisco雖然無名指骨折, 裡拜一應該還是會出賽 5.新聞連結下面有很多球迷留言, 美國鄉民的水準不一定就比較高, 不過有些點到滿說到我心坎裡的, 大家可以看看有沒有人跟你想的一樣 -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.114.193.240
