For the first time in his seven seasons with the Kings, Mike Bibby is an incumbent without any job security. He is coming off his least productive season, continues to be mentioned in trade speculation and has a new head coach who insists that he play defense to ensure his playing time. So Bibby didn't exactly stroll into training camp this week in the best of moods. He is edgy and uncomfortable, at times defiant, other times in complete denial. "When you start losing, especially when it's been so good here for so long,they have to look for somebody to blame," he said after practice Tuesday, that chip on his shoulder crowding his many tattoos. "I don't mind it. I'm the leader of this team, so I don't care. I don't feel my defense is that bad." "We start with a clean slate," the rookie coach said, "and when all is said and done, I am the perfect coach for Mike because I played the position. "I know a player can score and get assists. I know he can run a team and take shots. I know he's a pick-and-roll guy, that he likes coming off the baseline, that he doesn't always want to be the guy bringing the ball up the court. But he's got to be willing to put it out there defensively." "Mike has had a really productive run here," said Petrie, "and Reggie wants a chance to coach him ... but I'm not (making) any promises here." 新教練說過 去年最大的問題之一就是球隊的補防根本不存在 其實可以比較同樣是PG的 Nash 他的補防能力就比Bibby好很多 雖然Bibby不認為自己的防守能力不好 但事實就是 新教練希望他攻守兩端都要有發揮 補防能力可以從站位的表現來觀察 Bibby第一線被過 也就算了 但是補防隊友的表現也很少看到 但現在教練很注重防守 堅持防守表現才能確保 你的上場時間 總之 派崔可不保證什麼喔 -- --
