Kings notes: Bibby hones his shot with late-night practice

[#4 Mr.Time Out]

최근 슛이 매우 부진한 마이크 비비가 샬럿과의 경기가 끝난후 경기장에 남아서 홀로 슛 연습을 한후 다음날 아침에도 일찍나와서 연습을 했다네요. 그는 지난 샬럿과의 경기에서 9개의 미스슛을 범했고 그중 하나가 에어볼이였답니다. 비비 자존심이 많이 상한듯 하군요.

그는 슛의 연습방향을 단순 연습보다는 그의 근육이 기억하게끔 만들고 있다는군요..대게 농구선수들이 슛연습할때 이런다지만 왜 비비가 이런말을 하면 더 멋있는지..

그같은 리그 최고의 슛터가 42.7이라는 필드골퍼센테이지를 가지고 있다는게 저도 좀 걸립니다. 올초만 하더라도 5할은 유지했는데요. 최근 5경기엔 필드골이 아주 가관이었죠..내일 늑대전까지라도 회복해야 할것 같습니다. (여담이지만 올해 킹스에서 170클럽 한명은 배출해내야죠^^ 현재까지는 브래드가 가장 가능성이 있지만 그는 3점을 많은 시도를 하는선수가 아니므로 작년처럼 비비에게 가장 기대를 갖습니다. 페야도 가능하구요.)

나머지는 쭈욱 읽어보시길 바랍니다. 밀러와 오스터택에관한 이야기도 있습니다.


If you have some idle time, figure out how long it would take you to make 450 jump shots from 15 to 23 feet with a couple of people retrieving your shots.

That might provide an an idea how long Mike Bibby spent in the Kings' practice facility Tuesday night following the team's 109-92 win over the Charlotte Bobcats.

Bibby left the facility early Wednesday morning feeling a little better about his shot than he did a few hours earlier when he was 3 for 12 from the field against the expansion team. Included among those nine misses was an airball.
Bibby said it didn't take long to get comfortable with his jump shot.

"After a couple of shots from the inside, I started feeling pretty good." said Bibby, who is shooting 42.7 percent from the field for this season and has had three single-digit point totals his past five games, "A lot of it is just (wrist) snap. I'm not snapping. I'm trying to get that back to my memory bank because it's all muscle memory."

Bibby is renowned for his consistent shooting drills, especially during the offseason. However, this season he's tried to rest. This was the first time he had gone into the gym for one of his marathon sessions.

"I haven't been coming to shoot this much," he said. "Usually I'm shooting all the way through (the season). But I've been trying to rest the little nicks.

"When my first shot (against the Bobcats) went in and out, I thought I was all right because it felt good. But after you miss a couple more, you start thinking about what you can do and what you aren't doing and it gets in your mind a little bit.

"So I figured I'd come in and try to get my mind right again and my muscle memory back."




Miller ready to hunt - The NBA schedule-maker did Kings center Brad Miller a solid. The team plays back-toback Friday and Saturday nights in Minneapolis and Indianapolis, respectively, and then is idle until Tuesday night in Milwaukee. So Miller and Greg Ostertag - is there an outdoors program in need of a couple of 7-foot hosts? - plan to go hunting Sunday.

"We're off all day Sunday and there will be no cell phones," Miller said. "Yeah, I'm going to take Greg with me. Nobody is going to be able to find me unless they know."


아! 그리고 내일 드디어 12월스윕의 가장 큰 고비인 원정 3연전이 시작합니다. 미네소타와의 원정경기도 부담스러운데 다음날 바로 인디애나폴리스까지 날아가서 경기를 해야합니다. 킹스로써는 매우 벅찬 스케줄이죠.. 게다가 마지막 팀이 홈에서 강한 젊은팀 밀워키입니다. 여기서 3승!!아니 적어도 2승은 거둬줘야 할듯 합니다..모두들 12월 싸글이 쓸게 응원!부탁.ㅋ
