Chapter 324 Kings 2

Chapter 324 Kings 2

Why did Wang Hao appear here?

Divac was a little dumbfounded, not because he was blocked, but because he didn't know why.

According to his thinking, this should be for an empty basket.

It's just that the fact happened like this, and this is also the preparation for supersonic speed.

Why in the game between the Lakers and the Kings, O'Neal could only watch Chris Webber and Divac make high jumpers?

It's not that O'Neill can't get out of the inside line, but he doesn't dare!

Once the inside line is empty, it will only give the Kings more opportunities, which the Lakers cannot bear.

Their choice is to guard the inside and let Chris Webber and Divac shoot to see if they can vote to kill the Lakers.

Of course, there is still a certain degree of interference and defense.

The Supersonic's choice is the exact opposite, that is, they don't give high jumpers and opportunities to organize offenses at all.

As for the Kings attacking the inside, isn't there Wang Hao?

Use Wang Hao's fast movement ability to help defend the inside line in time and protect the basket.

In fact, this is not unexpected, Wang Hao has always done this.

The guardians of the Supersonic basket have never been PJ Brown and Lewis, but PJ Brown and Wang Hao.

The average of 1.7 blocks per game is already very telling.

To solve this problem, the Kings can only give the ball to Christie who is facing Wang Hao.

However, at that time, there will naturally be other people to help defend.

If you take another ten thousand steps back, you really can't prevent it. Let the Kings score a goal. Isn't this just as it should be?

It is impossible for the Sonics to defend against every attack.

It also makes sense that the Kings could score by moving the ball quicker and faster.

When Wang Hao successfully blocked the shot, it just sent a message to the Kings that the Supersonics' inside line was not empty.

"Wang Hao successfully blocked Divac!"

Zhang Lili said strangely: "From the beginning of this game, it was very interesting!

The big center holds the ball and cuts through the air, while the outside players run inside to guard the basket. This is all messed up! "

In fact, Zhang Lili wasn't the only one who felt weird. A group of commentators also felt weird.

The inside player made an empty cut and broke through for a layup, and the outside player ran to the inside to defend, but the defense succeeded.

The commentator can feel weird, but the Sonics and Kings players have no time to think so.

Because the supersonic speed has begun to fight back!

Gary Payton leaned away from Mike Bibby, quickly broke through to the frontcourt, and had to slow down.

The Kings' defense is actually not that bad.

Moreover, they are good at playing Princeton basketball, and they are also very team-oriented when defending.

At this time, Wang Hao also rushed up.

Without too much hesitation, Gary Payton quickly passed the ball to Wang Hao, and Wang Hao broke through without slowing down.

In fact, Christie's reaction was not slow, but she couldn't stop Wang Hao, and could only say that she followed closely.

He tried his best to use his body to fight and interfere with Wang Hao, but unfortunately, the effect was not very satisfactory.

Wang Hao's physical confrontation is also not bad, and he firmly stabilizes his figure.

According to his thinking, it is naturally a direct dunk, to frighten the Kings.

It's just that, when he combined the ball for a three-step basket, Chris Webber had also helped defend him.

Why does the Kings have a good defense against fast breaks?

Because of their two insiders, one of them will always stand in a high position, and when they return to defense, they will naturally be in position quickly.

Facing the defense of the two, Wang Hao did not blindly go to the basket, but stepped on the three-second zone and jumped high.

Instead of jumping toward the hoop, jump up to the side and back.

Under the inertia of high-speed action, Wang Hao seemed to jump straight up.

Christie naturally jumped high, and together with Chris Webber behind him, wanted to stop Wang Hao.

It's a pity that Wang Hao's left hand lifted it up and firmly blocked it, while his right hand held the ball high with one hand.

Christie and Chris Webber tried their best to stretch their bodies, but unfortunately, they could only sigh.

Wang Hao let the ball out very softly, and after hitting the board, it fell steadily into the basket, and the supersonic speed scored first.

2:0

Going back to the Kings' offensive round, there are still two ball-holding organizations inside at high positions.

It's a pity that this trick doesn't work against the supersonic speed.

Moreover, this time, Gary Payton organized Mike Bibby's response, forcing Divac to give the ball to Peja.

After Peja got the ball, he didn't have a chance to shoot directly. He chose to take Michael Reid hard.

To be honest, in terms of height, Peja does have an advantage, but unfortunately, there is nothing wrong with confrontation.

The mid-range turnaround jumper from the baseline still came out of the frame.

The Supersonics protected the rebound and failed to find a fast break opportunity, so they could only fall into positional warfare.

Gary Payton dropped decisively low and chose to single Mike Bibby.

Mike Bibby's defense can only be regarded as an okay category, but his lack of height and reluctant confrontation make it difficult for him to deal with Gary Payton.

Sure enough, Gary Payton's low singles attracted Chris Webber's help defense, and Lewis got an open shot.

4:0

From the start of the game, the Sonics had a firm grip on the situation.

On the side of the Kings, Adelman couldn't sit still. He stood up quickly, yelling and making gestures.

As the core of the team's offensive organization, Mike Bibby immediately received the message from the head coach.

This time, instead of continuing to give the ball to the two insiders in the high position, he made another gesture.

Divac and Chris Webber are still standing at a high position, but they are obviously closer.

Mike Bibby suddenly broke through in front of the two with the ball, and Gary Payton understood that this was a pick-and-roll.

However, just as he bypassed Chris Webber, he suddenly discovered that there was another big guy in front of him.

Divac blocked his route again.

This is obviously a double pick-and-roll using two center forwards' pick-and-roll, allowing Mike Bibby to break through successfully.

At this time, Gary Payton, who needed to go around the defense, could no longer keep up.

It can only be a defense!

Sure enough, PJ Brown reacted very quickly, quickly contracted the inside line, and used his height and wingspan to cover Mike Bibby.

Mike Bibby reacted just as quickly, and he returned the ball to Divac, who had only one Gary Payton in front of him.

In fact, the double-screen breakthrough just now has disrupted the Supersonic defensive formation.

PJ Brown's ability to stop Mike Bibby is already a very sufficient performance of the Sonics' defensive toughness.

When Divac got the ball, Gary Payton couldn't reach it at all, and Lewis double-teamed at the same time.

I have to say that the big man of the Kings can really pass the ball.

Divac immediately discovered Chris Webber's space, and Chris Webber still came to the middle distance on the right.

At this time, if the defense is based on a perfect rotation, it should be Wang Hao who makes up for this loophole.

It's a pity that today's Wang Hao has another important task, he needs to help defend the inside line at any time.

While Mike Bibby broke through, he had already consciously approached the basket from the baseline.

Faced with Chris Webber's shot, he couldn't go back at all.

As expected of the most stable scoring leader of the Kings, Chris Webber's mid-range shot made a steady hit.

4:2

In this regard, the Sonics are not discouraged from top to bottom. Defensive problems are inevitable.

This is a basketball game, you can't keep a clean sheet?

In a basketball game, it's up to who has the higher score. It doesn't matter if you can't let go of your opponent, as long as you score.

Just as the Sonics can limit the Kings' tactics, the reverse is also the same.

This time, Chris Webber's double-team timing was in place, and Gary Payton was not given an easy pass.

Moreover, the Kings' defensive rotation is also not slow, which makes it difficult for the Sonics to get easy shots.

In the end, basketball can only be handed over to Wang Hao.

It's a bit like being dumped, but as the core of the team, this is what he needs to do.

Seeing that there were only 8 seconds left in the attack time, Wang Hao chose to break through without hesitation.

There is no way, everyone knows that he is good at three-pointers, and whoever defends him is staring at his three-pointers.

Under such circumstances, he naturally wouldn't foolishly shoot a three-pointer. Can't he break through?

Anyone who thinks that Wang Hao's breakthrough is not good will definitely suffer a big loss.

It had to be Christie, who defended very well, and Wang Hao didn't even let Wang Hao break through the first time.

However, Wang Hao's reaction was also very timely, first he stopped suddenly, and then broke through again. A change in rhythm allowed him to break through successfully.

Facing Divac's defense, Wang Hao jumped high, avoided the defense in mid-air, and scored from one side.

6:2

An extremely wonderful pull-bar goal, and it was almost a last-minute goal, very exciting.

In this way, the two sides come and go, without giving in.

On the Kings side, when passing and cutting the ball constantly, they will always find close opportunities.

On the Supersonic side, there is only a little chance, and it will immediately be an offensive and defensive transition with all players pressing on.

Even if the Kings already know this very well, the Sonics can always find opportunities.

For just the first time, the Sonics hit a [-]-pointer between two transitions.

They are from Michael Reid and Lewis respectively. It can be seen that both of them are in good condition.

28:23

At the end of the first quarter, the Sonics led by 5 points.

I have to say that the overall state of the Sonics today is good, especially Lewis and Michael Reid.

The two scored 13 points together in the first quarter, which is definitely the hero for the lead in the first quarter.

And Wang Hao, after scoring 4 points in the opening game, took on more tasks involving defense.

The game continued in the second quarter, and the Kings wanted to make a wave of effort as soon as they came up to even out the point difference.

It has to be said that with the offensive firepower of the Kings, it is really not difficult, and he almost did it.

Score two consecutive rounds, the point difference is only 1 point, successfully defend once, and score another goal, that is enough.

In fact, they almost succeeded.

The Kings suffocated their defense and almost made the Supersonic defense a 24-second violation.

At this time, the basketball fell behind Wang Hao again.

From the three-point line, Wang Hao, who had already had a hard time catching the ball, made the shot with an extremely awkward posture.

It's just that Turkoglu, who was defending him, might be worried about fouling and didn't put enough pressure on him.

Wang Hao stunned and hit a three-pointer!

This ball hit not only shattered the Kings' almost successful 24-second defense, but also showed the determination of the Supersonics.

With a substitute lineup, Wang Hao decisively chose to do it.

Turkoglu's defense really didn't put too much pressure on Wang Hao, allowing Wang Hao to get whatever he wanted.

In desperation, Adelman could only let Christie play early.

It's a pity that even Christie's defense is not very effective against Wang Hao who is fully fired.

With a performance of 15 points in a single quarter, Wang Hao led the Supersonics to widen the point difference.

58:45

The 13-point difference at halftime is not impossible for the Kings' offensive firepower.

But, how do they limit the Sonics' scoring?Especially how to limit Wang Hao?

The Sonics seem to have found a way to limit the Kings, allowing him to score only 45 points in the half, which seems to explain the problem.

On the contrary, the Kings have no effective way.

Both offense and defense seemed to have problems. It was difficult for the Kings to regain the situation in the second half.

It's just that, as the Kings, they definitely don't want to admit defeat. As soon as the third quarter started, they launched a crazy counterattack.

Of course, the premise of all this is a tactical change.

The Supersonics don't have O'Neal inside, and the Kings really don't need to insist on high-post play.

First was Chris Webber, he played singles in the paint, and it was really difficult for Lewis to defend.

Chris Webber made a mid-range shot.

Immediately afterwards, Peja Stokjakovic began to explode, hitting consecutive three-pointers.

In the early 1 minute, the Kings directly played an 8:0 offensive climax.

The original lead of 13 points was only 5 points.

This is the Kings. There are many players who can attack and score.

In the first half, Peja played in general, which made the Sonics seem to have forgotten the super pitcher.

But once he gets a chance, the Sonics will pay the price.

First, he ran without the ball, and through the cover of his teammates, he got a chance to make a shot.

Immediately afterwards, it turned out to be a chasing three-pointer in a counterattack.

You know, this trick is played first by the Supersonics. Before the Supersonics, no one used it as a regular scoring method.

It's just that after more and more teams see the effect, some teams have released the restrictions on chasing three-pointers.

For example, the Golden State Warriors, such as the Dallas Mavericks, and of course the Sacramento Kings.

These teams that advocate three-pointers and are willing to shoot three-pointers are naturally willing to try such an offense.

Seeing that the score was being caught up, Paul Westphal couldn't sit still, and quickly signaled Gary Payton to slow down the rhythm.

Although the Supersonics are good at playing fast, it is also possible to play at a slow pace when necessary.

Just like now, the Kings are in a very good state, so don't give them a chance, especially a chance to counterattack.

At this time, ensuring the success rate is the most important thing.

To ensure the success rate of scoring, the Sonics naturally have a way, and that is the new regular season MVP.

Wang Hao simply dropped low, blocked Christie with his back and then received the ball. He wanted to play low singles.

Sure enough, the moment Wang Hao held the ball, almost all attention was focused on him.

Compared with Gary Payton's low-post singles, Wang Hao's singles has an advantage, that is, a wider passing vision.

Also, he can pass the ball.
