Chapter 246 Kings 3(1/2)
Author: Feng Yuanhua
Due to a foul, the Kings restarted the serve.
It was Divac who still got the ball in the high post and wanted to try to pass the ball to Peja, but Wang Hao watched it very hard.
And Peja does not have the ability to attack with the ball. Without a good opportunity, Divac did not dare to pass the ball to him.
It would be dangerous if Wang Hao really forced him to make a mistake.
Even if there are no mistakes, once Peja gets the ball, he will of course try to attack, and the rhythm of the game will stagnate.
In the Kings' tactics, Peja is just a finisher. Now that there is no chance to finish, it is best not to pass the ball to him.
As a veteran, Divac has a very clear mind. Even if Peja asked for the ball, he didn't give it to him.
Seeing that there were less than 10 seconds left, he didn't waste any time and directly gave the ball to Chris Webber.
This is undoubtedly the most correct choice.
Although time was running out, Webb was not in a hurry and faced the basket directly after getting the ball.
First there was a test step, and then there was a second test, a very realistic fake move, which really affected PJ Brown.
You know, to be able to enter the second team of the NBA All-Defensive Team, PJ Brown's defensive strength is definitely not bad.
The fact that P.J. Brown can be shaken with just one tentative step only shows that Chris Webber's fake moves are realistic and that he is a big enough threat.
Even if it was a fake move, PJ Brown had to deal with it carefully.
Seeing PJ Brown's center of gravity shift, Chris Webber directly chose to break through.
However, he did not rush to the end, but after taking a step forward, he chose to turn around.
If it were another defender, Chris Webber could easily take the shot after being shaken away.
However, PJ Brown is indeed PJ Brown, and he suddenly regained his focus.
Seeing that Chris Webber was about to take action, he simply took off and tried to block the shot.
However, at this moment, the basketball that had reached the top of the head was suddenly taken back. This was another fake move.
Chris Webber watched P.J. Brown fall from the commanding heights with extremely calm eyes, and then took action unhurriedly.
"Whoa!"
2:2
Known as the most gorgeous power forward in NBA history, this sentence is not said casually.
Chris Webber has athletic talent, and the fact that he can win the rebounding title with his height of 206 centimeters already speaks volumes.
At the same time, he also has extremely comprehensive offensive skills, including post-up singles and face-to-basket breakthroughs. He is the league's top strength.
Not only that, he also has extremely wonderful passing skills, all kinds of mysterious passes, and even back passes.
When it comes to passing the ball unexpectedly, he can even rival his teammate White Chocolate.
Someone once said, what would happen if Chris Webber came to the small ball era?
Perhaps, he can also start a new era.
Okay, I'm overthinking that. No one knows whether Chris Webber can stay in the small ball era.
However, even in this era and in this game, it is not that easy for PJ Brown to completely restrict him.
However, PJ Brown did not immerse himself in the goal he just conceded. He kept the head coach's arrangements firmly in mind.
As soon as the basketball hit the ground, he had already picked it up, walked out of the baseline, and served.
Gary Payton didn't delay after getting the ball and rushed forward quickly. The Kings didn't even react for a while.
Well, no wonder they are.
In the previous three games, the Sonics basically played a slow-paced offense, focusing on positional warfare.
This suddenly increased the speed, and no one could react in time.
By the time White Chocolate reacted, Gary Payton had already passed half court, so he could only block it immediately.
However, just as he approached Gary Payton, Gary Payton had already passed the ball.
But in the other half, Wang Hao had already gotten rid of Peja. After getting the ball, he stepped into the three-point line.
This time, Wang Hao didn't dare to play any fancy tricks, but just dunked an honest civilian.
4:2
At this moment, everyone on the Kings team, including the bench, all looked at Peja.
The meaning is obvious, brother, you should defend better!
It was so easy to get rid of him and let others score easily. You know how difficult it was for them to score just two points.
Peja felt aggrieved. He really didn't think it was his fault.
Because in the defensive round, the person facing him was not Wang Hao. He was about to find his defender. Who knew that Wang Hao would suddenly rush out?
So Christie is to blame for this conceding goal?
Of course it doesn't work, after all, in the offensive round just now, it was Rashard Lewis who defended him.
There was a distance between him and Wang Hao, so he couldn't catch up at the first time.
Adelman didn't care who was responsible for this. He already had a hunch that today's SuperSonics had obvious changes in tactics.
He loudly reminded his players to pay attention to the opponent's fast break.
It was the Kings' turn to attack, and this time, it was still Chris Webber.
He was holding the ball and preparing for a singles, when he suddenly responded and passed the ball to Divac who came in through an air cut.
The two big players completed a wonderful internal pass and internal cooperation, and Divac scored a layup.
The SuperSonics still serve quickly. Although the Kings are ready, they are still trying to speed up as much as possible.
No, Lewis quickly walked down the sideline, which made Christie dare not go to Wang Hao for the first time.
During this delay, Wang Hao was already positioned outside the three-point line, and the ball had been passed to him.
Facing Peja's defense, he didn't waste any time, just broke through and passed Peja in one step.
Chris Webber had to make up for it, but missed P.J. Brown again.
With a flick of Wang Hao's wrist, the basketball flew out from Chris Webber's side, just to P.J. Brown.
Thanks to Divac's advance judgment, he moved over early and blocked P.J. Brown's dunk.
However, he also paid a foul.
PJ Brown made one of two free throws, and the Sonics took the lead again. Although they only led by one point, they were still ahead!
In the Kings' offensive round, this time, White Chocolate simply did not pass the ball, but chose to do it himself.
He asked Divac to give him a pick-and-roll because he knew that Ewing couldn't guard him now.
After the pick-and-roll, as expected, Ewing chose to shrink inside, and White Chocolate got the opportunity to take a high shot.
It's a pity that his shooting is not as exciting as passing.
The basketball bounced out of the frame and fell into Ewing's hands. After getting the ball, he immediately found Wang Hao.
Wang Hao resolutely implemented the head coach's arrangements and played as fast as possible whenever he had the opportunity.
Therefore, he didn't look for Gary Payton at all, but simply dribbled the ball in.
Today's Wang Hao is not the person who could dribble the ball to his feet two years ago.
When Wang Hao saw Wang Hao charging with the ball, Christie on the other side quickly followed up and wanted to stand in front of Wang Hao.
At the same time, Peja did not dare to short Wang Hao like this, so he simply formed a double-team pattern.
Fortunately, Wang Hao immediately adjusted his dribbling rhythm and did not really rush into the pocket. He even saw an opportunity out of the corner of his eye.
I saw Wang Hao leaping high and throwing the ball directly to the bottom corner.
And there, it was Lewis who was left empty. After getting the ball, Lewis took aim for a few seconds before taking action.
"Whoa!"
Looking back, during the Kings' offense, Peja finally found a chance and hit a two-pointer.
A very clever double screen, and the one behind the screen was Divac.
Again, Ewing couldn't get out, which gave Peja the opportunity to take action calmly.
In any case, as a top shooter, Peja is still worthy of trust when he really gets a chance.
Paul Westphal also saw the problem and decisively replaced Ewing after half a quarter of the game.
Moreover, the person who replaced Ewing was not another center, but Reuben Patterson on the back line.
Yes, he plans to continue to speed up.
I have to say that compared to Adelman, Paul Westphal is obviously the more courageous one.
To be continued...
