Back to the Sonics' offensive round, Wang Hao did not run without the ball, but directly asked for the ball in the low post.

Christie tried his best to challenge Wang Hao, but Wang Hao resisted and won the ball steadily.

As soon as he got the ball, the Kings were not polite. Someone immediately double-teamed him, naturally it was Mike Bibby on the same side.

However, Mike Bibby is also very experienced. He did not pounce on him all at once, but kept cruising around.

There was no way, Gary Payton's three-pointer just now made him afraid to double-team desperately.

Wang Hao did not rush to attack. This was the head coach's request.

Wang Hao holds the ball on the baseline, and Gary Payton is on the same side, which has attracted enough attention.

At this time, if the Sonics can run more without the ball and make cuts on the other side, there will definitely be a lot of opportunities.

To be honest, if Ruben Patterson was still here at this time, perhaps he would be more suitable for this tactic.

Notwithstanding this, Paul Westphal also clearly felt that the SuperSonics' inside line was a bit crowded.

Or, when Wang Hao needs to go down low, PJ Brown and Ewing must appear on one side at the same time.

This undoubtedly makes the two people's positions overlap, and the effect is not good.

More importantly, PJ Brown has limited shooting range and cannot put too much pressure on his opponents.

As for Ewing, he actually has a long range, but he is too old and his running is obviously insufficient.

In the end, Mike Bibby chose to double-team, because if he didn't act, Wang Hao would really take action.

This is inconsistent with the Kings' pregame tactics.

After four preseason games, the Kings are naturally paying attention to the SuperSonics.

Not only because of the defeat in the Western Conference semifinals last year, but also because the two teams are in the same division.

After a season, the two teams will play against each other 4 times.

Through the performance in the preseason, the Kings also know that the SuperSonics have a new tactic, Wang Hao's words are low-post singles.

This is the beginning of the season, and the new team still needs to get used to it, especially Wang Hao's low-post singles. How good is it?

Adelman, on his side, had no intention of being a sparring partner and simply arranged a double-teaming tactic.

To put it bluntly, he also knew that Wang Hao was not easy to let go.

This kind of super scorer will be difficult to deal with once he can easily develop his touch in the opening game.

Unfortunately, the effect of double-teaming is not obvious.

Wang Hao is obviously not the kind of player who only sees the basket after getting the ball and doesn't know how to pass the ball.

Seeing that Mike Bibby was about to double-team, Wang Hao was very straightforward and gave the ball to Gary Payton with one hit.

Mike Bibby is very good. He is not only a qualified point guard, but he is also not bad defensively.

He was actually aware that Wang Hao could pass the ball, and he returned very quickly when he was well prepared.

There was no chance for Gary Payton to take action directly.

However, Gary Payton's reaction was equally quick. The moment he got the ball, he returned the ball to Wang Hao again.

This is a simple inside-out tactic that creates singles opportunities for inside players.

It looks simple, but in fact it is not that easy to do. He is very strict about passing skills and timing.

Let's just say that the Chinese team has such a huge advantage like Yao Ming. What they need to do is to create singles opportunities for Yao Ming.

If such tactics can be used and Yao Ming is given a one-on-one opportunity, the probability of scoring a goal is very high.

Unfortunately, many times, Yao Ming was double-teamed when he got the ball and had to pass the ball out.

At this time, if the players of the Chinese team want to return the ball to Yao Ming, sometimes time is no longer so good.

You can't just blame other players, because sometimes, Yao Ming's timing of passing the ball is not so appropriate.

Maybe all insiders have this problem. To score, they need to rely on teammates to feed the ball. After getting the ball, they are very reluctant to pass it out.

Unless you have to pass the ball.

The basketball returned to Wang Hao's hands again, and he directly made a move to shoot. In this case, there was a good chance that the defender would be knocked away.

However, a good defender must always remember that maintaining a defensive position is the most important thing.

Only when you stand in a defensive position and don't falter can you talk about defense.

Christie was like this. He stretched out his hand, but he didn't jump.

However, the defensive team was passive after all, and his focus was still disturbed by Wang Hao.

After the fake move, Wang Hao quickly broke through, and Christie naturally tried his best to catch up.

In order to prevent Wang Hao from breaking through, he simply did not dare to leave any room, and the result of having no room was that there would be no follow-up.

Sure enough, Wang Hao made another change in rhythm. This was an emergency stop, and Christie simply rushed past him.

"Whoosh!"

There were no surprises. Wang Hao's mid-range shots hit the target steadily. It seemed a bit difficult for a single defense to guard him.

13:3

Seeing that the score continued to widen, Adelman had to stand up and called a timeout.

It's a big problem that the defense can't prevent it, but the bigger problem is that the offense can't either.

You know, what the Kings rely on to become famous and reach the Western Conference Finals last year is their offense.

If Chris Webber is here, when the team's offense is not going well, he can still be relied on to solve the problem in isolation.

Now that Chris Webber is missing, the Kings' offense has obviously been greatly affected.
