This time, Chris Webber's double team was well timed and did not give Gary Payton a chance to pass the ball easily.

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 feels like he has been 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 did not hesitate and directly chose to break through.

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

Under such circumstances, he would naturally not make a stupid three-pointer. Isn't it okay for him to 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 didn't let Wang Hao break through in the first shot.

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

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

6:2

An extremely exciting draw goal, and it was a goal almost at the last minute. It was very exciting.

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

On the Kings side, when they keep passing the ball, they will always find the most critical opportunity.

As for the SuperSonics, they only had a little chance, and they immediately switched offense and defense with all the pressure.

Even though the Kings are well aware of this, the Sonics can always find opportunities.

Just for the first time, the Sonics hit three-pointers between offense and defense.

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 SuperSonics are in good overall shape today, especially Lewis and Michael Reed.

The two scored 13 points together in the first quarter and were definitely responsible for leading the game in the first quarter.

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

The game continued in the second quarter, and the Kings wanted to make a wave of efforts to even out the point difference.

I have to say that with the Kings' offensive firepower, it wasn't really a difficult task, and he almost did it.

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

In fact, they almost succeeded.

The Kings held back their energy on defense and almost held the SuperSonics to a 24-second violation.

It was at this time that the basketball fell behind Wang Hao again.

From the three-point line, Wang Hao, who already had a very difficult time catching the ball, shot in an extremely awkward manner.

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

Wang Hao made a three-pointer!

This shot not only shattered the Kings' nearly successful 24-second defense, it also demonstrated the SuperSonics' determination.

With a substitute lineup, Wang Hao decisively chose to take action.

Turkoglu's defense really did not put too much pressure on Wang Hao, allowing Wang Hao to get whatever he asked for.

In desperation, Adelman could only let Christie play early.

Unfortunately, facing Wang Hao with full firepower, even Christie's defense was not effective.

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 deficit at halftime was not insurmountable for the Kings' offensive firepower.

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

The Sonics seemed to have found a way to limit the Kings, allowing him to score only 45 points at halftime, which seemed to illustrate the problem.

On the contrary, the Kings have no effective method.

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

However, as the Kings, they were definitely not willing to admit defeat. As soon as the third quarter started, they launched a crazy counterattack.

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

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

First came Chris Webber, who was playing singles in the paint. Lewis had a hard time defending.

Chris Webber hit a mid-range shot.

Immediately afterwards, Pejastok Yakovic began to explode and hit consecutive three-pointers.

At the beginning of 1 minute, the Kings directly hit an 8:0 offensive climax.

The original lead of 13 points was only 5 points.

This is the Kings, there are many people who can play, can attack, and can score.

In the first half, Peja's performance was average, which made the SuperSonics seem to have forgotten about this super pitcher.

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

First, he made a move without the ball, and through the cover of his teammates, he got a chance to take action.

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

You know, the SuperSonics were the first to use this move. Before the SuperSonics, no one regarded this as a regular scoring method.

However, after more and more teams see the results, some teams have relaxed the restrictions on chasing three-pointers.

For example, the Golden State Warriors, 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 the score being caught up, Paul Westphal couldn't sit still and quickly signaled Gary Payton to slow down the pace.

Although Sonics is good at playing fast, it is also possible to play slow when necessary.

Just like now, the Kings are in very good shape, so they must not be given a chance, especially a chance to counterattack.

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

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 to the low post, blocked Christie with his back and then caught the ball. He wanted to play in the low post.

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

Compared with Gary Payton's low-post singles, Wang Hao's singles have an advantage, that is, his passing field of view is wider.

Moreover, he can pass the ball.
