Chapter 325 The first battle, win
At the moment when Wang Hao held the ball, almost all his attention was focused on him.
Compared with Gary Payton's low-post singles, Wang Hao's singles have an advantage, that is, his passing vision is wider.
Moreover, he can pass the ball.
The Kings naturally knew Wang Hao's deterrence in the low post and immediately adopted a double-team defense.
But the double-teamed person was replaced by Divac.
To put it bluntly, it's just bullying PJ Brown without a range and cannot pull to the outside.
When Wang Hao was playing singles, Lewis had already pulled to the other side, and Chris Webber had no way to defend.
Divac is very experienced. While assisting in defense, he raised his arms and consciously cut off the connection between Wang Hao and PJ Brown.
If it were Gary Payton, it might be possible that he would have been forced to act, take the ball out, or be forced to transfer the ball.
In this way, the battle was also resolved when playing singles at low positions.
Wang Hao had a way, but he jumped high, and his height had surpassed Divac and easily gave the ball to PJ Brown.
PJ Brown in the three-second zone adjusted one step and dunked directly.
60:53
Paul Westfal, standing on the bench, quickly applauded and shouted loudly.
"I did a pretty job, that's what I did, and there was defense, to play out the intensity of the defense."
Peja's consecutive goals made Michael Reed feel very guilty. This time, he simply entangled wildly.
In order to defend, he no longer cared about his physical strength.
Peja received the ball again, but there was no time to adjust, and Michael Reed had already followed.
Peja was forced to pass the ball, and the Kings' offense was a bit stagnant, and Mike Bibby simply broke through by himself.
His speed is not fast, but Gary Payton's speed is not fast either.
Mike Bibby's breakthrough is better at using pick-and-rolls, and also changing rhythms to create opportunities for breakthroughs.
It's true, I really gave him some chance.
Wang Hao quickly shrank, of course, it was a bit of a fake move, after all, he still had a defender.
Sure enough, Mike Bibby really passed the ball, just to Christie at the bottom corner.
This is what Christie is good at.
However, Wang Hao was prepared for it, and his deception tactics were successful, so he quickly went out.
Christie has a three-pointer, but like many 3D players, the defense is good and the three-pointer is a bit problematic.
They got three-pointers, relying heavily on their teammates' passes, and were three-pointers in large open space.
This is how Christie made a three-pointer, and his preparation was a little longer.
If you want to say that if you are a three-pointer who attacks independently, you will have no chance to take action if you are shooting in front of the shot.
This gave Wang Hao a chance to return to defense.
Sure enough, when Christie was about to take action, Wang Hao also returned to the right place in time.
Although it was not able to block it, Wang Hao's appearance obviously disturbed Christie.
He seemed to have adjusted his shooting rhythm, and the final result was naturally a basketball bounced out.
This time the shot was short and just hit the front of the basket, and the rebound just fell into Wang Hao's hands.
Wang Hao quickly advanced with the ball, but under Christie's entanglement, he failed to fight back.
It was still Wang Hao who took the ball to attack, but this time he did not reach the low post, but instead asked for a pick-and-roll.
Lewis quickly opened before the pick-and-roll was over. This sudden change made the Kings a little unexpected.
Christie and Chris Webber were both taken away some of their attention, and this gave Wang Hao a chance.
Wang Hao would not waste such an opportunity and directly took three-pointers.
His shooting moves don't require much preparation, a little shot space is enough.
By the time Chris Webber reached out to interfere, he had already completed his move.
"Swish!"
63:53
The Supersonics hit back, and the score difference was once again widened to double digits, which made the Kings' preparation for resting in the halftime was wasted.
Supersonics will make mistakes once, but not second.
The Kings failed to seize that opportunity, and there might not be another chance next.
Sure enough, in the following game, the Kings tried every means to pursue points.
Unfortunately, supersonic speed does not give you any chance.
The score difference is around 10 points, constantly fluctuating back and forth, but the Kings firmly grasp the lead.
Not only that, in the last two minutes of the third quarter, both sides were mixed with the main lineup and the substitute.
Christie came out, and the defense of Wang Hao was replaced by Tkoglu, and Wang Hao started the random killing mode again.
Originally, Adelman replaced Tkoglu and replaced Christie to catch up with points.
In comparison, although Christie can defend, his ability to attack independently is worse.
It’s a pity that the score was not enough to catch up, but the score difference was widening.
In the last ten seconds, it was originally the Kings' offensive round, and they needed to score another person.
If the score difference of 14 points is brought to the fourth quarter, perhaps the Kings will have to raise the white flag and surrender.
Mike Bibby gave the ball to Tkoglu and gave up the right to the offensive organization, which was actually something Adelman intended to arrange.
Wang Hao has strong assistant defense capabilities, one is Wang Hao and the other is PJ Brown, which is the key to protecting the supersonic basket.
Adelman has considered what to do about this issue.
In fact, it is also very simple. Take Wang Hao away from the inside line, just like now, Wang Hao is defending Tkoglu at the top of the arc.
At this time, unless Wang Hao can teleport, he will not be able to return to the inside line at all.
Tekoglu naturally knew his role, and he was already considering how to give the ball to the inside this time.
It is best if a teammate succeeds in cutting the space. He has a wonderful pass and directly sends his teammates to dunk.
It's pretty beautiful to think about it.
Tekoglu only cared about watching his teammates' running position, but Yu Guang looked at Wang Hao in front of him and kept dribbling at the same rhythm.
At this moment, Wang Hao suddenly moved. After a short while of observation, he had seen through Tkoglu's rhythm.
Just as he gave the ball left and right, Wang Hao also reacted and reached out his hand in advance.
At this time, Tkoglu had already finished the ball-catching thing and could not adjust the rhythm at all.
I have to say that Wang Hao's reaction was also very fast. With just a little chance and a little prediction, he successfully captured the basketball.
The basketball went straight out of Tkoglu's control and flew towards the Kings' half.
Caught off guard, Tkoglu was anxious to grab the ball back and fought against Wang Hao again, but instead staggered and almost fell down.
Wang Hao had already pushed him away, grabbed the basketball alone and rushed towards the opponent's half.
Looking back, Tkoglu had just gotten up, and the defense of the others was late.
Faced with such an opportunity, Wang Hao naturally would not miss it. He stopped outside the three-point line directly.
Outside the three-point line, he aimed for more than 2 seconds before he took action steadily.
"Swish!"
No surprises, three-pointer shot again.
With this three-pointer hit, the score difference widened again, and the 17-point gap really makes people feel a little desperate.
In the fourth quarter, the Kings also resisted and narrowed the gap to 11 points.
Unfortunately, the same problem is still the one that cannot solve the defense.
108:96
The 12-point difference is also a reflection of this game, the gap shown in this game.
With his home court advantage and more preparation, the Supersonics won the game.
After playing the Mavericks, the Kings only had a day off, which was also a physical problem.
