King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 130 Cruel road trip

The fans in the Kings Forum have already begun to celebrate He Yixiang’s making history again, from the assist record in the first game of a rookie, the best of the week in the first week of a rookie, to the first rookie player of the month, the highest score in the history of the three-point contest , He Yixiang is like a record harvester who keeps leaving his footprints in NBA history, even if he is just a rookie.At the same time, he also led the team to set a halftime three-point record, and the entire Kings took on a new look this season.I have to admit that the two transactions at the beginning of the season have really made a qualitative change for the Kings team.

"Record harvester, our king has a record harvester. This rookie season should be regarded as one of the most explosive individual performances in modern basketball."

"As far as the regular season of the rookie season is concerned, I think the magician is not as good as it. Bird, Jordan, O'Neal, Duncan can only say that they are 20-5! It is definitely better than Evans' 5+[-]+[-] It's shocking! What's more, Evans has slipped this season compared to his rookie season."

"Although Magic won the finals MVP in his rookie season, he really can't be called the leader of the team. At that time, the Lakers still had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. How can he be tied with these historical gods? It's already very good! Evans' efficiency has always been Not high, and with the Nets and Harris competing for the ball and injuries, the decline is inevitable. I am looking forward to his return to the Kings, after all, he also brought us many wonderful performances."

"His three-point ability is flawed. I don't think he can start the game better than Casspi, but will he accept the sixth man position for such a best rookie? And after all We traded him first."

While the forum was still celebrating He Yixiang’s record, the youngest triple-double player He Yixiang was about to enter the next cruel road trip with his Kings. The opponents in the game were almost all teams with a winning percentage of more than 50%. The Eastern Eagles, Magic, Celtics, and Heat, except for the Bulls, which are the top five in the Eastern Conference, are all put together!Seeing the upcoming schedule, the Kings fans immediately thought of the seven consecutive players who had brought a lot of injuries in the first half of the season, and they were suddenly full of psychological shadows.

"Such a tight schedule, just don't get hurt, I think it's perfect to win one game. Stern SB, the league is mentally retarded, the last seven-game streak, and this time five-game streak are all aimed at us!"

"Hey, I look forward to coming back with a good record! But there must be no injuries. I hope that I can have more time to rest when I hit the playoffs at the end. Reserving physical strength is also very important for the playoffs. ah!"

Fans are afraid that this schedule will bring injuries, but there is no way to change the schedule.The Kings continued to challenge the Eagles on the second day after this big victory over the Bucks. The last big victory over the Eagles was because the Eagles’ back-to-back away games exhausted the Eagles’ wings Joe Johnson and Josh Smith. Today’s rhythm is changed. On the one hand, back-to-back away games became the Kings, while the Eagles were waiting for work at home.

This game was very anxious, and Westphal's method of resting more main players in the last game worked. The Kings in this game are not as tired as the Eagles' core group last time.He Yixiang's last game time was the highest among all players, but only 32 minutes. Cousins ​​even played only 24 minutes. Although it can't be said that the stamina bar is full, it is still no problem to finish this game.

Even though the Kings and Eagles are fifth in the division, the top four teams in the Eastern Conference can win more than 50 wins, while the top eight teams in the Western Conference are all aiming for 4 wins.The Hawks Wings played their own characteristics at home. Johnson hit 8 three-pointers, 50 points in a single quarter, and scored the second highest 5 points in the game. Smith played a semi-god mode in this game, facing Iguodala Whether it is a jumper or a layup after a high-speed breakthrough, or only 15% of the three-pointers this season, it seems so simple. He scored 28 points with a super high efficiency of 33 of 24 shots. Arguably the best games of the season.

However, the perfect performance of the two was completely overshadowed by the entire Kings. The Kings team had 7 players in double figures, and He Yixiang, Cousins, and Iguodala scored 20 points, eclipsing the perfect performance of the Eagles' dual-core.But even though the team lost the game 106:113, the Eagles fans still stood up and applauded the two tonight.

In the post-match interview, Westphal also seemed very excited: "This is a victory for the whole team. As you can see, each of us can score and everyone can pass. , I believe all Kings players can feel that this Kings team played very selflessly and as a team under the leadership of He."

And He Yixiang, who scored 22 points and sent 11 assists, also expressed his satisfaction with the team's victory in this game. In his mind, the more teammates get points, the better. He is a playmarker. The better he is, the happier he is.

But two days later, they suffered their first defeat in Orlando on the Eastern Conference road trip. Cousins ​​​​faced Howard, who was stronger than his upper body, and was completely blown by Howard on the rebound. The Magic also made a three-pointer. It was a great game, with 27 of 13 three-pointers in the game. The Kings finally tasted the helplessness of other teams in the face of them. Leaning to the other side, the Kings passively tried the taste of clocking out of work in three quarters.At the end of the third quarter, the Magic also led by 86 points at 63:23.

Although Cousins ​​has been abused by other insiders in the previous games, Gasol and Duncan have all been Cousins' teachers and taught him lessons, but they taught him how to be a man in terms of strength. Yes, World of Warcraft is still the first one. After the game, Cousins ​​seemed a little frustrated. In his mind, although his own strength is not invincible, he should not be forced to dunk after being pushed away by the opponent several times.In the past, I felt that even if I didn’t want to be in the discussion of the number one point guard like He Yixiang, at least it was close to the number one level. However, I was defeated by such a game, which made me realize that I was still far from the number one center.

One win and one loss in the first two of the four games, but this record did not disappoint the fans too much. It would have been satisfying to win the Eagles. As for the other three strong teams, it can only be left to chance.Especially the Celtics and Heat behind, these two are basically strong contenders for the championship.
