King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 148 Fighting the Wizards Again
After winning the Suns, the king finally stopped the decline, and the next opponents are not as strong as the Spurs and Magic that he faced before. , Their confidence has also returned.Cousins ​​also proved that he can lead the team to victory.

Two days later against the Wizards, this time Wall tried his best to get revenge. After the All-Star Game, he averaged 18.6 points and 8.8 assists. Transferred the flame of his revenge from the individual to the team.

The rookie who received the most attention this year is undoubtedly He Yixiang, the No. 09 show, the All-Star starter, second in the assist list, the youngest triple-double player, the best player of the month, and won the record-breaking three-point contest. If it weren't for the Star Challenge MVP, this is not playing like a rookie at all, more like a veteran star player.Then there is the No. 22 pick in 12, and the "repeater" Griffin is the second player to receive attention. This season, he scored [-]+[-] per game. The last guy who got this kind of data in his rookie season It's still O'Neal, and even Duncan, who made the Spurs wait for a year, has not reached this level.

As the No. 41 pick of this season, he has basically lost the best rookie, and the degree of attention is obviously not as good as the first two. Now even Cousins ​​has a tendency to overtake him, with 28 points in one game, 21 points and 18.4 points in one game. Rebounding instantly increased his attention. In the past, He Yixiang was always on the king's table. Only now did the media discover that there was a star-level player in the king's interior. In fact, if it weren't for the statistics of He Yixiang and Griffin Too dazzling, Cousins ​​averaged 10.6 points and [-] rebounds per game this season, which is a more luxurious data than Wall.

At the beginning of the game, the top rookies of the two teams played very aggressively. Wall's strength and speed are definitely among the best in today's NBA. It is estimated that the only one who can compare with him is the Thunder's Westbrook, but These two defenders with explosive physical talents have one thing in common. The basket is very ordinary. This is the biggest gap between them and He Yixiang. They cannot make the most of the space. Awkward.

The Kings can clearly see this point. They use Iguodala to mark Wall. Iguodala is not weaker than him. De and Cousins' ability to protect the frame is very good. Iguodala directly gave way to the first ball to allow Wall to rush in without pressure. Just when Wall was excited, Whiteside covered the sky. Today's big hat was presented, and the talent of this height and wingspan makes it impossible to imagine that he would fall into the second round. There is no doubt that the Kings have found a treasure.

After receiving the block, Udrih quickly made a quick pass from the right side. After passing the midfield, he made a long pass across the half court. The basketball flew directly into the hands of Iguodala, who had already rushed from the left side. Naturally, Lara will not disappoint the fans at home. A beautiful dunk made the fans of the Kings who were depressed because of the failure at home recently excited. The atmosphere at home seems to have returned to the time when the Kings had the best record.

Seeing his younger brother Whiteside play his dominance on the defensive end, Cousins ​​naturally did not dare to show weakness. Facing McGee's defense, Cousins ​​received the ball in the low post and singled McGee. Turning around, the thin McGee was directly squeezed out of the baseline from the three-second zone. Cousins ​​faced the unguarded basket with a brutal dunk. Such a dominant offensive power, but it is obvious that facing McGee, he is as dominant as a big shark.

The Wizards are the No.13 team in the Eastern Conference. Even if the Kings lack He Yixiang, they are not opponents, let alone Cousins, who is even more awakened.And Cousins ​​played very calmly. After encountering a double-team, he also played the ball very quickly. The King's outside line group also began to go crazy. Casspi and Udry hit three-pointers one after another. These three-pointers are like knives. One after another was drawn on the Wizards, causing the Wizards to bleed profusely.

Of course, it’s not that the Wizards didn’t think about resisting, but Wall was completely unable to exert his original breakthrough strength under the help of Iguodala and the double-high inside line. Blocking the shot, seeing Wall being crazily suppressed, the fans in the entire Arco Arena will naturally not let him go, booing everywhere, putting tremendous psychological pressure on the No. [-] pick.

The Wizards this time are still the same as the last time they played against the Kings. The best performance of their team is that convulsive Nick Young. He made unreasonable three-pointers to keep the Wizards alive. Defensive players are most afraid of encountering this kind of convulsive shooter, because he will not reason with you at all. As long as he has the right rhythm, it will not help even if you seal your hand to your face. Seeing Nick Young directly Facing his fourth three-pointer, Casspi shook his head with a wry smile. He really had nothing to do with him.

At the end of halftime, although the Wizards had a good performance by Nick Young, after all, it was only his strength to fight alone. The gap between the team as a whole and the Kings was still too large, and their real tactical core, Wall, was directly watched. Yes, Iguodala didn't attack much in this game, so he just stared at Wall. Angrily, Wall threw the towel at the end of the game. This is extremely unsettling for the No. 7 pick, 3 points 3 assists and 12 turnovers, this is the data he handed over in the first half, and Cousins, who was originally looked down upon by him, has scored 6 points and 1 rebounds, and even has 52 more assists than his point guard. It's just embarrassing.The Kings also led the Wizards with a big score of 39:[-] under the leadership of Cousins.

After Cousins ​​left the court, all the Kings fans stood up and cheered. Everyone was very grateful that he was still so strong when He Yixiang fell down. Rest, but on the Wizards' bench, Wall is clenching his fists, watching the cheering Kings fans, this game is not over yet.

Cousins ​​didn't see this scene, but He Yixiang, who knew this opponent very well, did.But he didn't say anything. If Wall can break out in the second half, then Cousins ​​will be a real challenge.
