King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 60 The Powerful Kings
Wall did not affect his mood because he was counter-robbed after this steal. This is the opponent he has been chasing and trying to defeat. Defeating him is the only way to justify himself.

On the next shot, he regained the field from the opponent he identified. Without any pretensions, he lowered his center of gravity and squeezed away He Yixiang's defense, and directly stopped and shot a jump shot near a 45-degree angle in the penalty area. Compared with that horrible three-pointer, Wall The mid-range shot is relatively reliable, and the basketball is also hollow into the net.

"This savage has grown a lot stronger than when he was in college, and his speed is still not slower than before. He is really more angry than him." He Yixiang rubbed his chest that was a little stuffy from being bumped by Wall Breakthrough, "Could it be that Washington's The nutritious meal is much more palatable than ours in Sacramento?" For some reason, He Yixiang suddenly thought of the unpalatable nutritious meal last time, and silently complained about the poor nutritionist of the Kings.

However, compared to the Wizards' lineup, the King's lineup is obviously much stronger. Unlike Wall who has been attacking by himself in the previous rounds, He Yixiang is actively mobilizing his teammates to participate in the offense, especially his good partner Cousins.

After a few passes, the basketball easily came to the hands of Cousins ​​at the basket. It was not McGee who defended Cousins, but the black and tough Blatche. After all, with McGee's body, if he were to defend Cousins If so, then you can see the reappearance of the last time the Lakers ravaged the King's inside line.

However, the Wizards' coaching staff may have underestimated Cousins' agility. The moment he caught the ball, he turned his back and directly squeezed Blatche behind him, and dunked into the frame. This action is very similar to the raging at the beginning of the century The big shark under the basket, tough confrontation and flexible turns, although it may not be as good as it is, but this is Cousins' first season, and Blatche didn't react until the dunk was over.Now the two starting insiders of the Wizards face Cousins, the one who is strong is not as fast as me, and the one who is fast is not as strong as me.Wizards head coach Philip Saunders smiled bitterly and looked helplessly at the inside of the bench, shook his head, forget it!The guys on the bench are not that strong or fast.

Cousins ​​played very well this time. In the first two games against Gasol, Bynum and Duncan, the top insiders in the league, he was suppressed badly enough. Now he has a feeling of going into the mountains and diving into the sea. , ravaged the inside of the Wizards wantonly, and even used all the tricks he learned from Duncan two days ago, and even tried to hit the hook twice. Of course, he only "learned" the hook for two days. , but this is also because the Kings lead a bit too much.Relying on Cousins' invincible posture inside and He Yixiang's tandem, the Kings had already led 28:18 at the end of the first quarter. Among them, Cousins ​​scored 8 points on 6 of 14 shots alone. The Wizards were even.

"I remember that John is still very fond of assists. Why did he have teammates with better opportunities than him several times today, why is he still obsessed with singles. He's defense can't be called a loophole. His stealing ability is very strong, and he is not very Even if he is in the All-Defensive Team this year, I won’t be too surprised!” McHale felt very strange that Wall has been obsessed with He Yixiang in singles.

Miller smiled after hearing this: "Maybe he wanted to beat him head-on, but he didn't play his own style well." In the eyes of the two commentators, Wall has a strong physical talent and good scoring ability, but His real ability to become a top superstar in the league is his organizational ability.

The commentators can see Wall's youthful vigor at a glance. As the head coach of the Wizards, Saunders has naturally seen Wall's problems. He wants to prove himself too much and wants to win He Yixiang too much. As a result, the entire team is now Does not run smoothly. "You played well. Now you've scored 9 points on 4-of-10 shooting against He's defense. It's higher than your average shooting percentage this season, but you should drive your teammates more." Holding the statistical technical table of the first quarter, Sanders just said this to Wall calmly. For the current Wizards, the outcome of the game is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to hone Wall, the No. [-] pick. Of course, it is better to be able to win.Looking at the two cores who are also rookies on the opposite side, one controls the rhythm and the other rules the inside line, I really feel a little envious and jealous in my heart.

Wall was a little ashamed, because at the same time he was still seeing other things in the technical statistics table. He only scored 1 assist, while He Yixiang on the opposite side had already sent 6 assists in the first quarter. He is a point guard. He should be best at passing the ball.Thinking of the last quarter, Nick Young and Hinrich felt sorry for the opponent's help defense and got open space but didn't make a pass several times.

But even though Wall has figured it out, the gap in strength between the two teams cannot be made up by Wall's awakening.Although Cousins, the inside giant, is off, Yi Jianlian and Landry have become active, and He Yixiang and Landry's pick-and-roll tactics have become active again.Landry became the main point of attack in the early part of the second quarter. The precise mid-range shot and quick attack on the frame made Blatche, a black fat man, miserable, especially the occasional defense made He Yixiang forcefully shoot a three-pointer on his face. .Immediately afterwards, the King's internal and external combination and Iguodala's series began to completely destroy the Wizards' defensive system, and Yi Jianlian also became a beneficiary of this system after he replaced Cousins. Today, he is extremely active on the offensive end , Successive empty cuts, he and Landry scored 8 points on 6-of-12 shooting in the early part of the second quarter. At 43:28, the score gap has reached a huge 15 points.

Sanders was forced to call a timeout again. Unexpectedly, the Kings, who were brothers and sisters with him last year, have become so strong this year. With the assist of Paul, he made two three-pointers. Although McGee made two consecutive air cuts, even though his team has played so well, the score gap is still widening.

"The Wizards have been playing very well for a while. Before the second quarter, their shooting percentage was as high as 60%, but there is still no way to deal with the King's offense!" McHale looked at the slightly defeated Wizards, As if feeling their helplessness.

Miller was also a little surprised by the King's strong offensive power. He hasn't commented on the King's game recently. He didn't expect this young team to be so strong: "This year's Western Conference is interesting. The Kings may not make it to the playoffs." However, he will definitely be a qualified spoiler, and now with this combat power, he can take a bite out of anyone he encounters."
