Hector made a legendary performance on paper. He was a five by 5 in Summer League, especially at 18 when he did not even play a minute in an official match. But this is the first time anyone knows that Hector will trivialize these stats in the coming decade. Two records will never be broken.
But Hector is not happy; he finished the match with 14pts 9rbs 7ast 5stl 5blk but 6-17FG, 0-4FT, 5FT, and 3TO. He has tried too many steals and blocks he is not satisfied with his overall record. But Reegan encouraged him contrary to what he thought.
"Listen, I know you want to win, and I admire that, but don't make a forced choice that penalized you today. I have to say that you have real defensive potential; work to erase your mistakes. Learns from your mistakes. Who knows, there is a way for you to become good at it. ».
Hector only learned his record when he left the court when the NBA TV reporter asked him in an interview.
"Hector, did you know you are the first player to do a five by 5 in the Summer League?"
"Oh? Honestly, I didn't even know I did a five by 5. On the contrary, I feel like I've pushed too hard. »
The journalist was surprised by this answer but could not have known she was talking to a 40-year-old man. She agreed to an authoritative response, but the maturity displayed by Hector made a good impression on this journalist.
Hector quickly returned to the locker room after the interview.
