Chapter 155: Error 155
This season's outstanding results have allowed Hector and the rest of his teammates to be in unison toward a common goal. Hector continued to improve on the training ground. His diligence infected many teammates.
The rookies are all sent to Hector to take an example, but it is the torture chamber for the most part. Freddie Dillone is often in this torture chamber, but Keegan Murray challenges Hector the most.
"One more set!" Murray wiped the sweat on his forehead and was ready to attack. There is a legend on the team. If you can pass Hector, you pass the whole league. Keegan is a shooter, but he has made colossal progress offensively and defensively since his draft. The two face each other and pass the ball alternately.
In matches, the combination is simple but works. The work was rewarded, and according to Hector, Keegan Murray could have been an All-Star if he had been a franchise player. It's a league-wide consensus, and the Kings have unanswered many trade requests.
He averages 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists. But it also has 1 steal and 1 block per game. Defensively, he's the elite in the NBA and the primary stopper on the wing.
While Hector is a hybrid defender with the atypical aspect that makes him unique in history, both are the iron guard and the net of this defense.
And on offense, Keegan is primarily an off-ball player but can keep the ball. That's why he has no conflict with Hector or De'Aaron Fox, who can afford to keep the ball in offense.
The shooting quality of Keegan Murray is not far from that of Hector, who has the support of the system, which is prodigious. Probably one of the best snipers in the league has his position with more than 40% of 3PT since his rookie season.
Seeing Hector running in front of him, Keegan can't help but want to hit this Mexican. He misses more shots than he scores, but he is no longer tortured to death by this hateful guy on a basketball court as an opponent.
But as teammates, it's a relief not to defend him.
"Murray and Herrera are dissecting the Blazers' defense. It's always the same thing, handoff dribbling. The connection between the two is to learn in all textbooks, so they are complementary. »
The ESPN commentator can only admire Portland's defense and see the damage. Simple, unpretentious, and effective. It is said that the team's best player is represented in the team's style of play. No one knows if that's the case, but it's a reality for the Kings.
This shot is just one example of what happens when you face the Kings. Observers and true basketball connoisseurs appreciate the simplicity of this team. A little fewer fans were looking for excitement. It's obvious, Portland is not causing any threats with such ruthless Kings.
84-127, for Sacramento after returning from Mexico City and still having their unbeaten record at the Golden 1 Center.
Keegan Murray, or M13, scored 44 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Hector and De'Aaron Fox finished in triple-doubles. 24 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists for Fox and 15 points, 18 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals, and 5 blocks for Hector.
Impossible to face the Kings in this state. With Keegan Murray's insolence and Fox's smartness, even with Hector's energy saving, he dominates in defense.
The Kings still sit atop the NBA with only four losses. The number of wins is not necessary. Without the Kings, with a record too scary this season, the Thunder could perhaps climb to the top spot.
Despite this lead, in the very competitive Western Conference, Hector can not relax. The Kings have to fight for the home-field advantage. After spoiling it against the Warriors, Hector experienced the pain of not having it against the Nuggets and Mavericks.
Keep winning, keep consolidating first place. The next day back-to-back, Kessler's injury left the Jazz unable to find a way to restrict Hector. A player of this caliber without restriction is a sign that a cull will take place.
Rookie center Stewart gave Hector the feeling of training. He was destroyed and then released on injury. 37 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 5 blocks.
The result of this game has no suspense from the beginning. And in just 28 minutes of slaughter, Ewing took out the starters who didn't play in the fourth quarter. The score doesn't care.
