Chương 94: Error 94
Nikola Jokic is strong, and everyone already knows that. With 40 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, we must salute his work, but how can we resist a team with three players with more than 30 points? Already losing by only one point is a feat in these conditions. It's not like the Nuggets have been wrong. On the contrary, even without Murray, who did not play back-to-back, the machine around Jokic is still well-oiled.
But with Hector always with an insolent success rate on goal on the pitch, Malik Monk creating spaces, and Fox sneaking under the spaces left by Hector and Monk, we can say that it was undoubtedly the best context to fuel. It's not that both defenses were absent, but that the teams were too effective tonight.
Hector Herrera had 31 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. Mr. Big Data. 12/14 on goal on the court, he is slowly turning into a unique weapon in NBA history.
Malik Monk had 33 points and composure in the final seconds.
De'Aaron Fox has 31 points and 13 assists. 4th Quarter Fox has been activated.
« Sacramento played really well, » Jokic said. "It was not just one guy. We couldn't stop a couple of them."
The Nuggets coach summed up the game, "Obviously, tonight wasn't a great night for our defense," and concluded, "That's why we lost. You can't rely on offense against a young, hungry teaù that got beat last night."
Hungry. This is the keyword that connects the whole team. Everyone is hungry, but everyone has the same goal. Coach Ewing is hungry, De'Aaron is hungry, and Hector is hungry. On the return from the locker room, Hector often receives the DPOG, the DOG Channel. Since its implementation, there have been a few matches that he has not won.
The next match will also be won by only one point against a troublesome opponent. If the Sacramento Kings are among the black horses this season, the ultimate black horse of this early season is the Jazz. The Utah Jazz destroyed the Mitchell-Gobert team and started with something new.
It was assumed that the initial goal before the start of the season was to tank to have Wembanyama like several other teams. The reality is different. Lauri Markkanen has made great strides in the continuity of his excellent EuroBasket this summer. He will likely be an All-Star this season and a potential MIP at the end of the season.
We predicted the worst for Utah, but under his shoulders, they outperformed. They have the same number of wins as Sacramento, and unfortunately, this 125-126 loss to the Kings brings the record to balance. 19 wins and 19 losses. But the Kings have played four fewer games than the Jazz, so Sacramento is still ahead in the Western Conference standings.
This time, it was Kevin Huerter who caught fire with 30 points. Hector came close to the perfect game, but he missed a free throw which is rare enough to be highlighted, and Fox, with his cuts to basketball, is a headache for every opponent. Jazz is no exception.
Both finished in double-doubles with 35 points and 10 assists for Fox and 28 points and 11 rebounds for Hector. The job is filled with the satisfaction of having Huerter score his career record.
Markannen scored 36 points for Utah. Jordan Clarkson scored 25 points and 9 assists, and Mike Conley scored 17.
Hector is not very talkative in front of the media, but he had to admit: "It's a matchup nightmare," the Mexican said about Markkenen. "He shoots the ball incredibly all season... It isn't easy to guard. You can't take away one thing. »
Unfortunately, over the next four games, the Kings would lose three. It's January 8, 2023, and the Kings lost to the Lakers. But no one was prepared for the beam that would light up Sacramento's sleepless nights without playoffs.
