Chương 149: Error 149

At the beginning of the second quarter, Hector is absent on the court, but both teams would like to be able to count on reliable efficiency from afar, but both lack success in their respective first attempts.

But it is Fox who recovers a rebound and does not wait for anyone before driving and drawing a crowd. He only managed one free throw on the two obtained—Jonathan Issac dunk after stealing the ball at Green. Mannion is the only Warrior with 3-point success and another on an assist from Draymond.

Malik Monk is in the place and makes a 3-point catch-and-shoot with Fox's assist. After a layup from Green and then Mannion, Ewing knew it was time for Hector to return to the game. The Kings always run with two free throws from Monk.

After a minute of missed shots by both teams, Keegan Murray stood up. He draws a Curry shoot after a successful pullup using the rim. He made his free throw. If Hector is the most reliable shooter, Murray is in the top 3 of the team with Vezenkov.

In the Kings' "Big Three," he is the one who is dominant off-ball but he has developed the playmaking and shoot-creation ability that make him more than just a three and D. A Larry Bird version of the poor man or Kawhi with a defense less abuse but a better shoot. He is 40% from the 3-point range in his career. The threat is too significant.

Thompson scored two points, while Keegan had an assist for Fox from 3-point range. Abraham Cook performs a step back. The Warriors restarted a rebuilding by anticipating the retirement of the "Big Three" and Podzielski, and then Cook got game time by standing out from the masses.

Cook replaced Wiggins and fulfilled his role with an average of about 15 points. A very bright future is ahead of him if he progresses in defense. But it was too early to stop the Kings alone, and Murray drew a crowd and made his free throws.

Cook and then Fox made their free throws. On the field, Kevon Looney and Colby Jones express themselves by scoring points for their teams.

Klay hit a 3-pointer in catch-and-shoot, and Murray responded with a poster dunk on Looney. Looney made an alley-oop with a pass from Thompson. The quarter was about to end, and Keegan Murray threw a bomb from his side, and the shot was successful.

Santa Claus came before halftime in Sacramento, and Keegan sent a gift to the Warriors before returning to the locker room to cheers from the Golden 1 Center. The Kings lead 46-56.

Hector makes a discrete game, but it depends on the definition of discrete. Yes, he does not score much, but he dominates the Warriors on the rebound. After a missed shot by Murray, he struggled, grabbed the offensive rebound, and then returned the ball to Murray for a 3-pointer.

Cook and then Fox both make mid-range shots. The teams missed two 3-pointers, and Jones will have the last word with the assist of Fox. Curry scored 3 points with a shot and a foul.

Hector grabs an offensive rebound and putback dunk without question. Green then makes a layup. Still in the right shots, Fox scored two shots in a row and then blocked a layup from Green. Today is his day.

Keegan Murray grabbed an offensive rebound and then made a layup. Stephen Curry clumsy remains Stephen Curry, and a 3-pointer will come sooner or later. Now, he finally performs one, but his hands are still cold from afar. He grabs an offensive rebound and then makes a floater seeing Hector trying to interpose.

Hector receives an alley opp from Fox, and a match from Hector without a steal is not a match from Hector. He succeeds a steal by intercepting a bad pass from Mannion. He drew a Looney foul and converted his two free throws.

The clock moves forward De'Aaron and Malik Monk take care of the rest. At the end of the third quarter, the scoreboard was 77-91 for Sacramento. Despite some bursts of pride, the game was one-sided, and the Kings won 101-122 with a nine-tailed Fox.

30 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists for De'Aaron tonight. And Hector's double-double with 20 points, 20 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. Not to mention Keegan Murray's 23 points on 4/5 at 3PT. The Kings' "Big Three" was there.

The Warriors, despite Curry leading the scorer tonight with 32 points but a 4/14 at 3PT and Mannion off the bench with 16 points, no one has surpassed the 10-point mark. Impossible to beat the NBA leader in his conditions.

Even against the last one, winning with such a performance is impossible.
