Sacramento, Arco Arena!

After passing through the players' tunnel, the Nets were blown away by the frenetic atmosphere at the Kings' home court. Furious music, sparkling lights, shouts from live DJs, hoarse cheers from fans.

In addition, there are wild and unrestrained beautiful cheerleaders, and the mascot Simon Lion performs antics and everything says about the popularity of the Kings.

Ji Liang took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and focused his attention on the court, avoiding being affected by the frenetic atmosphere.

In his eyes, there were only teammates, opponents, and basketball, and nothing else, and for a while the noise seemed to disappear without a trace.

The reason why the Kings have such a grand occasion is due to the gorgeous and smooth offense of the Kings and the mercury-like cooperation, in the current league, no one can compare to the Kings in terms of gorgeousness.

Prior to last season, the Kings were perennially the underdogs in the league. But after getting Webb, the Kings brought in small forward Pejakovic, center Vladdy Divac and point guard Jason Williams to reach the playoffs with the sixth place in the West, but unfortunately stopped in the first round.

After last season's run-in, this season's Kings team is strong, and the opening game is extremely coquettish, with a 7-1 record in the first eight games.

When the Nets players came out to the show, the Arco Arena began to burst into cheers, and the Kings began to appear one after another, first with center Vlad Divac, then with point guard Jason Williams, and small forward Peja Stojakovic...... Finally, of course, there was the team's boss, Chris Webber, and when Webber came out, the atmosphere at Arco Arena was at its peak, and the cheers of the fans gave the impression that the roof of the arena was about to be lifted.

Chris Webb, the soul of the Kings, is also one of the famous "Michigan Five" in the past. As the team's main attacker, his offense is extraordinarily flashy, and his assist awareness is no worse than the team's guards, and he has repeatedly made the Kings play pleasing basketball.

After entering the league, Webb's influence on the NBA was like that of "Penny" Hardaway, and he and Hardaway's formidable aura shook the league. Relying on the perfect combination of technique, speed, explosiveness and field vision, he is also the representative of an all-round striker. Whether it is physical fitness or basketball IQ, he is extremely talented, and his playing action is very entertaining.

Chris Webber before the injury was brilliant, and even Duncan and Garnett couldn't hide his brilliance. He has accurate shots, excellent explosiveness, wide range of attacks, strong rebounding ability, and excellent playmaking and passing ability.

Vlad Divac is a white big center in his prime, with a height of 2.16, an arm span of 2.24, and an all-around technical average, and he had 14.3 points, 10 rebounds and 4.3 assists last season.

The most 'talked-about' topic for Divac in the future is undoubtedly that the Lakers traded him for Kobe. Of course, judging from the current era, Kobe Bryant has not fully grown, and this deal does not seem to be a loss, especially now in an era when high-quality interior lines are scarce.

Peja Stojakovic, who is also a member of the 96 Golden Generation, is not yet a three-point champion, but his height of 2.08 gives him an unparalleled height advantage against any team's small forward, and he has a bit of Durant's demeanor in the future.

Jason Williams, nicknamed "White Chocolate", is the same player as Chi Liang, who won the NBA All-Rookie Team in 1999 and averaged 12.8 points and 6 assists per game in his rookie season.

Head coach Adelman, whose coaching philosophy complements the technical characteristics of his players. In addition, Pete Carell, the founder of the Princeton system, has been sowing this tactical idea on this team for more than a year as an assistant coach.

In Sacramento, Adelman led the Kings with Webb and Williams to become the league's most offensive team, and it took just one season for them to average 7.1 points per game and the Kings to 100.2 points per game.

There are not many famous tactics in the NBA, there are roughly four, namely Jackson's triangle offense, Sloan's blocking and pick-and-roll tactics, Adelman's Princeton system, and finally D'Antoni and Nelson Sr.'s small-ball tactics.

Before the game began, the home DJ began to play up the atmosphere vigorously: "On our home court, our starting five are going to kick the Nets in the ass. As for the opponent's No. 1 player, he will definitely be blown up by our Chris! ”

Under the rendering of the DJ, the fans at the scene launched an enthusiastic response, and the cheers, boos and curses were filled with it, which set off a rather terrifying atmosphere.

For Chi Liang and others, the terrifying atmosphere of the Kings has little impact on him, but O'Neal Jr. and Margety have a great impact. Although the former debuted for three years, he played soy sauce for three seasons and didn't play much playing time at all, but he was always better than Margeti.

As for Margeti, although his performance is relatively old, he is still a rookie after all, and he has obviously been affected, just look at his nervous expression.

Nets: O'Neal Jr., Ji Liang, Newman, Kidders, Billups!

Kings: Scott Pollard, Webb, Collis Williams, Nick Anderson, Jason Williams!

Divac was on the bench, having just recovered from his injuries and was not fit to play immediately; As for Peja, he is not on the bench yet and is still the main bench for the Kings for the time being.

The game begins.

In the jump ball stage, even if O'Neal Jr. was not in shape, he still beat Pollard to win the jump ball, and Billups controlled the ball through the half.

For the first time, Chi Liang began to take a position on the inside, he was about the same height and weight as Weber, but he obviously felt that Weber's strength was still some different from him, which also made Chi Liang firmly block him behind.

As usual, Billups passed the ball to Ji Liang, and then he and his teammates began to pull away, giving him plenty of space to play alone, which is also the practice of many teams, and the first ball is given to the boss.

At the moment of receiving the ball, Chi Liang leaned in, even though Weber was prepared, he was still squeezed back a step.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ji Liang took advantage of Sikma to complete the turn and gain space to shoot, and easily shot Webb into the basket before he compressed the space.

This kind of offensive method has also become more and more relaxed for Ji Liang, and Sikma steps are deceptively simple, and the effect is excellent for projection players.

After the power amplifier conversion, Chi Liang stared at Webb tightly, and did not relax for a moment, and the two began to grab a dominant position on the inside.

The Kings kept reversing the ball, first by Jason Williams to Webb, and then by Webb to Anderson, who broke through with the ball, and then passed the ball back to Webb, at this time Webb had already entered the three-second zone, leaning sideways against Ji Liang to make a hook.

When Webber hooked his hand, Chi Liang jumped high and tried his best to interfere with his hook hand, Weber has a habit, as long as he enters the penalty area, he rarely passes the ball at this time, and generally ends the attack by himself.

When Webb entered the restricted area, Chi Liang was prepared in advance, so when he hooked his hand, he immediately jumped up.
