Chapter 188: A Great Victory over the King

November 3rd.

The 76ers host Western Conference side Kings.

The Sacramento Kings are like a mother-in-law team, starting the season with a variety of away games, starting in Minnesota and working their way east.

Before playing against the 76ers, they had played three road games against the Timberwolves, Heat and Magic.

Unfortunately, the Kings lost three in a row.

When the players have just come back from a long offseason, everyone is in average shape, and in this situation, a long road game is not a good thing for the entire Kings team.

The player's form declined, and in the last game against the Magic, 103-121, the Magic lost by 18 points.

"After playing the 76ers, it is our last away game, don't look at the 76ers are the defending champions, but now, their 76ers record is not much better than ours, we beat them and won the first win of the season!"

Kings head coach Rejay Seus gave a loud boost to the team's morale before the game, and the 0-3 Kings met the 1-3 76ers.

The Kings made a trade in the offseason, and the Kings have set a tone this season with switching offense as an important tactical weight, thanks to the success of the Run-and-Gun tactics of the Suns and 76ers.

Among them, Kevin Martin and John Salmons, two wing scorers, will be relied on by the Kings.

The king will easily adjust the layout tomorrow, Saflosa will defend Salmons, Iguodala will defend Kevin Martin, and the 76ers will have two big outside gates, which are just right against the king's strong point.

Soon, the starters of both sides appeared.

76ers starters: Iverson, Saflosa, Iguodala, Paul Millsap and Pau Gasol.

Kings starters: Udri, Kevin Martin, John Salmons, Mickey More, Spencer Hawes.

The 76ers' starting lineup changes surprised everyone, and before that, Hellam Porter was a thunderous starter and even helped the 76ers win the NBA championship.

Before the game, the camera swept over the 76ers' bench, intentionally or unintentionally, and Durham Porter sat on the bench with a sinking face.

Wang Tomorrow is also very serious, the interior combination of the double Paul is one of the tactical combinations of the 76ers, although Paul Millsap is a substitute, but in the playoffs last season, he did not play a lot of time, he swings in the third or fourth position, he can partner with Gasol on the inside, can partner with Durham Porter, or partner with Iguodala, Iverson and others, a bit like a panacea, Lamar Odom of the Lakers.

But Paul Millsap has a much tougher style than Odom, and the level of effort and speed of progress are not comparable to Odom.

Dalem Potter looked at Wang Mingming's back, and his eyes were complicated.

He knew he didn't play well, but he didn't expect the coach to cut him so quickly, to be honest, his role on the court is to grab rebounds and protect the frame, these two things, he really hasn't found his form in the first three games, but he believes that he will definitely adjust in the next games.

Why is the coach so unconfident in himself?

Thinking of this, Dareham Potter suddenly became a little depressed, and he was also a little resentful about Wang Mingming's arrangement.

At this point, the field has already kicked off.

Gasol won the tee off with a long arm jump, and Iguodala held the ball through the half.

Iverson moved up from the elbow area to receive the ball, took the basketball with both hands and put the ball on his waist, Benno Udri defended Iverson, and he also made a difficult decision to stick it on.

In the midst of his hesitation, Iverson activated.

Break through with the ball in your right hand, step out with your right foot, and take a lightning step.

Yudri reacted quickly and moved sideways with his right foot to block.

But at that moment, Iverson pulled the ball back, the basketball bounced off his crotch, and was exchanged to his left hand, and the whole person went from a sudden start to an emergency stop, and the feeling of disobedience made the defending Yudri a little dizzy.

Yudri's center of gravity is difficult to adjust, Iverson folds his right hand, and after opening up the space for this step, it is already obvious that he is about to shoot!

Udri immediately felt anxious and jumped up to interfere with Iverson's shot.

But when he jumped up, he saw Iverson's wrong step, his left hand holding the ball was lowered down, and his figure started to accelerate again, and his eyes glanced at Udri slightly, as if with a hint of banter.

"Fake cast is really sudden!"

"Worship the Buddha!"

Iverson is still so dashing, shaking off Udri one-on-one and moving two steps inward, and then jumping unhurriedly with a good sense of rhythm.

Hollow into the net!

The moment the goal was scored, the scene cheered, and fans who like Iverson, even if they are used to seeing Iverson's dashing pass, still feel that they never get tired of watching it.

The Kings attacked, and the frontcourt was met by a two-man defensive formation of Iguodala and Saflosa.

Kevin Martin, as the Kings' current main point of attack, started to run.

Martin's way of running is unique, with all sorts of side-to-side back-to-side runs, and then coming out to get basketballs in Hawes's up-and-out screen.

The ball was passed slowly, and there was no choice for the advance amount.

Martin received the ball, but Iguodala followed, his long arms outstretched, defending Martin like a spider.

Martin grabbed the ball and raised his hand to shake it, but Iguodala was unmoved.

He tried to break through with the ball, but Iguodala, who had experienced the finals, was the top in the league in defense, and it was not so easy to break through at all.

Somewhat reluctantly, the basketball is off the frame.

Under the basket, Gasolka was in the main position, and Millsap, who started the game, was particularly excited, jumping high to protect the rebound in the backcourt.

Rejay Seus broke out in a cold sweat, the 76ers' offense and defense seem to be a notch higher than the Kings, and the Kings are not in absolute form, one offense and one defense, obviously inferior to the 76ers.

The lineup of the key kings was restrained.

In addition to the two points on the outside, the Kings happened to meet the 76ers' outside defense points, and Hawes on the inside was not as good as Gasol.

Hawes, the 10th pick in the first round last year, is good at handling the ball, can pass the ball, has a one-handed outside shot, and has decent rebounding.

Gasol is similar to Hawes, he can also control and pass, shoot, defend, and rebound.

The difference is that Gasol is a little stronger than Hawes, so even if Hawes is as high as 2.16 meters, he is still faintly inferior in front of Gasol.

Strangling the outside offensive point, the Kings were out of action, and the game quickly became one-sided.

In the first quarter, the 76ers won the Kings by 10 points, 35-25.

In each quarter after that, the 76ers took the lead, and the game ended, the 76ers defeated the incoming Kings by a huge 34-point margin of 125-91.

A hearty victory temporarily gags everyone's mouths.

Allen Iverson, who scored a season high of 33 points, said that the 76ers are still the same 76ers team, and we still have the strength to compete for the championship this season.
