Chapter 95
Kings overtake again!
On the Timberwolves side, Love made a low-post attack again, and the Kings suddenly attacked!
Love makes a rush pass and makes a mistake...

The Kings strike back!
Xie Kai went down the frontcourt quickly, received a long pass from Bobby Jackson, changed direction at high speed and passed McCants who came to steal the ball, went directly to the basket, and flew for a dunk!

Thanks for the 4th point in the first quarter!
"Beautiful dunk! Sacramento hit an orgasm!" Groom Albert shouted excitedly.

The cheers of the fans at the scene became higher and higher, and the decibel level of the sound in the arena reached the highest peak tonight!

The Kings lead by 3 point!
Although Kenny Knight, the new Kings coach on the sidelines, had a calm expression on his face, he was already very excited in his heart.He knows the strength of this team, even if it is difficult to enter the playoffs with any famous coach, but if he can lead the team to victory in the first game after the predecessor Reggie Tois is out of class, then it will be a great guarantee for himself in the future. The road to coaching in the team is smoother.

The Timberwolves didn't have a timeout, and coach Kevin McHale didn't want to use up too many timeouts in the first quarter. The team trailed by 3 points, and the situation wasn't too bad to be out of control.

The game goes on!

Ollie slowly dribbles over and organizes an attack at the top of the arc.He is an old defender, and he knows that the opponent is already on the rise at this time, and if he follows the opponent's rhythm to attack, it will not be good for himself.So, what we need to do now is to slow down the tempo, make mistakes in the control, and increase the success rate.

"Kevin's approach is right. Now the rhythm of the game is in Sacramento's hands. Anxiety will only make the team more passive!" Mark Jackson said.

Groom Albert nodded in agreement: "This is the experience of veterans playing. Every team needs experienced veterans to sit in charge, so that they will not appear flustered under unfavorable circumstances."

On the Timberwolves side, McCants held the ball to eat Bobby Brown alone, changed direction and cut to the basket, and the layup on the railing was interfered by Jason Thompson, who was in place to help defend - missed!

Xie Kai stuck Love firmly and flew to receive the backcourt rebound.

Kings attack!Bobby Jackson scored Bobby Brown in the frontcourt. With the help of Jason Thompson's screen, the latter rushed to the basket and then Bobby Jackson outside.

Bobby Jackson thanks again from the bottom corner!

"No one defends!" A female fan in the back row of stands at the bottom corner screamed.

Xie Kai catches the ball, adjusts it a little, and shoots steadily—a hit!
Thank you for the 7th point!
The Kings extended their lead to 6 points!
The Timberwolves finally suspended it!Coach Kevin McHale also had to make such a decision, because the scene was completely out of control, the opponent controlled the offensive and defensive rhythm on the field, and the players' confidence would be lost if the game continued.

The decibel value on the scene reached a new high. Xie Kai excitedly clapped and bumped his chest with Bobby Jackson and others. The mental state of the players was very good.

"The players in Sacramento have been holding back for too long, and they just ran into the unlucky Minnesota!" Mav Albert said with a smile.

"What I want to say is that Kane, a rookie, has held back for too long. Since Kevin came back, his playing time has been ruthlessly compressed. Reggie cut his playing time a lot in order to test the lineup. In this game, he It exploded, at least in the first quarter!" Mark Jackson said.

The Timberwolves came back from a timeout, and their state has recovered, but the momentum of the Kings was not too affected by the timeout.For the rest of the first quarter, the home team still had the advantage.

At the end of the first quarter, the Kings led their opponents by 33 points at 24:9!
From being behind by 5 points to leading by 9 points, the Kings completely seemed to have changed a team after Xie Kai and other substitute players came on the field.And Xie Kai's win/loss score also reached +14.

谢开首节3投3中,其中3分球1投1中,罚球2罚全中,得到9分2篮板3助攻1抢断1盖帽,表现极其出色。

Section 2 started soon.

Kevin Ollie slowly dribbled the ball and gave it to McCants who cut out.

McCants broke through with the ball and gave it to Love in the high position.

Love made a high shot, but was affected by Xie Kai's help defense, and the shot went wide!

Jason Thompson grabbed the backcourt rebound and gave it to Bobby Jackson.

On the Kings side, Bobby Brown didn't have an emergency stop jumper, and Love received a backcourt rebound!

The Timberwolves attacked, Cardinal missed a 3-pointer, Love grabbed an offensive rebound, and 2 offenses caused a foul by Mitch Moore!

Love goes to the free throw line.

"Kevin's athletic ability is insufficient, and his height and wingspan are also average. This rebound is really the top among this year's rookies!" Mav Albert said.

"Kevin's strength is good, he has a good sense of positioning, he has a keen sense of smell in basketball, and his hands are good. This is also a talent!" Mark Jackson said with a smile.

Love walked to the free throw line and made a free throw!
But he missed the second free throw!
Mitch Moore grabs the rebound!
The Kings attacked here, Xie Kai moved without the ball, and received a pass from Bobby Brown near the baseline.

Xie Kai changed direction and went inside, and after a strong break, he scored Moore near the basket.

Moore forced a layup and caused Cardinal's foul!

"Kane's offensive thinking is very clear, that is, trying to hit the ball to the inside, he probably also saw that Minnesota's inside is weak!" Mav Albert said.

Mark Jackson said with a smile: "There probably isn't an inside line like Minnesota who has neither height nor athletic ability in the entire league. It's strange that others don't come to attack such an inside line defense!"

Moore also made two free throws, and the two teams still had a 9-point difference.

For the Kings, Xie Kai used a cover to catch the ball on the left side of the free throw line, facing Cardinal's defense, broke through with his right hand, and suddenly threw a pass——Jason Thompson understood, leaped high, and shot at Love's head. Come up for another alley-oop!
Love was under the basket and barely raised his hand.

"Bang——" the basket was vibrated violently, which shows how powerful this dunk is.

The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene was ignited again, and the screams made people's blood boil.

The Kings opened the point difference to double digits.

Timberwolves suspended again!Coach Kevin McHale stared wide-eyed, not knowing what to say to his players.As one of the NBA's 50 superstars, he was born inside. Of course, he knows that the team's inside defense has natural shortcomings.This shortcoming is not only in hardware, but also in defensive skills, awareness and even attitude. This is not something that he, the head coach who has just taken office, can solve in a short time.

"Minnesota's interior defense is really problematic. Kevin encountered two 6-foot-11 interiors under the basket, which is too bad!" Marv Albert said.

"I think Kevin is not only at a disadvantage due to his height, but also has some problems with his defensive attitude. He doesn't even need to foul at the basket. This is not the defensive attitude of a young inside player!" Mark Jackson was a little dissatisfied.
