Chapter 340
On the May 2002th Youth Day in 5, on May 4th, the Sacramento Kings played at home. In the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, the Kings ushered in a door-to-door challenge from the Golden State Warriors.

"Sacramento is located in central California, with a small population and a small city, but here is the Kings, a team from the Big Four, so the Kings are the only masters in Sacramento, without any competitors."

"The last time the Kings won the NBA championship can be traced back to the 50s. In 1951, the Kings won the only NBA championship in history. At that time they were called the Rochester Royals."

"There is no suspense in the starting lineup of the Kings today. Center Verati Divac is a legendary center from Serbia in Europe. Although he is ridiculed as a floor center, his role is definitely beyond everyone's expectations."

"The power forward of the Kings is Chris Webber. It has to be said that Webber came to the NBA and brought a strong whirlwind. People finally discovered that a violent power forward can make a team extremely powerful. Last season, Webber was selected to the best team For a while, this fully affirms his strength, you must know that there are only five players in the first team, and only the top five players in the entire NBA can be selected."

"Kings small forward Peja Stojakovic, Peja, who is 2 meters 06 with Webber, has outstanding shooting accuracy. He was selected by the Kings in 1996, but he did not join the NBA team Sacramento Kings until 1998. Soon he was reviving a great team with his pinpoint outside shot."

"Kings shooting guard Doug Christie, with a height of 1 meters, can defend against any forward swingman. The statistics are not conspicuous, but for the Kings, he is definitely an indispensable player."

"The current starting point guard for the Kings is Mike Bibby. Bibby, who came from the Vancouver Grizzlies, is obviously not a typical traditional point guard. He is interested in passing assists. He obviously doesn't have crazy shots and fast breaks. The game is full. You can see him running and shooting jumpers."

"The Golden State Warriors did not show weakness in the away game against the No. [-] king in the regular season. The playoffs are completely head-to-head. It took a lot of hard work and sweat.”

"Golden State Warriors starting center No. 11 Yao Ming is from Shenzhou. What he is most afraid of is a floor center like Divac. A center with super athletic ability is the type that Dayao has more headaches. However, Divac's nba With rich experience, Pengci has been integrated into his blood, and Yao Ming needs to be careful not to fall into his trap."

"Golden State Warriors' starting power forward No. 7 Jermaine O'Neal, he needs to defend against the arrow task of the Kings. King Webber of the Kings has to say that this is a difficult task. The strongest power forward in the NBA, Jr. O'Neal needs to play his own things, not flinching on defense and not afraid of confrontation on offense."

"The Warriors' starting small forward must be No. 1 McGrady. He and No. 33 Grant Hill form a combination of the two strong points of the Golden State Warriors. Blow up every nba team."

"The Warriors' shooting guard is No. 33 Grant Hill. Hill, who has been in the NBA for countless years, has seen many ups and downs, so naturally he will not lose his mentality. He only plays his own ball well now, and he doesn't hear things outside the window. .”

"The Warriors' point guard is No. 4 Chauncey Billups. Playing against a strong offensive team like the Kings, you must never give your opponent any chance. Every position has to be fought over and over again. Billups not only has to defend and finish than, but also have to sort out the Warriors' own offense."

"Kick-off Warriors center Yao Ming and Kings center Divac competed for the ball. Divac, who almost never jumps, gave up the jump ball. The Warriors easily obtained the ball. Billups took the ball and advanced, and the Warriors went first."

"The king's defensive formation is to take care of Peja first. Whether McGrady or Hill gets the ball, it must be Christie who goes up to defend. Peja is like Iverson of the 76ers. He is surrounded by the king's generals. Dirty work Don't let him touch it after all, Peja, like Iverson, is a pure offensive player, and defense is a bit reluctant for them."

"Although Dayao's height and weight are dominant, this is his first NBA season after all. It's still not enough for him to play Divac in a back-up single. Players, if you don’t pay attention, you will be fouled by him, either offensive or defensive, and the foul will make you helpless.”

"Jermaine O'Neal won't suffer against Webber. Both of them are players with superb physical talents. They are basically mutual explosions. Neither of them can defend the other. However, O'Neal has many teammates who can be rotated. No matter how strong Weber is, the three heroes add up It is stronger than Lu Bu."

"Whether the Warriors can win away games depends on the performance of the Warriors' twin stars McGrady and Hill. If they can overwhelm the combination of Peja and Christie, the Warriors have a high probability of winning."

"Warriors point guard Billups is much stronger than Mike Bibby, whether it is offense or defense, he will not let Bibby succeed easily, the Kings do not lead the offense with point guards, Bibby is more like an outside player Pitchers, hang around the perimeter all the time, looking for the right shot."

"Today the Kings did a good job defending. Whether it was Tracy McGrady or Hill, they were all tightly entangled by the Kings. Webber and Christie were flexible and defensive. The Warriors rarely found a chance to single Peja. Mi 2's Peja is not a paper figurine, after him there are other Kings players coming to defend."

"The crazy fan atmosphere of the Kings' home court also made the Golden State Warriors players very uncomfortable. The Jazz's home court is already scary, but the Kings' home court is not inferior to the Jazz. Fans in Sacramento have been waiting for a whole year , just such a chance for the playoffs, it must be a good toss."

"The Warriors who could barely catch up with the Kings in the first three quarters suddenly collapsed in the fourth quarter. No matter whether it was Tracy McGrady or Hill, they missed no matter how they shot. Dayao was even fouled by Divac consecutively, with 5 fouls on his back Yao’s name can only be replaced in advance.”

"Jermaine O'Neal also made mistakes in the last quarter, and the Warriors who kept accumulating all kinds of small problems finally couldn't stand the Kings' mercury-like offense. The final score was 91:108. The Sacramento Kings defeated the visiting Golden State Warriors without any suspense. .”
