Two days later, against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Kings got off to a good start. They led by 3 points in the first quarter. Hector didn't score, but he already had 5rbs, 3ast, and 2blk.
He didn't have the feeling today; it wasn't necessary now because the team was running well.
The compositions are PG Guy, SG Christon SF Swanigan, and PF Thompson C Herrera. Reegan was sick of James, who got his DNP.
The Clippers had; PG Robinson SG Michineau SF Coffey PF Gates C Kabengele.
Kabengele missed a driving floating jump shot, G Brissett of the Clippers grabbed the offensive rebound, but Hector came in behind and put in his third block of the game.
He couldn't get into his game today but did what he could defensively. It wasn't until a foul by Coffey on a layup attempt that Hector scored his first points of the game. He has missed four shots so far and already had two personal fouls.
The other teams know that he is the one who maintains this defense single-handedly; without him, the reason would have been below average.
It is now 41-33 for the Kings, and at 2:38, Hector makes a dunk after a pick and rolls with PG Doyle. Then a succession of missed shots from both teams until 1:32, Hector makes a driving floating jump shot. 45-33.
Coffey makes a 3PT and a free throw, completing the action at 4 points, 45-37.
The system helps him develop his skills by eliminating unnecessary movement when shooting. 0:47 Hector has tried the fadeaway. He is growing little by little. Now it could be better, but enough to score. 47-37.
The score will not move, but for the remaining seconds, Hector makes a steal.
Reegan wanted more than Hector's first two quarters. But he couldn't yell at her because of his defense.
Worse at the end of the third quarter, Hector, who did not put a single point or weigh defensively, did not avoid criticism this time because the Kings let slip an 8-point lead.
Reegan said, "Hector, your third quarter is unconscionable. You've been bad. Don't think you can relax because you have nothing to lose. So far, I know you try to do well and have a sense of the collective, but as I told you, you are tested here. The league is not a place where you can do as you please. ».
Hector is a little embarrassed, but that's right, he can't keep playing like this. Statistically, he has good stats 8pts, 7rbs 5ast, 4blk, and 3stl. But in fact, he is 3-11 at FG, and except in defense, the impression on the field looks like he is sleepwalking except when he makes assists.
He took only two defensive rebounds, and apart from 2 steals, he had no sense of existence. There is no way to continue like this; we must work hard to win this game.
