NBA: Interior Overlord!

December 29.

The Kings face the Suns at home.

The Suns are weak, with their current record of 13-24, and Devin Booker hasn’t led them out of the woods.

In fact, at the beginning of the season, both teams were rebuilding teams with the same illness, and both teams were at the bottom of the table for a while, but since the Kings had Zhang Tao, now the Kings have got rid of the title of weak team, and after getting Beal, they are even expected to chase the championship.

The two teams are no longer in the same position.

Before the game, the Kings were seventh in the West and the Suns were twelfth in the West, and the two sides had already opened a five-win gap.

The Kings played at home and morale was high, and Booker had just returned from injury and was in average form.

In the first quarter, the Kings led by 10 points, 35-25.

In the second two quarters of the game, the Suns constantly tried to fight back, but the Kings still controlled the situation steadily, and the combination of Zhang Tao and Bill was still sharp.

In the third quarter, the two sides attacked aggressively, and the score was 41-41 in a single quarter.

After three quarters, the score was 95-85, and the Suns’ chasing was ineffective.

In the fourth quarter, Zhang Tao once again made a strong inside and led the team to play a wave of 15-5, and the score was completely opened.

The Suns didn’t score in motion for half a quarter, relying only on free throws to score points, and their weak team attributes were at a glance.

Booker also lost the outside showdown with Beal.

In the end, the Kings easily defeated the Suns 122-104 to get a 12-game winning streak.

The 12-game winning streak is also currently the longest in the league.

Suns stats: Devin Kerr scored 26 points, TJ Warren had 6 points and 10 rebounds, and Marquis Chris had 147 rebounds.

King’s side: 9 players on the field, 7 players scored double-doubles. Zach Randolph 14, Zhang Tao 22 points, 20 rebounds and 6 assists, Beal 31 points, 4 steals, 12 points and 7 assists, Hield 15 points….

This game is considered to be a powerful game for the whole team, and Zhang Tao is often relaxed.

The addition of Beal alleviated Zhang Tao, who did not have to work hard to cut 40+20 data every game to win.

“Zhang Tao cut double twenty again, Song wins.” 》

“Bill joins like a tiger, the Kings have become a super team!” 》

“One inside and one outside all-star, who can stop the current king?” 》

“Beat off the Suns easily at home, the Kings have won 12 straight games!” 》

Now the outside world is touting the King, and the team style displayed by the King is the top team in the league.

At 18-17, the Kings have pushed their winning percentage over 50 percent

Zhang Tao still ranks first in the scoring list, rebounding list, block list, efficiency list, and rookie list.

Zhang Tao also killed the top five on the MVP, and he has not lost since joining the King, which adds too many points to him.

To the chorus of praise, the Kings welcomed their next rival, the Memphis Grizzlies.

On December 30, this is also the last race of the year.

The Grizzlies now have a 12-23 record, worse than the Suns, and after a recent four-loss streak, they still don’t see a trend of turning around, and the Kings are ready to continue their 13-game winning streak and move up the rankings.

In short, the difference in strength between the two teams is very large.

In addition, the Grizzlies also lacked the interior core Gasol Jr. in this game, and Gasol Jr. was out due to injury.

Without Gasol Jr., interior defense is a big problem for the Grizzlies.

The Kings played easily and scored quickly, and at the end of the first quarter, Zhang Tao hit a halftime 3-pointer to give the Kings a 33-22 lead.

As soon as the second quarter came up, Beal led the second team to hit the outside line continuously, and the gap between the two sides continued to widen.

At the end of the first half, the score was 47-67, and the Kings at home opened the gap to 20 points.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Zhang Tao hit another long-range three-pointer, after which the Grizzlies’ defense strengthened, and the King’s offense was not so easy, and when the second team faced off in the last two minutes of the quarter, the King’s second team was dumb, and he didn’t score a point in two minutes, but at the end of the third quarter, the score was still 69-89, and the difference was still 20 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jorgel let Zhang Tao and Bill rest off the court at the same time.

But the Grizzlies’ chasing momentum was fierce, Dillon Brooks hit the outside line one after another to chase the score to 87-99, Jorgle could only let Zhang Tao and Beal reappear, and the Grizzlies also chased the score back to single digits with their momentum.

With 1 minute and 31 seconds left in the score, Evans made a breakthrough layup to chase the score to 98-105, but unfortunately it was too late, Zhang Tao easily went in and dunked after blocking with Beal in the next round, and the King was completely in control of the situation!!

The final score was fixed at 13-111, and the Kings defeated the Memphis Grizzlies at home to easily win 13 straight games!! _
