The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 304
After defeating the Warriors, the Kings seemed to have opened up the two lines of Ren and Du, not only continuing to start the winning streak, but also getting better and better.

On Singles' Day on November 11, the Kings will be a guest in Dallas to challenge the Mavericks.

During the offseason, the Mavericks offered Chandler Parsons a three-year, 3 million offer contract. In the end, the stingy Rockets did not match it, and Parsons officially joined the Mavericks.

Coupled with the signing back of Tyson Chandler and Jose Barea, a lineup vowed to return to the championship.

However, the players have long passed their peak, so how can they still have the strength of those years?
118:96, the king defeated the calf without bloodshed.

Limiting the Mavericks to less than 40 percent shooting while seven players scored in double figures is a horror.

Coming to Dallas, this is just the first game of the Kings' Texas road trip.

As we all know, Texas has a strong folk style and is the state with the second highest GDP in the Ugly Country. This has led to a very popular sports culture in Texas, and most of the sports teams are also excellent.

Among them, the most well-known is the "Texas Top Three"!

Generally, when the NBA arranges the schedule, the three Texas teams will be arranged together. This kind of devil's road trip is very difficult no matter what kind of team it is.

Therefore, before the game, both the media and the fans believed that the Kings would lose at least one of these three road trips.

There is no way, it is too difficult to get out of here completely!
We all know the "three falsehoods in Texas": the Spurs are old, the Mavericks are weak, and the Rockets are strong!
However, after a game, the Kings have made one of the illusions a reality.

Then on the 13th, the King came to San Antonio again to challenge the Spurs.

It is said that the Spurs are old, but in fact, the Spurs are not as old as the Mavericks.

Unlike the aging Mavericks, the Spurs have a good combination of old and new. Veterans can shine, and young people can also show their talents to their heart's content.

And they are the defending champions!

Last season, the Spurs eliminated the Kings in the Western Conference Finals!
Therefore, before the game, the media agreed that the Kings' eight-game winning streak would end here.

Who knew that after the match started, this was not the case at all!
Due to injury, the Spurs' starting center Splitter missed the game, and Aaron Baynes served as the starting center!

Does Baynes have that strength?
He is only a third-year rookie averaging 6 points and 4 rebounds per game this season, expect him to defend Li Pu?
Do you know without that ability?
After the match started, after meeting Li Pu, he was like Li Pu's toy, allowing Li Pu to play with it wantonly!
Although Duncan helped him defend during the game, Duncan is already 38!
Since the start of the game, the average data per game has dropped to a new low in his career. Although his defensive ability is still there, his footsteps are obviously not comparable to when he was young. The help defense given to Baynes is quite limited!
So, in the first quarter of the game, the Kings exploded the Spurs inside!
Popovich was very dissatisfied with this and called three timeouts in a row before the team's defense improved slightly.

But the defense is up, what about the offense?
After the start of the game, the Spurs' offense was quite constipated. They passed back and forth in that half, suddenly and suddenly, and finally forced a shot against someone, but they didn't go in!

The Spurs' offensive system is completely invincible in the face of the Kings' excellent individual defensive strength in various positions, which is in stark contrast to the Western Conference Finals!

In this way, after the first quarter, the Kings led the Spurs by 32 points 14:18!
Who will believe the defending champion Spurs in one quarter?

Is this still the Spurs who beat the Heat in the Finals?
Of course, it is impossible for the Spurs to admit defeat so easily. If they really lose like this, then they are not the Spurs!
From the second quarter, the Spurs gradually recovered their state.

Coupled with the fact that the Kings' shooting percentage began to decline, the Spurs stabilized the score and even narrowed the point difference to 11 points at one point.

But unfortunately, as Middleton and Li Pu each scored a three-pointer, in the end, the point difference was beaten back.

At 38:55, at halftime, the Spurs were still 17 points behind.

After entering the second half, the Spurs did not admit defeat at the beginning, and were still working hard to chase points.

But the Kings withstood the pressure, especially Li Pu, in the mid-range position, no matter who the opponent was, he hit three mid-range shots in a row.

In this way, after three quarters, the Kings still led by 14 points.

Of course, the difference of 14 points is not that big, and it seems that it is still possible to recover!
However, not long after the fourth quarter started, Thomas Jr. assisted Covington to hit a three-pointer, and then Jokic scored another "2+1"!
The point difference came directly to 20 points!
Now the Spurs have no chance of a comeback.

In the end, Popovich replaced all the substitutes and surrendered!

The final score was fixed at 114:91. The Kings beat the Spurs, and the main players punched in three quarters. This scene really shocked all fans and media!

Are the Kings so strong that even the Spurs are no match at all?
Prior to this, although the Kings had been winning streak, everyone did not think that the Kings were a team with the strength to win the championship.

No way, the overall age of the team is too young!

And the team only has Li Pu as an All-Star. In such an era where the Big Three are always formed, how can you win the championship with a single core?

However, until now, people have discovered that the Kings are single-core?It must be ten cores!

After defeating the Spurs, neither the media nor the fans were silent, and even the Spurs lost. The Kings' ten-game winning streak is already within reach!
After all, this season, the Rockets let go of Chandler Parsons, and Howard suffered from injuries. Compared with last season, the strength of the team is not advancing but retreating.

However, after the game started, it was different from what people thought!

In the first quarter, the Rockets, short of major generals, were actually beating the king!
Second-year rookie Isaiah Cannan has become a surprise player for the Rockets. He averaged 6 points per game in the past. Tonight, he made 3 of 3 three-pointers in the first quarter and scored 11 points!
Second only to Harden's 12 points.

In addition, Motiejunas, Ariza, and Jason Terry all hit three-pointers.

In this way, the Rockets relied on the three-point rain and led by 37 points at 19:18 in a single quarter!
However, from the beginning of the second quarter, the Kings began to fight back.

First, he beat the Rockets 31:20 in a single quarter in the second quarter, and then beat the Rockets 33:20 in the third quarter.

Without Howard's Rockets, it is really a three-pointer for success, and a three-pointer for defeat!

As the Rockets' three-point shooting percentage declined, the team was inevitably overtaken by the Kings!
The final score was fixed at 109:102. The Kings narrowly won by 7 points and won the ten-game winning streak without any risk!

The media and fans guessed the result correctly, but not the process!
