he successfully penetrated Glory Team's interior, attracting defensive attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he passed to Stojakovic on the left at a 45-degree angle, who quickly shot a three-pointer and scored!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both teams scored quickly at the start; looks like tonight is destined to be a high-scoring battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both teams indeed score very fast; in a transition play, Gan Guoyang received an arc-top pass and hit a three-pointer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This season, Gan Guoyang's three-point attempts and shooting rates have reached career peaks unexpectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Divac assisted cutting Christie in the high post, Christie received the ball, avoided Miller's block, and made a layup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cutting motion was very natural, squatting at the corner initially, awaiting a three-point opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the tactic change, seeming to move outside while actually diving inside, receiving and laying in the ball unexpectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kings evidently worked hard on cut-in concealment, with quite strong misdirection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gan Guoyang immediately took a Miller interior pass in the left low post and scored with a left-handed dunk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kings' defense is indeed average; Divac is getting older, moving slowly, decent in single defense, but struggles in assists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides rebounding anticipation and protection being decent, Wei Bo's defense is quite average otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially facing Ah Gan, he's hesitant to make a move, getting squeezed behind by Gan Guoyang and losing position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Kings can respond on offense; facing Glory's sudden zone defense, Wei Bo hit from 45 degrees for a long two-point shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few rounds later, Glory, initially able to match the Kings, gradually fell into disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After both sides settled in, Glory's offensive means were apparently fewer than the Kings'; they were undermanned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Kings have a complete lineup; everyone is in excellent form, and their bench is quite aggressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turkoglu and Bobby Jackson played in the middle and latter part of the first quarter; both have starting capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying they have starting capabilities because they can solve problems strongly during matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game is ever-changing; plans often can't keep up with changes, and when situations change causing issues, they need to solve problems either by switching tactics or putting the ball in the basket themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jackson and Turkoglu are both very good in this aspect, including during playoffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison, on Glory Team's bench, there are very few who can truly solve problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kings' bench, including Pollard, forms a bench mob that's another success factor this season.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kings took a lead in the first quarter, 33:27, with a 6-point margin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides aggressively swinging arms, but Glory Team can't match up to the Kings, whose firepower is also sustained very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glory Team made adjustments in the second quarter, beginning defensively by assigning Raja Bell to guard Mike Bibby instead of Old Porter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Porter is getting older and can't keep up with Bibby, and the strength advantage Porter has against most small point guards doesn't apply against Bibby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Porter matched against Christie, whose offensive threat is smaller, allowing the better-defending and younger Bell to chase Bibby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Offensively, Tomjanovich asked Glory to shoot more threes, spreading the space wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Gan Guoyang should initiate more low-post offenses, as the axis leading teammates, which is Glory Team's final trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the second quarter began, Padgett received an assist from Gan Guoyang and hit his first three-pointer of the game from the right at a 45-degree angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Bell marked Bibby defensively, the Kings' offensive maneuvering was indeed more challenging than in the first quarter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is another feature of the Kings' Princeton System, the Bibby+Wei Bo perimeter pick-and-roll duo is the team's core tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelman knows very well that relying on Wei Bo alone can't give Princeton System a solid foundation like Ah Gan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Bibby joined the Kings, the team had never become a top-tier League squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bibby's arrival truly transformed the Kings, bringing a qualitative change to the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to Bibby's stable long-range shooting ability on offense and his diverse pick-and-roll collaboration with Wei Bo, it supplemented the Princeton System excellently, even considered the final piece of the puzzle.\u003C\u002Fp>",883,"2026-06-06T01:42:09.674Z",1,"novelbin.me","60d69e90109849eb0a8784c807fde750d793e827fc4c0997a21d4e37fd3b20a5","the-golden-age-of-basketball-chapter-1960","the-golden-age-of-basketball-chapter-1958",2033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-golden-age-of-basketball-cover.jpg"]
