Error 78

The Kings have a good base, but the flaws are easily identifiable but is it easy to solve? No. Apart from Hector, the Kings' players are far too porous on defense. Hector covers this weakness with good rim protection. Ideally, Hector is more suitable for playing hedge, but the staff is not suitable for playing hedge.

Drop coverage emphasizes forcing mid-range two-point shots while protecting the rim and limiting three-way kicks (two of the most effective shots in the game). The hedge is a more aggressive ball screen cover like blitz or hardcover and is more vulnerable to dropping shots from the edge or undisputed three.

So the Kings are forced to play drop, but the players are not good enough to provide a good defense. This imbalance makes Hector's defensive stats obvious, but it also makes the Kings' weak defense obvious. The wolf in the sheepfold is an appropriate expression for this situation.

This season for the Kings is turbulent. Between absence and injuries, then the change of coach. Whatever happens, one is missing. Fox is back, that's good, but another blow will hit the Kings. Holmes and Hield are absent due to COVID: the starting shooting guard and Hector's replacement.

Fox is back from injury, and the Kings are still looking for a way to kick-start their season. The Kings have a record of 15 wins and 22 losses. We just entered 2022, and the Kings beat the Heat 113-115. Hield scored 30 points, and Hector 25 points and 13 rebounds. They just made a 22-point comeback midway through the third quarter, and Hield caught fire.

He was unstoppable and scored 16 points in the final quarter. And the bench has been excellent. Metu, Len, and Mitchell stepped on the Heat's second unit, putting the starters at a safe distance to win.

Usually, a victory could pose a good dynamic, but the two absences back-to-back were said to be cashed. But the disease has no eyes and doesn't care about the name.

The COVID-19 positive test protocol requires a 6-day quarantine before resuming action. Note that it was ten days, but it was shortened. Over the next six days, the Kings will play five times against teams at the top of the standings.

Needless to say, it was five defeats. Hector gets used to his role but needs to make his team win. With 20 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and almost 2 blocks this season, it is easy to say that he has exploded.

With such averages, it's an All-Star season, but will the collective performance stop him? What do the media and coaches who choose the replacements think? Hector can't know, and he doesn't care. But not his father.

Hector is his father's pride, but Hector's introverted personality prevents him from business opportunities. Several reasons magnify the problem. We can say what we want; it is evident that the big men attract less advertising than the guards.

Then Hector is a winner of the Dunk Contest, but he rarely dunks. And finally, he only talks a little except for interviews organized by the NBA, and he doesn't have social networks.

As a businessman, it is his happiness and also his unhappiness. He has to use his connections to earn a spot in the All-Star Game mainly because of the contract his son could potentially get as an All-Star. It is also his place in the project that is also at stake. While Hector ignores this, he must also ensure his son is in the best possible position with the Kings.

An All-Star Game appearance would make him the only team member to enjoy that status. And unlike Fox, the place is accessible for Hector and would be deserved. So he had to call all his media relations in Mexico to aggressively advertise to get him to get the fans' vote. While being a starter is impossible, having a loyal fan base is still necessary.

He did what he could and didn't tell Hector about it. Impossible to say to him. Now it's his turn to insure.
