Reegan is very happy with Hector's match... And surprised, it's not his fault. He saw another side of the game from Hector. Its adaptability is too strong.

Hector himself is surprised; this is not his usual style of play, but he is experimenting today. He didn't expect to have such an easy life. Usually, it is instead a center that stays in the post-up and makes the difference either with a pass or a shot. Today he decided to be combative on the rebound and to show his presence under the basket.

After a 3PT from the Pistons early in the third quarter, Hector fouled a shot after an offensive rebound and missed 1 of 2 free throws.

Hector puts down a screen, and Guy passes to Christon, who goes behind the screen and quietly reads his layup.

At 7:35, Hector makes a dunk on the head to Bone, who was underneath. This is the first dunk poster of his life, including the previous one. He understands why everyone is excited after this kind of dunk; the feeling of dominance is addictive.

He hit Bone 2 shots later. Demoralized, Bone would not score any more from the match. And conversely, Hector will increase in power as the minutes pass. He makes two more dunks, 4rbs including offensive.

The Kings will widen the gap gradually and finish the quarter with a 13-point advantage. He will return to play the second half of the last quarter, but the game is folded. The time to add 2pts 1rbs and a 1blk. 73-60.

Clear victory 105-25 for the Kings. Hector had his best match so far—30pts 11rbs (4 offensive and 7 defensives) 1ast 2stl 2blk. Mason is the Kings' only starter to surpass 10 points with 11. Brown scored 20 points with 2stl and 2blk off the bench, and Thompson 10 pts.

He went to see Doumbia and exchanged courtesies.

It's the most robust collective performance since the Kings' debut and the satisfaction of qualifying for the semifinals. Even though Hector didn't say anything, Hayes openly challenged him and wanted to pass a message to Doumbia. Instead of speaking, he acted. He is humble, but each person has his pride.

Hector told reporters: "I was in good shape today; I started my match well. I took my responsibilities in attack without doing too much because the team played well. Doumbia? He is not my direct opponent, so I will not say anything. He has done well on his side. ».

Doumbia finished with 9pts and 2rbs. He was also interviewed and naturally asked questions about Hector: "Hector is a good player, this match speaks for him, and I wish him a good career," he said in French.

Reegan is not stingy with compliments: "He's the Hector I've been waiting for from the beginning, I asked him to be more aggressive with the ball, and he did a good job today. I think Luke must have the same thoughts as me. ».

After that good game, on July 14, the Sacramento Kings saw their path halt in the semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. They lost 85-77. Hector finished with 15pts and 14rbs, but it wasn't enough against Reid's 20 points.

He finished this summer league with an average of 17pts 9,33rbs 4ast 1,66stl and 2blk, complete data, and despite the defeat, it is a success from a personal point of view.

The Memphis Grizzlies won the title over the Wolves in the final 95-92. Aaron Clarke of the Grizzlies was voted MVP.

Hector was impressed during this period. The NBA Summer League always seems to produce several performances by players under the radar, and Hector is one of them; if there were a primary 5 of the competition, he would be one of them.

This is how the prelude to Hector Herrera's career concludes.
