Error 10

Hector is not ignorant of this kind of thing. His attacking skills are simple, but Wharton needs to be corrected on one subject: It is voluntary on Hector's part not to have developed his attacking skills except the fundamentals.

He did not choose the natural direction of progression because of his atypical profile.

Roughly it's a 3&D but in the wrong position. If it was always a small forward, it's not a big problem, but in the center, it's problematic.

NBA teams value big men's 3-point shooters, but a big man who needs to learn how to defend will never be a starter, at best, a player role.

But now it's different. He has a particular model on which to draw inspiration; even if it is not the center, they have similar physical qualities.

The next day was a day of rest; Hector was at the gym performing light exercises under the admiration of the rest of the staff and then an analysis session to see what there was to correct in training.

The Kings won their game the next day against the Dallas Mavericks 105-101.

Hector took more shots than in the previous match and finished in almost double-doubles.

15 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. 5-10 FG, 0-3 3PT, and 5-9 FT.

Hector did not have a hot hand but always allowed his team to win with a clutch interception late in the game.

Guy finished with 19 points and 9 assists, Thompson 15 pts 3 ast. The Kings' leading scorer is Doyle off the bench with 22 pts.

Across the street, Payne was on fire. 32 points, 7-12 at 3PT, 7-7 at FT. Christon was helpless and got cropped by Keegan.

Hector reported on the match with Wharton.

Wharton spoke of Payne: "When a player is hot, there is nothing to do. Everyone can get hot at any time; the problem is that we do not have the players to stop the bleeding. I have no doubt you could have stopped him, but Reegan reacted well by isolating him from the rest of the team. We in California have often faced the two crazy Golden States; believe me, it's worse than that. »

Hector nodded. How could he not know? This is the dynasty in place now.

Wharton continued: "I don't know if I'd rather see one of the two crazy guys or the one in Portland, but a big man who dominates his match is even worse. When the Milwaukee or Philadelphia freak decides you die, you will die. The one in Denver can put everyone to sleep. These are from them; you should be wary. ».

After discussing some details, Hector returns to rest because tomorrow is the first back-to-back of his new career.
