There is another reason why Hector is staying in New York. That's because the game after the All-Star Game is against the Knicks. The Knicks-Kings games are very followed to see Pat Ewing's journey against the team he defended and where he became a legend.

There are also the incredible performances of Hector in Madison Square Garden. Five-double-double, the record of thefts in a game in history, are competitive teams.

As Hector scored, Madison Square Garden stopped and cheered. Some "LIGHT THE BEAM" are being heard. The Kings players rushed in and pulled Hector off the ground. When the buzzer sounded and a red light, no one knew what would happen.

Because they didn't even realize they had lost!

They had just celebrated the victory before the last timeout. Result? A Mexico Step to put an end to any threat!

Barrett, Zion, and Jalen were stunned. A second paradise, the other in hell without any chance of catching up.

Hector went to his friends and hugged them.

"Not today, guys." He hugged his teammates and coaches. Pat Ewing knows Hector and has watched him grow as a player and leader. He said two seconds was enough. He had nothing to worry about.

The game was already scheduled on ABC before Zion's trade, and they hit the jackpot. The relationship between the four players in the 2019 draft is no secret. The media did quite a lot of promotion for the hype of this game, and all three responded.

Countless cameras took the hug between the three. It's the NBA, and it's the star of the spotlight. The victor is king, and the loser cannot escape. Zion and R.J. are not criminals and have nothing to reproach themselves.

With 37 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists for R.J., and 35 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists for Williamson, it would be foolish to criticize them—72 points accumulated for both.

"My God, am I dreaming?" Doris Burke sat down in the commentators' office. The question arises for his colleagues. Doris Burke is the first woman to analyze for an NBA Finals. In office since the summer of 2023, she has been recognized in the field.

"It's cruel for the Knicks. The Mexico Step in total imbalance from the logo, under a double interference of Barrett and Robinson, the Knicks' defense was very good. But Herrera has always killed the game... I am speechless. »

Doc Rivers' voice is much quieter.

Hector is the absolute protagonist tonight, and journalists rush to him.

"I shot and scored, that's all. Fans can judge if it's an achievement, but in my eyes, putting the ball in the basket is the essence of our sport. Aesthetics is something else. »

Hector was also excellent tonight. 35 points, 21 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks. Only one NBA player is capable of this kind of performance. Without even looking, we already know who we are talking about.

"We don't have the pressure of the record. Finally, everything will be decided in April, and the most important thing is to qualify for the playoffs. We are racing against nobody. We will see what we must do when we arrive at our destination. »

Hector remains humble. Out of fidelity, he will not betray his ideals. Many become arrogant with glory, but after all, people must look forward. Once the buzzer sounded, it was already ancient history for him.

The Kings have won 48 of 57 games played this season. It can be said that they are unofficially in the playoffs because 48 wins is often a safety bar. The 60 wins is an achievable goal but optional for them.

Hector's list of accomplishments this season is long, but the candidacy for the MVP, even if he did not mention it, has no debates for coaches, journalists, and players.
