At the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets led the Kings 28-24, and the Nuggets played well by Moodier, scoring 14 points and 2 rebounds, and on the King's side, Zhang Feng scored 8+5+5 all-around data.

"It's easy to play like this, but it looks like we're not making money," muttered Justin, who sat on the sidelines.

Justin obviously meant something, Zhang Feng patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "If you have anything to say, say it directly, don't have scruples."

"No, no" Justin hurriedly waved his hand, trying to cover it up, it can be said that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

"Do you wonder why I'm defending Moodier a meter away?" Zhang Feng directly said what was in Justin's heart.

Justin nodded silently, Zhang Feng smiled mysteriously, leaned into his ear and whispered:

"Do you know Kobe's unique defensive secrets?"

Justin shook his head again and again, and Zhang Feng continued: "In a word, wrap the opponent's contract year players, and let the opponent's players who have signed a big contract singles, understand?" ”。

Justin nodded first, then shook his head: "I don't understand, according to what you say, shouldn't you let Moodier pass the ball to Millsap and let Millsap play alone?" ”。

"You don't know one thing, Kobe's defensive secret is to divide the cohesion of opposing players, which is the core"

"Oh? So what do we do? Justin began to be curious.

Zhang Feng lowered his voice again: "From the second quarter, I will defend Moodier with all my might, that Malone coach doesn't like to play outside, as long as Moodier makes a few mistakes, Malone will force Moodier to pass, and then we will let Millsap play crazy singles and defend other Nuggets players with all his might."

"What if I can't prevent it?" Justin was a little worried about whether this tactic was too risky.

"Are you saying you can't stop Millsap or can't you stop the others?"

"I can't even stop it."

"Then you're going to play in the NBDL," Zhang Feng said with sympathy.

Back on the court in the second quarter, Moodier continued to control the ball, Zhang Feng first pretended to continue to put one meter, and as soon as he held the ball with both hands, he pasted it, and Moodier still chose to jump under inertia, but there was no clear shooting sight, and the 3 points failed to hit.

Willie grabbed the rebound and passed to Buddy first, and Buddy gave it to Zhang Feng when he changed hands.

Zhang Feng attacked quickly with the ball, and Moodier chased after him. When it came to the three-point line, Zhang Feng gave a stop to Buddy, who was also fast, and Harris, who was back on the court, failed to intercept it, and the Nuggets could only watch Buddy score a layup.

Moodier adjusted very quickly, and after this round, he knew that Zhang Feng had changed his defensive strategy, but everyone was lucky, he wanted to score a few more goals with a hot hand, this is his rookie third year, and although the team has executed his contract option, the situation for next year is not yet known.

Moodier feels he has to be prepared for anything, and if the Nuggets don't exercise his 18-19 contract option, he'll have to perform well to get his next contract, and the matchup against tomorrow's Zhang Feng is a great opportunity for him to impress with other teams.

People are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth are destroyed, and Moodier, who has made up his mind, changed direction one after another, but he could not get rid of Zhang Feng's defense, and in desperation, he chose to pull out the jump shot, but he did not hit.

The Kings took advantage of the situation to play another wave of defensive counterattacks, Zhang Feng hit a three-pointer, and the Kings overtook the Nuggets by 1 point.

"Look for opportunities on the inside, don't shoot on the outside," Malone shouted worriedly at the Nuggets on the court, and although it sounded like he was guiding the team's tactics, everyone knew it was a warning to Moodier.

Moodier was a little displeased, and Harris seemed to understand his distress and silently patted him on the shoulder.

Yibian fought again, Justin directly pulled Wilson Chandler down the outside line with Zhang Feng's benefits, and Randolph didn't want to enter the paint area, and only Willy and Nikolai were left on the inside line for a while.

Breakthrough, an excellent opportunity to break through, just as his three-point shooting rate dropped, Moodier bent over and accelerated straight to the inside, and Zhang Feng followed with his front and back feet.

By the time Moodier realized that his shooting chances were not good, it was too late, and he fell into the trap of Willy and Zhang Feng, although he was not reconciled, he could only throw the ball behind his back.

Why throw? Because he was blocked in the bottom line, he didn't have a line of sight to see the situation behind him.

The basketball rolled a few times, and when it reached the halfway point, Harris was sprayed by Malone before, and now he reacted in time and quickly pounced on the ground and began to fight for the ball with Buddy.

"Beep" The referee blew the whistle and signaled for the scrum.

Because the dead ball was on the halfway line, the referee motioned for the two to jump the ball in the halfway line. After a whistle, Harris was the first to hit the ball with a brilliant bounce, and with a little bit of force, the basketball flew straight into Millsap's hands.

Millsam didn't stay outside the three-point line and made a standard big three-step layup. Randolph symbolically reached out to no avail, and Millssp not only made a layup, but also added a free throw.

“yes！” When Malone saw this layup, he clenched his hands into fists with excitement.

In his eyes, he should play more inside, don't even think about the outside except for empty positions, don't think that he Curry, Durant, even Curry, Durant, there are not as many championships as James, he is a rebel in this small-ball era!

Millsapuga hit the penalty, and Zhang Feng said silently in his heart: Please start your performance.

The rest of the game was as Zhang Feng expected, after he forced the outside line to shoot the basketball, Millsap started his personal crazy shotime.

First, Millsap beat Randolph and turned his back buckle; Immediately afterwards, Millsap took two outside steps into the three-second zone and rode a horse to shoot arrows; There is also the Nuggets going down quickly, and Millsap hitting a three-pointer from the outside.

Millsap seemed to play for a while, hitting 6 of 10 shots in the entire second quarter, and the efficiency was terrifying to the point of explosion, which made Malone on the sidelines smile, but Moodier and Harris on the court called MMP in their hearts.

If Malone hadn't been too subjective, he would have found out that Millsap's crazy shooting rate did not open up the difference, and at halftime, the Kings led by 3 points.

At the end of the half, the TNT live broadcast room began to analyze.

"Chuck, what do you think of the first half of the game?" Kenny asked.

"Uh......" Barkley seemed to be thinking about what was the best word to use.

"Zhang Feng performed great, double-double 18+10 at halftime, and he was five rebounds away from a triple-double" O'Neal was the first to express his excitement, and then he added unsatisfactorily: "Of course, Millsap's performance is also good, but this is not healthy, he is not connecting the whole team".

"You're done with everything, what am I going to say?" Barkley looked at O'Neal with a complaining face, and then continued: "If you want me to say, the performance of these two teams is that rookies peck each other, and the defense is very bad, the Kings have always been so bad, and the Nuggets are so bad, I really didn't expect it."

"You know what? This is the exclusive defensive secret that my brother Kobe Bryant passed to Zhang Feng, and you can know where this defensive strategy is great in the second half," O'Neal said with a proud expression.

"So Kobe's defensive secret is to put Moodier a meter first, and then force the trap to cause Millsap to score like crazy inside?" Barkley thinks he's heard the funniest thing.

Kobe's defensive secret? He resolutely did not believe that this online message had any real effect!
