Chapter 153: Countermeasures

Popovich's evil smile made Zhang Feng realize that this would be an extremely difficult game, the strongest point of the Spurs was originally kawaii, but now that he is not on the court, it is naturally Aldridge and Gasol's turn to attack, Dejounte is mostly responsible for dribbling through half of the court, his strong defense is estimated to have little effect, but Aldridge will ruthlessly blow up the king's young interior line.

Sure enough, Aldridge's back-to-back single left Giles defenseless, and the Spurs easily scored two points.

After receiving Papa's pass, Zhang Feng ran away, rushed to the frontcourt, and faced Dejounte's defense directly close to the hard, Dejounte was squeezed back again and again. Dejountai knew that he couldn't prevent Zhang Feng, so he simply got out of the way and let Zhang Feng break through into the inner line.

Aldridge looked indifferent, he watched Zhang Feng rush into the interior and stand unhurriedly in the three-second zone to meet Zhang Feng's layup. Zhang Feng did not despise Aldridge, only took two steps to the three-step layup and threw the ball in the air, and deliberately threw the ball high.

Because the throw was too high, Aldry couldn't block it, and could only watch the basketball fall from the air, the angle was just right, the basketball hollowed into the net, Zhang Feng got his first 2 points in the NBA court, although not counted in the career score, but also quite commemorative.

Zhang Feng scored, and the applause and cheers of the Kings fans resounded throughout the Golden No. 1 Arena. In addition to the fans, the official Kings were not idle, the person in charge of their official Twitter had already prepared the text, just waiting for the screenshot, Zhang Feng threw in these two points, and the official tweet immediately tweeted:

"Congratulations, Zhang Feng scored the first 2 points, and a legend began", this tweet was immediately retweeted by many people, including big-name stars such as Kobe Bryant and LeBron, and in less than 1 minute, this tweet received 10,000 likes.

In the TNT studio, O'Neal praised Zhang Feng's shot, he blinked his eyes, and said happily:

"This kid is always so different and chooses such a peculiar defense to score the first goal."

Barkley doesn't care: "It's not special, it's just that you like him too much."

On the court, Zhang Feng has quickly retreated, and he is quickly thinking about how to deal with the Spurs' tactics of playing inside.

Before he could react, Dejounte found a running error from Papayannis and passed directly to Pau Gasol for an open catch, who dunked easily to score two points.

Zhang Feng continued to attack with the ball, and he couldn't think of a way to deal with it for the time being, mainly because the opponent's interior line was too strong, Pau Gasol and Aldridge faced Papayannis and Giles, which was a bigger gap than the gap between him and Jordan.

Since they can't think of a good tactical response, they can only score, and they have to score more points than the Spurs in each round, and the Spurs play inside, and the Kings focus on three-point shooting and mid-range shooting to see who can have the last laugh.

After making up his mind, Zhang Feng raised his right hand and stretched out one hand to signal his teammates to start running.

Communicating with gestures is a common tactical communication method on the NBA court, but each team has its own unique way of understanding, for example, Zhang Feng spreads out three fingers to actually mean to play the No. 2 position, and the response method of the No. 1-5 position in the team communication is: 1 finger represents the No. 2 position, 2 fingers represent the No. 3 position, and so on, and 5 fingers represent the No. 1 position.

Seeing Zhang Feng's signal, the Kings players knew that they had to block Bogdan and let him throw the vacant position.

At this time, it was Danny Green who defended Bogdan, not only an off-ball master, but also a defensive master, who could block both Durant's mid-range shot and Curry's three-pointers, so Bogdan had to shoot in the open space to be safest.

In order to cover up his strategic intentions, Zhang Feng decided to personally block and dismantle Bogdan, he first passed the ball to Justin on the inside, and then ran directly to Danny Green to start blocking, Bogdan immediately ran back, Danny Green couldn't catch up, and could only signal Dejounte to change defense. However, Justin passed the ball quickly, Bogdan received the ball and shot, there was no defensive pressure, and this three-point shot was solid.

Strictly speaking, this ball is a defensive error, Dejounte should have switched to Bogdan the moment Zhang Feng blocked the dismantle, he was a second late, which gave Bogdan space to shoot.

However, to the King's dismay, the three-point joy was not over, Pau Gasol scored easily, and then the Kings attacked Bogdan and missed a three-point shot.

The two sides went back and forth like this, and the Spurs scored crazy points on the inside with an 80%+ shooting rate, and occasionally passed to Danny Green on the outside to shoot three-pointers, but fortunately, Danny Green hit a three-point iron on a daily basis. On the Kings' side, the three-point and mid-range shooting was ineffective, trailing by a full 12 points after the first quarter.

"The young king seems to be in trouble" In the TNT live room, Barkley began to pause his analysis.

"Agreed, they can't solve the Spurs' interior duo, I don't know if they deliberately choose to focus on three-point and mid-range shooting, this choice is not good, they only have Zhang Feng, unlike the Warriors who have Curry, Durant and Thompson." O'Neill saw through the king's words at a glance, and even guessed Zhang Feng's thoughts.

"Speaking of which, do you two of the NBA's most famous interior players have any advice for the Kings?" Kenny asked.

Barkley and O'Neal didn't answer, and after a while, O'Neal said: "It's useless for us to make suggestions, the tactics are all up to the players to execute, not to mention whether the tactics are reasonable, the key Papa and Giles may not be able to execute at all."

"Oh? Let's talk about it specifically, maybe they can implement it in place? Kenny asked.

O'Neal thought about it again and said: "It's very simple, fight the bayonet, let Papa, Giles and the Spurs fight hand-to-hand inside, and it is best for both sides to foul, so that the lethality of the Spurs' interior line will drop sharply."

After O'Neal finished speaking, Barkley also nodded in agreement, but they didn't know if Kings coach David could think of it.

Inside the court, David took the tactics board and began to explain the tactics, "We need to make changes in the second quarter, first of all, we can't let the Spurs easily receive passes inside, Papa and Giles use more defense around the front; Secondly, the outside line Zhang Feng and Bogdan also tried their best to delay, and Justin chose to pack the clip depending on the situation. On the offensive side, try to shoot a lot and reduce the number of three-point shots, that's it, let's see how the effect is, do you understand? ”。

The players nodded their heads to make it clear, and Zhang Feng also thought it was good, but he suddenly thought of a way, "Wait, I have a proposal."

David was very happy that Zhang Feng could have his own tactical ideas.

"Let's replace Randolph, of course, I'm not saying that Giles is playing badly, it's just that the Spurs' current axis is on Aldridge, and if I can delay the outside, Randolph delays the inside, the Spurs' rhythm will be disrupted."

After listening to this, David pondered with his cheeks, thought for dozens of seconds, raised his head and said, "Yes, let's replace Randolph."

Knowing that he was going to play, Randolph took off his coat and patted Giles on the back, "I'll find the way for you first."
