Chapter 247: Cowardly!
Zhang Feng, with a height and weight of 190cm/85Kg, successfully buckled the 213cm/113Kg Embiid twice in succession, and the solid and clean buckle, such a violent aesthetic fully aroused the **-worship of the strong in the hearts of the fans on the spot! The quest for greater power! An appreciation for beauty!
So they screamed and applauded, they stood up and cheered, and even the eldest cousin blurted out a sentence of what was really in her heart.
Embiid had to be calmed down and the other overwhelmed players had to be given a little time to overcome, and although the number of timeouts was precious, 76ers head coach Brown reluctantly asked for a timeout.
As soon as the referee raised his hand to signal the game to be suspended, the king players on the field and on the bench rushed to Zhang Feng, and they couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts.
"Stop, stop, stop, don't hit me in the chest, I'll go, don't pounce on me!" Zhang Feng hurriedly reminded his teammates.
David smiled and waited for a player to celebrate for half a minute before walking into the field and taking out the tactical board to start arranging.
"Then they will probably speed up the attack, we can't rush and ...... at our own pace."
On the 76ers' side, Embiid took Gatorade, put the towel on his head, and said with a wry smile:
"I'm fine, I'm fine, let's set up tactics."
Brown hesitated for a while before he spoke: "Stick to our tactics after playing, play steadily, don't be in a hurry, don't do too many unnecessary actions, and pay attention to protecting your body ......."
The two teams were surprisingly consistent in their tactical emphasis, and the 75-second timeout ended in an instant, and the 76ers served again to attack.
Simmons stopped the ball at the top of the arc, he ignored Zhang Feng's pressing and pressing, and passed the ball directly to Embiid in the corner position, at the same time, Covington on the right wing ran to the bottom line, and Sharic dragged Willy to the right near bottom corner, and Simmons also joined in the fun to bring Zhang Feng to the right bottom corner.
Is it to cover Covington's shot? Zhang Feng came to this conclusion at a cursory glance, but then he found that Simmons's body leaned forward slightly, and Sharic's eyes were not looking at himself in the bottom corner.
Give the dummy! Zhang Feng reacted immediately. Covington's running position is just to attract the attention of the Kings players, and the 76ers' real killer move is Simmons slipping to the basket to receive Embiid's pass and make a layup, but this requires Sharic to be able to block Zhang Feng, who is following the defense.
"Willy, the one who stopped you!" As soon as Simmons accelerated and started, Zhang Feng immediately gave an order.
The sudden shout made Willy's eyes widen, but he still wrapped his arms around Sharic, which bought Zhang Feng a lot of time to chase Simmons Simmons.
"Don't give it to me!" Simmons also shouted, apparently he already understood that the bottom line tactics would not succeed.
Who not to Simmons? Just do it yourself! Embiid changed his mind and took the ball straight to the basket. Randolph thought that the ball was going to be passed to Covington, so he simply raised his hand to interfere, and Embiid's breakthrough was too late to defend.
Coincidentally, Embiid and Zhang Feng faced each other again this round, but the offensive and defensive roles of the two were reversed.
"Is this a cap?" O'Neill said with expectant eyes.
"No way!" Barkley knocked on the table in response.
"Oops, Embiid is intimidated!" Kenny said with a little regret.
It seems that Embiid's confirmation is cowardly, because as soon as Zhang Feng jumped, he gave up the layup and handed the ball to Simmons, but if you want to say that this point can score more easily, it also makes sense.
Simmons received the ball under the basket and threw the ball directly to wipe the board and shoot, but Willy rushed to the basket and jumped up.
"Bang", another pegboard hat!
"This can also be blocked...... Barkley shook his head repeatedly.
"Still Shaq is amazing, haha".
"Of course, I always guess the ...... the result."
Willy not only successfully nailed the big hat but also grabbed the rebound, Zhang Feng received his pass and ran to the frontcourt, and Simmons defended closely.
At the top of the arc, Randolph stepped forward to block and dismantle, and Zhang Feng took the left side to look for opportunities. But after wandering repeatedly, Simmons defended very tightly, Zhang Feng distributed the ball to Carter, and at the same time he ran inside.
Covington only when Carter was old and decrepit, and with 20 seconds left in the offensive time, Carter had no possibility of shooting, so he only symbolically defended, who knew that Carter suddenly accelerated to the top of the arc, Randolph cooperated with the block again, and Embiid could only change the defense.
At this time, Embiid had the same idea as Covington, but Carter made a low-level three-point shot, and Embiid looked back and hit a 3-point shot.
"Damn", Embiid threw his fist in frustration, not realizing that Carter had made 2,055 three-pointers, which ranked seventh all-time, and that he lacked basic respect for Carter.
The 76ers played very cautiously this time, Simmons handed the ball to Embiid on the left wing, Embiid was not impatient, he waited until his teammates pulled out the space before starting to play alone.
Embiid, who got serious, was very powerful, and Randolph couldn't keep up with the speed and was passed by one step. Embiid, who scored inside, did not hold up a dunk, but instead distributed the ball to Sharic in the low post on the right side, and Sharic received the ball and scored 2 points on a layup.
Zhang Feng attacked with the ball, Simmons directly ignored the other Kings players to mark, and Zhang Feng suddenly accelerated after the Logo area, and took advantage of Carter's delay to get rid of Simmons and go straight to the inside.
It stands to reason that Embiid should step forward to help defend at this time, but he waved his hand to signal Sharic to come up.
The inside line played small and big, Zhang Feng turned around twice in a row, Sharic directly lost his rhythm, and Zhang Feng threw a hit to cut down 2 points.
In the next few rounds, Embiid was always free to catch the ball and defend in the nearby paint area, and he was determined not to stand under the basket. However, it looked like it was working well, as he made the most of his height and reach, while also rendering Randolph's defensive around the front useless because of his presence on the outside.
"Why is this game suddenly boring and boring?" , Stewart on the sidelines sighed.
"This thing is like doing x, the process is very long, but "gaochao" is only a few seconds, just now Zhang Feng dunked, blocked, and dunked for 5 seconds, you say, right?" The eldest cousin shook her head and said.
"Well said!" Stewart gave a thumbs up, and Angelie didn't answer, she was just shocked by her eldest cousin's heroism.
The game quickly entered the end of the first quarter, and the Kings led the 76ers 32-21. Although the point difference is not large, Simmons has 2 fouls on his back, which is simply bad news for the 76ers, Simmons will definitely only be able to play for a few minutes in the second quarter, and Zhang Feng will not do whatever he wants at that time?
The inter-quarter timeout was only 130 seconds, Brown was talking about the tactics that had been talked about hundreds of times, while thinking about how to solve the problem of defending Zhang Feng, and when he was about to play, Brown still didn't think of a way, and finally he could only say helplessly:
"Play later, you close the point, if Zhang Feng wants to break through, let him break through, and reducing fouls is the most important thing!"
Simmons was stunned when he heard this, this Embiid has already been coaxed, should he be cowardly? The two tactics launched the point of confession, so the whole team was so intimidated!
