Chapter 267: The King's Contempt
At 6 p.m. on November 23, Sacramento, Golden One Arena, where the Kings vs. Lakers will be held, and the players of the two teams will officially enter the court to warm up.
In this competition, the ball dad 'went out' with his son Lonzo Ball, and the reporters naturally did not want to let go of this rare opportunity, they hoped to use this interview to get a big news, preferably the kind of ball dad who spoke wildly.
ESPN, as the media that has always been biased towards Ball, took the lead in interviewing Ball Daddy. When the ball dad was asked what he expected from this game, the ball dad said that the feud between Ball and Zhang Feng would officially come to an end, and he thought that in tonight's game, Ball would definitely beat Zhang Feng.
For the various rookie records set by Zhang Feng, the ball father thinks that it is certainly good to have such a performance, but considering that the Kings only have Zhang Feng as a star, that kind of record is also normal, especially since these records are achieved on weak teams.
Finally, Ball Daddy once again emphasized that Lakers coach Walton should seriously consider how to allocate Ball's playing time, and Ball should not be pressed to the bench in the fourth quarter again.
Because it was a live interview, the ball daddy's remarks were spread at the first time, except for the Los Angeles Lakers fans who felt that there was no exaggeration, other neutral fans thought that the ball father was crazy.
Zhang Feng warmed up at half time, and the ball father pretended to be forced in front of him like this, he just smiled, and secretly competed in his heart to see the real chapter on the field later.
Half an hour later, fans began to enter the stadium, and Kings fans prepared a number of signs for tonight's game, the most prominent of which was "Peak Hour", as well as some tearful emoji signs in Ball.
Approaching 7 o'clock, the lights in the court began to dim, and the host introduced the players one by one with a loud voice, and Ball was arranged to be the last to play in the Lakers for the first time, which made Dad stand up with a happy ovation, and he immediately tweeted that he was satisfied with the Lakers' attention to Ball.
When introducing the king to play, the first player to be shouted was Justin Jackson, but Zhang Feng also ran out to continue the warm-up, and by the time the host chanted Zhang Feng's name, he had hit 4 3-pointers in a row.
At 7 o'clock, the game between the two teams officially began. The Lakers' starting lineup is Ball and Pope in the backcourt, Kuzma, Ingram, and Lopez in the frontcourt, and the Kings changed their lineup in this game, and David used three young players, Skar, Mason, and Justin, to replace Randolph, Carter, and Bogdan to start.
"In terms of lineups, the Kings are faster, they seem to be abandoning defense, Charles, what do you think?" , TNT live room, Kenny leads to the topic.
"Wise choice, the Kings have Zhang Feng on the court, David can make any attempt, and the Lakers' lineup is not very effective defensively. Shaq, I have a point, right? ”。
"Totally agree, everyone knows how Ball defensively, Kuzma's offensive performance has covered up a lot of his defensive problems, Lopez can't keep up with Willy's rhythm on the inside, and Ingram is the only thing on the Lakers team that can play a role defensively."
"Let's move on to that later, the Kings have the ball first, let's see how the first attack goes," Kenny said.
On the field, Zhang Feng had stopped at the top of the arc to dribble, although the audience chanted "heads-up", Zhang Feng still passed the ball straight inside. Willy received the ball in the left three-second zone and turned around to hook up for a layup, but Lopez had not yet entered the rhythm of the game, and instinctively pulled his hand to pay for the foul.
The king's baseline ball, the Lakers blocked in front of Willy, Willy wittily threw it high, Zhang Feng successfully received the ball in the middle line, and Ball hurriedly turned around.
"Heads-up, heads-up", the stadium once again resounded with the shouts of the Kings fans, and the other players of the Kings spontaneously stood on both sides.
Heads-up Ball? Isn't that as simple as drinking water? Zhang Feng laughed in his heart, since the fans are so strongly demanding, let's meet it.
Bending over, his left shoulder swayed, Bauer shook, Zhang Feng exerted his right foot, and passed it in one step. Immediately after Zhang Feng accelerated his sprint, made an emergency stop at the free throw line, and shot in the middle of the shot, and hit a 2-point hollow shot, the Kings fans gave a standing ovation and cheered, and the ball daddy's face was pale.
The Lakers hurriedly served, Ball was wildly lucky, Zhang Feng was successfully delayed in the LOGO area, and Ball was forced to share Kuzma. In the face of Skal's defense, Kuzma raised his hands and turned left, Skal chose to retreat to block the left, but Kuzma bent down and pulled the ball to the right to break through, and Scarton lost his defense.
Unfortunately, Zhang Feng happened to be standing on Kuzma's route, and Kuzma could not break through and could only pass the ball back to Ball. The unguarded Ball hesitated with the ball, and only jumped up when Zhang Feng was about to reattach him to him.
The basketball took off at high speed, and the ball dad bent down and was about to applaud, but when the basketball slammed into the hoop, the ball dad could only put away his excited face and pretend to be okay and lean back on the seat again.
Willy grabbed the rebound and threw his arm at Zhang Feng, who made a long pass. Ball missed the shot and was eager to save face, and he chased Zhang Feng relentlessly. The two ran to the free throw line at high speed, Zhang Feng stopped to collect the ball, and Ball also followed the brakes. After failing to make a plan, Zhang Feng retreated, Ball flew up, and the corner of Zhang Feng's mouth raised a smile and stuck to Ball while hooking his hand to shoot.
2+1, the Kings home fans got up and cheered again, Ball turned around depressedly, and Mason stepped forward to celebrate with Zhang Feng's chest.
Added a penalty hit, Lopes served from the bottom line, Ball received the ball in the backcourt and passed directly to Kuzma in the half, Kuzma dribbled behind and rushed through the middle line, Ingram stepped forward to block and dismantle, and Kuzma drove straight in.
At this time, the Kings were unmanned inside, Willy was still on the left three-point line, Zhang Feng's eyes rolled, calculated in his heart, and gestured to Mason to bypass Pop and step forward to block.
Kuzma stopped the ball under the basket and feintmed to avoid Mason's interference, and when he really jumped, Zhang Feng had already caught up with him.
"Bang", the layup was covered, Kuzma's eyes were red, he was the same as Zhang Feng, he was a player who had been coached by Kobe, today he said that he couldn't lose the momentum, but fortunately, he punished the Lakers for the ball, and he had a chance to get back to the court immediately.
The Lakers reorganized the offense, Kuzma reached out for the ball with ruthlessness, and it happened that Zhang Feng was beside him, and he received the ball and directly set up a back hitting posture, trying to use his height advantage to bully Zhang Feng.
In the short corner area, the point guard defends the small forward, and the best choice is naturally to call his teammates to help defend, but Zhang Feng felt that Kuzma retreated directly at the moment of his strength, and his time node was too accurate, and Kuzma's center of gravity was unstable and took two steps.
Unfortunately, Kuzma made a mistake before passing the ball to Ball, and considering that Mason was too far behind Ball in terms of strength, Zhang Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help defend.
In the face of Zhang Feng's help defense, Ball instinctively wanted to pass the ball, but because the second attack time was only 14 seconds, he had to grit his teeth and make a hasty shot.
With a bang, Ball struck again, Zhang Feng smiled contemptuously at him, and the live camera captured this shot directly on the big screen on the scene, and the Kings fans laughed as they watched it.
What's even more interesting is that one fan held up a sign with a picture of Zhang Feng chuckling when he reversed the Wizards, and the text was written next to it: "Wang Zhi's contempt - you're finished!" ”。
