Chapter 456: Maybe Bobo is right
As soon as Mason's Twitter was sent, thousands of messages were received in an instant, and Kings fans finally breathed a sigh of relief, but in order to confirm Zhang Feng's injury, there were still tens of thousands of fans who left messages to ask, and Zhang Feng had to tweet his own explanation.
He said it himself, the odds of the kings vs. the Spurs in the major spinach markets have been adjusted one after another, and official pushers such as TNT and NBATV have also re-predicted the score of the playoffs.
Almost everyone believes that the king with Zhang Feng will easily defeat the Spurs.
Just 2 hours after Zhang Feng's tweet, the Spurs' transit arrived at Sacramen Airport, and Popovich also learned the news of his comeback, and in the face of an interview with paparazzi reporters, Popovich responded uncharacteristically.
"I'm very happy to see Zhang Feng return from injury, otherwise we would have won the playoffs and might have been considered a fluke by the fans."
Before the paparazzi reporter asked the question, he had expected that Popovich would not answer well, but he didn't expect that Popovich would change his 'modest' image over the past 20 years and directly release cruel words.
Fast forward to the next afternoon, and Golden One Arena was full of Kings fans inside and out, many of whom were waiting for the Kings players to show up outside the players' tunnel.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the players of the two teams began to enter, and the onlookers welcomed them.
According to the usual practice, after the rest of the Kings team entered the court, Zhang Feng and David stayed outside for further interviews.
"What do you two think about what Popovich said yesterday?"
"As a player, I worked very hard against every opponent I met on the pitch, both offensively and defensively. I think Popovich's remarks are exaggerated, the NBA has never been lucky, and I don't know why he thinks he's going to win."
"Well, Popovich should be joking, we don't have to take it seriously, we all know that he's a very good head coach and the Spurs are ...... under his leadership."
David praised and continued to speak for almost a minute, and the reporters at the scene let the two people leave, but the words of the two instantly spread to all corners of the world, and Kenny and Barkley, who were commentators on the scene, also frowned.
"Yesterday Bobo told the truth, today Zhang Feng also told the truth, it is said that both of them should speak in an official way, is it possible that both sides are not used to it, and they are holding back their strength to each other" Barkley's tone was full of curiosity.
"This is the playoffs, everyone is really working, Zhang Feng and Popovich are both determined to win, and they can't say anything if they deliberately compliment each other, so it's better to tell the truth," Kenny laughed.
'It's going to depend on how the two teams play, the game starts, let's take a look at the line-up,' said Barkley.
On the field, the players of both teams have finished their positions, Zhang Feng on the defensive line, Bogdan against Mills, Justin against Kyle Anderson on the front line, Love against Ade, and Randolph and Gasol on the middle circle.
As the referee tossed the ball, the two people in the center circle made a "haya" at the same time, and after a closer look, Randolph flicked the ball to the back.
Not surprisingly, Zhang Feng got the ball, and he suddenly started and accelerated like a supercar, heading straight to the basket.
Suddenly such a hand, not to mention the Spurs, even the Kings were not ready, so they could only watch Zhang Feng rush to the basket.
Fortunately, Gasol has a lot of experience, and he is not chaotic, and before Zhang Feng rushes into the paint area, he moves sideways and stands still, intending to make an offensive foul.
But Zhang Feng didn't look at it, and instantly made a post-turn layup and easily scored 2 points. The audience reacted and immediately burst into applause, and Popovich on the sidelines suddenly turned black. Parker on the bench had a complicated expression, Zhang Feng's action just now was one of his famous stunts, but it was used on the Spurs.
Yibian Spurs attacked, Murray dribbled the ball across the half court, and Ade covered in the elbow area, but he still did not get rid of Zhang Feng's interference, and Gasol continued to cover in the elbow area.
Under the delay of the two major inside lines, Murray finally got rid of Zhang Feng, but in the face of Randolph, who changed the defense, he did not take any advantage, but passed the ball to Ade, who was dismantled and smooth.
At this time, the player defending Ade is Zhang Feng, in the elbow area, with Ade's height and arm span, as long as the basketball does not fall to the ground when he moves, Zhang Feng has absolutely no chance.
Ade received the ball with his left hand and raised it high, and after taking two big steps, he threw the ball to the hoop as if it were on fire.
"Slap", in the next second, the basketball was fanned by Zhang Feng, and cheers rang out again at the scene, but the referee blew the whistle and signaled that Zhang Feng interfered with the ball and violated the column, and Ade's goal was valid.
"It's a pity that the dance is a little slower," Zhang Feng sighed in his heart.
The Yibian Kings attacked again, and Zhang Feng encountered Murray's close defense in the half, but he took the ball to the top of the arc as if there was no pressure at all, and then handed it to Lefu in the low post on the left.
Lefu 'Bang Bang Bang' made three consecutive moves, and the feint successfully deceived Ade, and then he wiped the board and shot, and the referee whistle sounded, and it became a 2+1.
The Spurs attacked again, still the old routine of elbow double blocking, Gasol immediately dismantled after the end of the cover, he raised his hands to signal to Murray, as if he wanted to take advantage of his height and reach to catch the ball and shoot before Randolphka.
Love who had wanted to switch defenses directly, and Murray had to pass the ball to Aldridge.
It may have been covered once before, although it was a jamming ball, but Ade had palpitations, and he was a little hesitant when he got the ball. Randolph immediately posted it, and squeezed his eyebrows and motioned for Zhang Feng to wrap it together.
encountered a bag, Ade had no choice but to pass the ball back, Mori received the ball and hurriedly shot without saying anything, and was interfered with by Zhang Feng, who turned to pounce.
'Duang', the shot hits the iron, and Lefoux and Gasol both jump up and grab the board almost at the same time, but the direction of the basketball is closer to Lefou.
got the rebound, Lefu turned around and pushed the ball to Zhang Feng, but the Spurs returned to defense very quickly and couldn't play a fast break.
At the top of the arc, Zhang Feng gestured, 4 outside and 1 inside tactics, and the king and everyone immediately began to run, and before the blink of an eye, only Randolph was left under the basket.
After the positioning, Zhang Feng began to dribble under his crotch, and Murray took a deep breath to put on a defensive posture.
But at this moment, Justin, who was 45 degrees on the right side of the three-point line, shook off Kyle Anderson and rushed straight to the basket, and Zhang Feng immediately hit the ground and passed.
Justin received the ball in the short corner on the right side, and he didn't hesitate to pull out his hand and the basketball hollowed into the net.
"This may be the role of Zhang Feng, with him and without him, the king is completely two teams. As soon as he returned, Love dared to make sharp technical moves, Randolph could call for the bag without hesitation, and Justin saw the opportunity to shoot immediately, and played very championship-looking" Barkley nodded with satisfaction.
"Maybe Bobo is right, if they win against the Kings without Zhang Feng, the fans will definitely say that they are lucky, take this game as an example, if it weren't for that interference ball just now, the Kings would have led 7-0 in less than 2 minutes, and the Spurs would have played back and forth with a high-post two-gear tactic," Kenny said.
