Chapter 197: Angry Marlon
may be because he scored 5 top ten goals against the Spurs in the preseason, and Zhang Feng is now playing full of snasty operations.
This long pass just now was an adventure, and he knew that Willy would not be able to catch it, but he still passed it, in order to have a wonderful shot, and it became a rhythm that fans added.
But now that it doesn't work, then it can only endure being criticized for a few waves, which leads to a bad start for the team.
However, David didn't seem to care at all, but Malone roared:
"Harris, do you think you're shooting better from three-point range than from layup? I'm afraid you're not losing your mind."
Mike Malone has always focused on the basket offense, so whether it is in the Kings or the Nuggets, Cousins and Millsap have played very well, at the beginning of the 16 season, the Kings have a good record, but at the beginning of the 16th season, the Kings management wanted to copy the Warriors model, playing small-ball tactics, but was opposed by Malone, and then was swept away
Now he sees Harris shoot a three-pointer, and he is very unhappy, not only because the shot missed, but also because he sees Zhang Feng so witty, which seems to prove that the Kings management made the right decision.
The past is unbearable, and Malone can't yell at others, only Harris.
Harris's immediate reaction to being yelled at was that he didn't dare to hold the ball, and Murray's pass he immediately gave to Millsap, directly giving up the big empty space in front of him.
Millsap was stunned for a moment, reacted and wanted to take off slightly, and then began to play with his back to the single, Randolph pushed hard to top him, and finally he could only barely turn over and shoot a jumper, but he was pleasantly surprised to hit the shot.
The Kings have failed to make two consecutive attacks, and Zhang Feng decided to do the ball himself. After changing hands under his crotch several times, Mori couldn't keep up with Zhang Feng's rhythm directly, and was shaken to the ground, and Zhang Feng jumped up and down in a chic manner.
With a clang, the shot hits the iron, Mills Sapka leads Willy, and Nikola grabs the rebound.
hat? What about a 50% increase in shooting percentage after hitting a player? Why did you strike iron?
With doubts and unwillingness, Zhang Feng started to run to the backfield, and he decided to do it again.
The Nuggets attacked, Murray controlled the ball and wanted to give it to Millsap on the left side of the paint area, but Zhang Feng saw through the intention and intercepted it directly, and the basketball was touched and deviated from the established track and rolled to the feet of Harris.
Although Buddy's defense was a little pitted, he was still quite conscious of grabbing the ball, and he pounced directly and hugged the basketball.
Harris was stunned for a second before he reacted and threw himself on the ground, but unfortunately the ball was passed directly to Zhang Feng.
Murray couldn't catch up with Zhang Feng's fast down, so he could only watch him score an easy layup.
A player, in the face of the enemy's fast attack, can defend it for the time being, but if the attitude is not taken out, it will be a headache, plus Harris's slow reaction a second ago, Nuggets head coach Malone laughed angrily.
"What the hell are you thinking?" Malone yelled at the arena.
None of the Nuggets players dared to respond, and Wilson Chandler silently walked to the backcourt to send the ball to Harris.
In this attack, Murray still gave the ball to Millsap according to the established tactics, and the angry Millsap forced Randolph to score 2 points, but Zhang Feng easily hit a three-pointer as soon as he turned his head.
Malone couldn't help it, and he called a timeout.
"Guys, can you concentrate when you're on the field, especially Murray and Harris, don't you let Zhang Feng's random interception and passing, random goals, and random fast breaks?"
How well a player performs on the court can not only refer to the past average, but also to refer to who the opponent is, just like Lonzo Ball, who doesn't seem to be able to play in the face of Beverley's defense, but he almost won a triple-double against the Suns.
Now Morrie is against Zhang Feng, who is the one who does not fall behind Kobe and Irving, and of course head coach Malone also knows this truth, but his behavior today makes the Nuggets players feel very weird.
Morry and Harris both lowered their heads to listen to Malone's lecture, and finally a short timeout ended, and the two were replaced, and the two suddenly felt bitter and couldn't speak.
The game restarted, and the Nuggets point guard changed to Moodier.
Zhang Feng Moodier was well impressed, knowing that he had played for the Guangdong team in order to help his family earlier, although that could have come at the cost of a lower draft pick.
Fortunately, in the '15 draft, Moodier was selected by the Nuggets with the seventh pick in the first round, and he performed well in the first few games of his rookie season, but because Malone mainly played interior tactics, he didn't get a good chance to work.
Worst of all, his performance in his first year was not recognised by the team's hierarchy and was plagued by injuries, which led to the team selecting Jamal Mori with the same pick in '16, and he was soon squeezed out of the starting line-up.
Thinking that Moodier had embroidered the Chinese logo on his suit on draft night, Zhang Feng decided to lower the defensive level against him and let him easily score more than ten points, but another reason for this is to disrupt Malone's main forward tactics, reduce the defensive pressure on Randolph and Justin, and maybe disrupt the Nuggets' morale and kill two birds with one stone.
Think about it, when your backcourt players have a super high shooting percentage, will you continue to stick to the front line?
Moodier took control of the ball to the frontcourt, and Millsap immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball, but when he was about to pass the ball, he found that Zhang Fengli was about 1 meter away and had no intention of pounce.
The temptation is just around the corner, to vote or not to vote? Moodier thought for a second, but Malone's roar still made him pass the ball.
To Moodier's regret, Millsap was cut by Randolph as soon as he started dribbling. In a hurry, Millsap dribbled the ball to his feet, and the mistake was caught by Buddy, and the Kings managed to grab the basketball.
After the king successfully scored, the Nuggets attacked again, but Zhang Feng was still unguarded.
With Millsap's ball on one side and Zhang Feng's undefended on the other, Moodier struggled fiercely in his heart, and he decided to throw.
The ball is in! Moodier celebrated with his hands held aloft.
Malone raised an eyebrow and didn't say anything, although he didn't follow his set tactics, but Moodier did face a big opening, and there was nothing wrong with this shooting choice.
Although coaches often say that offense drives defense, the Nuggets don't seem to be in this ranks, and the Kings offense scored 2 points easily again, and even 3 Kings players did not participate in this offense.
Doing things is often a raw and two ripe, in the face of Zhang Feng's third time to put one meter, Moodier didn't even want to think about it, and directly pulled it out.
It seemed that good luck was on Moodier's side tonight, and this time he hit another three-point shot, and he scored six straight points to help the Nuggets equalize the score, and the fans at PepsiCenter applauded, and some even started chanting MVP.
After a few more rounds, the two sides seemed to stick to the rules, Zhang Feng put Moodier one meter, and turned around to decide that all of them would not guard against the king.
Although Malone was itched by the situation, the score that decided to lead left him speechless.
