The reason why O'Neal said that the King's defensive strategy was taught by Kobe Bryant is based on two reasons, one is that Kobe and Zhang Feng are very familiar, and the other is that the absolute brain of the King in the arena is Zhang Feng.

But Barkley believes that this is just an online rumor, and the reason why the Nuggets are playing like this is entirely because their perimeter players are locked up by Zhang Feng, and he doesn't think this is the King's deliberate choice of the so-called "Kobe-style defensive strategy".

Both of them are speculating, and they can only inform the TNT reporters on the front line that they must ask Zhang Feng this question after the game, and finally bet that whoever loses will shut up once in the future live commentary, and can only rely on gestures to express the content of the commentary.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Nuggets re-sent the starting lineup, but the tactical strategy was still to focus on the front, Millsap continued to score easily, and Malone nodded frequently from the sidelines, this is the big man basketball he wants.

Halfway through the third quarter, the two teams were tied and entered the official timeout.

Zhang Feng put down the drink and said lightly: "It's time to wrap Millsap."

"No problem," Willy nodded in agreement.

"That, in fact, I can defend him alone, but you asked him to fight before, and I didn't defend it hard" Randolph still didn't forget to brag about himself.

The whole team couldn't hold back a smile, and Zhang Feng continued noncommittally: "We also have to increase our defensive intensity on the outside, forcing them to make mistakes, so that we can play a wave to take away the game."

Buddy nodded silently, and at the same time the entire Kings team was slightly excited, they already felt the power of this tactic.

The official timeout ended, the two teams returned to the court, and the Nuggets kicked off.

Murray stopped the ball when he reached the three-point line, Harris took Buddy to the baseline, and Nikola on the inside took a big step directly outside the paint area, and the three of them pulled up a huge space for Millsam to play alone.

As soon as Millsap received the ball, Zhang Feng signaled for the bag with a deflection movement, Buddy directly defended Harris and pasted it, and at the same time, Randolph directly cut the ball.

In an instant, Millsap was caught one after the other before he could make a breakthrough stance, and the inertia made him want to struggle, but this second of hesitation directly caused him to neither pass nor dribble.

After several struggles, the referee blew the whistle for a dead ball, and Millsap and Randolph scramble for the free-throw line.

"If Willy and Millsap are still a little hopeful for the king, why can Randolph get the ball, this bag doesn't do anything," Malone laughed at the thought of pacing from the sidelines.

The two stood in position, the others also dispersed, the referee blew the whistle to throw the ball, Millsap jumped up and down noticeably faster, and Randolph certainly couldn't catch up.

Knowing that Randolph didn't jump at all, Millsap dialed the ball in Harris's direction in the air, slightly confused.

This round of balls, Zhang Feng, Randolph, and Buddy moved at the same time, and they formed a triangle to directly surround Harris, and Randolph took the ball in his hand.

This tactic stunned the audience, how could there be a jump ball without fighting and directly outflanking the receiver?

This requires accurate judgment of the direction of the ball and quick judgment by the defender, and if any of these moves are not done, it is equivalent to giving the ball away.

Although Millsap was unwilling, he could only run to the backfield silently.

Wrapping Millsap is only the first step, and the second step is to hit the outside line, so that Millsap's stomach is full of unhappiness and nowhere to vent.

After receiving the ball, Zhang Feng directly pasted Mori on the three-point line, the gap between the two physical fitness was really a bit big, and Murray was squeezed back again and again by Zhang Feng, miserable.

"Assist defense, assist defense" Millsap, as the big name of the team, commanded Harris to come forward to help.

That's what I wanted! Harris had just taken 2 steps to this side, and Zhang Feng made a hanging pass and gave the ball to Buddy.

Unguarded, Buddy calmly raised his hand to shoot and hit a 3-pointer.

"What the hell," Millsap complained, feeling that he shouldn't have passed the ball to Harris, and that the defense didn't know how to take the initiative to help the defense.

Harris heard Millsap's complaints, and his heart was like thousands of divine beasts whistling by, he felt that he hadn't played in three quarters, a whole quarter, and he basically couldn't touch the ball during the playing time, and now he was still taking the blame.

Isn't it to blame Murray for not being able to prevent it at all?

Malone is also worried at this time, he doesn't like Moodier, but Murray can't prevent Zhang Feng at all, if it continues like this, the Nuggets will definitely lose.

Although aware of the problem, Malone still wants to observe it again.

The Nuggets attacked again, Millsap was not caught this time, but was directly defended by Randolph, the two fought hand-to-hand to grab the position, Randolph suddenly fell to the ground, the referee whistled to fake a fall, and the king got the ball.

"TF" Millsap was still slashing points before the big kill, and suddenly he was deflated continuously, he couldn't help but be rude, but the referee ignored him, he was unwilling, and continued to step forward to theorize: "Please, he is a fake fall, can't you see it?" ”

When he made such a fuss, the referee stopped and said, "If you swear again, you will get a technical foul."

The referee did not explain whether Randolph faked the fall, but warned Millsap, which made him so angry that he almost became angry, and Wilson saw that the situation was not good, and quickly pulled him away.

When it was the king's turn to attack, Zhang Feng still beat Murray, the same move, the same position, Murray had no choice, Zhang Feng passed him and then entered the interior line, and made a successful layup against Millsam.

The goal sent Malone out of the timeout, and the Nuggets replaced him with Moodier. Although Malone was worried that Moodier would continue to play singles, he would lose the match if he couldn't prevent Zhang Feng, which left him with no choice.

However, Moodier's appearance did not change the situation on the court, Zhang Feng still played the Nuggets outside, and his super personal ability made the Nuggets have to choose the outside line to assist in defense, but as long as he assisted in defense, Zhang Feng passed the ball to Buddy, or ran out of the vacant Justin, and the two of them completed the shooting.

As a result, the Nuggets' interior line is ineffective defensively.

When the Nuggets attacked, Millsap either couldn't catch the ball, or was immediately caught after receiving the ball, and the pass to the outside Moodier and Harris didn't feel good, and they hit the iron one after another, and the Nuggets were at a stalemate for a while.

The Kings took advantage of the opportunity to play a wave of 16-0**, and by the end of the third quarter, the Kings were leading 86-70.

In the last quarter, the Nuggets were already in turmoil, everyone began to go it alone, Moodier's crazy outside singles Zhang Feng was not in the game and was replaced, his replacement Mori couldn't break through Zhang Feng at all, Zhang Feng could only play the role of dribbling through the half, and Millsap was interfered with by Randolph's kraft candy style and the single was inefficient.

On the contrary, on the king's side, under the leadership of Zhang Feng, he played rigorously and reasonably, and took more and more leads.

In the last 3 minutes, the Nuggets knew that the tide was gone, so they switched to the third lineup and gave up the game.

After winning the game, Zhang Feng was rated as the MVP of the whole game, standing on the sidelines and being interviewed by reporters.

"Come, come, let's see what Zhang Feng says" TNT live broadcast room, Barkley and O'Neal are full of anticipation.

"Hello, Zhang Feng, first of all, congratulations on winning this game," TNT's reporter said with a smile.

"Thank you," Zhang Feng nodded slightly.

"We noticed that you suddenly changed your defensive strategy late in the third quarter and it worked well, was that intentional?" TNT's correspondent gets straight to the point.

"Well, that's true," Zhang Feng continued to nod.

"So where did you learn this defensive strategy?" The reporter asked expectantly.

"This is the Kobe-style defensive secret I learned from the Internet, and now it seems that this secret is very effective," Zhang Feng smiled.

O'Neill's eyebrows furrowed happily at this answer, while Barkley looked frustrated, trying to find a reason to refute it.
