Chapter 466: All Bullying Anthony
In the blink of an eye, the first quarter of the game between the two teams ended, and the Kings led the Thunder 28-25.
In various statistics, Zhang Feng scored 13 points and 4 assists, and Wei Shao, who was opposite him, scored only 4 points, but the number of assists was as high as 8. In terms of rebounding, Thunder center Adams grabbed nine rebounds, three of which were frontcourt boards, compared to Randolph's only two rebounds.
After a pause, David began to analyze the situation.
"It doesn't matter if we lose rebounds, you know, Adams grabs so many rebounds because he often gets out early, why does he get out so early? Because he knew that George and Anthony couldn't score. From this point, it is not difficult to find that the Thunder score by singles, Westbrook's 8 assists are basically in one step, and the Thunder team does not have too many passes. So we're going to continue to do the zone defense and keep our rhythm, you know? ”
"Understood! Coach," the Kings players nodded.
"But offensively, you can have some individual singles, lethal and stuff options, and they don't have a bench that we have as strong as we do, so it's also good for us to get their main players in foul danger."
After David finished speaking, the timeout ended, and the second quarter of the game between the two teams began, and the king attacked first.
After bringing the ball to the frontcourt, Zhang Feng found that the Thunder had changed their defensive strategy, and they used the same zone defense as the Kings, apparently frightened by Zhang's freewheeling breakthrough.
But the difference is that the Thunder use the classic 212 station area defense, clubbing Adams under the basket, Anthony and George in the left and right short corners, and Willow and Brewer outside the three-point line.
With such a position, no matter where Zhang Feng starts to break through, he can help defend and restrict it as soon as possible.
But in Zhang Feng's opinion, Thunder's strategy is a bit greedy, wanting to eat meat and not wanting to be beaten.
After a little thought, Zhang Feng thought of a solution, and he beckoned to Bogdan on the right flank, unabashedly trying to play an outside cover.
Immediately, the two ran to each other at the same time, and when they reached the top of the arc, Bogdan stopped Wei Shao, and Zhang Feng faced Brewer.
Seeing the moment the two were aligned, the Thunder coach on the sidelines was packed, and the defense was as strong as Wei Shao couldn't stop Zhang Feng, and Brewer was even more impossible.
Sure enough, without waiting for the thunder to adjust, Zhang Feng flashed sideways, strode past Brewer and went straight to the inside line, George and Anthony immediately shrank to the inside line, and Adams also stared with bated breath.
After taking a step into the free throw line, Zhang Feng immediately jumped. He held the basketball high in his right hand, clearly trying to dunk.
"This is also going to be deducted? The Thunder have 3 defensive ...... inside."
Before Barkley could finish speaking, O'Neill roared, "DAMN, it's too brutal!" ”。
"There was another penalty call, a referee gesture, and a foul was awarded to Adams, which wasn't good news for the Thunder, who relied on Adams to guard the interior," Kenny said.
This time, the fans at the scene were stunned, they knew that Zhang Feng was good at dunking, and they had seen Zhang Feng dunk the center of other teams many times, but they had never seen George and Anthony's defensive dunk Adams like just now.
At penalty time, Randolph gave Zhang Feng a thumbs up, and said shyly: "Men should be front-dunked, and only sissies should be dunked from behind."
Clearly, Randolph was haunted by Adams' shackling in the first quarter.
"What the hell are you talking about?" , the younger brother was ridiculed, and Anthony was the first to stand up and fight back.
"What did I say about your, you're not the boss of the team, what are you pretending to be, you haven't played in the playoffs for several years in a row, you're so excited?" Randolph continued to taunt.
"You bitch......" Anthony was so angry that he yelled.
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Feng had already thrown the free throw, and he held back his anger to grab the rebound. The location of the basketball landing point is closer to Randolph.
"I can't even grab it, so let's retire early!" Randolph taunted.
Anthony was furious and slapped Randolph's hands holding the ball, but Randolph gently stepped back, instantly moved away and passed the ball to Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng dribbled back to the half-court position. The Thunder suffered a loss just now, and this time they lost the defensive rebound, and Wei Shao hurriedly rushed to Brewer and Anthony in advance, looking like he was asking for help in defense.
Originally, he didn't plan to attack Brewer, but seeing Anthony nodding at Weishao, Zhang Feng immediately changed his mind, and he waved at Bogdan again, and Bogdan ran towards him in understanding.
After changing defenses, Zhang Feng faced Brewer again, and he easily got rid of it with a false shake and rushed to the inside.
Sure enough, Anthony came up to help defend him, and Zhang Feng immediately stopped and raised the basketball ball to shoot.
It's a pity that Anthony was not fooled, he just stood in place and stretched out his hand to interfere, Zhang Feng could only pretend to do it and throw the ball out.
Fortunately, the rhythm was broken, and the shooting still hit, and the Kings led by 8 points.
The Thunder attacked, Major Wei took the ball across the half court, and Adams stepped forward to block and dismantle. With the help of cover, Wei Shao took a step away from Zhang Feng and rushed to the inside, but was blocked by Randolph, who retreated early, and could only pass the ball to Anthony in the short corner on the left.
Directly with his back, the singles experienced get the ball and immediately paste it on Lefou.
The two are in position, Anthony's height, weight, arm span, and skill all crush Lefou, and the only disadvantage is that the traverse speed is slower when he is older.
Lefou, knowing this, twisted his body to block the baseline and prevent Anthony from turning around and slipping to the baseline for a layup. At the same time, it left high space for Anthony, tempting him to move from the front to the basket.
Sure enough, after Anthony topped three times in a row, he stepped out with his left foot, followed with his right foot, and rushed to the basket.
Originally, he was not fast, and he was even slower to dribble, but Lefu dodged, stabbed diagonally, and made a steal.
Anthony shook his head in annoyance, then took a step to chase the court.
In the face of the King's fast break, the Thunder can only see who holds the ball and defends whom, after the basketball has shifted several times, it falls into the hands of Justin, and the defender of Justin is Anthony who came from the backcourt.
"Vote, he can't prevent you" Zhang Feng tilted his head and shouted.
As a player who positioned the defense, Justin was still hesitating, but after hearing this, he immediately pulled out his hand, and Anthony, who was defending him, jumped up and blocked it slightly.
The reason why it is said to be a slight jump is because when Justin made a shot, it was not expected by Anthony at all, he obviously didn't expect Justin to dare to shoot, and when he reacted, he could only act as a defense.
"Bang dang", the basketball hit the circle into the net, the King's lead reached 11 points, and Donovan on the sidelines got up and sat down, seemingly resisting the urge to call a timeout.
"Everyone in this king bullied Anthony, first Zhang Feng ignored his defensive dunk Adams, then Randolph unscrupulously spewed him trash talk, and Love easily snatched the ball from his hand" Barkley shook his head and smiled wryly.
"It's all fine, they're all stars or veterans, but it's just that Justin should be cutting points on Anthony's head at will," Kenny also felt very undeserved.
"This is all his own doing, why did Zhang Feng detain Adams and help defend him? Did it work? Randolph sprayed Adams, why does he care? Stand out for the little brother? Lefu can steal because he lacks explosiveness, and Justin can score because he despises rookies and doesn't even raise his hand, so why don't others dare to shoot? O'Neill's face was full of disdain.
