Throughout the history of the league, there is such a phenomenon, that is, some teams that people have the impression of being weak have performed well in the regular season, they have played back and forth with strong teams, and even once they were able to reach the top of the league, but once they came to the playoffs, they were targeted by various kinds and stopped the championship journey early, this dilemma is because they are generally strong in offense and weak in defense, and the offensive strength is often only a single player's strength.

For example, in the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 1.0 period, LeBron led Vallejo, Big Z and other players to kill all sides in the regular season, during which they became the first in the East many times, but the playoff record was very unsatisfactory.

In the 05-06 season, the Cavaliers went 50-32 in the regular season and ranked second in the East. That year, they beat the Wizards 4-2 in the first round, but lost seven games to the aging Pistons in the second round, and it can be said that the Pistons won that series completely on defense.

In the 06-07 season, the Cavaliers reached the playoffs with the same record and also defeated the Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals, but were eliminated 4-0 by the Spurs in the Finals.

From then until 2010, the Cavaliers repeated the regular season but couldn't go any further in the playoffs, with two knockouts by the Celtics and one by the Magic, even though they had 'Big Shark' O'Neal and top defensive player Big Ben in between.

It wasn't until LeBron left Miami that Cavaliers fans got angry and began to think about the problem. After looking at the overall situation, fans found that the Cavaliers have not had a good defensive system, relying on LeBron's single-defense deterrence, and those smart teams directly choose not to attack when attacking, or attack LeBron less, LeBron's defensive power is instantly weakened.

Although the king has not yet made the playoffs, Zhang Feng has a long-term view, so he plans to improve the strength of his teammates early, and he hopes to catch up with the playoffs before the playoffs, so that the king's defensive level can be improved to a higher level.

What I never expected was that the Pacers' targeting came so quickly, which could be the price of being first in the West.

There are many benefits to being the first place, and the benefits enjoyed will also increase, for example, Zhang Feng won the best of the month in the west, to a large extent, it is obtained by relying on the first bonus in the west, but as the so-called high place is not cold, becoming the first must also be valued by other teams, once it is valued, it will be studied, and once it is studied, it will expose a lot of shortcomings.

So even though Walton was the first coach to let the player take Zhang Feng away, McMillan was the first person to use this tactic against Zhang Feng and the Kings, as the head coach of the Pacers, he spent ten hours yesterday carefully studying the footage of the King's last four games, and finally he found the King's Achilles heel.

At this time, on the court, Zhang Feng was dribbling the ball to the front court, and when he reached the three-point line on the right side, he found that the defender was Darren Collisson, he bent down directly to control the ball, and with an acceleration change of direction, Darren Collison was thrown away by him, and he easily entered the inside line.

The Pacers players received instructions early in the morning, and McMillan told them that if Zhang Feng shoots on the outside, then he will defend alone, but as long as Zhang Feng enters the inside line, he will directly cover the area, which is not a clever tactic, but just to scare Zhang Feng so that Zhang Feng cannot cause too much damage to the inside.

When Zhang Feng rushed to the inside of the walkers, Sabonis was standing on the right side of the three-second zone, while Thaddeus Young was in the right corner, and Bojan near the free throw line was also eyeing him.

Oops! Zhang Feng looked around and found that the three of them were all moving towards him, and he secretly exclaimed in his heart.

In the next second, the three of them surrounded Zhang Feng in a triangle, Sabonis raised his hands and prepared to block, Thaddeus Yang bowed down to pick up the ball, and Boyan stretched out his arms to block Zhang Feng's change of direction.

For a while, the three of them left Zhang Feng with only two options, either jumping and shooting, or stopping to change hands to pass. Zhang Feng knew that strong shooting was the simplest, but in doing so, he set the tone for his singles in this game.

Just when Zhang Feng was frowning, he caught a glimpse of Bogdan quietly turning 45 degrees to the left, and he immediately took it to mind and decided to take the risk of passing the ball to Bogdan around the bottom line.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still room for the three of them, Zhang Feng ascended again and rushed to the bottom line in one step. Sabonis saw that he was shaken by Zhang Feng, and immediately turned around and stuck Willy, but Zhang Feng found an opportunity and had already distributed the ball to the outside, Bogdan received the ball and threw it, and hit a three-point shot.

"******" McMillan came out of his mouth an indescribable word, regretting that he had neglected Bogdan, and although the real responsibility was that Oladipo did not chase down in time, it was because he did not give an account of keeping an eye on Bogdan.

After the king scored, David breathed a sigh of relief, and the first cooperation was made, then the trend of this game would be completely different, Zhang Feng might not be crazy again, and the king's winning side suddenly increased greatly.

The Pacers continued to attack on the baseline, and Oladipo repeated his old trick and walked directly to the bottom left corner, and then smiled at Zhang Feng shyly, making it clear that he was saying: What can you do with me?

Zhang Feng really had no choice but to be anxious, seeing Collison holding the ball in a high position, the entire Pacers team except Oladipo was all running.

First, Sabonis covered in the high position, and Willy could only follow; Immediately after that, Bojan made a double wall to cover Collison, and Randolph was also pulled down to the outside; As a result, there was no one on the King's inside, Thaddeus Young accelerated and cut straight inside, Collison stopped and threw the ball, the two completed the air relay, and Thaddeus Young dunked and scored.

Although Justin was running with Thaddeus Young, his physical fitness was compared, and the aerial confrontation was simply squeezed out alive, and he bowed his head depressedly and ran to the backcourt.

Zhang Feng knew that he was unhappy when he saw Justin's expression, so he turned his head to attack and shook off Collison and attacked directly into the bottom right corner.

Thaddeus Young and Justin in the bottom right corner were entangled and grabbed positions, and Zhang Feng's sudden entry made Thaddeus Young have to give up entanglement and change defense to Zhang Feng. Seeing this, Justin immediately ran back, and he received a pass from Zhang Feng in an instant, and directly shot backwards at a 0-degree angle to score 2 points.

In the next few rounds, the Pacers attacked, Oladipo went straight to the bottom corner, and then Collison and other Pacers players completed the offense, Zhang Feng twice gave up defense without believing in evil, Oladipo directly hit 2 three-pointers, and the angry Zhang Feng did not dare to try again.

As for the king's offense, Zhang Feng played with Justin and Bogdan many times, although he didn't score every time, but he always had a tight score.

This situation lasted until the end of the first quarter, the Pacers couldn't stop the King, because Zhang Feng's breakthrough was too strong, Collison always passed in one step, and coincidentally, the King couldn't prevent the Pacers, because Oladipo self-abolished martial arts dragged Zhang Feng and successfully abolished Zhang Feng's bonus to the King in defense, and the two teams ended the first quarter and tied 28:28.

This kind of self-defeating tactics of the big man is a headache for the Kings, because their goal is much more difficult than that of the Pacers, and the direct consequence of this is that the physical strength of the whole team will have a big problem in the fourth quarter.
