Rondo has always been known for being good at brushing assists, especially in the case of the presence of a big center in the team, as long as the big center is casually dismantled, other players are not fools, they can easily send assists, he just got 25 assists this season, but tonight's game, played a whole quarter, his statistics in the assist column, the number is actually one.

This assist is still obtained by Moore's difficult pull-up backhand layup after receiving the ball, that is, the NBA's definition of assists is broad, and if it is placed in the international arena, Rondo can't even get this assist.

Why only one assist? Because the Pelicans' high-post blocking tactics were cracked by the King, to be precise, Zhang Feng was cracked, Zhang Feng according to the agreement of the pre-game meeting, whenever Rondo holds the ball, he starts to press from the backcourt.

Although he was not always able to make tackles, Rondo was also very uncomfortable, and he either found someone to cover without the ball in the backfield, or passed the ball after half-time. If you find someone to cover without the ball, the Pelicans will not be able to seize the opportunity in the offensive position, and if there is no first opportunity, it will be difficult to develop tactics, and if the tactics are not easy to develop, the offensive rate will be low, and naturally they will not be able to send assists. Passing the ball in the middle of the half, even if the Pelicans offense scores, often the last person who passes the ball is not Rondo, and of course he doesn't count assists.

If it's just like this, Rondo may still think it's nothing, after all, Zhang Feng defends him, and the pressure on other Pelican players will be a little less, but everything is afraid of comparison, and while he got an assist, Zhang Feng sent 7 assists in a single quarter.

When the two are compared, Rondo is dwarfed, not yet scoring, but assisting, so Rondo hates Zhang Feng to death in his heart at this time.

Rondo's hatred was not just a thought in his heart, and he took a pause in the interjuncture to hold the Pelicans players who were about to spread out after Kim Terry finished laying out the game.

"We can't play like this, Zhang Feng is too easy to play, we have to find a way to restrict him."

After Rondo finished speaking, an idea popped up in the hearts of other Pelican players: Standing and talking doesn't hurt in your waist, you can't prevent it yourself, who will defend it? Who the hell wants to be beaten up?

"Well, what do you suggest?" Kim Terry clasped his hands to his chest.

"I'd suggest Tony Allen," Rondo said as the person watching was Holiday looking, and his gaze was clearly suggesting that Holiday had given up his position.

"I'm okay with that, it's all about winning," Holiday snapped to speak.

"Okay, in that case, Aaron, you go up and defend Zhang Feng" Kim Terry waved his hand.

At the end of the timeout, the game between the two teams continued, the Kings possessed the ball, Zhang Feng advanced with the ball, and in the face of Tony Allen's close defense, he began to turn in succession at the halfway line.

After a few turns, Tony Allen was dizzy, and Zhang Feng took the opportunity to accelerate to the free throw line to collect the ball and make a shooting motion.

When Tony Allen is out of position, other Pelicans players naturally have to make up for it, but once they make up for it, other Kings players have an opportunity to shoot in the open space.

Solving the problem at hand is the most important thing, and Kim Terry stood on the sidelines and motioned to Darius, who gave up Bogdan and rushed to Zhang Feng.

When Dalius just rushed to a position 2 meters away from Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng turned into a pass, and the basketball flew to Bogdan's hand in an instant, Tony Allen hurriedly saved, but Tony Allen came from the middle line position, and it was completely too late, Bogdan received the ball and adjusted his posture without any scruples to shoot.

The three-point shot, the Smoothie King Center sounded boos, and the Pelicans fans were very dissatisfied, and it was better to lose 2 points than to lose 3 points.

The boos from the court made Kim Terry's face a little uncomfortable, and it was his decision to replace Tony Allen, but he didn't defend it in the first round; It was also his decision to direct Dalius to defend Zhang Feng, but it directly caused the team to lose 3 points.

However, the wood is already in the boat, and Tony Allen, who has just been replaced, cannot be replaced immediately, and even if he wants to change, he must wait until the free throw, otherwise he will call a timeout for substitution, and he will be booed to death by the Pelicans fans.

In the rematch, Rondo received the ball on the baseline and tried to speed up to get rid of Zhang Feng, but after a few attempts in vain, he had to gesture to Tony Allen and signal the opponent to cover for him.

It's not that Rondo can't take the ball through the half court under Zhang Feng's defense, but it is very time-consuming for him to force it over, and the offense is not easy to organize when the time comes.

But Pelican fans don't think so, in their eyes, Rondo's behavior is simply incomprehensible, a point guard, actually relied on teammates to cover many times to get through the half. Pelican fans won't get into the nitty-gritty of why, they're just responsible for boosing.

Rondo was already throwing a tantrum, the fans booed, he was anxious and annoyed, and without waiting for Tony Allen to be in place, he bent down to control the ball, accelerated to the start, and planned to bring the ball to the front court himself.

His center of gravity was pressed very low, Zhang Feng couldn't steal, so he could only follow closely, but when he got to the frontcourt, the disadvantages of his dribbling like this became apparent.

Due to the low pressure of the center of gravity, his vision is very bad, and Zhang Feng is standing in front of him and swaying, it is even more difficult to observe the Pelican players' running, he thought about standing up straight, but it is easy to be interfered with by Zhang Feng's hands.

What to do? Offensive time is losing by second, and Rondo is anxious. Luckily, Tony Allen was on his right side at this point.

The two had been teammates at Celtic and had a certain tacit understanding, and Tony Allen appeared on his right, which simply helped him a lot, and he quickly changed hands to pass the ball out.

Tony Allen received the ball, Hill stepped forward to defend, but by this time Davis was already standing at the top of the arc, and Tony Allen passed the ball sideways.

Davis holds the ball high and is a tactical rhythm that the Pelicans are very familiar with. Moore and Darius seized the opportunity to cross their positions, and each of them rushed from the left and right corners to the other's positions.

"Here is this set of ...... again" Seeing the running positions of Darius and Moore, Zhang Feng felt a little speechless, the Pelicans' tactics are clearly Davis's main attack, and the other runs are all feints, and the Pelicans have played so many times, but there is no improvement.

You know, Cousins is injured, if Cousins is not injured, Davis may not be able to return the pass to the basket, but now Davis can obviously only bite the bullet.

Since the other party only had one strategy, Zhang Feng unceremoniously rushed to the inside line and cooperated with Randolph to block Davis's way. Davis couldn't attack, and he could only stop the ball in the three-second zone.

When Davis turned around and wanted to pass the ball to the outside, Zhang Feng was quick and broke the ball directly.

"Do we have no other tactics than this set of tactics?" Tom, who had left the audience, sat in front of the TV in the team's dressing room, grimacing.

Dale stood aside and didn't dare to speak, and at this time he was already nine times out of ten sure in his heart - the boss wanted to fire the gold - Terry, it was not wise to say anything now.

But he didn't say anything, the TV "spoke", and TNT interspersed a piece of news.

The news is an interview with Kim Terry from a TNT reporter, and the reporter asked: The outside world has always suspected that Cousins' injury has something to do with too much playing time, and hopes that Kim Terry will respond.

Kim Terry on the TV blinked, then said loudly: "Cousins plays too long because of the needs of the team, and Davis is the same, if they get tired, they will definitely tell me, but for the sake of the team's victory, sometimes you have to play that long, and of course it's not good for players to get injured......"

"Turn off the TV, immediate dismissal – Terry, pay full salary, I don't want to see him again after tonight".

Tom almost finished saying this in a roaring tone, and Dale was stunned, he had never seen Tom so out of shape since he became the Pelicans' general manager.

Of course, he's never seen a manager sacked while still coaching, and Kim Terry is the first in history.
