407 The New Army War

The game with his old club Spurs is over, and Jin Feng, who scored 39 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in the whole game, has played well enough, but there is still a gap between the overall strength of the king and the Spurs, and he regrettably lost the game in the end.

Of course, all fans who watched this game knew that the Spurs were only narrowly won, and if it weren't for Bertans' controversial decision, they would have really followed in the footsteps of the Miami Heat, and the Kings beat them in an upset.

The outcome of the game will not change, so even if there was a lot of talk about the controversial decision after the game, it didn't help.

………

In the first two games of the new season, they met the top teams in the league in a row, which made the Kings once mired in public opinion of consecutive defeats.

But now, one win and one loss, a victory is a big victory, and a loss is a small loss, and the king has slapped many people in the face.

Therefore, at this time, invisibly, many people have begun to pay attention to the next game.

For example, they will be at home to the Denver Nuggets two days later.

The Denver Nuggets are now led by superstar Jokic and are a very strong team on the inside, in addition, the outside point guard Jamal Murray has also grown rapidly in the past two seasons, as if he is running for All-Star players, plus players such as Farid and Millsap, the overall strength of this Nuggets is also optimistic that they can steadily qualify for the playoffs and make a difference in the playoffs

Therefore, this game is also a huge test for the Kings, and it is difficult to restrain Jokic in the Kings lineup alone.

However, on the other hand, the king is not without strong points, at least at the point of Jin Feng on the outside, they have a lot of confidence.

The Kings have more or less proved to people through the two games that have ended in the new season that this King is not a soft persimmon, in addition to the hot state of the team's core Jin Feng, such as Fox, who was questioned before the start of the game, also played a two-eyed performance, and Randle, who also just joined the team, also integrated well with the team, so, for now, this King can definitely make a difference in the new season.

Of course, from another point of view, this game is to a certain extent a peak duel between the two superstars of Jin Feng and Jokic, who plays better has a lot of influence on whether the team can win in the end, even if one of the two is inside and the other is outside.

For the game against the Nuggets in two days, the Kings are full of confidence, although the team is still in the run-in period, but after two games, at least one thing has been proved, this new team can now play on the offensive end.

Therefore, the meaning conveyed by head coach Jason Kidd in the pre-game preparation is very clear, and the problems that can be solved with offense are solved by offense.

Of course, as we all know, today's Nuggets team is a really hands-off team, whether it is Jokic and Farid on the inside, or Jamal Murray and Chandler on the outside, they all have good defensive ability.

Kidd also did a lot of work against the Nuggets' super defense, such as using Jin Feng's personal top breakthrough ability and the infinite transfer of the entire team to disrupt the Nuggets' letting go, for example, to cut off the connection between Jamal Murray and the interior as much as possible.

Overall, the Kings are serious about preparing for the game as they want to win this game at home.

Two days later, the Kings' home arena, Arco Arena, accompanied by players from both sides, and cheers suddenly rang out like a shock.

"Tick!" With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

The starting lineup on the Kings' side: Kouvers, Randle on the inside, Jackson on small forward, Jin Feng on scoring guard, and Fox on point guard.

On the other side, the Nuggets are Jokic and Millsap on the inside, the small forward is Wells Chandler, the scoring guard Barton, and the point guard Jamal Murray.

Jokic jumped the ball to give the Nuggets the first offense, and when he came to halftime, he played with Murray and received a teammate's split shot in the high post.

On the other side, Fox also played with Randle, but Fox did not pass the ball back to Randle, but directly took the ball to the inside.

As Jason Kidd set up before the game, the Nuggets were very attentive to their interior defense, and their defense immediately began to shrink after seeing Fox break through.

The Kings' players started to run actively, and Fox also kept in mind Jason Kidd's tactical arrangement, and the ball was distributed to the bottom right corner, and Jin Feng hit a three-point shot after receiving the ball.

The Nuggets launched an attack again, Murray and Jokic continued to block and dismantle, Murray tried to distribute the ball to Jokic again, but this time it was judged by Fox and directly stealed to complete the counterattack.

At this point, the Kings began to show how well they were targeted before the game, and after Jokic completed the first round of offense, the Nuggets defended several times in the next few attacks.

On the offensive end, Randle and Fox hit shots after blocking and pick-and-roll, and Jackson took advantage of both shots by passing the ball, and also hit a three-pointer. Jin Feng obviously didn't attack much in the opening stage of the game.

At 6:15, five minutes into the game, the Kings had a lead of nine points. The two teams began to send substitutes at this time, with the Spurs hoping that the main players could get more rest, while the Nuggets replaced their sixth-man veteran Harris in the hope of improving the offense.

However, it is clear that the Kings' state today has captured the lifeblood of the Nuggets on both the offensive and defensive ends, and the gap between the two sides has not narrowed after both teams have made adjustments.

At 10:21, with four minutes left in the first quarter, the Kings' lead had reached 11 points.

The Nuggets attacked, Murray controlled the ball to the front court and tried to put it in the hands of Millsap, but at this time, Millsap was entangled by Dedmon and couldn't receive the pass.

Falling in the bottom corner of the right side to defend Chandler, Jin Feng also paid attention to Millsap and Dedmon, who were on the left side of the meat, ready to help defend at any time.

Dedmon is a defensive giant, Millsap has strong physical fitness, so the entanglement between these two people can be regarded as a flat wind, of course, using a more flexible body, Dedmon gradually gained an advantage, Dedmon chose to go around the front at this time, which made Millsap very distressed.

Murray didn't dare to throw the ball too high at this time, after all, Millsap, who is about to turn 35 now, is really not very good at bouncing, and his flexibility is not too strong.

Millsap also knew that the first thing to get rid of Dedmon was to get rid of Dedmon's entanglement, so after squeezing Dedmon away, he quickly turned and stepped towards the basket, while reaching out to signal Murray to pass the ball.

Murray did pass the ball at this point, but fearing that he would be intercepted by Dedmon, he obviously passed the ball a little higher, and Millsap had to take another step forward before reaching for the basketball.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly burst out of the air, and when Millsap was about to catch the ball, a pair of big hands had already taken the first step and lightly tapped the basketball.

Jin Feng! Chandler, who was originally defending the bottom corner, had been paying attention to Millsap's help, and after seeing that Murray's passing was too powerful, he quickly rushed to the inside.

Although he couldn't take the ball off the top of Millsap's head directly, relying on his outstanding speed and bounce, Jin Feng lit up the basketball one step ahead of Millsap in the air.

After landing on the ground, he jumped up quickly again, Jin Feng showed his superhuman speed at this time, Millsap had not fully recovered from his senses, he had already jumped into the air again, and took off the rebound in one fell swoop.

Counterattack! After getting the ball, Jin Feng quickly rushed to the other half with the ball.

The Nuggets' positional defense is very good, so in the pre-game arrangement, Jason Kidd emphasized the need to pass the ball more, and another point is to resolutely counterattack!

As a defensive powerhouse, the Nuggets also do a great job of countering defense, with their players dropping back very quickly, with the exception of Millsap.

Millsap, who was moving slowly, was left far behind by Jin Feng at this time, which also made the king's frontcourt form a five-to-four situation.

Such a good opportunity, Jin Feng naturally would not let it go, and quickly advanced to the three-point line with the ball, and then he continued to kill the inside line without slowing down.

The Nuggets chose to shrink their defense at this time, and the two players stopped directly in front of Jin Feng, seeing this, Jin Feng quickly passed the ball back to Randle outside the three-point line.

The ball was thrown outside the three-point line, and the two players who had originally shrunk the defense of Jin Feng immediately rushed out to the outside, after all, all four players of the Kings were outside the three-point line at this time, and Randle and Rudy Gay could both shoot three-pointers.

"Bang!"

In the face of Chandler's pounce, Rudy Gay's ball smashed out of the basket, but the scene still broke out into huge cheers at this time!

Several Nuggets players rushed outside, but Jin Feng didn't have it at this time, and after passing the ball to Rudy Guy outside the three-point line, Jin Feng continued to rush towards the basket.

After seeing Rudy Guy's shot smash on the basket and bounce up, Jin Feng, who rushed forward, immediately jumped high.

"Bang!"

With his right hand, he reached to the right side and grabbed the basketball that was about to fly to the side in his hand, Jin Feng grabbed the ball with one hand and pulled it back violently, and pressed it directly back into the basket in front of him, and made up for it!

The Kings counterattacked, the Nuggets relaunched the offense, Murray still tried to put the ball in Millsap's hands, but still unsuccessful, Dedmon stuck to Millsap's body like a dogskin plaster, so that Millsap couldn't catch the ball at all.

The ball was in Chandler's hands, and when the combination between Murray and Millsap couldn't play and Jokic wasn't on the court, Chandler was the Nuggets' first choice to play offense.

Chandler took the ball, and Jin Feng also posted it to interfere as soon as possible, and for Chandler, it was obviously not easy to get rid of Jin Feng's defense.

The Kings players also knew that Jin Feng was fully capable of defending Chandler, so no one stepped forward to help defend at all. As a result, the other Nuggets players naturally couldn't have the opportunity to shoot in the open space, because it had taken a lot of time to pass the ball to Millsap before, and Chandler saw that there was little time left to attack, so he had to choose to attack by himself.

"Bang!"

In the face of Jin Feng's defense, Chandler's turnaround shot bounced out of the basket, Dedmon grabbed the rebound, and the Spurs counterattacked again.

This time it was George Hill who was responsible for launching a counterattack, although George Hill did not have such an impact as Jin Feng, after all, he was a veteran, experienced, and full of feints, and Murray, who was responsible for defense, was accidentally hit and fouled.

At 10:24, with George Hill hitting two free throws, the difference between the two sides suddenly widened to 14 points.

At this time, the Nuggets finally had a chance to put the ball in the hands of Millsap, and the effect was immediate, Millsap, who received the ball, forcibly squeezed Dedmon under the basket and put the basket into the hand, and at the same time caused Dedmon's foul and completed the three-point shot.

The king attacked, George Hill controlled the ball to the half court and handed it to Jin Feng, the king made up his mind today to attack the outside line, and in this lineup, Jin Feng is the player with the strongest breakthrough ability, so at this time, the task of breaking through and disrupting the opponent's defense line was also handed over to Jin Feng.

After receiving George Hill's pass, he shook to the left, and Jin Feng immediately quickly started to kill the basket from the right side.

Chandler's defensive ability is outstanding, but his defensive ability is more reflected in the help defense, and as he gets older, his one-on-one defensive ability is not as good as it was back then.

Jin Feng shook and accelerated forward to find a breakthrough opportunity from Chandler's side, but Chandler tried to break the ball from behind with his long arm when Jin Feng rushed past him, but he was unsuccessful.

Jin Feng broke through Chandler's defense, and the Nuggets' defense shrank again, and Jin Feng immediately passed the ball to the outside.

George Hill received the ball from outside the three-point line on the left side, and the ball was then passed to Dedmon at the top of the arc, and then to Rudy Gay on the right.

After the king burst through the ball, the Nuggets' defense at this time had been completely disrupted, and after receiving the ball, Guy found that there was no defender in front of him, so he made a decisive shot.

"Huh!" This time, Guy didn't miss the opportunity and hit a solid three-point shot!

Murray hit a pull-up jump shot with the help of Millsap's blocking, and when he returned to the other end, Jin Feng slipped inside to receive George Hill's pass and hit a layup, 15:29, and the difference continued to remain at 14 points.

The Nuggets went on two consecutive rounds of offense, the first of their game, but then their offense was stopped and the ball fell to the Kings once again.

It was still Jin Feng who controlled the ball at the top of the arc, and the Kings players at this time spread out very widely, unlike two rounds ago, this time, Jin Feng did not choose to directly break through Chandler's defense one-on-one, but chose to call Randle's blocking.

Jin Feng and Randle cooperated in blocking and dismantling, and at this time, the Nuggets chose to change the defense, and the "half-orc" Farid changed the defense against Jin Feng.

As an inside player, Farid's movement speed is undoubtedly very good, but it is a little insufficient for Shang Jin Feng.

After blocking and dismantling, Jin Feng found space from Farid's defense and dribbled to the inside.

With previous experience, the Nuggets did not step forward early this time, but waited until Jin Feng broke through to the three-second zone before Millsap stepped forward to pinch the defense.

Jumping in the air, Jin Feng once again threw the ball to the outside.

To the right of the top of the arc, Randall! After Millsap shrank to the basket to defend, Randle, who had no one to target, appeared in the Nuggets' defensive hollow area.

The Nuggets' defensive rotation has not yet come, and after receiving Jin Feng's pass, Randle did not choose to pass, but shot directly!

"Huh!" Three points, also in the middle!

"Coax!"

At 15:32, with 33 seconds left before the first quarter of the game, the difference between the two teams had reached 17 points, which had already made the scene boil!

What made the Kings players even more excited was that in the next round, the Kings once again defended the Nuggets' offense.

13 seconds, the king's last attack, this time it was Jin Feng who controlled the ball.

The King's final attack was accustomed to being in the hands of Jin Feng, who controlled the ball and pressed the rhythm outside the three-point line on the right side until there were six seconds left in the offensive time, and Randle lifted up to block and dismantle.

With the help of Randle's blocking, Jin Feng broke through from the bottom line, Chandler quickly squeezed past Randle's side, but still failed to keep up with Jin Feng's footsteps, seeing that Jin Feng was about to rush into the basket, Murray, who was defending George Hill in the bottom corner of the right side, quickly rushed up.

Chandler was really better at helping defense, and quickly arrived to pinch Jin Feng with Murray, and when Jin Feng was about to use his footsteps to force over, Chandler's long arm quickly reached out and pressed on the basketball in Jin Feng's hand.

Seeing that the ball was about to be cut off by Chandler, Jin Feng immediately made an exaggerated action, but the whistle did not sound as he wished, and his body fell to the floor, Jin Feng finally snatched the ball back from Chandler's hands, and then quickly passed towards George Hill, who was closest to him.

In the bottom corner of the right side, George Hill received a pass from Jin Feng, if he usually received the ball in this position, George Hill would choose to break through directly or pass the ball to his teammates, but at this time, there was only the last 2 seconds left in the offensive time, and both of these methods were not enough.

Glancing at the basket in the distance, George Hill jumped up decisively, he had no choice at this time!

Chandler was disturbed by Jin Feng lying on the ground at this time, and George Hill, who had no one to defend, threw away the distractions in his mind, and according to the rhythm of his shooting at the free throw line, when he jumped to the highest point, his wrist shook and he shot!

Although it is a three-point in the bottom corner, such a position is still farther away than the free throw line after all, so George Hill also increased his power a little bit when he shot.

After throwing the ball and landing on the ground, George Hill stared at the basketball in the air tightly, and he didn't have any score in his heart, because he didn't have much control over this shot, he could only vaguely feel that the rhythm of this shot was good.

Basketball flew out of George Hill and began to fall into the air, the red light on the rebound came on, and Kings fans realized that the quarter was over, as for the final ball? George Hill's three-pointer? Don't be funny! I have the impression that an old point guard like George Hill rarely shoots three-pointers on the one hand, and on the other hand, three-point shots are not very accurate.

The next moment......

"Huh!" The basketball hollows into the net and makes a crisp sound!
