Chapter 453: Waiting for you to lift the FMVP trophy
At halftime, the host of the Golden No. 1 Center began to introduce the lineup of the '02 Kings West Finals, and Divac stood in the center of the court with Webb and several people, and the entire arena suddenly resounded with cheers. The Kings finally ushered in a recovery after 16 years of trough, and the comparison between the old and new lineups made the Kings fans enthusiastic.
"First of all, on behalf of the entire Kings staff, I would like to say thank you to all the fans who are following this game, whether you are in the stadium, outside the arena, or watching on television. In the future, we will work harder to build the team and bring more surprises to Sacramento and Kings fans."
"Secondly, as a former Kings player, together with our brothers, I wish Zhang Feng can lead the Kings out of the West and win the championship!"
After Divac finished speaking, the camera swept over several people one by one, Webb and Bibi clenched their fists at the camera, and Pollard and Peja gave a thumbs up, as if they were cheering for Zhang Feng in the air.
In the home team's dressing room, Randolph told a joke he had made in an interview, and the Kings laughed.
"Since everyone is so happy, why don't we record a video to make a record" Mason took out his mobile phone after speaking, and said to everyone: "Brothers, there are still 2 quarters of the game, we are about to make history, are you excited?" Excited or not excited? ”
"It's not too late to record when the game is over, and besides, we only tied for first place if we won this game, and we have to win one more game to set a historical record, don't be happy so early" David uncharacteristically poured cold water.
Seeing that the atmosphere immediately became gloomy, David said: "I'm just afraid that everyone will lose the game because they get carried away, we are only 1 point ahead, did you see the halftime salute just now?" Kings fans all over the world are looking forward to it, and we can't afford to lose, so we put away our winning mindset and play every offense and every defense."
After a different kind of 'chicken soup for the soul' encouragement, David began to lay out the second half of the game.
In the away dressing room, McMillan finished his tactics and Bird pushed the door and walked in.
"Young men, if you work hard for half a time, you are the makers of history, and although you will not be remembered, you can proudly tell your children that it was their father who defeated the unbeatable king".
After Bird finished speaking, the weak flame of the Pacers players' dying fighting spirit was rekindled, and just as everyone was high-fived each other, Lance said coldly: "That, president, I don't have children yet, what can I say."
"Don't you know that you will have children in the future?" Bird laughed angrily.
In the blink of an eye, the halftime was over, the game continued, and the Kings attacked first.
Zhang Feng trotted all the way through the half court, and Cory Joseph, who was back on the court, directly pasted it, and before Zhang Feng called for cover, Oladipo also rushed over.
Suddenly, Zhang Feng did not panic, he kicked the ground with his left foot and straddled with his right foot, and suddenly moved sideways to get rid of the two, and then waved his hand to pass the ball to Bogdan.
Oladipo couldn't get back on guard, and Bogdan was left unguarded, fine-tuning his stance from beyond the three-point line before taking a shot.
hit, and the Kings led by 4 points.
The Pacers attacked, Corey Joseph crossed the ball at the top of the arc, and by the way made a cover for Oladipo, Zhang Feng immediately changed defenses.
But before he could get to the top of his hands, Oladipo had already shot.
grabbed three points, although he failed to hit, but the rebound was picked up by Turner, and Costa hurriedly set up his hands to defend.
Turner couldn't make a series of strong shots, so he had no choice but to pass the ball back to the outside and motioned for Corey Joseph to reorganize the attack.
The ball is in hand, but the formation of teammates has been chaotic, if you force the tactics to run, the probability of success will not be too high, and it is easy to lead to mistakes. After much deliberation, Corey handed the ball to Oladipo again.
Getting the ball again, Ola didn't have a rut, tried a few shaking breakthroughs and couldn't do it, and he chose to shoot 3 points again.
Still missed, Costa suffered a loss before, and this time he was stuck in early position to let Love get the rebound.
And Zhang Feng had already passed the prediction in advance, he received a pass from Love near the halfway, turned around and accelerated his frenzy, once pulled the ball to the left to bypass Corey, once pulled the ball to the right to bypass Oladipo, and before Bojan blocked it, he slipped to the basket and easily scored 2 points, extending the King's lead to 6 points.
"After this pause, the king has upgraded again, they are so serious about defending every ball, if it weren't for Oladipo rushing to shoot just now, he might not have a chance to shoot by Zhang Fengfang" ESPN live broadcast room, Pippen couldn't help but sigh.
"Is it that powerful? It looks like the Kings are going to win this game," Max said in a slightly unpleasant tone.
"After the third quarter, the Pacers will give up tactically, they can't fight with the Kings, if they were in a doping state before, the current Kings are like a Captain America vaccine state," Maddie said metaphorically.
As Pippen and Maddy said, throughout the third quarter of the game, the difference between the two teams widened, and the Pacers were a little unable to find their way by the Kings, and missed several consecutive shots.
Although the Kings did not have a high shooting percentage, they relied on defensive transitions and scored easily many times.
At the end of the third quarter, the Kings led by 18 points, but the Pacers didn't give up, and Bird walked from the audience to the bench again and spoke passionately for 30 seconds. But for one time, there was no more excitement on the faces of the Pacers players.
After the start of the fourth quarter, the Kings went on a 6-0 run, and McMillan had to call a timeout early to make adjustments.
After the timeout, the Pacers changed tactics and scored 3 points from the outside.
The shooting percentage was good at the beginning, but unfortunately it still couldn't prevent the Kings from attacking, and it failed to narrow the gap by hitting 3 points in a row.
When the feeling decreased, the king had another wave of 6:0, and McMillan directly replaced the substitute and gave up the game.
"It's a little later than I predicted, but I have to say I guessed right," Maddie shook her head in recklessness.
"Congratulations to the Sacramento Kings on their 33-game winning streak, they deserve that honor, and I hope they can break the Bulls' 72-10 record again so that the NBA can stage Game of Thrones – Seven Kingdoms, that would be nice."
Pippen laughed to himself, as if he was imagining a battle between the Kings, the Rockets, the Warriors, the Thunder, the Raptors, the Cavaliers, and the Celtics.
"The crowd at Golden One is going crazy, the Kings are still playing at home in their next game against the Warriors, how can they celebrate if they win 34 in a row," Maddie lamented.
"It's better to imagine winning the championship, there are only six games left in the regular season, and maybe Zhang Feng's performance is about to begin," Pippen boldly hypothesized.
In the Golden No. 1 arena, all the spectators had already stood up, the Kings starters except for Zhang Feng had already left the game, and the game was played until the last official timeout, and David finally gestured to the technical table to make a substitution.
Zhang Feng was replaced by Mason, and the audience chanted MVP, and he raised his right hand and nodded in greeting.
"Zhang Feng, King, Zhang Feng, King, Zhang Feng, King", the live broadcast shouted again in Chinese with the fans, despite the fact that the game was not over.
"How does it feel," David asked.
"It feels good, this is my most glorious moment," Zhang Feng replied with a smile.
"No, your most glorious moment is yet to come, the day you lift the FMVP trophy"
