Chapter 17 The First Request
This game is a live broadcast in the United States, it should be said that it is a joint live broadcast of the United States and Huaguo in the later addition, Jordan's second comeback can lead the Wizards, who were still at the bottom of the league in the last session, to the first place in the East, which is enough to make basketball fans extremely excited.
The reason for Huaguo's live broadcast is even more sufficient, in the case that Yao Ming has been determined to participate in the 02 draft, as a Huaguo born, Gong Feng, who grew up in Huaguo for the first ten years of his life, has entered the sight of Huaguo, as the organizational defender of the first team in the East, the main force of iron fighting, the existence of an average of 10+12 per game, or as a defender, there are already too many reasons to be sought after.
What's more, there is also a rotation center from Huaguo who averages 8+8 per game in the Wizards, which is also the reason for broadcasting.
Zhang Weiping introduced the background of this game to all fans before the game, "Although this game seems to us to be full of gunpowder, but for the Spurs, this game is not a game that has to be won, as a well-known senior team in the league, the three main players of the Spurs are all over 35 years old, I think Coach Popovich will definitely not want to win at the very beginning, but to protect his players from injury in this game." ”
"Director Zhang is right, the Spurs have proven their strength above the Wizards in the last game, and I don't think the Spurs will go all out in this game."
"All of America knows this, but why is it still broadcast? I'm afraid it's because of the first vote Kwame Brown, as the center of the new era, the performance against the Spurs in the last game was really unsatisfactory, this time, how much progress Kwame made against Duncan is the highlight that everyone wants to see, if the Wizards want to prove anything in this game, the first person is Kwame. ”
"Director Zhang said this, then I also think that Gong Feng should also prove himself, the appearance of being beaten by Parker in the last game can be in everyone's mind."
"Gong Feng is very powerful as a player, but he is not without weaknesses, as a 198cm guard, Gong Feng's height is still very tall among the guards, and absolute speed has not been Gong Feng's strength, the last game said that Gong Feng was beaten by Parker, the reason is probably because Gong Feng's hand is not good."
"Director Zhang really looks like a fan of Gongfeng when he says this."
"Haha, just tell the truth, tell the truth."
Just like the two hosts said, the Wizards in this game, mainly to see the play of the two rookies, this game is over, if the Wizards want to meet the Spurs once, they must be in the Finals, this must win the game, that is, the beginning of the Wizards' confidence increase.
"Coach, the time, place, and people in this game are all on our side, don't you understand what I mean? It doesn't matter, which means that all the powerful factors are on our side, and if you look at the media reports, you can see that my main thing is that I don't want to be blown up by Parker in this game like the last game. ”
"Why don't you kid have any ideas?"
"The main players of the Spurs are veterans, and our biggest advantage over them is that they are young, that is, they can run long distances.
"Gong Feng, this game is not child's play, what can you guarantee under such a running system?"
"Coach, this game is just a regular season game, so why can't you run?"
"Why are you stubborn? It's not like you, it's impossible to tell you what you really think. ”
"Coach, this kid just wants to blow Parker up."
"Fuck off, Kwame...... Coach, this game is a victory or a victory, back-to-back high-intensity games, I believe everyone thinks that the victory over the Spurs is our strength, in this case, I want to play a game that the opponent is not absolutely sure. ”
"Run? Gong Feng, how to run? Who are you going to lead to run? "Jordan finally spoke, if according to Gong Feng, in this game, Gong Feng must be the core, Jordan can only be a shooter most of the time.
"We don't lack impact, our interior line can run and jump, Wang Zhizhi and Kwamei are fully adapted to the requirements of this system, Gerrard can also be used as a defensive gate, help defend the inside, plus your old man's projection, we can play the Spurs by surprise in the opening stage."
"I didn't ask you about the roster you played, I asked you if you were sure to be the core of this system?"
"Yes!" Gong Feng replied loudly and confidently.
Jordan and Collins glanced at each other, and Collins withdrew the tactical board in his hand, with a hint of inscrutable smile on the corner of his mouth, and said half a later.
"In this game, I'll give you a chance, if our team can't take the lead in the first half, this chance will be taken back by me, and the punishment for your kid is to practice 300 more three-point shooting, how about it, do you still have confidence?"
"Yes! Thank you, coach. ”
"Don't thank me, this is the trust you have earned in more than 30 games, but this trust is not long."
……
"Wow, Wang Zhizhi turned out to be the starter? It seems that the Wizards were planning to compete with the Spurs in the first place, right? This is to make the veterans tired of being mobilized by the Wizards defensively! ”
"If I were a coach, I would do the same, take advantage of your illness to kill you, as a head coach you have to be so ruthless."
"It won't be because he knew about Huaguo's broadcast that Wang Zhizhi was released, right? Although he has been used as the main rotation lineup of the Wizards, Wang Zhizhi can replace Leitner within a certain range, allowing veterans to rest and recuperate from injuries, but the effect against the admirals is not necessarily. ”
"As long as you pull away in the middle of the attack, I'm afraid this is Kwame's own meaning, this is to take the initiative to find Duncan?"
"Who knows, you have to see the game start to know what the Wizards think."
Kwame jumped the ball directly into the hands of Gong Feng, just when the Spurs habitually wanted to fall into the position and prepare to defend, Gerrard had already rushed directly to the basket, and Gong Feng's ball immediately followed, Steve Smith, who defended Gerald, as a 69-year-old veteran, did not react for a while, and Gerrard, who got the basketball, pulled the ball directly into the hoop.
"Wow, when did the Wizards have such a sharp and fast offense?" Barkley shouted from the sidelines.
"It's a dismount, and it looks like the Wizards are really putting all their strength out in this game."
Although the Spurs players are still a little fluctuating, Duncan, as the core, received Parker's pass, faced Kwame's defense, or scored the first goal of the game with a standard board shot, and was completely unmoved.
Kwame has no expression in the face of such Duncan, and directly makes a long pass under the basket, passing to the bow peak who has reached the middle line, although Parker is tightly clinging to Kwame, but Jordan and Gerrard have rushed to the basket, if these two people are allowed to play one by one in the front court, it must be a dozen and one accurate, Robinson and Duncan also hurried back in the face of this situation, but even if it is such a Spurs, they completely missed Wang Zhizhi, who was already standing on the right side at a forty-five degree angle waiting.
Bow Feng's pass arrived immediately and a perfect arc crossed and the ball went in.
The Wizards' players had a really good feel in the opening game.
"Wang Zhizhi's opening three points, this is a ball that plays offensive and defensive conversion, it seems that Wang Zhizhi is very appropriately integrated in the Wizards, and now the progress is very obvious, and the most important thing is the increase in confidence, this three-point shot does not seem to be hesitant at all."
Wang Zhizhi, who returned to the half, clapped hands with Gong Feng in celebration.
Popovich frowned at once in the face of such a situation.
Parker took the ball to the halfcourt, and in the face of Gong Feng's sudden acceleration, Gong Feng followed closely in front of Parker, leaving Parker with space to shoot, that is, not to give space for breakthrough and the timing of passing, although it was still very difficult to defend, but it was not that there was no grasp of defense at all.
Kwame's breakthrough to Parker so quickly didn't mean to help defend at all, but just stuck Duncan ready to grab the rebound and cut off the connection between Parker and Duncan.
Popovich looked at such a Kwame with a more serious look on his face.
The good news for the Spurs was that Parker threw the ball in on the run.
