Chapter 49: Not a way
In the last three minutes, Prince and Starkey teamed up to score the team's final eight points, while the Pistons accumulated a seven-point advantage for the final quarter of the battle and entered the final quarter 73-66.
The Kings are a weak team, and their only variable is a guy named Zhang Kong! This is what the head coach of the Pistons said to his players at halftime, as long as Zhang Kong is pulled away, it is not impossible to play four or four.
Zhang Kong's league weakness has been seen through by the Pistons, and completely utilized, in fact, when playing against the Spurs, Zhang Kong should have noticed his weakness, but he didn't care about it at the time, now it seems that this weakness has been infinitely magnified, and he doesn't know what to do now, Iverson's running position, he will never give up.
But if you go to guard Iverson, then the team will be in danger...... Looking at the situation on the court, Zhang Hollow was also very anxious, and the Pistons continued to pull the scores of the two teams after a 130-second break.
With seven minutes left in the game, Starkey hit another shot, and the Pistons stretched the score to 10 points, 83-73, and the situation on the Kings' side became more and more hopeful...... However, at this critical moment, the veterans of the Kings team began to exert their power.
Miller, Bobby Jackson, set off a wave of offense**, first Miller hit a jumper from 13 feet out, Bobby Jackson took advantage of Miller to attract the bag on the inside, received a pass from Salmons and scored, Miller received Martin's pass on the inside and forced Mark Hill, and then Kevin Martin hit a board 7 feet away from the rebound.
With Bobby Jackson's three-pointer, the Kings managed to narrow the score to 86-89, just three points away!
However, at this time, the Kings once again exposed their defensive problems, and Starkey began to break through!
With 2 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, Stas dribbled and broke through! For Starkey this young man.
The potential has been proven, and even if you can't become a superstar in the future, you can become a star player.
After all, he is the real core of the Pistons now, and this guy's physical condition is not much worse than Rose's, and he is also a super newcomer.
After Starkey dribbled, he went straight to the layup and scored the crucial two points, stretching the score of the two teams to 5 points again.
Here Bobby Brown missed a three-pointer, Aamir Johnson grabbed the defensive rebound, and then went straight to Starkey.
At this time, it is the team's No. 1 position to defend Stucky, Bobby Brown who comes off the bench, but Bobby Brown is not Stucky's opponent at all, and after being easily shaken by Stace, he was directly shaken down on the court, and Stace can drive straight into the inner hinterland of the Kings at this time! Just as Starkey was about to make a layup in front of Miller, a small hand appeared on Stace's other side...... "Smack!" Listening to this crisp sound, the Kings players were shaken.
"Zhang Kong!" DJ at home also looked at this block in surprise, Zhang Kong actually abandoned Iverson and ran over to help defend Starkey.
Unexpectedly, Starkey was knocked to the ground by Zhang Kong, and the basketball was picked up by Martin in the distance, and he scored a beautiful dunk after rushing to the front court, but looking at his visiting group, he was really afraid that this kid would be injured again.
"Shhh How did this guy give up defending Iverson? "The Pistons head coach is at odds with Iverson, and almost everyone knows about it, and now using Iverson as a pillar to attract firepower is also his way to deliberately fix Iverson.
But if Zhang Kong stopped defending Iverson and became a moving blocking machine, wouldn't Iverson come to life? The Pistons head coach meant to use Iverson's outcast to attract Zhang Kong's defense.
And then use his other four favorite generals to capture the King's city, his idea is correct.
And it has been successfully running for nearly half of the time, but unfortunately, Zhang Kong has figured it out now.
Although Zhang Kong's purpose for coming to the Kings is money, he doesn't like the feeling of losing, especially against a team with the same bad record, as long as he plays, he must go all out to win, this is the meaning of Zhang Kong's existence!
Zhang Kong, who has thought of a way for the time being, although he has not completely abandoned Iverson to defend alone, has also expanded his defensive space to his limit, and now he would rather make himself tired and definitely increase the defensive intensity of the Kings.
Looking at Zhang Kong's change, the defensive intensity of the Kings team really increased instantly, and the position in the circle where Zhang Kong was standing has become a no-fly zone, no matter who it is, he will not find Zhang Kong to break through.
Although the Pistons still have a lot of breakthroughs, but the quality has obviously dropped a lot, Zhang Kong's deterrent power has gradually taken shape in the NBA arena, although this strong defensive concept has not been understood by everyone, but Zhang Kong is at least comfortable inside! Feeling the return of his self-confidence, a smile gradually appeared on Zhang Kong's face.
may be forced by Zhang Kong's defensive aura, when the Pistons are attacking, they will deliberately see if Zhang Kong is not by their side, so that the rhythm will be disrupted instantly, and the head coach of the Pistons team thought for a long time, and the last solution can only be to let people pass the ball to Iverson's hands and let Iverson disrupt Zhang Kong's defensive formation.
But Iverson, who has been exposed by the coach on the sidelines for nearly half of the court, where is there still a feel at all, plus Zhang Kong has not been far from him, as long as he catches the ball, Zhang Kong can rush to his side as soon as possible, although the defense is not as sharp as close defense, but it can also cause some trouble to Iverson, if he faces the Iverson of the year.
It's almost impossible to prevent him with such a defense, but now Iverson is obviously getting older, and after hitting three irons, Iverson also deliberately reduced the number of shots he made, and Zhang Kong and Iverson seem to have a 'tacit understanding'.
Iverson doesn't shoot the ball, and Zhang Kong can defend other players with his heart, the Pistons' original lead, with the help of Iverson's 'undercover', was instantly recovered by the Kings, and even overtaken!
However, the Pistons still have some background after all, and at the critical moment, Prince and Starkey carried the offensive banner of the Pistons.
Two players, began round after round of attack...... In the final moments of the game, the score was 98-99, and the Kings trailed the Pistons by one point! After Bobby Jackson catches the ball, he misses a layup! After Miller grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, the hook shot again, Miller grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt and passed to Salmons, who also missed the three-point shot, and Miller grabbed the rebound again.
At this moment, Miller had already brushed up three rebounds, and at this time, there were only less than ten seconds left before the end of the game, Miller glanced at Martin outside, and everyone was betting on Martin at this time.
After Martin received the rebound, he took a look at it and shot it easily, "Bang! Hearing this muffled sound, I knew that the rebound smashed heavily on the neck of the basket and rebounded, and at this time, the basketball ghost fell into the empty hand of Zhang who had just run to the basket.
"Zhang Kong grabbed the rebound in the front court! Dangerous! Looking at Zhang Kong standing under the basket with a surprised face and holding a basketball in his hand, the commentators on the scene were about to go crazy, how could the opponent grab four frontcourt rebounds in a row at such a critical moment??
"Shoot!" Miller looked at Zhang Kong and yelled loudly, while Salmons, Martin and Bobby Jackson in the distance were all looking at Zhang Kong, and the meaning in their eyes was very clear, shoot! Now there is no time for hesitation.
But what Zhang Kong is thinking about now is his own data, shooting under the basket...... 10…… Such data makes him dare to make a move.
Seeing that Prince beside him had already defended himself viciously, Zhang Kong's surroundings instantly became very quiet, and all the people's movements became slow motion, at this time he had to make a choice, come by himself! Or, lose ......
