Chapter 178: Forcing you to appear
Looking at James, who was sitting there watching the play, his empty eyes turned sideways, and then he gently touched his lips, and the second quarter of the game officially began! Watch Maurice Williams dribble the ball through half court because of James' absence.
Zhang Kong turned back to the No. 1 position, which was Zhang Kong's own arrangement, and his role was to defend the opponent's number one attacker.
When James is there, he defends James, and when James is not there, he defends Mo Williams, this is what Zhang Kong has to do, Zhang Kong at 1.98 meters, against Morris Williams at 1.85 meters, no matter how you look at it, this is a misalignment.
Even Mo Williams thinks so, the main way to play is to build your own flexibility and speed.
And these two points are exactly what Mo Williams is good at, looking at Zhang Kong in front of him, Mo Williams suddenly dribbled under his crotch.
Then he made a feint in front of Zhang Kong, hoping to jump up and down in the hope that it could interfere with Zhang Kong's judgment.
But unfortunately, these feints are completely meaningless to Zhang Kong! Every time he took a step forward, Zhang Kong took a step back with his small broken steps, and finally reached the three-point line, and Mo Williams glanced at Zhang Kong's defensive position a little far.
Then he has other thoughts, if he can score when he is empty, it can be regarded as an affirmation of himself.
Thinking of this, he suddenly rushed towards Zhang Kong's side with the ball, Zhang Kong watched the other party rush over, and immediately reacted, the two ape arms were lightly relaxed, directly blocking the other party's breakthrough route, Xiao Mo wanted to turn around in the middle of the march and break through Zhang Kong, but how could it be so easy, or let Zhang Kong judge the opponent's foothold in advance, and stood on the path of the other party's progress for the first time, and when Xiao Mo turned back, he found that Zhang Kong was still in front of him, and couldn't help but be startled.
At the same time, he also affirmed Zhang Kong's defense in his heart, of course, if he gave Zhang Kong affirmation, he was raised by his "cousin"! ’
At this time, Mo Williams glanced at Zhang Kong's position, and then laughed, because after the attack and defense of the two just now, Zhang Kong's position at this time was not very close to him, but there was still some distance, this was an opportunity.
Xiao Mo smiled mysteriously at Zhang Kong, and then jumped up directly on the spot, looking like he wanted to play a trick and pull out a jumper.
But when he was laughing, Zhang Kong was also laughing, but it was just a sneer, and it was impossible to play a jump shot in front of him.
Zhang Kong is a little far away from Mo Williams, mainly because he can predict it, and his height is here.
Mo Williams, probably not yet adapted to being stared at by someone who is so tall than him, jumped straight up and didn't have a back-tilt arc at all, and this also gave Zhang Kong a chance, Zhang Kong flew up directly, and his right hand was already blocked on Mo Williams's shooting point, Xiao Mo had no choice but to throw the ball out, but as soon as he threw it, the ball flew back at a faster speed.
The basketball flew down against Mo Williams's scalp, and Deng Tai Jones, who was configured with Zhang Kong next to him, picked up the ball for the first time, and then rushed towards the basket in front of him, so that the layup without defense made it very easy for Deng Tai Jones to score! At 40-38, the Pacers quickly overtook the score.
"Beautiful! Since the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Pacers have slowly grasped the initiative on the court, under Zhang Kong's core defense, the opponent's offense is difficult to penetrate the Pacers' defense, and the score is slowly pulling away with the help of Zhang Kong! Another successful defense, Troy Murphy grabbed the rebound, handed the long pass to Zhang Kong, Zhang Kong was about to go down, directly crashed into Morris, attacked the basket, oh no, he passed the ball, and when he was in the air, he handed the ball to Brandon Rush, who received the ball and dunked directly with one hand! Van Gundy Jr. was too busy in the commentary box, and now the Pacers were already morale up.
In just two minutes in the second quarter, Zhang Kong relied on his defensive skills to directly hit the opponent an 8-0 small **, and as Brandon Rush hit a dunk, he also roared loudly, and the green tendons on both arms were clearly visible.
"Well done!" Granger, who was resting off the court, looked at Zhang Kong's clever pass and Rush's violent dunk, and also jumped up from the bench, constantly waving a towel, and now the Pacers have slowly pulled the score away.
But the Pacers played well, Mike Brown couldn't sit still, and now everyone in the league knows that this old boy is the most impatient, as James's nanny, he also lives in the shadow of James, he needs to win, and victory needs James, Mike Brown looked back at James next to him, James naturally knows what this bald black fat man means.
He pulled the towel off his body and threw it to his younger brother, Valejo, and then he was already on his feet.
"Pause!" As Mo Williams took the ball through the half, Mike Brown also made a timeout gesture.
Zhang Kong looked at James already standing there, and couldn't help laughing, his purpose was to let the opponent's main players consume as much physical strength as possible, and among the opponent's players, no one else was enough, and the only thing to worry about was LeBron James.
"Danny, you rest a little longer, and then you can play when they are about to catch up!" During the pause, Zhang Kong looked at Granger, who had stood up next to him, and muttered quietly, now that Jim O'Brien is not there, the acting coach who should have been the brain of the team should be the acting coach, that is, Zhang Kong's shooting coach, Halle Mickey, but this kid is a trickster, no experience as a head coach, if you say practice shooting, Zhang Kong will listen to him.
But when he is on the field, he has no say, the only thing he needs to do is call a timeout when he is needed.
Now the team's voice has gradually shifted to Zhang Kong, it should have been Granger to arrange tactics, but this kid is the same as Zhang Kong, he is a stuffy gourd, and he usually doesn't like to talk, he prefers to be commanded rather than commanding.
Because of this, as the core of the defense on the field, coupled with Zhang Kong, who is the starting point of the attack, he plays the role of the commander of the whole team.
A good point guard is more useful than a team's head coach, and this is true at all times.
Zhang Kong is very advantageous, although he is usually very bored and does not like to communicate with others, but his mind has always been very clear.
Listening to Zhang Kong's words, Granger hesitated for a moment, but still sat down, although Zhang Kong didn't say anything, but he knew that Zhang Kong must have a plan in his heart to deal with the knights, originally when Zhang Kong first came, they were still worried about whether Zhang Kong would be like when he was the king.
It's just to make money, but after they really started playing with Zhang Kong, they found that this kid's fighting spirit is the strongest in the team, and the best to win is also the strongest, Zhang Kong is for himself and the team.
At the end of the timeout, Granger was still sitting on the sidelines, which surprised Mike Brown a little, and his side sent Anthony Parker and James on the court, and the opponent's ace did not play, what does this mean? What's the way to play?
The NBA has always been very about soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, such as when the Cavaliers and the Lakers fight, James will sometimes go to the position of Kobe, when the Lakers play the Magic, Gasol will sometimes play against the Magic, and the substitutions of the teams on both sides.
It is generally the main force here, and the main force is also used to fight there, but now James on his side is on the other side but not on the other side, which makes Mike Brown a little surprised, but it is just a little accident, Granger will not let his plan be aborted, after James came on the court, he immediately became the main attack point of the Cavaliers, and Zhang Kong also returned to the third position.
The No. 1 spot was given to TJ Ford, who defended poorly because he was too short, but today he played against Mo Williams, both of whom are the same height, 185, and in comparison, the stronger TJ Ford has the advantage.
"Hey, boy, you're doing a good job, you actually stole so many points while I wasn't there!" After half the court, the ball was handed to James, and as soon as James was in place, Zhang Kong ran directly over and marked James.
"Cut, I'm not going to score points when you're on the field? There is a limit to arrogance! "Talking trash, Zhang Kongke has never been afraid.
Looking at Zhang Kong's contemptuous eyes, James was about to get angry, and suddenly remembered the scene when he was playing against Zhang Kong last season.
"Want to push me? I'm not angry! James looked at Zhang Kong, said with a smile, and then passed the ball to Anthony Parker next to him in front of Zhang Kong, Anthony Parker singled Blanton Rush, and saw that there was no chance, so he handed the ball to Vallejo on the inside, and the Brazilian actor still had a certain advantage in the face of Murphy's defense, and shook it twice with his feet.
He threw the basketball into the hoop, and with Valejo's offense, the Cavaliers ended their opponent's streak of eight points.
narrowed the difference between the two sides to six points, and looked at the opponent's movements, Zhang Kong sighed.
Although the current lineup of the Pacers is not bad, the lineup is really not neat! Thinking of this, Zhang Kong couldn't help but glance back at Mike Dunleavy sitting on the bench, he was going to talk to this guy in two days.
Zhang Kong will not treat other people's injuries in vain, no matter how big or small the injury is, if he can't satisfy Zhang Kong, he won't give anyone face!
