"Welcome to Conceco Arena for the second regular season game of our city's heroes, the Indiana Pacers!" With the shouts of DJs on the scene, the spotlight of the entire stadium began to play continuously, shining on the already full observation seats and the middle of the field, where the mascots and cheerleaders were already dancing their bodies hard.

The mascot is used to please children, and the cheerleaders are used to please those lustful uncles, basketball players are very energetic, those uncles who like to watch basketball, the energy is just as strong, looking at the cheerleaders who are wearing very 'cool', the uncles' eyes are straight, and a lot of whistles are sounding around, but this kind of thing happens every day.

These cheerleaders have long been used to it, and in the locker room, Jim O'Brien is setting up today's lineup.

"Today we are playing as a striker!" In fact, Jim O'Brien doesn't say it, and the Pacers can only dominate this position.

Because of their other positions, they really can't be ranked in the league, and the Heat to play this time is not a trivial matter.

After being teammates with O'Neal Jr. for so many years, these old Pacers know the horror of this baby-faced guy, although this guy is always easy to get hurt, but the aggression on the inside is really not ordinarily strong.

"Now let's announce today's starting lineup! Center Roy Hibbert, power forward Troy Murphy, small forward Danny Granger, point guard TJ Ford, shooting guard...... Zhang Kong! At the end of the day, Jim O'Brien deliberately paused, then looked at Zhang Kong, who was tidying up his fingers next to him, and said that Blanton Rush, who had always dominated the main scoring guard, could really only be like his last name now...... Pull it on the bench!

"Zhang Kong, start to see Wade, no problem!" Seeing that Zhang Kong was still there and looked unconcerned, Jim O'Brien specially asked, let Zhang Kong start today, not only because of the reason why he got a triple-double in the last game, but also because Jim O'Brien took a special look at Zhang Kong's training today, in the previous month, Jim O'Brien didn't pay attention to Zhang Kong, nor did he go to see his training, anyway, Zhang Kong didn't care! And since the last time Zhang Kong hit a triple-double.

Jim O'Brien deliberately observed Zhang Kong's training this morning, Zhang Kong's training was definitely harder than most people on the team, and Jim O'Brien found that Zhang Kong's physical strength was very good.

In this morning's training, everyone else needs to rest, but he doesn't need to, he trained all morning, and when he tested his body in the afternoon, he found that this guy's muscles were still not in a state of fatigue, and it can only be said that this guy's body is fantastic.

There is no three, two, three, Zhang Kong does not dare to go to Liangshan, and his physical fitness is 99, which is a big guarantee for Zhang Kong to play the game, not to mention that he has rested.

Seeing Zhang Kong's physical strength, Jim O'Brien is ready to make perfect use of Zhang Kong's physical strength to make a fuss.

"No problem!" Zhang Kong was still there to get his finger guard, and he answered Jim O'Brien's words without raising his head.

In the face of such a stranger, Zhang Kong is still a little afraid, this guy used to stay at home for too long, and he almost didn't dare to speak to strangers, plus his training, others have no way to interfere, systematic training, how can others interfere?

So now that Zhang Kong is in the team, there is still relatively little communication with these teammates, and as the staff of the stadium came to call people to get ready to play, Zhang Kong and they also took off their game clothes and prepared to start the game.

At this time, in another ocean in the United Kingdom, in a certain room, a girl was also nervously staring at the TV in front of her.

"Zhang Kong, come on!" This girl is none other than Xia Xueshan who came to study abroad, although she has no name with Zhang Kong now, but for the game between the Pacers and Zhang Kong, Xia Xueshan will not let go, she can't see the real Zhang Kong, it's good to look at Zhang Kong on TV! This is what she thinks now, since Zhang Kong has been digitized, the peach blossom debts that she owed before seem to be slowly coming to the door, you must know that Zhang Kong in the past definitely did not have so many girlfriend friends now.

"The third person to appear next is a young man from the mysterious East, Zhang Kong! Standing at six feet six inches, he just helped the Pacers win the game in their last game and scored his first triple-double, so let's welcome him with a round of applause! With the sound of DJ on the scene, Zhang Kong walked out of the player's tunnel for the third time, but unlike Murphy and TJ Ford, who walked in front, after Zhang Kong walked out, the originally lively Conseco Arena instantly quieted down.

The original almost violent applause and shouts disappeared, only a burst of scattered applause came from some corners, and even some boos were sent to Zhang Kong's ears, it seemed that Zhang Kong did not satisfy the fans in the audience.

Zhang Kong didn't make a fuss, just shook his head, when he signed the contract, he had already indicated that he was just a super mercenary, and loyalty did not exist in his blood, especially the objects of loyalty were those bosses.

With Zhang Kong and other main players playing, the Heat are also ready, and this year's Heat lineup can be said to be very strong.

At least on the surface, it looks like this, the inside line is axed by O'Neal Jr. and Michael Beasley, In the small forward position, they got Quentin Richardson, a firepower output point that could contribute 10.2 points per game in the Knicks last season, and the backcourt is still one of the league's top superstars, led by Dwyane Tyrone Wade, plus a good Mario Money, two of the team's starters have been selected as All-Stars, although O'Neal Jr. has been a lot older recently, but after all, he is still an All-Star-level insider, and Wade is selected as an All-Star every year, and Beasley's potential has also been seen by everyone.

In addition to the fact that this guy's brain is not very good and he always likes to foul, he can also be regarded as the interior core of the Heat.

Only Zhang Kong remembered that all the people let Pat Riley play it, just like playing monkeys, this old guy was quite ruthless.

The Heat's main force is strong, and their bench is not bad, with Haslem and Carlos Arroyo both sitting off the court, ready to provide enough firepower whenever needed! As the referee gestured to the inside players on both sides to jump the ball in the center circle, everyone's eyes were focused on the court, and the game was about to begin.

Hibbert and Jermaine O'Neal also came to the center circle, looked at each other, and waited for the basketball to be thrown.

With the referee's whistle, the basketball was thrown into the air, speaking of the jump ball, or the young and strong Hibbert had some advantages, and slapped the ball into the hands of Granger in the distance, Granger did not rush to attack after receiving the ball, but stabilized a little, saw TJ Ford who came up behind, handed the basketball into his hands, Zhang Kong and Wade are in the second position.

So as soon as the two came on the field, they faced each other, Zhang Kong ran around in front, and Wade stuck to him.

These two people also have some hatred when they talk about it, after all, Zhang Kong also made Wade depressed, and it is difficult to say who Zhang Kong had no grudge with last season.

Think about James, which makes Zhang Kongfang very depressed, think about Howard, it seems that Zhang Kong is also offended, Duncan was not scored a point in a game by Zhang Kongqian, Anthony also hates Zhang Kong, Paul and the Hornets even used wheel battles to fight Zhang Kong, Deron folded in Zhang Kong's hands twice, especially Zhang Kong's last game, he was alive and almost didn't kill Kobe.

If it weren't for James scratching his hair in the playoffs and losing to the Magic, maybe Kobe Bryant would really hate Zhang Kong, and the home court advantage in the finals almost made Zhang Kong completely gone, so now in this league, there are almost no people who are very right with Zhang Kong, of course, the original Kings players are very right with Zhang Kong, but they are basically far away from other teams.

TJ Ford is also very open now, because he realizes a very important point, now the Pacers start five, the interior line is relatively stable, the small forward position must be Granger's, that empty outsider, if you want to insert a bar, it can only start from the guard line, and now Zhang Kong is playing a point guard, which seems to have little to do with himself.

But think about Zhang Kong's terrifying success rate of breaking through the ball, plus if Dunleavy comes back after recovering from his injury...... TJ-Ford feels that the starting position that he has finally gotten to get his hands on is going to be unstable again! Speaking of being robbed of the first position, TJ-Ford is definitely not the first time to be robbed, and it is unlikely to be the last! Looking at Zhang Kong in the distance, according to Jim O'Brien's meaning, when the team's people don't have good opportunities, they have to hand over the ball to Zhang Kong and let him handle it.

In the last game, Zhang Kong handled it very well! But TJ Ford didn't think so, so he knew that the position of the interior line was not very good, but he still handed the ball to Roy Hibbert on the inside, and Hibbert didn't realize that TJ Ford would pass the ball.

After receiving the ball, he was stunned for a moment, and he lost his position directly, and he had no choice but to turn around and jump shot, but the basketball bounced out directly on the basket, Beasley grabbed the rebound first, and then handed it to Qian Moss to organize the offense, which was also the interior line, and the same position of playing center, but O'Neal Jr. was much more experienced than Hibbert.

Even if he didn't have a good position, he still managed to cheat Hibbert's foul, and as soon as the referee's whistle blew, Hibbert could only stretch out his hand! And Zhang Kong in the distance, looking at TJ Ford's eyes, changed, and then looked at Jim O'Brien in the spot, and at this time Jim O'Brien was also having a headache with TJ Ford's ball, he was going to take a look!
