Chapter 43: No Shot Tactics
Zhang Kong sat on the rest seat and looked at Duncan opposite, he was now sure that this Duncan and Po Povich next to him must have some conspiracy to deal with him, the Spurs win the king, as long as there are no accidents, it will definitely win.
In Popovich's eyes, the only variable is this Zhang Kong, as long as Zhang Kong is contained, then everything is easy to say.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhang Kong returned to the court, and Duncan, who had rested for nearly ten minutes, also returned to the court.
At the beginning of the game, Zhang Kong saw that there was a problem with Duncan's position, he did not stand directly on the inside line to ask for the ball, or pull to the outside line to block and dismantle with his teammates, but stood on the weak side, just stood there, did not enter the three-second zone, did not move, he did not move, Zhang Kong did not dare not move, he could only stand by Duncan's side now, staring at him.
This is Po Povich's tactic, sacrificing Duncan's stats to ensure the smooth running of the game, and Marouf, who was watching TV in Sacramento at this time, also understood this tactic, and almost pulled his hair down in a hurry.
The tactics of the Spurs are like this, use Duncan, hold the only variable, let Duncan nail Zhang Kong to the weak side, and then whether it is Parker, or Ginobili, or someone else, four against four, in the case of four against four, the Kings are completely impossible to be their opponents, whether it is Ginobili or Parker, they have no way to break through the Kings.
Even if it's not them, George Hill's breakthrough, they can't do it, in the case of four to four, the Spurs' offense instantly went up a level, although Garcia and Mickey Moore scored five points in a row, the Kings chased the score to 29-36, only 7 points behind, but then Parker, Ginobili plus Finley and Bowen, scored consecutive points, although the Spurs were slow, but they were very resolute to pull the score away, leading the Kings by as many as 16 points at 55-39, and whenever Zhang Kong wanted to block, Duncan would remind him that he was still behind him, looking at Duncan standing within his attack range, Zhang Kong thought about the bet again, he could only grit his teeth and stand beside him, now Duncan is doing this, Zhang Kong is uncomfortable, and Ma'aulf is also uncomfortable.
However, he could only manage his own players, he could not control the Spurs' players, and both teams had their shooting percentages dropped in the final minute of the first half, and at the end of the second quarter, the Spurs opened up the lead again, leading the Kings by as many as 17 points at 62-45...... Such a score difference is really embarrassing! And Po Povic's tactics really worked at home.
If it were other players, there might be some emotion, but Duncan, is this guy emotional?
Whenever the Spurs attack, he is really like a sculpture, stand there, and don't care, Zhang Kong doesn't dare to let him go, Duncan's small playing board belongs to one of the league's most unsolvable means, Kobe's drift shooting, Arenas's emergency stop, Delon's throwing, Howard's air catch, James's rush, Nowitzki's riding archery, Garnett's turn and back, Yao Ming's turn and shooting, Nash's passing without looking at people on the move, Kidd's rebounding fast break, Wade's breakthrough first step......
These are all unsolvable tricks in the alliance, just like what we call nirvana, and Duncan's nirvana is a small hit board at an angle of 45 degrees, this move is really a hero who abuses the world, abuses the whole alliance, and wants to die.
So Zhang Kong definitely didn't dare to give him any chance to stay alone, if he scored a goal, he would have to accompany two million! This is what he doesn't want to see, although he blocks once, and there is a bonus of 500,000 US dollars, but he doesn't think that his block can be compared to the opponent's score, a shot is counted as two points, and a block is only counted as one, and the difference is four times the difference in the middle.
Even if Zhang Kong is not good at math, this bend can be regarded as clear, even if he doesn't score today, he will have to prevent Duncan from dying!
Fifteen minutes into halftime, Kenny Knight also talked about tactics for fifteen minutes, but he didn't have any tactics to talk about Zhang Kong, in fact, Zhang Kong didn't understand it, he didn't even have a formal basketball class, and he only relied on the experience he had accumulated from playing games and watching TV before, as well as the experience accumulated in these places recently.
If you talk to him about Eagles tactics, joint defense positions, supplemental defense, or something, he understands what he hears, but he doesn't know what to do when he gets on the field, after all, he is not a professional.
After the start of the second half, the Kings grabbed rebounds in a row, and Garcia hit a three-point shot, and there was some momentum to chase points.
But it's a pity, whether it's the Spurs or their coach, Po Povich is not a vegetarian, they are the absolute first-class team in the league, when they can't score, they can also rely on their reinforced defense to control the situation on the court, after half a quarter, the Spurs only relied on Ginobili to get three points, but they still led the Kings by a full 9 points at 65-54, and then their offensive feeling began to slowly recover, Parker came first, after a wave of 12-2 ** played, The Spurs reopened the score to 77-56, a full 21 points, although the Kings also wanted to fight back at this time, but the Spurs still stabilized the current situation, and Duncan's job today was very simple, defending with all his might.
Then on the offensive end, standing in a particularly uncomfortable place for the Kings, Zhang Kong must come over to defend, 80-61, the third quarter of the game is over, and the Kings lose a miserable place! At the beginning of the final quarter, the Spurs directly replaced all the main players, in fact, their bench was definitely not much worse than the main team of the Kings.
The only superstar in the Spurs' current team is the Argentine Demon Knife, Manu Ginobili, and Duncan went to rest, which is an opportunity for Zhang Kong! Seeing Zhang Kong walk to the field with a wicked smile on his face, Malufu, who was sitting in front of the TV, suddenly felt a chill behind him...... This guy's smile is really obscene.
"Wait, Duncan is gone......" Seeing Duncan sitting on the sidelines, Ma'ruf's face turned white instantly, and he immediately grabbed his phone and called Kenny Knight, at this time he would rather replace Zhang Kong than let him play.
"Your call is not answered right now, please come back later, and if you want to leave a message to voicemail, please start after a beep." Listening to the woman's voice on the TV, Ma'a'l was about to go crazy.
At this time, Kenny Knight was completely unaware that there was something wrong with his phone...... A calling card, which at this time is in Kenny Knight's closet in the locker room, which means that Kenny Knight's mobile phone does not have a signal card right now......
And the information he received was to let Zhang Kong defend Duncan, and according to the previous treaty, he would not change Zhang Kong, just like against the Hornets, they wanted to prevent Duncan from playing Zhang Kong's time difference.
But who would have thought that the game would end so early...... Duncan is off, and the whole quarter of the game belongs to Zhang Kong.
"Hey, tenfold, I'm coming!" At this time, after Zhang Kong came on the court, he looked at the Spurs' substitute players on the field, and his eyes narrowed, where are these guys still players now, they are simply a lump of green Franklin.
Whether it is the players of the Kings or the Spurs on the court, looking at Zhang Kong as if he saw a naked woman, his eyes are shining on the court, he feels very strange, especially the players of the Spurs, they all feel that the chrysanthemum is cold, is there something going to happen? All eyes were on Ginobili, who just looked and then went on the offensive.
"Don't worry, we've got twelve minutes to have fun!" Seeing Ginobili attacking, Zhang Kong didn't care about Salmons, who was defending Ginobili, and appeared on Ginobili's defensive path for the first time, Salmons was also happy to let Zhang Kong come over to defend him, and the only thing the Kings now trust Zhang Kong is his defense!
