Chapter 256: Never Give Up
"Zhang Kong's performance in this game is not too good, he is a little poisonous, he really has some abnormalities today, when he hits now, Zhang Kong has shot a total of 24 balls, hit 9 of them, the shooting rate is not high, but Zhang Kong is still throwing, but I have to say, this style of play is really not very reasonable, the most important thing for a point guard is to string the game!" Looking at the game on the field, in the studio of the imperial court station, Director Zhang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Uh...... Yes, yes......" Looking at his old partner, Mr. Sun could only wipe his sweat beside him, and then nodded and reconsidered.
The rule of the imperial court, that is, as long as it is a Chinese athlete, no matter what the event, no matter who it is, as long as he does not say that he is not Chinese, then he can only praise, not scold, it's as simple as that! When did you see Yao Ming playing on the field, and the commentators of the imperial court said bad things about him? Or when Liu Xiang was about to prepare for the competition, the commentator said bad things about him?
has not been, and Zhang Kong is a person who has paid more attention to the Basketball Association recently, so in the imperial court, it is not allowed to say bad things about him, but Director Zhang, looking at the state of the Pacers today, still can't help but say, in his opinion, Zhang Kong should be in series of games, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that now the Pacers have no ability to score, Zhang Kong has no way not to be poisonous, but in the eyes of the older generation of Zhang Gui, there is no way to play like this, just play like this.
At the critical moment, you score there, and no matter how many points you score, it's not right, you can't reason with him.
After the start of the fourth quarter of the game, Paul was still being targeted by Zhang Kong, the two kept grinding time on the outside, and Zhang Kong, who added his surname, was always biting the score, until there were only 2 minutes and 11 seconds left before the end of the game, Paul came to the three-point line again, looking at Paul who was already a little tired in front of him, Zhang Kong immediately greeted him.
In fact, now Zhang Kong's physical strength is only more than 30 points, but he is not like Paul, Paul's level is also declining when his physical strength is declining, and Zhang Kong's surname is a constant value, in this case, if you want to kill Zhang Kong one-on-one, there are really few people in the league who can do it, so after Paul wasted more than ten seconds on the outside, he decided not to waste time anymore, but hoisted the ball directly to the inside line and handed it to David West, who held the ball with both hands, Behind him is the legend who has performed well in the last few games, the former 'victory cigar' big bug Milicic.
Although Big Worm is white and strength is not an advantage, in terms of height, David West is much shorter than Big Worm.
So David West didn't hesitate at all, and directly used his strength to forcibly hit Milicic, who seemed to him to be going to compete with Milicic, but if he was surprised, Milicic was knocked away by himself.
"If I knew you were such a dish, I would have served it a long time ago!" Looking at Milicic who was knocked away, David West couldn't help laughing, looking at the basket in front of him, he gently threw the ball over, and as soon as the ball came out of his hand, he knew that the ball was there!
But before he could celebrate the goal, the ball was slapped down in mid-air by a big hand that slapped his head and face.
"Zhang Kong?" David West's first impression when he saw the ball being fanned down was that Zhang Kong, the current league's blocking king.
But looking back, Zhang Kong was still standing by Paul's side. 'So who fanned it?' That's when David West turned his head, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Milicic's shiny studs, and yes, this time the cap was the work of the big bug.
At the beginning of David West's strength, Milicic was not ready to fight against him hard-to-hard, height was his advantage, and time made West have no time to do feints to shake himself off, Milicic and others were the moment when David West made a move.
Although David West has been in the league in recent years, don't forget that the original Milicic was the second pick in 03, when he was also a dominant figure in Europe, although from the beginning of entering the NBA, his life was a tragedy, but when he woke up and began to concentrate on playing, his destructive power was still there.
Milicic's fanned basketball accurately fell into Zhang Kong's hands, as if Zhang Kong had known that the ball would fall here.
Zhang Kong has not moved since David West started to attack just now, and he just caught the basketball at this time.
Of course, there is no way to calculate the direction of the basketball's flight in advance, Zhang Kong can guess at most, because he knows where the opponent shot, so he has the opportunity to cover the ball to the place where he wants him to fly, but Milicic obviously does not have this function.
So this ball can only be regarded as luck! Zhang Kong was very lucky to receive Milicic's basketball.
Then he was lucky, Paul was blown aside because the basketball he wanted to pick up the block just now was lighted to the side, and Zhang Kong, who ran wildly, was also very lucky to squeeze away from Thorton, who came to defend, and then went straight to the bottom, and Zhang Kong's luck had not run out at this time.
Right in front of him, the only guy on the Hornets who is still standing on the inside is called Peja Stojakovic.
If it was Peja when he was young, if he was three points to Zhang Kong, that Zhang Kong would be killed by him, but if it was the impact on the field, even if Peja was dressed in a set of medieval knight armor, it would not change anything.
Seeing Zhang Kong rushing towards Peja, not only the people on the Hornets' side, but even the head coach of the Hornets had already given up on defense.
Zhang Kong vs. Peja, it's hard to think of this ball or not, although Zhang Kong hasn't made a layup, or a shot, or a dunk action, but in his speed, bounce and physical condition, no matter how you play, this ball may not be as big as the score.
And at the moment when Zhang Kong rushed to the bottom line, the basketball flew out of his hand.
Seeing that the basketball was flying so bizarrely, the head coach of the Hornets was overjoyed, could it be that Peja is now possessed? Can you even prevent a basketball from opening up? Or is it a sudden speed bonus, and the ball just poks out?
I have to say, the head coach of the Hornets, a bit of a precursor to Alzheimer's, is it possible that Zhang Kong will be cut off by Peja?
Just when almost more than eighty percent of people thought that Zhang Kong was a mistake, the ball had slowly flown to the left side of the three-point line 45 degrees away, where a big hand gently buckled the ball in his hand, the owner of these hands was none other than the boss of the Pacers, Danny Granger, Granger's hand felt bad to a certain extent today, but at such a critical moment, Zhang Kong still decided to trust him! In the studio of the imperial court station, Zhang Kong's pass was still scolded by Director Zhang for being unreasonable.
Now that the Pacers are still behind, what's the most important thing? Scoring is the most important thing, but no matter how you look at it, you have broken through here, and in the face of Peja, Zhang Kong's shooting rate is definitely higher than that of Granger, who has been cold for a whole game!
And Granger didn't waste Zhang Kong's assist, after all, he is the boss of the team, take a deep breath, Granger jumped high in the case of no one watching, the soft touch did not mess with him this time, the basketball slowly flew into the basket in the air, there are more than two minutes left in the game, the Pacers are now only 3 points away!
The Hornets had to call a long timeout and now they look like every ball counts.
Seeing Granger's three-point hit, almost all the fans in the audience jumped up from their seats excitedly, and then shouted frantically, the warm atmosphere infected everyone present, because it was a long timeout, so the cheerleaders also came to the court, cheering for their home team, and at the same time hoped to use their white thighs, and slender waist to interfere with the thinking of the Hornets, but obviously they failed, although the athletes are more energetic, but at such a critical time, They really don't think anything wrong with these little girls, all they need to do now is win the game.
After a bad start to the season for Byron Scotts, the Hornets' top management successfully fired Byron Scott, and then general manager Jeff Ball stepped out and became the current head coach of the Hornets.
In this game, the only chance for the Hornets to win is on the outside, so that the Pacers don't feel good, and then they can win the game, after all, this is the away road now, and then the current Pacers are still in their prime.
Originally, the game between the two teams has been going according to their own ideas, but it turns out that the three-point shot that Granger suddenly hit just now is very bad, not only about this game, but also related to Zhang Kong's trust in his teammates as a core point guard.
As the head coach of the team, Jeff Ball is very unhappy now, originally he didn't come to Indiana with any hope, but now the hope of winning is in front of him, how can he not be excited, just when he feels that this victory is about to be caught in his pants pocket, two guys ran out to make trouble, this is really unbearable, all he can do now is to keep telling his teammates, don't shoot indiscriminately, it must take time, now they are still leading, they still have a three-point advantage, As long as you press the time right and slow down the pace, it will be the guys on the other side who should be in a hurry.
You must grind slowly with them until the opponent loses the last trace of patience, and then you can easily take it down.
If things in reality were developing as Jeff Bauer predicted, then he would have become the president of the United States + the richest man in the world by now, obviously he is not, so life will be more interesting, when Zhang Kong jumped high and grabbed the third rebound of the game, he immediately found Dundee Jones, who had run out, and then a long pass from a long distance.
A lot of the impression that Dundee Jones gives others comes from his defense, but in fact, his offense is not weak either! In addition to three points and violent dunks, he also has a trick, cheating fouls! He doesn't feel good, but that doesn't mean he can't make free throws!
When Dundee Jones gently put the basketball into the hoop and also tricked Thorton into fouling, the whole Conseco boiled!
