In the first game of the game, in fact, Zhang Kong already knew that no matter what team the fans of the team were, they didn't want to see him.

It is conceivable that after the Pacers signed Zhang Kong, the publicity between the Internet and the news media instantly plunged the city into a terrifying atmosphere, and everyone was thinking, what is the purpose of Zhang Kong's coming here?

Zhang Kong chose to sign with the Indiana Pacers, and the first word that came to everyone's mind, if they didn't want to use it, they knew it was 'money', because Zhang Kong had done it before, and obviously Zhang Kong would not make any guarantees to the media or fans, which was not his style.

"At a time when all the teams were hesitating, the man from far away China once again reached out to the NBA, and this time it was us who were unlucky! Indiana Pacers. I really don't understand, what is so attractive about this Zhang Kong? These are the words of a local Indiana fan to the television station that came to explain the game before the game began.

In fact, the day after it was announced that Zhang Kong had joined the Pacers, many angry fans besieged the Conseco Arena and even played the slogan 'Loyalty does not equal money' to resist Zhang Kong's joining.

But a person who can only block can't give them the victory they want, that's what they think.

In Indiana, many people don't like Zhang Kong, which is understandable, because since Zhang Kong's black gold incident was exposed, he is the enemy of the entire American basketball world, and all loyal patriots are not very interested in Zhang Kong, the person who came to hack his country's money, and this black gold incident has won the support of many Chinese fans, but it is far from being able to solve the near fire, and now the entire Indiana is looking at Zhang Kong, ready to see Zhang Kong's jokes, even if it is outside the Conceco Arena now, There are also many fans who put up slogans that Zhang Kong is not welcome, but what does this mean? Zhang Kong is indeed fighting in a Pacers jersey today, and that's enough, and Larry Bird wants to believe that this guy Zhang Kong will definitely tell the Pacers fans why he signed this guy! As the spotlight came down from mid-air, the mascot of the eagle, Harry Eagle appeared on the scene with the eagle's flag, and with his wave, the cheerleaders also entered the competition field and danced passionately.

With the introduction of the host, Zhang Kong and other Pacers players entered the game first, this is not Zhang Kong's first game, but it is the first game he is ready to play seriously, but obviously Jim O'Brien does not mean to let Zhang Kong start.

He still used his old lineup, the center is last year's rookie, Roy Hibbert, the power forward is Troy Murphy, who has returned from injury, the small forward is the core of the team, Danny Granger, the shooting guard is also last year's rookie, Blanton Rush, the point guard is TJ Ford, and Zhang Kong is all sitting on the bench.

Today's Hawks lineup is still the same old, center Al Hoford, power forward Joe Johnson, small forward Marvin Williams, scoring guard Joe Johnson, point guard Mike Bibby, and the person who pays the most attention to Zhang Kong is Jamal Crawford, who just transferred this year, Zhang Kong has been in this world for almost a year, and his memories of his past life have almost forgotten.

But he still remembers that Crawford ended up taking away this year's Sixth Man of the Year award, and he was a four-point master.

"It doesn't look easy!" Zhang Kong sat in his seat, looking at the Hawks in front of him, he obviously felt that the Hawks were even more powerful than last year, at the level of the current Pacers...... But basketball is round, and anything is possible.

As the electronic synthesis bell rang, the referee also threw the basketball in his hand into the air, and the two teams jumped the ball inside, and the game officially began! It was the first game of the season between the two teams, and neither team wanted to lose, so as soon as the game began, the two teams were caught up in offense and defense, and the Hawks' Josh Smith received an assist from Joe Johnson for a layup.

Then Roy Hibbert grabbed the ball that TJ Ford missed, got a frontcourt rebound, and after beating Horford, he hit a layup to tie the score! Then Horford faced Hibbert with a hook on the run.

And Danny Greener held the ball to attack at a critical time, hit a direct jumper, and equalized the score again...... Then the Pacers slowly started to pull away the score, first Murphy scored two points with a long-range shot from inside the three-point line, followed by Granger, who broke through to the interior with the ball, and then hit an easy layup on the head of Marvin Williams.

However, Joe Johnson on this side also immediately returned the color, from 8-8, to 10-10, until there were 2:04 left in the first quarter, the Pacers asked for a timeout, because by this time they had extended the score to 27-20, leading the Hawks by 7 points, and then the Pacers and Hawks began a wide range of substitutions, Jeff Foster replaced Troy Murphy, Earl Worthen replaced Roy Hibbert, Dundee Jones replaced Brandon Rush, The Hawks replaced Marvin Williams with Crawford and Zaza Pachulia for Al Hoford, and the game continued on both sides.

But the script didn't go the way Jim O'Brien thought, and with the introduction of the bench, the Hawks gradually took the initiative in the game, and the Pacers, who had been pressing the Hawks, suddenly ended.

chased the other party all the way, if it wasn't for Danny Granger scoring 14 points, the other party might have caught up long ago, and the first quarter ended, and the Pacers only led the Hawks by three points at 32-29! During the break in the first quarter of the game, Jim O'Brien also couldn't help but look at Zhang Kong next to him, for him, he didn't want Zhang Kong to play, because this guy was a little too ignorant of him, Zhang Kong was still sitting there at this time, watching the cheerleaders dance, drinking Cadela...... "Can't let him be so idle!" "If others don't play, they will be very anxious, but Jim O'Brien saw that Zhang Kong didn't play, and he didn't mean to be anxious at all, he was very unhappy about this, even if he went against his will, he wanted Zhang Kong to play.

"Zhang Kong, you play in the second quarter!" Looking at Zhang Kong, who was still there, Jim O'Brien said viciously.

"Oh!" Hearing O'Brien's words, Zhang Kong nodded, and then took off his coat.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Jim O'Brien replaced Danny Granger and then played empty, at this time the Pacers' lineup on the court was, point guard Earl Watson, scoring guard Luthor Hyde, small forward Zhang Kong, big forward Troy Murphy, center Monroe Jones, with such a lineup, it is obviously not as deep as the bench on the Hawks' side.

These teammates in the Pacers are not familiar with Zhang Kong, they may not be as familiar with Zhang Kong as they are with the Hawks, plus in their impression, Zhang Kong is just a person who can only defend and not attack, so they didn't look for Zhang Kong in the first few attacks, but gave the ball to Hyde and let them attack, but obviously they don't belong to the core of the offense.

After hitting the iron a few times, it was the Hawks who seized the opportunity first, Jeff Teague took advantage of the Pacers' unstable landing, dribbled into the inside, and directly jumped and dunked, and did not give the Pacers any chance, seeing this ball, Zhang Kong just smiled.

He hasn't even touched the ball so far, let alone blocked? But he didn't care, he still walked there slowly and leisurely, looking at the Pacers' side of the four to five, originally four to four was at a disadvantage, let alone four to five.

In the end, Jim O'Brien couldn't stand it anymore, he couldn't tolerate Zhang Kong taking tens of millions of annual salaries like this, so he wanted to try Zhang Kong's quality, just as Earl Watson was just about to dribble across the half court, Jim O'Brien pointed to Zhang Kong next to him.

As the main substitute player, he didn't dare to fight with the head coach, because if he was not careful, the head coach would put him on the bench forever, so Earl Walter thought about it for a while, just hesitated, and passed the ball to Zhang Kong.

Zhang Kong looked at the basketball in his hand, and didn't say anything, but he dribbled the ball through the half court, and Zhang Kong also proved last season that his dribbling was very good, at least not worse than those first-level point guards! Watching Zhang Kong dribble through the half, Morris Evans, who was opposite Zhang Kong, did not press too hard, in his opinion, Zhang Kong could not shoot, and it was still possible to break through.

After all, Zhang Kong once broke through, but shooting? Hey, no kidding! Everyone in the audience didn't think that Zhang Kong would shoot, even off the court, Joe Johnson, who had clenched his fists very tightly, didn't think that Zhang Kong would shoot at this time, but Zhang Kong just likes to do things that surprise others, and for him, this summer is not in vain.

Zhang Kong suddenly held the ball in both hands and glanced at the basket, this was the first time he shot in an official game, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, if it was someone else who took the ball at this time, Evans might be pressing, but the opponent was Zhang Kong, he didn't care, he still stood in place, but his eyes were aimed at the side, in case he wanted to pass the ball.

Just when he thought Zhang Kong was going to pass the ball, Zhang Kong jumped up directly, just like when he practiced before, Zhang Kong gently pushed the basketball out, at this time Zhang Kong was only equipped with a perfect card, and the other was a perfect offensive card, 75 three-point skills, in the face of the almost unguarded Eagle defense, Zhang Kong had no reason not to shoot, and there was no reason not to score...
