February was a bumper season for Zhang, excluding performances at the All-Star Game, the Pacers played a total of 11 games in February, with a 10-1 record, and the only loss came on February 19 against the Hornets, where Collison had a triple-double to help the Hornets win the terrifying Pacers.

In terms of the current standings, the Pacers are 48-11 before playing the game in March, firmly at the top of the league, and even teams such as the Cavaliers can only hope to beat it! Zhang Kong averaged 23 wins, 10.6 assists and 6.7 blocks per game this month, and was nominated for Player of the Month again.

With a wave of his hand, David Stern directly wrote Zhang Kong's name on the trophy of the Player of the Month.

In the eyes of others, this is a supreme honor, after all, it also represents the outstanding performance of Zhang Kong this month.

But Zhang Kong didn't care, because the best of the month is not the MVP of the year, and there is no way to earn survival points.

Now Zhang Kong, in addition to money, is the most important point of survival, but Zhang Kong is not excited, it does not mean that the fans and his teammates are not excited, Zhang Kong's recent performance is becoming more and more mature, which also makes Jim O'Brien very happy.

And with the surnames of Zhang Kong and Granger, they also get along very well, and there is no tendency to grab the boss at all.

Although the two guys are not the kind of selfless people, they are very introverted, and honest people are easy to bully.

The three guys who can be the core of the team now are all introverted honest people, Granger is the current boss, Zhang Kong is the backup boss, and Al Jefferson is the turned boss, these three guys are usually soft off the court.

But when it comes to the court, they are not them, and they are very tough when they play alone.

With the aura of NBA Player of the Month in February, Zhang Kong started his most terrifying schedule in March with the team!

On March 1st, Zhang Kong and other players have come to the City of Angels, Los Angeles! They will come here twice a year, respectively against the Clippers and the Lakers, because of different divisions, they only meet opponents twice a season, the last time the Pacers were at home because of Kobe's sudden broken finger, so they narrowly defeated the Lakers, and this time the Lakers are obviously not so easy to deal with, but this is all things that need to be considered during the game, for now, Zhang Kong does not need to care about the Lakers.

Los Angeles is the second best place in the United States to cook Chinese food among all the cities with NBA teams.

The first authentic is New York, the second authentic is Los Angeles, Los Angeles has a total of two major concentrations of Chinese food, the heart of Chinatown is one of them, here gathered a large number of older generation of immigrants from Guangdong, southern Fujian and other places, the diet is also based on Cantonese cuisine, Chaozhou cuisine, here protects a lot of old immigrants' traditions, such as selling live chickens and ducks during the day, there are also semi-vegetable stalls, selling all kinds of green vegetables and spices, just like the local vegetable market in China.

The restaurants here are also related to this part of the diet, selling barbecued pork, selling bacon, and most importantly, it is only a 10-minute drive from the Staples Center, and many people like to eat here before going to the arena.

However, Zhang Kong is not interested in Cantonese cuisine and Teochew cuisine, after all, he is from the Northeast and is not used to eating these southern foods.

So after Zhang Kong came to Los Angeles, he basically went to another concentration of Chinese food, which is near Mengshi in the northeast of the city center, which is a Chinese gathering place where rock formations have only grown in the past ten years. There is a paragraph in it about Uncle Ge Jiaomeng City police learning Chinese, in the movie Ge You said 'There are a large number of Chinese immigrants living in Mengchao and do not understand English, so the police need to learn Chinese!' ', Uncle Ge did not lie, Mengshi is indeed inhabited by many Chinese immigrants, but also because of the penetration of Chinese, now this area is full of Chinese restaurants, unlike the city center of Chinatown, there are many immigrants living here in the northerners, but also because of the Yan such restaurants The types of restaurants have also become more, Zhang Kong came to the City of Angels, will definitely come here to eat.

There are Shandong-style restaurants here, Yanjing-style restaurants are everywhere, there is a roast duck seller, it is famous for roast duck three meals nearby, usually want to eat, then you must book a place first, and it costs more than 100 dollars to eat a meal.

But this is only what Zhang Kong has heard, because Zhang Kong never eats roast duck because he doesn't eat anything fatty.

Jim O'Brien doesn't care what Zhang Kong eats, but he will never allow such a thing as fat meat.

So after Zhang Kong came here, he often went to a restaurant in Shandong or the Northeast to eat, the beef burritos in the Shandong Hotel, as well as the dishes sold in the Northeast Hotel, are quite good, Zhang Kong likes to go to a restaurant opened by a fat Harbin man to eat, the last time he came here to eat can be traced back to the last time he played the Clippers, when Zhang Kong was not used to eating the team and hotel meals, so Taylor Swivet took Zhang Kong to eat here, and it was because of that time that Zhang Kong knew this time.

This time I came back to Los Angeles to come over for a meal, ordered a plate of pot meat, a bowl of beef and persimmon stewed potatoes, a plate of three fresh, Zhang Kong started eating, in Indiana can not eat such delicious Chinese food, in Indiana Zhang Kong can only eat, the most authentic Chinese food is the one that sells steamed buns, but no matter how delicious the steamed buns are, it is difficult to compare with these dishes!

Zhang Kong, who was full of wine and food, left Mengshi like this, returned to the team, and ate a delicious meal, Zhang Kong was more confident to win the Lakers in the game, Zhang Kong came to Los Angeles, which naturally alarmed Christina, originally she wanted to find Zhang Kong, but because Zhang Kong and they finished the game, they had to fly to Portland immediately after a night's rest, so Christina could only say a few words to Zhang Kong before the game started, and then she was going back to her seat to stay.

At 10 o'clock in the evening on March 2, U.S. time, in the Staples Arena in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Lakers ushered in the challenge of the current league's No. 1, Indiana Pacers! This game can also be said to be a revenge battle for the Lakers.

Today's Lakers lineup is still the same old-fashioned, with center Andrew Bynum, power forward Pau Gasol, small forward Ron Artest, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, point guard Derrick Fisher, Odom and other players all sitting on the court.

The center on the Pacers' side is Roy Hibbert, it seems that the Pacers are ready to use Hibbert's height to impact the opponent's interior, Hibbert is two inches taller than Bynum, and the motor nerves are not bad, and the battle for the interior line is very fierce tonight.

The power forward position did not put Murphy, but let Al Jefferson appear in this position, let him defend Pau Gasol, let others defend, Jim O'Brien is not accurate in his heart, it is better to let him defend.

The small forward is naturally Danny Granger, the scoring guard Dundee Jones, the point guard is still Zhang Kong, and Mike Dunleavy plays the sixth man! Now the outside lineup on the Pacers' side is still relatively stable, but the inside line is a little unstable.

The three interior players are often swapped around, and as for the big worm Milicic, although he can now average 18 minutes per game and average 8.5 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, Jim O'Brien seems to be only a bench.

Under the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators, the orange basketball in the referee's hand slowly rose into the air, and the game officially began! Hibbert, who has a height advantage, easily slapped the ball to his side, after Zhang Kong received the ball, he did not attack directly, but let go, just this one, he dodged the old fish's adventurous steal, and then Zhang Kong ran directly towards the opponent's half, since the old fish dared to steal so risky, there was naturally a reason for his steal, when Zhang Kong just passed the half, Kobe Bryant pounced directly, today it is Kobe who defends Zhang Kong, whether it is Lao Yu or Famar, there is nothing to do about Zhang Kong.

So Phil Jackson can only send Kobe Bryant over, and they will win this game no matter what they say today.

Because according to the current record of the Pacers, they are likely to be the opponent of the Finals this year, and Phil Jackson is unlikely to enter the playoffs with the result of letting the opponent double kill! Zhang Kong's side was blocked, but fortunately, there were other people.

Zhang Kong glanced at Deng Tai Jones' running position, no one came to defend him at this time, Zhang Kong made a simple ground pass, and passed through Kobe and Artest two defenders, and easily entered the opponent's backcourt, Deng Tai Jones after receiving the ball was an empty space at this time, needless to say, Deng Tai Jones had jumped up and threw the basketball high.

But unfortunately, it may have just started, and the hand feeling was not particularly good, and the basketball smashed on the neck of the basket and bounced out.

"I'm not lucky!" Looking at Deng Tai-Jones, who had returned from retreat, Zhang Kong did not keep a straight face, but said with a smile.

In fact, he said this more because he was afraid that Deng Tai-Jones would not be able to do it in his heart, after all, this was the first goal of the opening game.

It is usually handed over to the core to play, but Zhang Kong handed over the ball to him, but unfortunately he hasn't gone in yet...... "Try harder, the other party is coming!" Zhang Kong slapped Deng Tai-Jones's arm, and then pounced on the old fish.

Bryant? That's Dundee Jones' work, and Kentai Jones's breakthrough Kobe Bryant is very virtuous.
