Chapter 170: Organization and Destruction
On Rasheed Wallace's side, bullying the Pacers' bench interior was not much of a problem, and he turned around and hit a jumper.
But fortunately, the Pacers still have this guy on Granger's side, and Granger's three-point shot successfully helped the Pacers chase the score back.
Then this year's rookie, Tyler Hansblu, this guy hit a layup and scored two points, this year's current situation, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a draft year, except for the top Blake Griffin who has not played a game and is reimbursed for the season, the rest of the players are not too bad, although Hashim Thabit is not very good in the Grizzlies, but after all, he is in the name of Uncle Mu II. James Harden has become the most consistent sixth man in the Thunder for Durant.
Tyrek Evans, who successfully became the leader of the Kings in the summer, went through a lot of trades this summer, and finally traded for the No. 4 pick, but it was a bit chilling to sell all the heroes such as Miller.
No. 5 Ricky Rubio didn't come to the NBA, and No. 6 Joni Flynn has been confirmed to be the Timberwolves' starting point guard.
No. 7 Stephen Curry was turned into an offensive master by Nelson Sr., with top-notch playmaking and top-notch offensive ability!
Eighth place Jordan Hill, who also has high hopes for the Knicks, heard that the Rockets are playing his mind lately.
DeRozan, the ninth, is at least a little famous now, and Jennings, the tenth, is also playing well in the Bucks.
As the thirteenth Tyler Hansbrough, he also had some playing time with the Pacers, although he didn't play [***] first, but among the bench players, he definitely has his right to shoot. The two teams battled to 31-31 and then 33-33.
The second quarter lasted until 7 minutes and 14 seconds remained, when the Pacers called a timeout, because with Perkins' layup, the score on both sides was pulled apart a bit, and the main thing was to protect Hibbert.
Then Zhang Kong came on the court, substituted Roy Hibbert, and Solomon Jones came on the field, temporarily topped the fifth position, and let Zhang Kong come back to play the second position, because the person on the second position now is none other than Ray Allen, who scored one after another just now.
After Zhang Kong came on the court, the defensive quality improved instantly, and the defensive Ray Allen couldn't find any opportunities on the outside, so he could only pass the ball to Sheldon Williams, but because the pass was too powerful, he was directly stealed by TJ Ford, who hit a layup.
As Zhang Kong came on, the Pacers slowly pulled the score back, at which time the head coach of the Celtics, Doug Rivers, glanced at his watch and felt that the time was almost up, and made some adjustments to the game during a dead ball time when Zhang Kong caused a foul by Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo came on and substituted Eddie House.
At this time, the Celtics have replaced all of their main players on the court, and Hibbert on the Pacers' side is still off the court.
This guy is too prone to fouling, and when Murphy can't attract enough firepower, it's up to Hibbert to fight himself.
Rondo was the last main player to take the pitch, and his presence made Jim O'Brien on the sidelines a little uneasy.
Because this guy is a master of controlling the rhythm, some friends don't understand, and he doesn't play the piano, where does the rhythm come from?
In fact, rhythm is everywhere, it can become any sound, live around you and in the corner.
Imperceptibly affects you, such as your breathing, your steps, the speed at which you eat and speak...... It's all in the rhythm, and Rondo is a master of controlling the rhythm, some people say that Rondo has the potential to become the fourth big man of the Celtics, which Zhang Kong also believes that if Rondo becomes a superstar, then the super kill he started is the control of the rhythm of the game, and then it will not be so easy to break his rhythm at that time.
But fortunately, he is not a superstar player now, and Zhang Kong also has a task to kill the opponent today to be considered officially advanced to level 60, after Rondo played, the rhythm of the entire Celtics changed, if Rondo is not there, the Celtics are also as strong, but it is difficult for them to run out of the proper routine and formation, because they do not have a reliable passer.
And when Rondo is on the field, they can trust this young kid, who may not have good offensive ability, but he can find the right way to the ball in all the routines, and then send the ball directly to his teammates.
When Rondo is not on the court, the Celtics rely more on their own individual ability of singles, so to show their personal ability of singles, the power is not small, but for veterans, it is more important to easily win the game, and the offense of the routine is undoubtedly much easier than their own singles, don't look at the score on both sides of the court now, the Pacers rely more on their own hand advantage, if you wait until the advantage of the hand disappears, the Pacers will become a fly in the spider's web.
And Rondo is a spider web, the most important spider node, when he played, the Celtics' lineup was also under the command of Doug Rivers, and became a different look, with Rondo's command, the four players on the other Celtics on the field, all ran to the half, and then he slowly arrived at the half, and began to organize the Celtics' offense.
"Smack...... ......"Every time the basketball and the floor are knocked, it shakes the hearts of all the players present, Zhang Kong even feels that his heartbeat is slowly moving closer to the knock in front of him, this is not good news, Zhang Kong's eyes gradually narrowed, and after looking at Jim O'Brien next to him, Jim O'Brien nodded lightly.
Zhang Kong instantly abandoned his defense Ray Allen rushed to Rondo, and on Rondo's side, TJ Ford completed the change of defense with Zhang Kong almost instantly, and did not give the other party any chance, at this time Zhang Kong directly faced Rondo, in the Celtics team, the biggest threat is not Rondo, the big three are more threatening than him, but if you want to win the Celtics, you must destroy Rondo's rhythm! Just like when playing with the Nuggets, Anthony is the core of the team and the leader of the team, but if you want to win the Nuggets, the most important thing is to limit Billups, Anthony can score 40 points, he can score 50 points, but he can't win the game, in the same way, the Big Three can win a lot of points, they can win the game, but if you want to win easily, you need Rondo's control of the rhythm! But when it comes to controlling the rhythm, Zhang Kong won't give him a chance.
When Zhang Kong came to Rondo, he came directly to disrupt his rhythm, what is Zhang Kong's strongest point? Defensive ability! His strength and physical strength are beyond the reach of Rondo, plus Zhang Kong has also rested for a long time, so now Zhang Kong is ready to use a strong one against Xiao Rondo! Looking at Zhang Kong rubbing his hands, making the joints on his hands click, with an evil smile on his face, half-squinting his eyes, and walking towards himself with a wicked smile, Rondo's innocent big eyes suddenly fanned out that he was very puzzled, he didn't understand, he was just over half, why did this guy come over.
In other words, this guy Rondo is indeed very positive, growing up in the world of these barbarians in the NBA, he is relatively delicate, and with a pair of big, watery eyes comparable to ET, it is really ...... It feels a little hilarious.
Seeing Zhang Kong pounce on himself with his teeth and claws, Rondo didn't even have a chance to resist, so he directly let Zhang Kong's chest hit his arm, and usually when he broke through, he would use his arm to push the opponent's chest and put pressure on the other party.
It's good to let the other party squeeze himself to the weak side, because it's not easy to shoot, but I really haven't seen it, take the initiative to squeeze his own defenders, Zhang Kong did this, not only Rondo was stunned, even the audience was stunned.
Only the Pacers players didn't mean to be stunned at all, because Zhang Kong had already told them during the break just now that he was already wary of Rondo using the rhythm control method to help the Celtics, so Zhang Kong would break him.
It's just that I didn't expect that Zhang Kongpo's way to control Rondo's rhythm turned out to be like this, Rondo is not too thin among the defenders, for example, if he is all thin, then players like Nash will not have to look at it at all.
But in front of Zhang Kong, he is at most a well-developed bean sprout! As soon as it hit, it directly squeezed Rondo to the side, and before Rondo could figure out what was going on, he stepped on the middle line and returned to the field, which was the home field.
The referee's whistle could not be biased to help the Celtics, and it blew directly, seeing that Zhang Kong's weird defense was actually useful, the fans in the audience burst into cheers, and now among the entire Indiana basketball fans, Zhang Kong's image is definitely one of the Peugeot of the Pacers, not only because of the Chinese market behind him, but also because of his attitude and intensity of play.
He can always find some strange ways and strange moves to reverse the team's disadvantage on the field.
Just like now, Rondo took the ball and slammed it the floor, and he was so wronged when he returned to the court.
When others come back, they all make mistakes, or they are stealed by others, and they are directly pushed back, but the other party doesn't use their hands, isn't this a foul? The referee gave a clear answer, it doesn't count!
Lazy people have a characteristic, they like to exploit loopholes, whether it is a loophole in the law or a loophole in common sense, they like to drill, so that they can solve very troublesome things in a short time, Zhang Kong is very lazy, now in addition to practice, he doesn't like to do anything else, so he also likes to exploit loopholes very much, remember Zhang Kong's deliberate foul last season?
That's also a bit of a loophole, and this season, he didn't need to deliberately foul, but began to look for other loopholes.
"You Rondo controls the pace of the game very well, I admit it, and it's not easy for me to spoil it now!" Zhang Kong looked at Rondo, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, he didn't care that Rondo next to him looked at him, his eyes were about to burst into flames!
