Since late 2001, the Heat haven't won even once against the Pacers at Conseco.

But as soon as the game began, the Heat showed their strong offensive ability, and they did not trail the Pacers by even one point from the beginning, but the Pacers' side was not pulled away, and TJ Ford has now completely ignored Zhang Kong.

His passing is really bad, but he can break through, and he can score himself. So when he started to score, Jim O'Brien didn't say anything, he was still observing the movement on the court, although Zhang Kong was also running on the court, but he didn't try to organize the offense, but on the defensive end, he did quite well, Wade didn't have many ways to play under Zhang Kong's defense, and when there were 5 minutes and 12 seconds left in the first quarter, the Pacers called a timeout and replaced Troy Murphy, who had just returned from injury and was not in very good shape, with Jeff Foster. The Heat replaced Michael Beasley with Haslem, and the score was 15-11 at this time, and the Pacers trailed the Heat by four points at home, and the shooting percentage on both sides was particularly low.

The two teams that advocate offense only played a 19-13 score with 4 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter, which was really a bit unexpected by others.

And just when everyone thought that this game would slowly go on like this, Joel Anthony on the Heat's side was the first to strike.

He first received an assist from Mario Chanmos for a layup, then assisted Haslem for a powerful dunk, and then DaQuan Cook on the outside was not polite and shot a three-pointer directly from a step away from the three-point line! The score of the two teams opened up in an instant, and Jim O'Brien couldn't sit still on the court, and immediately called Earl Watson to replace TJ Ford on the court, because this old boy is now like a fly without a head, constantly spinning around on the court, and except for the four points he got at the beginning, this old boy didn't score a point, but he wasted the offensive opportunities on the Pacers' side!

There was no way, Jim O'Brien had to let Earl Watson come off the bench and then hand over the banner of organizing the offense to Zhang Kong, who had just transferred to TJ Ford this season, and the Pacers also expected a lot of from him, after all, his annual salary was not small.

But depending on the level he has played in the last few games, it can only be said that it is improvised, not even average, and Zhang Kong is obviously an unexpected gain, after Earl Watson played, although he still played the No. 1 position, but it is obvious that the person who organized the offense has shifted from point guard to Zhang Kong's body, and just after halftime, Earl Watson handed the basketball into Zhang Kong's hands.

This is the first time Zhang Kong has won the ball in a sports battle in this game, yes! TJ Ford simply ignored Zhang Kong, didn't even pass the ball to him during the game, and Zhang Kong's remaining time to touch the ball was when he sent the ball out of bounds.

Earl Watson didn't learn like TJ Ford and put the ball in Zhang Kong's hands after halftime.

Zhang Kong carried the ball, looking at Wade in front of him, today Zhang Kong defended Wade, Wade is also defending Zhang Kong, Wade now has a total of three baskets, but unfortunately one missed, two points were broken through, causing Hibbert to foul and cheat, but obviously this year's Zhang Kong, there is no last year, that point does not let you get ruthless, chewing gum easily, Zhang Kong looked up at the basket in front of him.

When someone is defending, it is impossible to play any pull-out jumpers with Zhang Kong's surname, but others don't know.

Seeing Zhang Kong raise his head, Wade took a step forward for the first time, wanting to defend Zhang Kong, and Zhang Kong was waiting for him to take this step.

The fast ball was handed over to the right hand, and then the instant burst of speed and strength was used, and when Wade had not yet stood firm, he broke through like a fly, Wade was hit by Zhang Kong, and his body couldn't bear it at all, so he naturally gave way to the position, allowing Zhang Kong to easily break through to the inside line.

Haslem on the inside saw Zhang Kong break through, and his heart couldn't help jumping, letting a guard break through, which was not fun, so Haslem appeared in front of Zhang Kong for the first time, opened his arms, and blocked Zhang Kong.

I hope I can stop Zhang Kong, but where is Zhang Kong so easy to stop, leaning on Haslem's body, Haslem felt a huge force coming, someone has always said that Zhang Kong's power is invincible in the alliance, but looking at his small arms and legs now, it is hard to imagine that this guy's ** strength is so terrifying!

Haslem was squeezed open a gap, but Zhang Kong did not continue to break through, but took the ball with both hands, took advantage of this gap, and threw the ball directly behind Haslem, a white and yellow figure flashed, after picking up the basketball, he hit the basket directly, Danny Greenger, just now he just wanted to run back and dodge the opponent's defense, but he didn't expect that just ran to the position, Zhang Kong's pass was sent over, and after the ball went in, Granger looked at Zhang Kong and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Seeing that Zhang Kong actually helped Granger break the deadlock, Jim O'Brien couldn't help but jump out of his chair excitedly.

"Beautiful! Zhang Kong continued to organize, and when defending, Zhang Kong was the core! Jim O'Brien shouted loudly from the bench, Zhang Kong's passing ability was not very strong, he had just increased to 70, and he couldn't do too beautiful and weird passes.

At most, he can now guarantee that the orthodox pass will not be stealed by others, and the pass like the white chocolate Jason Williams at the beginning, with the current passing ability of Zhang Kong, he is now compared with those super point guards, the only advantage is that his vision is no dead end, just like just now, he obviously turned around, but he still knows the position of Granger, as long as he knows the position of his teammates anytime and anywhere, Zhang Kong's pass can always find them.

After TJ Ford watched Zhang Kong start to organize the attack, sure enough, the team's morale and offensive and defensive qualities have improved to a certain extent.

I was even more unhappy in my heart, thinking that when he was in the Bucks, he had always played as a starter, and then because of the appearance of Xiao Mo, he was traded to the Raptors, and he played in the Raptors for two years, and he has always played as a starter, and then Calderon came and began to play as a substitute.

Now the bench didn't play a few games, and it went directly to the Pacers, last season in the Pacers, played a total of 74 games, but only 49 starts, and this year is even more rare, just played a few games, his playing time was compressed by Zhang Kong, people are selfish, he TJ Ford, now he is extremely unhappy Zhang Kong this guy, in his opinion Zhang Kong is the team's cancer, want to get rid of it quickly, but unfortunately, looking at Zhang Kong's performance on the court now, it is not easy to get rid of him.

Zhang Kong's passing did not have the effect of bringing the team back to life like those passing masters, but his passes and assists were extremely consistent, and he slowly chased the score on the court with the Pacers for the remaining two minutes.

With 2 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, Zhang Kong held the ball into the interior and completed the last layup, the Pacers at home, slowly chased the score to 28-25, only trailing by 3 points at home, and in the last two minutes, the tactics of using Zhang Kong as the core of the defense really took effect, and only O'Neal Jr. on the Heat side cheated a foul on the inside, made two free throws and two hits, scored two points, and the others did not score a point, so with such a score, both sides entered the second quarter of the game.

The second quarter of the game is the time of the bench, Zhang Kong was replaced by the original Rockets player, Luthor Hyde, it can be said that in the team, Zhang Kong has the best relationship with Luthor Hyde and Earl Watson, the former is because he used to be Yao Ming's teammate, he knows some about China, and he can also say a few words to Zhang Kong, and the latter is the time when Zhang Kong is on the court, he benefits the most.

Zhang Kong's passing, always find the best position, Granger is the first point, and Watson is the second point, because Watson likes to run, can always pull out the space, as long as he has a space, that space will definitely pass the ball in the first time.

Zhang Kong played a game and scored only 2 points in total, but he handed out 3 assists in two minutes, and he also delivered two blocks and a rebound in the whole quarter.

Now it's hard to see a guy like Zhang Kong who doesn't score by himself, but who assists his teammates, such a selfless player is always the most needed in a team.

Looking at the teammates who were particularly friendly to Zhang Kong on the bench, the fans at home were a little overwhelmed.

They clearly saw Zhang Kong's status on the field, although there were still some fans who were dissatisfied with him when Zhang Kong got the ball. The boos were all over the place, but Zhang Kong's performance won the support of more fans.

At least now his assists are definitely the highest on the team, and his selfless style of play has infected the rest of the Pacers.

In the second quarter of the game, the Pacers controlled the rebounding ball well from the beginning, and in the first quarter of the game, the more depressed Hibbert's continuous basket attack also made the opponent's point difference not widen, but had a tendency to narrow.

With 7 minutes and 46 seconds left in the second quarter, Granger came on first, replacing Dundee Jones, and then with 6 minutes and 12 seconds left in the second quarter, the Heat began to make a big change, first replacing Joel Anthony, who did well at the end of the first quarter, with Dwyane Wade, and then replacing Daquin Cook with Mario Money, and finally Jamaine O'Neal for Carlos Arroyo.

When Jim O'Brien saw Wade on the court, he immediately moved Zhang Kong to the court and replaced Luther Head.
