Chapter 540: Counterattack

readx;

In the third quarter of the game, 35-14, if you just look at the score and don't look at the team, you will definitely think that the 35 points are played by the Cavaliers, and the current Cavaliers are not happy enough to play if the score is not 30 in a single quarter, and they are happy to score 35 points in the first quarter, and 40 points are captured! But now I'm going to tell you, those 35 points have nothing to do with the Cavaliers, it's the Bulls' score. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The Cavaliers are that 14 points...... In a single quarter, the Cavaliers lost by as many as 21 points in a single quarter...... This is not a knight at all.

The outside of the Cavaliers, how to shoot and how not to shoot, this is undoubtedly very scary for a shooting team.

Fans and pundits who watched the third quarter of the game between the Cavaliers and the Bulls will not be so concerned about the current Cavaliers.

Originally, during the winning streak, although everyone was saying that defense can win the championship, but in their hearts, they were already biased towards offense, which was because of the Cavaliers' crazy offense before that, and it was because of their offense that people forgot that the interior line can win the world, and the defense can win the championship, but now these two sentences have been mentioned again.

When the Cavaliers' hand is not there, it is obvious that his offense can't be opened, and the defense can't be opened either, although their defense has been defended in place, but the tailwind of the hand has been transferred to the Bulls' side, in the third quarter of the game, the Cavaliers once wanted to fight back, but the results proved that the effect of their counterattack was almost none, and the players on the Bulls' side were like playing chicken blood.

Seeing this situation, Byron Scott decisively gave up the outside counterattack, and the current Cavaliers' outside tactics are obviously not qualified, and their defense has also been affected when the offense cannot be opened, and now they have to temporarily avoid their forwards.

At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers lost by 13 points and trailed the Bulls 75-88, and the faces of Byron Scott, Zhang Kong and other players were obviously not good-looking, and the fans in the stadium were happy to see the Bulls leading the Cavaliers at home.

Can lead the Cavaliers at home, at least prove that they are better than the Cavaliers, and as a city with six NBA championship trophies, Chicago has a sense of looking down on all NBA teams and considers themselves superior.

Although they have been in decline since Jordan is gone, the recent rise of Rose has given them hope that the Bulls are behind the Cavaliers, although they are unlikely to surpass the Cavaliers in the rankings.

But if they end the Cavaliers' 23-game winning streak, they will also be a miracle in history.

Listening to the cheers of the audience and the music released by DJ, Zhang Kong covered his head and sighed helplessly.

"Now is not the time to sigh, think of a way!" Byron Scott, who was next to him, saw Zhang Kong sigh and frowned, anyone in this team can become hopeless, but only Zhang Kong can't, because Zhang Kong is the leader of this team.

"Coach, I'm not sighing about the results, I just hate the boos of these fans......" Zhang Kong glanced at Byron Scott and smiled, he really didn't like the boos of these fans very much, and lost hope of winning? This does not exist at all in Zhang Kong's dictionary, and there are only two words in Zhang Kong's dictionary, victory! Everything else is puffy clouds.

"Hehe, then shut them up!" Maddie next to him heard Zhang Kong's words, poked Zhang Kong, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Hey brothers, I need your help in the last section!" Zhang Kong waved his hand and gathered everyone on the sidelines, in the last quarter, victory and death, Zhang Kong didn't want his 23 consecutive wins to fall here, this was not what he wanted.

"No problem, you can say it!" Seeing Zhang Kong's confident look, Carter and Jamison next to him also walked over.

"I need you to work harder on the defensive end, and I need to be ......," Zhang Kong glanced at the fans behind him and the Bulls players in the distance, then lowered his voice and began to lay out the tactics of the fourth quarter.

And Byron Scott added a few points to Zhang Kong after Zhang Kong finished speaking, and now he has some ideas to train Zhang Kong to become a field commander, for a team, an excellent field commander can top ten off-court coaches.

"Okay, that's it, let's play!" As the bell rang for the start of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers were once again in action.

Originally, everyone thought that at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers would change to a bench lineup, but it was not!

After the Cavaliers came on the court, they directly replaced the four main players, only Milicic was put off the court, and Vallejo was replaced on the court.

The lineup on the court is center Vallejo, power forward Jamison, small forward Maddy, scoring guard Carter, and point guard Zhang Kong.

In fact, these players of the Cavaliers, if they are still in their thirties, it is estimated that they need to rest off the court now, but now their bodies are not in their thirties, but their peak state, they actually have no problem playing more than 40 minutes on the court, but in order to conserve their strength and confuse the opponent, they have always been in the rotation lineup.

Even if it is Zhang Kong, he only plays about 38 minutes in a game, not to mention other players, he only has 35 minutes of playing time, and the rest of the time the Cavaliers are training recruits, such as Gordon Hayward, J.J. Hickson, these players have a lot of playing time, for rookies and substitutes, the Cavaliers are obviously a player who takes great care of the bench players.

Guys like Adam Morrison can play on the court and play for at least five minutes, which shows that the Cavaliers take good care of them, because the jump ball in the first quarter was jumped by the Bulls, so in the fourth quarter, the serve is still the Bulls' serve.

Because the morale of the third quarter came, after Rose dribbled past half court, he didn't pay much attention to Zhang Kong's defense.

Breaking through the dribble directly, Zhang Kong saw that Rose actually dribbled and broke through, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, and immediately took a step back, blocking Rose in front of Rose with his chest, Rose saw Zhang Kong coming to block, so he changed the direction to break through, but who knows, Maddie, who has been very slow to react in the third quarter, actually blocked directly on the other side of himself, just in his stunned kung fu.

Zhang Kong's little hand suddenly flashed, and he added a steal before the game for nothing, and his hand slashed directly at the basketball in Rose's hand.

The huge power made Rose have no way to control the ball at all, and as soon as the basketball rolled, Rose immediately wanted to fall to the ground and copy the basketball, but Zhang Kong was faster, and after Zhang Kong directly copied the basketball into his hand, he went down quickly, Maddie and Carter were also fast, and the three-line fast attack, and at this time, there was only one Kurt Thomas on the Bulls' side.

Kurt Thomas saw Zhang Kong's three-line fast attack, and did not rush to attack, a veteran like him naturally knew what should happen at this time, he just stood firmly in his three-second zone, moving from time to time, so as not to let himself defend for three seconds, and then waited for the Cavaliers to make mistakes, sure enough, Kurt Thomas and other mistakes appeared, after Zhang Kong dribbled the ball past half court, he directly distributed the ball to Carter next to him, Carter held the ball and made a feint, but unfortunately did not shake Kurt Thomas.

Then Carter was about to go to the basket, and Kurt Thomas's big hand was already in front of Carter, and it was impossible to get to the basket.

But Carter didn't get as strong as Kurt Thomas thought, but pulled the ball back that was about to be shot, and then threw it directly to the outside, by which time the players on the Bulls' side had already returned to defense, but there was only one point that was not yet there.

At this point of Zhang Kong, it is Ross who defends Zhang Kong, and at this time, Ross is still half a position behind Zhang Kong because he just got up, and Zhang Kong is facing such a vacancy, how can he let it go? After receiving the ball, Zhang Kong jumped high.

Slowly threw the basketball in his hand to the basket, the basketball drew an almost perfect arc in the air, and then gently fell into the net, three points, the Cavaliers completed their first fast break at the beginning, Zhang Kong's steal and Carter's assist, helped the Cavaliers recover three points, the Cavaliers originally fell behind by 13 points, became ten, and the first offense worked.

Although the Cavaliers' first attack worked, Hiberdeau's side of the Bulls didn't care too much, because the Cavaliers' ball obviously accounted for a lot of luck, if Zhang Kong didn't steal Rose, how could he complete this fast break?

Zhang Kong's steal doesn't look so tough in Heberdu, at least he doesn't care about Zhang Kong's steal, you have the ability to keep grabbing Zhang Kong, see if you can grab five in one quarter! Sometimes people do things, the sky is watching, since Heberdu is so sincere to let Zhang Kong grab five in one section, if Zhang Kong doesn't do what Uncle Heberdu says, I think he may be angry!

Zhang Kong's addition of points is not for nothing, he will consider a lot of things before adding points, and it is not for nothing that he adds steals in this game, because the Bulls side seems to have another fatal weakness in Zhang Kong, this weakness is on Rose's body, the Bulls' defense has nothing to say, and the strength of the combat effectiveness is beyond everyone's expectations.

And the Bulls' offense is very weak, if it goes well, like in the third quarter, they have a lot of offensive points, but if they don't go well, then their offensive points will be less pitiful, only three points will become stable offensive points, Rose, Boozer and Rohr Deng, and these three people have a characteristic, they don't like to pass!
