Chapter 51: The Walkers (Two Updates in a Row!) )
That night, almost everyone knew that Zhang Kong must have something to do, and the atmosphere in the whole team was a little dull for a while, although they had just won the game, but looking at Zhang Kong's situation, they couldn't be happy, although Zhang Kong was usually very bad, but after all, he was also a member of the Kings team.
Looking at Zhang Kong sitting at the back of the car, Kenny Knight hesitated, he received an order that in these four consecutive games, he should let Zhang Kong start, and then let him defend the opponent's sharp soldiers, but now in this situation, he really doesn't know how to let Zhang Kong start, Kenny Knight, no, it should be said that all coaches, don't like to be the opposite of the player, although Kenny Knight is a loyal lackey of the owner Marouf, but he is also afraid that he will cause public anger.
The only person in this team who can say that he is leaving, he is leaving, is Marouf.
"It looks like I need to discuss it with the boss......" Looking at Zhang Kong, who was sitting at the back of the team, Kenny Knight had a hint of intercession with the boss in his heart for the first time, and at this time, Ma'rouf was also thinking about how to make more money from Zhang Kong, and how to minimize his losses......
"Prepare a contract with an annual salary of five million dollars!" At this time in Sacramento, after watching the game, Ma'aulf said to his men that in his opinion, the most important thing he needs now is to sign a $5 million contract with Zhang Kong.
At the same time, the contract signed at the beginning was revoked, and if Zhang Kongken agreed, he Marufu would be willing to give Zhang Kong five million.
After all, Zhang Kong's current level is enough for this identity, but thinking of the relationship between the two, Maluf is not sure.
When Kenny Knight called, it was when Marouf was trying to figure out how to improve the relationship between the two.
"Boss, anyway, if you want to sign a contract, you have to wait until these four away games are over, it's better to sell him a face, anyway, four games, if you win, if you lose, you can't lose much, if he agrees to sign a new contract, then the better he plays, the greater the benefits to the boss!" Just as Ma'' was hesitating, Ma' secretary, a long-legged blonde girl, slowly pushed her glasses and whispered.
This Ma'Louf's secretary is called Joanna Chris, and she is the secretary Ma'rouf just found recently, the reason, of course, is because she is good-looking, none of these bosses are serious, and they have a leg with their own secretary, which is a common thing.
And Joanna looks like she has just graduated, and it's the best time to get started, and at the same time, this guy's IQ is not low.
Listening to Joanna's words, Ma'rouf thought about it for a moment...... Then a new command was given to Kenny Knight on the other side of the phone.
No. 2 is going to play the Pistons, No. 3 is going to play the Pacers, it's a back-to-back game.
Zhang Kong doesn't seem to be too interested in Xia Xueshan's departure on the surface, but there will be some fluctuations in his heart, and after thinking about it for a night, Zhang Kong is almost certain that Ma'ruf will fix him today.
Defending the opponent's All-Star level player, small forward Danny Granger, but today's surprise is that Zhang Kong did not enter the starting list, which made Zhang Kong a little surprised, Ma'a'Rouf actually let himself go!
The Kings started today with center Miller, power forward Mickey Moore, small forward John Salmons, shooting guard Francesco Garcia, point guard Bino Udri, Zhang Kong and Kevin Martin all sitting on the bench.
The opposing lineup, center rookie Roy Hibbert, one of the representatives of the power forward's all-round interior, Troy Murphy.
Small forward Pacers' only All-Star level representative, Danny Granger, scoring guard Marquis Daniels, point guard Jared Jack, such a lineup, although it doesn't look good, in fact, the offensive aspect is still remarkable, Murphy can attack in any position, under the basket, outside the three-point line, there is almost no blind spot for his offense.
A big man who can shoot three-pointers, as long as his offensive means are not particularly bad and his physical strength is consumed, then he can get a pretty good annual salary in the NBA, the Turkish Oku, the current Murphy, the Raptors' Canadian champion and so on.
What's more, the Pacers still have a vote of TJ Ford and others on the bench, although the two teams have similar records.
One is 11 wins and 21 losses, the other is 13 wins and 20 losses, half a catty against eight taels, and the battle values on both sides are about the same.
Because Zhang Kong did not play, this game was destined to be an offensive against offensive game from the beginning.
In the first quarter of the game, the two teams played a high score, 37-33, and it was surprising that the Pacers actually trailed the Kings by a full 4 points at home, and in the second quarter of the game, the scores on both sides were still high, although most of them were played off the bench.
30-35, the Kings reversed the lead in the second quarter! The Pacers instead led the Kings by one point at halftime, 68-67.
The score of more than 60 has been played in the half, which is really a bit surprising, even if it is a game played by two bad teams, but the scene is very good-looking, because both teams are basically only attacking, rarely defending.
At the end of the half, Kenny Knight sent a new lineup, Zhang Kong officially appeared in the third quarter of the game, replacing Garcia's defensive No. 2 position, such a defensive position, which made Zhang Kong a little surprised, and it was Martin who defended the No. 3 position.
But Martin and Granger, the two guys are in the opposite position...... What a defense!
The only defense that Granger can defend is blocking, and he usually pays more attention to offense, while Martin only attacks, not defends, such a level of defense is indeed a bit surprising, but it also gives Zhang Kong a chance.
Daniels, who is defending in the air, is a vegetable sprout, and he is very similar to Odom, that is, he likes to wander his mind.
Sometimes when I play ball, my attention is distracted by the camera next to me!
However, no matter what, Odom can play a game seriously for a few minutes, and he will not take tens of millions of contracts in vain.
And Daniels, first, can't get tens of millions of contracts, and second, even if he is serious, it doesn't actually make sense.
Unless the player opposite him is a big colander, but unfortunately, the guy who is playing opposite him now is a rookie named Zhang Kong.
Zhang Kong has already secured the position of the first defensive person in this generation of rookies, and if Zhang Kong maintains his defensive intensity, he is likely to become the first echelon of defense in his first year in the NBA.
No matter what the other party thinks, the second half of the game didn't start, in the case of Zhang Kong on the court, the offensive pressure on the Pacers' side increased sharply, Zhang Kong had no other skills, only one move, blocking, defense! With Zhang Kong's three big hats fanned out, the rhythm of the Pacers' side was completely messed up, if Zhang Kong was on a strong team, then he could already take advantage of this opportunity to kill the other party, but no matter how you look at it, the Kings team has nothing to do with the strong team, although Zhang Kong on this side has stifled the opponent's offense.
However, Martin and they couldn't grasp the offensive advantage at all, and after the third quarter, Zhang Kong did nothing else except send three blocks in a single quarter, and the Kings also won the Pacers by one point 22-21 in a single quarter under such circumstances.
The scores of the two teams were tied, 89-89 points...... The two teams entered the final quarter of the game in harmony.
And just after the start of the final quarter, Bobby Jackson, who came off the bench for Udri, taught the Pacers a lesson.
Told them what momentum is! At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Bobby Jackson and Martin began to guide on the outside, and after three leads, Bobby Jackson was stunned to reverse the Pacers' defensive lineup and successfully opened the three-pointer.
The basketball was like a precise missile, steadily smashed into the inside of the basket and refracted into the net, and Daniels, who lacked tendons, immediately wanted to return the other party, but unfortunately, he forgot who the guy in front of him was!
When Daniels just made a layup on the front foot, Zhang Kong had already flown up behind him, and looked at the basketball that had just left Daniels's hand, Zhang Kong was like a bird with wings spread, and slapped the basketball directly on the rebound with one hand! Defend, success!
