Chapter 324: One Man's Three Points of Rain
"Zhang, I ask you to increase the number of shots!" At halftime, Jim O'Brien gave the Pacers' offensive order in the second half, and those coaches originally asked those players to reduce their shots even if they said that there was a problem with the number of shots, but only for Zhang Kong, he asked Zhang Kong to increase the number of shots, which was really a bit surprising.
"The other players have the opportunity to play by themselves, and if there is no good opportunity, they will hand over the ball to Zhang Kong and he will be in charge, Zhang Kong, if you want to win the Celtics now, you can only rely on you!" Looking at Zhang Kong, who was sitting there a little helpless, Jim O'Brien threw all his trust in him, and with that trust, the Pacers' players returned to the court.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Pacers still didn't find too good opportunities, while the Celtics still did that.
You defend his inside line, he still has people on the outside, you guard his outside line, he has time on the inside, such a team is the most difficult to play, as long as he feels good in the whole team, it is almost impossible to limit him.
But fortunately, on Granger's side, although the feel is not good, but the impact is still there, and Hibbert on the inside can also help Zhang Kong share the offensive pressure, at the beginning of the second half, Ray Allen received the ball after Paul Pierce broke through, and hit a shot 12 feet away from the basket, allowing the Celtics to pull away again, 69-64, and the difference came to five points.
Kendrick Perkins then received a pass from Rondo, and although the pass was not good, he still received it.
Then he leaned on Hibbert, relying on his size and skill, turned around and hit a hook shot, and then scored two more points.
The gap of five points instantly became 7 points, and seeing such a situation, Zhang Kong knew that it was not time for him to hesitate there.
It's time to attack on your own, great players, all alone! Whether it's Jordan, or now Kobe, James, it's all alone!
Because they believe that they can lead the team to victory at a critical moment, and Zhang Kong has already made 10 guarded three-pointers in the first round at this time, and now he is shooting in the second round, and the devil knows what the second round is.
Zhang Kong once again stood in the Celtics' half this time, and Rondo on the opposite side did not dare to lower his center of gravity and bend down to defend in the face of Zhang Kong.
Because Zhang Kong's height is much more fierce than him, if he lowers his center of gravity, Zhang Kong's shooting in front of him will be even more unscrupulous, which Rondo does not want to see, so he has always held his body and stood in front of Zhang Kong, wanting to prevent him! In fact, if it was just one Rondo, Zhang Kong would not be afraid of him, but when he thought of the Celtics' team defense, Zhang Kong was also a little stunned, because the Celtics don't talk about chivalry, and they rarely go heads-up on the field.
It is easy for Zhang Kong to break through Rondo, but he will definitely be entangled by Rondo, an existence with an extremely strong sense of defense, and when the time comes, one person will come to the inside line, and Zhang Kong will be dangerous, not to mention that the Celtics sometimes have more than one person in the bag, and they will pack three at a time!
After Zhang Kong hesitated on the outside, he was still ready to come by himself! Slowly put down the center of gravity, suddenly a step up, with the ball rushed towards the left side of Rondo, Rondo saw Zhang Kong rushing over, so many times, he also knew that Zhang Kong's breakthrough was very sharp, with his own level, it was almost impossible to block Zhang Kong, so he took a step back, ready to stick to Zhang Kong at any time, although he was hard to defend, unable to prevent Zhang Kong's breakthrough, but if he wanted to stick to Zhang Kong, it would be much easier, but his action, long within Zhang Kong's prediction, saw Rondo retreat, Zhang Kong did not break through.
Instead, it was an emergency stop, Zhang Kong had a pair of steely knees, mainly because he had recovery stones, so he didn't worry about too much pressure on his knees, but even so, Zhang Kong felt that his knees were hot.
But now he doesn't have the time to care about the knee problem, because the vacancy has already let him get out, a simple step back, Zhang Kong jumped outside the three-point line, gently sent the basketball out, seeing Zhang Kong's shooting, Rondo can only helplessly tilt his head, looking at the trajectory of the basketball in the air, the basketball gently turned into the basket, and turned three or four times on the top of the basket, but obviously Zhang Kong's character is not good, and the basketball still fell out after three or four turns.
"Who's special!" Looking at the situation on the court, Zhang Kong couldn't help but curse secretly, his new round of ten shots seemed to start with failure! But fortunately, Hibbert, who was on the inside, stepped forward at a critical moment, with the advantage of height and a pair of long arms, Parkins took the basketball into his arms first, and then jumped high and wanted to dunk the basketball.
But the grumpy Perkins fouled first, although it destroyed Hibbert's balance, but Hibbert still relied on his superhuman reach and height to gently put the basketball into the basket, watching the basketball hit, and the referee's whistle also sounded, and the entire Pacers lineup was boiling, and the goal was indeed very beautiful.
"Well done!" Zhang Kong walked over from the outside, slapped Hibbert's big hand hard, and laughed loudly.
Hibbert entered this 2+1, and he was very happy in his heart, he could finally prove his strength.
Hibbert's free throws were still relatively stable, and the basketball did not have any pause, so he fell directly into the basket and hit a three-point success!
But the residual heat of playing three points has not subsided, the Green Army over there has made a comeback, and Rondo is still very dead by Zhang Kong on the outside, but he has learned well this time, since it is difficult for him to break through Zhang Kong, then he will not break through, basketball is five people.
After Rondo took the ball around, he directly handed the ball to the second point guard next to him, standing in the hands of Ray Allen, who was standing in the scoring guard position, Ray Allen's strongest shot was naturally, but the veteran, basically had a good vision!
Ray Allen played as a defender, and his natural vision was also good, and after the ball was in his hands, he didn't attack on his own.
Instead, he hoisted directly into the inner line, didn't even stop the ball, and handed the ball into Garnett's hands, after Garnett took the ball, in the face of Tyrus Thomas, a simple shoulder shake made Tyrus Thomas misjudge, so that he could only watch him, it was a very beautiful backward jumper, Garnett except for the three points are not very reliable, as long as he is anywhere in the three-point line, his jump shot is still quite reliable, and the basketball fell directly into the basket, instantly offset the impact of Hibbert's three-point shot just now, and at the critical moment, Zhang Kong passed the ball again, hit the ground and handed it to Granger.
At this time, Granger has stepped back from the run, opened up the distance with Pierce, and at this time he only has the basket in front of him, dunk the ball in, and the morale of the Pacers will still rise, but Leather Bald will not let Granger dunk like this anyway.
Granger pulled it as soon as it was done, although he was sent to the free throw line, but it didn't let him dunk, causing morale on the Pacers' side, the Celtics can personally experience the horror of the Pacers' hand after the outbreak, no matter what team it is, they will shoot you to death, and the offensive ability is better than the old Nelson's Warriors! Known as the league's most luxurious backcourt, the Pacers have four spears, as long as there are two shots, the Pacers will be an impossible team to beat, and there is no one...... Granger hit two free throws, and the two sides continued to maintain this alternate scoring trend, and the Pacers couldn't limit the Celtics.
And the Celtics also struggled to limit the Pacers' offense, and in the first half, the incomparably magical three-pointer is now extinguished. Zhang Kong shot five three-pointers in a row in this quarter, none of them scored, and Jim O'Brien, who was watching, kept shaking his head off the court, only Zhang Kong knew that in the next five three-pointers, there will be 4 must score, and one may score!
"Zhang, is there a problem?" As Granger retreated, he looked at Zhang Kong next to him and asked with a worried expression.
He really needs to worry, because at this time, the Pacers' side has been stretched to 11 points by the other side, just like this mutual offensive and defensive conversion, there are only so many people on the Pacers' side who can score, Zhang Kong only scored two points in the third quarter, and although Granger is good, but his three points are not bright, Hibbert on the inside, the offensive end is okay, but the defensive end is too poor!
Seeing this situation, Zhang Kong didn't know what to say, so he could only nod to Granger, who asked him, and seeing that Zhang Kong still had the confidence to fight, Jim O'Brien hesitated for a moment and didn't replace Zhang Kong.
He also counted on Zhang Kong to perform miracles! There is a saying that as long as you believe, miracles will happen!
The next time Zhang Kong held the ball, everyone felt that the momentum on his body had changed, he wanted to change the current situation on the court, dribbling after half the court, Zhang Kong did not hesitate as before, but directly on the outside of the three points! Rondo watched Zhang Kong throw another three points, and couldn't help but smile lightly, Zhang Kong's hand in this section was not good, he was not afraid of Zhang Kong throwing three points! But before he could finish laughing, the basket over there had already made a brushing sound!
"Entered?" Looking at the scoreboard behind him and jumping up three points in an instant, Rondo's big eyes were round and surprised! But that's not all. The second offense of the Pacers, it is still three points, it is still that position, it is still empty!
"Brush!" Another three-pointer, this time the audience began to hum, and Jim O'Brien, who was already sitting there with his hands over his face and couldn't bear to look any longer, raised his head to look at the situation on the field in surprise.
"Brother Xinkong, that's how confident you are!" At this time, Zhang Kong's third three-pointer hit again, pointing to the sky with one hand, shocking the audience!
