Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Final Defensive Gate
"Substitution!" Looking at Youdri who fell to the ground in pain, the hearts of the Kings were not very comfortable, and the impact just now was obviously intentional by Posey, and this big black man took advantage of the rules of the basketball game.
Even if he deliberately rammed into Yudri just now, but Yudri was standing in a reasonable collision zone, and he hit it in vain.
Zhang Kong and the others gathered around Yudri, and Posey and the others were nearby, pretending to be very concerned.
Kenny Knight could only sigh helplessly after getting the team doctor's reply that Udri could no longer play, and then replaced Udri with Bobby Jackson...... Ay......
This year's King is destined to be a tragedy, since the beginning of this season, the team's big players have been injured, Martin has been injured, Miller has just returned not long ago, this time Yudri is injured again, and there are almost no stable starters.
It may be that the goddess of injury and illness has recently taken a fancy to the Kings, and she is a little dissatisfied, and the strong men of the King's team are called to serve her.
"The game continues!" At this time, the referee walked over, glanced at the people of the Kings and said decisively.
Since it is a game of physical contact, natural injuries have become an inevitable event on the basketball court, people are injured and need to be treated, but others still need to continue the game, with the referee's whistle, the game continues.
Posey's free throws made it 29-23, and with Garcia's layup in the final moments, the Hornets led the Kings by five points at 29-25 in the first quarter, which was not very reassuring.
But the Kings lost their generals, which also made the Hornets more comfortable to break through, and Bobby Jackson was too old.
In the first two minutes of the break, the Kings were a little dull, and Kenny Knight was just talking about the following tactics all the time, and although they had just won against the Rockets, he was scolded by the boss.
In the game against the Rockets, Zhang Kong blocked eleven times, which made the owner owe another $550,000.
This is something he absolutely cannot allow, and the unlucky one is Kenny Knight.
The two-minute break passed very quickly, and soon both teams were back on the field to continue the game.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Posey scored at the beginning, but then the new veteran Bobby Jackson hit a three-pointer from the outside, and Bobby Jackson's biggest advantage is that he has a lot of experience and shoots exceptionally accurately.
He is no longer as energetic as a young man, and if he wants to stay on the field, he needs to have the skill of taking a shot with one hand.
After Daniels hit a fast break, Dent Green, who came off the bench, also hit a three-pointer from the outside, and Bobby Jackson broke through to make the Kings chase 32-33 at 9:11, only one point short, but then, last year's champion team, James Posey, a veteran substitute, took over the game, he first shot a shot himself, and then caused a foul on young Dante Green, one of two free throws, the Hornets led the Kings by 5 points at 7:22, but then Thomplin made a successful layup, David West immediately returned the color, Dante Green hit a jumper to tie the score at 36-38 with 5:33 left in the second quarter, Posey then hit a key outside three-pointer, and then Rassell Butler received Paul's pass and made a layup, and the Hornets regained the lead by eight points, and that's when the Kings guys started to get their hands on it!
With 3:47 left in the second quarter, Salmons received an assist from Thompson and hit a three-pointer from 25 feet out, and then the Hornets advanced quickly, Zhang Kong looked at Paul in front of him, the Hornets didn't feel particularly good today, Paul was also starting to try slowly, to break through the Zhang Kong in front of him, he also needed to score.
It's a pity that the current Zhang Kong is just one word, carry! He held on to Paul and never let him make a move, and it was uncomfortable to shoot.
Paul faced Zhang Kong, who was defending with all his might, and he really didn't have many options, and the toughest guy in the NBA was such a guy.
Superstars like Paul are not afraid to fight against each other, what they are afraid of is like Zhang Kong, stalking, completely undisciplined, as the saying goes, punching the master to death, although Zhang Kong did not dribble and slapped Paul to death, but it was slowly consuming Paul's patience, before there was no way to crack Zhang Kong's nonsense, Paul had to deal with it carefully, generally in the NBA, no one was defending with all their strength throughout the game.
Even the legendary Uncle Bao or Battier, Bale, they would not defend one person with all their might like this.
Because they also need to be integrated into the attack, but Zhang Kong is an exception, he is a complete 'free man'. Paul tried to break through a few times, but to no avail, but was forced by Zhang Kong to be a little scrambling, at this time the Hornets' No. 2 man, David West, ran over and received Paul's ball directly, and then Paul ran like an inside, trying to lead Zhang Kong, but Zhang Kong did not move, because he had seen David West's next move.
"Who's special!" Even Paul stopped halfway through the run, because he had just turned around and had already seen David West's movements, and he was not ready to cooperate with Paul, but was ready to come by himself! Glancing at the basket in front of him, he didn't take Zhang Kong in his eyes, after all, Zhang Kong was much shorter than him, so he jumped up straight and pushed the basketball out.
There are not many opportunities to block like this, Zhang Kong jumped hard, jumped up directly, and came first in the air, and came to the trajectory of basketball first, David West's basketball just shot, such a height is just right.
Zhang Kong shot the basketball directly in a volleyball smashing posture, and after the basketball was slammed, it bounced heavily on the ground, James Posey in the distance just ran over, and before he could see it clearly, the basketball rebounded directly and smashed heavily on his face, James Posey was stunned for a moment before everything fell backwards, and Rassell Butler next to him picked up the basketball after popping it on Posey's face, and shot directly outside the three-point line, but unfortunately, the one that was smashed just now, The sweat and snot on Posey's face were stained on the basketball, and the basketball was slippery, and when his hands slipped, the shot was outrageous.
And the ball was directly copied by Garcia who was on the court, and now the Kings are playing a small lineup.
After Garcia got the basketball, he started to break fast, and he missed his jump shot, but he was grabbed by Thompson and handed the back pass to Salmons, who fired again directly on the outside, and now he really feels so good that he is bursting out.
Another three-pointer, almost in the same position, the Hornets haven't fully defended it yet, and it's already scored.
41-43, the Kings are now only two points behind the Hornets, and then Paul and Chandler teamed up again, and after blocking and dismantling, they handed the ball to Chandler.
But the second time...... Zhang Kong still didn't completely prevent it, but he was able to respond to Chandler, jumped up from the side, and kept one hand on Chandler's eyes, sure enough, Chandler was extremely scummy on offense, such a dunk, for invisible reasons, actually dunked, and then Paul fouled Thompson, and the Kings asked for a timeout, and now they are only two points short.
If the Kings don't fight, even they won't be able to forgive themselves! Miller replaced Thompson as center.
But just after the game, the ball was broken by Paul, Paul dribbled the ball, and faced Zhang Kong again, today he has been planted in Zhang Kong's hands more than once, this Zhang Kong, really made him very helpless, just such a wild player.
can perfectly prevent himself from dying, such a thing, he Chris Paul can't accept it at all! This time, directly under Zhang Kong's defense, he shot a three-pointer, and the three-pointer smashed heavily on the neck of the basket, which was easily taken into the arms of Miller, and then Garcia received an assist from Salmons and hit another three-pointer, at this time, the Kings had already overtaken the score.
