Chapter 42: Immovable as a Mountain

"Welcome everyone turn on the TV on time, I'm David, we're in San Antonio, the live TV signal is provided to you by ABC, and it's a game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings." The announcer named David sat in the commentary booth on the sidelines and said loudly to the camera in front of him.

"Let's introduce the starters of both teams, today's Kings starters are particularly interesting, everyone will know by watching! For the Spurs, familiar players such as center Matt Bonner, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Mike Finley, scoring guard Roger Mason, point guard Tony Parker, demon knife Ginobili, rookie George Hill and defensive titan Bruce Bowen are all sitting on the bench! It seems that Po Povich is ready to vigorously develop George Hill as a rookie recently, and the rookie's recent playing time has been close to Parker, and Tony Parker's position he has to work hard to keep! "Because there was a game between the Rockets and the Nets today, the game between the Spurs and the Kings did not cause the broadcast on the court station.

But there are still many fans who like Zhang Kong, watching this game through the Internet, the Kings have been upset twice in a row, and this time facing the Spurs, I don't know if they will report a new upset.

And Zhang Kong is bound to defend to the end today, ten times the difference, that is to say, if Zhang Kong lets Duncan score one goal, he will lose a full two million, let him score ten, then Zhang Kong will lose ten million dollars! This is something he absolutely cannot allow.

The starter on the Wu Wang team's side, the point guard turned out to be Yudri who was just injured, and Zhang Kong thought that he would let Bobby Jackson play for a while and then replace Yudri on the court, but it seems that Kenny Knight can't bear it.

The shooting guard is Francesco Garcia, the small forward is John Salmons, the power forward is Zhang Kong, and the center is Brad Miller.

Zhang Kong, who was the second shortest on the field, was actually put in the No. 4 position, which was really embarrassing.

When he first played the rocket, Zhang Kong went to defend Scola, because Scola himself is not very tall, only 2.00 meters tall, so it doesn't seem that the gap is big, but now Zhang Kong is defending Shifo Duncan, Duncan can be two meters 11 meters tall.

At this moment, it can be seen that the gap is coming, Zhang Kong is at least a head shorter than the other party, and the two are not on the same level at all.

Just under the coach's strange look, the game officially began, Miller's jump ball was still very sure, and easily slapped the basketball to his side, after Yudri received the basketball, he tried his hand, it didn't feel very good, or passed to Salmons, Salmons, the player, like a microwave oven, can instantly warm up the scene, just like now, the game has just begun, he played three points outside the three-point line, and kicked off the game with a three-point shot.

Then Roger Mason also made a mid-range shot, the scores of the two sides rose alternately, and after half a quarter, the two teams were tied 17-17, I have to say that the current Kings team, at least in the first quarter, can compete with the Spurs, and Zhang Kong's defense also played a particularly important role! With 5 minutes and 42 seconds left in the first quarter, the Spurs called a timeout, and Manu Ginobili came on the court to replace Roger Mason, and the Spurs' three carriages began to officially debut, and after sending out the throw-in, Parker did not come by himself or to Ginobili, who had just come on the court, but hoisted the ball to the inside.

After Duncan received the ball, he deliberately picked it up, because generally such a small defense is big, and small players especially like to dig the ball.

But Zhang Kong is an exception! Because his steals are also an extremely scummy statistic.

Duncan leaned on Zhang Kong's body, holding the basketball high, he is not very interested in this rookie who has recently become famous in the league, looking at Zhang Kong behind him, Duncan turned around directly, and wanted to cut inside.

But where is Zhang Kong's defense so easy to break through, Zhang Kong appeared for the first time on the most comfortable route where Duncan wanted to cut the ball, watching Zhang Kong actually move sideways to his predetermined position, Duncan also felt very uncomfortable.

It's like a snake being choked seven inches, Duncan has no way at all, looking at Zhang Kong, who has already stood up, if he continues to rush, even if it is in his home field, it may be an offensive foul, at this moment, Duncan Shifo's calm nature is undoubtedly revealed, he actually stood down with the ball in both hands at this time, and then threw it to the left.

The basketball found Ginobili who had just broken through Garcia's defense very accurately, Ginobili easily made a layup after receiving the ball, the demon knife is the demon knife, his waist was twisted like that, but he could easily put the ball in.

Subsequently, the entire Kings line collapsed, Miller was stealed by Bonner, and then when Bonner made a backhand layup, he caused Miller's foul and made two free throws, while Udri was scrambling to shoot a two-pointer, but still didn't score, and Duncan grabbed the rebound.

Duncan wanted to play single, while being held by Zhang Kong, the basketball was cut off by Miller, Garcia received an assist from Udri and shot, and then Garcia made a pass error and was stealed, Tony Parker made a steal and successfully hit a layup to pull the score away again, at this time there were four minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, Pol Povich, in order to stabilize the lineup, replaced Roger Mason with Bowen who had just come on the court, replaced Tim Duncan with Kurt Thomas, and here Bobby Jackson replaced Francisco Garcia, After the substitution, Zhang Kong finally didn't have to face Duncan's strong pressure, and Duncan's attack was not strong today.

This also gave Zhang Kong a chance, at least in the first quarter, he successfully sealed Duncan 0, if Duncan blindly played by himself, with his height and stable turn at a 45-degree angle to hit the board, Zhang Kong wanted 0 seals, it was almost impossible.

After switching to the bench, the Spurs' defense had some small holes, and the Kings seized on those holes and began to fight back.

First, Kurt Thomas fouled maliciously and was made a free throw by the Kings, and after Salmons hit a free throw, the score came to 25-20, and then the ball was passed, and Thompson, who came off the bench, received an assist from Salmons and made a layup, 22-25.

The two sides were separated by just three points, and that score lasted until 1:43 of the first quarter when Ginobili, the super sixth man, began to make a splash, hitting a step-back jumper from eight feet out and then assisting Tolivier for a three-pointer.

Then he assisted George Hill for a layup, which didn't go up, but it caused a foul on Bobby Jackson and made two free throws.

With the last four seconds, Ginobili caused Thompson's foul when he shot, and the Spurs made one of two free throws, and the Spurs played a wave of 8-0 small ** out, turning the score into 33-22 in one fell swoop, leading the Kings by as many as 11 points.

"To find the other person's weaknesses, understand? Weakness! "During the break, Kenny Knight kept highlighting the weaknesses of the other side.

The opponent's interior defense, with Bonner to help Duncan, plus Kurt Thomas, this guy is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The defense of the outside line is shared by Finley, Bowen and others, Parker's speed and Ginobili's weird footsteps are definitely not something that ordinary people can defend, Zhang Kong sits on the inside line to defend Duncan, but Duncan himself does not make a move, and there is no way to leave that empty line.

After all, the Spurs are not the Hornets, and the Hornets can quickly snuff out the opponent's offense by only stifling Paul.

In the face of the Spurs, although their main offensive line is also an interior line, it is mainly based on breakthroughs, and the Kings can't even defend Parker and Ginobili, so they don't need to send Duncan to play this game.

What kind of coach is Po Povich? He definitely doesn't think about the psychology of the players, and for him, whether it's Duncan or Ginobili, as long as he can win the game, he sacrifices some personal data in a game, it's not a big deal.
