In the second battle with the Pacers, the most eye-catching are undoubtedly Zhang Kong, Noah and Rose, Rose challenged Zhang Kong again, but lost to Zhang Kong again, and has been spraying Zhang Kong, spraying the Pacers' Noah This game is really good.

He may have been born with the genes of a WOW warrior, and if he is not stimulated, he will not be able to play a good game.

Noah suddenly woke up in this game, he chipped 25 points and 13 rebounds for 20+10 stats, and put Hibbert in foul trouble, almost allowing the Bulls to steal a key game on the road.

"Joe never hides his thoughts!" "And when you do that, you have to do something to back up your words, you have to play a good game," said Bulls Yosa Nigro at Nongfu Spring. That's exactly what we're experiencing right now! Of course, this is just Negro's own thoughts.

In this game, even Zhang Kong must admit that Noah played really well, he has done a good job, he aimed at Hibbert from the first time he held the ball after the start, this once beat Noah in the first game with a complete body of the big inside man.

After an offensive attack by the Bulls, Noah broke through with the ball near the free throw line and caused a foul on Hibbert, which he and his teammates combined to make Hibbert receive four fouls early in the third quarter, otherwise they would not have been able to overtake the score in the third quarter! Taking advantage of the fact that the victory was not on the court, the Bulls' main center used fierce scrambling to ravage the Pacers' basket again and again.

Seven of the 13 rebounds he grabbed were frontcourt rebounds, and in Game 1, Noah had 0 rebounds.

However, it is a pity that in front of the strong Zhang Kong, Noah's performance can only be described as pale and powerless, Zhang Kong scored 36 points in the game, making all of Noah's efforts come to naught, but when talking about Zhang Kong after the game, Noah was still very unconvinced.

"Che, he (referring to Zhang Kuan) did score a lot of strange goals, yes, it's a headache, but we have to meet them again, so I don't want to stand up now and give all the good things to that Chinese!" Yes, he played an incredible game, it's a tough time, I hate to lose, I'm a little frustrated with the result now, but like I said, we're ready for Thursday's game! ”

In this game, the Bulls had a total of three people scoring 20, namely Noah's 25 points and 13 rebounds, Rose's 23 points and 8 assists and Rohr Deng's 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, while the Pacers' offense was relatively weak, and only Granger scored 20 points in the team, with a total of 21 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. All that's left is Hibbert's 12 points, and no one else scores a double-double! Dundee Jones had 9 points and Watson had 8 points.

But the Pacers still won the game, only Zhang Kong and Granger's hand is still there, so the Pacers have almost no difficulty in defeating the Bulls, so after the game, all the fans are waiting to see the Pacers directly sweep the Bulls 4-0 and enter the second round of the league, but as far as the current situation is concerned, things are not so easy.

Because on the second day after the game, when Zhang Kong and they were not ready to go to Chicago, the league sent a ticket.

Because of what Zhang Kong said to the referee after the game, it was handed over to the league headquarters by the referee, although when the league later checked the video, it was clearly seen that Zhang Kong talked to the referee after the game, but the league still issued a ticket and a ban to Zhang Kong in order to protect the referee.

Since the year when there were referees, scolding referees has become a fashion in the league, and referees have become a bag on the field.

Before the introduction of the zero-tolerance policy, the status of the referee can be described as extremely low, as long as you don't play the referee, how to scold him, he also endures, some good-tempered players are more polite to the referee, and some players with a bad temper are not so polite to the referee, although there is no hands-on, but scolding must be indispensable! And those coaches in the league have never been accustomed to these referees, they should scold, which also makes the face of the league and the referee guild have no glory at all, this is only in the United States, and in the football league in Europe, the referee is unhappy, and he has long been fists and feet, there is a buddy who is more funny, and he also shows cards to the referee, but then as the league wants to establish its own brand effect, David Stern began to control those players, and the toughest measure is to introduce a zero-tolerance policy, as long as the referee is willing, He can send you off at any time.

Of course, if the referee dares to send a player off the field for no reason, the referee's career can be over.

But the league's measures to protect the referee are much stricter than the protection of the players, after Zhang Kong said this and was exposed by the current referee, the whole league was shaken, and someone investigated it afterwards, and it was clear that Zhang Kong said it after the game.

But if the referee didn't change his words, the league needed to take care of the referee's position, so inexplicably, Zhang Kong was fined 5,000 US dollars, plus a one-game ban, but this was all the next day, and when the Pacers won their second home court 2-0 that day, no one thought about it, even Zhang Kong didn't think that he would cause trouble with a word.

Who's right and who's wrong, everyone understands, the fault is wrong, Zhang Kong shouldn't have said this to the referee after winning the game, if he said it in the post-game press conference, it may be fined $10,000, and he won't be banned.

But he whispered to the referee on the sidelines, so what the referee said was what it was, because there was no video.

He said that Zhang Kong threatened his personal safety, so he asked the alliance to punish Zhang Kong, it was as simple as that.

Even if the league knew that Zhang Kong was innocent, but in order to protect the image they had established, in order to protect the referee, they had to give Zhang Kong a one-game ban, and sometimes the reality is that such a compromise is needed, because if they don't punish Zhang Kong.

In the future, if others also 'threaten' the referee like Zhang Kong, then the image that they have managed to establish as indisputable for the referee's judgment will be seriously threatened, and some people are worried that there will be such threats to the referee like Zhang Kong in the future.

So the league issued a ticket with Zhang Kong's unhappy expression, and after the ticket was issued, Zhang Kong was really in a very mood, and almost went to the league's executives to complain, but was pulled back by other teammates.

The league also has its own difficulties, they need to control this big mess, so in some things, both the players and the referee need to compromise, this matter, the most wrong thing Zhang Kong did is not to whisper to the referee after the game.

Instead, he should have said directly in the post-game press conference that it is impossible to get a ban for bombarding the referee there and receiving a $10,000 fine at most, and that it is not easy to get six fouls on a point guard during a game.

But now who doesn't know, Zhang Kong never deals with the media, this is a strange circle, the referee caught that there was no witness at the time, and there was no video, and said that Zhang Kong was threatening him, this guy is such a shameless person.

In fact, he also has a ghost in his heart, otherwise the ball should have changed the judgment after watching the video, but he didn't change the judgment, mainly because he wanted the Bulls to win the game, but no one thought that in the end, the Bulls still lost the game.

After a two-day break, the Pacers arrived in Chicago on April 22, and Zhang Kong did not appear on the team's roster, not liking to sit there in a suit, but instead wearing casual clothes and sitting in the audience next to the team.

I didn't sit in the middle of the team bench, but I sat next to him as well, but I didn't have to wear a suit.

This game was not empty, Granger became the team's first main point of attack, as soon as the game opened, he scored the first goal for the Pacers by breaking through the layup, and the Bulls generals who fought at home were not to be outdone, under the leadership of Rose and Rohr Deng, they played a wave of 10-2 attacks in one breath **, Zhang Kong did not play, Watson was on the court, and it was obvious that Watson was not Rose's opponent.

He's been sifted out of the way by Rose! With the exception of Granger, the rest of the Pacers were sleepwalking.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bulls led the Pacers by as many as 11 points at 32-21, Granger scored 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting in the first quarter, and Rose scored 15 points on 5-of-8 shooting without opening his guard...... In the second quarter of the game, although the Pacers played very hard, they were still pulled away by the Bulls at the last moment, with 56-45, still falling 11 points into the second half, and the Bulls fought again, the Bulls' offense did not decrease, and they came up to make a wave of 12-2 small **, which brought the score to 68-47 to lead the Pacers by a full 21 points, but after that, the Pacers slowly regained their senses.

Without Zhang Kong's guidance, the offensive rhythm and offensive power of the entire Pacers are chaotic! However, at the critical moment, the Pacers' hand finally broke out, Granger fired outside, and Murphy and Watson, who had been silent, also began to erupt, and after Watson scored six points in a row, he led the Pacers to play a wave of 13-0 counterattack**, instantly chasing the score to 60-68.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers trailed the Bulls by 8 points 71-79 into the final quarter! In the final quarter, the Pacers fought back.

Granger's outstanding performance was a headache for the Bulls, but with Dunleavy's three-point miss in the final moments, the Pacers lost by two points!
