Chapter 297: No matter how hard you fight, you can't win
Caron Butler plays hard, but the gap in strength is there, not that he can win the game if he works hard.
If he feels good, Zhang Kong may still be a little scared of him, but it is obvious that he has not fully integrated with the Mavericks.
Although at the beginning, the Mavericks had some advantage, but after the players on the Pacers' side felt it.
It is a little unlikely that the Mavericks want to play with the Pacers again, no matter what position it is, the current Pacers are not bad, and in terms of point guard, although Zhang Kong does not dare to say that he has completely surpassed Kidd, it can also be said that it is half a catty!
In terms of scoring guard, the Pacers are still sitting on Dunleavy, plus Dundee Jones, the opponent's Butler feels very bad today, so the Pacers are not scared of each other at all! In terms of small forwards, although it is not too easy for Granger to get rid of Marion's entanglement, he is also a super All-Star in the 89 class after all, and he can still do it if he wants to get rid of the entanglement of the other party.
On the power forward, Nowitzki and Al Jefferson are all violent on the offensive end, but Nowitzki is the main point of attack for the Mavericks, and Al Jefferson is only the third scoring point of the Pacers, he can focus more on defense, which the Mavericks do not have an advantage in, and on the inside, Haywood is a defensive gate, and offense has nothing to do with him.
And the Pacers here Murphy and Hibbert are both good offensive players, and in this regard, the Pacers also have the advantage.
As for the bench, in addition to Terry of the Mavericks, the Pacers are not at a disadvantage at all.
After the trade, the Pacers have begun to see a strong prototype, and now there is really no team in the league that dares to say that they are not afraid of the Pacers! Even if the Pacers don't have a good hand, they can play a very good game!
With a bad hand and a good offensive on the inside, Zhang Kong's stable surname makes the Pacers free from worries.
Just like playing the Mavericks now, the Pacers' outside feel is not particularly good, but Zhang Kong can still hit at critical moments, whether it is a breakthrough or three points, Zhang Kong can score so easily! Looking at Zhang Kong's progress here, all the people couldn't help but pout, now Zhang Kong's comprehensive surname is becoming more and more prominent, and if you want to kill Zhang Kong, the difficulty can be imagined.
Kidd is old after all, he played three quarters, and he also fought three quarters with Zhang Kong, but Zhang Kong's physical strength is 99, how much is Kidd?
Zhang Kong fought hard with Kidd, Kidd's defense is good, but his age is there.
Finally, Kidd couldn't play in the fourth quarter, and Carlisle on the Mavericks' side could only replace Barria on the court.
The only thing that Barria can compare with the old guy Kidd is his impact power, but in Zhang Kong's eyes, such an impact has little meaning to exist, and after Zhang Kong killed Barria, this guy disappeared from the field.
And Barria is not Zhang Kong's opponent at all, no matter Zhang Kong's shooting or breakthrough, he can't prevent it.
Zhang Kong is the kind of guy who especially likes to bully others with his physical fitness, and Baria can only reluctantly accept this fact. Watching Zhang Kong run rampant on the court, with 5 minutes and 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Zhang Kong had already scored 25 points.
Recently, Jim O'Brien has been quite happy to let Zhang Kong be the main attacker, and Zhang Kong is really doing a good job.
Watching Zhang Kong dribble through the half court again, a simple change of direction, after attracting Barria's center of gravity, directly hit Barria with his strength, straight to the inside, such a move was hit, if it wasn't for the home field, maybe the referee would have to give a defensive foul, but although the referee did not give a defensive foul, Zhang Kong has also rushed into the inside.
Although Butler wanted to come over without fear of death and drop Zhang Kong, but he let Dundee-Jones be entangled there, Butler couldn't move, so he could only rely on the inside line, and Heywood on the inside line watched Zhang Kong rush over, and he didn't dare to be careless, and immediately lowered his center of gravity.
His eyes were staring at Zhang Kong's movements, paying attention to Zhang Kong's movements and direction at any time.
Now Haywood, like Butler, is working hard for the Mavericks, after all, they have just arrived at this team, what they need is to adapt here as soon as possible, and they also know that they are not here to be the core, and they can't play like they did with the Wizards.
The Mavericks' eternal core, forever boss, is Nowitzki, and it's unlikely to change in the last few years, at least.
For their playing time and shots, they must perform well on the court during the recent 'probationary period', and Butler's desperate spirit is what the Mavericks lack, so Butler's presence has been noticed by Carlisle.
And Haywood is more of a role in protecting interior rebounds on the court, Haywood's rebounding is quite good, he has grabbed 16 backcourt rebounds so far, and there is also a frontcourt rebound, although the score is pitiful, but the rebounds are quite good, after all, except for Kidd, almost no one on the Mavericks' side will grab backcourt rebounds with Haywood, Nowitzki grabs rebounds poorly, which is also well-known in the league, like his offense, very powerful! Shiro grows so tall. So now the rebounds on the Mavericks' side are all handed over to Haywood to grab, and this guy is naturally very happy to grab it!
But grabbing the rebound, grabbing the rebound, and now Zhang Kong rushed towards him, and Haywood didn't think about covering this guy.
It's not impossible to block Zhang Kong, but Heywood's level of existence, unless he sneaks in, if he wants to fan Zhang Kong's shot, it's simply an impossible task, and what he needs to do now is to make Zhang Kong unable to throw it.
And then brush up on another rebound yourself! With his height and awareness of the position, grabbing rebounds in front of a guard like Zhang Kong doesn't seem to be a big problem, this problem is not big, Zhang Kong looked at Hewood in front of him and smiled, dealing with this huge inside, although Zhang Kong's strength can play a role, but his height and weight are there, his strength does not play a big role as dexterity, Zhang Kong now wants to deal with Heywood with more flexible moves!
Looking at Heywood in front of him, Zhang Kong's shoulders began to shake, in Heywood's eyes, Zhang Kong's shaking became more and more intense, this is the prelude to the dream snake layup, in the eyes of Zhang Kong, a predictable person, Ginobili will become a number of phantoms to impact himself together, and in the eyes of other ordinary people, Zhang Kong and Ginobili are just shaking very strongly, so that people can't judge the other party's forward path at all, but Zhang Kong's nirvana is stealing from Ginobili after all.
So it's not as high as Ginobili's level, and the frequency of vibration and the change of footsteps can't be compared with Ginobili at all, but it's such a level, and it's no problem to pass a big center like Heywood!
Zhang Kong was like the wind, blowing directly past Haywood's side, Haywood simply judged the wrong direction, and just watched Zhang Kong float in, and this time before Zhang Kong made a layup, he deliberately felt the position of the other players of the Mavericks.
Seeing that no one was around him, he was satisfied with the ball and easily picked the ball into the basket, and now Zhang Kong's layup is not enough for him to show the pull like others, or a high-skill layup such as a small windmill back layup.
He can also do simple dunk and layup movements, and if you want to be familiar with these actions, you also need to add your surname! The only downside to data streaming is that no matter how hard you work, it's hard to raise your caste to a high point.
50 is just a card in the digital world, and it is not so easy to break through this card.
Seeing Zhang Kong easily pick the ball in, Carlisle could only sigh helplessly, this Zhang Kong's existence is really a little depressing! No matter who he is against, the opponent is a breakthrough point, and when Kidd is on the court at the beginning, he can also limit the opponent. Although you can't completely prevent the other party, you can still do it with simple restrictions.
Zhang Kong, who was restricted, although the pass was still very penetrating, but the offense was not as smooth as it is now, but Kidd's physical strength was limited, and after he was gone, Barria was completely an ATM in front of Zhang Kong.
You can swipe as much as you want, as long as you have money in your card, there is no upper limit at all! Brushing Baria is depressed, Carlisle is even more depressed! Cuban, who was sitting in the audience, was just as depressed, but there was something else in his eyes.
Does he know that Zhang Kong only signed a one-year contract with the Pacers, which means that he will be a free agent after this season, so does that mean that the Mavericks also have a chance? Not to mention the Mavericks, any team in the league has a chance.
The premise is that they pay Zhang Kong's money, and after the end of the season, Zhang Kong's value will be magnified again!
With Granger being targeted to death by Marion, the Pacers still won the game by relying on the air.
98-91, the Pacers won the Mavericks, but the process is not sleepy and easy, it can be seen that the current Pacers still have some problems on the offensive end, when Zhang Kong, Granger They meet tenacious defenders, their offensive ability will be greatly reduced, this game Granger shot 3 of 11, only four points, it can be seen that Marion put too much pressure on him.
And Murphy, who had high hopes, only scored 10 points and 11 rebounds in this game, but Al Jefferson, who was the third scorer, played well, scoring 14 points and 8 rebounds, and the rest was all up to Zhang Kong.
Zhang Kong scored 33 points again in this game, but only had a pitiful 7 assists and only a pitiful 5 blocks.
Zhang Kong's energy is limited now, and if he wants to attack, the quality of defense and the ability to string games will inevitably decline! But there is no way, if he doesn't attack, there will be no one on the Pacers' side who can pull it out as an offensive gunman......
