At halftime, the Pacers led the Bulls by 10 points, 60-50, which wasn't much...... However, at the beginning of the third quarter, the Pacers pulled the score away, and the way they opened the score was not to use their strongest three-point shot, but to use their strongest defense, Zhang Kong, Dundee Jones, Tyler Hansbrough, Darko Milicic and Roy Hibbert, such a lineup, the Pacers' players fully let the Bulls know what is called suffocating defense! The five of them were like five fingers, and they connected a palm, holding the bull in the palm of their hand, so that the guy slowly died of anger...... At the end of the third quarter of the game, the Pacers had led the Bulls by 16 points at 84-68, and only half of the last quarter entered garbage time, Zhang Kong, Ge Banjie and other main players all went off the court to rest, and the players on the Bulls' side were still working hard, but unfortunately, there was no result in the end...... 110-99, in the end, the Bulls' score still did not break 100, but Zhang Kong and they easily won a victory on the Bulls.

Rose scored a game-high 27 points when the Bulls protected him, but the best of the game was still Zhang Kong, who had 15 points, 12 assists, 6 blocks and 2 rebounds, and the stats speak for themselves.

And the new signings are also playing better and better, although recently because of the game, they don't have much time to practice together, but what is carried out on the field is the most real, after three games of competition, the new signings have slowly integrated into this group, to put it bluntly, the offensive routines and defensive routines on the Pacers' side are not particularly difficult to understand, it can be said to be very simple.

As long as you follow a philosophy, that is, run, as long as you run, drive the rhythm, run out of the gap, that space will pass the ball to your hands, and at the same time you have to know that your offensive range is there, and you can't run out of the offensive range.

In the team on the Pacers' side, there is obviously no food to eat on such a primitive pile-shaped inside line, so there are many Chinese fans who let Yao Ming join the Pacers, which is almost impossible, the Pacers rely on offense, more from the outside, and after having Yao Ming, if you don't use this big killer on the inside, wouldn't it be easy to be sent by God?

As for Al Jefferson, it is much easier to do, what he needs to do is very simple, that is, defend the number four position, and at the same time ask for the ball at the bottom position, no matter what team, there is always a time when the ball has to stop, as long as the ball stops, that is the time for Al Jefferson to perform, the others are more defensive, there are not too many requirements on the offensive side, there is nothing to say...... When the time came to 10:30 p.m., the game was officially over, and if it was originally the Pacers' idea, it should be to stay in Chicago tonight, and then return to Indianapolis early tomorrow morning to prepare for the day, and then play the Grizzlies in the evening.

Then all of their games for December were over, and it looked perfect, but the plan didn't change quickly.

As soon as the game was over, the assistant coach of the Pacers' side received a message from Larry Bird.

He asked the Pacers to return to Annapolis in Poland immediately, then go home to sleep, and when they wake up, tomorrow afternoon, they will shoot a group of team posters, which are usually shot before the start of the season, and the Pacers have also taken them, but they know that there are indeed some problems with the promotional posters they shot at the beginning.

For example, there was no Zhang Kong at the beginning, and there were no new signings, and they thought that their goal was the playoffs, so they didn't pay much attention to it when they filmed, but now that their team's results are so good, they naturally want to remake it again.

After shooting the poster, they also need to go to the NBA care action and go to a lonely old people's home to have a look.

If you take the car back tomorrow, you will look tired, the effect of taking pictures will not be good, and the NBA care action will not be good, so Larry Bird specifically asked all the Pacers to return to Indianapolis that day, if you drive faster on the highway, you can rush back in about an hour and a half, and today's interview is particularly brief.

The media also knew that there would be an NBA care action on the Pacers' side tomorrow, so they didn't say much, and the post-season press conference was more reserved for the home team, and the Pacers were able to get out at this time.

"Joanna, why are you here?" It was none other than Zhang Kong's assistant, Joanna Chris.

"What else can it be, because of you, the MV that you and Taylor Swiveford filmed was released during Christmas, and it was a big hit, and it instantly rose to the top of almost all music charts, and the number of downloads is also the first in the United States, after knowing the news, I naturally wanted Taylor to ask for a backup tape, who knew that she sent me the wrong place, and it was actually sent to Chicago, so I drove over to get the tape, and by the way, I watched a game of yours!" After Joanna finished speaking, she waved the strap in her hand and the ticket stub of the Bulls' home court just now, and when she heard Joanna's words, the guys next to her all ran over alone, looking at Zhang Kong with a magical face, they knew that Joanna was Zhang Kong's assistant, but they didn't know the relationship between Zhang Kong and Taylor Swiveford, the music MV, the release time was the night of the 23rd, and at that time, all the people in the Pacers were upset because of the transaction, and no one would pay attention to the music at that time.

"Look at what, I'll show you when I go back! I don't care about you! Zhang Kong looked at these guys with a curious look of the baby, and couldn't help but think of the fact that he was robbed and kissed a lot on the set, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and kicked the nearest Hibbert's ass, but the seven-foot-tall Hibbert slapped his ass and ran away with a smile on his face, because Joanna came by car, so Zhang Kong didn't have to squeeze a car with these guys to go back.

"Remember, come to the arena tomorrow at one o'clock in the afternoon...... Uh, he doesn't seem to have to shoot posters, he's completely free! Before driving, Jim O'Brien specially reminded Zhang Kong, but after reminding him, he remembered that Zhang Kong didn't seem to have to go...... But anyway, these guys from the Pacers are speeding towards Indianapolis City in a bus, and Zhang Kong is in the co-pilot of Joanna's big Q7, because it is a small car, and the horsepower is stronger than that team's bus.

So they deliberately went to the KCF next door to buy some supper, and then drove to Indiana's own home while eating supper...... Just as the two were about to leave the highway and return to Indianapolis, several men in police clothes suddenly appeared in front of them, and then several barricades were placed in the middle of the road, waving small sticks to signal Zhang Kong and Joanna's car to stop.

"Did something happen?" Joanna asked with some surprise as she put her head out and looked at the situation in front of her.

Seeing that Joanna was such a big beauty, the policeman next to her was also a little embarrassed, and walked over with a smile.

"Miss, I'm really sorry, it looks like there's no way to get through!" Then the policeman explained to Joanna about the road conditions in front of him, because there was a snow during the day today, and the snow plow truck did not pay attention when it was clear, leaving a section of ice road on the road in front, it was this ice road that caused an accident, and there have been three crashes in a row in front, and the entire road has now been closed, because this highway is not a particularly important main road, so now it is just a road closure to deal with the wounded, The political axe is going to send personnel over early tomorrow morning to remove the ice on this part of the road.

Because it's already past eleven o'clock, and there is no one on the highway, if Zhang Kong and they don't go to eat KFC, they will rush back and forth, but unfortunately, this time it is just in time, Zhang Kong and they can only stay here in Chicago...... And even if I rushed back to Chicago at this time, I couldn't find any place to stay, and the two guys, who didn't know each other well, looked at each other...... They both saw the confusion in each other's eyes, and neither of them knew what to do now.

"Uh, by the way, excuse me, is there a motel around here? I didn't see it when I just came! Joanna's mind was spinning fast, and she quickly thought of the motel, and the policeman was obviously a police officer in this area, and he clearly told Joanna that there was a motel on the road ahead, but the motel was very small, so I didn't know if there was a place after going here, because they had stopped several cars before Zhang Kong and Joanna, and many of these cars were Indian-Lipolis fans, and they came to Chicago to support the home team, so they left at about the same time as Zhang Kong.

"Going to a motel?" Zhang Kong looked at Joanna and asked helplessly, he actually didn't like to live outside.

"Do you have anywhere else to go?" Joanna blinked her eyes and said to Zhang Kong, it seems that she has no choice tonight.
