Chapter 345: Key Battles

At 108-106, the Pacers lost to the Bulls by two points in the final two, giving the Bulls a key victory at home.

turned the total score to 1-2, don't look at the score difference in this game, and the scores on both sides are very high, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the difference between having a gap and not having a gap is really very big, Granger is a good player, Al Jefferson is also a good player, but the two of them don't have a string of opens, and there is no way to play their full strength.

Granger had a total of 39 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists today, but he and Zhang Kong's feelings are completely different.

Al Jefferson also contributed 19 points and 11 rebounds, but still lost the game.

In the first two games, Derrick Rose, who had been letting Zhang Kong limit his shooting percentage to less than 40%, finally raised his eyebrows in this game! It was really a sea with a leap, the sky was high and the birds were flying, and Watson's defense could not pose any threat to him at all.

Hit a total of 13 of his 26 shots in the game, scoring a total of 31 points in the game, and without Zhang Kong responding to the side, Hinrich also played extremely well today, shooting 9 of 12 from the field, and after scoring 27 points, with these two super backcourts.

Although Watson also scored 11 points in the whole game, it was meaningless, because he couldn't limit Rose at all on the defensive end, and he was successfully burst into a sieve by Rose, and there was no chance at all.

Luol Deng still plays steadily, although he can't limit Granger, although his offense is just as sharp, scoring 20 points on 9-of-16 shooting, what is a little surprising is that Noah, who was particularly loud in the last game, returned to the home court, and everyone originally hoped that he could storm the Pacers' interior again, but it made the Pacers' interior back.

Since Noah was arrogant, Hibbert has held back his strength in this game and can't get along with him.

Although Noah still had 15 rebounds, only one of them was offensive rebounds, and the rest was stuck for Hibbert.

Hibbert's own rebounds are not high, but his block is there, as long as he goes there, he gets stuck with Noah, and there are people on the Pacers' side who rush to grab rebounds, even if it restricts Noah in this way, but they have no way to limit Hinrich and Rose, and in this way, the Pacers have to face their first loss in the playoffs this season.

Seeing the team's loss, everyone could only shake their heads and sigh helplessly, and the fans at the scene were crazy, after all, this is Chicago's home court, and the Bulls can beat the Pacers by two points at home, which is the most wonderful thing in their opinion.

But most of the fans are still sober, because in this game, everyone knows that the strength of the Pacers is only 75% at most, and the remaining 25% will break out after Zhang Kong returns.

Now Bulls fans are wondering, why didn't the league let Zhang Kong be banned for the season? In this way, their team has the hope of impacting the Pacers and rushing to the second round of the playoffs, of course, now they are just thinking about it, things are not so easy, in the next game, Zhang Kong will definitely appear on the court! Since he can't be angry with the Alliance, then this anger, he is ready to sprinkle it directly on the Bulls, and the sad Bulls have become a punching bag in place of the Alliance.

After the end of the three games, the schedule of the entire playoffs has also changed a little, on the Eastern side, the Cavaliers 2-1 Bucks, and the Bucks have just won a game like the Bulls, but unfortunately, the Pacers are not on the side, and the Cavaliers are on James, who is still beaten very badly, and the Bucks successfully turned the tables in the last quarter and pressed the Cavaliers down.

The Hawks also played a 2-1 against the Celtics, the Hawks won two of their home games, but were directly beaten by the Celtics on the road, and for fans, this game is also the most suspenseful of the four games in the playoffs in the East.

Pacers 2-1 Bulls, Magic 2-1 Heat, less than half an hour after the end of the Pacers' game, the game in Miami was also over, the Heat won the Magic with Wade's 41 points, but everyone understands.

It is impossible for Wade to score more than 40 points every game, and sooner or later when he has no energy, then the Magic will only be left to slaughter the Heat!

The war in the east is not very clear, and the war in the west is also stalemate, the Lakers 2-1 Thunder, as long as the Lakers don't make two mistakes in this series of games, it shouldn't be a big problem to win the Youth Army Thunder! After all, Durant is still too young.

Mavericks 1-2 Spurs...... It was also the only game in all the games right now in which the team with a high win percentage fell behind the team with a low win percentage, and the Mavericks won the first game in a row, allowing the Spurs to win two games in a row.

The calf, who was originally very arrogant, became a grandson in an instant, although the slogan was still the same, but the effect was very poor.

Suns 2-1 Trail Blazers, no team has played very comfortably this year, directly swept the opponent 4-0, the third game of the game, let the team with a relatively low winning rate win at home, the same is true for the Trail Blazers, although the role of Roy on the Trail Blazers' side is getting smaller and smaller, because this guy's injury is getting worse and worse, but the Trail Blazers still have Miller and Camby, the two old demons.

Two big players, one inside and one outside, helped the Trail Blazers claim a crucial victory on their home turf to make it 2-1.

And the final Jazz vs. Nuggets may be the second game without suspense except for the Lakers vs. Thunder.

Although no players were injured on the Nuggets' side, their author was hospitalized, and the departure of George Karl made the entire Nuggets team feel like they were missing the backbone, although the current score is also 2-1, but the Nuggets are showing some lack of stamina.

The game between the Pacers and the Bulls, because of Zhang Kong's ban, directly dropped a large part of the domestic ratings.

This also makes the league quite distressed, but Zhang Kong will play in the fourth game, which is also good news.

At the same time, Zhang Kong's Kong1 generation has also put 10,000 pairs of basketball shoes in the sneaker market in the United States, and these sneakers have been invested in relatively large cities, such as New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and other larger cities.

Chicago definitely didn't shoot, because now the Pacers' opponent is the Bulls, and Indianapolis City, although it is not big, must vote, because Zhang Kong is playing here now! What Tom Jess and Zhang Kong didn't expect was.

10,000 pairs of sneakers on the shelves in the morning have been sold out before four o'clock in the afternoon, and some fans who know the consumption rushed to the basketball equipment store, where there was only a pair of molded shoes, Zhang Kong's new shoes at an ultra-low price of $35, instantly blew a kong1 whirlwind in the United States, plus now Zhang Kong's influence is great, and the sneakers are selling quite well.

One afternoon, Tom Jace didn't do anything, just sat on the phone to take orders, complaining about his heavy workload, and grinning at the signing of orders, making those factory workers think that their bosses were brainless!

With this atmosphere, the Pacers ushered in their fourth game with the Bulls in Chicago, a crucial match.

In this game, Zhang Kong once again put on his No. 88 jersey, where he will face the challenge of the Bulls!

If the Pacers win, then they have straight match point, and the next battle back to their home court, they can finish the Bulls! If they don't win, let the Bulls steal a win, and the two sides will be tied 2-2.

At that time, the battle of Tianwang Mountain will be carried out, Zhang Kong doesn't like to make things so nervous, although the more games he plays, the more useful his data will be, but Zhang Kong still doesn't want to hold the playoffs for too long, and he can solve the opponent cleanly, even if he plays a few fewer games, it is acceptable for Zhang Kong! So in the next game, Zhang Kong is ready to kill the opponent directly.

Probably sensing the momentum of Zhang Kong's victory, the momentum of the entire Pacers is extremely sharp, they are all preparing for the fourth game against the Bulls on April 25, the current score is 2-1, they want to make the score 3-1 after this game, and then go directly to Indianapolis to solve the opponent and smoothly advance to the second round of the playoffs.

The second Mavericks in the West, who are also second, are not an example worth learning from, they have now been completely suppressed by the Spurs, and if they don't do it well, maybe this bull-horse war will end with the Spurs' victory!

At four o'clock in the afternoon on April 25th, in the United Center Arena, although today is Monday, it is the day of work, but before the game starts, the 21,711 seats in the entire United Center Arena are still filled with a large number of fans, crowded.

The media also set up long guns and short guns, aiming at the arena, and there will be a game here for a while, and they are ready to use their weapons to shoot the activities on the field, Chicago, Indianapolis, and even New York, Los Angeles, Washington and other places Many sports media have sent their elite teams to Chicago to follow this focus battle.

In the fourth game of the Bulls vs. the Pacers, everyone showed great attention, and many people were cheering for the Bulls.

Because the current Bulls are obviously not as competitive as the Pacers, if you wait for the Pacers to put the team's ball in motion, then there is really no one in this league who is the opponent of the Pacers, and Zhang Kong's addition makes the entire Pacers extremely strong.

Offense, defense, and fluency on these two points have reached an extreme, and the biggest reason why the Pacers lost the last game was because of the lack of space, although Jim O'Brien has always said that the current Pacers are a group.

But everyone knows that the brightest star in this group is Zhang Kong! As the music plays, the race officially begins!
