"Haha, I knew this guy would definitely be able to help me!" At this time, in a villa in Indianapolis, a middle-aged man, watching the game on TV, couldn't help but dance, if it weren't for the fact that there were other people in his family, maybe he really wanted to dance, and then come to his own dance to celebrate his wise decision.

This guy is none other than Larry Bird, who chose Zhang Kong to join the team in the first place.

And he also knew Zhang Kong's surname, and it was difficult to integrate into the team, so Jim O'Brien didn't let Zhang Kong play in the preseason, and he didn't say anything, but just told Jim O'Brien that he would let Zhang Kong try it out during the regular season, but this time, everyone found that Zhang Kong was so strong unconsciously.

One shot, one pass, one defense, whatever it is, it's all done perfectly, and it's hard to see that this skill was just practiced in the summer.

"Who's special!" Joe Johnson saw Zhang Kong's successful assist, and his heart couldn't help but be a little dark, now all the data that is favorable to Zhang Kong, he doesn't look happy, the next offense, just after halftime, Joe Johnson beckoned to Jamal Crawford next to him to ask for the ball, Joe Johnson is the boss of the Hawks now, when he wants the ball, no matter whose hand the ball is.

Everything must be passed to him, although when he is off the field, he is very similar to Zhang Kong, they are both people who don't like to talk and don't like to be lively.

But on the court, he is in a completely different position from Zhang Kong, as long as he is on the court, he is definitely the core of the Eagles.

After Joe Johnson got the ball, he faced Zhang Kong directly, and now Zhang Kong didn't have the original contract for Joe Johnson, so he didn't follow it very closely, and also took a three-threat position, watching Joe Johnson in front of him slowly bend down.

Looking at Zhang Kong's position, Joe Johnson's eyes flashed a hint of sharpness, and suddenly a cross dribble, after the ball was handed over to the right hand under the big crotch, he immediately dribbled behind his back, and then handed the ball back, and the body was at this moment, making a feint to break to the left, and then instantly adjusted the center of gravity back and broke through to the rightSkill can't work, and you can't do it, only someone like Joe Johnson who has both skill and body can.

"Cut ......" Zhang Kong looked at Joe Johnson's movements in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, such a skill, Zhang Kong estimated that he couldn't do it, there was no problem with his body, but the skills were not the top in the league, but let him defend such skills, it would not be a big problem, all the feints were floating clouds in front of Zhang Kong, which was also his capital based in the NBA.

Seeing Joe Johnson rushing towards him, Zhang Kong's small broken steps also followed, and after retreating three steps back, he supported his left foot and flew directly in front of Joe Johnson, Joe Johnson looked at Zhang Kong who suddenly ran in front of him, and did not stop, but directly in front of Zhang Kong, he picked up the ball with both hands, and then made a turning motion.

Leaning on Zhang Kong, he turned around directly, using the coordination of his body, and wanted to pass Zhang Kong like this, but what he didn't expect was.

He had just turned Zhang Kong, but Murphy on the inside blocked him in front of him, and the block was tight, which scared Joe Johnson at once, because his original script was that after he turned around and passed Zhang Kong, he directly faced the basket attack.

But now Murphy is suddenly in front of him and has become a perfect assistant defense, in fact, even Murphy himself doesn't know why he came to defend Joe Johnson, because just now he was clearly defending the opponent's No. 5 position.

But anyway, Joe Johnson is now facing Murphy, the two eyes are big and small, and after glaring at each other, Joe Johnson took the lead, after all, he is an all-star level player with a level of 89, and Joe Johnson jumped up in front of Murphy, and the layup he was originally prepared turned into a jumper in an instant.

And Murphy watched Joe Johnson jump, and subconsciously raised his hands to jump, because the two were too close to each other, so Joe Johnson deliberately leaned back in order to increase the arc of the basketball, wanting to increase the distance of the shot.

But he forgot about someone, or he was not used to seeing that figure in the Pacers' formation.

"Smack!" Joe Johnson's body had barely leaned back a little when a large hand slapped directly into the basketball in his hand.

Jumping in front of Zhang Kong is a dangerous thing, not to mention leaning back in front of Zhang Kong, especially the back of his head facing him, the basketball is almost the same as the one sent to Zhang Kong, Zhang Kong looked at Joe Johnson's basketball and accepted it with a smile.

"Attack!" After Zhang Kong took the basketball down, he didn't look at the current formation, so he shouted, and after a few people next to him heard Zhang Kong's voice, they rushed towards the front court, and after Zhang Kong landed, he still had the leisure to shoot the basketball and rearrange it into his control, and then looked at the players of the Pacers, and instantly calculated the position of the basketball in his mind.

A long pass directly passed the basketball over, and this time it was Earl Watson who benefited because the kid was the fastest.

Raising his right hand and directly getting the ball thrown by Zhang Kong, Earl Watson didn't even need to adjust, he could get up and attack the basket directly, although the speed and power of Zhang Kong's ball delivery was not very good, but the position was excellent.

There was no need to adjust his posture and position, Earl Watson directly sent the basketball into the hoop.

"Beautiful!" This time, even the players on the Pacers' side couldn't sit still, stood up with their own towels, and kept waving them, on the other hand, on the Hawks' side, Woodson's face changed instantly, and he hurriedly called a timeout, he needed to tidy up.

After Zhang Kong came on the field, he directly played a wave of 7-0 small **, and also blocked the opponent's two attacks, capable people, as long as the surname is not too bad, generally will not be discriminated against by others, and Zhang Kong, in addition to the surname is a little too withdrawn, it will not be too bad, he did not refuse his teammates to come up to celebrate, nor did he refuse the other party's hug, let alone after playing the game, disdain or cold words to his teammates, but his surname is cold, which can't be blamed on him.

"I finally understand why the manager brought you from far away China, you are really strong!" Even Danny Granger couldn't help but laugh when he watched Zhang Kong's performance, and when Dunleavy returned, the Pacers may not have a future.

"Heh......" Zhang Kong listened to Granger's words, just touched his nose, and then stood next to him.

After the timeout, the main players of both teams all returned to the field, and the only substitute on the field was Zhang Kong! After all, Zhang Kong has only been on the court for more than a minute, and the Wizards' lineup at this time is, point guard TJ Ford, scoring guard Zhang Kong, small forward Danny Granger, power forward Troy Murphy, center Roy Hibbert, and the Hawks have all sent the main team.

Woodson could see that after having Zhang Kong, if he didn't send the main force to play, then the morale on his side would be destroyed.

Zhang Kong, this guy is indeed very talented, this talent was only possessed in defense before, but I don't know why, I didn't see this guy go to any training camp this summer, but why did he suddenly develop his offensive ability? In fact, it's not just Woodson who is curious, in addition to Woodson, there are many people who are quite curious.

Because Zhang Kong was on the court, Blanton Rush, last year's rookie, could only sit on the sidelines and watch the water cooler with a depressed face.

And in the next game, Zhang Kong's performance was extremely comprehensive, TJ Ford broke through more than enough, but the organization was insufficient, Danny Granger had more than offense, but not enough defense, Murphy was also strong in offense and weak in defense, Hibbert, a rookie, was more balanced in offense and defense, but the level was there, after Zhang Kong joined this lineup, the trend of the whole game was different.

Although the Pacers also led the Hawks by a lot of points when they didn't have a gap, it didn't take long to get them back.

Because their defensive rating was too poor, and after Zhang Kong joined, the defensive rating of the entire team suddenly increased.

Now, no matter who the Eagles have the ball on, they will take a look at the empty position when attacking.

Just looking at it like this, the offensive rhythm of the whole team was disrupted, looking at the Hawks players who looked like headless flies, the corners of Zhang Kong's and Jim O'Brien's mouths were grinning, this is Zhang Kong's biggest ability and characteristics on the defensive end, disrupting the rhythm.

On the offensive end, Zhang Kong's breakthrough, ball, vision and his breakthrough shooting are no longer like at the beginning, which team he joined, which team is four to five, at the end of the second quarter of the game, the Pacers actually led the Hawks by a full 8 points at 70-62, and Zhang Kong only played a total of 9 minutes and 18 seconds, but he got 5 points, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 1 rebound.

"Almighty, I really don't know what other adjectives I can use to describe this young man from China, he doesn't seem to have anything that he can't, his shooting and passing has become the third scoring point of the Pacers, and his defense and passing have also revitalized the entire Pacers team, as long as the ball plays smoothly, so that it is possible to win the game! If you want to be head coach Jim O'Brien, you should think more about the playing time of this player! The Indiana announcer was in the TV studio and couldn't help but say, and what he said, Jim O'Brien was already thinking about.
