Chapter 16: Sharp Blocking and Demolition Tactics
24-20, 20-19, half the game passed quickly, to everyone's surprise, the Kings actually led the Jazz by as much as 5 points at home, and Zhang Kong's performance also made everyone's eyes shine, how to defend Deron Williams' breakthrough, this has always been a disease in everyone's hearts, but today's Zhang Kong let everyone know how to defend this fat man.
"Huh...... Heh...... "Put the towel on his head, Zhang Kong leaned against the front of the cabinet in the locker room, panting heavily, for him, the time of the first half of today's game is too exhausting, a full 24 minutes, Zhang Kong did not have a minute of rest, even if Deron Williams was off, he was also on the court, without resting.
If it weren't for the fact that the Jazz team really doesn't have a second offensive point now, maybe the Jazz have opened the score now, after all, the Kings' offensive ability is still too poor, in the first half of the game, even if Kevin Martin came back, the score was only 44 points, and Zhang Kong's half-court block has reached 5 times, three of which were given to Delon, the remaining two were given to Brewer, and one was given to Oku who wanted to play alone on the outside, although Zhang Kong's block was particularly passionate, However, the Kings' offense didn't turn so many blocks into wins, but they just pressed the Jazz.
"Are you tired?" Bobby Brown looked at Zhang Kong next to him, and now he was really impressed by Zhang Kong.
This cold-looking teenager didn't expect to have such a strong strength, it seems that he is really not an ordinary person.
"Also...... OK! I need a break! Zhang Kong leaned back in his chair, beads of sweat falling from his head.
"Coach, do you want Zhang Kong to take ......a break in the second half," Miller, who was sitting next to him, walked up to Reggie Cias and discussed with him whether to let Zhang Kong take a break, after all, Zhang Kong is only a twenty-year-old young man this year.
"Rest? No way! Reggie Cias was still thinking about it there, but when he heard the word rest, he immediately reacted, and the boss's request he remembered very clearly, so that this Zhang Kong did not have a minute's rest, so that it was okay.
Even if it's an iron man, he needs time to rest, but Zhang Kong looks like he doesn't want to rest for a minute today.
"Won't this tire him out......" Dante Green also interjected quietly from the side.
"Hehe, he's not such a tired guy, I give him plenty of playing time, he should thank me!" Reggie Cias pointed to Zhang Kong in the distance, and now he was sure that this Zhang Kong must have offended the boss.
"Rest? I don't need to! At this time, Zhang Kong also ripped off the towel covering his head, and smiled kindly at Miller, for him, rest is impossible, he still has a task to complete, this task is not simple.
"Hey......" Seeing that Zhang Kong didn't say that he wanted to rest, Miller and they all closed their mouths, the locker room was very quiet for a while, and they could only breathe in Zhang Kong's tired panting voice, Kevin Martin in the distance glanced at Zhang Kong, and looked away, he is such a surname, and it is estimated that he has no confidence in the Kings now.
At the beginning of the second half, the lineup on the court did not change, point guard Yudri, second point guard Zhang Kong, small forward Kevin Martin, double center Hawes and Brad Miller, and the Jazz did not do much to investigate.
In the first half of the game, Zhang Kong blocked 5 times, 0 fouls, 0 points, 1 assist, 0 turnovers and 0 rebounds (at the beginning), and De Xiaopang, who was opposite him, also had 0 points, 1 rebound and 2 turnovers today, but he had 4 assists.
In Barkley's eyes, Delon is the best player in the league right now, and of course that's just what he says.
However, today's best player made Zhang Kongfang a little depressed, in fact, as long as DeLong is willing to cut his body, the ball is in his own hands to attack, how can he score a few goals, but Sloan's silver power in the Jazz team is huge.
If Delon dares to make a move without a good opportunity, even if it is an All-Star level existence, he will have to sit on the cold bench.
The first minute of the second half was a one-minute tie with no hits on either side, and finally Kevin Martin hit the first shot of the second half after a pull-up jumper, and then Brewer received a wonderful pass from DeLong and hit a jumper from 19 feet out.
The score on both sides is still half pulling and half rising, the five-point gap becomes seven points for a while, and three points for a while, chasing each other, for the Jazz, now is a difficult period for them, every victory has to be hard, so they have to work hard.
And the Kings have done a lot of things, they need to keep the score lead, and they must not be caught up.
Chasing points is a mentality, leading is a mentality, if you are tied or even overtaken by the opponent, it is another mentality.
In the field of basketball, mentality is a particularly important part, the Rockets that Chinese fans like very much, but the mentality is extremely bad, and it will collapse only if there is a fluctuation, and the Kings are similar, but now the Kings have a blank existence.
The third quarter of the game ended quickly in the cries of the Kings' home fans, because of the third quarter, there were not many timeouts, and the two coaches seemed to keep the timeouts and call them when it was critical! At the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams became 70-64, and the Kings led the opponent by 6 points, which was neither too much nor too little.
The more than two minutes of rest in the middle of each quarter of the game is too little for Zhang Kong now! Before I could even breathe, I started directly, when I used to watch basketball, I always felt that the time in the middle was too long, but after becoming a player, I felt that the time in the middle was too short, and now Zhang Kong has been playing for 36 minutes in a row, and his physical strength has been a little unable to support it.
Even if it is a physical strength of 99, in the case of full defense, at most it can last 44 or 45 minutes without overdraft!
Now that he counts it, Zhang Kong will be able to stand up for another ** minute, and he will not be able to stand it! Before that, he needed to save his physical strength, but he had no way to do so, and Delong's presence made him not have the slightest intention to conserve his physical strength.
You must not let the opponent score...... He knows that very well!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Bobby Brown, who replaced Udri, received an assist from Kevin Martin and hit a three-point shot from 25 feet out to stretch the score to nine points, but this was also the final score of the Kings in the first half of the fourth quarter.
The next time belonged to the Jazz, it belonged to their blocking time, first Korver blocked and scored two points on a layup, then Millsap and Korver cooperated with the pick-and-roll, received the latter's pass and scored a layup, Almond and Millsap blocked and picked, received the latter's assist and hit a hook shot from four feet out, then Almond made one of two free throws after a foul, and Korver hit a three-point shot through the pick-and-roll.
In the time without Deron Williams on the court, the Jazz went on an 8-0 run to turn the score from a nine-point deficit to just one point...... The crucial goal came with 5 minutes and 30 seconds left before the end of the game.
Udri's pass was stealed by CJ Myers, and after the steal, CJ Myers passed to DeLong, who went down quickly, while Brewer and CJ Myers stepped forward to the front court with one left and one right, and at this time there was only one defender in the Kings' half! Zhang Kong.
"Danger, look at this next offense, three on one in the frontcourt, Deron Williams with the ball, CJ Myers and Brewer have all started to go down quickly, to the King's half, will Delon pass the ball or will it come by himself...... If I were Zhang Kong, I would be very nerve-wracking at this time! Look, Delon is at the three-point line! The commentator at the scene loudly reported the situation on the court, and the three long lines belonging to the Jazz had attacked the Kings, and there was only one person defending the city at this time.
"Come on, you are! Bring about one's own destruction! Zhang Kong touched his chin, when it comes to defense, he is an expert!
