However, things seem to be turning in the direction of the Pacers, because after most of the game, the other players of the Pacers, those who have not seen the world, finally let go a little.
On the Pacers' side, only Zhang Kong and Granger can score, while the Lakers' situation is a little less good.
Kobe Bryant could play the full 48 minutes, but the people around him couldn't play that time, so they had to rotate, and the Lakers' bench ...... Hehe, that's what it's all about! If the wind is smooth, let alone scoring double-doubles, it is not a big problem to win 20+, but is the Lakers a tailwind now? The tug-of-war between Zhang Kong and Kobe Bryant made the whole scene look extremely good, and the offensive and defensive transitions were extremely frequent, and the two sides could only be said to be incompatible, and it had nothing to do with tailwind.
After the Lakers' bench players came on the court, they played soy sauce, and the main offensive point was still Kobe, but the offensive points on the Pacers' side were Zhang Kong and Granger, Gasol was on the inside, Kobe was on the outside, and Zhang Kong and Granger were on the outside.
In this way, these four people became the protagonists of the whole game, and Al Jefferson, who had been expected to be high, softened again at the critical moment.
Zhang Kongzhen wondered how his rating of 89 points came about, whether it was all added to the family name, and there was no emotion at all, and his offensive ability at critical moments was really poor, and now he is doing more on the Pacers than the defensive gate.
But looking at his chubby size, he can't be like Garnett, who can defend five positions alone, and he can defend two positions at most, center and power forward, but this also gives the Pacers a slight advantage on the inside.
Al Jefferson pestered Gasol, and although he couldn't completely abolish him, it also prevented him from using his 10% skill.
As the Pacers' side opened more and more, Zen master Phil Jackson's face gradually changed, as the coach with the most championship rings among active players, he naturally has his own talent, and in his opinion, the current situation of the Lakers is not good.
Just as he was trying to figure out how to help the Lakers turn this unfavorable situation back, it was too late, because the Pacers over there had already made a move...... After the baptism of the first three and a half quarters, Zhang Kong's current shooting percentage can only be regarded as miserable.
He is currently shooting 5-of-15 from three-point range...... Yes, the remaining five three-pointers are piled up again, and all the shots are currently 8 of 20, and the shooting rate is not high, but Zhang Kong is confident, and in the next time, the shooting rate will be raised again.
In the next attack, Zhang Kong dribbled to the half court again, looking at Kobe Bryant in front of him, Zhang Kong smiled lightly.
With a wave of his hand, Hibbert on the inside line ran out to block Zhang Kong.
Zhang Kong made a simple lateral move, and let Hibbert card Kobe Bryant next to him, and took advantage of the moment when no one was defending, Zhang Kong threw the basketball in his hand, which is not an empty shot, what is an empty shot? Being unguarded, having plenty of time to aim, standing low or waiting for the opponent to pass the ball to you is the basis of being a shooter.
Although Zhang Kong is unguarded now, Kobe Bryant is next to him, he has no time to aim, and his opportunities are completely created by himself, so such a shot after blocking and dismantling is not an empty shot, but it is enough for Zhang Kong.
Such a shot has turned the pressure on Kobe Bryant to Zhang Kong to the minimum, and in this case, the shooting percentage is very powerful!
Zhang Kong jumped up directly, threw the basketball in his hand gently, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, eliminating the Lakers' idea of grabbing rebounds, and plunged directly into the Nets, and the original 2-point difference instantly became five points.
The Lakers saw this situation, and Kobe Bryant was also very unhappy now, but in the next offense, he was targeted by Zhang Kong again, so he could only transfer the ball to the interior and let Gasol single Al Jefferson.
Gasol's offensive means are very rich, continuous feints, and after Jefferson couldn't even find the north, he turned around and sent the basketball into the basket, but before he could be happy, Zhang Kong here came again and dribbled directly to the opponent's half.
Kobe Bryant stared at Zhang Kong this time, he wouldn't let Zhang Kong shoot so easily, but was Zhang Kong so easy to defend? After handing the ball to his right hand, Zhang Kong suddenly made a forward breakthrough action, attracting Kobe's center of gravity.
Then Zhang Kong retracted his foot and jumped from beyond the three-point line...... This action is actually not a feint, otherwise it would not be possible to shake Kobe's center of gravity so easily, because if Kobe Bryant didn't move to the side, the empty would really break through.
This is not a joke, Zhang Kong and other people's step-back shots, the biggest difference is that Zhang Kong can turn the step-back step into a real breakthrough at any time, which also starts from his body, in Zhang Kong's view, this step-back shot is not a must-kill.
But it's one of the most important offensive skills of his now.,The must-kill is put at a critical moment.,And this step-back shot is a small move.,You can put it in normal times.,And it doesn't consume RP value.,It's because you can freely change the true or false surname of this breakthrough.。
Therefore, Zhang Kong's move is still very popular in the alliance, and ordinary people really can't prevent his variant move.
Rondo was the last victim, Zhang Kong took a step forward, Rondo was fooled for the first time, the center of gravity shifted, and then Zhang Kong hit a three-pointer.
The second time, Zhang Kong took a step forward, Rondo ignored him, and Zhang Kong broke through directly, making Rondo quite passive.
Zhang Kong directly hit three points again! In an instant, the difference of three points became six...... Then here Artest missed the shot, and the six-point advantage became nine...... Seeing Zhang Kong score three three-pointers in a row, Phil Jefferson here immediately called a timeout.
He's not going to let the Pacers get rid of his players like that, and now he needs to reset his play.
After the pause came back, not to mention Phil Jackson's style of play was really successful, originally Kobe Bryant held the ball, and everyone felt that he might have to come by himself, so most people's eyes were on his side, he first broke through Duntai Jones and attracted Zhang Kong's supplementary defense, Zhang Kong's main defensive object today is not Kobe, he is mainly responsible for Kobe's supplementary defensive state.
And at this moment, Kobe Bryant turned the ball in his hand and handed it directly to the outside line from the inside, Fisher was on the outside at this time, naturally unmarked, Zhang Kong came to defend Kobe, and Dundee Jones has not yet been settled, the veteran's experience is undoubtedly revealed at this moment, he is very stable and also hit a three-pointer, temporarily helping the Lakers stabilize the situation.
But on the other hand, the Pacers scored another three points, and this three points were not scored by Zhang Kong, but by Granger! After Zhang Kong dribbled the ball after half time, Phil Jackson deliberately brought Artest over in order to deal with Zhang Kong, and let Artest and Kobe Bryant defend Zhang Kong in pairs, and the easiest way to defend Zhang Kong is to defend in pairs, but they underestimate Granger a little too much!
Zhang Kong glanced at the double defense in front of him, smiled lightly, and the basketball in his hand turned and handed it directly into the hands of Granger next to him. So this time Zhang Kong also handed the ball into Granger's hands, and Granger did not live up to Zhang Kong's expectations and hit three points on the outside steadily! After the point difference became nine points again, Kobe Bryant had to accept a double block, and after blocking Zhang Kong, he broke through to the layup, but Zhang Kong hit another three-point shot!
Seven points instantly became ten, and seeing that the point difference was double, Phil Jackson also knew that it was getting more and more difficult to win.
Here, the defensive quality of the Lakers suddenly improved, so that Zhang Kong no longer dared to easily try three points on the outside, but today Zhang Kong's RP is really good, at a critical moment, Zhang Kong's ability to pass the ball appeared again, this time it was Murphy who shot.
Another three-pointer, the Lakers finally turned 10 points into 8 points, and now it has become 11 points in an instant...... At this time, Zhang Kong's last three points were the last fatal straw that crushed the Lakers...... When Zhang Kong's last three-point shot was made, even a fool knew that the Lakers' side was gone! The Pacers didn't give the Lakers a chance next.
The outside line is opened, and the Pacers are the sharpest spear in the world, and the Lakers' shield has already made this spear smash!
Zhang Kong, Granger, and Murphy contributed a total of 15 three-pointers throughout the game, and at the critical moment, Dundee Jones rushed inside to cause Gasol's sixth foul, made five of two free throws, and collapsed the opponent's interior pillar...... Of course, these six fouls are a bit suspicious of the home whistle, but they didn't prevent the Pacers from winning the first game at home.
117-102, the Pacers won the first victory of the Finals on their home court, and with 2:05 left in the fourth quarter, the Pacers had led the Lakers by as many as 17 points.
At the moment when the whistle sounded for the whole game, Zhang Kong threw his towel high into the sky, and the game was very hard.
But they are the victors in the end, and history is written by the victors, isn't it? This game belongs to the Pacers.
