Chapter 163: Fatal Fall

Points have to be chased point by point, food has to be eaten in one bite, Zhang Kong knows this truth, so after returning to the bench, he did not make any more radical remarks, but Jim O'Brien came to life, originally at the end of the half, the 14-point gap made him almost no longer want to continue to play, but now there are 12 minutes left, and the difference between the two teams is only 8 points.

"There is still a chance, and it can't be wasted!" That's the most Jim O'Brien said after returning to the players' lounge.

Then he began to nervously arrange the tactical setting, today's tactics are very simple, since there is no lethality on the side of the outside Pacers, then to say that the Nuggets offense is strong, but their defensive level is not high.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have conceded as many points per game, and now it's a chance to give the Pacers a chance to make a few Nuggets turnovers and even decide a game.

More than 100 seconds of time is very fast, in the case of Jim O'Brien speaking slowly, finally before the electronic bell rings in the fourth quarter, he finished the tactic he wants to say, in fact, this tactic is very simple, Zhang Kong breakthrough, Murphy on the inside line to see if there is a chance, and Zhang Kong to do blocking and dismantling, if Zhang Kong breaks in, there is a chance to pass inside, give the ball to Hibbert, if the inside line has no chance, then come by yourself, if you don't want to come, hand it over to the outside Murphy, if the opponent rotates perfectly, didn't give Zhang Kong such a chance, so he gave it to Granger, who slipped the bottom line, and let him play alone, such a tactic is very simple.

But it is not something that ordinary people can use, because it requires the person who holds the ball to have a very strong vision ability, and Zhang Kong just has it.

His passing kung fu can only be regarded as average, usually when passing the ball is either strong or small, and when passing, the position is always not particularly right, 70 The passing level is also like this, the only thing he is better than those super point guards is his vision, what is 360 degrees without dead ends, Zhang Kong to tell you!

Not only can he see people within 360 degrees of his surroundings, but he can also see his own teammates behind his opponents.

With such a vision, as long as Zhang Kong's passing level reaches 90 or above, then he is guilty of not winning the league's assist king.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhang Kong followed the tactics described by Jim O'Brien and drilled directly into the opponent's interior.

Murphy easily blocked Billups's entanglement, and then Zhang Kong forced the inside, but Kenyon Martin on the inside did not let Nene come over to help defend, but ran out by himself, but how can a Kenyon Martin prevent Zhang Kong, after being replaced by Zhang Kong's back, and then turn around and pass it one and a half, if Kenyon Martin is still at the level of his time with the Nets, he may not be able to prevent such a breakthrough as Zhang Kong, but unfortunately although he has a level of 87 now, but his attitude on the court, Everything has been decided! Seeing that Zhang Kong passed Kenyon Martin, Avra Roma next to him came up to fill in the position.

This gave Zhang the opportunity to pass the ball straight from Afflalo's side with a simple ground-hitting pass.

Afflaro didn't even have time to look back, as Dundee Jones behind him had already received the basketball, and was only four feet away from the basket, hitting a light jumper that no one had defended at such a close distance, and it would be strange if he couldn't shoot it.

Seeing the Pacers' opener, the Nuggets were a little unhappy, Billups took the ball himself, and after halftime, directly faced Zhang Kong, for him, although the ball just now was scored by Deng Tai Jones, but 90% of the credit is Zhang Kong. If it weren't for Zhang Kong breaking through himself and then attracting two people to the pack, Dundee Jones might not have had a chance to shoot.

This can be regarded as a loss of face, so Billups wants to get this face back in front of Zhang Kong.

Dribbling to the Pacers' three-point line, Zhang Kong's eyes have been staring at Billups, the skill of prediction has been opened, this ball can't be thrown into Billups no matter what, Billups faced Zhang Kong, made a simple crotch change of hands, and broke through directly, he knew that there was no point in making fake moves in front of Zhang Kong, this guy was born with a talent for seeing through fake moves, this theorem has been passed in the NBA, and fake moves are invalid for Zhang Kong.

So Billups dribbled directly through the inside line from the beginning, watching Billups run over, Zhang Kong was not polite, his arms were horizontal, and he directly blocked in front of the opponent, Billups's strength is among the top in point guards.

Even for some poor inner lines, his strength is superior, but unfortunately today is facing Zhang Kong, if Zhang Kong says that his strength is the second in the league, then no one dares to sit in the first position in the alliance, and the two collided together.

Billups had already guessed that it was impossible for him to easily break through Zhang Kong without anyone's help, and now that the two collided together, he had already thought that a veteran is a veteran, and at the moment when the two collided, Billups took a step back.

immediately jumped up, and with the help of the countershock force of Zhang Kong's power, he forcibly leaned back to shoot in the face of such a shot.

The corners of Zhang Kong's eyebrows jumped, but he jumped up quickly, Zhang Kong has another advantage in the face of Billups, that is, height and arm span, although now Zhang Kong is still equipped with a perfect card, a perfect attack card, but he is still a little higher than Billups, like Zhang Kong used before, instantly replace the perfect card in the system, this trick can not be commonly used.

The last time Zhang Kong was really forced by Kobe Bryant, otherwise it would not be possible to use it, because the time is too short, and this trick is too consuming mental power, and it has considerable damage to his body, so now Zhang Kong generally wants to change it only during the rest time, so that there is enough time to support himself to grow taller, otherwise it will be forcibly replaced like this, and after a long time, Zhang Kong's bones will have problems, although now Zhang Kong's body is digitized, but he is not a pure robot, he is still a human.

Billups didn't expect Zhang Kong's reaction to be so fast, all he could do was to lean back as much as possible, and then throw a higher arc, he was right to do so, when the ball was thrown out of Billups' hand, Zhang Kong was indeed almost untouchable, but the fingertips of the middle finger of his right hand, which grew a small piece, still lightly rubbed the ball.

Just wiped it like this, directly let the ball deviate from his route, looking at the basketball in the air, Zhang Kong knew that this ball could not be there!

Sure enough, the basketball flew halfway and sank, but I never expected that it would fall into Aflaro's arms.

Before Dundee Jones could react, Afflaro had already hit a shot to open the score on both sides again...... Looking at the ball, everyone shook their heads, luck is sometimes part of strength, and Afflaro is lucky.

Although the luck of the Nuggets is okay, but when the main force of the Nuggets is not on, the rhythm of the game has slowly turned to the Pacers' side, Zhang Kong's rhythm is getting smoother and smoother, and the passes in his hands are more and more converted into assists, and finally when there are 8 minutes and 26 seconds left in the second quarter, the Nuggets can't sit still, because the score on the court has become 91-89 at this time, the Pacers have recovered the gap of 6 points, and now the distance between the two teams is only 2 points, had no choice but to replace all of their main lineup in advance, and after the Nuggets' main lineup came on the court, their offensive ability increased greatly, but the Pacers finally got their feel back, round after round of offense, and the two sides fought against each other, if the shooting rate was still higher than the Nuggets.

But the Pacers have Zhang Kong, a master of blocking, and it also makes up for the lack of shooting percentage on their side.

The game continued to play until the end of the game with 1:47 left, when Luthor Hyde, who came off the bench, received a pass from Zhang Kong, and was fouled by the opponent's No. 2 Marrick Allen when he shot, and the Pacers called a timeout directly because the two teams were gray at 107-105...... As long as Luthor Hyde hit two free throws, the score will be tied, and the Nuggets will suffer at that time.

Looking at the score on the court, the whole Pacers team was full of hope, while the Nuggets were a little blinded.

After all, they were a full eight points ahead of their opponents before the start of the quarter, and ten minutes later, their eight points were about to disappear, which was definitely not a good thing for George Karl, who used his hoarse voice to talk loudly about his tactics, hoping that his players could withstand the pressure at the last moment! At the end of the timeout, Hyde went straight to the free throw line and now had to execute his two free throws, after all, Hyde is also a pitcher, and free throws are not much of a problem.

The first free throw, Hyde hit steadily, and when the second free throw, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Zhang Kong, Zhang Kong looked at Hyde and nodded, and when Hyde made the second free throw, he obviously increased his shot, and the basketball bounced down directly on the basket.

This is a tactic that has been arranged a long time ago, and the Nuggets did not expect that Hyde would throw it at this time, Kenyon Martin and Nene on the inside did not have time to get in the position, and the basketball was directly grabbed by Hibbert, watching Hibbert grab the rebound in the frontcourt, Kenyon Martin and Nene both made up for it, but Hibbert had already thought of the route of the pass, and passed the ball directly when the two had not blocked, and Zhang Kong on the outside had been waiting here for a long time.

Billups has been staring at Zhang Kong all the time, and after seeing Zhang Kong take the ball, he pounced as soon as possible, but unfortunately, Zhang Kong did not want to attack by himself, but directly handed the ball back to Hyde, who had retreated to the side, Luther Hyde is the person who is most prone to hot heads, and likes to throw waves, but I have to say that when he feels up, he is also quite powerful.

Now his hand is not bad, and at the three-point line, Hyde didn't even look at Afflalo, who was still in the distance, and shot directly.

The basketball didn't stay in the air for too long, it fell directly into the net, it was originally just a chance to equalize, but now it is two points ahead!
