Chapter 150: Let the basketball fly a little longer
"Hey!" Zhang Kong's outside line roared, but the effect was not obvious, because the two receivers, Granger and Earl Watson, were particularly entangled by the Hawks, and Joe Johnson kept waving his arms in front of Zhang Kong.
wanted to find a pass to interfere with Zhang Kong, seeing that the five-second service time was about to pass, and finally Earl Watson ran out of a gap, Zhang Kong threw the ball directly, but who would have thought that Earl Watson just received the ball, and Mike Bibby next to him killed directly, his defensive level was very poor, so he didn't expect to be able to defend Watson, but directly used everything, all this was really accurate, just cut on the basketball, although he scratched Watson's fingers, but the most critical moment of such a game, The referee didn't blow the whistle to signal the game to continue, and after being cut, the basketball naturally fell from Watson's hand.
Watching the basketball fall, Bibby and Watson, who were closest to the basketball, both lay down and picked up the ball as soon as possible.
Or Watson's age is a little younger, squeezed away Mike Bibby, and copied the basketball into his arms, but his center of gravity has been lost and is falling to the ground, Mike Bibby has not given up, as long as Watson falls, he may hold the basketball, or even grab it, if he holds the basketball, it is definitely a scrum, if he grabs, then the Eagles have a chance to kill.
Watson saw Mike Bibby pounce, how he didn't know what wishful thinking he was playing, and it happened that at this time he saw a familiar figure next to him, anyway, he didn't know who it was, and passed the basketball directly.
After the man received the basketball, he did not attack directly, but spared half a circle on the spot, using the bodies of Watson and Bibby to block the figure behind him, at this time he had already appeared at the top of the arc of the three-point line, glanced at the time, it was too late!
"Vote!" The person who holds the ball now is none other than Zhang Kong, and Joe Johnson, who has been following him to defend him, has allowed him to skillfully use the bodies of Watson and Bibby who fell to the ground to block it, and now Zhang Kong only has the basket in front of him!
"There's no time!" Watching the time on the timer fly by, Zhang Kong couldn't help but take a deep breath, this is not the first time he has cast a lore, to be precise, it should be the third time, but the first two times were to catch ducks on the shelves, and he had to vote when he was forced to go.
And now Zhang Kong took the initiative to come out to catch the ball, looking at the time in front of him, Zhang Kong took a deep breath, and then jumped up gently.
At this time, Zhang Kong's wrist was extremely flexible, the four fingers of his right hand, gently pushed the basketball out of his hand, the basketball slowly flew to the basket with a rotation, looking at the trajectory of the basketball, many people couldn't help frowning slightly, this ball is big!
But there was no sadness or joy on Zhang Kong's face, when the basketball was still in the air, the red light turned on, and at this time Earl Watson and Mike Bibby had already stood up from the ground, looking at the basketball in front of him, Earl Watson shook his head.
"Didn't enter...... Earl Watson looked at Zhang Kong next to him and muttered quietly, this voice was just for Zhang Kong to hear.
"Heh, don't worry, let the basketball fly for a while......" Zhang Kong looked at the basketball in the air and smiled softly.
It doesn't matter if the goal goes in or not, but who doesn't want to settle the game right here? Zhang Kong didn't want to play overtime either.
The basketball drew a very flat arc in the air, and then smashed straight into the neck of the basket, bouncing high.
Everyone was relieved to see the goal, the Atlanta fans were happy, the goal didn't go in, and the Indiana fans were disappointed, but they didn't lose the game, and they didn't blame Zhang Kong.
Everyone was ready for overtime, but only Zhang Kong was still standing there, looking at the basketball with a funny face.
Sure enough, the basketball did not disappoint him, the high-bouncing basketball actually smashed directly on the top edge of the basket, and then stopped there, and the player who was already about to leave turned around again and looked at the basketball on the top edge of the rebound, his eyes were full of surprise.
"Heh, here it is!" Zhang Kong chuckled at this time, and the basketball slowly fell in the direction of the basket, without giving the Hawks players any chance at all, and just fell directly into the nets, this time not only the Hawks fans were dumbfounded, but the Hawks players, coaches, plus the Pacers' players, coaches and referees were dumbfounded.
They've seen lore kills, the Pacers claim that the Giant Killer isn't for nothing, and Granger has done it many times.
But like today's lore, they really haven't seen it, Zhang Kong saw the ball in, just smiled, and then turned around and walked into the locker room, and after he left, the referee on the scene and everyone came to their senses, the referee whistled, signaling that the three points were valid, because Zhang Kong just threw it out and did not have time, 125-122, the Pacers away from the league Hawks, and the brightest star of this game is not Danny Granger, who scored 31 points in a single game.
It's not the eagles who scored in double figures for the six, it's the back of the one who walked to the locker room.
"Number 88!" The Eagles fans looked at the back of the man who walked to the locker room, and muttered to him, they didn't know what to say at this time, the basketball was thrown by this man at the last moment, although it was a little bizarre, but it was in.
Luck is also a part of strength, this sentence was originally not believed by many people, but now these people believe it!
"Three pairs, three pairs!" Looking at Zhang Kong's performance, all the Pacers players jumped up.
Tonight, it belongs to Zhang Kong, in the first game of the second year, he directly got the legendary three again, or just 10 points, 10 assists and 10 blocks, there is no extra fraction, Granger, who scored more than 31 points, also let Zhang Kong's light be covered up today, and at this time, Zhang Kong, who returned to the locker room, did not have any superfluous actions, after taking a shower, before the media blocked the door, Zhang Kong returned to the bus, everyone knows that this is Zhang Kong's habit.
And Jim O'Brien can only take Danny Granger to the press conference when he can't find Zhang Kong, but whether it is Granger or Jim O'Brien, there is some embarrassment at the press conference, because all the questions raised by everyone are related to Zhang Kong, and Zhang Kong, who suddenly appeared in the sky tonight, made everyone's eyes shine.
Jim O'Brien and Larry Bird were originally brain-dead models in the league, of course, this is only one game, and brain-dead can't become Bole, but people are more willing to look forward to Zhang Kong's performance after that, and Jim O'Brien's most difficult question to answer is that a reporter asked whether he didn't let Zhang Kong play for even a minute in the preseason because of a disagreement with Zhang Kong.
Of course, he was at odds with Zhang Kong, but after this game, this discordant factor disappeared, because Zhang Kong could help him and help the Pacers win the game, so when asked this question, he was just a little embarrassed, but he said with certainty that he had a good relationship with Zhang Kong, Zhang Kong entered the Pacers not to play, but to play, and he was not allowed to play in the preseason because he had not yet adapted to the rhythm of the Pacers, and now he has adapted.
Of course, there will be some local media to ask about the black gold incident, but for this incident, all the people's answers are three words, I don't know! This is also true, because the black gold incident they heard about is just a rumor, and Zhang Kong has never said it.
"Hey, brother, you're on fire!" Sitting in the team's bus, Earl Watson, who was specially cared for by Zhang Kong today, ran over, patted Zhang Kong's shoulder, and said loudly, he scored 20 points today, and in these twenty points, there are at least four assists from Zhang Kong, who told him to run the fastest, after Zhang Kong blocked, he has now begun to play long passing, and then Granger also realized that this is a good opportunity to brush points, so he also began to run with Earl Watson, whoever runs fast, who will be the first to receive the ball after Zhang Kong's block, Zhang Kong didn't favor Granger because he was the boss of the team.
"Heh......" Zhang Kong just smiled, still sitting in the last row by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window.
Watson has also recently become familiar with Zhang Kong's surname, and he still said with a smile to Zhang Kong, and the faces of the original main point guard TJ Ford and the main scoring guard Blanton Rush are not very good-looking, after all, the two of them are the main starters.
And Dunleavy, who was the last to board the bus, also deliberately glanced at Zhang Kong, who was sitting at the back of the bus, and then sat next to the coach.
"This Zhang Kong is very strong!" Dunleavy looked at Jim O'Brien next to him and whispered, Jim O'Brien listened to Dunleavy's words, and smiled weirdly, he naturally knew what Dunleavy was worried about, after all, there were only five starting positions.
"Don't worry, your position is guaranteed!" Jim O'Brien looked at Dunleavy next to him and whispered, hearing Jim O'Brien's report, Mike Dunleavy also laughed, what he wanted was the head coach's words.
Jim O'Brien and the trainer next to him glanced at each other, and there was a smile in both of their eyes.
Because apart from the two of them, no one in the team knows that Zhang Kong's first position is PG, and no one will believe that a big man with a height of 198 cm is playing PG, and it is not Dunleavy that is worried, but TJ Ford.
And now looking at TJ-Ford's bitter and sad look, you know that he is very worried now, very worried!
