Chapter 460: Zhang's Fast Attack
readx;
Zhang Kong didn't hit the first ball of the game until there were 4:27 left in the first quarter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is his first goal, and it is also his first shot, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Cavaliers are a little behind now, Zhang Kong may not have made a shot, before Zhang Kong's three-point shot, the Cavaliers were already 11-20 behind the opponent by 9 points, and in this case, Zhang Kong had to shoot, and there was no way that no one had a feel except him.
And Zhang Kong's first ball was a dry three-point shot, right in front of Paul, Yan shot Chris Paul, who has been in the limelight recently, Paul has no way to do this, if he is more than bounce, he is not Zhang Kong's opponent.
Coupled with Zhang Kong's height and arm length, there is naturally nothing to say about dealing with Paul, and after a simple dry pull, Zhang Kong helped the Cavaliers hit his first three-pointer of the game, and at the same time chased the score to only 6 points.
And Zhang Kong's performance was not over, in the next attack, Zhang Kong once again rode alone, under the double of Paul and Okafor on the inside, sent his fourth and fifth points in the game, chasing the score to only four points.
The Hornets watched Zhang Kong start firing, and Paul was no longer polite to Zhang Kong, and after stealing Xiao Mo's pass, he made a layup and pulled the score back to six points, but Zhang Kong's side once again took advantage of a misalignment, and before Belinelli didn't defend it, he hit a three-pointer on the outside again, and after hitting the three-point shot, the Cavaliers only trailed the opponent by 3 points.
It was with the momentum of Zhang Kong's eight points in a row that the morale of the Hornets over there was suppressed, and the newly substituted Jamison was able to shoot in the middle of the game, further narrowing the difference between the two sides, until the end of the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers were only one point behind the Hornets 27-28, you must know that not many people were optimistic about the Cavaliers before this, after all, their lineup is a little strange.
In the second quarter of the game, Zhang Kong, who played a full 12 minutes in the first quarter, did not get off the court, except for him, the other main players got the opportunity to rest, and the Cavaliers' lineup on the court also made a big change, the center was replaced by Milicic, the big forward was replaced by Jamison, the small forward was Maddy, who performed well in the last game, the scoring guard was defensive titan Anthony Parker, and the point guard was Zhang Kong, in fact, if Jamison, Milicic and Maddy could play more smoothly.
It's a scary lineup, but of course it's just a matter of thinking, like Milicic didn't play very well today.
But his defensive skills are still there, and the offensive side may not be able to shoot because of poor hands, but he does a good job on the defensive end, defense is an attitude, and a lot of things can be explained in this sentence, with him on the inside, whether it is Okafor or David West, there is a little bit of a shock on the field, and Jamison is also doing quite well as a player.
He was almost in a state of flux with David West on the offensive end, and Maddie had nothing to say about Peja.
The original main player Peja is now staying in the Hornets as a veteran substitute, and it seems that he will not stay in the Hornets for long, and the Hornets' No. 3 position has enough strength to temporarily need Peja, a veteran.
Zhang Kong, who scored eight points in the first quarter, performed extremely eye-catching in the second quarter, and at the beginning of the second quarter, he led the Cavaliers' bench lineup to counterattack, Maddy's layup, Jamison's shot, plus Zhang Kong's breakthrough and three-pointer.
The Cavaliers' bench played well on the court, at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Cavaliers played a wave of 7-0 small **, and in one fell swoop turned the score into 34-28 to surpass the opponent by six points, seeing this situation, Hornets coach Monty Williams had to call a timeout, and then replaced the main players, and the Cavaliers still used such a bench lineup to play, and the last game resurrected Maddie, originally everyone only thought that he was a reflection.
But today he told everyone that he didn't just reflect back, he really came back...... The player opposite Maddie is Ariza, this player's offense may not be very strong, but his defense is definitely at the level of a fierce man, and it seems to him that the old and injured Maddie should not pose much of a threat to him.
But as soon as he came on the court, Maddie gave him a dismount, and in the second quarter for 5 minutes and 08 seconds, Zhang Kong broke through Paul's defense, but Paul still stuck to Zhang Kong's side, Zhang Kong wanted to completely break through Paul It was not easy, fortunately, Zhang Kong was not ready to play by himself, he directly passed the ball behind his head and handed the ball to Maddie on the three-point line.
After Maddie received the ball, Ariza immediately followed, waving her arms to block Maddie.
But Maddie didn't look at him, and directly made a dry pull jump shot, which is worthy of being a genuine dry pull, that is, it looks better than Zhang Kong's work.
The basketball smashed straight into the inside of the basket and bounced into the basket, and Zhang Kong couldn't help but laugh when he saw Maddie's three-pointer.
"This guy is really a little scary after regaining his combat effectiveness, but fortunately, he is still in town!" Zhang Kong glanced at Maddie, who was retreating and glaring at him, and couldn't help but smile, this guy is really proud.
Maddie naturally has his ability to be proud, and now he still remembers what he said to himself on the plane.
This team is Zhang Kong's, all he has to do is to give Zhang Kong a hand, Zhang Kong may not care about the offensive end, but he must defend well on the defensive end, seeing that Tie Zha, who was hit by Maddie just now, did not look very good, Paul gave Ariza a chance to fight with Maddie after dribbling after half the court, and he also pulled Zhang Kong away.
Zhang Kong looked at Paul, naturally knew what he meant, and glanced at Maddie with a little worry, but Maddie winked at Zhang Kong again, seeing that Maddie was so relaxed, Zhang Kong had nothing to say, so he could only shake his head and walk to the sidelines.
Now only Maddie and Ariza are left to go head-to-head, in terms of size, Ariza is a bit like Maddie when he was young, and now Maddie has to say that he is a little out of shape, but this does not prevent him from going head-to-head with Ariza.
Ariza's speed is not slow, and his explosive power is not bad, and he has the ability to shoot from a distance, otherwise he would not have been the core of the Rockets last year, but this guy's offensive ability is really not very good, just like now.
He wanted Maddie with a simple change of direction, if it was still the original Maddie who had injuries in both knees, it might not be easy to prevent Ariza's breakthrough, but now Maddie is very windy, and the small waist twisted, and he directly blocked Ariza's body, there is a lot of momentum that if you dare to collide, I dare to fall, think about Valejo in the Cavaliers, Ariza didn't dare to collide.
But subconsciously both hands have already hugged the ball, and now he has no choice but to shoot in front of Maddie.
But is Maddy's shot in front of him so good? Because it was a hasty shot, and Maddie's waist and legs were not injured, the advantage of strong bounce power was undoubtedly shown at this moment, Ariza's shot was wiped by Maddie's fingers in mid-air, and the basketball began to fall down when it was in mid-air.
"Zhang Kong!" Seeing that Zhang Kong didn't know when he had run to the basket, everyone was stunned, and let Zhang Kong pick up the rebound under the basket, almost like letting Kidd grab the rebound, which indicates that Zhang Kong's team is going to play fast break.
Milicic, who still cooperated with Zhang Kong, reacted relatively quickly, and ran towards the opponent's half court for the first time, and by the time the Hornets players wanted to chase it, it was too late, so they could only watch Milicic run past the half.
And when he came to his offensive position, Zhang Kong's pass had found him accurately, a high aerial throw, jumped directly over all the defenders, and passed the ball accurately into the hands of Milicic, who received the ball and went directly to a very soft layup, so that David West, who was about to block Milicic behind him, made a save.
Originally, such an opportunity was replaced by an American player, and it must have been a dunk, but a player like Milicic, now what he wants is stability, what he wants is data, he doesn't care much about being in the limelight, and the limelight is still left to others.
In this mentality, Milicic switched to a dunk and threw the basketball into the basket with a soft touch.
This made David West, who was already flying behind him, completely unbraked, and the car crashed into him all at once.
The referee's whistle also sounded next to it, 2 + 1, or a fast attack 2 + 1, watching Milicic jump high, Zhang Kong and they also ran over, under the double attack of Maddie and Milicic, the Cavaliers played a wave of small ** again, and after the free throw hit, the Cavaliers hit the opponent a 6-0 small **, looking at the current Cavaliers lineup, Byron Scott's brows slowly wrinkled, he felt as if he had grasped the first element of the current Cavaliers lineup.
"Zhang Kong...... What a guy you love and hate! Looking at Zhang Kong on the court, Byron Scott sighed helplessly, and then called Sessions next to him, and he will come on the court to replace Zhang Kong. Seeing Byron Scott replace him, Zhang Kong smiled, he understood what Byron Scott was worried about, although his worries were a little unnecessary.
