Chapter 33: The Ravages of Nowitzki
Chapter 33: The Ravages of Nowitzki
Rumble!
The Quickloan Arena erupted in earth-shattering cheers, what would be the favorite thing for Cavaliers fans to see? Wins, great performances from their own stars, and ...... Seeing other teams' stars being wreaked havoc. Especially when you are ravaged by your own players.
Zhang Kong's back hits and dunks are almost not mixed with any technical elements, all but three things, violent, violent and very violent!
But violence is the element that can most awaken the human G-spot.
"It's the most unskilled back-to-back singles I've ever seen." Kenny Smith said with a bad face: "Although it is effective, it is too ugly, and it is useless except to be rough." ”
After saying that, Kenny Smith suddenly felt a little strange, as if something was missing. Confused for a moment before he suddenly reacted, this time, his old partner Charles actually didn't habitually disagree with him? It's so rare that Kenny Smith is a little caught off guard by the sudden encounter.
Smith glanced at Barkley, only to find that Barkley's eyes had been fixed on the big screen all the time, and now the big screen was replaying the goal that Zhang had just scored.
After looking at it for a long time, Barkley suddenly exhaled and continued, "Kenny, did you notice that Zhang Kong's offensive methods just now resemble a person?" ”
"Like a person?" Kenny Smith recalled in his own head, and for a long time, he didn't find a famous player who could use such a simple and crude back-to-back technique.
"You don't mean to talk about yourself. Hi Barkley, although you say that you play back-to-back attack, you can't say that everyone who plays back-to-back attack is like you. Besides, his back-to-back attack was so crude, the kind of attack that relied on brute force alone was similar to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. ”
"No, Kenny, there's a big guy who's played that way when he first came into the league, and no one can stop him." Barkley shook his head and said, "He had very little skill at the time, but you just couldn't stop him from wreaking havoc on the basket, you should remember that guy, Kenny." ”
"You mean, O'Neill?" A name popped into his head, and Kenny Smith couldn't help but ask in a whisper.
"That's right, O'Neal is like that when he just joined the league." Barkley nodded heavily: "The skill is just as immature, but the power can't be stopped." We've been saying he's going to develop his attacking technique, but now, perhaps, he's found the right thing for him. ”
On the court, on the defensive end, Zhang Kong did not hesitate to give up the protection of the inside line and directly target Nowitzki. This is also a tactic that has been laid out early in the morning, using Zhang Kong's swift movement and powerful movement to completely strangle Nowitzki's point. Although the Mavericks are not the only firepower point, the biggest threat is always this soft German.
His soft touch, range beyond the three-point line and his ability to respond in the high post are the biggest assets for the Mavericks to become a powerhouse in the league.
was strangled by Zhang Kong, and the Mavericks' offense began to shift to the outside, saying that their offense has been on the outside, even Nowitzki, although he has the height and name of the big forward, but most of his offense is projection on the outside, using his flexible footsteps to shake off the defender and cut into the restricted area, but it is a special means.
Harris opened the shot, scoring two points on a mid-range shot, and then Stackhouse broke through and caused a foul on Ilgoskas, hitting both free throws to kick off the offensive frenzy, and Jones shook off Gibson and hit a mid-range shot. From the very beginning of the game, the Mavericks showed good feel and condition as a whole.
And on the offensive end, Zhang Kong continued to ask for the ball to play Novitzki. James saw that Zhang Kong was very sure of playing Nowitzki, and he was happy to play Zhang Kong, and continued to feed Zhang Kong the ball on the offensive end.
Nowitzki is not short in height and has good defensive skills, and if Zhang Kong chooses other offensive methods, Nowitzki can also interfere with Zhang Kong's offense. But the difference in strength is too big, so he has no way to resist Zhang Kong's back-to-back singles.
So, in the first five minutes of the first quarter, all the live audience and those sitting in front of the TV saw a strange scene. On the offensive end of the Mavericks, they played passionately and blossomed, but on the offensive end of the Cavaliers, they only saw Zhang Kong beating Nowitzki alone.
Again and again, the back impact knocked Nowitzki staggered, and again and again the flying storm knocked Nowitzki out of the field. Take the scene, that impact, even the fans of the Cavaliers can't help but feel compassion.
Damn, where is this playing, this is clearly murder!
The audience couldn't stand it, and the players on the Mavericks court were even more unlikely to sit idly by, and finally when Zhang Kong once again singled Nowitzki with his back and squeezed him into the penalty area to prepare for another Yan dunk, Dampier, known as the second center in the West, rushed up directly and slapped Zhang Kong's hand viciously with his big palm.
Syllable!
The sudden force made Zhang Kong's dunk deviate a little, and the basketball buckled on the blue neck and bounced out.
The referee immediately blew the whistle and made a foul gesture, and the goal was valid, and a penalty was added. Johnson, the junior general, hurriedly took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to call a long timeout.
Zhang Kong waved his arm, there was a little pain hidden between his eyebrows, Dampier used great strength, a posture of wanting to break his hand, when Zhang Kong raised his head to look at him, Dampier stared at Zhang Kong provocatively.
"And." Ignoring him, this kind of little person didn't need Zhang Kong's attention, and when he returned to the bench, Ilgoskas first gave Zhang Kong a bear hug, and then touched his head and said: "Well done, boy, you did such a beautiful job, that German guy is scared of you." How did you learn this skill, I obviously didn't see you use it when I trained. ”
"Well done." James also walked up and touched Zhang Kong's head and said, "Beat Nowitzki down, and we will win this game." ”
When he came on the court again, Zhang Kong saw that Nowitzki was really changed off the court, but the junior general Johnson did not replace a power forward, but replaced Jason Terry.
One big with four small, this is to play small ball tactics.
Two free throws are too easy for Zhang Kong, who has a free throw attribute of 99 points. Both free throws were easy hits. Seeing Nowitzki off the court, it didn't make sense for Zhang Kong to continue to top the free throw line, so he simply retracted to the inside and went back to grasp the rebound.
The Cavaliers, led by LeBron, have also shrunk their defense, and if the Mavericks want to bet on three-point shooting they will let them go, three-point shooting is not dead.
But the development of things was beyond James's expectations, and instead of scoring three points on the outside, Starkerhouse, who controlled the ball after playing, directly controlled the ball and went inside.
Seeing Starhouse rushing towards his area, Zhang Kong didn't think much about it, he won directly, standing one step outside the reasonable collision area, when he saw the rushing Starhouse picking up and preparing to make a layup, Zhang Kong jumped up against the rushing Starhouse, the two bodies made a slight contact in the air, and Zhang Kong's hitter accurately slapped on the basketball.
Although it blocked Stackhouse's offense, the basketball that was fanned off by Zhang Kong fell into Jones's hands, and when he got the basketball, Jones didn't say a word, and once again entered the interior line and rushed towards Zhang Kong.
"Something seems wrong?" Zhang Kong's brows furrowed slightly, but the current situation didn't allow him to think too much, seeing that Jones had already jumped, he immediately jumped from his side, and with a big wave of his hand, he blocked Eddie Jones' shot again. However, without waiting for Zhang Kong to stabilize, Jason Terry quickly stretched out his hand and cut the basketball from Gibson, who had just gotten the basketball, and then picked up the basketball and rushed to Zhang Kong again without saying a word.
Zhang Kong could only jump off the cap again.
Although "Di Di ......" blocked Jason Terry's shot, the referee did not hesitate to blow the whistle in his hand, and the gesture was obvious, Zhang Kong fouled his hand and made two free throws.
"This fucking is here to make me foul!" was hit three times in a row, and Zhang Kong immediately understood the intention of the little general Johnson, which was simply aimed at making his own foul.
"You want to beat me down?" Zhang Kong looked over to the Mavericks' bench, where Johnson sat on the bench with a calm face, and next to him sat the equally calm Nowitzki, whose expressions made it impossible to tell what they were playing.
"Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!"
Two minutes later......
With a whistle, Zhang Kong reluctantly raised his right hand, the referee's gesture was undoubtedly a foul, and Starkhouse, who had just been knocked to the ground by Zhang Kong, waved his fist fiercely.
In less than a quarter, two fouls, Mike Brown immediately replaced Zhang Kong with Drew Gooden. This is the first quarter, and if Zhang Kong continues to accumulate fouls, it will be very bad for the following games. And at this time, Johnson also had a smile on his face, and at the same time that Mike Brown replaced Zhang Kong, he also replaced Nowitzki. With the replacement of Eddie Jones, the Mavericks returned to their normal lineup.
To be honest, before the game, thinking that the Cavaliers suddenly had such a rebounding master and defensive maniac this season, Johnson grabbed a lot of his hair in order to deal with Zhang Kong. The brain-dead rhetoric of his own boss forced Johnson, who was originally going to keep a low profile, to the forefront.
This game has become a game that the Mavericks must win, otherwise it will not only be the owner Cuban who will lose face, but also damage the momentum of the Mavericks as a whole.
Fortunately, the problem is now solved.
"It's a young man, after all." Johnson smiled as he looked at the Cavaliers' bench, where he pulled a white towel over his head.
"No matter how strong your ability is, after all, you still lack some experience."
