Chapter 34: Weaknesses

PS. Five hundred recommended plus more, brothers rise.

"Oh, it's a foul, the Mavericks are so tasteless." Seeing the reaction of the Mavericks after Zhang Kong left the game, Barkley on the commentator immediately reacted: "I really underestimated the thickness of the cow's face to use this method against a rookie." ”

"But it works, doesn't it?" Kenny Smith habitually contradicts: "He's gone." ”

"So what, do you know what that proves, Kenny?" Barkley said with a disdainful face: "They are afraid of this kid, afraid of his defense on the inside, they can't find a way to break through this kid's defensive circle, so they can only use this means to make Zhang Kong unable to play." ”

Sitting on the bench, Zhang Kong was also very depressed. This is the first time that he has not been able to play because of too many fouls. He used to hate this feeling when he played the game.

If there is any shortcoming of Zhang Kong, who has obtained the world's top basketball ability out of thin air, then there is no doubt that in addition to Zhang Kong's own laziness in offense, this shortcoming can only be experience. The real experience on the basketball court is not something that can be played by playing games, because the procedures of the game are fixed, and there are only a few tactics, not to mention that the difficulty of Zhang Kong's constant play is not high, and the variability of tactics is not strong.

Experience is something that can't be exercised in a short period of time. It's a close match, something that can only be gained by accumulating a game of ambition to win. It is an experience that can only be achieved when you have to make a change when you are forced to have no choice, and it is a kind of thinking that can only be achieved when you are in danger and can only leap forward by breaking the usual thinking conventions.

So now Zhang Kong, with the NBA's strongest physical fitness, the strongest basketball ability, but also has the NBA's least most pitiful experience, in terms of experience, he is not even as good as those college basketball players, at least they went to college, entered the school team, and received professional basketball skills and tactics training, even if they are a little dull, but they will have some experience. Not to mention that the annual NCAA league is a place for these college players to accumulate experience and improve their abilities.

It is often said that high school players who enter the league early will die because of immaturity, the most typical example is the parallel champion Kwame Brown, who has not yet reached the heights he deserves, and no one denies that Kwame Brown is a very hard player, otherwise he would not be what he is today, but ......

If you talk about immaturity, Zhang Kong is almost completely mature in terms of technology, and in terms of mentality, an 'old man' who is close to thirty is not the kind of fiery temper, but also lives in the Celestial Empire with light and dust, and he is very mature. But in terms of game experience, Zhang Kong is almost a blank slate.

The only game experience he had before he came to 2007 was basketball for a while in high school, when he was barely even dribbling, let alone technically and tactically.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 25-23, and the Cavaliers' earlier lead was wiped out in just a few minutes.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhang Kong once again put on the battle.

This time, Nowitzki did not go off the court at all, but became one of the executors of the on-court lethal tactics, and he no longer tried to dodge Zhang Kong's defense, but constantly made feints to try to seduce Zhang Kong for fouls.

He did it......

Syllable......

When Zhang Kong's hand hit Nowitzki's hand, Zhang Kong's heart cooled, and sure enough, the referee blew the whistle without hesitation, and for the third foul, Zhang Kong was replaced by Mike Brown again.

Without Zhang Kong's inside line, Drew Gooden obviously can't make up for the vacancy left by Zhang Kong, and there is no way to stop Nowitzki's play, Novitzki in this time period can be said to be a god blocking and killing Buddha, and in the offensive end, the high jump shot is like playing, and Drew Gooden is dizzy.

Ilgoskas was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do, his movement was too slow, and if he went to defend Nowitzki, Nowitzki's agile footwork that could compete with defenders could easily shake him over, and when the time came, whether it was a layup or a mid-range projection, it would be a breeze for a player of Nowitzki's level. And if you wrap up, a player like Nowitzki who can withdraw the inside line is definitely the favorite partner of the breakout, not to mention that Nowitzki also has a strong ability to respond to high positions, which cannot be reflected in the game, because this is not an ability that can be reflected in passing data, it is the product of a mixture of experience, technology, and wisdom.

In the second quarter, James tried to step up and take over the game, but there was a serious problem with his hand, and the score gap between the two teams widened when the offensive end was unable to achieve results in a row.

In the third quarter, Zhang Kong played again, this time he stayed on the court for five minutes, scoring five points, seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks, and at this rate, Zhang Kong's efficiency was really the highest on the court. But five minutes later, Zhang Kong received two more fouls, and Mike Brown had to replace Zhang Kong again!

In the fourth quarter, Zhang Kong, who was once again on the court, received his sixth foul again in less than six minutes, and he scored 17 points, 18 rebounds, four assists, and two blocks after leaving the court with six fouls. Judging from the data, no one can say anything about the nearly 20+20 data, especially since such data is obtained in less than thirty minutes.

But because he couldn't play in the last half of the quarter, the Cavaliers' interior line completely fell, Ilgoskas was too slow, and Drew Gooden may have been unable to find form because of the long incident and no official game, and the Cavaliers' interior line became the back garden of the Mavericks to break up and play their breakthrough strengths.

In the end, the game ended in a series of iron from the Cavaliers, and Nowitzki scored a game-high 33 points to lead the Mavericks to the first preseason win with a 106-96, 10-point advantage.

After the game, many media who paid more attention to the game commented one after another, and invariably put the responsibility for the Cavaliers' final loss on Zhang Kong's head.

They generally believe that it is precisely because Zhang Kong is plagued by fouls and cannot play at the most critical moment that the Cavaliers' backair defense will give the Mavericks an opportunity to break through the cluster.

Although the Cavaliers then won three consecutive victories, losing to the Knicks, Suns and Warriors in a row, Zhang Kong's doubts have not decreased, but have become more and more intense, because in these four games, Zhang Kong also started, but all of them left the court with six fouls after the fourth quarter.

"Super Rookie Gets Into Foul Trouble and Leaves the Game with Six Fouls in Four Consecutive Games"

Is He God or the Devil? 》

"15+20+5 per game, super all-round data can't hide the embarrassment of six crimes"

Columnist Bill Simmons, who has been at odds with Zhang Kong from the beginning, wrote directly in his column: "Now it can be proved that he (Zhang Kong) is not as mature as everyone thinks, no matter how good a player usually performs, but when it comes to a critical moment, there is no way to help the team, such a player is unqualified." I think it was a complete mistake for Mike Brown to choose him to start in place of Drew Gooden. Look at Drew Gooden, he's started to play more minutes during this period and he's been doing pretty well. ”

"Damn it!" Zhang Kong tore off the newspaper in his hand in annoyance, and his heart was full of depression. He has been trying to control the number of fouls he has been playing, but in these few games, those guys are like crazy and hit themselves, no matter how careful Zhang Kong is, he can't avoid fouls in the end, but because he is too careful, his own play has been affected a little, and the blocking data has dropped to an average of three per game, and the posture will continue to fall.

"Don't care too much about what the media says, Zhang. We can't do without the media, but if we all focus on the media, we won't be able to play. Without looking at the newspaper that Zhang Kong tore up, James shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've encountered something like this, I've survived, and I'm sure you can too." ”

"But I'm distressed, LeBron." Zhang Kong frowned and said, "I'm trying to reduce the number of fouls I have, but...... As you can see, it doesn't work out very well. ”

"Of course, even if God gives you the best talent in the world, experience is such a thing, after all, it still needs to be built up by overnight accumulation." James smiled and said, "I've been to see Ilgoskas when I came, and he gave you two suggestions, do you want to listen to them?" ”

"Suggestions?" Zhang Kong became interested: "Tell me about it." ”

"Huh. The first way is to do it like O'Neal, Patrick Ewing. James said: "Give them a foul when they try to make you foul, so that they can't get up for half a day, or even go to the hospital for two months." So when they want to make you foul again, they will be afraid, they will think about it, they will be cautious. ”

"I don't want to do it this way, LeBron." Zhang Kong frowned, he likes basketball, he loves basketball, it is precisely because of his love for basketball that he will indulge in the virtual NBA2k12 when there is no chance to play, and this kind of intentional injury is what Zhang Kong hates the most.

Like his unrestrained aversion to Bruce Bowen.

Although, from a team perspective, Bruce Bowen was a respectable victim of everything he did for the team's victory. But Zhang Kong still hates him, and he doesn't want to be like Bruce Bowen.

"Then there's no way." It seemed that Zhang Kong's answer had long been known, and James said unsurprisingly: "Then if you want to avoid fouls, you can only rely on experience." You must also understand that in the NBA, the definition between foul and non-foul has always been a bit blurred, mainly relying on the referee's whistle and his own mastery. I can't teach you this, no one can teach you, you have to rely on yourself to understand. If you want, I'll tell Mike, you're still going to start the next game, and no matter how many fouls you take, Mike won't replace you until you've got six fouls. You can feel the referee's whistle change for yourself. ”

"Okay, I see." Zhang Kong nodded: "This is the best." By the way, why don't you go have a bite to eat later, I found a nice Chinese restaurant yesterday. ”

"Forget it." Shaking his head with a smile, LeBron said, "I'm going back to accompany Severina." ”

Sevina is James's girlfriend, although not married, but the two already have two children, the eldest LeBron James II was born on October 6, 2004, and the youngest son Blake Maximus James was born in June this year and is now only four months old.

Speaking of which, James can also be regarded as a representative of the Cavaliers' Mr. Yes. Although he has only been here for more than a month, during this time, whether he is playing at home or away, Zhang Kong has never seen James go to a nightclub to spend money before or after the game. Even if it's an away game, it's just a matter of staying in the hotel and playing games or playing poker with two people. Zhang Kong also played two hands with him, and Zhang Kong, who had bad card skills, had nothing to say.

After only playing once, James never looked for an empty big card again.

On the contrary, Ilgoskas, who has always been known as Mr. Yes, is a regular at Cleveland's nightclubs, but he doesn't bring Zhang Kong with him every time, and he doesn't even allow anyone else to do so.

In his words, he was afraid that the nightclub would affect Zhang Kong's state.

But about himself, he hehe...... Zhang Kong has always been very resentful of this.

This can only be said to be a person who cannot be disfigured.
