Chapter 10: I only defend!)
With 2 minutes and 50 seconds left in the first quarter, the Kings requested a timeout. At this time, the score was 21-18, and the Kings fell behind by three points at home.
"Zhang Kong, come on!" Seeing Zhang Kong who was still drinking a drink in the distance, Reggie Cias thought about it and sent him up directly. Zhang Kong didn't talk nonsense, and walked directly to the field and stood in the sg position. Joke, although his dribble is good, he asked him to play PG? He can't pass the ball! Pass 4, do you think it may be possible to pass a good ball?
Seeing Zhang Kong appearing on the court, Reggie Chias didn't say anything, and at the same time set a goal for Zhang Kong, Jason Kidd.
Kidd has scored 8 points so far, so I have to pay attention to it. He is the player with the most points on the field.
At the important beginning of the game, Mickey Moore and Brandon Bass jumped the ball, but Mickey Moore easily jumped to it. Zhang Kong's "old acquaintance" Bobby Brown scored the ball and then went straight to the opponent's basket, but when he arrived at the frontcourt, it was not right.
Why are four to five? Looking back, Zhang Kong was still walking forward slowly. Seeing this situation, Bobby Brown almost didn't come up in one breath, while the fans booed the sky, and were not satisfied with Zhang Kong and the others.
In fact, Zhang Kong is for their own good, because Zhang Kong can’t attack... He has no choice, no one wants to attack!
As a result, Francisco Garcia of the Kings missed a layup and was grabbed by Danpier. After being handed over to Kidd, Kidd immediately wanted to run for a long pass, but before he could run, a figure was already blocking him.
"Is this rookie?" Looking at the rookie who was standing in front of him, Kid couldn't help frowning. Zhang Kong's defense is very powerful. We have said that the problem of insufficient experience can also be supplemented with skills.
Kidd dribbled twice in a row, both of which were kept tightly by Zhang Kong in his half. In the end, there was no way, so he could only turn through Dan Pitt and hand it over to Jett Terry. Terry had already run near the baseline. After receiving the ball, he started to break through the Kings' defense line and ran directly to the Kings' inside line, making a layup on his back.
Seeing Terry succeed in layup, Zhang Kong just shrugged. This is not a one-on-one game. He can defend against it one-on-one, but if the opponent plays a group, he has no choice! He slowly ran back to the backcourt. At this time, the Kings had already sent the ball, and it was still Garcia, or a blacksmith... This man's mentality changed, and it would be difficult to find it back.
Kidd on the Mavericks grabbed another key rebound, but this time it was Zhang Kong who kept defending him tightly in his half. He finally squeezed into the Kings' half through the pick-and-roll. Seeing that it had been seven seconds, the rest of the Kings had already returned to the defense. Looking at this situation, Kidd also gave up on the fast break and turned the ball to Antoine Wright next to him. Originally, he meant to make a single block, throw Zhang Kong away, and then organize the attack, but Antoine Wright's head was hot. After taking the basketball, he had to shoot directly. Looking at his current shooting position, Kidd nodded.
Because of the running just now, the Kings' defensive formation has been opened up. With this space, Wright still has a chance, but unfortunately, he never noticed that the person following him was gone.
Just when Antoine Wright finally found a guard, and when the 24-foot three-pointer just took a shot, a small hand was already slapped on the basketball that had just left his palm. The huge force directly shot the basketball next to him. At this time, Bobby Brown was standing there, and after receiving the ball, he headed straight for the opponent's half. After Zhang Kong landed, he did not rush to attack, but looked at the camera next to him and became interested in the index finger. No one understood what this meant, only the younger brother of Maruf knew.
Unfortunately, Bobby Brown is not a master, and he is not as good as a three-pointer. Danpier, who was back in defense, grabbed the rebound. Seeing this situation, Reggie Chias off the court also patted his head with some headaches.
This time, Danpier did not look for Kidd, but found Terry. After Terry dribbled the ball and started attacking directly.
Because of the change of defense, Bobby Brown obviously couldn't defend Terry, and Terry didn't know whether it was his touch or his crazy touch today.
He didn't choose to break through, but chose to make a quick stop and jump shot outside the three-point line. The position was exactly the same as the position chosen by Bobby Brown just now. But at this time he did not notice that a strange figure had already flashed behind him without realizing it.
"Terry, shake Bobby Brown away, have a chance, three-pointer, hey? This is the new guy, he jumped up and blocked! Beautiful, the basketball in Terry's hand was directly covered, which can be seen through slow motion. The ball was covered very cleanly. Mickey Moore grabbed the first landing point and handed it to Bobby Brown. Bobby Brown started dribbling!" The commentator on the scene felt a little cold when he looked at this magical scene. This new guy... should have blocked for the second time in a row.
After Terry landed, he looked at Zhang Kong with some confusion. Before he was about to shoot, he clearly saw him running with Kidd. When did he run behind him? Zhang Kong naturally couldn't tell him why, it was his secret.
Unfortunately, he blocked twice in a row, but Zhang Kong's teammates were really not good. Hawyth hit the iron again and was hit by Brandon Bass' counterattack jump shot. On the other side, Bobby Jackson also stopped and jumped to counterattack. With the last moment, Terry made a very long-distance three-pointer. At the end of the first quarter, Zhang Kong's only data in the first quarter was blocked twice.
In the first quarter, 29-20, the Kings were 9 points behind at home. It was not because the Kings' defense was not strong enough. In the last three minutes, the Kings' defense was quite strong, especially at Zhang Kong's point, Kidd was substituted in the last minute, but under Zhang Kong's defense, he had only one assist, but under Zhang Kong's many blocks, the Kings actually failed to hit a counterattack. This really surprised that the Kings' offense had a considerable problem.
But this cannot be blamed for this. The Kings are good at positional offense, and no one can follow such fast attacks.
Even if Kevin Martin is there, there is no way. Martin is best at shooting, breakthroughs and so on.
With his bad physique, he had at least 30% chance of lying down directly when he rushed to the inside, so the Kings' fast break was not good at all. Bobby Brown and others did not have the awareness of fast break. Generally, they were beaten by fast breaks, and rarely they played other people's fast breaks.
"You have to play more stable, more stable!" During the rest of the first quarter, Reggie Chias kept roaring loudly.
For him, he must win this game today. If he wins, he may also regain his popularity. Otherwise, if he keeps losing like this, his job will be lost. This is something he doesn't want to see. Zhang Kong did not play at the beginning of the second quarter, but sat off the court to watch the game. I have to say that the Mavericks' level is really better than the Kings.
The game was until the end of the second quarter, and Zhang Kong did not play, and the scores of the two teams also reached 46-38. One scored 17 points in a single quarter and the other scored 18 points. Looking at such a score, the Kings still had a chance, but the score of 38 in the first half...it was still too ugly.
The fans at home are not going to boo their players, but the lively scene has faded a lot.
"We're like this in the second half..." After returning to the locker room, Reggie Chias wanted to fight again, but suddenly the phone in his pocket rang. He picked it up and saw that Reggie Chias's face changed and he quickly left the locker room.
His No. 1 assistant coach came to help these Kings players explain the next play.
About five minutes later, Reggie Chias returned to the locker room, his face was not very good-looking. He glanced at Zhang Kong who was still nestled in the corner and sighed... "Second half! Zhang Kong, starter."
