Chapter forty-ninth: the way that is not the way

The Kings' shooting feel dropped sharply in this quarter, with only four goals scored in total, and the other fourteen points were all obtained from free throws. In the last three minutes, Prince and Starkey joined forces to win the team's last eight points, while the Pistons accumulated a seven-point advantage for the battle in the last quarter, entering the last quarter with 73-66. With such a score, the winner has not been decided yet!

The Kings are a weak team, and their only variable is a guy named Zhang Kong! This is what the Pistons head coach said to his players during the halftime break, as long as Zhang Kong is pulled apart, it is not impossible to fight four against four.

Zhang Kong's league weakness has been seen through by the Pistons and has been fully utilized. In fact, when playing against the Spurs, Zhang Kong should have noticed his weakness, but he didn't care at that time. Now it seems that this weakness has been infinitely amplified, and he doesn't know what to do now. He will never give up on Iverson's running position.

But if you go to guard against Iverson yourself, the team will be in danger... Looking at the situation on the court, Zhang Kongxin was also very anxious, and after the Pistons' rest time of 130 seconds, they were still pulling the scores of the two teams.

With the last 7 minutes left in the game, Starkey made another mid-range shot, and the Pistons widened the scores of the two teams to 10 points, 83-73, and the situation on the Kings is becoming more and more hopeful... However, at this critical moment, the veterans in the Kings began to show their power.

Miller and Bobby Jackson set off an offensive climax. First, Miller made a jump shot from 13 feet away. Bobby Jackson took advantage of Miller to attract double-teaming in the inside and received a mid-range shot from Salmons. Miller forced Mark Hill after receiving Martin's pass from the inside. Then Kevin Martin hit the board 7 feet away from the rebound.

With Bobby Jackson's three-pointer, the Kings successfully narrowed the score to 86-89, only three points away!

However, at this time, the Kings once again exposed their defensive problems, and Starkey began to break through!

With 2 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, Stace dribbled the ball and broke through in one-stop! For the young man, Stucky.

The potential has been proven. Even if you can't become a superstar in the future, you can become a star player.

After all, he is the real core of the Pistons now. This guy's physical condition is no worse than Ross, and he is also a super newcomer.

After Drifting the ball, Starki directly broke through and made a layup, scoring the key two points, and widened the scores of the two teams to 5 points again.

Bobby Brown missed the three-pointer, Amir Johnson grabbed the defensive rebound, and then directly found Starkey.

At this time, the team's No. 1 position was defending Stucky. Bobby Brown was on the bench, but Bobby Brown was not Stucky at all. After being easily shaken by Stas, he was directly knocked on the court. Stas could drive straight into the inside hinterland of the Kings! Just as Stas was about to make a layup in front of Miller, a small hand appeared on the other side of Stas... "Bang!" Hearing this crisp sound, the Kings players were shocked.

"Zhang Kong!" DJ at home also looked at the block in surprise. Zhang Kong actually abandoned Iverson and ran over to help defend Starkey.

Without expecting it, Starkey was pushed to the ground by Zhang Kong, and Martin from the distance picked up the basketball. After rushing to the frontcourt, he made a beautiful dunk. However, looking at his visiting team, he was really afraid that the kid would be injured again.

"Hiss! Why did this guy give up defending Iverson?" The Pistons head coach and Iverson were in a quarrel. This matter was almost personal. Now he used Iverson as a pillar that attracted firepower, which was also his intentional way to deal with Iverson.

But if Zhang Kong no longer defends Iverson and becomes a blocking machine moving around, wouldn't Iverson come alive? The Pistons head coach meant to use Iverson as an abandoned son to attract Zhang Kong's defense.

Then he used his other four favorites to capture the Kings' city. His idea was correct.

And he has been successfully running for nearly half a game, but unfortunately, Zhang Kong has figured it out now.

Although Zhang Kong's purpose of coming to the Kings is money, he doesn't like losing, especially when facing a team with equally poor record. As long as he plays, he has to strive to win. This is the meaning of Zhang Kong's existence!

Zhang Kong, who had thought of a solution for the time being, has not completely abandoned Iverson to defend alone, but has expanded his defensive space to his limit. Now he would rather make himself tired than increase the Kings' defensive intensity.

Looking at Zhang Kong's changes, the Kings' defensive strength has indeed increased instantly. The position where Zhang Kong stood has become a no-fly zone. No matter who it is, he will not be idle to find Zhang Kong to break through.

Although the Pistons have made many breakthroughs, the quality has obviously decreased a lot. Zhang Kong's deterrence has gradually taken shape in the NBA field. Although this powerful defensive concept has not been understood by everyone, Zhang Kong at least feels comfortable in defense! Feeling his confidence return, a smile gradually appeared on Zhang Kong's face.

Perhaps because of Zhang Kong's defensive aura, the Pistons would deliberately see if Zhang Kong was by their side when attacking, so that the rhythm would be disrupted instantly. The Pistons' head coach thought for a long time, and the final solution was to let someone pass the ball to Iverson's hands and let Iverson disrupt Zhang Kong's defensive formation.

However, Iverson, who has been shown by the coach on the sidelines for nearly half, has no sense of touch. In addition, Zhang Kong is not far from him. As long as he catches the ball, Zhang Kong can arrive at him immediately. Although the defense is not as sharp as close-fitting defense, it can also cause certain troubles to Iverson. If he faces the same Iverson as he was back then.

Such a defense is almost impossible to defend against him, but now Iverson is obviously older. After three times of iron, Iverson also deliberately reduced his shots, and Zhang Kong and Iverson seem to have a "tactic understanding".

Iverson didn't shoot if he had the ball, and Zhang Kong could defend other players with a guard. The Pistons' original lead was instantly recovered by the Kings with the help of Iverson, the "undercover"!

However, the Pistons still have some background. At the critical moment, Prince and Starkey took on the offensive banner of the Pistons.

Two players started offensive round after round... At the last moment of the game, the score on the field was 98-99, and the Kings fell behind the Pistons and made a point! Bobby Jackson missed the layup! After Miller grabbed the frontcourt rebound, he hooked and made a blacksmith again. Miller grabbed the frontcourt rebound and passed it to Salmons. Salmons also missed the three-pointer, and Miller grabbed the frontcourt rebound again.

At this moment, Miller had already recovered three rebounds, and there were only less than ten seconds left before the end of the game. Miller glanced at Martin outside, and everyone bet on Martin at this time.

After Martin received the rebound, he glanced and took a relaxed move. "Bang!" Hearing this muffled sound, he knew that the rebound hit the basket's neck heavily and bounced out. At this time, the basketball fell into Zhang Kong's hand who had just run to the basket.

"Zhang Kong grabbed the frontcourt rebound! Dangerous!" Seeing Zhang Kong standing under the basket with a surprised look on his face, the commentators on the scene were almost crazy. At such a critical moment, how could the opponent grab four frontcourt rebounds in a row?

"Let's take action!" Miller looked at Zhang Kong and shouted loudly, while Salmons, Martin and Bobby Jackson in the distance were all looking at Zhang Kong. Their eyes were very clear, take action! There is no time to hesitate now.

But what Zhang Kong is thinking about now is his own data, shooting under the basket...10... How dare he take action with such data?

Seeing Prince beside him being viciously guarded, Zhang Kong's surroundings instantly became very quiet, and everyone's movements became slow motion. At this time, he had to make a choice and do it himself! Or, lose...
