The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 128 The Box-1 Tactic is Present! ! "Tough" Artest!

With 6:38 left in the fourth quarter,
The two sides fought to a 94:94 tie.

The Kings tied the score!

Zhang Bolong's shoulders, arms and back were being attacked by bursts of pain.

Whenever he hits the paint, what awaits him is either an overwhelming head-on block or a vicious foul at any cost.

ESPN even broadcast highlights of Zhang Bolong being fouled during the game.

But this did not stop him from moving forward.

Walking towards the Tiger Mountain without precedent, clearing the clouds and mist to see the light.

38 points, 12 rebounds, 14 assists, 10 three-pointers!

All three statistics are the highest in this field!
Before the referee blew the whistle to "hand in the paper", he had already completed such an excellent answer.

However, the distance from perfection is still short of the final victory.

In the past few minutes, Turiaf, Foyle and Jackson have missed shots.

If it weren't for Jaskovicius' breakthrough and scoring, only Zhang Bolong could score in sports for the Warriors in the past few minutes.

However, after he hit two consecutive three-pointers, Artest's restraint for a while gradually became out of control.

A defensive elbow swing, in addition to allowing him to receive his fourth personal foul, was also warned by the referee.

If it is committed again, it will be the end of a flagrant foul.

It's just that Artest doesn't seem like he cares.

In this era, as the core and leader of a team, you have to face the omnipotent "entertainment" of the opponent's top defensive players.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Zhang Bolong has experienced the "tough defense" that those thick and thin fans in his previous life said.

It was also the first time he really opened fire, carrying the entire team on his shoulders and moving forward.

Jackson served the ball to Zhang Bolong, who slowly dribbled the ball across the half court, and used Harrington's pick-and-roll to roll down in Artest's press.

"Andris!"

He yelled at Biedrins, pretending to complete a cooperation with him, but he tricked Miller back half a step.

With this momentary opportunity, Zhang Bolong made a low-handed layup after jumping directly——

"Oh!"

Francisco Garcia!

A chase, he blocked Zhang Bolong's layup out of bounds!
This sophomore with a wingspan of 210 cm once sent five blocks in a single game in his rookie season!
Today, he once again proved himself in front of the home fans, proud of this underestimated team!
So what if you are the "Big Dipper"?Even if your jade plate is nine days away, today I will come out with "Tiangou Swallowing the Moon"!
So far, the fans of Arco Arena have finally been impressed by such an indomitable and tenacious home team.

It's been a long time since they've seen the Kings like this.

The fans began to cheer loudly, sending their own cheer and encouragement to the Kings players.

The faces of every player of the Kings team are full of confidence.

In the next second, their expressions suddenly changed.

The defensive players immersed in Garcia's domineering blocks did not closely follow the running Zhang Bolong.

When they reacted, Zhang Bolong had already gone beyond the three-point line.

Aim, take off, shoot the basket.

Standard posture, perfect shot, chic landing.

The ball goes in.

As calm as an assassin, as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeps fallen leaves.

"Eleven three-pointers! Xiaolong is only one goal away from the NBA single-game three-pointer record jointly held by Kobe and Marshall!"

Yu Jia also called out,
"Let us wait and see if Xiaolong can have a chance to tie or even break this record!"

Zhang Bolong's performance did not break the confidence of the Sacramento people, but made the Kings players more and more courageous.

With Miller and Artest breaking through one after another to complete layups, the scores of the two teams came and went, leading alternately.

With 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the game has reached a fever pitch.

The news that Zhang Bolong has hit 11 three-pointers has also spread on TV and the Internet.

Countless viewers and netizens have found the live broadcast of this game, looking forward to witnessing the birth of history with their own eyes.

Whenever Zhang Bolong got the basketball, those eyes would focus on his hands, as if his next shot would definitely hit.

In his bright and determined eyes, only the appearance of the basket is reflected.

However, how could the Kings players, who were meant to prove themselves, allow Zhang Bolong to complete this great record on top of him?
After the timeout, under the arrangement of head coach Musselman, the Kings' tactics changed significantly.

"Kings, this position has a lot of loopholes..." In the CCTV commentary seat, Director Sun was at a loss, "Why is Rahim still looking left and right? If you don't concentrate on defense, you will suffer."

On the contrary, in the studio of TNT, Kenny Smith and others all looked shocked.

"This is! Oh my god! They actually used Box-1 tactics against the dragon!?"

"I never thought that I would see such a, um, strange tactic in the NBA." Barkley touched his bald head, "Even Michael back then, I don't remember him being treated like this !"

Box-1 tactics refer to the tactic of using one person to keep an eye on the opponent's shooter or other key targets in a basketball game, and the other four people to defend the area. They would rather leave other players empty than double-team the opponent's core players at any time.

This kind of tactic is generally seen in middle school or even elementary school basketball games, but it is difficult to see in the NBA.

Because at the level of the NBA, if you short any player, you may be hit back by the opponent.

Therefore, when a team puts such a tactic on the stage, it generally needs to meet two elements.

First, one of the opponent's players is too strong.

Second, other than this player, the opponent is too good.

Are the Warriors' players dishes?of course not.

But in order to completely restrict Zhang Bolong, the Kings no longer care about the performance of other Warriors.

At this moment, no matter how the Warriors pick and roll, Zhang Bolong always faces two or more double-teamers who are ready to go.

Zhang Bolong didn't go up, he passed the ball without hesitation, but Richardson's half-open three-pointer missed.

The King counterattacked with the ball, and Artest rushed forward like a mad cow.

On the Warriors' side, Zhang Bolong took the lead to return to the defense, and stood one step ahead of Artest's only way.

As long as Artest knocks him down, it will definitely be an offensive foul.

He felt that Artest would hesitate, or even pass the ball again.

What he didn't expect was that instead of slowing down, Artest jumped up directly, propping up his knees.

"Oh!"

The whistle for an offensive foul sounded,
Zhang Bolong and Artest fell to the ground at the same time.

"Huh...huh..."

Zhang Bolong lay on the floor, frowning tightly.

In the chest cavity, the feeling of vomiting kept coming.

The viscera seemed to be displaced by Artest's knee.

The insults from teammates, the shouts from the team doctor, and the concerns of old Nelson rang in my ears one by one.

And an unapologetic voice,

"Maybe I should be sorry, but that's just how tough I am."

　Only to find out that today is Chairman Yao's birthday,
　　Happy Birthday Dayao forever!
