Pelicans’ offense.

This time Anthony Davis tried again to challenge Zhang Tao inside, although it was not covered, but his awkward layup posture made the Pelicans’ offense once again fruitless, which is the credit of Zhang Tao’s single defense.

The rebound was obtained by Bogdan this time, and as soon as Bogdan passed to Hield, Hild made a quick layup.

41 to 25

“Davis has a hard time taking advantage of the inside, and he should try to break the defense from mid-range.”

Seeing Davis’ tragic situation, even Barkley couldn’t help but come up with ideas for Davis.

The home team fans have been constantly trying to interfere with Zhang Tao’s defense and attack with boos, but it seems to be useless, Zhang Tao is still the same domineering as in the first quarter.

Zhang Tao continued to limit the Pelicans’ interior offense at the beginning of the second quarter, allowing the game to gradually tilt in favor of the Kings.

The Pelicans are a team that has always relied heavily on the inside, and if they can’t play inside, it’s only a matter of time before they lose.

Gentry hesitated for a moment but still requested a timeout.

“How? Have you calmed down? Gentry asked Cousins.

Asik has almost no role on it, he can’t play Zhang Tao on the offensive end, and he can’t help Davis on the defensive end.

“Well, try it on the pinch.” Cousins sighed.

Zhang Tao’s strength was beyond his expectations, and neither he nor Davis could restrain him alone.

The only thing to do is try to pinch him on the inside.

Gentry expressed helplessness.

Watching the inner line that I have always been proud of being so destroyed on the sidelines is really uncomfortable.

Gentry understands why when the head coaches of other teams meet him, he always expresses his envy that he has such a strong interior line, and he now envies that Jogel has a Zhang Tao, and it is not good to change who encounters the inside line to be exploded like this.

“Don’t let him go low single, he will pinch as soon as he holds the ball and force him to get out of the ball.” As a last resort, Gentry used her last resort to wrap Zhang Tao.

After giving Zhang Tao a pinch, Zhang Tao did not have so many opportunities, and Jorgel also replaced Zhang Tao and let him rest for a while, but the King’s momentum has been brought up by Zhang Tao, and Hield and Bogdan hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside, which aborted the Pelicans’ point chasing plan in the second quarter.

At halftime, the score was 65-48, and the Kings still led by 17 points on the road.

Zhang Tao played 16 minutes in the first half, scored 22 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks, once again becoming the hero of the first-half lead.

“The King’s newly signed centre-forward Zhang Tao played very well, and I think after this game, Divac should have turned him right, otherwise this guy will be unhappy.”

“Haha, I think there will probably be 29 teams that expect the King not to correct him and cut him, of course, as long as he is not a fool, the King will immediately coax this potential newcomer, maybe even change his contract, he is worth far more than $700,000.”

“Charles, how much do you think he’s worth?”

“With an annual salary of more than ten million, the king has taken advantage of it.”

During halftime, Barkley talked to Smith about Zhang’s contract.

Home team dressing room.

The Pelicans Twin Towers have never been so quiet, and neither Davis nor Cousins is in the mood for a joke.

Gentry also pulled over a tactical board with Zhang Tao’s jersey number 66 written on it, and Gentry needed to discuss with all the coaching staff how to limit Zhang’s problem.

The King’s outside firepower is fierce, and if Zhang Tao is wrapped again, then as long as he passes the ball, there will be a bunch of empty slots outside.

The Pelicans’ defense will be more difficult.

And if Zhang Tao is not restricted, then he will continue to hammer the Pelicans’ inside line.

“I think it’s better to defend him alone, let him play our inside alone, and then try to stop him from connecting with other teammates.”

“He faced Cousins and Davis, and he couldn’t attack every time!”

“Keep letting him single, even if he cuts high points, but we will have a chance to reverse.”

An assistant coach suggested.

After pondering for a long time, Gentry decided to take this opinion.
