Chapter 188
Lien Feng won this game, but Kobe also played a brilliant game.
The two scored 58 points and 52 points respectively!
In particular, Lian Feng's 58 points were obtained under Kobe's strict defense! Of course, not every ball was scored in isolation, but this further illustrates the reasonableness of the team's tactical system.
In the first 20 points, when Lien and Ke were competing, they mostly scored in singles, but that might consume their energy, so later Lien integrated into the tactical system, constantly using pick-and-roll moves to create space, or mismatching to score.
Kobe had nothing to do about it.
Even if he is a top perimeter defender, just as others can't guard him, he can't block even forwards.
After the game, a reporter asked Kobe: "What do you think of Lian Feng's performance today?"
Kobe asked with a look of dissatisfaction: "Do you think I still need to answer such a question? The whole world has witnessed Lian Feng scoring 58 points on us! Sir, I believe you should know what 58 points is.
"
After Kobe calmed down a little, he also said: "But I have to say that Lien Feng is a player I like very much. His offensive ability is undoubtedly the top in the league."
Kobe's praise came from the bottom of his heart.
To be honest, Kobe himself found it incredible. Just two years ago, when Lian Feng had just entered the league, the scene of the first match between the two was still vivid in his mind.
At that time, Lian Feng was just a potential new star with great speed and good bounce. At that time, he could only break through, and his shooting and other skills were very rough. If I remember correctly, Lian Fong at that time had three consecutive goals.
The ball distribution is also very poor.
But this time, after just two seasons, he has such terrifying strength, which is really incredible.
As a player who would do his best on both offense and defense in every game, Kobe often defended his opponents' offensive leaders, so he also experienced more of the offensive methods of top attackers.
But no one gave Kobe the feeling of "that guy has an unlimited future" like Lian Feng.
On the one hand, progress is really too fast.
Two seasons may seem like a long time, but in fact it is not. Although many rookies start to break out in their third season, they often develop their original strengths because they have adapted to the NBA.
Only Lian Feng, this freak, gave Kobe the feeling that he had truly grown up!
Another change is in mentality and temperament.
Kobe clearly remembers that when he played against Lian Feng for the first time, although Lian Feng was not too nervous, the greenness in his eyes could not be concealed. He was excited, just starting out, and young and frivolous, just like when he first entered the league.
Own.
But two seasons later, Lian Feng actually had a leadership quality.
It's incredible.
That is the confidence that strength brings to him. Kobe knows that feeling very well. When his ability reaches a certain level, the team is his. The manager and boss will be polite to you and trade away the guy you hate on the team.
Then spend a lot of money to find the helper you want, and then all the rookies will call you Big Brother, and you dominate everything on the team.
At that time, there will naturally be a kind of temperament emanating from the body.
At this time, Lian Feng already had that kind of temperament.
Kobe knew that a league superstar was born.
After a pause, Kobe said in front of reporters: "There is no doubt that that kid will start a brilliant journey this season."
The reporter asked the last question: "By the way, what do you think of Bynum's foul?"
Kobe was silent for a moment, and then said: "What do you want to ask? Do you think it was an inappropriate action? What can I say about this? It has happened. But why don't we evaluate this from another angle?
thing……"
After a pause, Kobe said, "I often encounter this kind of treatment on the court, and so does Jordan. This is what you will definitely encounter when you become a superstar. Think about it from another angle, this means that your opponent is afraid of you.
Unless you take excessive actions, I can't stop you anymore. Look, I don't want to comment on whether Bynum did the right thing, but I want to affirm Lian Feng's approach."
Then, Kobe said: "This guy is very cold and unruly. Even when he was fouled several times, he would give the opponent a dismissive smile. I like his attitude."
…
Lian Feng was surrounded by his brothers and celebrated with champagne.
Lian Feng also completely let go. Although his left arm and elbow was slightly injured when Bynum made a move, it did not affect his good mood at this time.
Before the start of this season, Lian Feng was still a little worried, wondering whether his future basketball philosophy would be suitable for this season, but the facts have shown that there is no problem at all.
The tactical system, coaching, management, and lineup depth are perfect, especially since everyone is still very young. This lineup can last at least one season. It is not impossible to win the championship within these two seasons!
All worries were diluted at this moment.
Moreover, although he scored 58 points here, it was not caused by his teammates being too stretched or being too independent. At this time, he was just like the Bulls Jordan, relying on the cooperation of his teammates to get scoring opportunities.
It can be said that despite the reasons for personal ability, the concerted efforts of teammates are also very important!
In addition, the team brought another good news.
The new arena in New Orleans has also been rebuilt, and in a few weeks, the team's home court will be able to move back to its real home court.
Although there are home fans here, it is not a real home court after all.
And Adelman was completely relieved.
Owner George Sheehan was even more excited because of Lian Feng's incredible performance. Whether it was ESPN or TNT, all major channels were broadcasting the highlights of the game between Lian Feng and Kobe Bryant.
Fans who like Kobe will find it hard not to like him after seeing Lian Feng's performance with the same extreme personal heroism.
The news of the two's rivalry also quickly filled the headlines of the sports news section.
These overwhelming reports have naturally brought an unprecedented increase in the attention of the Hornets. Just like James has brought a huge amount of attention to a small Cleveland, Lien has also brought a lot of attention to this team that has been difficult to make profits in previous years.
Unprecedented attention.
What's more, Lian Feng is still Chinese, and George Sheen basically copied the Rockets' successful path with Yao Ming, causing the Hornets' market value to almost quadruple!
What boss wouldn’t like such a star?
It can be said that as long as Lian Feng is willing, George Sheehan can even give him his lover!
Then, just after the battle between the Lakers and the Hornets, Lian Feng started a terrifying scoring performance.
I have to say that this tactical system is really suitable for the rules at this time.
Without the hc rule, if space is created, Lian Feng is basically invincible.
Moreover, there are so many firepower points on the ball that they are not afraid of double teams at all. Even if the double team tactics were used to limit the forwards in the first two quarters, Paul, David West, and Korver in the team would immediately step forward and constantly use double teams.
Lian forward creates space to punish the opponent.
So the opponent had to continue to maintain the same defense, so Lien Feng naturally took over the game.
The Hornets have won seven games in a row and are ranked first in the Western Conference.
Among them, Lian Feng scored more than 40 points in 4 games. In addition to the game against the Lakers, he also scored 50 points in a game against the Bobcats. He averaged 40 points per game this season, ranking first in the scoring list.
one!
The eighth game is the Hornets' last game in Oklahoma City. After this game, they will move back to New Orleans.
They also ushered in their first tough guy besides the Lakers.
The Cavaliers with little Emperor James.
