Chapter 18 Raging the Sky
Chapter 18: Rampant the Sky
"Sure enough!"
After glanced at the technical statistics handed to him by assistant coach Carl, Lambis felt a stern and thought to himself:
So far, the Grizzlies' No. 0 has grabbed eight rebounds, and all of them are backcourt rebounds. If he remembers correctly, six of these seven goals were missed by Kevin. Is this a coincidence? Or he already has enough understanding of Kevin's shooting position.
However, at this time, the Timberwolves' offensive center of gravity changed. Kevin Love knew that Li Feng was a big trouble, so he retreated to the three-point line and led Li Feng out of the three-point line, and the basketball was handed over to El Jefferson.
But Jefferson performed well today. Love didn't have the chance to be overwhelmed in the inside. His flexible footsteps and body combination made Randolph complain. In terms of physical confrontation.
For a moment, the Grizzlies' defense seemed to have become a decoration again, and the loss of control of the inside also made Hollins look as if he had lost to the Grizzlies and returned to Memphis. At that time, maybe the fans would not let him go.
Except for Li Feng, all players have been considered by Hollins.
But Li Feng only has one, and Love also needs restrictions.
Two minutes later, the first quarter ended. Although Mayo and Guy both scored on the outside, it was just a drop in the bucket. If the Grizzlies want to win, the key lies in the defense of the inside.
In the second quarter, Li Feng was also on the bench. Li Feng's performance is worthy of recognition. At least Hollins knew that this pervert could develop into Ben Wallace.
At this time, it was a paradise for substitutes. The Grizzlies only left Guy to maintain their firepower, and the Timberwolves also left Flynn to attack the inside.
The calm second quarter ended, and the main player returned in the third quarter. The Timberwolves continued the old method. Love pulled out Marc Gasol, and El Jefferson frequently scored singles to Randolph.
Jefferson and Randolph are somewhat similar. They are both strong, flexible and accurate in shooting. The biggest style of playing at different times. Jefferson is tough and likes to rage the basket, while Randolph likes to fly kites like Walker.
When sitting off the court, Li Feng was deeply impressed by Jefferson's delicate single prints. At the same time, Li Feng also understood that relying on his height, he could not bring much defensive pressure to the opponent in front defense.
What Li Feng is most admired by aunts and Mason is not his physical fitness, but his ability to interpret competitions. He is not a simple and stereotyped machine, but a wise ferocious beast.
At this time, the situation on the court had forced Hollins to make a choice. Although he didn't want Li Feng to bear too much pressure in the first game, this was the first game and he could not lose.
"Feng, come on the court and replace Zach!"
Go on the field?!
Although it was noisy in the stadium, Li Feng was sure that he heard it correctly.
After a full second of stunnedness, Li Feng excitedly took off his coat and pants, sat in the second section, and revealed his already lonely No. 0 training suit again.
Li Feng took off his coat and did not walk to the technical table, because at this time Hollins used the opportunity to pause in his hands again. When everyone was surrounded by him, Hollins spoke:
"In defense, you should still use one defense and one defense, defend the inside line, and pay attention to your own people. Zach, after you come on the court, Jefferson will be defended by the striker! Everyone runs more on the offense..."
Therefore, for the sake of the opponent Jefferson, Li Feng adopted an extreme defensive method in the game: go around in front.
In one-on-one defense, going around in front is a very dangerous defensive method. Once the opponent successfully hangs the ball behind the opponent, the defender behind the opponent will be very passive.
In NBA games, such defense usually requires teammates to make up for themselves at any time.
Therefore, without the support of teammates, Li Feng's defensive style is extremely bold.
Thinking this would prevent me? Jefferson, who was in full swing, was very disdainful to see an unknown man taking a circumference towards him.
Zach Randolph couldn't even defend himself from getting 20+10. How could Li Feng, a guy who only fought with Kevin Love, be his opponent!
While pushing against Li Feng, he raised his right hand and asked the opponent for the ball.
When Flynn saw Jefferson reaching out for the ball, he didn't hesitate at all. Jefferson was always the core of the team and immediately hung the basketball in the direction he was in.
The ball did not fly fast, but it was very high, and the landing point was behind Li Feng, and the quality of the pass was very high.
Once Jefferson receives the basketball, all he has to do is just dunk the basketball in. Flynn, a guy who looks like he can only do it alone, is not an incompetent person.
The teammates' passing was very good, and what Jefferson thought about was to end the offense and defense with a bang after receiving the ball. No one could interrupt his performance. Zach Randolph was not good, and this parallel player was not good!
But Jefferson was really so easy to complete this attack, of course not, because at least one person would not agree, his name was: Li Feng!
Looking at the direction of the basketball flying, Li Feng jumped. In everyone's puzzled eyes, Li Feng was rising. What did he want to do? He wouldn't be planning to intercept the ball like this, right?
"This idiot! Parallel goods are parallel goods!"
When Li Feng jumped, Jefferson thought disdainfully.
The ball's parabola is very high, and Jefferson doesn't believe that Li Feng can block such a ball pass.
Once Li Feng takes off, he will even lose his last defensive opportunity. In Jefferson's opinion, Li Feng's behavior is very consistent with his rookie identity.
There are many people who have the same idea as Jefferson. Even Hollins couldn't help but frown at Li Feng's "rceptive" behavior. Hollins could even imagine that Jefferson easily completed a dunk after receiving the ball, and the Timberwolves used this to play the best picture.
However, just as Jefferson and others were confused or disdainful, Li Feng's body was rising higher and higher, and the orange basketball was getting closer and closer.
Maybe... he can really complete this interception! At some point, people suddenly felt this way in their hearts, and even Jefferson himself began to sway.
It's still a little short... I almost met... OK!
The fingertips that touched the basketball made people's previous disdain and doubtful eyes suddenly turn into surprise. He... he actually cut off the ball?!
The fans opened their mouths wide, how high do they need to jump? They watched the basketball was pulled in another direction by Li Feng.
Jefferson, who was also fantasizing about how he should use to complete the dunk, looked unbelievable. Dwight might not be able to intercept this ball, but was actually stopped by this parallel guy.
After landing, Li Feng took off again and put the basketball that had lost control into his arms.
"Hi man, here!"
When Mike Conley saw Li Feng grab the basketball, he was clever and threw away the defensive player who had been pestering him. While signaling to pass the ball to Li Feng, he quickly started.
After being shouted by Conley, Li Feng also saw the figure of his teammates. With one hand, the basketball flew towards Conley like a cannonball.
‘Fake, so powerful!’
After receiving the ball, Conley's palms numb. He didn't bother to complain about his teammate's passing during the game. He took a step and rushed to the opponent's half.
With no defense, Conley didn't waste much effort. With a lightweight basket pick, Conley easily scored two points.
Seeing that his players could open the deadlock, Hollins breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the coach's seat.
"If the forward had been put on the court earlier, the team might have won the game, right?"
For the first time, Hollins asked himself such a question in his mind. Obviously, Li Feng's performance had already touched him, although Hollins subconsciously believed that Li Feng needed to be familiar with NBA first.
