Raymond Felton is turning into a tragedy. Kobe Bryant has a firm lock on him, treating him as a turtle in the jar and suppressing him at will.
The money he spent had no effect.
His teammates couldn't help him at all.
This is probably the disadvantage of not having a superstar in charge. If Carmelo Anthony is still in Denver, he will fight against Kobe Bryant, so that Raymond can compete with Fanshie.
"damn it."
After Felton failed again, he looked at Fan Xi who was sitting on the sidelines with resentful eyes.
He didn't have the ability to deal with Kobe, and he didn't even dare to complain about a superstar like Kobe who had been famous for a long time. He only dared to put all his grievances on Fan Xi.
Fan Xi raised her head and met the resentful Felton's eyes.
Fan Xi didn't avoid it at all.
He knew that Raymond Felton was so strong that he even knocked a strong football player to the ground before his eyes.
But so what?
Fan Xi looked at him sharply.
Raymond Felton felt extremely provocative and shouted at the bench: "Cowards who hide behind others, come up and face me if you can!"
This provocation made everyone focus on Fan Xi.
If Phil Jackson allows it, Fanci will go to the court immediately.
However, the Zen master still closed his eyes at this time.
He never thought about letting Fan Xi return to the game so soon.
At this time, Kobe Bryant on the court had already come to the door. Raymond Felton quickly switched defenses with Ty Lawson. He cursed Fanshie as a coward who hides behind others. In fact, what he did was a real cowardly act.
When he reached the frontcourt, he passed the ball immediately and did not confront Kobe.
He shrunk his head and waited for Fan Xi to come on.
The first quarter ended quickly.
The Lakers led by 7 points at 35:28.
This is normal operation.
During the timeout between sessions, Fan Xi stood up, walked up to Phil Jackson and wandered around, trying to attract Phil Jackson's attention.
But the Zen master turned a blind eye, and Old Winter, the teaching assistant on the side, looked at it secretly amused, thinking that these two people were really "pretending to be reserved."
Phil Jackson still played Derek Fisher and replaced Lamar Odom with Luke Walton. He asked Kobe to control the offense on the wing, especially the tactical line with Mike Dunleavy as the end of the offense.
Jackson has begun preparations for the playoffs.
The playoffs are a truly serious battlefield.
Zen Master has great ambitions for this season. He wants to complete the fourth dynasty of his career, so all aspects must be tempered.
Beep!
The whistle blows and the game continues.
Fan Xi was still standing on the bench. Fan Xi deliberately did two stretches in front of Phil Jackson. He said to himself: "It's really strange to say that I don't have any altitude sickness at all. I can't breathe anymore."
It’s so comfortable.”
Poof!
Matt Barnes laughed out loud.
The Zen master was also biting his lower lip gently under his thick white beard, suppressing a smile.
He knew very well what Fan Xi was thinking. This guy was a natural fighting maniac. How could he tolerate Raymond Felton's provocation?
However, the Zen master really didn't want Fan Xi to go up and meet Raymond Felton.
Who is Raymond Felton? Is he worthy of being my sweetheart?
Phil Jackson thought so.
…
The Nuggets made personnel adjustments in the second quarter.
They replaced Jr. Smith and Wilt Chandler, and also replaced Gallinari, a tall Italian shooter, who was transferred from New York at the power forward position.
A team like the Nuggets without superstars is actually very democratic. There is not much difference in strength between the main force and the rotation, and whoever is better will take more shots.
In itself, tonight should be Raymond Felton’s ‘shooting night’.
However, he was targeted by Kobe Bryant.
He didn't dare to confront Kobe, so he passed the basketball quickly and decisively.
This is a style he rarely has in his career.
Therefore, when he quickly passed the basketball to his teammates, the Nuggets succeeded.
In the first round, Raymond quickly reached the frontcourt with the ball. As soon as Kobe ran over to defend him, he quickly passed the basketball to Jr. Smith.
Jr. Smith is a famous NBA player.
He had a convulsion, and the superstar was a little scared.
He received the basketball, still two meters away from the basket, and took a shot directly... This kind of shot is a great test of the head coach's heart endurance.
George Karl wanted to swear at that time.
But... ugh!
The basketball fell into the net.
jr smith had a convulsion.
The word starting with f on George Karl's lips became 'oh buy it!'.
He loudly encouraged Jr. Smith.
Jr. Smith was particularly interesting. He said to Felton: "Raymond, you are even better than Nash. I have long seen your passing talent."
He was elated.
Raymond didn't expect such a mistake.
Kobe returned to half court, and when he received the basketball from Derek Fisher, he did not choose to deal with Jr. Smith.
For him now, there are more important things than one-on-one. He wants to make the flank attack stronger and let Mike Dunleavy integrate faster.
So, he chose to pass the ball.
However, Dunleavy had just received the basketball and his shot was a little slow, and was interfered by Wilt Chandler who flew forward.
Wilt Chandler is a very tough player.
He was a bit old when he entered the league. He had been a perimeter core for the Los Angeles Clippers for a while and was a player with all-round offensive capabilities. However, because of his age, his skills in all aspects were not at the top, so he was given up and traded.
To New York.
After being traded to New York, he originally thought he could show off his talents at Madison Square Garden. His statistics under D'Antoni were very good.
However, New Yorkers are picky and want to do something big. With the arrival of Stoudemire and others one after another, his data gradually declined, and then he became an extra and was traded to Denver.
When he came to Denver, he was surrounded by players who were just like him, who were neither good enough nor low.
Therefore, he held back his anger.
But there is nothing you can do. This is the NBA, and luck also plays a big role.
Not everyone can step on the right level every step of the way like Fan Xi and seize every opportunity given by God.
Chandler took out his temper on Dunleavy.
He was upset when he saw Dunleavy.
Because he was sold out by Dunleavy Sr., Dunleavy's father.
He always blamed Dunleavy Sr. He felt that without Sr. Dunleavy, he could have had a better career, instead of not being able to start in the Nuggets now.
Dunleavy looked at Chandler's eyes that could spit out fire. He didn't know when he had offended this man.
But the game goes on.
Raymond Felton quickly passed the hot potato again, this time to Gallinari.
The Italian caught the basketball and hit another shot from beyond the three-point line.
At this time, George Karl was shocked.
Two consecutive three-pointers.
He held his head, and a terrible thought formed in his mind: Could it be that Raymond Felton had really enlightened himself?
Is he really going to be the Steph Nash of the Denver Nuggets?
