"Derek, we need you. If you do this, you will definitely be expelled. Think about Greg, think about why we are fighting until now, and think about our goal." Chen Feng almost shouted in his ear.
Chen Feng was surprised and very moved that Derek Favors was so angry because of his comfort. However, he also knew that once he let go, the consequences would become more serious. In the past two years, the league has been very strict with violence on the court.
The penalties are severe.
Perhaps Chen Feng's words played an important role. Derrick Favors's struggling movements became smaller and smaller, and he finally lowered his clenched fists.
The referee had already rushed over. Looking at Derek Favors's actions, he was also worried about the escalation of the incident. Finally, Chen Feng resolved it. As a result, his favorable impression of Chen Feng suddenly increased. Even when he was under such a serious threat, he still
It is very rare for a player to maintain such a calm attitude and try his best to prevent the incident from escalating.
You must know that one of the most difficult people in the league is the man wearing the No. 1 jersey in front of him. However, it seems that this Chinese boy has no intention of making things difficult for him, which makes the referee relieved.
"Dip", the referee made the decision without any hesitation and gave Parsons a technical foul.
**Vicci quickly called a timeout. The incident just happened so suddenly that he had no time to stop it. Fortunately, the situation did not turn out as he was worried about, but he still decisively called a timeout. Regarding Chen Feng's situation
, he was still very worried.
"Wow", the commotion just now did not affect Chen Feng's free throws.
98:104, the Spurs are only 6 points behind.
There are now two minutes and thirty-two seconds left before the end of the game, and the Spurs have every hope of overturning their defeat.
The Rockets' attack was fruitless, and Chen Feng took advantage of the chaos to grab a defensive rebound and then sprinted towards the Rockets half court.
"Whoa", Chen Feng hit a layup, once again helping the Spurs recover two points.
100:104, four points, only four points behind.
The Spurs fans at the scene immediately cheered loudly for their team and gave the players their warmest support. However, their voices of support were soon drowned out by the home fans.
Jeremy Lin finally showed the value of a starting-level point guard. After he rushed into the Spurs penalty area, he did not force the shot recklessly, but made a behind-the-back pass to Chandler from the top of the arc -
In the hands of Parsons, the latter shot up directly from the three-point line.
With a "swish" sound, Jeremy Lin's pass turned into an assist.
Chandler Parsons' previous flagrant foul made the referee pay attention, and the penalty scale seemed to be a little tilted.
Chen Feng broke through with the ball and entered the three-point line. Chandler Parsons tried to steal the ball but was called a defensive foul by the referee, giving Chen Feng another free throw opportunity.
McHale had no choice but to call a timeout. There was only one minute and 43 seconds left in the game. Chen Feng's previous three-pointer made the Spurs only four points behind at 103:107. If Chen Feng had done this
Two free throws were made, and the Rockets' lead was only two points.
In the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, defense became the main theme of the game, and the shooting percentages of both sides became very low. Even Chen Feng, under the care of his opponents, was not very high, at least not as high as usual.
.
**Vicci's face became very serious. When the competition reached this level, his physical strength was almost reaching its limit. The rest may be a mental confrontation, and the persistence of victory determines the final winner.
His body was trembling and his mind was a little groggy. The massage by the staff could not eliminate the physical fatigue at all. Chen Feng even slumped in the chair without wanting to move.
This game was a high-quality game. Both sides gave almost everything they had. What determines the outcome now is the will and persistence of both sides to win.
Duncan is a bit of a defender. If he didn't insist on letting Chen Feng stay on the court, and let Parker and Ginobili rotate earlier, the game would not be like this! But it's too late to say this now!
"Whoa, whoa", even though he was running out of energy, Chen Feng still made these two crucial free throws.
105:107, two points left.
When the Rockets served from the baseline, Jeremy Lin and James Harden relied on their speed to fly in the Spurs' half, causing the Spurs' defensive players to focus on one thing and the other.
However, they did not dare to be careless at all. In order to maintain their weak advantage, the Spurs have shown unprecedented determination on defense.
It is said that several of the Spurs' main players have played at least twenty-five minutes, and their tired looks are clearly visible on their faces. However, looking at their actions on defense, they don't seem to be affected at all. Jeremy Lin, James Ha
They rushed around the half court, constantly attacking the basket, picking and rolling each other, and crossing each other, but Chen Feng and Leonard were like their shadows, always arriving at the first opportunity.
Seeing time passing by, Chandler Parsons had no choice but to quickly hand the ball to Jones in the frontcourt. Unfortunately, Jones was only near the free throw line at this time, and Duncan was still beside him, so his offensive power was incredible.
He knew that he was blindly attacking the basket, but Derrick Favors naturally wouldn't give him a chance. He pressed his right elbow tightly against Jones' ribs and used his rich experience to feel the changes and shaking of Jones' body.
direction, resolving Jones' fake moves time and time again.
Big beads of sweat fell from Jones' forehead to the floor. His expression looked very anxious, and his eyes showed a scattered look.
At the truly critical moment, Jones's mental endurance is not that strong.
James Harden took advantage of Jones' screen and quickly penetrated from his side into the paint.
Jones was overjoyed. The ball was gently lifted behind Derrick Favors. James Harden, who walked into the three-second zone, received the ball just in time. Facing the basket defended by Tim Duncan, a
He turned around in the air to close the defense and succeeded in picking up the basket.
"Beep", the referee's whistle suddenly sounded. Everyone was baffled by this whistle. James Harden's movements were very relaxed, and there was no contact with Duncan at all.
Facing everyone's confused looks, the referee signaled Duncan to defend for three seconds.
Regarding the penalties in the playoffs, the three referees have a very strict grasp of the penalty scale, and there will be no obvious loopholes in any penalty.
Through the on-site video, it was indeed true that when James Harden rushed to the basket, his feet had already stepped into the three-second zone. He never took a step until James Harden took the ball.
The score was calculated, a penalty shot was added, and the result was 2+1, which made the Spurs fans extremely frustrated.
James Harden's free throws made matters worse. With one minute and eighteen seconds left in the game, the Rockets used free throws to expand the score.
At this time, the coaches of both sides only have one timeout left. **Vicci cherishes this timeout very much, and the five players on the court at this time are already his greatest hope. Naturally, McHale will not do this.
The timeout was cheap for the Spurs.
Chen Feng controlled the ball and quickly appeared outside the three-point line, and the Rockets players suddenly became nervous.
After these three games, Chandler Parsons' defensive role in restricting Chen Feng became smaller and smaller, which forced McHale to use three outside players to take turns defending him.
He also used double-team tactics most of the time in the game, but this seemed to stimulate his performance**. Accurate hits and exquisite passes made the Rockets defense suffer humiliation time and time again.
.
Maybe this is Chen Feng's immaturity, but this is also where this Chinese guy can attract attention! In times of difficulty, this guy can really be a bit of a "lone wolf" sometimes!
33 points is Chen Feng’s score so far. For such a dangerous player, the Rockets naturally cannot let him move around in their own half.
In addition to Chandler Parsons, who kept interfering in front of him, Jeremy Lin also quickly stepped up and formed a double-team on Chen Feng, leaving only a narrow gap in the middle, not to mention such a narrow gap.
Chen Feng simply couldn't pass through. Even if he successfully squeezed the two of them away, James Harden, who was waiting on the other side, would quickly appear in front of him.
"Derek..." Chen Feng's body suddenly rose up, and the roar in his mouth shocked the Rockets defensive players. Is this guy going to pass the ball?
Chen Feng unexpectedly stabilized the rising trend of his body and suddenly sank. The strength of his whole body exploded in an instant, and he rushed forcefully through the gap between the two of them.
The huge force caused the two of them to take several steps back involuntarily. Chen Feng took a step forward and passed between the two of them. He immediately jumped into the air, and his body flew for a long distance in the air.
, the ball was released steadily in the air.
"Shua", the ball fell steadily into the net, and the clear sound made the entire Toyota Center freeze. This Chinese boy is a liar.
With 47.8 seconds left, the Spurs chased the score to 107:110.
The Spurs had been adopting a tight man-to-man defense in the fourth quarter. Chen Feng's sudden man-to-man defense caught Jeremy Lin by surprise. As halftime was about to pass, Chen Feng quickly passed him by.
The ball was also taken away by him.
It was too late for Jeremy Lin to return to defense. Duncan, who was halfway down the court, had already received the pass from Chen Feng, quickly took two steps, jumped up easily outside the three-second zone, and dunked hard with both hands.
At 109:110, the Rockets only held a one-point lead, which made McHale finally unable to sit still and decisively called a timeout.
After the game restarted, Toyota Center fans all stood up in unison, cheering for the team again and again, hoping that their heroes would create miracles again. (To be continued...)
