With doubts, Chen Feng walked into the training hall.
What surprised him was that, except for him, most of the Spurs players had already arrived early, including head coach **Vicci and several assistant coaches.
"Haha, Chen, you are not the first one here today!" Patty Mills said to Chen Feng with a proud look on his face.
Chen Feng shrugged and said, "If you can arrive so early next season, I won't mind treating you to supper every night."
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Patty Mills was immediately discouraged. He could arrive at the arena so early once or twice. If he was asked to do it so early all season long, he would definitely not be able to bear it.
On May 14th, U.S. time, the Spurs went to the Staples Arena in Los Angeles to begin Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals with the Lakers.
Although the Spurs defeated the opponent in the last game, it was not easy. This time they meet again, the Lakers are bound to come back at home.
Because if they lose this game, they will go home, so this game is a last-ditch battle for them.
After the players on both sides took their positions, the referee walked to the midline, glanced at the players on both sides of the ball, Derrick Favors and Gasol, and gently put the whistle into his mouth.
Amidst the crisp whistle, the orange basketball was gently thrown by the referee. As the basketball gradually rose, millions of hearts were lifted into the air in an instant.
Derrick Favors and Gasol focused all their attention on the basketball in the air, but it did not hinder the competition between them at all. Their bodies closely together tried every means to restrain their opponents. In the jump ball,
It reflects not only physical quality, but more importantly, psychological quality and experience.
Due to his height advantage, Derrick Favors lightly pressed his right elbow on his opponent's left arm at the moment he took off. Gasol's explosive power is not outstanding, but his long arms will naturally not
Because of this little force, he was pushed to the floor, but he completely lost the opportunity to take off.
After landing with a "bang", Gasol's body sank suddenly. In an instant, he flew up like a rocket.
There was a muffled sound. Derrick Favors' expression suddenly changed. With his opponent seizing the opportunity, Derrick Favors was careless when fighting for the ball. He did not quickly hit the ball to his teammates.
instead of thinking about how to put the ball in the hands of his teammates more comfortably.
But I didn't expect that Gasol was getting stronger. Gasol pushed hard on the bottom of the basketball with his right hand. The basketball that had just fallen flew to the ceiling of Staples Arena again, but the direction was quite wrong.
It's no longer just two jump ball players competing for the ball.
Kobe saw the opportunity and quickly moved two steps to the right. There was a violent sound of air flow, and a black and white figure passed in front of his eyes.
Gasol's shot was indeed ruthless, and the ball flew up to an astonishing height this time. Under the incredible eyes of the fans, two lightning-like figures quickly intersected.
Kobe and Chen Feng were destined to be rivals. When they saw each other, Kobe's eyes were even sharper and Chen Feng's eyes were even sharper.
Two palms with clear black and white touch the basketball almost at the same time.
"Pah!" The basketball finally couldn't withstand the amazing strength of the two people and flew into the air again.
There was a muffled "pop" sound, and Chen Feng sighed helplessly. In fact, he had an advantage over his opponent in the timing of the second jump. Unexpectedly, a moment of negligence messed up his wishful thinking.
"Clang" only lasted a few breaths, and a violent slam dunk made the atmosphere at the scene freeze.
When the ball came into Kobe's hands, he didn't even have any time to adjust. With a slight push from the bottom of the basketball, the ball quickly flew over the heads of the Spurs players.
Seeing that the ball was about to fly out of the baseline, Iguodala's strong figure quickly inserted into the paint from the right side, and two steps away from the free throw line, he jumped into the air and made a violent dunk to help the Lakers take the lead.
point.
2:0, with the alley-oop between Iguodala and Kobe Bryant, the Lakers took the lead.
Seeing Iguodala easily high-fiving his teammates, the atmosphere in the stadium had time to reach a climax.
In this game, Steve Nash did not appear in the Lakers' twelve-man roster due to physical discomfort. This means that he will not play in this game.
He was replaced in the starting lineup by Jordan Farmar. There is one thing about Jordan Farmar that coach D'Antoni is certain about, and that is his defensive ability. Although he says he doesn't care about defense, looking at the current scene of the Lakers, he doesn't defend.
It's really hard to win.
McGrady caught the ball at the baseline and quickly pushed the ball through the midfield.
Chen Feng quickly stepped forward to respond, skillfully controlling the basketball with his right hand, and gesticulating with his left hand to direct his teammates' movements. None of the Spurs' interior players are speed players. Therefore, one of Chen Feng's important tasks in this game is to control the game.
As long as the game is dragged into a positional battle, the Spurs' chances of winning will increase a lot.
Chen Feng's body suddenly sank, and Kobe's eyes tightened. He was highly concentrated, but Chen Feng did not choose to break through. Instead, he handed the ball to McGrady's hands on the right and quickly passed Kobe.
The Lakers' defense transition was very fast. As soon as the ball came into his hands, Jordan Farmar quickly appeared in front of him. McGrady was shocked. He had problems with the details of handling the ball. In order to avoid Jordan
-Farmar's aerial interception. The range of his pass was so high that when the ball flew to Chen Feng's head, Chen Feng had to fly to pick it up.
Gently glancing at the basketball above his head, Chen Feng's heart moved. His body was still maintaining its extreme speed. Kobe had already calculated his breakthrough route. Even the moment he saw the ball, Chen Feng had already calculated how to catch the ball.
subsequent actions.
The only thing that exceeded his expectation was that Chen Feng didn't even take into account the basketball above his head. You must know that there are currently no players on the right side of the Spurs inside line. Based on the ball's flight path, no Lakers player intercepted it, and it was 120%.
Ten will fly out of the bottom line.
Looking at the basketball approaching quickly, Kobe felt a little hesitant. He would not interfere with such a pass, and it would definitely fly out of the baseline. However, for him, such a pass was not difficult at all.
At the moment when he was distracted, Chen Feng's body quickly moved up, leaning on him tightly with his back, and with flexible steps, he easily thrust in from Kobe's right side.
Kobe was shocked and quickly stepped forward to fill the position, but how could Chen Feng let him fill the position so easily? At the moment of the breakthrough, he had already jumped up and easily picked off the basketball.
In the eyes of all the fans, Chen Feng made a twisting movement in the air, and his body stopped out of thin air. He gently pushed his wrist out, and the ball gently fell into the basket a few feet away.
With a "swish" sound, the basketball brought up a circle of white net.
2:2, the two teams drew.
Amid the cheers of a few Spurs fans, Chen Feng raised his right hand high and quickly retreated.
Pau Gasol reached a perfect position in the low post and reached out to Kobe for the ball. The latter passed the ball to Pau Gasol without hesitation.
Derrick Favors was misplaced to defend Pau Gasol, but the latter easily got rid of Favors who looked a little excited. However, after seeing Boris Diaw coming to cover, Pau Gasol did not
Without any panic, he handed the ball to Al Jefferson and then drove it towards the other side.
Immediately afterwards, the ball returned to the hands of Pau Gasol. Pau Gasol used Al Jefferson's screen to dunk directly and scored 2 points.
Although Gasol is not as good as when he was young, he is still in good shape.
Therefore, whenever they play against the Lakers, the Cavaliers will arrange Derrick Favors to defend Pau Gasol.
Chen Feng organized the offense, and McGrady reached the top of the arc to catch the ball. Holding the ball with one hand, he stepped forward with his right foot, and McGrady instantly rushed toward the opponent's inside. Although McGrady was no longer at his peak, he still attracted double-teams from his opponents.
Seeing his opponent implement a double-teaming strategy, McGrady waved his hand and the ball reached Leonard, who was outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right.
Perhaps it was because the game had just started and the hand hadn't warmed up yet, but Leonard's three-pointer hit the backboard directly and was caught by Al Jefferson who was standing under the basket.
Kobe controlled the ball, and the fans in the stadium suddenly burst into cheers.
The fans at Staples Center are very crazy, and they must let the home team feel their enthusiasm and make them full of fighting spirit.
Kobe passed the midfield slowly with the ball. Facing Chen Feng's defense, Kobe burst in from Chen Feng's right side. When Chen Feng reacted, he bumped into a black figure. It turned out to be
Pau Gasol stepped forward to pick and roll. Using Pau Gasol's pick and roll, Kobe broke through and went straight to the basket to score.
At 6:2, the Lakers had a 4-point lead.
Chen Feng dribbled the ball, and the audience burst into boos.
After this round of the series, Chen Feng has definitely become the most hated player by Los Angeles fans. It is Chen Feng's outstanding performance that has brought the Lakers to the abyss of failure time and time again. For the Lakers, who have formed a luxury battleship this season,
This is what they don't want to see!
After halftime, after Derek Favors was about to reach his position, he still passed the ball to Derek Favors. This was the tactic arranged by **Vitch, to open the situation from the inside first. Derek Favors
He beat Pau Gasol, but did not choose to take a shot. Instead, he handed the ball to Boris Diaw on the other side. (To be continued...)
