Chapter 121.
Rondo led the defense against Mills, and Lin Feng, who was off the ball, clung to DeRozan.

He found that using "prediction for three seconds" seems to be easier to defend players without the ball, because you don't have to worry about the ball, you only need to look at the opponent's movement direction within three seconds.

Lin Feng can always block between Mills and DeRozan just right, making it impossible for the latter to get the ball comfortably.

Even if Gasol stepped forward to do an off-ball pick-and-roll, Lin Feng could still go around and prevent DeRozan from getting the ball.

He had energy, and DeRozan played almost the entire first quarter, the ball lost eight seconds in Mills' hands, and he had to reselect his pass to Belinelli at the [-]-point line. .

The Italian Cannon, who is nearly 200 centimeters tall, can't seem to find a good chance to make a move against the experienced Rondo.

DeRozan's inability to catch the ball means that the Spurs' offense has stagnated, and others have limited ability to break through with the ball, making it difficult to reach the Lakers inside.

The 38-year-old Gasol had to go to the low post to ask for the ball. Facing the harassment of the 23-year-old Jonathan behind him, the elderly Gasol seemed to have more than enough energy.

The intensity of his strength was not comparable to that of himself when he was young. Gasol still tried his best to push Jonathan away, but when he got up for a layup, he got a big cap from the latter.

Finsen took off the rebound quickly with quick eyes and hands, and quickly flew across the half court. They had a chance to grab an offensive right.

After halftime, Finsen did not hesitate, and made a decisive shot one step ahead of the three-point line.

At this time, Gasol had just passed halftime, and the basket was empty, and even Jonathan, who had completed the block, had already rushed to the basket to take a position.

Finsen's three-pointer hit the basket, and Rudy Gay, who was at the height of the basket, jumped up to receive the backcourt rebound.

Just when he was about to touch the ball, a shadow rose from above his head.

A hand appears above Guy's head and smashes the popped basketball into the hoop!
It was Lin Feng, he predicted where the rebound would land, and dunked the ball into the basket before grabbing Gay!
Gasol, who had just entered the paint, looked at the ball and sighed. His speed was too slow to keep up with the Lakers' fast-paced offense.

Finsen missed a three-pointer, but he couldn't lose face, and still celebrated his teammates' scoring aggressively.On the other hand, Beasley looked calm. He kept running back and forth and had no chance to hold the ball.

Back from the timeout, the Lakers scored four points in a row and grabbed an offensive rebound.Father Popo was very angry with the team's performance, and he yelled loudly to get the players to concentrate.

But it didn't help. DeRozan, the core player on the field, couldn't get the ball at all in the attack just now. He let the kid named Gary Smith defend him to death, and his defense was even stronger than that of Brother Ball.

In the last 35 seconds, theoretically, both sides have an opportunity to attack.DeRozan received the serve directly from the baseline, and Lin Feng stepped forward to press the ball symbolically and retreated to the half court.

Mills tried to screen him so that DeRozan could face Rondo, but Lin Feng signaled his teammates not to switch defenses. He could keep up with DeRozan's footsteps by relying on prediction.

The fruitless Mills had to open up space and run to the bottom corner to ambush, forming DeRozan to attack with the ball in the frontcourt. This is the best choice for the Spurs.

When it is necessary to reduce the success rate of turnovers, handing the ball to the star players on the field is undoubtedly the most correct choice.

DeRozan hugged the basketball to press the rhythm. This was the first official confrontation between the two in this game.

With 25 seconds left in the first quarter, DeRozan began to dribble for a chance to break through.Almost at the same time, Gasol came out of the paint to set him a pick-and-roll.

The quality of Gasol's pick-and-roll is much better than that of Mills, like a mountain blocking Lin Feng, making him uncomfortable.

And DeRozan tacitly walked to the other side to break through, Lin Feng was completely blocked, and the smell of sweat from Gasol's body poured into Lin Feng's nose, making him sick for a while.

Now is not the time to take these things into consideration. Lin Feng must keep up with the advancing DeRozan as soon as possible, otherwise he will directly face the inexperienced Jonathan.

Although Jonathan has had a flash moment with Gasol, that kind of good luck does not happen often. DeRozan, who is good at mid-range shooting, has a wide field of vision. He has enough space to complete the shot in front of Jonathan or pass to the outside. Belinelli.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng chose to let go of Gasol and run towards DeRozan. He chose to pinch the Spurs' core on the field and let go of the aging former Lakers star.

Gasol, who was emptied, cut in and raised his right hand to signal an alley-oop.

The 38-year-old Dajia completed the alley-oop?This is no simple matter.

DeRozan obviously hesitated, which is his Achilles heel.Originally intended to be in the middle distance, it seems that the teammates at the basket are in a better position.

He stopped the ball, facing Jonathan's raised hands, DeRozan did not choose to shoot.

Just when he chose to pass to Gasol, who cut inside, he felt that his hands were suddenly empty, and the basketball was photographed on the ground!

It was Lin Feng again, he seemed to be sure of DeRozan and cut the ball from the latter.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Bobo put his hands on his hips and shook his head helplessly.

No one wants to trade FMVP Leonard, but DeRozan seems to be the best player they can get.

DeRozan, who was cut off the ball, was very annoyed, his face was embarrassed, and he seemed to have forgotten to return to the defense.

He scored 10 points in the first 12 minutes of the first quarter and was the main offensive firepower of the Spurs.After the Lakers' first-year rookie debuted, he made mistakes again and again.

The defensive end didn't work, and the offensive end couldn't score.

The Spurs fans at the scene turned from excitement to loneliness, watching the young Lakers charge to their basket again.

After completing the steal, Lin Feng threw the ball to Rondo, and then ran all the way to the basket.At the same time, Finson and Beasley also ran quickly, three-on-one in the frontcourt, leaving only 183-cm Mills stationed at the basket.

He couldn't stop the momentum of the Lakers' bench gangsters.

Lin Feng received the ball and cut inside strongly, and when Mills came up, he hit the ball and passed it to Beasley who was in place.

Beasley, who didn't have much chance, rounded his right arm and poured the ball into the basket, and then bounced twice in place to vent his dissatisfaction.

The two clapped hands!
To be more precise, Beasley took the initiative to find Lin Feng, but there was still no verbal communication, and perhaps there was no need to say anything at all.

Complete the offense, 25-26, the Lakers are only one point behind!
The Spurs players were obviously stunned by a wave of hearty offensive flow, and they all stood still and no one even served the ball.

Popovich pointed at the timer angrily, "I'm going to call timeout at 19 seconds?"

The Spurs players forgot the time, they were all waiting for the coach to call a timeout, but how could the old man waste a timeout at this time.

Relieved, Guy ran back to the baseline to serve.

In the various bars in Los Angeles, wherever the live broadcast can be seen, there is a burst of jubilation.

Their summer hero stepped up in the team's most difficult time, and it seemed that whenever the team was in trouble, that guy named Gary Smith would activate the team.

"Gary should be in the starting lineup!"

"Los Angeles needs such a passionate young man!"

There was a wave of swiping on social media, and "Gary Smith-Lin Feng" became their savior.

He played at the end of the first quarter and scored 2 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound and 1 steal.The 6 points returned from the timeout were all related to Lin Feng. He became the savior of the team and let the opponent's star player suffer.

To be honest, Popovich began to like this young man. When Lin Feng retreated and passed the Spurs coaching bench, the old man gave him an approving look.
