Chapter 97. 98. Lakers version of "Kyrie Irving"

Scrimmage!It's still a scrimmage!

The replay center believed that Lin Feng did not control the ball, so he had to fight for the ball with Harden.

Well, this time the steal almost turned into a score. Paul frowned and his face was a little ugly. He didn't expect to be predicted by a rookie rookie.

Paul began to direct his teammates to stand, ready to arrange offense or defense.

James stood behind Lin Feng, so that he could face it calmly no matter whether he grabbed the ball or not.

The referee threw the basketball, and the two jumped up almost at the same time, but Lin Feng grabbed the ball with his wingspan and called back to James.

He gradually adapted to the intensity of the game and put himself into it.

After the jump ball, Lin Feng quickly moved forward, but Tucker couldn't react in time, Lao Zhan was quick-witted, and lobbed the ball to Lin Feng who entered the paint.

With a big stride, Lin Feng dribbled the ball past the free throw line and forced a layup against Paul under the basket.

The latter is of course impossible for him to succeed easily, but the height of 183 cm is really powerless to change anything.

Lin Feng hit the basket and scored the fifth point of the game.

The steal resulted in an indirect score, and Lao Zhan took the initiative to give him a high-five on the way back to defense. This is the best encouragement from the team boss.

In the next few rounds, Lin Feng succeeded on the offensive end one after another like a Ferrari with full power. By the end of the third quarter, he had already scored 12 points.

"Good job!"

During the break, Josh Hart took the initiative to high-five him, and Caruso was sitting on the bench. Lin Feng made him feel a little embarrassed because he didn't get a chance to play.

"Gary, you can be sharper on the offensive end, and I will pass the ball to you." James encouraged while drinking water.

Lao Zhan's passing is really good. As long as he runs tirelessly, the basketball will be passed as soon as the opportunity arises.

Of the 12 points, 8 points came from Lao Zhan's assists, but the Lakers are still four points behind, which is not too big. The two teams are basically still on the same starting line.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Walton planned to temporarily replace Lin Feng to rest, and let Hart, who had a good hand, go up for a while.

It appears that tonight's final tiebreaker will require him to return to the court to score.In fact, Lin Feng's physical strength is enough to last until the end of the fourth quarter.

Hart's performance was quite satisfactory, and he tried his best to put pressure on Harden on the defensive end, but the bearded man was too strong, and sometimes he could only look at the ball and sigh.

Harden's step-back is difficult to figure out, you can't tell whether he is going to break through or withdraw from the three-point line to shoot.For this reason, within 2 minutes of playing, Hart was fouled twice.

The score gap has always been in single digits, reaching seven points at most.The Lakers' offensive efficiency is not bad, thanks to the fact that the Rockets' defense is not hard enough.

Paul also did not appear on the court. After all, he is 34 years old and his physical fitness is not as strong as that of young people.D'Antoni put him on the bench and let Harden lead the team alone, waiting for the final 5 minutes of the decisive stage.

For the Lakers, Rondo will also not appear in the closing stage. His physical strength is also a problem. Although he has a strong pass organization ability, he will be easily targeted on the defensive end.

Lin Feng's performance tonight made Walton feel gratified. He is a scalpel on the bench and can bring fire support to the team.

Can act as a fixed-point shooter in the James system, and can also organize offensive scoring by himself. It seems to be a rookie version of Kyrie Irving.

In the third quarter, the partner attacked, and James also felt the same way.The crew cut rookie standing next to him seemed to bring him back to the Cavaliers two years ago.

There is always a small man with cold eyes standing behind him, even the two of them are very similar in shape.

This inspired James' desire to fight tonight, fighting for the championship.

The last attack in the third quarter was successful, and the scene of the two clapping their hands when they returned to the bench was captured by the camera. This scene is very similar to the Jan-Ou combination back then.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, the Rockets were on the offensive under the leadership of Harden, and they planned to give the Lakers a blow.

Anthony still stayed on the court. He performed poorly tonight, only making one of seven three-pointers and scoring 7 points.

Wharton still has a small lineup on the court, without Big McGee, Kuzma takes the fifth position, and Hart and Rondo form the backcourt.

Not long after the start, Gerald Green made a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

The Lakers advanced quickly, and Ingram used his wingspan to get to the basket. There was no chance and he had to pass back to Rondo on the outside.

Lao Zhan wanted a position at the basket, and Rondo lobbed the ball back. Facing the pinch of the two, James forcibly kicked the ball and hit the board to score.

99-93, the Lakers are still six points behind.

Evelyn, who was on the sidelines, was in a state of excitement throughout the game, and would faint with bliss at the thought of her brother standing on the field.

Many people already know that they are the family members of rookie Gary Smith.

Evelyn quickly became acquainted with the two girls who were watching the game, and some girls even wanted her to ask if Lin Feng was single.

"Haha, he has a very weird personality and a very stubborn temper. I don't think anyone can stand him." Evelyn laughed.

Until 7 minutes into the fourth quarter, Lin Feng replaced Rondo and returned to the court.The task Walton gave him was obvious, and that was to score.

On the court, Ingram and Kuzma couldn't open the situation. Relying on James to rush to the basket is not the way, but can only rely on Lin Feng, who played well in the third quarter.

Back on the court, Lin Feng felt the air was full of excitement, he wanted to show off his offensive talent, even in the face of Paul's defense.

He began to frequently call for pick-and-rolls, and asked Big McGee, who played front and back, to block the bearded Harden for him. Although the quality of McGee's pick-and-rolls was not very high, sometimes what he sent was not a pick-and-roll, but a two-team.

Lin Feng could only give up this strategy and choose to pass the ball in an empty cut, relying on his tireless movement and James' picturesque pass.

After a brief in and out, Lin Feng with the ball settled down to face Anthony near the bottom corner, and Gordon, who was defending Hart at an angle of 45 degrees, was ready to double-team at any time.

But Lin Feng's breakthrough ability is obvious to all, and his court vision is not bad.Reckless double-teaming will only create an open shot opportunity for Josh Hart, who is ambushing on the outside.

Entering the final decisive stage, every attack is precious.

When Gordon was hesitant to double-team, Lin Feng had already started to run over Anthony from the baseline and rushed into the basket.

A beautiful pull-bar layup in the air, leaving only the lonely figure of Anthony behind him.

He is really old, this is Lin Feng's first reaction.If you go back to a few years ago, it is absolutely impossible for him to get into the penalty area from in front of Anthony so easily.

On the sidelines, D'Antoni crossed his arms and looked stern. Perhaps he has already begun to think about Anthony's future.

Melon bid farewell to Houston after only playing ten games with the Rockets, and he didn't even walk away with a trace of dignity.

Syracuse University's honor room is full of his records, as well as the most dazzling photo of winning the championship.

But now, he can no longer adapt to the faster-paced NBA. Looking at Anthony's lonely back, Lin Feng can't tell what it feels like.

Perhaps it was time for him to leave.
