The whole audience exclaimed.

Lillard didn't expect Zhao Feiyang to be so fast!

boom.

For Zhao Feiyang's such a strong dunk, Lillard can only watch him hit it.

The Blazers continued to serve.

This time Lillard was very cautious, not daring to relax in controlling the ball after halftime.Teammate CJ McCollum came up to respond, and Lillard transferred the ball to him.

After giving it out, Lillard was not idle, but ran to the wing position and seemed to have plans to respond.

Sure enough, in the next second, McCollum threw a ground pass.

The basketball was given to the left side of the basket, and Lillard also received the basketball and rushed to the basket at this time.At the moment when he raided the Timberwolves basket, Zhao Feiyang also stepped up to defend, and jumped up with Lillard the moment Lillard jumped up.

Snapped.

Lillard's shot was slapped by a big hat.

Zhao Feiyang's cover was ruthless and merciless, sending Lillard a hot pot.

There was another uproar in the audience.

Many fans on the sidelines looked dumbfounded.

"What's the situation? Why does Zhao seem to be targeting Damien?"

"Indeed! I guess it's because the media stepped on it too much, so Zhao has to respond to them with actual performance..."

"Before I thought Damien was very good, but in this game...I feel as if Damien is not that good..."

The fans on the sidelines talked a lot.

On the court, Lillard, who was capped, also became angry. When the referee whistled and called a foul, Lillard also walked up to Zhao Feiyang. He seemed very unhappy and asked Zhao Feiyang, "Dude, What exactly do you want to do?"

"If I remember correctly, there is no grudge between us..."

Regarding Lillard's displeasure, Zhao Feiyang also gave a very sincere answer, "Damien, of course there is no grievance between us... But now that we are opponents, I will do my best on the court. go......"

"If it's off the pitch, I think we might be friends, but on the pitch I won't hold back..."

"By the way, I also don't like the outside media to belittle me while touting you! I know you are amazing, but they shouldn't compare like this...Of course, this is not your problem, but I'm afraid You can only bear the blame for this..."

Lillard was stunned by Zhao Feiyang's answer.

It took him a while to react.

"wtf?"

"I can't be blamed for the flattery in the media! What's wrong with me? I didn't do anything..."

However, Lillard also had to admit that what Zhao Feiyang said was reasonable.

If it were him, he would only think about defeating Zhao Feiyang!After all, it is impossible for him to make an appointment with those media reporters. The basketball level of those people can be easily won with his feet, not to mention his hands.

The ball is still in the hands of the Trail Blazers.

A teammate passes the ball to Lillard on the sideline.

After getting the ball this time, Lillard did not play as hard as before. Instead, he controlled the ball and opened the distance. He actively signaled his teammates to let them attack, and he used the opportunity of possession to create other defensive players for them. attention.

Snapped.

The ball was finally sent out.

As soon as the ball was sent away, Lillard found that Zhao Feiyang, who was tense a second ago, immediately calmed down and shifted his attention away from himself instead of focusing on himself.

This sense of oppression made Lillard extremely helpless.

"Damn the media...why are you fucking messing with this guy?"

"what I did wrong?"

"Fake! It's all about you guys, and it turned out that Zhao chased me to fight...I just want to get higher stats..."

Lillard slammed the media many times in his heart.

Lillard's move to reduce singles did not make Zhao Feiyang relax his marking.In the rest of the second quarter, Zhao Feiyang still followed him every step of the way.

Not only did he have more physical confrontations with him, but he would always sneak up on Lillard from time to time, keeping him in a state of high tension in the offense.

This situation also made Lillard very miserable.

His shooting touch has plummeted, and his shooting rate for breaking into the basket has also been greatly reduced. It can be said that under the restriction of Zhao Feiyang's marking, his state is almost completely suppressed.

The Trail Blazers also had many problems on the offensive end due to Lillard's decline.

When the first half of the game was about to end, the Timberwolves also opened the point difference to double digits under the leadership of Zhao Feiyang.

Zhao Feiyang personally scored 25 points, 3 assists and 3 steals.

Lillard, who played against him, performed poorly, only scoring 11 points and 4 assists in the same playing time.
