The older superstars of the NBA

call out.

The referee's whistle sounded.

On the court, Zhao Feiyang just hit a three-pointer under the double-team of two defensive players.Everyone thought this time the whistle was a foul, although it was a bit late, they still waited for the referee to make a penalty.

Unexpectedly, at the next moment, a young player on the bench of the South Bay Lakers got up and walked onto the field, followed by the referee and made gestures. Only then did everyone know that the South Bay Lakers planned to make a substitution.

Coincidentally, the person who was replaced was Zhao Feiyang.

He played for 9 minutes, and there were less than 3 minutes left in the second quarter. Zhao Feiyang thought that he could play a full quarter at least, but he didn't expect that the head coach Raul Green would replace him at this time.

There was constant applause outside the stadium.

The fans didn't know why Zhao Feiyang left the field, but his efficient performance of scoring 9 points in 15 minutes, especially his aggressive three-pointer under double-teaming, has won the approval of most fans on the scene.

"Zhao, take a break."

"If I have a chance, I will let you go."

The head coach, Raul Green, looked quite gentle, and patted Zhao Feiyang on the shoulder and said something.

Such a move also temporarily appeased Zhao Feiyang's dissatisfaction.

However, Zhao Feiyang did not expect that coach Raul Green had gone to China to learn some cultural traditions. From the time he said this sentence to the end of the whole game, coach Raul Green never replaced Zhao Feiyang on the court, even Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to apply.

Because of Zhao Feiyang's previous strong performance, he helped the South Bay Lakers win a double-digit score advantage in the second quarter, making the Stockton Kings catch up all the time, and failed to catch up until the end.

It doesn't seem to matter if the main players don't play when they are in the lead, but the problem here is the Development League, not the NBA.

To stand out, data is the only measure.

Zhao Feiyang didn't complain, and planned to leave after the game. When he left, he encountered a large number of Chinese fans asking for autographs and group photos.

In order to thank these fans for their support, Zhao Feiyang also specially stayed to take pictures with them as a souvenir, and even sent autographs to many people.

The first show ended successfully.

But what followed was not approval, but overwhelming doubts.

The local media in Los Angeles will only pay attention to players with sufficient exposure. After Zhao Feiyang was sent to the Development League, most of them have given up follow-up reports.

Only the domestic media in China are always paying attention to Zhao Feiyang's situation through various channels, and report it to the fans as soon as possible.

The performance of the Nanwan Lakers team with 9 points in 15 minutes in the first show was quickly known by the fans. Although Zhao Feiyang's highlights in this game were quite exciting, most fans did not buy it.

"If you put 15 points in the NBA, it's nothing to say! But this is the Development League! Jeremy Lin could only score single digits in the league when he first debuted, but after he went to the Development League, [-]-[-] points are like cutting melons and vegetables... ..."

"The efficiency is indeed high, but 15 points is too little, right? I thought that Zhao Feiyang could score 40+ in the NBA, and he should basically kill him in the Development League! Could it be that he is strong when he is strong, and weak when he is weak? "

"Who are the players in the Development League? Most of them can't afford the NBA. It can be said that they don't even have the qualifications of water dispenser administrators! If Zhao Feiyang can't achieve results among them, it can only mean that he doesn't have enough talent." Strength is established in the NBA!"

There are constant doubts from the outside world, and there is no shortage of ridicule.

However, what is more frightening than being discussed is being forgotten.

Just after Zhao Feiyang's debut in the Development League, reports on Zhao Feiyang dropped sharply in major domestic sports forums, and the popularity of various topics about him dropped a lot.

Even CCTV Sports, which had been following him before and even spared no effort to broadcast news about Zhao Feiyang in prime time, made changes after the first show. They didn't even have a special report, but just inserted a sentence in the evening sports news.

"Chinese professional basketball player Zhao Feiyang scored 15 points in yesterday's Development League game..."

The news broadcast about Zhao Feiyang was also very short, from the beginning to the end of the video, a total of 9 seconds.

Just when Zhao Feiyang was transferred to the Development League, the nba game was also going on very hotly. The regular season gradually came to the third stage, and all the teams began to improve their records, especially those who hit the playoffs The team is trying every means to win more games and win more games.

And the top few super teams in the east and west, also through this period of running-in, let the entire team's lineup once again tacitly understand.

It’s just that there are good and bad running-in. For some teams, the benefits of running-in far outweigh the problems, and it also makes them see more hope after going through the trading period. Meeting their expectations, on the contrary, exposed many problems to the team.

Eastern Division.

An evening game day.

In Miami's American Airlines Arena, the home team, the Heat, are fighting against the Indiana Pacers who are coming to challenge them.

The two sides played quite fiercely from the first quarter. Not only did the main players of both sides play together, but even the main players of both sides did not end the entire first quarter.

The score gap is not too big, both teams are biting their opponents tightly, not giving each other any possible chances.

Generally speaking, as long as the first half is not stretched too much, it is not allowed.

The Miami Heat have the Big Three. Their desire for victory is unquestionable, but they will use various opportunities to let the stars rest in order to protect the bodies of the stars and prevent injuries caused by excessive playing. This is good Let them explode in the playoffs.

But this time, the Heat had no choice at all.

The Indiana Pacers are their old opponents. They have reached the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive seasons, but they have brought tremendous pressure to the Miami Heat.

Although the Miami Heat successfully defended their title last season, the strength of the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals still impressed them deeply. In order to make the road to the finals smooth, the Miami Heat have been thinking about thoroughly Suppress old enemies.

It's a pity that this matchup failed to make them get what they wanted. When the two sides played with 21 seconds left in the game, the Miami Heat not only failed to lead their opponents, but were instead given a 2-point lead by the Indiana Pacers.

At the last critical moment, LeBron James broke through with the ball and entered the basket, attracting double-teams all the way and successfully allowing Dwyane Wade to seize the opportunity. The two cooperated and LeBron James assisted Dwyane with an alley-oop . Wade scored dunks.

After the goal was scored, the score between the two sides was 116 to 116, with the last 3.1 seconds left.

What the Big Three never imagined was that it was this seemingly impossible 3.1 seconds, but was shot by Indiana Pacers role player Evan Turner with a three-point lore.

LeBron James, one of the leaders of the Heat, showed his displeasure for the first time when the basketball fell into the rim.

He walked toward the player tunnel alone, without even greeting the fans as usual. After entering the locker room, the first thing LeBron James did was send a text message to the team's general manager Pat Riley.

"I can't understand, we have such a strong lineup, but we can't even find a stable outside output..."

"Ray is fine, of course, but he's old and his injuries have made it impossible for him to be consistent... Mr. Pat, whatever you think, if you want us to win the championship, you'd better find someone who can The guy who shoots the [-]-point shot...."

"Otherwise, you will regret it when we meet the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals..."
