Chapter 43 He Doesn't Belong Here

Los Angeles.

The venue for the South Bay Lakers.

Today is Zhao Feiyang's second game here, and their opponent is the Santa Cruz Warriors who also belong to the Pacific Division.

This team is a development league team affiliated with the Golden State Warriors. It is strong in the NBDL league and has always maintained sufficient competitiveness.

After the game started, Zhao Feiyang still sat firmly on the bench. As he expected, the head coach Raul Green did not give him much trust.

Fortunately, there are still quite a few Chinese fans in the arena today. These supporters are more powerful than in the previous game. Many players even wore the same jersey that Zhao Feiyang wore for the South Bay Lakers. They all sat on the same table. Area, turned into Zhao Feiyang's fan group to cheer for him.

At 3 minutes and 01 seconds of the second quarter, head coach Raul Green finally signaled Zhao Feiyang to come on stage.

At this point the score was 36-40.

The Santa Cruz Warriors lead the South Bay Lakers by 4 points.

Although few people cared about the score difference on the court, Zhao Feiyang still glanced at the scoreboard.When he stepped onto the court again, his eyes were completely different from before.

If he was still confused and uncomfortable before, then at this time, he already has a sense of tenacity and confidence.

It took only one game for Zhao Feiyang to understand the rules here, that is, nbdl does not need assist players, no green leaves, data is the real king.

call out.

The referee's whistle sounded.

South Bay Lakers serve.

Teammate Chris Tim passed the ball to Zhao Feiyang. He intended Zhao Feiyang to pass it back to him, but as soon as the ball was given away, Chris Tim found that Zhao Feiyang took the ball away.

"wtf?"

Chris Tim looked surprised.

Zhao Feiyang, who was advancing with the ball, was very calm. He ignored Chris Tim's move to ask for the ball, and concentrated on dribbling the ball across the half.

"Anyway, this guy won't pass the ball to me, so why should I talk to him?"

"Get the results early, and get out of this quagmire to be real!"

After halftime, Zhao Feiyang had an idea and pretended to pass the ball to Chris Tim when he saw the defensive player posting it.

"Chris."

Zhao Feiyang shouted at Chris Tim while making gestures.

This move immediately attracted the attention of the other two players.

Chris Tim was pleasantly surprised, thinking that Zhao Feiyang would really pass the ball, so he ran to the left, intending to catch the ball and break through to the basket from that area.

However, in the next second, Zhao Feiyang, who was standing still, suddenly launched an attack. His speed was extremely fast. Open two defenders.

Swish.

A solid layup was scored.

Zhao Feiyang's breakthrough drew cheers outside the court.

"nice shot!"

"Good job!"

After scoring the goal, Zhao Feiyang ran towards the half-court and passed in front of Chris Tim. The opponent grabbed Zhao Feiyang, "Dude, didn't you say you would pass the ball to me?"

Zhao Feiyang deliberately pretended to be sorry, "Oh! Man, I'm sorry, I saw too many defensive players around you just now... Next time! Next time..."

Two minutes later, Zhao Feiyang played singles with the ball again, this time he was double-teamed by two defensive players at the same time.Teammate Chris Tim was very excited when he saw this. He ran to the wing position to respond, and kept making moves towards Zhao Feiyang for the ball.

"They're all double-teamed! He should pass the ball to me now..."

Chris Tim looked expectant.

However, in the next second, Zhao Feiyang shot directly from outside the three-point line.This time he made a strong shot against the two defenders, throwing the basketball while the opponent blocked most of the shooting space.

Swish.

The moment the basketball hit the net, the Chinese fans on the sidelines went crazy. They stood up and cheered, some even danced and their excitement was beyond words.

Also from this moment, Zhao Feiyang's state became more and more brave.

But he was lucky, even though not many people fed him the ball, he still grabbed a lot of rebounds under the basket by virtue of his agility.

As a result, his scoring continued to rise, and by the end of the second quarter, he had scored 24 points.

Perhaps the good performance aroused the interest of the head coach Raul Green, or maybe the audience was too enthusiastic, so the head coach Raul Green had to do this. In short, Zhao Feiyang continued to play in the third quarter.

In the following 7 minutes, Zhao Feiyang repeatedly broke through the basket of the Santa Cruz Warriors with three-pointers, and the opponent's marking or double-teaming tactics were completely useless.

Zhao Feiyang ruthlessly crushed the opponent with three-pointers, so that the Santa Cruz Warriors were directly opened to a 17-point gap in the second half of the third quarter.

Under such circumstances, it can almost be declared that the game has entered garbage time.

call out.

At the end of the third quarter with 2 minutes left, Zhao Feiyang was finally replaced by head coach Raul Green.

At this time, the situation on the court was completely reversed. He also scored an astonishing 44 points and happened to get 13 rebounds, which can be regarded as a relatively rare double-double.

The moment Zhao Feiyang walked off the court, only the cheers of the fans and the awe and respectful eyes of his teammates greeted him on the sidelines.

"Good job!"

Head coach Raul Green took the initiative to praise.

There was no suspense in the rest of the game. After Zhao Feiyang left the field, the South Bay Lakers beat the Santa Cruz Warriors completely one-sidedly.

In the evenly matched scene before, because of Zhao Feiyang, the "spoiler", the opponent's players were completely out of temper and completely powerless to fight back.

beep.

The sound of the timer stopping sounded, and the live game was officially declared over.

Zhao Feiyang failed to leave the field immediately, because he was surrounded by fans on the sidelines just after the game ended.A group of Chinese fans surrounded him in a circle, all wanting to ask him for autographs and cooperation.

Zhao Feiyang did not refuse, but responded enthusiastically.

The situation of this game was quickly spread. To the media in Los Angeles, a player who scored 44 points in the Development League sounded very powerful, but because the opponent was a Chinese player, the need for reporting suddenly decreased a lot.

Naturally, other teams would not pay too much attention to the news of the Development League. Therefore, for the NBA, Zhao Feiyang's 44 points were just a small pebble thrown into the sea, and did not cause much disturbance.

When the news was sent back to China, the attitude of the fans was completely different.

"44 points is not bad! It proves that Zhao Feiyang has the ability to play in the NBA!"

"So what if the Development League scored 50 points? There are a bunch of people who can't make it to the NBA! Is it awesome for a middle school student to go to an elementary school to participate in a game?"

"I don't know if it's good or not, but I think Zhao Feiyang is absolutely wasting his youth in the Lakers! But if any team now offers an olive branch to Zhao Feiyang, I think his development will be much better than the Lakers. ..."
