Chapter 18: Raging the Skies

"Sure enough!"

After glancing at the technical statistics handed to him by assistant coach Carl, Rambis felt a pang in his heart and thought to himself:

So far, the Grizzlies' No. 0 has grabbed eight rebounds, and those are all backcourt rebounds, and if I'm not mistaken, six of those seven balls were missed by Kevin. Is this a coincidence? Or maybe he already knows enough about Kevin's shooting position.

However, at this time, the Timberwolves' offensive focus changed, and Kevin Love knew that Li Feng was a big problem, so he withdrew outside the three-point line, took Li Feng out of the three-point line, and handed over the basketball to Eljefferson.

But today's Jefferson performance is also good, Lefu has no chance, Jefferson can be said to be overwhelmed on the inside, and the combination of flexible footwork and body makes Randolph complain. And on the physical confrontation.

For a while, the Grizzlies' defense seemed to be an ornament again, and the loss of control on the inside line also made Hollins look pale, and he really couldn't imagine what it would be like if he lost to the Grizzlies and returned to Memphis. When the time comes, maybe the fans won't let themselves go.

With the exception of Li Feng, all the players have been considered by Hollins.

But there is only one Li Feng, and Lefu also needs to be restricted.

Two minutes later, the first quarter ended, and although both Mayo and Guy had scored from the outside, it was just a drop in the bucket, and the key to the Grizzlies wanting to win was the defense on the inside.

In the second quarter, Li Feng was also put on the bench, and Li Feng's performance was worthy of recognition, at least Hollins knew that this perversion could develop to Ben Wallace.

At this time, it was a paradise for the bench, with the Grizzlies leaving only Guy to maintain firepower, and the Timberwolves also left Flynn to impact the interior.

At the end of the uneventful second quarter, the main players returned in the third quarter, the Timberwolves continued the old way, Love pulled Marc Gasol out, and Eljefferson frequently singled Randolph to win.

Jefferson and Randolph are somewhat similar, both are physically strong, nimble on foot, accurate in shooting, and the biggest difference in ball style, Jefferson has a tough style of play and likes to wreak havoc under the basket, while Randolph likes to fly kites like Walker.

While sitting on the court, Li Feng was impressed by Jefferson's delicate singles, and at the same time, Li Feng also understood that relying on his height, he could not bring much defensive pressure to the opponent in front defense.

Li Feng's most admired by Aunt and Mason is not his physical fitness, but his ability to interpret the game, he is not a simple and stereotypical machine, but a fierce beast with intelligence.

At this time, the situation on the court has made Hollins have to make a choice, although he doesn't want Li Feng to take on too much pressure in the first game, but this is the first game, and he can't afford to lose.

"Striker, you play, replace Zach!"

Play?!

Although it was noisy in the arena, Li Feng was sure that he had heard correctly.

After being stunned for a second, Li Feng excitedly took off his coat and pants, sat for the second quarter, and re-revealed the already lonely No. 0 training uniform.

Li Feng, who took off his coat, did not walk to the skill stage, because at this time, Hollins once again used the timeout opportunity in his hand, and when everyone gathered around him, Hollins spoke:

"Defensively, we still use one defense and one defense, stick to the inside line, and pay attention to our own people. Zach, when he gets on the field, Jefferson will defend from the front! Offensively, everyone runs more......"

As a result, Li Feng adopted an extreme defensive method in the game for the opponent Jefferson: going around the front.

In one-on-one defence, going around the front is a very dangerous way to defend, once the opponent has successfully lobbed the ball, then the defender behind the opponent will be very passive.

In the NBA, this kind of defense usually requires teammates to fill in for them at any time. …,

Therefore, without the support of his teammates, Li Feng's defensive style can be described as extremely bold.

Think this will protect me? Jefferson, who was in the midst of the fight, was very disdainful when he saw that a nobody had taken a detour to him.

Zach Randolph can't defend himself if he can get 20+10, how can Li Feng, a guy who only fights with Kevin Love, be his opponent!

While facing Li Feng, he raised his right hand high and asked the opponent for the ball.

Flynn didn't hesitate when he saw Jefferson reach for the ball, Jefferson was always the core of the team, and immediately hoisted the basketball in his direction.

The ball didn't fly fast, but it was very high, and the landing point was exactly behind Li Feng, and the quality of the pass was very high.

Once Jefferson gets the basketball, all he has to do is dunk it in, and Flynn, who seems to be going to work alone, isn't incompetent.

His teammate's pass was very good, and what Jefferson wanted was to end the offense and defense with a burst dunk after receiving the ball. No one can interrupt their performance, not Zach Randolph, not even more so this parallel trade list!

But Jefferson was really able to complete this attack so easily, of course not, because at least one person would not agree, his name is: Li Feng!

Looking at the direction of the basketball's flight, Li Feng jumped, and in everyone's puzzled eyes, Li Feng was rising. What does he want to do, he won't be ready to break the ball like this, will he?

"This idiot! Parallel goods are parallel goods! ”

When Li Feng jumped, Jefferson thought disdainfully.

The parabola of the ball was high, and Jefferson didn't believe that Li Feng would be able to stop such a pass.

Once Li Feng jumps, then he will lose even the last defensive opportunity, in Jefferson's opinion, Li Feng's behavior is very in line with his rookie status.

There are not a few people who think the same way as Jefferson, and even Hollins can't help frowning at Li Feng's 'reckless' move, and Hollins can even imagine Jefferson easily completing a dunk after receiving the ball, and the Timberwolves took advantage of this to play a climax.

However, in the eyes of Jefferson and the others, who were puzzled or disdainful, Li Feng's body was rising higher and higher, and he was getting closer and closer to the orange basketball.

Maybe...... He can really complete this interception! At some point, people suddenly had such a feeling in their hearts, and even Jefferson himself began to sway.

Still a little short...... It's just a little bit ...... It's almost ...... Good!

The tip of the finger that touched the basketball made people's previous disdain and doubt, and their eyes suddenly turned into surprise. He...... He actually intercepted the ball?!

The fans opened their mouths wide, how high the fuck do they have to jump, watching the basketball being pulled in the other direction by Li Feng.

And Jefferson, who was still fantasizing about how he should use to complete the dunk, was also incredulous, this ball Dwight may not be able to intercept it, and was actually stopped by this parallel import.

After landing on the ground, Li Feng jumped again and took the out-of-control basketball into his arms.

"Hey man, here!"

As soon as he saw Li Feng snatching the basketball, Mike Conley was clever, shook off the defenders who had been pestering him, and started quickly while signaling to Li Feng to pass.

was shouted by Conley, Li Feng also saw the figure of his teammates, and with a flick of one hand, the basketball flew towards Conley like a cannonball.

'Fake, so powerful! ’

After receiving the ball, Conley's palms were numb, and he didn't care about complaining about his teammates' passes while he was playing, so he spread his steps and killed the opponent's half.

With no defenders, Conley didn't waste much effort, and with a light pick-and-roll, Conley scored two points easily.

Seeing that his players were able to open the deadlock, Hollins let out a sigh of relief and sat back in the dugout.

"If we had brought the striker on the pitch earlier, the team might have won the game, right?"

For the first time, Hollins mentally asked himself such a question, and it was clear that Li Feng's performance had already moved him, even though Hollins subconsciously believed that Li Feng needed to familiarize himself with the NBA first.
