When Yi Feng won the rebound, he turned his head to look at his teammates, only to find that they all had shocked expressions, as if they had seen a ghost.

What's going on?

He looked around and saw that it wasn't just his teammates who had this on their faces, but the Pistons players as well. And in the Staples Center arena, those fans opened their mouths wide, as if they had seen the most incredible thing in their lives.

The whole stadium was surprisingly quiet!

What the hell is wrong with them?

Didn't you just grab a rebound?

He felt a little baffled.

He thought to himself that if it wasn't for the game, maybe they might have pounced.

When Yi Feng was in CUBA before, he used to grab rebounds with those who were taller than him. He is an outside player, relying on the ability to bounce against the sky and continuous jumping, he can always take food on the head of the inside player.

When he came to the NBA, he still relied on his physical fitness to grab rebounds on the heads of interior players. However, NBA players are generally very physical, and he can grab fewer rebounds.

Therefore, grabbing this rebound with some difficulty just now made Yi Feng a little happy. For him, the more the better.

But he didn't know how difficult it was to snatch a rebound from the head of Drummond's rebounding machine!

A lot of interior players can't do that!

Yi Feng, a skinny outside player, did it!

And it was simply by jumping ability to grab the rebound!

Drummond, the god of the village, who is known for his explosive physical fitness, was shown alive!

YOU MUST KNOW THAT IN THE OFFICIAL STATISTICS OF THE NBA, DRUMMOND IS 213CM TALL AND HAS AN ARM SPAN OF 229CM; WHILE YIFENG IS 203CM TALL AND HAS AN ARM SPAN OF 218CM. In grabbing rebounds, Yi Feng is at an absolute disadvantage.

However, facing the league's top rebounding machine, Yi Feng was stunned.

His ability to bounce is super and he is recognized. But I didn't expect his continuous jumping ability to be so against the sky!

The height of the second bounce is almost the same as the first charge jump!

You know, Drummond's continuous jumping ability is also top-notch! But with the blessing of his height and reach, he was able to snatch this rebound from Yi Feng!

Perhaps this is a very big blow to him.

When he turned back to defending, Drummond kept thinking about it.

However, Yi Feng didn't give him time to think.

Bringing the ball to the front court by himself, Yi Feng delayed the opportunity to run fast because he looked at other people's expressions everywhere, so he planned to make up for it with this goal.

He decided to single Pope.

Of course, there are also reasons why Pope has just gotten rid of his defense. At some point, Yi Feng appears stingy.

And in the first quarter, Drummond was on the inside, and he felt he should respond.

Jumping continuously and competing with Drummond for rebounds made Yi Feng a little out of breath. Therefore, this time for the attack, he does not intend to break through.

As he dribbled and observed the Pistons' defense, he silently adjusted his breathing.

He just bent over and did a cross-dribble back and forth.

Pope stepped forward to take a step closer, and he continued his previous defensive routine to make Yi Feng break through.

Yi Feng's right shoulder sank suddenly, and he made a gesture to break through on the right side.

Pop subconsciously retreated. But it was a feint to eat Yi Feng.

Yi Feng pulled the ball back with his right hand and jumped on tiptoe to shoot.

Swish!

The basketball makes a beautiful arc and falls into the center of the basket.

At 46:36, Yi Feng's goal brought the Lakers' lead to 10 points.

The difference in points has come to 10 points, and the level of danger has increased greatly. Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy was a bit tempted to call a timeout, but he considered that they had only called for a timeout before Yi Feng scored the goal.

Hopefully, the pause I asked for him would have an effect. Don't lose a rebound and slump, Andre!

Van Gundy looked at Drummond who was running forward, with some worry and some expectation in his heart.

They are all professional players in the NBA, and although they are 10 points behind, it will have a slight impact on their mentality, but the impact is not deep.

The Pistons' offense is still working in style.

At this time, Drummond, whether it was a card position or a cover, felt a little slow by half a beat. It seems that the failure in the rebounding battle with Yi Feng has given him a lot of impact.

Reggie Jackson was keenly aware of this and deliberately opted for an offensive tactic that Drummond was less involved in.

Ulson Iyasova holds the ball near the free-throw line, and the Pistons' offense starts the same way as last time.

At this time, Pop, who seemed to swim aimlessly to the basket, suddenly shook a shot to the left, turned around and ran towards the top of the arc.

And Jackson, who passed the ball to Iasova, strode to the basket and blocked Yi Feng's way to chase Pope.

Pope came to the top of the arc from beyond the three-point line and had an open shot.

Kobe Bryant came over in time, and Pope didn't dare to make a move after receiving a pass from Iyasova.

After the feint shot, Pope broke through.

Although his offensive skills with the ball are not excellent in the NBA. But players who can enter the NBA have an extremely solid basketball foundation.

Kobe Bryant was shaken by his shooting feints, coupled with the negative effects of age, and did not prevent a breakthrough that he was not afraid of.

Pop's breakthrough made the Lakers' defense shrink into the three-point line.

At this time, Marcus Morris, who was let go by Kobe, slipped outside the three-point line at a 45° angle on the right side, and after Pope broke through two steps, he stopped to collect the ball urgently, and there was a pass that didn't look at people!

A shooter in the eyes of people can actually pass such a ball! Morris didn't waste the opportunity either, hitting a three-pointer with his hands.

At 46:39, the Pistons immediately narrowed the difference from 10 points to 7 points.

Pope can make such a good pass, not because he has a good passing vision. It's just that he has good basic passing skills, coupled with the tactics formulated by the Pistons, which created this three-point shot.

Marcus Morris didn't get many shots in this game, but hit both three-point shots.

Morris is a well-rounded forward, capable of playing both small forward and power forward positions.

He has mid-to-long-range shooting ability, but he can also score under the basket, and often use his flexibility and speed to break through opponents and attack the basket when facing big defenders one-on-one; And when facing defenders who are not as tall as him, good shooting ability can also ensure his stable output.

He has good mobility and is good at seizing opportunities to score in quick transitions, making him a rare big man scorer. Last season with the Phoenix Suns, he averaged 25 minutes per game, contributing 10.4 points and 4.8 rebounds. After being traded to the Pistons, he averaged 35 minutes per game in nine games this season and was able to score 15.1 points and 5.1 rebounds.

However, Morris's weaknesses are also obvious, that is, he lacks height, reach and strength, lacks the ability to play singles in the low post, and his blocking ability is very weak, which may become the team's interior weakness on the defensive end.

But Van Gundy put him in the No. 3 position, and instead of playing with Morris, a big man on the inside, he used his speed and agility to play very actively in the No. 3 position.

Even if he is defended by Kobe Bryant, who has been on the All-Defensive First Team many times, he is able to play his own character.

If, as his opponent, you only focus on how much he looks like his twin brother, then he will teach you an impressive lesson.

Although Drummond is semi-invisible, he is still able to ensure a consistent rebounding contribution. The Pistons' defensive rebounding was solidly protected, and the Lakers didn't have the slightest chance.

The good news is that the Lakers also protected their defensive rebounds well, and the rebounds on both sides were tied in the second quarter. This led to a tug-of-war between the two teams in the second quarter.

You score a goal, you return a goal, and the margin has been hovering between 5 and 10 points.

In the last two seconds of the second quarter, Clarkson missed a three-point shot, and the half game ended. The Lakers led by six points at home at 58:52.

At halftime, Stan Van Gundy naturally poured a lot of chicken soup for the soul on Drummond in the locker room.

Ever since Yi Feng snatched that rebound on his head, Drummond hasn't been in the right place. There will be a distraction in the game.

It's just that the confidence on the offensive end is easy to be hit, and he is not good at attacking in the first place. However, the rebounding ability that he is most proud of will actually lose to a rookie! And this rookie is still a defender!

No one will be left unattended.

The good thing is that his role on the offensive end is not the most important, otherwise he doesn't know how many times he will make mistakes.

"Andre, no matter what the outcome of that scramble is, the matter has passed after all, so why should you keep it in your heart."

"It is inevitable that a man's growth will be accompanied by failures and pains along the way. In the end, the man who can become a strong man must be the one who can smile in the face of failure and pain. ”

Drummond was thoughtful.

The manager's words are very clear. But Drummond understands that this is easier said than done. Who understands the big truth, but it is difficult to practice it in person.

He is currently the league's leading rebounder, and is two ahead of DeAndre Jordan, who is second on the rebounding list, but was robbed of the rebound by a rookie. Where does this put his face?

Smiling in the face of failure and pain?

How can you smile in the face of someone who has humiliated you?

Drummond could not comprehend such a realm. But he knows that if he continues to be invisible in this game, then he will definitely be sprayed like a dog after the game.

The second half started on time.

The Lakers, who failed to jump at the beginning of the game, took the lead in the third quarter.

The starting lineups of both sides are indistinguishable from those of the first quarter.

The Lakers' first attack in the second half ended in success.

Because the Lakers' two interior linemen, Randle and Hibbert, do not have the ability to shoot from mid-to-long range, Drummond has been staying under the basket.

This is the biggest threat to the Lakers' breakthrough.

Yi Feng bypassed Bryant and completed a hand-to-hand pass.

Bryant blocked Pope for him by the way.

Yi Feng cut into the basket, shook off Morris with a jump, and jumped with the ball to force Drummond.

Drummond glared angrily and swore to defend the basket. At halftime, he had woken up.

Who knew that Yi Feng twisted his waist in the air, grabbed the ball with his big hand and passed the ball from Drummond's armpit to Hibbert.

Hibbert catches the ball and makes a layup.

At 60:52, the Lakers continued to hold the lead.

Looking back, Drummond, who was out of the basket, was actively involved in the offense.

After passing the ball to Iyasova, he covered Jackson, who cut to the basket.

However, because Drummond mentioned that he was out of danger when he left the paint, Hibbert let him go and stared at Jackson, who cut to the basket.

Seeing that there was no chance, Jackson circled under the basket and went around to the bottom left corner. Here Pop and Yi Feng are entangled.

In the chaos, Jackson struck from the bottom left corner to the top of the arc and received a hand-handed pass from Iyasova who was holding the ball in the high post.

And Clarkson, who had been chasing after Jackson, was pulled away more than two steps at this time, despite the desperate pursuit.

If Jackson chooses to shoot a three-pointer at this time, it will undoubtedly be an open three-pointer.

But Jackson didn't shoot a three-pointer, I don't know if he wasn't confident in his projection, or because he was afraid that Clarkson would be able to interfere with him in time.

Around Iyasova, Jackson burst inside.

And Drummond, who mentioned earlier that he was covering Jackson in the air, also followed at this time.

At this time, Hibbert, who was sitting in the basket, was dumbfounded, and Jackson and Drummond killed him left and right, what should he do?

Subconsciously, he faced Jackson, who had the ball in his hand.

Hibbert, who had been standing outside the reasonable collision zone early, wanted to get Jackson an offensive foul.

However, as if he could violate ergonomics, Jackson went from extreme movement to extreme stillness, and he stopped abruptly in an instant.

Of course, this is just Hibbert's delusion.

Jackson, though in good shape, couldn't have come to a complete stop from that much speed.

Jackson threw the ball in his hand, and Hibbert was startled, and it was too late to intercept it.

However, Jackson's ball is not headed for the basket, and judging from the trajectory, the ball will not end up with the basket.

And after Jackson threw the ball, Drummond rose up from the ground with him, received the ball at the highest point, and finally smashed Huashan with both hands.

The entire hoop was shaky, which showed the ferocity of Drummond's dunk this time.

After completing this open dunk with Jackson, Drummond returned to normal, scoring on and off, but his rebounding stats grew steadily.

Drummond's resurgence has made fewer breakaways for Lakers players. More of them can only be projected on the periphery.

But it's just that amazing thing about the feel.

The Lakers, who were fighting at home, suddenly broke out in a collective feeling after the start of the third quarter, how to shoot!

Yi Feng hit a three-point shot with high difficulty, Kobe Bryant was not far behind, and there were also three-point pulls after the tentative step; Clarkson also hit a mid-range shot, and Randle actually hit the basket as well.

In just five or six minutes, the Lakers played a wave of 18:5 offensive climax, rewriting the score to 78:59, leading by nearly 20 points.

The subsequent bench lineup also performed well, not allowing the Pistons to close the gap.

In the fourth quarter, the main lineups of both sides came on the court again, and the Pistons desperately tried to set off a counterattack, but in the end they all returned in vain. Stan Van Gundy could only replace the main line-up and calmly accepted the team's four consecutive defeats.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won the game at home with a total score of 113-98.

Yi Feng, who contributed 35 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, was elected the best player of the game.

Bryant had 17 points, nine assists and eight rebounds, Clarkson had 17 points, Nick Young had 13 points, Hibbert had 11 points and seven rebounds, and Randle had 10 points and nine rebounds.

On the Pistons' side, Drummond had 23 points and 17 rebounds, Pope had 10 points, Morris had 13 points, and Jackson had 13 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

The Lakers improved their record to 8-2 and continued to hold the third place in the West. (To be continued.) )
