PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!
The matchup is divided into two teams, white and yellow, and they wear the home and away jerseys of the Lakers.
Russell was on the yellow team, while Yi Feng was on the white team.
The match is divided into two halves, each of which lasts 20 minutes. It's the same as the previous confrontation in the joint training camp.
At the beginning of the game, the yellow team's center jumped the ball and won the first wave of offensive possession.
Russell advanced with the ball, and the white team players quickly fell into position, preventing the yellow team from attacking easily.
Russell thought about the reasons for his failure after his last failure.
He feels that the gap between himself and Yi Feng is reflected in his singles ability.
Yi Feng's physical fitness is better than himself, his height and arm span are better than his own, and he also has shooting skills that are not inferior to his own, which undoubtedly makes his singles ability much better than himself.
Although Russell was very dissatisfied with this status quo, he had no choice but to accept it.
Therefore, today he will not make the same mistake again, and he will not use his shortcomings to fight with Yi Feng's strengths!
Russell no longer obsessed with individual offense, and directly let his own center come out to block and dismantle.
The white point guard was easily blocked by the big center of the yellow team, and when Russell broke through and entered the free throw line, the yellow team met him inside.
Russell made a fake pass, and the basketball was stuffed directly to his own power forward who was unguarded under the basket, so that he could dunk it violently.
It's a very simple pick-and-roll combination, but Russell shows his agility, passing and vision to the fullest.
Yi Feng didn't care about the gains and losses of this goal, and went straight back to defense.
To his surprise, the White point guard ignored his request, even though he was out of position at the waist.
Yi Feng has been in the limelight in the United States lately, but few of these young people who play ball take him seriously. Maybe you know that the level of Yifeng is really good, but so what? I'm here for a tryout, and if I don't show myself well, do I still have to help you make the ball?
The violent midfield clashes at the Chicago United training camp were not exposed by the media. The players involved in it will not say anything about their disgrace.
Therefore, this matter is still a secret that few people know.
The point guard of the white team is one meter tall and in his early eights, and after half the court, no one looks at him, and he starts to break through.
He's fast, and Russell can't defend him. However, when he broke into the inside layup, because he was too short in height, coupled with his thin stature, and his poor confrontation ability, the layup was seriously interfered with. In order to prevent eating hats, under the extreme pull rod, there is no crosshairs.
The basketball didn't touch the basket, and it was confiscated by the yellow team inside after knocking on the bottom edge of the rebound.
In contrast, Russell is much more "popular", and the yellow team won the rebound inside and obediently gave him the ball.
Using the pick-and-roll again, Russell passed the ball to the white small forward in the bottom corner this time. Although the small forward of the yellow team was slow to shoot and shot in a flat arc, the basketball stumbled and fell into the basket.
5:0!
The Yellow team started the game with a five-point lead.
Russell took the initiative at the beginning, while Yi Feng fell into "infighting".
It's all like the previous joint training camp match.
Although he won several possessions through active rebounding, the score still tended to be widened. Yi Feng knew it was time for him to make a move.
After showing his strong force value and understanding that Yi Feng was not a weak and bullying little white face, the members of the white team finally began to be honest.
Yi Feng fought to catch up again, this time with a score difference of 16 points, 35:19, and the yellow team took the lead. And at this time, there were more than 3 minutes left before the end of the first half.
Yi Feng first played a strong single, and after three consecutive successes, the score difference was quickly closed to 10 points. Then in the face of the double bag, Yi Feng attacked hard again and dunked.
This finally caused the yellow team to resolutely wrap up, and this is exactly what Yi Feng meant.
In the face of the bag, he continued to pass good balls, and although his teammates did not have a high hit rate, the score was gradually approaching. In the final minute of the first half, the Yellows had only five points ahead of the game.
As one of the players who included Yi Feng, Russell once again saw Yi Feng's strong personal strength and his composure in the face of danger. At the same time, I also experienced the powerlessness of facing such a powerful enemy.
But the anger in his heart, as well as the hatred after his reputation, applause, status, and everything else was snatched away by Yi Feng, made Russell unable to disarm and surrender.
With such an emotional trend, he is desperate, even if he loses his life, he has to fight until the last moment.
As a result, Russell didn't quickly return after his teammates missed another shot. It's about looking at the landing point of the rebound and rushing to grab the rebound!
His judgment turned out to be very accurate.
He could already feel it himself, and he jumped to heights he had never reached before in order to rush for this rebound. At this moment, he understood what it was like to look down on all beings, and he also experienced the thrill of holding the player under him.
Finally, he grabbed this frontcourt rebound.
And it was won by a big player on the inside.
Although he didn't see who it was, he didn't even tell whether it was the yellow team or the white team's inside team.
None of that matters, the important thing is that you won the rebound!
Before he could think about how to launch a second attack after winning the rebound, Russell's left foot, which landed first, felt like he was stepping on a foreign object.
"Click!" With a bang, Russell's left ankle was twisted almost 90 degrees!
Immediately afterward, Russell felt a heart-piercing pain in his ankle!
"Ah...... Yes! ……”
Russell lay on the floor with his ankles folded, wailing like a cuckoo crying blood.
In an instant, everyone in the audience was stunned!
Hurt!
Russell was actually injured!
They couldn't react for a moment.
"Quick! Call the team doctor! ”
There was a voice from the sidelines, and everyone followed the reputation, it was Kobe!
When did Kobe Bryant come? We didn't even find out!
Kobe Bryant is a veteran of the league for many years and is very experienced in dealing with emergencies. The team doctor was quickly called and the wailing Russell was carried down.
Due to unexpected circumstances, the match was terminated.
Now Russell is the main player of the Yellow team, and the injury is unknown, and there is no need for this confrontation to continue.
Soon, the team doctor came with a preliminary diagnosis, which was a relatively serious ligament injury, and it was optimistically estimated that it would take at least 6-7 weeks to recover, and the specific injury needs to be further confirmed.
Yi Feng breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Russell's ankle was immediately swollen and terrifying, fortunately, the injury was not very serious, and after careful treatment, he should be able to return to the field in two months.
Although he is a teammate, Yi Feng has no idea of wanting Russell to be ruined by injury.
Injuries are the biggest enemy of professional athletes, and I don't know how many talented athletes have been ruined. Yi Feng has played basketball so far, although he has never been injured, but he is also afraid of injuries.
A lot of the time, he played with a little bit of strength and tried to avoid injury. Because after an injury, no matter how well you recover, there will always be an impact. Not to mention that it is not so easy to recover completely.
He expressed his sympathy for Russell's injury today and sent his best wishes, wishing him a speedy recovery.
After the trial was disbanded, Yi Feng was also ready to follow the flow of people out of the Toyota Center.
At this time, an elegant-looking middle-aged man stopped him.
"Hello Mr. Yi Feng, I'm a scout for the Lakers, Giles Taylor."
Yi Feng held the other party's outstretched right hand, and said suspiciously: "Hello, I'm Yi Feng, may I ask you to stop me ......"
"Aha, I hope you don't mind. I can call you 'easy', right? ”
Taylor's smile is so relatable that people are unconsciously infected.
"No problem at all!"
"Yi, I specially stopped you, in fact, it was out of the instruction of one person."
"Oh? Is it convenient to reveal who it is? ”
Taylor smiled mysteriously, "Just turn around and see." ”
Bryant!!
Yi Feng turned around and saw Kobe Bryant standing in front of him, dressed in sportswear, sweating slightly on his forehead. This is not the same as what Russell's injury was wearing just now.
Yi Feng remembered that Kobe Bryant was in a suit and leather shoes at that time!
Although he has seen Kobe Bryant countless times on TV, computer, and mobile phone, when Kobe Bryant is really standing in front of him, Yi Feng still feels a little nervous.
No matter how calm he usually is, he can be calm in the face of various situations, but when his idol appeared in front of him, Yi Feng also experienced the tension and uneasiness that is usually difficult to experience.
Kobe Bryant could naturally understand Yi Feng's mood at the moment, and joked: "Yi, I'm your fan!" I watched you play on the sidelines just now, and I was immediately impressed by your skills! Come and sign me. ”
Ren Yifeng has a heart, and he is also a little confused at the moment.
The cultural differences between China and the United States make the people of the two countries different in many ways.
For example, this joke, Kobe Bryant came easily, if it was an American standing in front of Kobe, he would soon be able to suppress his nervousness, and at least he could communicate with Kobe normally.
And as a pure Chinese, Yi Feng does not understand such American jokes. But he understood the intention behind the joke, and the brief confusion and confusion were immediately replaced.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Bryant, I'm also your fan, Kobe. I've been playing for so many years, and I've been longing to have your autograph. I hope that dream will come true today. ”
"Hahahaha, no problem, as long as you can win me today."
Hey?
Win him?
What kind of game is this?
Yi Feng was still too young, and he was a little confused all of a sudden.
Taylor stepped forward in time, "That's right, it's just that he has something to look for you." I went to warm up just now, obviously preparing to fight you. ”
Kobe Bryant is going to play with me?
While Yi Feng was surprised, endless battle intent suddenly surged out of his heart.
Kobe Bryant is a basketball star he has loved since he learned to play basketball. Yi Feng likes him as much as he likes Maddie, and also imitates Kobe Bryant and learns a lot of his technical moves.
Now that he heard that Kobe Bryant was going to fight with him, he was excited!
Kobe Bryant's eyes were also full of fighting intent, "Bullfighting, do you want it!" ”
