Chapter Twenty-Three: Hope Is Present

Brown hits a three-point shot!

The score is 59:51, and the red team is only 8 points ahead! This is the lowest difference after the score was pulled apart in the first half!

However, this is not the biggest blow to the red team.

Yi Feng's personal offensive ability and defensive ability have been shown in front of people. So Russell even played a tactic like a double bag and gave Yifeng the treatment of a top star.

First, Russell wanted to use a double bag to limit Yi Feng's offense; Second, he felt that after Yi Feng had such a comprehensive and powerful offensive and defensive skills, it was impossible for him to have a qualified passing skill.

And if you don't have a pass above the average line, it is very easy to make mistakes in the face of a double bag.

In this way, as long as Yi Feng continues to play with the ball, then he will make a mistake under the bag. This mistake is very fatal, and it is equivalent to giving the opponent a fast break opportunity. Because all of Yi Feng's attacks are launched from a high breakout.

If he gives the ball to somebody else and lets somebody else attack......

No worries at all!

Take a look at his teammates, Booker, Brown, Nance, Porzingis, which one has the offensive ability to break down the RED team's defense?

However, this beautiful imagination exists only in Russell's reasoning. Yi Feng's passing ability is far higher than he imagined. His passing skills and timing are comparable to those of a point guard, and that's the playmaking heart of a team.

Yi Feng, he's just a scoring guard who focuses on scoring, how can he have such good passing skills?!

Russell is going crazy!

This damn little white face!

Yi Feng, who can pass the ball, gave a wonderful assist in the face of the double bag, which was too much of a psychological blow to the red team.

In the face of a player who tries hard to defend but can't defend anything, as a player and as his opponent, will you be helpless? Or even despair?

Even if it is not manifested on the surface, the psychological blow is real.

The red team once again returned in vain, unable to defend and attack, and their emotions gradually came to the verge of collapse.

Although it is still a double bag, Yi Feng keenly feels that the defensive intensity has decreased.

This time, Brown didn't get another chance to open the spot, because there was a timely reinforcement from the red team's inside. Yi Feng beckoned Booker to come forward to answer. At present, it is a critical juncture to chase the wind, and we cannot risk a strong fight.

And this goal is extremely crucial, if you score, the opponent's momentum will plummet; If you can't score, not only will your morale be affected, but it will also give your opponent a chance to breathe.

Passing the ball to Booker, Yi Feng himself began to run nimbly, trying to shake off the defender. After two laps back and forth on the inside, Yi Feng finally got rid of the defender and received the ball again.

Russell, who understood the importance of this ball, pounced desperately, his facial expressions and defensive movements were even more ferocious than Vaughn, who was defending Yi Feng.

Russell felt his attention unprecedentedly concentrated, the world in front of him seemed to slow down a beat, and Yi Feng's every move was watched by him.

Yi Feng holds the ball in both hands and raises his hand!

It's just a shooting feint! Russell steadied his center of gravity and suppressed the desire to jump the block.

Sure enough, Yi Feng's hands quickly pressed down, and the basketball was smashed to the floor.

This is a breakthrough!

Russell reacted quickly and used his extreme speed to block Yi Feng's breakthrough route.

He's got the ball, he's going to shoot!

Russell, who was super focused, immediately stretched out his arm towards Yi Feng's cover after seeing such Yi Feng's movements.

After Yi Feng took a sudden step, he stopped and jumped suddenly, and his body rose high. The shooting action of both hands is extremely standard, and the eyes are staring at the basket, and there is a domineering look in the eyes.

The difference in height, the gap in armbands, and the gap in bouncing constitute Russell's helplessness at this moment for Yi Feng to stop and pull out.

Even if he jumped with all his strength and stretched out his arms as much as he could, he only touched Yi Feng's elbow!

Yi Feng was unaffected, and after Russell's hand touched his elbow, his ascent did not stop, and he only shot after reaching a height that Russell couldn't reach.

When the basketball flew in the air, the referee's whistle sounded.

The sharp whistle frustrated Russell, who had already landed, and Yi Feng, who was still stagnant in the air, needed his gaze at such a height.

"Huh!"

The ensuing goal made Russell's mood turn gray.

Yi Feng steadily threw a free throw and hit a three-point success, further narrowing the point difference.

At 59:54, the white team is now only 5 points behind!!

Hope is at hand!

In the 7th minute of the second half, Yi Feng made all 7 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws, scoring 16 points and an assist!

The white team scored 19 points in the second half, all related to Yi Feng!

What an explosive performance!

At this point, the RED bench asked for a timeout.

In just a few minutes of the second half, the opponent scored continuously, and the difference of more than 20 points was almost wiped out! This is not just about the 5 RED team players on the field, it is about the dignity of all the members of their RED team!

The rookie who is assigned to the red team has a lot of potential, and it is very likely that there will be some dominant figures in the basketball world in the future. In contrast, the white team is completely unstable. Except for a few rookies who are more prominent, no one else is likely to have any future.

So far, the red team has been treated 100 times better than the white team.

If the red team is overturned by the poor white team in this game, how can the red team save face? Can they still enjoy the current differential treatment? Will it be replaced by someone from the white team?

This is not even just a matter of face and dignity, but also a matter of treatment and money! Money is the lifeblood! It's a matter of life, how can the people on the red team bench not be in a hurry!

So they're going to pause.

Russell and the others returned to the bench, and the frustration on their faces, whether deep or shallow, could not be concealed at all.

――――――

There were a lot of people in the Chicago Union Center who wanted the red team to win, and at the beginning of the second half, they also thanked Yi Feng for bringing them a wonderful game. But when they waited for the game to fall further and further out of their expectations, they panicked.

Russell's poor performance made them angry.

I didn't expect Russell to be so vulnerable in front of the Chinese rookie. Russell is now losing his own face, as well as the face of the entire American.

He swore to jump out and accepted the important task of defeating Yi Feng, the Chinese representative on behalf of the Americans, but now he is acting so unbearable in the arena when facing Yi Feng!

The bloody gap made the Americans present blush. Especially when Yi Feng faced Russell directly, the emergency stop and dry pull "2+1" scored by Yi Feng was really big.

Yi Feng played a 19:2 super attack wave, forcibly taking the game out of the preset rhythm of the question. According to this, it doesn't even take two minutes for the difference to be erased.

They're finally not on the top either.

Taylor is an "outlier" among the many American imperialist people, and he is not hostile to Yi Feng; On the contrary, the better Yi Feng performed, the more he liked it. Because, in Taylor's opinion, Yi Feng is already a player for the Lakers. His own players played well, how could he not be happy.

Overseas people, on the other hand, who have a different stance from the people of the United States imperialism, were intoxicated by one surprise after another by Yi Feng's contributions.

Super offensive ability with the ball, excellent projection skills, excellent finishing ability under the basket, and unexpectedly good off-ball ability, although the defense is based on physical fitness, but top physical fitness can also bring top defense, Yi Feng is walking on the road to having top defensive ability. Coupled with his leadership skills, Yi Feng is a superstar embryo.

As long as you adapt to it in the NBA league, you will become a superstar with a little build. Although the strength may not be comparable to that of a real alliance superstar, it is not inferior to anyone in popularity.

I believe that this game will become Yi Feng's masterpiece, a stepping stone to his draft, and his business card in the United States. With his performances on the pitch so far, he can play that role.

As Yi Feng's briefing, the media reporters from China began to think in their hearts: If he can continue to work hard, fight more and more bravely, and win this game......

――――――

During the timeout, there was a heated discussion on the bench of the red team.

Russell lost leadership due to his poor performance on the field. In the second half, the red team's starting XI was all replaced.

Since you can't, let's replace it! The RED team has talent!

The players who came on after the red team timeout were: Emmanuel Moodier (G), Cameron Payne (G), Stanley Johnson (F), Frank Kaminski (F), Willie Cauley Stein (C).

It's a balanced lineup with Moodier and Payne forming a double point guard, and Payne's good outside shooting skills can create space for Moodier's breakthroughs; Johnson is physical, has an excellent reach, has a tough style of play, and he has a very good combination of speed, flexibility and power, has excellent footwork, and is quite good in ball handling and shooting, and is generally a balanced offensive and defensive player; On the inside, Kaminsky is good at attacking and Cauleystan is good at defending.

The purpose of the red team to put on such a lineup is quite simple, not only to limit the white team in defense, especially Yi Feng's play, but also to play at their own level in the offensive end, and once again pull the score away.

The previous lineup of the red team is also a balance of offense and defense, and the strength of this lineup is not much different, mainly because of the psychological factors that affect the strength of the problem, so it is continuously chased by the white team.

From the point of view of the red team's bench, Yi Feng hit all 7 shots, which was not his real strength at all, it was completely lucky and blind. They didn't believe that Yi Feng would continue to be so hot all the time.

And after Yi Feng feels cool, the white team will be immediately beaten back to its original shape!
