Since the Raptors have Patterson and Biyombo partnered on the inside, Devin Casey's intention is already obvious, which is to completely shift the offensive focus from the interior to the outside, or on the Raptors' two-gun shots.

Lowry and DeRozan have always been the two aces of Casey's victory. When it comes to critical moments, he will always use these two trump cards.

Just like now.

Because of the outbreak of the Lakers' bench group, the Raptors have fallen behind by 8 points, and the situation is precarious.

The task of Lowry, DeRozan and other main forces coming back is to step up the offensive and narrow or even erase the difference. If possible, it would be best to overtake the score.

After the main forces of the two sides returned, the first attack in the dream was DeRozan's single.

Over the years, DeRozan has been the same year by year, step by step, and there are traces of great progress. has grown from a stunned young man who only knows how to eat by physical fitness, to an all-star player today.

In terms of offense, his breakthrough attainments are deeper, his mid-range shots are more accurate and stable, and he has also practiced his back-to-back skills. Just like his idol Kobe Bryant, his offense has gradually taken on a kaleidoscope shape.

It's a pity that his three-point shot has always been a weakness and has made little progress.

DeRozan holds the ball on the right side of his body, observing Yi Feng's defense while also paying attention to the position of the rest of the Lakers.

Although DeRozan is not very good-looking, especially when he is in the opposite position with Yi Feng, he is even more "ugly" by the handsome Yi Feng.

But he imitated the ball skills of his idol, but he also learned some physical beauty, and there was an inexplicable rhythm hidden in every stillness. Although it is not as picturesque as Kobe, it is not far off.

At this moment, he was just standing still with the ball, but it gave Yi Feng a sense of abyss.

Yi Feng knew that he couldn't defend every ball of DeRozan, especially after deciding to focus more on offense, locking DeRozan became a luxury.

Even if he was allowed to defend with all his might, it would be impossible to lock DeRozan.

It's not just because of DeRozan's all-star title that puts a lot of pressure on Yi Feng. Under the reputation of the All-Star, that strong strength also put a lot of pressure on Yi Feng.

A man who can both break through and shoot is the biggest headache for defenders. Especially when the offensive side elevates both of these abilities to All-Star level, the defender's nightmare comes.

Strictly prevent breakthroughs, so as to let go of the shooting space; And the dead defense shot gave way to the breakthrough route. You can only choose one of the two. If the attacker only has one point, then it is easier to defend against it.

But if you're proficient in both, then the defender really has nowhere to start.

For Yi Feng at this moment, this is the case, there is no lesser of two evils. DeRozan's break-through and defense are deadly weapons, and you can't let go of either.

If it was Yi Feng a few days ago, he would definitely have a big head because of this choice. But now he won't.

Since you know that you can't prevent it, what are you doing so desperately to prevent it?

If you have what it takes to score this goal, then I'll give you a goal in return!

A 1-1 draw, I didn't lose, and you don't win!

However, although Yi Feng did not intend to defend DeRozan, he did not let him score easily.

Compared with shooting, breakthrough is, of course, more physically demanding.

Maximizing the physical consumption of the opponent is also one of the ways to win.

Yi Feng took a half-step forward to defend DeRozan, giving up room for a breakthrough in disguise.

DeRozan, who has a keen sense of smell on offense, immediately sensed this "opportunity". followed the way that Yi Feng "let" out and killed under the basket.

The Lakers' basket certainly won't be empty. Although they are not efficient defensively, they are still motivated.

When DeRozan hit the basket, Randle let go of his defensive target Patterson and suddenly stopped DeRozan.

DeRozan didn't panic when he saw the defense, he shook the ball to the right with both hands, and took a step to the right with his right foot, tricking Randle to his right, and then changed direction with another European step, and the whole person jumped to the left.

And Hibbert, who was moving a little slowly, was already unable to make up for it at this time, and Randle, who was shaken away, was even more out of reach, and could only watch DeRozan pick the ball into the basket.

At 34:40, DeRozan's goal narrowed the gap a little, but the Raptors still trailed by 6 points.

Yi Feng silently sighed in his heart that DeRozan really lived up to his name, playing in a "bitter cold place" like Toronto, where there was little attention, he could be selected as an All-Star, and his strength was not covered.

Lakers offense.

Yi Feng ran to the front court and landed in the bottom left corner. DeRozan also quickly switched from an offensive state to a defensive state, following closely by Yi Feng's side.

Clarkson advanced with the ball, and when he came to the frontcourt, he raised his right hand in the air and made a gesture.

Yi Feng's eyes lit up when he saw Clarkson's gesture, and he immediately started running after comprehending it.

Scott has developed several sets of tactics specifically for him, and this gesture made by Clarkson represents one of them.

First, he suddenly started to run to the left, making it look like he was going to slip the bottom line. DeRozan immediately shifted his body to the right to block Yi Feng's run.

However, this is just a running feint by Yi Feng.

Just like a breakthrough, if you want to break to the right, you will do a feint to the left, and if you want to break to the left, you will do a feint to the right.

In short, no matter what tricks are played, the ultimate goal is to deceive the defenders.

After Yi Feng deceived DeRozan, he headed to the right. Instead of slipping to the baseline, he ran around the three-point line from the bottom corner to the top of the arc.

DeRozan reacted quickly and chased after him.

Clarkson was holding the ball at the top of the arc, and after Yi Feng ran to his side, he took his hand and passed the ball. Then he cut around him and into the three-point line.

After Clarkson ran out of the ball in his hand, he covered Yi Feng empty-handed and blocked DeRozan, who was chasing after Yi Feng.

In this way, DeRozan and Lowry on the Raptors' side formed a change of defense. It was up to Lowry to defend Yi Feng who cut in with the ball.

Lowry's body center of gravity is low, and he is strong and strong, and he can keep up with his feet, and he doesn't think he has much of a problem with his breakthrough against easy wind. Especially Yi Feng is so much taller than himself, if he is not careful, he may be cut off by himself.

Of course, Yi Feng also knows the advantages and disadvantages of his opponent Lowry.

So he and Ben didn't dribble more in front of Lowry and didn't give Lowry a chance to break the ball.

With just one dribble, he collected the ball.

When Lowry didn't have time to jump and block, he stiffened Lowry's defense and pulled out his hand directly.

The height of his shot made Lowry sigh, and to put it exaggeratedly, "you can't even hit his knee when you jump".

The basketball smashes into the inside of the hoop and bounces into the mesh bag.

At 34:42, Yi Feng's goal brought the situation of the Raptors back to the original precarious situation.

"OMG!!"

In the commentary seat, Kenny Smith hugged his head and wailed!

Barkley gloated on the side, "Haha, Yi scored a wonderful goal!" Kyle looked up at him like he was looking up at a god! ”

And O'Neal said impartially: "Now the second quarter is 5 minutes and 08 seconds, and Lakers teenager Yi Feng has scored his 15th point. ”

Smith wailed again!

"It's 15 points! It's not even half of this second quarter!! ”

Barkley smirked, "Kenny, you're lost!" I'll find you a cute little she-donkey, hahahaha-"

O'Neill suddenly interjected, "I have a friend who runs a farm, and he has a lot of donkeys on his farm. ”

Barkley: "Oh roar—"

In the constant wailing of Smith and the constant joy of Barkley, Yi Feng and DeRozan began to fight.

DeRozan faced Yi Feng's defense, and after shaking from side to side, he suddenly made a sharp stop, and then pulled out his hand. The basketball tossed a few times on the basket, but it still rolled into the net bag.

Yi Feng went back and forth a few times on the inside, messing up the lines of both sides, and then suddenly came out of the chaos, received a pass from Kobe, received the ball outside the three-point line, and the basketball fell steadily into the basket.

DeRozan took advantage of the cover to stab and slash in, and the empty cut was successful. After receiving a wonderful pass from his teammates, he accelerated in stride, gritting his teeth and about to block Hibbert. Fortunately, Hibbert saw the opportunity early and avoided it in time. In the end, DeRozan won the slam.

Come and don't be rude. Yi Fengchao changed direction sharply past DeRozan, and after two accelerations, he hit the basket. After the jump, the body folded in the air to avoid the cover of Biyombo's long arm, and the last waist was clasped with both hands.

In the next round, DeRozan fell to the low post and singled Yi Feng with the ball. He watched the Lakers' defense while playing with his back. When you find yourself on the verge of being encircled, turn around and shoot backwards. The body is beautiful, and it has a bit of a sense of beauty. The basketball crosses the air and falls into the net.

Yi Feng also fell into the low singles DeRozan. After turning around, Yi Feng's movements are more fluid and natural, the arc of the shot is higher and smoother, and of course it is more picturesque. Basketball goes through the needle as well. After all, he is Kobe's personal disciple.

The second quarter ended in a confrontation between the two.

In this crazy confrontation, neither of the two could stop anyone, DeRozan scored 13 points, and Yi Feng scored 11 points!

At the end of the first half, the score was 52-58, and the Lakers still held a six-point lead.

For the Raptors, Lowry had seven points, four assists and two rebounds, DeRozan had 19 points and three rebounds, Scola had 10 points and Valanciunas had eight points.

On the Lakers' side, Yi Feng scored 24 points and 4 rebounds in the half, Kobe Bryant scored 10 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds in the all-around data, Clarkson got 5 points and 2 assists, Randle had 5 points and 6 rebounds, and it is worth mentioning that Huertas who came off the bench scored 6 points and 2 assists.

Not to mention what happened in the dressing rooms of the two teams, Smith was almost in tears under the watchful eyes of the fans.

Although a manly man, he sheds blood without tears.

But now Smith really feels that he can't express his gloomy mood at the moment without tears!

"24 points at half!!"

"Shaquille, tell me, do I still have any hope of winning?"

It was Smith's voice of despair, but more like the senseless struggle of a terminally ill man.

O'Neill told him very calmly, "You still have hope, whether in theory or in reality, you still have hope of winning." He's only scored 24 points now, and you haven't lost until he scores 29. In the NBA, it is not easy to score five points in a competitive game, and there are also cases where people play for more than 20 minutes and do not score a point. ”

At this time, Barkley poured cold water on the side, "That's just some people!" A man who could score 24 points in the first half would not score more than 5 points in the second half? What an international joke! ”

Immediately, he laughed wickedly, "Kenny, you're going to lose tonight!" Shaquille, you can contact your farmer friend and tell him that he must choose the prettiest she-donkey, and tell him that my great Sir Charles has asked for it! ”

O'Neill really pulled out his phone at the moment, "No problem, I think he should be happy to help." After all, it's a great opportunity to promote his farm! ”

Smith stretched out a trembling hand and blocked O'Neal's big hand that was about to dial, "Do you really want to contact now?" Isn't there no result yet? Haven't I lost yet? ”

The more Smith spoke, the more excited he became, "You just said I had a chance to win!! ”

O'Neill indifferently pushed Smith's hand away, "I'm just out of friend's comfort." But now I'm a businessman, and I'm telling you that businessmen don't have a conscience. ”

"From a businessman's point of view, one of your bets will always win, which means that there will always be an unlucky one who will kiss the donkey's butt. And the merchant doesn't care who this unlucky guy is, he just needs to know that someone needs him to provide a beautiful little female donkey. ”

Barkley shook his head, "What an indifferent businessman. The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient! ”

Smith: "......"

It's halftime now, but as a commentator, he can't leave the venue at will. Otherwise, he would have hid his face and gone.

Now he has no other way but to draw circles and curse Yi Feng's cold hand in the second half.

But Barkley boasted about Yi Feng next to him.

"Shaquille, why do you think this Yi Feng is so powerful? He scored 24 points in the first half alone, and the shooting percentage was still high! His mature approach on the court doesn't look like a rookie at all. And judging from his ability, he is even more out of touch with the rookie. ”

O'Neill thought for a moment, "You know, I was a teammate with a Chinese for a short time. I remember it was in Miami, and there was a Chinese named Wang (Wang Zhizhi). What impressed me about him was that he had a very soft shooting touch, which can be found in Yao, and it can also be found in Yi Feng, which seems to be the racial talent of the Chinese. ”

"But Yi Feng is very special, he has a lot of strengths besides shooting. A lot of the technology is very mature, which is unimaginable at his age. Rookies his age will have to hone in the NBA for a few years before they can master the skills he has now. You must know that China's basketball environment is not mature enough to produce players with such good skills. ”

"If you exclude environmental factors, then you can only find the reason from him. I don't think a simple sentence of talent is good anymore. T-MAC talent, right? Many people say that he is even more talented than Michael (Michael Jordan). But when he was 19 years old, did he have the ability to be like Yi Feng? Michael (Michael Jordan) talent, okay? He's a great basketball god! But you see what he was doing when he was 19 years old. (To be continued.) )
