When it came to the frontcourt, Payton was very tight, Davis was also closely guarded by Karim Rush, and Ye Feng still chose to hand over the ball to James, who had the greatest advantage.

James singled Devin George, turned his back and got rid of his defense and went inside, but O'Neal interfered and missed the shot.

O'Neal took the rebound and handed it to Payton.

Payton also doesn't play fast breaks, but pushes slowly, steadily and steadily, and decides the winner with positional battles.

When he arrived at the frontcourt, Peyton didn't talk trash to Ye Feng anymore, why waste his tongue on meaningless things.

However, Payton showed a meaningful smile.

Immediately after, he raised four more fingers, blocking and dismantling tactics!

Malone mentioned the free throw line and blocked Ye Feng again, Payton broke through from the other side of Malone again, and Boozer was once again a step slower to defend.

Everything is plotted in the same way as in the previous round.

What we have to see now is Ye Feng, whether he stops moving forward because of fear, or rushes forward stupidly again.

Ye Feng originally thought that this choice was very difficult, but when it came to the end, his body made a choice instead of his head and stepped out.

Sure enough, even the ignorant body doesn't want to admit defeat!

Lose, yes!

But admitting defeat is absolutely not!

I'd rather end up being beaten to the ground than kneeling and admitting defeat.

Kneeling may be half a body higher than lying on his stomach, but I'm sorry, Ye Feng's waist can't bend down.

"Alas, that's stupid!"

Buzer shook his head when he saw Ye Feng's actions. In his eyes, Ye Feng didn't listen to his advice, which was stupidity.

Ma Long, on the other hand, laughed directly.

"Hahaha! Courage is commendable, but courage doesn't bring victory, rookie, you'll soon understand that. ”

Again, Ma Long stretched out his iron elbow and fiercely converted towards Ye Feng, with greater strength than the last time.

Seeing that the iron elbow was about to fall on Ye Feng's chest, Boozer couldn't even bear to close his eyes.

But at this moment, Boozer heard countless "Oh, wow! Voice.

When he opened his eyes, Boozer saw a person standing on the ground with his abdomen covered, but that person was not Ye Feng, but Ma Long.

"What happened?"

Boozer was stunned.

looked closely, but found that Ye Feng had already bypassed Malone and blocked in front of Payton, destroying the Lakers' blocking and demolition tactics.

Just three seconds ago, when Ma Long's iron elbow was about to fall on Ye Feng's body.

Ye Feng suddenly turned around, deftly dodged Ma Long's iron elbow, and by the way, he also used his elbow to push Ma Long's abdomen.

The turning movements are dexterous and gorgeous, like a dance, which also makes Ye Feng's small movements well hidden.

The referee knew it, but since he didn't see it clearly, he chose not to blow it, and he just happened to make up for the Cavaliers. What's more, even the referee himself felt that Ye Feng's action was very beautiful, and he couldn't bear to blow the penalty.

In fact, this is also an unspoken rule of the NBA, if the previous round was unfairly punished to team A, the next round will be looser for team A, or more strict for team B.

In any case, Ye Feng's gorgeous turn not only bypassed Ma Long's blocking, but also blocked Payton's breakthrough, which was a double win.

Ma Long, a large muscular man, is indeed strong in his ability to resist blows, and he is indeed hard enough, and after receiving an elbow from Ye Feng, he just took a few breaths of cool air and returned to normal.

Staring at Ye Feng's back fiercely, Ma Long ran back to a low position.

It was Peyton, who was suddenly intercepted by Ye Feng, and the offensive rhythm was chaotic.

But Payton is a veteran and a superstar after all, and when he encounters this situation, he doesn't make mistakes, lose the ball, or hit him directly with a hot head.

Instead, he relied on skillful ball control skills, unhurriedly controlled the basketball, took a step back, and stabilized the rhythm.

With 16 seconds left on the offensive floor, there's no need to rush at all.

Looking at Ye Feng with interest, Peyton's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"This rookie isn't interesting at all, but it intrigues Peyton."

Others may be more optimistic about Ye Feng's wonderful performance of scoring two three-pointers and scoring 6 points and 2 assists in less than two minutes after he played.

But for a superstar like Payton, it's not worth mentioning at all, and he was able to do that easily when he was younger.

What he is really optimistic about is Ye Feng's spirit of not admitting defeat and his creativity in defense.

"Don't you see how wonderful it is to turn around and force a filler just now?"

Payton, who started by relying on defense, has always regarded defense as the most important thing.

But it is precisely the position of organizing the defender, 99% of the time it is the starting point of the attack on the field, but it is not important in defense.

This is also the reason why there are so many best defensive players in NBA history, but Payton is the only one in the playmaking guard position.

Payton was lonely, feeling like he had no successor, and his style of play would disappear as he aged.

But today, Peyton's eyes lit up.

"Maybe, if I win a championship this year, I should consider retiring and going to Cleveland."

Peyton thought silently.

Ye Feng didn't know Peyton's thoughts, so he just stood in front of Peyton and didn't give Peyton a chance to attack easily.

Peyton smiled, still did not choose to single Ye Feng, but handed the basketball to the big shark on the inside.

And then, bang!

Lakers scored, 22-17.

"Big Shark" O'Neal, the score is so unreasonable.

This goal was scored, and it was time for the first rotation, and the head coaches of both sides transferred troops and sent the first half of the substitute lineup to continue the fierce battle.

On the Lakers side, Phil Jackson is a little worried.

originally expected to blow up the Cavaliers in the first quarter, so it didn't matter how the lineup was arranged.

But now, the Cavaliers are biting the score very tightly, and there is a possibility of catching up or even overtaking at any time.

In such a situation, the Zen master must leave at least one core to continue to lead the team in order to ensure that the knights will continue to be suppressed.

Because the core of the Cavaliers is too young, they don't need to rest all of them, but will continue to stay on the court to fight.

If the Lakers replace all the core at this time, they will definitely be blown up.

But which core should be left to continue to lead the team?

Carl Malone, who is almost 40 years old?

The postman will also be tired, he can't escape the polishing of the years, and the Zen master doesn't want to tire Malone out of injury in the preseason.

O'neill? At just 32 years old, he is the youngest of the three cores.

But O'Neill is a big center after all, with a terrifying weight of 216 cm and 147 kg, coupled with O'Neal's lazy attitude, which determines O'Neal's limited physical strength.

Looking at it this way, only Peyton remains.

But Payton is also 36 years old, and at this age, many stars have begun to retire.

If it weren't for his dedication to the championship ring, Payton would have retired a long time ago.

"Alas, how nice it would be if Kobe Bryant should be!"

This is the second time that the Zen master has missed Kobe Bryant tonight.

Kobe Bryant is only 26 years old this year, full of physical strength, and Kobe Bryant is a well-known runner in the league, and he has no problem playing 48 minutes.

With him there, there is no need to worry about who will lead the team in the rotation phase.

In desperation, Phil Jackson could only choose Payton, which was already the best choice.
