It's easy to get carried away when you're excited, and Bagri is in that state at this point, as he's got 22 points and 10 rebounds so far, which is incredible for a high school student, especially when he's playing against the likes of Nick Young, DeRozan, Randle, who have already made a name for themselves in the NBA.

The most striking characteristic of getting carried away is magnifying his own successes and not making his mistakes official, Bagley ignores that he is playing in the Drew League at this time, and DeRozan, who is opposite him, does not take his defense seriously, let alone recognizes that his teammates have two strong containment points, Harden and Paul. The most terrifying thing is that after Pierce easily passed him, he didn't realize that this was Pierce's powerful experience, but instead felt that Pierce was betting on shooting.

The reason why Zhang Feng rushed to single Bagley was very simple, he couldn't get used to seeing people who couldn't recognize him, and the reason why Randle's dunk was successfully blocked by Bagley was entirely because Randle thought that no one was chasing after him, but Bagley was proud of it.

Zhang Feng didn't have much experience in facing big men on the inside, but he quickly searched in his mind for the guard video highlights he had seen, and the small fight between Tony Parker and Rondo appeared in his mind, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to use Rondo's way to get past Bagley.

Zhang Feng supported his left elbow to separate Bagley, stepped out of his left foot with the ball in his right hand, and then accelerated from the left side of the court at 45 degrees, his ostensible intention was to go to the middle and retreat to pick up the basket.

Bagley followed Zhang Feng without landing a single step, and he felt that this kind of large-scale dribble and horizontal movement on the inside was simply a move to ask for a steal, "Are you really a point guard?" Didn't your point guard instinct tell you that it was dangerous? ”。

At 45 degrees on the right side, Zhang Feng raised his right hand to hit the board and shoot. Bagley smiled disdainfully, reaching out to cover the shot, "I thought you had some unexpected way to attack, hook Abdul-Jabbar?" ”。

Who knows, Zhang Feng's ball was not thrown, but forcibly retracted the gesture and then turned back, Bagley was still in the air at this time, Zhang Feng easily jumped and hit a shot.

"Shit, careless" Bagley autonomy was played, but still forcibly made an excuse.

"Believe it or not, I won't let you catch the ball" Taking advantage of Bagley's anger, Zhang Feng launched a "provocation".

An outside player who threatens to make the inside player unable to receive the ball makes it look like an insult to the inside player's IQ, and Bagley quickly reacts from the shock, "What if you get it?" ”

Zhang Feng crossed his hands on his hips and raised his voice, "If you receive the ball, I won't catch the ball in this game."

Isn't it the same as not catching the ball? At this time, it was still the third quarter, and Bagley felt that he could gamble, and he had nothing to lose anyway.

"Okay, Paul, you hear it, you all hear it, pass the ball and you can nullify him."

Unfortunately, not only did Paul ignore him, but even Harden and Bobby Brown pretended not to hear it, and Harrell spread his hands and said, "What's going on?" Is this person stupid? ”。

The reason why Paul ignored Bagley was very simple, because he knew that Zhang Feng was playing with words, and it looked terrible not to catch the ball, but he still grabbed the ball, picked up the ball, and blocked and dismantled, but this was not Zhang Feng's purpose, Paul knew that Zhang Feng's purpose was to make Bagley fall into chaos, which could easily make Bagley mentally unbalanced.

"Pass it to me", Paul shouted just after half-time.

Paul glared at Zhang Feng fiercely and passed the ball to Harden, who was defending Harden at this time. Small forward defensive point guards are more common on the court, and Harden is undoubtedly at a loss at this time, but fortunately, Harden has a lot of experience against the league's top small forwards, and he dribbles unhurriedly and waits for DeRozan to leak space.

"Give it to me, I'm playing big and small on the inside, DeRozan can't stop me, Zhang Feng comes to defend, it's just a point away" Bagley was impatient.

shouted two sentences in a row, which made Harden not very happy, he chose to shoot directly, but unfortunately did not hit.

Bagley ran up to Harden and shouted, "Why don't you give me the ball?" ”。

Harden ignored him and ran to the backcourt. Bobby Brown walked up to Bagley and said comfortingly: "Don't be fooled, Zhang Feng is trying to provoke internal discord among us, how to attack Paul's arrangement, don't talk later." Bobby Brown felt that he had an obligation as a veteran to remind Bagley not to be impulsive.

"You guys deliberately don't want me to shine, I know" Bagley made a "malicious" speculation, which made Bobby Brown smile helplessly.

In the next few rounds, Zhang Feng either ate Bagley alone, or blocked Bagley to let DeRozan score on his head, or steal Bagley, who had an excellent opening performance, was instantly beaten back to his original form by the whole MHP team.

At the end of the third quarter, the two teams went into a timeout.

"I'm not on, I can't catch the ball anyway, whoever you love is on!" Bagley threw down the towel.

The person was invited by Harden, and if he didn't play well, he was just a high school student after all, but if it affected everyone's mood, Harden had to come forward to solve it.

"What's wrong? You're the focal point of their defense, we try not to pass the ball to you that is prone to errors, you don't think too much about it," Harden handed over a glass of Gatorade.

"It's because they focus on defending me that I need to play more exciting goals, so that next year's draft market will be better and there will be more endorsements. Bagley bent down with his head in his hands, and these words were his true thoughts, playing this game for money.

Harden laughed when he heard this, and he put Gatorade on the ground, "You know what? Before I came to the game today, my sponsor asked me to beat Zhang Feng because I represent two different camps with him, as long as I beat him he will give me an extra reward, I know he has the same task, you see how much he wants to play at the beginning of the first few balls, but the mentality is out of balance and leads to mistakes."

Harden's words not only shocked Bagley, but even Paul was shocked, they didn't expect that the two brands would fight openly and secretly to such a point, and there was actually a task to give rewards to each other's endorsement players, which was incredible.

"But Zhang Feng is a smart guy, he quickly understood what really matters after a few mistakes, and then he caused us a lot of trouble, and in terms of putting McGee as the offensive and defensive focus, his awareness is far greater than that of the average rookie, and this kind of big-picture view is only Paul is capable of."

"So what?" Bagley asked rhetorically, he didn't think Zhang Feng's matter had anything to do with him.

Harden shook his head slightly, thinking that Bagley was hard to carve, but he still said, "So you should learn from him, you will be drafted next year, and you should learn from his attitude of only wanting to win games, not always thinking about making money."
