Chapter 400: Donovan Mitchell's Determination

The timeout ended and the game resumed.

Walking to the court, Zhang Feng found that the U.S. team had also made personnel adjustments, Ball's position was replaced by Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith, and Jaylen Brown's position was replaced by the Jazz's Donovan Mitchell, and Kuzma and Ingram on the front line were also replaced by the Hawks' Torrien and Collins respectively, but what is more embarrassing is that the center of the world team is Tatum.

The world team won the jump ball in the first quarter, and in the second quarter, the U.S. team attacked first, Dennis rushed to the front court with the ball, dodged Zhang Feng's interference with a dummy dangling, and then passed the ball to Mitchell, who seemed to completely ignore Mori's close defense, and directly raised his hand to throw a three-pointer.

The trajectory of the basketball was very beautiful, and from the naked eye, it basically hit, the fans cheered and celebrated in advance, and the center of the World Team Sabonis also walked to the baseline to prepare to serve.

But who knows, after the basketball fell into the hoop, it began to spin, and after a few circles, it actually bounced out, and the fans couldn't help but sigh and regret that the rebound was taken by the unguarded Sabonis.

Sabonis got the ball and immediately turned around with a long pass, Zhang Feng received the ball in the middle line, and in the face of Smith's interference, he pulled the basketball behind in a dashing manner, needless to say, it must be to change hands to dribble.

is also a point guard, Dennis instantly guessed Zhang Feng's thoughts, and without waiting for Zhang Feng to change the ball to his left hand, he made a steal to the left side in advance, his eyes were firm, and he seemed to be determined to win.

As long as he doesn't take the initiative to steal, no matter how good the defender is, he will be in a passive state, even if he predicts in advance like Dennis, Zhang Feng can also make changes, such as twisting the ball behind his back.

What's the ball behind your back? To put it simply, it is to dribble the ball in one direction, but before the ball is out of your hand, use the strength of your wrist to pull the ball back, which requires great wrist strength and excellent ball feeling.

Since 'White Chocolate' Williams invented this move, there have only been a handful of people in the NBA who have been able to do the same thing, and Irving is one of them. Now Zhang Feng also had the idea to try to imitate, he had never practiced before, but he didn't expect to succeed in the first attempt to imitate.

"Ouch, I'm grass" Embiid on the bench stood up with his head in his hands, his eyes full of incredulity.

"It's too hanging, I can't do it," Simmons sighed, shaking his head.

"You know how powerful our boss is, right?" Buddy bragged on the sidelines.

The bench of the world team was jubilant, and the bench of the American team was a little silent, just now Smith made a steal in advance, Kuzma and Ball had already stood up and were ready to applaud, but they didn't expect Zhang Feng to show a comical operation, resulting in Smith not only not succeeding in the steal, but also being passed by Zhang Feng in one step.

After passing Smith, there was no one in front of Zhang Feng, and he didn't even think about making a three-point shot immediately and hitting!

A set of flowing dribbling, a weird twisting of the ball, a clean three-point, Zhang Feng did it like this, the fans have forgotten the difference in identity, they have no partiality for the time being, and applauded.

"Is there such a big gap? Why don't they cheer when I score a goal," Embiid was very depressed.

"Maybe the audience has been holding back for so long, they can't help it, they are eccentric, but not blind," Simmons explained with a smile.

"Maybe it's still my boss," Buddy continued to brag.

The U.S. team attacked again, Smith put the ball over the halfway line, and then handed it to Mitchell, Mitchell tried to move, Morley did not move, Mitchell began to dribble under his crotch, and Murray bent over to defend.

Two seconds later, Mitchell found his rhythm, he saw the moment when Murray was out of position, accelerated and broke through in an instant, rushed to the inside and turned around Markkanen, who was covering the defense, and finally pulled up the onion on the dry ground and dunked.

โ€œo๏ผŒhat a dunk!โ€

Seeing Mitchell's successful dunk, ESPN's courtside beauty commented Katie Roland applauded, and Brin next to her also applauded and said: "This ball is so beautiful, it's simply the first rookie talent in this year."

Mitchell's dunk is really wonderful, Miller wants to praise a few words, but Brin said that Mitchell is the first rookie talent in this year, he is a little unhappy, a fan knows that Zhang Feng is the first rookie talent in this year, and the best rookie this season must be Zhang Feng.

Of course, apart from Zhang Feng, Mitchell does have no opponent, and even Simmons, a repeater who has achieved triple-doubles many times, cannot pose a threat to Mitchell.

Thinking of several rookies, Miller couldn't help but sigh: "Judging from this rookie challenge, the performance of this rookie is really unexpected."

"Well, the most highly anticipated champion Fultz was seriously injured and reimbursed, Ball did not play the expected performance at all, Tanhua Tatum was decently trained by Stevens, Josh Jackson of the fourth pick had no bright spots, Zhang Feng of the fifth was a blockbuster, and the sixth pick of Exa was delayed by the Magic management......"

Speaking of rookies, Brin talked a lot about it, but the core point is still one: Mitchell is better than Zhang Feng.

Miller really didn't expect that he just sighed, Brin could use the question to play 'step on' Zhang Feng, he was very unhappy, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only change the topic and say: "It looks like the world team intends to shoot more three-pointers."

As Miller said, after Mitchell's dunk, Zhang Feng and Bogdan scored three points in a row for the world team, and the difference between the two teams widened in an instant.

The U.S. team attacked again, Smith decided to come by himself, he slowly dribbled against Zhang Feng's defense to find opportunities, and a strong head-on breakthrough was unlikely, he had understood this in the three encounters with Zhang Feng in the regular season, and he could only walk around the outside line and watch.

After going around for most of the lap and still not finding the right opportunity, Smith had no choice but to hand over Donovan, and then made a pick-and-roll. It was originally an exhibition match, and the world team was a lot ahead, and Murray didn't plan to chase the defense, so he raised his hand to Zhang Feng to signal to change the defense.

After changing defenses, Zhang Feng faced Mitchell, and the two instantly entered a heads-up state.

The Kings have only played the Jazz once this season, but that time, Zhang Feng single-handedly broke the Jazz. Prior to that fight, Mitchell was seen as a strong contender for Rookie of the Year and after that fight, it was basically difficult for Mitchell to be compared to Zhang.

It can be said that Zhang Feng single-handedly reversed the fans' and media's perception of Mitchell, which not only made Mitchell's reputation worse, but also invisibly stopped many advertisements that were ready to ask Mitchell to be an endorsement.

It's unbearable to cut off people's money, but now that the revenge has been sent back, and it is on such a big stage, Mitchell decided to take out 12 points of ability to win Zhang Feng in heads-up.
