Chapter 220: Showdown with Owen

North Shore Gardens, the Kings have a six-game winning streak and are away against the Celtics, who have won five in a row. Although the winning streak between the two teams is not too long, one team will be put to an end tonight. Obviously, most of the fans thought the team was going to be the kings, and some Celtic fans had already raised their 6-0 signs, cheering as if the entire North Shore Gardens were already celebrating the victory.

"Charles, what do you think of tonight's game?"

"Do you want me to tell the truth? Will this hurt Shaq's feelings? ”。

"No need to be cynical, it's normal for the Kings to beat the Celtics, and my hope today is that Zhang Feng will not fall behind in the matchup."

"Are you serious? Kenny, did you hear that? Shaq thinks Zhang Feng can make a draw with Owen! ”

β€œem…… I heard that Russell taught Zhang Feng some defensive skills before the game, and maybe Shaq's sudden confidence comes from this."

"Oh, really? I didn't get this opportunity when I played, so it's enviable."

"Kenny, I don't mean that, my confidence in Zhang Feng comes from the heads-up game after the end of the summer league, the heads-up game at Beverly Hills, Zhang Feng shaved Owen's bald head"

"I remembered what you said, it seems to be an 11-0, and Owen left the game in a huff."

"So, are you on Shaq's side today? Can Street heads-up be confused with regular competition? ”

"Charles, don't worry about these details, let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams"

"This is simply an all-round hanging, Randolph vs. Horford doesn't need me to say you know who is better, small forward position Tatum is complete with Justin, the two teams of centers Aaron Baines and Willie are comparable, the only place where the Kings may have an advantage in the opposition is that Bogdan has a good promotion rate, as for the point guard."

"The point guard is 55 open, don't believe it, let's see"

"Shaq, you're forcibly 55 open"

At the end of the opening ceremony, the two teams officially entered, and as soon as Zhang Feng stood in his position, Owen next to him said:

"I still remember the last time I was a clean sheet."

Although Owen didn't say much, this was undoubtedly a naked 'threat', Zhang Feng just smiled and didn't answer.

Willie and Baines battled for it, but in the end, the King managed to steal and get the first offensive possession.

In the face of Irving's direct defense, Zhang Feng did not panic, he first dribbled behind his back and switched to the right side, and then made an emergency stop to change direction to the left side and successfully reached the 45-degree three-point line on the left side.

The left side is not Zhang Feng's habitual position, but today he wants to create opportunities for Randolph and Justin first, so Horford on the left side is his target to break through.

Irving originally didn't know how to defend closely, he rarely formed like this in the Cavaliers, but after the Celtics became the leader, he took on these responsibilities, and what he wanted was to directly break through Zhang Feng's defense and hit the king's momentum hard.

The two had their own thoughts, and they both stared at each other. Seeing that Owen moved his shoulders because of his feint of pulling the ball, Zhang Feng directly bowed down with his left foot to exert force, changed his direction and broke through the right side, Owen forcibly retracted his left-leaning body and moved sideways to the right to intercept.

The master made a move, and the victory or defeat was between a fraction of a second, and Zhang Feng was a little bit faster and successfully broke through Owen.

After reaching the free throw line, Zhang Feng held the ball in both hands, dodged the oncoming Baines with an ultra-long-distance jump, and successfully stuffed the ball to Willy.

Willy took the ball strongly, but was blocked by Horford, but fortunately, Randolph Mantis caught the cicada and the yellow finch easily grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and completed the violent dunk on Horford's head.

This slam dunk brought the shouts of the North Shore Garden fans to an abrupt end, and Horford, who was about to raise his hands in celebration, walked away stupidly, Irving looked guilty, he felt that he didn't prevent Zhang Feng and caused a lot of trouble to his teammates.

The Celtics attacked, and Irving quickly reached the three-point line, and with a wave of his hand, his teammates pulled away. Needless to say, Owen is going to play alone, Zhang Feng moved his eyebrows and put on a standard single defense posture.

"Do you think Carey can break through him?" , what about the VIP room in the stadium, Celtic owner Vic asked casually. Sitting next to Vic was Danny Angie, who clasped his hands and thought for a while before answering: "It's difficult, Zhang Feng can't even defend Kobe, and Kyrie wants to succeed in singles, the odds are too low."

This negative evaluation of his own players did not make Vic have the slightest mood swing, and his right hand kept rubbing against his face, apparently thinking quickly about something.

At this point, Irving is using his signature one-man move, the quick crotch dribble, which he has been using to force defenders into his rhythm and then wait for an opportunity to break through to the layup or step back to shoot.

Inside defenders look at the arm span, outside defenders look at the lateral speed, if these two indicators are very powerful, it is a top defensive player, and it happens that Zhang Feng is like this, so he was not dizzy by Owen's dribbling, but just stared at Owen's feet to observe which foot he exerted.

With 10 seconds left in the offensive time, Owen's continuous crotch dribbling did not work, and he was ready to choose to force a breakthrough like Zhang Feng, but the moment he raised his left foot to become larger, Zhang Feng bent down and reached out to his right side.

"Danny, as I told you, this ball actually managed to steal", Vic changed his sitting position and lifted Erlang's legs.

"It was a gambling steal, it didn't fully reflect his defensive strength, I was curious to see what skills the old man taught him at noon, I don't know if it can be reflected in this game"

After stealing Irving, Zhang Feng controlled the ball and ran wildly all the way, Irving gritted his teeth and chased after it, until the three-second zone Zhang Feng pretended to make a layup with his right hand to deceive Irving, and then turned around 180 degrees and successfully threw the ball in.

"Yo, isn't this Rondo's deal with Bosh? It's funny that he's learning and selling it and using it in the North Shore Gardens," Vic said with a smile, ordering a cigar.

was hit twice by Zhang Feng in a row, once was broken and once was stealed, which made Owen, who spoke cruelly before the game started, a little embarrassed, but his character of not admitting defeat made him choose to continue to single Zhang Feng.

This time, the fans of the entire North Shore Garden Arena held their breath, they were worried that Owen would still not score this ball, which would be too embarrassing and would definitely become a big joke for the Big 5.

Owen bent over, took a step forward with the ball with his left hand, Zhang Feng retreated slightly, Owen changed the ball again to his right hand and took a step forward, Zhang Feng still retreated slightly, and then the two repeated this action three times in a row, and Owen successfully broke through to the free throw line.

"Is this a move to stop and retreat and do another rookie challenge?" , veteran fans can see Owen's thoughts at once, and Owen clearly wants to replicate the goal that Huang Nate scored.

Sure enough, Irving didn't continue to go deep after bursting near the free throw line, but collected the ball and retreated, stepped back to the three-point line with his left foot, and shot directly with the ball in both hands.

β€œbang!”

Just when Irving was glad that the ball was finally about to be scored, the obscuring figure and crisp sound made him react - he was blocked, and Zhang Feng successfully risked it at the three-point line.

The players on the Kings' bench were ready to bow their heads, they felt that Zhang Feng's ball was shown off in a wave, but they saw this terrifying block in an instant, which made them collectively gasp.

On the Celtic side, Marcus Smart was about to get up and cheer, and this big risk also made him force Rokiel to sit down.
