Chapter 80: Responding to "Daddy Ball"

There are many ways to throw the ball on the court, and Donovan's way of throwing the ball to his teammates is when the offensive time is almost over. The fans' eyes were bright, and they booed one after another, and Donovan's face became even more ugly when he heard the boos.

What's worse is that Nigel rushed to Mason's defense after receiving the pass, and ended up throwing a three-pointer, which made Donovan and Nigel very embarrassed.

Jazz coach Zack Guthrie kept shaking his head, he called a timeout, and gave Donovan a hard drill.

At the end of the timeout, the two sides fought again, and Mason handed the ball over the half court to Zhang Feng, who stopped near the three-point line to dribble in the same way. Donovan's face was cloudy when he saw this, but he seemed to grit his teeth, and then motioned to his teammates that he was going to take the heads-up, and Zhang Feng also nodded and motioned for the Kings to open up space.

It seems that Donovan is sincere and angry, Zhang Feng exactly chose to dribble under his crotch to find a chance to break through, Donovan looked at Zhang Feng intently with his breath, and his defense was very good. What Donovan thought in his heart was that he couldn't let Zhang Feng pass him, and his center of gravity was very low.

In basketball defense, when the ball carrier has not yet started to move, if the defender's center is too high, it is easy to be broken closely, on the contrary, if the defender's center is too low, it is easy to be the ball carrier's dry pull jump shot, compared with the two, the hit of the dry pull jump shot is obviously much lower, so most defenders will choose to press the center.

However, Zhang Feng did not choose to pull out the jumper, but chose to break through to the right, everyone thought that Zhang Feng wanted to rely on the speed advantage to break through Donova, but the situation changed rapidly, Zhang Feng's breakthrough route was not to enter the inside line in depth, but to choose to travel along the three-point line, to the right side of the 45 degrees, a look to Mason, Mason will be aware of the reverse run to the left. Zhang Feng directly gave the ball to Mason, and also blocked Nigel, who had just reacted and wanted to follow the defense, so Zhang Feng and Mason played a pass to block and cooperate.

Mason, who was undisturbed, chose to shoot from outside the 3-point line, and the basketball went into the net in a hollow line, and the Kings started with a 5-0 lead.

Donovan trembled angrily, he didn't expect Zhang Feng to play himself again, it looked like he chose to pass and block the ball as a heads-up result, at this moment he was like eating fish and being stuck in his throat by a bone, he couldn't say a word, Coach Zach kept shaking his head off the court.

Zhang Feng walked up to Donovan and said softly:

"Don't just mock people, because it tends to make yourself more ugly."

Although Donovan was angry, he didn't make an irrational move, just walked to the backcourt with his eyes wide open and prepared to receive the ball and attack.

-------------------------------------

In the TNT studio, the three Buckley were discussing fiercely whether Zhang Feng's behavior just now was excessive.

"I want to emphasize that Zhang Feng is a good player, I really appreciate his skills, but his behavior is a bit excessive, he is deliberately making Donovan angry, this is not a traditional sense of the word, but a humiliating imitation" Barkley said sonorously and mercilessly.

O'Neal shook his head: "On the NBA court, there is no behavior that is humiliating, only inferior skills, if I was shown by Zhang Feng three times today, I will not go to bed before two o'clock in the morning tonight, I will practice a hundred times, a thousand times."

"You're kidding, we all know it, after all, it's Shaq you said you're too talented to train," Kenny teased with a laugh.

"It's two different things, because I've never been shown like this before, and three times in a row, remember, three times in a row," O'Neill emphasized.

"We all know that you are the awesome Shaq O'Neal, you don't need to emphasize this matter many times, the current situation is that Zhang Feng not only did it in action, but also said trash talk" Barkley is not reluctant to prove his point.

"I remember Charles Barkley once said that the current league is not as tough as it used to be, so could Barkley, the tough representative of the former league, tell me that it is humiliating to talk trash?" O'Neill slapped the table to defend Zhang Feng's words and deeds.

"OK, OK, everyone calm down, the game will continue, whether Zhang Feng's behavior is excessive or not, we still have a lot of time to discuss after the end" Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two was getting worse, Kenny quickly called out to stop the debate.

---------------------------------

The game has been in the fourth quarter, the Kings began to suppress the Jazz from the beginning, Jazz coach Zach made many adjustments and the situation was still not ideal, after the Kings scored 3 in a row at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Kings score reached 102, and the Jazz only had a pitiful 81 points, which was the difference in points after the Jazz counterattacked a wave of 10-0 small climax at the end of the third quarter.

Seeing that there was no hope of winning, the Jazz replaced the main players of the summer league, and Kings coach Turner also replaced Zhang Feng and other main players after seeing the Jazz give up.

The game ended in a flash, the Kings reached the Las Vegas Summer League round of 16, tomorrow they will win today with the eight teams against the top eight of the summer league ordinary schedule, because of the three consecutive days of games, the Kings players urgently need to rest, leaving only Zhang Feng and Turner for interviews, and the others went directly back to the hotel.

There were domestic reporters in this interview, Zhang Feng was very happy, he has not officially accepted an interview with domestic reporters since the draft. The interviewer is Teng Xun, a reporter from the front.

"First of all, congratulations to Zhang Feng, your team won this game and advanced to the round of 16 of this summer league, throughout the game, the Kings played very easily, do you have any secrets?" Teng Xun asked the reporter.

Zhang Feng scratched his head, thinking that this guy was bullying foreigners who couldn't understand Chinese, but he actually directly picked out that it was very easy to win, he smiled awkwardly and said:

"Thanks to the good tactics of the coach and the good cooperation of our teammates, we withstood the stubborn offense of the Jazz team and finally won."

After listening to Zhang Feng, Teng Xun put the microphone to his mouth, wanted to say something but didn't say it, and then he laughed himself:

"Oops, it's really embarrassing, I wanted to flip it just now, but today I was interviewing Chinese players, and I didn't think about what this was going to translate."

What Teng Xun reporter said reflects the current situation to a certain extent, since Yi Jianlian has not had a Chinese player standing on the NBA court for a long time, but fortunately, there are 3 Chinese players at once this summer, Ding Yanyuhang on behalf of the Mavericks, Zhou Qi on behalf of the Rockets, and Zhang Feng on behalf of the Kings participated in the summer league respectively, which is a situation that Chinese journalists who can only interview foreign players after the game in the past have never thought of, so just now Teng Xun reporter will react mechanically to translate.

Then the reporter Teng Xun asked some more questions and ended the interview, and Zhang Feng and Turner also hurried back to the hotel where the team was stationed.

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Mason went to Zhang Feng's room, took out his mobile phone and said:

"Hey, Peak, that ball dad tweeted that you didn't respect the Nuggets players and also quoted Barkley, do you want to respond to him".

Originally, Zhang Feng thought that Mason was in a hurry to find him for something urgent, but he didn't expect it to be a boring Twitter show of the ball daddy, so he directly lay down on the bed and said:

"You tell him if your 15 assists today are a point guard instinct, and tell him not to talk about any respect or disrespect, and I will play the same against Lonzo Ball, and if he thinks it is disrespectful, I will apologize to him in advance."
