Chapter 450: Oladipo who will never admit it
The game started in a flash, and for Zhang Feng, the only thing that could repay the fans was a wonderful game performance.
In the center circle, Costa faced Miles Turner, the two were about the same height, but Turner was much lighter, and he relied on the advantage of bounce speed to easily flick the ball to Oladipo.
Oladipo has improved a lot from the meeting at the beginning of the season, and his ability to be named to the All-Star team with Irving, Wall, Lowry, Walker, and Beal in the East is enough to show how great he is.
But Zhang Feng has also become a lot stronger, compared to being led by the nose by the Pacers at the beginning, now he can firmly control the situation on the court, and he can also change his tactics in time according to the changes of the opponent.
The two are facing each other again, and it is simply an enhanced version against an evolved version.
I saw Oladipo bring the ball to the top of the arc, he didn't call for a pick-and-roll, and when Turner rushed into the inside, he dribbled straight to the right to find a breakthrough opportunity, and Zhang Feng could only follow closely with small steps.
Suddenly, Oladipo stopped his progress and twisted his right shoulder to send the ball to his back. Seeing this action, Zhang Feng subconsciously moved sideways to the right, wanting to prevent him from changing direction and breaking through.
Who knows, Oladipo did not slap the ball on the floor, but directly shook his right hand and passed the ball to Miles Turner, who defended Turner, like Zhang Feng, did not react at all, and could only watch Turner score with both hands.
"Wow, this violent deduction has silenced the Golden One Center, which is a bit out of place with the lively atmosphere before the start of the game", in the ESPN live broadcast room, the famous host Max, who was swept away by Zhang Feng, laughed weirdly, not hiding his gloating at all, but Maddie and Pippen on the side did not speak,
On the field, Zhang Feng took the ball through the half, just now he made a mistake in judgment, allowing Oladipo to easily assist and play momentum, which made the fans on the scene worried, this attack He said that he would have to make up for it, not only this time, but also next time, he will continue to play hard.
He waved for Costa not to come forward to cover, then shook his head to stop the Kings from pulling away, and began to dribble under his crotch outside the 3-point line.
As his crotch changed hands faster, the shaking of his shoulders gradually increased, and it looked like he could break through at any moment.
Oladipo still followed the swing at first, and when he found that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm, he simply spread his hands and let Zhang Feng shake.
But at the moment when he put down his hands, Zhang Feng immediately stopped changing hands and dribbled, like lightning, and took a step to the right to clean him up.
After cutting straight into the paint area from the right side at 45 degrees, Zhang Feng was blocked by Turner and Bojan, and Costa and Lefu were completely unguarded.
Just when everyone thought that he would pass the ball like Oladipo did, Zhang Feng unexpectedly gave up the ball with both hands to accelerate the run, flew into the air like a helicopter without a starting process, faced the defense of Turner and Bojan, dunked the ball into the hoop, and added a free throw.
"It's so brutal that he plays the regular game like a slam dunk contest?" Maddie's face was full of surprise.
"Almost, after all, the entire Golden One Arena has blown up, and it can be selected for the non-human dunk reel," Pippen nodded.
"The slam dunk just now ranked 6th, and the top 5 are the 5 he performed in the slam dunk contest"
"Totally agree!"
Maddie and Pippen chatted with great interest, and the expression on Max's face, who had been mocking earlier, was cloudy and ugly.
After completing the free throw, Zhang Feng did not choose to return to defense, but walked to Oladipo's side, making it clear that he wanted to start pressing from the backcourt, but strangely, he waved his hand to signal that the other Kings players did not have to be like him.
Oladipo was born in the list, was a potential star of the Magic, and also served as a bargaining chip for the Thunder to trade George, and now he has become the boss of the Pacers, he has seen everything, Zhang Feng did this, he has no reason to coax.
Since he didn't coward, he would definitely not pass the ball, he went around left and right, and finally found a suitable position to receive Turner's baseline pass, and then accelerated the dribble and rushed to the frontcourt.
But his speed was a little slower than Zhang Feng, and when the two were about to get close to the halfline, Zhang Feng got a chance to reach out and poke the basketball.
The strength was not much, but under this stab, the basketball that was already running at high speed immediately changed its trajectory and went straight to the outside of the court, and Oladipo subconsciously bent down to rescue.
He touched the basketball in his hand, but he couldn't hold it in his hand, he didn't save it, not to mention, and it became him himself touching the ball out of bounds, and when the referee's whistle sounded, the ball belonged to the king.
Although he didn't score, Zhang Feng's suffocating defense still won the applause of the fans at the scene.
After the king attacked again and stopped the ball at the top of the arc, Zhang Feng raised his hand to signal a double-block tactic, and Lefu and Costa immediately raised the elbow area to cover.
Relying on continuous cover, Zhang Feng easily got rid of Oladipo, and turned his head to face Bojan, who had changed defenses.
The small one played the big one, naturally taking advantage of speed and rhythm, he thought about pausing a little at the left free throw line, and then made a gesture to shoot, and when Bojan raised his hand to interfere, he immediately made a 'worship' move to the basket.
"Why is he so skilled at doing this? I wasn't as smooth as him in my best state in those years," Maddie said, with a little unwillingness.
"I don't care about this, I'm quite worried about the fans at the scene, Zhang Feng plays so big every time he attacks, the fans have to scream every time, after a game, how can Zhang Feng attack 30 times, isn't the fans' voices going to shout explosions?" Pippen spread his hands, his eyes wide.
Maddie nodded in agreement to Pippen's question, and the two chatted with great interest, and Max didn't have a chance to interject a few words.
The Yibian Pacers attacked again, facing Zhang Feng's defense, Oladipo was still not convinced, he rushed forward from the backcourt against Zhang Feng, and it took several large body forward changes to take the ball over the half court 8 seconds ago.
But even after halftime, as soon as he slowed down the dribble, Zhang Feng immediately forced him, and in desperation, he could only pass the ball to Corey Joseph.
Just when everyone thought Oladipo had confessed, he ran to Joseph again, took the basketball by hand-to-hand, and then took the shot through Joseph's cover.
I don't know if he shot too slowly, or Zhang Feng jumped too fast and too high, as soon as the basketball came out of his hand, Zhang Feng was fanned by Zhang Feng and flew directly to the back of the audience.
"How can this be fought? Zhang Feng is back in the second quarter of the All-Star Game, no one can pass, no one can stop it, the Pacers may have to give up this game tactically" Maddie shook his head again and again, as a former superstar, he knew that Zhang Feng's current state was unmatched.
"It's too fast, it's too high, it's too strong, the other guards may only have a lighter and smaller advantage against Zhang Feng, and I also think the Pacers should give up tactically, after all, they have a very difficult schedule ahead," Pippen shook his head and sighed.
