As far as this Kings team is concerned, there is no doubt that Jin Feng is facing major pressure in the new season, and the reasons why Jin Feng is facing major pressure are well known.

In fact, there is one player on this team who is also under significant pressure for the new season, and he is third-year player Daron Fox, a young player that the Kings have focused on developing in recent seasons.

Everyone can see that Fox has a very good talent, and his growth in the past few seasons can be regarded as living up to the King's training.

However, what people know better is that Fox has a big drawback of being too possessive of the ball, and it seems that he can't play without the ball, although he needs the ball as a point guard, but it is clear that Fox is a little too sticky.

So when Jin Feng parachuted into the King, the compatibility between Jin Feng and Fox was also completely magnified, Jin Feng, as the core of the team, obviously needs to occupy the ball, and Fox is also a guy who likes sticky balls.

And if one of the two is chosen as a victim, it can only be Fox if nothing else, then the question is, can Fox still play well without the ball?

Many people have questioned this, and the Kings' previous preseason games have once again proved one thing, that is, Fox's overall performance is indeed declining compared to last season, and since then, what kind of performance Fox will have in the new season has become one of the focuses of attention.

Of course, Fox himself is very clear about the outside world's doubts about Fox, so Jin Feng can feel that during this time, Fox's mood is very low, even in the internal training game, all the Kings players, including Fox himself, found that his Fox performance was not bad.

Then, for Jin Feng, if he wants to lead the Kings further as the star of the team in the new season, he must solve this problem.

He needs to get Fox to really find his niche on this team so that Fox can play comfortably, and to make that happen, it has to start with this game.

Therefore, when he came out, Jin Feng high-fived all his teammates, and then patted Fox on the shoulder, in fact, Jin Feng knew very well that in this game, winning or losing is not very important, what matters is Fox's performance, as long as Fox can play a good performance, no matter whether the king wins or loses, they can more or less break free from the storm of public opinion.

So for Fox himself, the performance will only get better and better.

Players from both sides took to the pitch as Dwayne Dedmon and Whiteside battled for the ball.

The referee blew the whistle, the basketball flew high, Whiteside won the jump ball, and the game officially began.

Dragic kept controlling the ball outside the three-point line, and Jackson kept reaching out to interfere with Dragic outside the three-point line, but Dragic's offense was very strong, and in the first shot of the opening game, he directly pushed Jackson, resisted Jackson's defense, rushed into the interior, and completed the layup cleanly.

With two points, the Heat looked very good.

The Kings served in the backcourt, and Fox firmly controlled the ball to the frontcourt, looking quite a general.

However, Fox's poor performance in the preseason was already ingrained, so there was a burst of boos on the sidelines of the Arco Arena until Jin Feng went around to the top of the arc and took over the basketball.

Defending Jin Feng is Winslow, a player with good ability on the defensive end, obviously, from Winslow taking the initiative to face Jin Feng, it can be seen that he may be appointed by Spo to defend Jin Feng in this game.

The Heat has professional defensive players, but this ball, Jin Feng still played very resolutely.

Jin Feng took a step outside the three-second zone to dribble the ball, retreated and turned, then dribbled with his right hand to his left hand, turned his head to look at his left side, at this time, Jin Feng had completely attracted the Heat's defensive center of gravity, although there was no bag, but everyone's eyes were on Jin Feng.

Fox took an arrow step, passed through Jin Feng's left side, shook off Winslow, who was focused on Jin Feng, and rushed into the penalty area!

At the same time, Jin Feng made a ground pass and caught up with Fox, who received the ball and jumped up directly to dunk, with a bang, and an explosive sound sounded in the Heat's restricted area.

Then, with a bang, there was an exclamation in the Arco Arena, and the fans of the Kings had not yet reacted, but when they reacted, they did not cheer, because until now they can't believe that such a beautiful air-cut dunk was actually completed by Fox and Jin Feng together!

"Daron Fox made a beautiful open cut dunk! That's great! Worthy of Fox! The DJ at the scene couldn't control so much, he directly raised his voice and shouted, and the scene finally cooperated with a burst of cheers.

Fox looked very excited, this ball meant a lot to him, jumped to the front, knocked his chest with Jin Feng, who assisted him, in celebration, and then raised his hand towards the sidelines.

A few fans were infected by Fox and seemed to have forgotten that Fox was the guy they violently questioned before the game.

According to one fan: "At the end of the day, Daron is also our player, isn't he? Our players played well and we deserve to be cheered. ”

An air-cut dunk helped Fox conquer some fans who had sprayed him, while Mark Jackson in the commentary box kept saying one word - "Actually!" ”

"Daron Fox actually completed an air-cut dunk, and he actually scored 2 points in the opening game? Isn't he unable to play without the ball? Mark Jackson looked incredulous, and obviously, he couldn't believe it was the same Fox who had been heavily questioned before the game

Mark Jackson hadn't watched Fox much, and now, Fox has shown a sense of generalism from ball control to key air cuts to dunks.

"Do you need to worry about such a performance?" Mark Jackson was a little puzzled, and he decided to keep watching.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

On the court, the Heat launched an offense, Dragic held the ball and forced Fox, who took advantage of his physical advantage and stuck the position.

Dragic's attack was unfavorable, so he naturally thought of passing, Tevez shook off Jin Feng with the help of cover, rushed to a 45-degree angle and opened his hand to ask, Dragic reached out and was ready to pass the ball to Tevez.

But at this moment, Fox predicted Dragic's pass in advance, and then, with a long arm, he snapped!

People only saw the orange basketball bounce off the original flight path in an instant, and then Fox rushed out with an arrow and slapped the bounced basketball, at this time, the fans at the scene really reacted, and they suddenly burst into cheers.

Mark Jackson also just reacted, and Jeff Van Gundy was obviously a little more in shape, he directly grabbed in front of Mark Jackson and shouted: "Steal! From Daron Fox! ”

Then, Mark Jackson also shouted: "Daron Fox, worthy of Darlon!" He steals Dragic! Aggro! ”

Fox's speed was not fast, but he grabbed an opportunity, so when he rushed to the front court with crazy possession, there was still no defender around, and when he jumped up for a layup, Dragic behind him waved his hand in vain, and Fox still made a successful layup and scored 2 points.

"Steal and break fast, score 2 points, Daron Fox is fantastic!"

Mark Jackson has almost forgotten the pre-game doubts about Fox, and he is even a little skeptical now, did the reporter who wrote those articles about Fox not play without the ball actually watched the game? With these two goals alone, as the main member of the former "Black Eight" Golden State Warriors, Mark Jackson can be sure that Fox definitely does not need to be questioned, and the new season is even promising!

After Fox steals the fast break, he continues to celebrate wildly, he is so excited, two consecutive balls, 4 points in a row, plus a steal, Fox has conquered the Arco Arena, and the cheers can finally be completely vented! The entire arena was filled at once.

The Heat withstood this cheer to re-serve on the baseline and reorganize the offense, Dragic was a lot more careful, dribbled through, and then stopped the jump shot, he still wanted to hit Fox for a ball, but Fox was very old-fashioned, and directly used his body to stick to Dragic, and when Dragic made a jump shot, Fox pulled back again and directly blocked Dragic's shooting angle.

With a bang, the ball hit the iron directly.

There was a shout from the inside, and Whiteside was about to grab the rebound against Dedmon, but suddenly, Jin Feng came out from the side, jumped high, stretched out his hand, and took the rebound.

"Attack!" Jin Feng shouted, and then immediately threw the basketball to Fox, Fox held the ball, and after a rush of dribbling, he rushed to the front court, attracted the defense, and directly distributed the ball to the other side, Jackson adjusted his posture in the middle distance, and then threw an empty shot, and hit it with a bang!

Then, the Heat's offense still didn't score, and Tevez made a mid-range shot against Jin Feng's defense, but he didn't score.

This time, it was Fox who grabbed the rebound.

As a result, for several rounds in a row, Fox had all kinds of data in the account, and even the fans who were originally clamoring to question Fox on the sidelines were a little skeptical.

"4 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal, is this still the guy who was questioned?" Some people couldn't believe it.

Some people cheered for Fox directly: "Dalong! Attaboy! Rush Rush! ”

And just when everyone's attention was on Fox, the king scored again, this time it was finally Jin Feng's turn to score, the king grabbed the rebound and played a fast break again, Jin Feng took the basketball and ran to the frontcourt, the Heat quickly retreated, and when they saw Jin Feng rushing over frantically, they retreated to the inside line one by one.

took Jin Feng and rushed outside the three-point line, stopped directly, a slow three-pointer, and went in again with a bang! The Kings directly hit the Heat a 9:0! The score also directly became 9:2! Kings lead by 7 points!

This is not over, Heat head coach Spo stood on the sidelines and kept shouting, directing the Heat's offense.

But the Heat were also a little impatient at this time, Dragic controlled the ball outside, and directly cooperated with Winslow, Fox switched to Winslow, Winslow broke through against Fox, and as a result, Fox came out quickly, snapped, and it was another steal.

Quickly attacking to the frontcourt, Jin Feng's speed was faster, Fox in the back threw the ball up, Jin Feng in front jumped high, took the basketball in the air, and dunked it into the basket!

"Empty Catch! A steal from Darlon! As well as assists! The DJs shouted, cheered, and broke through the roof of the arena!

"Daron Fox's second steal and second assist of the game! The race has just begun! Mark Jackson shouted, and Jeff Van Gundy then laughed and said: "Fox was so good, he was questioned a lot before the game, maybe he has turned those doubts into motivation, but one thing is for sure, Fox is certainly not a player who only plays with the ball!" ”

Mark Jackson nodded immediately, although he was also laughing at Fox before the game, but after watching so many balls in a row, he also knew that he was being led by those unscrupulous reporters.

11:2! The Kings scored 11 points in a row, and Spo couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout directly, while Mark Jackson thought that Spo's timeout should have been a little earlier, because from the King's second fast break to grab the rebound, the King's momentum came out.

"The Kings stopped the Heat at the beginning, the outcome of this game is far from certain, and now we can even say that the Kings have a better chance of winning!"

Jeff Van Gundy said, and Mark Jackson continued to nod his head.

The timeout ended quickly, and Spo didn't make much adjustments, he just let Tevez get the ball more and attack more, hoping to end this scoring drought with the help of the star.

However, after the timeout, the two teams first fell into a wave of iron battles, first Winslow broke through the long shot to hit the iron, Jin Feng's mid-range shot also smashed to the edge of the basket, and then Tevez's layup continued to miss, and Jackson's mid-range shot also missed.

Jin Feng broke through Winslow's defense, rushed to the inside to complete the layup, and finally scored 2 points, and the king led the Heat by 11 points 13:2, expanding the difference to double digits.

Spo stood nervously on the sidelines, this time he didn't shout, just hugged his chest and watched the team's attack, looking very good.

Tevez flashed Jin Feng's defense and shot in the middle!

But, with a bang, it still struck iron......

Spo only felt his heart tremble violently, and then suddenly opened his mouth wide: "Rebound!" Backboard! ”

But Fox, who rushed inside, once again put the rebound into his arms, and his second rebound of the game, 4 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, Fox's various statistics are rising in tandem.

After grabbing the rebound, the Heat's defense was fast, and perhaps this was the only role of Spo's pause, because the Kings continued to play fast breaks, so Spo emphasized the quick defense.

Fox controlled the ball and looked for opportunities on the outside, Jin Feng also ran two laps, but did not find any vacancy, he went around again, from the bottom corner to the top of the arc, ready to cooperate with Fox hand-to-hand.

However, after the block at the top of the arc, the Heat directly let go of Fox, but instead strictly guarded Jin Feng.

So, Fox did not hand over the ball to Jin Feng, but controlled the ball himself and rushed to the penalty area.

Whiteside quickly made up for it, and Mark Jackson shouted, "Fox's breakaway, turn around and go to the basket!" Fouled! ”

The referee blew the whistle, Whiteside fouled, and the basketball bounced twice on the basket before it bounced off and didn't go in, but there were two more free throws.

As Fox stepped to the free-throw line, a tidal wave of cheers rang out from Arco's arena, and it was clear that Fox had proven himself and conquered the Kings' fans.

However, in the midst of this noisy cheer, Fox's first free throw was actually missed, but fortunately he adjusted and hit the second free throw accurately, and the score rose by 1 point.

Then, Dragic controlled the ball, and the fast-handed Fox made another steal, and by the way, he swiped an assist, the third steal and the third assist, he assisted Jin Feng to complete a fast-break layup, and the Kings continued to lead 16:2.

The Heat's offense was still struggling, and Spo was constantly walking back and forth on the sidelines, trailing by 14 points in the opening period, and if it hadn't just called a timeout, maybe Spo couldn't help but call a timeout again.

In the Heat's frontcourt, Winslow rushed inside against Jackson's defense, then slammed into the basket and threw the basketball to the basket.

Spo was about to cheer, and in his opinion, Winslow's layup must have gone in, and they could finally break the scoring drought!

But, with a bang, the basketball smashed on the rebound, and then flew straight out, and Winslow's hand slipped!

Spo's cheer was stuck in his throat and didn't go in, and he wanted to shout: "Rebound!" Backboard! But this time he couldn't shout!
