Chapter 220: Russell's guidance is really powerful
The difference between Horford and Zhang Feng's body size is too big, not to mention that Zhang didn't sprint in three steps, just jumped and dunked, and he himself bent over to prepare well, but he was knocked out by a solid sturdy.
"Grass! How will you mix in the NBA after this? I was knocked off by a little point guard! Lying on the ground, Horford had thousands of divine beasts roaring in his mind, and he didn't have facial convulsions because of the pain at that moment, but he had no face to get up and face everyone and had to pretend to be in pain.
"Are you ok?", Zhang Feng walked quickly to Horford and squatted down, asking about the injury.
Horford pretended not to hear it, and continued to cover his chest, Zhang Feng didn't know why, so he could only say to himself:
"How can you cover your chest and face when your left arm is hit by a body?"
"yes, that's weird," Baines answered.
It's embarrassing, it's so embarrassing! As soon as Horford heard this, he knew it was self-defeating.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine, I just had a little tightness in my chest," Horford scrambled to his feet, trying to cover it up before his teammates and coaches came over.
"Go catch the ball", Horford directed Baines to enter, and at the same time glanced at the referee, who nodded to indicate that he could attack.
I don't know if it's too anxious, Horford threw the ball out before Baines could turn around.
"Is this to give me a steal?" , Zhang Feng looked at the basketball on the ground and almost didn't react, and Baines was hit by the basketball and turned around depressedly.
Now it's okay, Zhang Feng, Horford, and Baines stood in a triangle, staring at the basketball in a daze.
"Grab the ball!" Celtics fans on the sidelines waved their fists and shouted excitedly.
With this roar, the three of them pounced on the basketball at the same time, Zhang Feng was fast and low in height, and after he grabbed the ball, he bowed down and dribbled away from Horford and Baines.
"Bang!" , Horford and Baines collided with each other, and such a mistake made the young coach Stevens on the sidelines wide-eyed, shook his head and sighed.
The defender steals the serve and turns into an offensive player in an instant, and in this unguarded situation, Zhang Feng easily scored 2 points.
Before the first quarter was played, Zhang Feng had 2 blocks and 2 steals, and those who didn't know thought he was a player who started defense.
"It seems that Russell's senior's guidance has greatly improved Zhang Feng's defensive level", O'Neal sat in the live broadcast room and laughed happily, he only selected Bill Russell into his all-time strongest 5-man group before the game, and now he can take it out and blow it to show his level.
"It's too early, this steal is a Celtics mistake, and it can't be counted", Barkley always jumped out to scold O'Neal every minute, but this time O'Neal just glanced at him: "As long as Zhang Feng wants to, he can steal 10 times."
The Cavaliers on the court attacked again, and Irving, considering that the two interior players were still a little delirious, lowered the tempo, dribbling back and forth from the three-point line and waiting for his teammates to run.
The Carts are still the same old routine, Baines has no ball cover, Tatum runs with Justin on the baseline, and Jaylen Brown runs in the opposite direction of Tatum, one is that the players of the two teams shuttle back and forth in time, and Zhang Feng is a little dizzy.
No matter how complicated things are, there is a pattern to be found, Zhang Feng decided to focus on Owen again, as long as Owen passes, he can immediately turn back to the bag, of course, this requires his teammates not to be more embarrassed.
Fortunately, Zhang Feng's slam dunk just now brought the momentum back, Willy and Randolph stuck to the inside line and did not leave, Bogdan and Justin ran the whole court and did not follow their people, which made Owen unable to find a passing opportunity and could only continue to work alone.
The moment he saw Owen bending over, Zhang Feng also moved, he didn't plan to let Owen drive the rhythm, he forced Owen directly from the right side, he left Owen two choices: one is to make a strong shot, and the other is to break through on the left side to give himself a chance to steal.
The emptiness on the left side made Owen happy, he didn't want to rush to the left with a back dribble, Zhang Feng directly forced to grab, Owen was unstable in controlling the ball, and the basketball rolled out of the court on his feet.
The change brought to a halt to the runners of both teams, and Bogdan and Jaylen Brown, who were closest to each other, both pounced on the ball.
Zhang Feng did not choose to join the army of rushing to the ground like Owen, he went around in front of the three in advance, and saw that the hands of the three were on top of the basketball, Zhang Feng bent down and walked away with the ball in both hands.
What the hell is it okay for? Before the referee had time to blow the whistle for jumping the ball, Zhang Feng actually snatched the ball away like this, and the three of Owen, Bogdan, and Jaylen Brown on the ground had the same idea: "Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?" ”。
There was no one to defend again, and Zhang Feng whistled and scored 2 points on a layup.
Time out! Stevens couldn't stand it, and the Celtics conceded just 94.5 points in the first seven games of the season, which is the league's most defensive efficiency. But in tonight's game, their proud defense was actually beaten into a sieve by Zhang Feng alone, and three consecutive scores were unguarded, if someone watched a basketball game for the first time, it was hard to think that basketball had no defense.
On the King's side, David said 20 seconds of encouraging words as usual: "Keep the passion, continue to defend well, can't they score easily", and the remaining 50 seconds were handed over to Zhang Feng to encourage his teammates.
"Next, I will continue to scare them, you follow my rhythm and let them know how powerful the king is"
"No problem!"
After the timeout, Irving handed the ball to Jaylen Brown to control, and he himself ran without the ball, and Zhang Feng had to chase after him.
"Are you going to use the Pacers' tactics against me?" Zhang Feng had a bad premonition in his heart.
Some things are not very good to guess, the Celtics really used the tactics of containing Zhang Feng to attack, Owen smiled and looked at Zhang Feng with a smile, as if to say: "You continue to steal!" ”
Jaylen Brown controlled the ball from the outside, and the rest of the Celtics covered the run as usual. Finally, Tatum got rid of Justin's pass with 2 man walls, and he cut straight inside and made a three-step layup.
Do you want to help defend, what if he passes it to Owen? Zhang Feng was in a dilemma.
"The most important thing to defend is to always think about defense," Russell's words rang in Zhang Feng's ears.
"!" , Zhang Feng turned around and gave up Irving, jumped up with a brisk step, and held the ball down before Jaylen Brown dunked.
Block or foul? The referee blows the whistle to signal a timeout and they need to check the footage.
"Charles, do you think it's a block or a foul, if it's a block, then Zhang Feng has 3 steals and 3 blocks in the first quarter, if this is not due to Mr. Russell, it really can't be said"
"Well, we'll have to see the live replay again," Barkley rubbed his chin irritably in response to Kenny's question.
"Don't look at it, if it weren't for the block, I would have eaten my phone, Zhang Feng's defense has improved a lot, and Mr. Russell's guidance is too powerful" O'Neal shook his head and sighed.
