Chapter 100: The First Real Showdown
Barkley was confused by Zhang Feng's words, and he thought to himself, is Zhang Feng still his fan? You have to hug one, I'm still too strict, and I accidentally hurt the fans.
Kobe Bryant smiled when he saw Barkley's expression and said, "Don't get me wrong, Zhang Feng said this to me, he means that we are old." ”
O'Neill and Kenny burst into laughter, leaving Barkley at a loss for what to do.
Bryant also introduced Kenny Smith and Zhang Feng to the official acquaintance, and the TNT trio expressed their blessings to Zhang Feng and told him to work hard in his NBA career.
Kobe Bryant took Zhang Feng around and met a lot of people, these NBA stars are much more friendly than Zhang Feng imagined, Curry even made a joke with Zhang Feng that he was going to blow him up in the regular season. Paul said that the first game of the regular season happened to be the Rockets against the Lakers, and he would get the first chance to beat Zhang Feng.
Back in their seats, the competition was just about to start, this time in the form of a regular season, so there was a flag raising and an introduction to the athletes.
The Kings went back to the locker room first, and Zhang Feng stood in the players' tunnel and began to feel the feeling of blood boiling. Because there is no home and away game, the players of the two teams alternate between the players, and every player who plays the game is warmly shouted by the audience.
The penultimate was Lonzo Ball, and when his name was shouted on the radio, the audience erupted in louder shouts than before, and the ball father sat in the front row and looked at his son with proud eyes, as if everything was under control.
The last to appear was Zhang Feng, who shouted his name on the radio with the loudest voice, and the audience also erupted in addition to the loudest shouts, LeBron and Kobe Bryant took the lead in standing up, and then everyone stood up to welcome Zhang Feng in.
When Daddy saw this, his face was full of unhappiness, and he chatted with his friend next to him with a smile.
Zhang Feng slowly ran out of the player's tunnel, and along the way he felt blood rush to his brain and heart, and every cell in his body began to get excited.
As there was still a short period of time before the match officially began, the TNT trio began to introduce the lineups on both sides.
"To be honest, Kuzma's performance in this summer league game was overshadowed by Zhang Feng and Lonzo Ball, and if you look closely, Kuzma's scoring ability is very explosive, and I think the Lakers will focus on Kuzma in today's game," Barkley said.
"The last time the Lakers played against the Kings, none of the four big players on the Lakers side played, but the Lakers still won, and I don't think that's good news for the Kings," Kenny said.
"But don't forget, in the last matchup, Zhang Feng deliberately didn't play to give time to the substitute Mason," O'Neal refuted the two claims.
"The four big players of the Lakers can completely offset the role of Zhang Feng, and if the Lakers contain Zhang Feng, I don't know if Zhang Feng can play the performance against the Celtics" Barkley still does not recognize Zhang Feng's strength.
"The good news for the Kings is that Lonzo Ball was forced to play, and it was originally planned that he wouldn't play because of the small muscle tension, but Adam made the game so big that he had to play," O'Neal said.
"Then let's wait and see, the game has begun".
In order to seize the opportunity, the Lakers sent Zubac and Papajanis jump balls. At the referee's whistle, Papayannis took the lead in dialing the ball, but failed to dial it to Zhang Feng.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Feng Lonzo Ball jumped up and grabbed the ball at the same time, Lonzo Ball's height of 198CM far exceeded Zhang Feng, but the actual situation was that Zhang Feng was ahead of him by at least two palms to catch the basketball, after all, Zhang Feng's bullet speed advantage was very obvious.
Zhang Feng landed, Ball was still in the air, seeing the opportunity, Zhang Feng directly started to the maximum speed, and reached the three-point line in an instant, at this time it was Van der Breo who defended him. Van der Bruo did not hesitate to stick to the defense directly, Zhang Feng saw Justin who was rushing to the penalty area in chaos, and threw the ball to the basket with a high throw, Justin jumped up and dunked in the air.
The first goal was so exciting, and the excited shouts of the fans at the scene came and went.
Looking back, Ball had possession of the ball and quickly passed half court. Zhang Feng is responsible for defending Bauer, and he is not the main attacker when he specifies the tactics early on, so he can put all his physical strength on defense, facing Bauer's crotch dribble, Zhang Feng sacrificed Leonard-style "death entanglement", left and right to touch this, Ball chose to give the ball to Ingram.
Ingram, as a rookie, Lakers core development player, and second-year rookie, is not arrogant to the No. 15 pick Justin in the first grade.
But Justin's expression was not flustered, because the tactics set last night were joint defense, Giles saw that Justin was struggling to defend and directly wrapped it up, and Ingram was under a lot of pressure and chose to pass the ball to Kuzma, who was running.
Kuzma, who lost his defense, jumped into the air like a wild horse, and Papayanis had given up defending Zubac by this time to defend Kuzma's open dunk.
Wharton was not happy off the court at this time, Kuzma's ball could be handled better in his opinion, and forcing the ball to receive the ball naturally boosted the team's morale, but the success rate of fake shots to Zubac would be greater.
Kuzma received a pass, he was going to answer the ball, he also wanted to play an open catch, although Ingram's pass height is relatively low, but this kind of occasion is to fight for a performance.
But he didn't expect Papayannis to defend him so early, and if he continued to choose to dunk after receiving the ball, he would have a good chance of being directly covered, so he thought twice and decided to pass the ball back to Lonzo Ball to reorganize the offense.
Zhang Feng had already understood Kuzma's intentions at this time, he saw Kuzma's helpless eyes, and just when everyone thought Kuzma was going to dunk, the basketball unexpectedly flew to the position of Lonzo Ball on the outside.
Zhang Feng had already sprinted up and stole the pass in everyone's surprised eyes. Lonzo Ball also reacted quickly, and when he saw Zhang Feng breaking the ball, he gave up scrambling as soon as possible, and directly retreated to the backfield to prevent Zhang Feng from attacking quickly.
Zhang Feng did not hesitate to see Lonzo retreating, and still rushed forward with the ball quickly, and the other players, whether it was the King or the Lakers, could not keep up with the rhythm of Zhang Feng and Lonzo, and the situation instantly became a heads-up between Zhang Feng and Lonzo.
With such a fast-paced power amplifier switch and such a suffocating tactical calculation, LeBron, Durant, and Curry, who saw the whole process on the sidelines, stood up excitedly, and everyone else looked at the three curiously.
It took less than a second for Zhang Feng to meet Lonzo at the three-point line, Zhang Feng changed speed, Lonzo lost his position slightly but instantly adjusted his body's center of gravity, re-blocking Zhang Feng's shooting space, Zhang Feng could only choose to continue to break through.
Lang Zuo followed Zhang Feng backwards, not an inch away and closer, the distance control was just right, whether Zhang Feng changed direction or shot, he had enough time to adjust the defensive style.
But Lonzo still doesn't know enough about Zhang Feng, he hasn't watched Zhang Feng's game video, he doesn't know how explosive Zhang Feng's bounce and body control are.
Zhang Feng reached the position of two steps in the free throw, and suddenly stopped, it stopped suddenly instead of reducing the speed and stopped, no one expected this reaction, Lang Zuo child retreated, and the next moment he seemed to see God.
Zhang Feng controlled his body on his toes and braked suddenly, and then jumped straight into the air with his toes, Zhang Feng didn't hold the ball with both hands at the moment, so he couldn't shoot, Zhang Feng didn't have a waist force at the moment, and his back didn't have a force, so Zhang Feng didn't dunk.
Therefore, Zhang Feng smashed the ball into the basket and smashed the ball into the basket with a force that seemed to destroy the rebound. The basketball hit the ground and then bounced off with a powerful force that hit Lonzo's head.
Lonzo Ball was beaten and took a few steps forward and almost fell to the ground, and the audience suddenly burst into laughter, but LeBron and others applauded excitedly, they were applauding Zhang Feng and Lonzo Ball's super duel in this round.
