Chapter Seventy-Nine: Three Qi Donovan

No point guard instincts? What is the point guard instinct? Mason's stats in this game were 24 points and 6 assists, the highest assist on the Kings team, and of course, Laker Caruso scored 9 assists, perhaps the number of assists is the so-called point guard instinct of the ball daddy.

Zhang Feng persuaded Mason after he tweeted, the other party is the player's father, and we are the player, there is no need to argue, everything needs to be spoken with the performance on the field, even if the ball brother himself said these words. Zhang Feng told Mason that what the entire Kings team needs to do is to take out the Lakers in the next knockout game, and of course talk about it if they don't meet each other.

The Las Vegas Summer League schedule lasts for a total of 10 days, and the regular season has now been played, followed by a one-on-one knockout round. Both the Kings and Lakers are in the top 9 with two wins, but because the Lakers beat the Kings head-on, the Lakers are in eighth place and the Kings are in ninth place.

As a result, the Kings need to play the 9-24 playoff game first, and they need to play against the Jazz tomorrow.

The Jazz participated in the Las Vegas Summer League for the first time, because of the playoffs last season, the Jazz did not get an excellent signing in this draft, but fortunately, they traded from the Nuggets to the No. 13 pick Donovan Mitchell, and also got the No. 28 show Tony Blad from the Lakers. The Jazz lost to the Mavericks and Grizzlies, and with only one win against the Bucks, they had to play the 9-24 play-out game like the Kings.

Before the game, Zhang Feng discussed a countermeasure with Mason and other players in the team, that is, let Mason organize the offense, and Zhang Feng played the role of shooting and breaking, so that Zhang Feng's on-court position was mentioned in the SG position, and Buddy was changed to the substitute on the court, but he still played the SG position after playing.

The purpose of playing like this is to shut up the ball daddy and respond to the ball daddy with his performance and results on the field.

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

At Cox Arena, both teams have entered the stadium to warm up before the game.

Zhang Feng has been practicing shooting and three points for about 5 minutes because he is about to shoot more, and the gratifying thing is that Zhang Feng's hand is very good today, hitting in a row, and not missing a single shot. The knockout round attracted a lot of spectators to watch the game, and some viewers posted videos of Zhang's consecutive hits online.

After practicing for a while, the referee and other staff members also entered one after another, and after going through the process as usual, the referee announced the start of the game.

The Jazz's Tony Bullard won the jump ball, and the ball went straight to the Jazz's Donovan Mitchell. Near the three-point line, the Jazz directly played the tactics that their team is famous for--- blocking and pick-and-roll.

Donovan Mitchell didn't call, Tony Bullard stepped forward directly to play a block, Zhang Feng did not choose to bypass the human wall, but signaled Mason to step forward to block Donovan Mitchell's right breakthrough route.

Seeing this, Donovan Mitchell smiled and said:

"Are you really a point guard? Commanding your teammates to help you defend like this, don't you understand that passing speed is faster than running speed? ”

After saying that, Donovan Mitchell made a direct cross and tried to give the ball to Mason's defense, but now it was empty Jazz point guard Nigel Williams. What Donovan didn't expect was that Zhang Feng's purpose in doing this was to induce him to pass the ball, and Zhang Feng had already moved sideways the moment his arm moved.

Donovan was right, the passing speed was indeed faster than the player's running speed, but Zhang Feng's purpose was not to intercept the opponent's pass in the air, Zhang Feng moved at the same time, Mason also moved, and they both rushed towards Nigel's position.

Seeing the movements of the two, Donovan immediately reacted to what Zhang Feng wanted to do, this is to double Nigel.

Generally speaking, the double bag is a decision to suddenly launch a mistake to force the ball carrier, and Zhang Feng's strategy is even more ruthless, the opponent has not received the ball and unfolded the bag. Nigel was stunned as he saw two men rushing towards him, along with a basketball.

Nigel mechanically caught the pass, and in less than a second, Zhang Feng and the two wrapped him left and right, and they didn't even have time to lean over to protect the ball.

Donovan ran directly behind Nigel and shouted for a pass, but Nigel, who did not react, was directly stealed by Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng sprinted with the ball to attack, Mason followed closely, Donovan chased after him, and the three formed a textbook two-dozen game. Zhang Feng saw that Donovan's position was in the middle of the two, so the way to be safe was to choose a layup, but he said before the game that he would help Mason play, and now is the best start.

Zhang Feng pretended to be a three-step layup, and Donovan gave up defending Mason and chose to prepare to block Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng finished jumping after the third step, and Donovan also jumped, and it would be very dangerous for Zhang Feng to pass the ball again at this time.

However, a shocking scene appeared, Zhang Feng brought the ball to a board, and the basketball jumped through the rebound and fell directly into Mason's hands.

Everyone, including Mason, thought that Zhang Feng would choose to be strong just now, and Turner was ready to use this as an example to tell the Kings how to complete the 2-on-1 offense with maximum efficiency in future training, but he didn't expect Zhang Feng to come with such a hand.

Facing everyone's stunned expressions, Zhang Feng and Mason jumped up and hit their chests in celebration.

Donovan was tricked, a little angry, he wanted to single Zhang Feng when he got the ball, he dribbled to near the three-point line, deliberately stopped and did not move, this appearance is clearly a heads-up. The Jazz players opened up the space in a playful way, and the Kings players were also about to do so, but Zhang Feng waved his hand directly, signaling that he didn't need to.

This is completely out of the rules, everyone on the field was stunned, and the audience was also stunned. But in this way, the choice is in Donovan's hands, and there will be no room to break through to continue singles, and choosing to pass is cowardice.

Donovan, who was put on the table again, looked at Zhang Feng angrily and said trash talk:

"I didn't expect you to be such a cowardly person, and you didn't dare to pick it up alone."

Zhang Feng was noncommittal, just smiled awkwardly. Donovan was made out of temper by Zhang Feng, he decided that he couldn't admit that he wanted to complete this single, he dribbled back and forth under his crotch to find a rhythm and wanted to break through, but he was always very tightly attached by Zhang Feng, and the offensive time passed quickly, and there were only 3 seconds left, and after a feigned breakthrough, Donovan chose to pass.

"Are you really a point guard? Don't you know that passing the ball to your teammates at this time is most likely to lower the hit rate of others" Zhang Feng killed people and sprayed back the trash talk that Donovan had just said. Donovan's face turned pale, if this ball, his teammate did not shoot, it would be embarrassing, he kept praying that his teammate could hit this whistle shot.
