405 One person vs one team

Facing Kawhi Leonard, Jin Feng did not feel the slightest nervousness, because he knew very well that in this game, his main opponent was Leonard.

In other words, he was fully prepared to face Leonard.

Of course, I have to admit that Leonard, who is now in his prime, really has a lot of deterrence on the defensive end.

When he stood in front of Jin Feng, just that kind of deterrence on the defensive end was enough to make Jin Feng dare not be careless.

In the next second, Jin Feng moved.

He didn't choose to make physical contact with Leonard, but chose to break through with the ball, and he wanted to use his speed advantage to get past Leonard.

In the field of speed, Leonard was no match for him, and sure enough, when it suddenly accelerated, Leonard simply couldn't keep up with him.

So he broke through and made a layup.

"China Jin, in the face of Kawhi Leonard's breakthrough layup, it was his first shot in this game, of course, he hit the basket on the first shot, it looks like he has a good hand"

Then the game continued.

The Spurs are still the same Spurs, and even though Gregg Popovich is no longer there, their overall style hasn't changed much.

It's still team basketball, it's still selfless sharing the ball.

The second wave of offense was completed by their frequent passes, Dejounte Jasmine after controlling the ball to the front court, the first time to come forward to answer Aldridge, Aldridge in the face of Willie Cauleystan, did not get a relatively suitable opportunity to shoot, quickly handed the ball to Leonard, and Leonard burst in with the ball, and when Leonard also held the ball to the basket and was blocked, he did not hesitate to pass the ball to Danny Green, who was already waiting in the bottom left corner.

"Brush"

Danny Green, who shot in the open position, hit a three-pointer without surprise.

Then there was the king's offense, and it was still Jin Feng facing Leonard's defense, but this time, Jin Feng did not choose to go it alone, but handed the ball to Daron Fox, who performed well in the last game.

Maybe it was the win in the last game that made Fox find confidence, or maybe he was so confident, after receiving Jin Feng's pass, Fox did not hesitate to shoot with all his strength, and hit it steadily.

In the first five minutes of the first quarter, it was unbelievable that both sides maintained a shooting rate of more than 70%, and the Kings, who were considered to have no chance of beating the Spurs before the game, were still on the road at this time, leading the Spurs by three points.

"It's kind of incredible, it's true that in the first five minutes of the first quarter, both sides were shooting well, but we've all seen that the lead right now is the Sacramento Kings, which means they're playing better than the Spurs at home."

The commentators of this match were shocked by the king's performance.

In the first quarter of the game, after the official timeout came back, the first to attack was the king.

The right high post is covered by Fox, Jin Feng ran past Fox from his side, and after receiving the ball, he quickly started and cut towards the basket.

This tactical movement on the pitch is the result of their previous training matches.

After Fox received the ball, he quickly handed the ball to Jin Feng, and Jin Feng, who received the basketball, directly entered the inside, and in the face of the Spurs' interior players' supplemental defense, Jin Feng scored two points on the rebound.

Immediately after the Spurs' offense, after the veteran Tony Parker, who was still sticking to the Spurs, took the ball to the halfcourt, Leonard actively began to run, and beside him, Jin Feng followed very closely.

Knowing that Leonard is the main scoring point in the Spurs team, Jin Feng naturally will not let the opponent easily get offensive opportunities.

Under Jin Feng's defense, Leonard went around in the half and found that there was no good opportunity, so he immediately began to take the initiative to attack the ball.

Leonard is not a pure pitcher, as a superstar, in fact, his offensive ability with the ball is also among the top in the league, which Jin Feng knew very well when he was still a Spurs.

Of course, this time is for Jin Feng. He wasn't too worried about Leonard's ball-handling offense, but rather about Leonard's direct projection.

Although Leonard's shooting touch tonight is average when the Spurs' shooting touch is very good, Jin Feng knows very well that for this kind of superstar, their state may be reversed at any time.

So after Leonard started dribbling, Jin Feng did not retreat, and still stuck very forward.

In the face of Jin Feng's defense, the best choice is undoubtedly to break through, and Leonard naturally knows very well in his heart that with a simple run to change direction, Leonard dribbles from the left side to break through.

Choosing to break through from the left baseline, Leonard was mainly worried that the other Kings players would come forward to attack.

However, it turned out that Leonard was completely overthinking, and the Kings players had no intention of hitting up and down at all, because Jin Feng had been closely following Leonard's side.

Leonard, who found the space to break through, accelerated to the basket, hoping to get rid of Jin Feng, but his speed did not have the slightest advantage over Jin Feng.

Seeing that he rushed into the three-second zone and was unable to throw Jin Feng away, Leonard naturally didn't dare to make a layup easily to avoid being directly blocked by Jin Feng.

Continuing to rush forward, Leonard jumped up until he was close to the bottom of the basket, then got out from under the basket and made a backhand layup.

Leonard chose a backhand layup, in order to avoid Jin Feng's block, but he didn't expect that Jin Feng didn't jump up to block at this time, and when Leonard jumped up to the basket and defended the layup, Jin Feng took a step forward and was still close to him.

Leonard's air and waist and abdominal strength are not very good, coupled with the interference of Jin Feng's physical contact, so his shot in the final moment was obviously affected, and after the ball hit the rebound, it fell on the outside edge of the basket.

Jumping quickly, Jin Feng picked off the rebounding ball just above his head, and then quickly pushed the ball out and sent it to Justin Jackson's hands.

The Spurs' retreat was fast, so the Kings' counterattack didn't come out, and Jackson also suppressed the rhythm in the half, Randle raised the high post to receive the ball, and the next moment, the Kings players ran quickly.

Jin Feng is also actively running, while taking the initiative to create cover opportunities for Jackson and Randle, Jin Feng is waiting for an opportunity to cut to the basket.

Running up to the right outside the three-second zone, Jin Feng stood for Jackson as cover.

Jackson's running is the same as his breakthrough, the route is always unpredictable, for example, at this time, Jackson did not purely use his running speed to get rid of Danny Green, but kept running back and forth near Jin Feng.

Run to the left, stop and run, stop and start again, and stop and run again.

Jackson's running was not sleepy, but his sudden stop, reverse running action was fast and agile, at first Danny Green was able to keep up, but after Jackson ran several feints in a row, he suddenly couldn't keep up with the pace.

Seizing this opportunity, Jackson quickly turned, ran towards the high position, and was about to go to Randle's side to receive the ball.

Seeing this, Leonard was busy speeding up and rushed up, but Jackson's route was extremely tricky, and Leonard's acceleration directly crashed into Jin Feng and Fox.

At this time, Leonard didn't care who was in front of him, he stretched out his hand and pushed.

Stepping on the three-second zone to continue to move forward, Jin Feng turned around and shook off Bertans when Jackson passed him, and cut under the basket, at this time he was surprised to find that Leonard actually pushed Fox away.

Even the defenders were pushed away, if Jin Feng didn't know how to seize the opportunity, then he would be really stupid, after completing the turn, he quickly took a step forward, turned his head, looked at Randle, and jumped up directly.

Randle was about to pass the ball to Jackson, but when he saw an opportunity for an inside attack, he immediately threw the ball over.

The basketball came a little late, Jin Feng's body had already begun to fall, and the basketball came to the top of his head, and the dunk could not be completed, but this did not affect Jin Feng's goal.

With both hands, he gently pushed up, and Jin Feng pushed the ball into the basket.

In the next wave, Leonard, who came to the half, still failed to find a direct opportunity to shoot directly from Jin Feng's follow-up, and Parker did not pass the ball to Leonardo's hands, after all, Leonard's attack on Jin Feng with the ball just now was not very effective.

On the other side, when he didn't choose to pass the ball to Leonard, Tony Parker decided to make the ball himself, and it took him more than a dozen seconds to dribble from beyond the three-point line before he started to hit the three-point line.

"Bang"

A mid-range pullup jumper, Parker bounced off a shot from Willie Cauleystan, and Randle grabbed the rebound inside.

It was immediately handed over to Fox, and at this time, Jin Feng had already rushed to the other half of the court, seeing that Jin Feng had already played a fast attack, Fox quickly sent the ball to Jin Feng's hands.

Because the Spurs did not fight for rebounds in the front court, the retreat speed at this time was very fast, and when Jin Feng rushed to the front court, except for Aldridge, who was still behind, the remaining four players had already retreated to the half court.

However, Jin Feng did not give up the offense because of this, and the Spurs players retreated quickly, but the defensive formation did not fall well.

The dribble suddenly changed direction, and Jin Feng flashed a chance from Danny Green's side and dribbled to the right.

Jin Feng's speed was too fast, and after only one step, Danny Green was directly left behind, seeing this, Berters was busy stepping forward to defend.

However, Jin Feng's speed suddenly increased again, and his direction remained unchanged, and he suddenly kicked a step to the right, and he was already on Bertans's side.

Bertans also wanted to be close to the defense, but Jin Feng didn't give him such a chance at all, and with the help of excellent explosiveness, he rushed directly past Bertans's side.

"Bang"

Other Spurs players didn't go to the basket to make up for Jin Feng's dunk.

…………

With the last two minutes of the first quarter remaining, at 26:24, the Kings still led the Spurs by two points, and Jason Kidd called a timeout at this time, and he replaced Jin Feng to rest.

In the two minutes that Jin Feng went down, it was very obvious that the king suddenly dropped a level at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

The old Spurs seized this opportunity, not only tied the point difference at the end of the first quarter of the game, but also overtook the Kings by two points.

…………

Only four minutes into the second quarter of the game, Jin Feng was still sitting on the bench to rest, with the veteran Ariza's outside three-pointer on the court, the king was also very difficult to bite the score during this time, but obviously, everyone can see very clearly now, for the king, it is getting closer and closer to being pulled away by the Spurs.

Jason Kidd also knew this very well, so he immediately replaced Jin Feng back on the court.

After Jin Feng returned to the court, he also made a contribution very quickly, and he actually gave Aldridge a hot pot on the offensive end, which is very incredible, after all, there is a difference in height between the two.

In addition to giving Aldridge a hot pot on the defensive end, Jin Feng also had a wonderful performance on the offensive end.

After receiving Fox's breakaway from the outside, he didn't hesitate to shoot a three-point shot in the face of Leonard, and hit it steadily.

15 points!

After hitting this three-pointer, the match was less than halfway through, and Jin Feng had already scored 15 points, and it seemed that the old Spurs would be difficult to limit Jin Feng on the defensive end.

However, although Jin Feng has a brilliant performance, his teammates are gradually a little powerless when facing the Spurs' defense.

No way, the Kings players are not superstar players like Jin Feng, their physical strength is consumed very quickly, and as the Spurs' intensity on the defensive end gradually increases, it makes the Kings' players even more difficult to play.

So at the end of the first half.

54:46!

The Spurs, playing at home, are already eight points ahead of the Kings.

Jin Feng scored 19 points in the half, three rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block, I have to admit that this data is very luxurious.

But in fact, when many people saw Jin Feng's half-time data, they inadvertently felt sorry for Jin Feng, because his team was falling behind at this time.

"Maybe this season we will often witness the picture of China Jin, fighting alone, through this half of the game, we can clearly see that the Sacramento Kings are very passive on both the offensive and defensive ends when facing the San Antonio Spurs, the top team in the league."

Take a look at the halftime stats for the rest of the Kings.

In the first half, Fox, perhaps, his statistics should seem to be the best data after Jin Feng, 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, which is already very good, after all, he is not a superstar player like Jin Feng.

Of course, everyone knows that the Kings want to make a difference in the second half, and even non-superstar players like Fox should try to play better, otherwise, it will be difficult for them to win this game by relying on Jin Feng alone.
