Chapter Twenty-Six: We'll Be Back

Popovich sighed, Chen Feng's performance cannot be said to be outstanding, for a person with an annual salary of less than one million, he has scored 16 points in this game.

But without defense, it is impossible to successfully chase the score, and he is ready to make substitutions, but at this time, a scene on the court made Popovich dispel this idea.

The Spurs attacked, Duncan took the ball, and the stone Buddha, who had been like a day for more than ten years, seemed to be a little anxious at this time, facing Ibaka on the inside, and began to attack.

However, after the summer of weight loss, Duncan's back ability is declining, and of course, no one will underestimate him because of this.

Duncan hit three smalls, Ibaka only took a small step back, and at this moment, Duncan suddenly turned his back and walked towards the baseline.

If it was at Duncan's peak, no one could stop him, not even Shaq O'Neal, but now he's so slow that he's being chased by the younger Ibaka behind him.

A big hat fanned Duncan's basket, and the most worrying thing was that the basketball smashed on Duncan's body and flew out of the baseline.

The entire OKC home stadium is ready to go, and the defensive success of this goal means that they have clenched half of the victory of this game in the palm of their hands.

Duncan's face that had not changed for many years also showed chagrin and gloom, perhaps because he was not in his youth, and everyone was paying attention to this ball, but Chen Feng did not.

For him, who has long been physically exhausted, it is an incredible thing to be able to persevere until now.

He was very happy that Popovich gave him a chance, so even if he knew that he couldn't defend the opponent, he desperately posted it on the Internet.

Seeing Duncan turn around and walk into the bottom line, Chen Feng was also taken aback when he saw Ibaka leaping high from behind.

I don't know where the strength or motivation comes from, his seventh-level speed is instantly increased to the peak, it's not terrible to lose, admit defeat if you don't work hard, it's not Chen Feng's style, even if he is still a dispensable role player.

Chen Feng flew out of the bottom line in everyone's surprised eyes, he was almost parallel to the ground, but no one paid attention to this, but looked at the basketball in Chen Feng's hand.

Closer, closer!

When Chen Feng touched the basketball with his right hand, he did not have the fear of falling at all, but a heartfelt excitement.

Finally got it!

Chen Feng flicked his right hand back vigorously, and in his memory, Duncan was in that position!

"Peng" Chen Feng adjusted his posture when he landed, and a heart-rending pain made Chen Feng almost mixed up.

No one noticed him, and Duncan seemed to regain his vitality after receiving the ball, and it seemed that when he was in his prime, he jumped high and smashed the basketball into the basket when Harden almost hung his body on his body.

"Drop"

When the whistle blows, two points are counted, and one free throw is added!

At this time, Duncan couldn't stay calm anymore, not looking up to the sky and roaring, but rushing to the bottom line as soon as possible, this little brother is using his life to renew the team's life!

"Chen, are you alright?"

Chen Feng's face turned pale, the impact of his back was only one of them, and the prostration of his physical strength was the biggest reason why Chen Feng couldn't stand up now.

The slightly longer bangs have been completely wet with sweat, and even Chen Feng's entire jersey is already soaked, looking at Duncan standing beside him, Chen Feng grinned.

"Tim, you're great!"

It's just that in an instant, everyone on the Spurs accepted this Chinese kid who seemed to them to have a terrible defense!

Popovich did not replace Chen Feng, perhaps this is the most failed use of the iron-blooded veteran in the eyes of the outside world, he did not use Ginobili, who has more physical strength and better defense, but let Chen Feng, who has been physically exhausted, continue to stay on the court.

That is the belief of a player, Popovich is an excellent coach, but he is also a human being, seeing the tenacity in Chen Feng's eyes, he did not make a substitution after all.

Duncan made a solid free throw!

The game continued, Chen Feng didn't know how he got to his defensive position, but no matter how the sweat flowed, Chen Feng was still staring at James Harden in front of him.

Harden felt very comfortable, this rookie made him blamed by Kevin and the coach after stimulating him last time, and Chen Feng in this game was like a piece of paper in front of him.

Looking at Chen Feng, who seemed to be crumbling in front of him, Harden breathed a sigh of relief, his favorite thing was to break through head-on, but the rookie front defense in front of him was really good, so he could only use what he thought was the ugliest low-post offense to play.

Now you can finally use your best attack!

Harden has no other way to play at all, one changes direction in advance, and regardless of whether he shakes off Chen Feng's center of gravity, he adds another turn.

This is what he has wanted to do for a long time, and not being handsome at this critical moment is not his James Harden style!

It's just that he was careless!

Chen Feng's poor defense is due to his physical confrontation, and attacking in front of him in this way that is almost unprotective of the ball is a humiliation for Chen Feng.

Chen Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed, watching Harden turn around against him, Chen Feng pounced directly forward, the defense couldn't keep up, since this was the case, it was better to give it a go.

"Smack"

The basketball was knocked out by Chen Feng, and Chen Feng also fell to the ground, this was the second time Chen Feng fell within a minute, but it was worth it, watching Tony Parker pick up the basketball and make a layup, Chen Feng turned over, lay on the ground and smiled.

The Thunder called a timeout and were chased by opponents for four points within 30 seconds, something that Coach Brooks could barely tolerate.

Chen Feng was almost helped to the bench, and before Popovich could speak, Chen Feng spoke.

"Boss, let Manu get on, he's much better than me!"

Popovich glanced at Chen Feng, who was unwilling but already unstable, and nodded!

……

The game continued, Kevin Durant showed his leadership temperament at this time, facing Leonard's defense, suddenly took a step back and shot a jumper, and hit a two-point shot!

This goal stabilized the Spurs' position, and this time he took 23 seconds to attack, almost hitting the whistle, leaving the Spurs with only 67 seconds left.

Ginobili is a veteran who is mainly characterized by stepping off the bench and using his different characteristics to help the team attack.

But in this series, he was never in shape, but when he saw that Chinese kid desperate, Ginobili couldn't be calmer anymore.

What the Spurs do best is positional offense, but for Ginobili it doesn't exist!

Obviously, the opponent also knows his characteristics, and uses Kevin Durant, who is tall and long-armed, to defend, but Ginobili doesn't care at all, reaches out for Duncan to come out to block and dismantle, and then comes over to make a three-point shot!

The arc of the basketball is not very high, but it is very fast!

Directly slammed into the basket, Ginobili clenched his fists and yelled!

The difference was only three points, and only 11 seconds had passed!

The Thunder did not ask for a timeout this timeout, Durant dribbled the ball himself, and it was he who signaled that there was no need for a timeout!

Kevin Durant simply doesn't have any other tactical thinking.

Standing near the top arc, and with 6 seconds left, the inside line Serge Ibaka came out to block the pick-and-roll, and Kevin Durant was a ball that was exactly the same as Ginobili just now, and the same shot!

The difference is that Durant took 18 seconds for this ball, and the difference was still six points, and the time was only 28 seconds, so it can be said that Kevin Durant's goal completely ended the game.

In the end, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the visiting San Antonio Spurs 108-102 at home, which was also their first Finals appearance since the name change, and the average age of the Thunder team at this time was not at all 25 years old.

The game is over, and unlike the Thunder's cheers, the Spurs' gloom!

Chen Feng was already able to stand up at this time!

Looking at Duncan's gloomy expression, he couldn't stand it anymore! Crying!

Duncan looked at Chen Feng, who was already in tears, and the tears he had been holding back couldn't be held back after all, the stone Buddha was not a Buddha after all!

"We'll be back, won't we?" Chen Feng asked.

"Yes, we'll be back!" Duncan said!

"We'll be back!"

When Chen Feng said this sentence under the light, he realized that unconsciously, he had developed strong feelings for this team.

At the beginning, when he was still a substitute, he certainly couldn't find much belonging to the Spurs. At that time, his goal was just to get more points and be able to perform more because he just wanted to stay.

However, after the battles, he sweated on the field with his teammates again and again, and his feelings for this team became deeper and deeper.

By now, he feels that the word Spurs has almost been integrated into his body and blood. Became one's own breath.

Therefore, when he was eliminated, that sadness still suddenly invaded Chen Feng's body.

Parker was at this moment, although he did not shed tears, but he could also see his sadness. Chen Feng walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and Parker saw that it was Chen Feng, turned his head, and had a wry smile.

"Hey, man, I gotta say, we weren't pretty enough." "Or rather, I didn't do a good job and now I'm just leaving us with one of those results, which isn't good," Parker said. ”

Chen Feng stretched out his right hand, put it up, and said, "Let's work together next season!" Good buddy. ”

"Well, next season, let's do it together." Parker said: "This offseason, what's planned. ”

"Going to ......" Chen Feng pondered for a moment, and then said: "Let's talk about it slowly in the future, we still have time...... I might go back home, what about you?. ”

"Maybe we'll have fun!"

"It's still early!" Chen Feng said: "I haven't left the United States yet, I need an intensive training here, and I still have a lot of time to go to your house to eat, I don't think you will diswelcome me." ”
