Chapter Seventy-Six: You're Still Far Away! (For the sake of joy!) )
After the end of the first half, Kobe Bryant had scored 25 points, which was really amazing for a veteran, but the Lakers were 17 points behind, not to mention the GDP three brave guys, Chen Feng who stood up on the bench also shot 8 of 13 and scored 21 points.
Compared with Kobe Bryant on the opposite side, he is only 4 points less, he is now the scoring champion of the Spurs, the team is ahead, his own data is beautiful, although he cannot be promoted to the starter, but this is enough to make Chen Feng happy, it is really good, well, this feeling is so good!
Popovich looked at Chen Feng with a happy face and breathed a sigh of relief, if he really wanted to keep this Chinese Chen, according to his character, Chen Feng would definitely be beaten into the cold palace, and he didn't want to think about it when he sat on the bench, this is the NBA, excellent players are always more important than coaches.
Even if it is an iron coach like Popovich, he has to be angry with the players in an absolutely focused state, and it seems that the effect is not bad, it seems that the Spurs' playoff journey this year is really much better, well, yes, Chen is still good, at least he is still a member of the Spurs, and he still takes it as his responsibility to help the Spurs.
But this is not the case in the Lakers' locker room, Kobe Bryant is resting with his eyes closed, Nash wants to talk and stops, Howard has no expression on his face and Ci Shiping is happy, I don't know what to talk about!
But the whole team is just the two of them laughing, and the others are not like this, their faces are dark!
This is even more ugly than D'Anthony's face, Kobe Bryant didn't dare to say to his face that he hadn't established himself in the Lakers! Nash is his disciple, the most outstanding disciple, and it can even be said that he has achieved his disciple, D'Antoni naturally will not say, Howard and Ci Shiping are one of the eldest children and the other is a big mallet.
As a result, D'Antoni's anger was naturally vented on others: "Stephen Blake, what are you doing? What are you waiting for? Didn't I tell you to run? weishenme wants to sit and fight, don't you know who the opponent is? What they do best is position! ”
"And Earl Clark) What are you doing? Don't dare to touch the ball in practice, don't you want to play, if so, I'll fulfill you, what about your defense? What about your rebounds? What are you doing standing on it? ”
…… After scolding indiscriminately, D'Antoni's anger subsided a lot, and just as he was about to open his mouth to lay out a great bombardment tactic, Kobe Bryant suddenly opened his eyes when he had been lying down and resting.
"Mike, we're going to fight the game, we're going to win it back, but who's at fault, who knows!" After saying that, he left the locker room first and prepared to play.
If it weren't for Nash's face, God knows what ugly things the arrogant Kobe Bryant would say, and watching Kobe Bryant leave and everyone else left, only one Nash looked at the stunned D'Antoni and sighed, and then pulled D'Antoni into the players' tunnel.
He left the Phoenix Suns and came here, not thinking like this, is it so difficult to win a championship?
Is it difficult? It's so hard! It's really hard for Nash to fulfill his long-cherished wish! How many players in the league have proven themselves and played their worth, like Melon Anthony, and even younger Kevin Durant are fighting for a championship ring.
At the beginning of the second half, the starting lineups of both sides appeared, and after Ginobili returned to the starting lineup, the Spurs finally returned to their strongest starting lineup, which was previously done to make up for the firepower on the bench, but now seeing Chen Feng grow so fast, Popovich is relieved to be worried.
The players on both sides may not want to be equal, the players of the Lakers are even much stronger than the aging Spurs, but the combat effectiveness embodied by both sides is not at all a level, the Spurs are super first-class, and the Lakers are first-class in front of them with their super single ability.
At the beginning of the game between the two sides, the Spurs' offense was still the kind of bland but occasional tactical cooperation, but the Lakers were at most three people cooperating, and the others didn't even have a chance to touch the ball, and the basketball went to the basket.
The whole Spurs played no different from the first half, the cooperation was still very smooth, but the shooting rate went down, for this situation, Popovich didn't even blink his eyes, he sat next to Chen Feng, the two sat together, Popovich looked at Nash who was shuttling on the court and Kobe Bryant, who was steady and accurate.
Popovich began to explain their characteristics, Popovich has been polishing in the league for so many years, his understanding of these superstars naturally has his own uniqueness, and Chen Feng here also nods from time to time, as for the characteristics of the players on the Spurs' side, Popovich needless to say, Chen Feng himself learned from Ginobili and Parker.
"Steve Nash's physical condition is definitely one of the unpopular people in the entire league, but he has won two MVPs, and he doesn't need his body, because his jishu has reached the realm of transformation, and his shooting is not much better than yours!"
"As for Kobe, uh! How to say it! He's the player I'm least sure of in the league, he's the second, just like Michael Jordan back then, but there's nothing to say about his skills, and he's the hardest working guy I've ever seen in all these years, the most hode person I've ever seen to use his talent! ”
"Although his backward jump shot has his own talent, 90% of it is polished by using his own training, watching him kill others when he is radiant, but the number of drills behind the back, it is estimated that the number of times you have practiced all your shots now is not enough!"
"Chen, you're still far away!"
After Chen Feng heard it, although he was a little unconvinced, he also nodded, he said it well, he is indeed far behind, don't look at the fact that he and Kobe Bryant fought a winless battle just now, it seems that he has reached that height, but as Popovich said, he is far behind!
When there were 44 minutes left in the third quarter of the game, Chen Feng came on the court, this time there were no five up and five down, he replaced small forward Leonard, because Kobe Bryant went down, so Leonard was naturally going to rest, Popovich just wanted Kobe to score as hard as possible in front of Leonard.
Chen Feng played, his opponent was Clarke, who gradually found his confidence, originally this guy had outstanding talent, but he has not been able to find his chance, and now under D'Antoni, this guy has found an opportunity, and his performance has been very good.
His height is much taller than Chen Feng, but he is not an excellent offensive player after all, fast attack, conversion, and fixed point are about the same, but if you really want to be under Chen Feng's defense, it is almost meaningless to attack with the ball.
However, if Chen Feng wants to score under his offense, it is much simpler, but Chen Feng also knows that it is not those substitutes who are partnering with him now, and the core of this lineup is not himself, so Chen Feng honestly picked up the weapon that allowed him to gain a firm foothold in the Spurs - running.
Chen Feng is trying to run according to the tactics of the Spurs, here Tony Parker faces Nash's defense, the breakthrough is very simple, breaking, dividing, Chen Feng in the bottom corner has already been ambushed, although this feeling is not as good as the feeling of attacking with the ball by himself, there is no such feeling, but the scoring is relatively simple.
Catch the ball, shoot!
This kind of opportunity, for Chen Feng, who now has reached level 6 in the bottom corner and has a bonus, it couldn't be simpler, take a deep breath, shoot a three-point shot, and the basketball hollow into the net!
Empty seats are empty seats after all! When he was upgraded, he hit 60 times in a row at this point, and he was able to succeed, but Chen Feng threw nearly a thousand times, which is not counting the number of times he usually practiced.
As soon as Chen Feng came up, he hit a three-pointer to help the Spurs stabilize their position, which made Kobe Bryant, who had just made it to the bench, inadvertently raise his eyebrows, this guy's hand is really hot! And it's hot, but he's not a bad guy!
Just now D'Antoni let him rest, in fact, it is for his good, he will not let D'Antoni get off the stage in this public, otherwise it is estimated that tomorrow morning, the Lakers will once again make the headlines of major newspapers.
When Chen Feng here played with the main team, he was less sharp, but more steady, which made Popovich on the bench nod his head.
The Spurs stabilized their position, and the Lakers here began to chase points under the leadership of Nash, and D'Antoni replaced Kobe Bryant also had such a meaning, allowing Nash to let go of his hands and feet to play, and now the Lakers players on the court are Nash, Meeks, Clark, Jamison and Howard.
The Spurs' lineup here is Parker, Ginobili, Chen Feng, Dio and Duncan, but the Spurs' side has an immediate effect after the substitution, but the Lakers always can't play together.
When there were still two minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Lakers were still chasing points, although they were only 5 points short now, they were still five points behind, and this was because Kobe Bryant played the entire fourth quarter, while Parker and others here have been resting.
In fact, if there is no accident in today's game, it can already be decided, the Spurs will definitely win after the main force is full, but after all, his opponent is not an ordinary person! Los Angeles Lakers, a team with a glorious history!
