Chapter Twenty-Eight: Rebuilding Around Li Feng

Chapter 28 revolves around Li Feng

Grizzlies head coach Hollins is very happy with the current situation, so he is not in a hurry to make changes.

"Good job, boys, the rest of the game, just like that, until you win the game."

Hollins' calm tone made the Grizzlies up and down feel like he was in control.

On the court again, Sam Young still implemented the tactical idea that Hollins asked him to beat Iguodala, leaving passes, assists, and controlling the pace behind, and arching his ass with one mind.

However, at the timeout, Eddie Jordan also made arrangements for Sam Young's style of play. Seeing that Sam Young was about to arch into the small penalty area again, Speights immediately let go of Li Feng and turned around to wrap Sam Young.

With one more Speights by his side, Sam Young could no longer continue to play hard.

As for the defense under the basket, the 76ers completely handed over to Dyrem Porter alone, and it is precisely because the Grizzlies' current interior line is composed of Li Feng and Gasol that Eddie Jordan dares to boldly use this kind of defense.

Except for Li Feng, everyone else was entangled by the opponent, and in such a situation, Sam Yang could only hand over the basketball to Li Feng, but in Sam Yang's mind, Li Feng was just a transit station. If you want to finish the attack, you need to rely on someone else.

Sam Young's pass made Eddie Jordan smile on the sidelines, and what Eddie Jordan wanted was to transfer the basketball to Li Feng's hands.

After previous observations, Eddie Jordan has already defined Li Feng as a blue-collar worker, and at most he said that this Chinese kid was lucky to become Ben Wallace, although Li Feng had an assist for Mayo to score a performance, but Eddie Jordan only attributed it to an accident.

The ball to Li Feng's hand means that the Grizzlies' offense has been forced into a corner, and Eddie Jordan's wishful thinking can be described as crackling.

If Li Feng is really like Ben Wallace of the Pistons, then Eddie Jordan's tactics are undoubtedly successful, but is Li Feng really such a pure coolie? At least in Hollins' eyes, he wasn't.

There is another person who agrees with Hollins, and that is Alan Iverson.

To Eddie Jordan's surprise, Li Feng did not stand in place and wait for his teammates to come to receive the ball, but skillfully dribbled the ball and strode to the inside.

Since taking a timeout for teammate Speights, Delham Porter's attention has been very focused, after all, the Haitian is the patron saint of the 76ers.

This time, although Li Feng's sudden start surprised Eddie Jordan on the sidelines, Dareham Porter was well prepared.

As soon as he stepped horizontally, he was in the way of Li Feng's 'only way', and his feet were one line away from the reasonable collision zone.

Staring at Li Feng, who was a little closer to him, Daim Potter smiled, judging from his experience, a big man like Li Feng couldn't control his body at all at this speed, and it was only a matter of time before he was hit with the ball.

Daimpot was ready to be hit, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't feel the impact, and when he came back to his senses, Li Feng himself had lost Li Feng's trace.

"Samuel, what are you doing standing stupidly, serving!"

Iguodala, the team's point guard, walked up to Durham Porter with a look of chagrin and reprimanded his little brother mercilessly.

Walking to the baseline in a daze, Bowler didn't send the ball out of the first place, but instead set his eyes on the big screen above the Vochovia Centre Court. The screen is interpreting everything that just happened with a slow and wrong head.

In the shot, at the moment when Li Feng was about to collide with Dylampoter, he suddenly turned to the right side with his right foot as the axis.

At the same time, Li Feng handed the basketball to his left hand, from the side of Durham Porter, to Gasol, who had been guarding the baseline, from the exact opposite direction. …,

With no defenders on the board, Gasol easily scored two points.

Is Li Feng a pure coolie? Of course not.

Although this body is not good at shooting and dribbling, but passing, Li Feng has a talent for passing the ball in his bones, and this simple practice of only handing the basketball to his teammates is too easy for Li Feng!

Scoring, rebounding, blocking, and assisting, Li Feng's performance today was very comprehensive. It also made Hollins, who had always appreciated him, very pleased.

Although Hollins quickly thought of what Li Feng said about playing small forward, and his heart fluctuated a little, but as far as the current situation is concerned, Li Feng's position is very solid, although he is only a substitute.

With fourteen seconds left before the end, the ball was in Iguodala's hands and Mayo was in front of him.

The clock was ticking, and Iguodala wasn't moving, he was waiting, waiting for the game to end.

In the face of a 12-point gap, the so-called last shot is so pale, it doesn't matter whether it shoots or not.

Iguodala played 41 minutes and grabbed 33-pointers, eight rebounds and seven assists, a very good statistic, but it all lost its meaning in the context of the team's loss.

"No leader", every time the game is over, Iguodala seems to have such an infamy on his body.

But Iguodala, he doesn't care anymore. He loved Philadelphia, the city that made him famous, and the answer was gone, and he almost left last season, whether it was the end of the hero or the phoenix tiller, no one knows.

The game was over, and Iguodala didn't hug the opposing player as usual, but walked straight to the player's tunnel, his back was so lonely, even the Grizzlies' No. 3 felt the same.

Iguodala's actions may seem undignified to others, but Li Feng doesn't think so.

Big man, dare to love and hate, no need to hesitate!

The back of the Nine was so lonely, but he carried the Philadelphia sky on his shoulders, even though it was dark and gloomy.

At the post-game press conference, Hollins was still the boss Guy, and the media's prediction of Li Feng did not appear at the press conference, although Li Feng got 16 minutes to play in this game, and cut four points, eleven rebounds, five assists and four blocks of all-around statistics.

"My players have done their best and although we lost the game, I believe the team is on the right track and as long as we continue like this, we will do better!"

76ers head coach Eddie Jordan left the press conference after leaving such a formulaic statement.

As a loser, he knew that it would be redundant for him to stay here, and that instead of being embarrassed, he would better give more time to the winning Grizzlies.

Sure enough, the reporters weren't interested in the 76ers, a team on the verge of collapse, and they turned all their energy into the Grizzlies, who have been on the verge of collapse lately.

When Hollins and Guy entered, the small press conference scene suddenly turned silvery white, and the reporters did not skimp on their films, and after shooting wildly for a while, they thought of asking questions.

"Coach Hollins, what do you think about the team's opening two wins in a row to the season?"

Orthodox question, from the same orthodox ESPN TV reporter.

For this kind of problem, Hollins, who has seen the world, is naturally handy:

"I think with the current configuration of the team, as long as there are no injuries, the winning streak is normal. However, this is not a regular season, and it is not a fake playoffs, so, there is nothing to celebrate, and we are aiming for the playoffs, so we will hold ourselves to the standards of the playoffs. ”

Hollins' words caused an uproar among the reporters sitting in the audience, and they should know that this is the first time that the calm Hollins has exposed the Grizzlies' 'ambitions' in public.

However, after the winning streak, a group of reporters did not feel that there was anything abrupt and inappropriate about Hollins' words, and it was strange that the Grizzlies roster was not looking forward to the playoffs with their performance.

With Hollins' sophistication, he naturally would not give the reporter any opportunity to take advantage of, and the reporter still did not give up.

"What do you think of Li Feng's performance today?"

"My opinion is that the striker has a lot of potential, he brings a tough defense to Memphis and is an integral part of us!"

Hollins cautiously commented on Lee's performance and didn't throw out anything like "the next Ben Wallace" and "has the potential to be Unselder."

However, reporters are not simple, grasping the "indispensable" and stalking.

"Indispensable? Grizzly bears to rebuild around that Chinese? ”

"Sorry, rebuild, I heard me wrong? We have never destroyed, how can there be reconstruction! ”

Hollins was not fooled, and directly changed the concept to answer, and left the press conference after speaking.
