Chapter Seventy-Two: The First Victory Over James
A cute little girl, crying to her mother next to her, said, "Mom, I want to buy a size 0 sneaker, he hated James, it's incredible, did you see it." ”
"Baby, he still hasn't made signed sneakers, so he can't buy them, let's buy Kobe Bryant's sneakers, okay?"
"Okay, but Kobe Bryant's sneakers, I have them, so let's buy 0 good jerseys, okay? I'm going to buy 6 pieces, wear one a day, and wear Bryant's on Sunday. May I? Mom," the little girl looked at her mother with big watery eyes.
"Yes, as long as you're happy, we'll buy it, and we'll buy it when the break ends."
The little girl kissed her mother with satisfaction, "Mom, I know that you love me the most."
Listening to the child's laughter like a silver bell, the mother was also very happy.
After capping James, Feng Feng also began to use the blocking and dismantling of the inside line, and began to run out constantly, also in order to continuously consume James.
Feng Feng also used the block and successfully hit two three-pointers.
With three minutes remaining, James was substituted.
The Zen master also arranged for Feng Feng to rest, and the score difference remained at about 10 points.
Feng Feng came to the bench, received a drink from the staff, and drank it in a big gulp.
After drinking the water, Feng Feng lay on his seat, recovering his strength, because there were still two quarters left to defend James.
Vujacic did it to Feng Feng's side.
Vujacic was also the 27th pick in the first round of the Lakers in '04.
But after a season, Vujasic's playing time is still not as much as that of the newcomer Feng Feng.
After Feng Feng chased James, Vujasic changed from the initial hostility towards Feng Feng.
Vujacic also fully realized from time to time that he was indeed inferior to Feng Feng, and he was not in the same position, there was no need for the two to have contradictions, if the relationship was better, when he was on the bench, he would give Feng Feng a few more passes, and his assists would also increase a lot, Feng Feng's shooting rate was very high, although there had been some declines in recent times, but overall, it was still very good.
"Feng, you're so handsome, how did you do it, it's so cool." Vujasic's feelings for Feng Feng have improved a lot, although Feng Feng is a bit violent, but he is still very friendly to his teammates.
"It's okay, I didn't think much about it at the time, I just thought that I should be able to catch up with James, so I chased after it desperately." Feng Feng and Wu Jia Xiqi chatted.
During intermission.
"Kobe, you did a great job today and successfully completed our previous arrangement. Feng Feng, you also did a good job, successfully completing the task of defending James. ”
After the Zen master said this, Feng Feng reached out and touched his chest, it hurt too much.
"You're amazing, Feng." Odom saw Feng Feng's somewhat funny expression, and reached out and punched Feng Feng in the chest.
Feng Feng, who was in pain, grinned.
"Odom, if you touch me, I'll kill you."
The Lakers players all laughed, and all the players relaxed.
"Kobe, why don't we change it, you defend James, you are the best, I like to watch the duel between superstars the most." Feng Feng is making a final effort to find someone to change the defense of James.
"No, no, no, I'm not in the same position as him, so it's not appropriate to defend like this, or you come, I'm optimistic about you, you can."
Feng Feng held his mouth and said, "Look at the ghost, you're just afraid that your old arms and legs won't work." ”
Kobe Bryant said shamelessly, "I'm giving you a chance, such an opportunity is rare, you have to seize this opportunity, you can't miss such a good opportunity." ”
Vujacic did Feng Feng's side and said, "We are all optimistic about you, don't miss the opportunity to learn." ”
Feng Feng was about to explode in an instant, "Vujasic, the game is over, I want to fight you alone." ”
The Lakers have been in a good atmosphere because of their good record this year.
A win can cover all the problems, and a loss can also nullify all the advantages.
At the beginning of the second half, Kobe Bryant kept attacking the Cavaliers' interior and caused continuous kills.
On the other hand, on the Cavaliers' side, although James has also made consecutive breakthroughs, the pressure on the Lakers is very small, because the purpose of the Lakers is to let James beat himself, but it can be seen that in this game, the Cavaliers have no hope.
But the mighty James will never give up, even if there is a glimmer of hope.
In the fourth quarter, Kobe and Feng Feng were scheduled to play early, while James only rested for a few minutes at the end of the third quarter.
There was no rest at all in the fourth quarter.
Feng Feng also seized the opportunity to see James' physical strength decline, and the danger on the defensive end dropped sharply, because he left his physical strength on the offensive end, if it weren't for this, the Cavaliers would have collapsed long ago.
Feng Feng is breaking through with the ball, launching Sam Gold, using scissor steps.
Feng Feng's mind moved, his figure flashed, and he used a large change of direction to break through James and hit a layup directly.
In this way, James and Kobe Bryant launched an attack for one by one.
The score between the two sides has maintained a 10-point difference.
In the last two minutes, Feng Feng and Odom hit three-point shots after receiving Kobe's pass.
However, the helpers around James haven't made a move for too long, and all the touches have dropped a lot, after two consecutive attacks and iron strikes.
The difference came to 16 points.
Mike Brown saw that he had no chance of turning the tables, so he could only replace James and announce that he would abandon the game.
After James went off the court, the Zen master also gentlemanly replaced Kobe Bryant and Feng Feng from the court.
When the final whistle sounds.
The Lakers won 98-105, and Feng Feng also beat James for the first time, although the difference between the two was not small, James scored 35 points, while Feng Feng only scored 14 points.
It's still a disadvantage in terms of data.
"Haha, Smith, you lost again this time, I'll give you a suggestion, you shouldn't be a black maniac anymore, but I want you to be a black maniac, because then I'll win more games." Barkley looked at Smith with a black face.
Smith also wondered why he could still score 14 points in the face of James' defense.
Smith was very helpless, but if he lost, he lost, and he completed the bet very singlely, and Barkley did not embarrass Smith anymore, after all, there will be times when he loses in bets in the future.
Post-match interview.
"James, can I ask, after this game, what do you think of the Lakers' No. 0 rookie?"
James's sleekness is the opposite of Kobe's toughness, so James will not offend Feng Feng.
"He's very good, especially defensively, and I think he's a good rookie player."
"So James, do you think he has a chance of being the best rookie? Because you've won Rookie of the Year before, can you tell me about that? ”
Well, there is no need for James to refuse, anyway, there is no harm to himself "I think he and Paul are the most likely to compete for this year's best rookie." ”
"Really? James, do you think he's better than Bogut? ”
"No, no, no, I didn't say that, I've only been in opposition to Feng Feng, and Bogut I haven't been in opposition to him, so I won't make an evaluation." James is not guilty of both, but he doesn't understand it that way.
"So do you think the loss of this game is a big blow to the morale of the Cavaliers, who should be responsible for the loss of this game?"
"I don't think a loss in one game is a big blow to the morale of the Cavaliers, have you seen a team that hasn't lost in a season? I should take responsibility for the loss of this game. ”
.......
As for the Lakers' press conference, Kobe Bryant and Odom attended the press conference, and Feng Feng's data was not good, so he did not attend the press conference.
Feng Feng was too tired from this game and was reluctant to go to the press conference, and the Zen master agreed.
"Kobe, what do you think of James' performance in this game?"
Kobe Bryant is usually not very willing to be interviewed, so he answers questions on his own way, and he will not be like James, who is unwilling to offend people.
"I think James played well, but it was still me who won in the end." Kobe Bryant is very happy, and he will definitely make the playoffs this season, so he still greets the questions he remembers.
"Kobe, Feng Feng didn't perform well today, did he encounter the rookie wall, or did there be other problems?"
"What, you say it again, you said that Feng Feng didn't play well, how good should he be, you have to remember that he is a rookie, and he is a rookie in the second round, with an average of 17 points per game, and you still say that his performance is not good. I still scored 14 points against James's defense today, and I'm talking about James who defended with all his might. ”
Bryant paused slightly.
"You look at this first-round pick, and there are so many people who have won so many people under James' full defense, and you look at those first-round picks, there are still a lot of people who haven't played, do you understand basketball, I suspect you're an entertainment reporter."
After Kobe Bryant finished speaking, the others laughed, and wrote down Kobe's words, and there was news to write.
"Kobe, just now James said that Feng Feng has the ability to compete for the best rookie, what do you think?"
"I think Feng Feng has such an ability, you have to know, I was still a rookie back then, and I only averaged a few points per game? I feel like he's a good contender for recent rookies. ”
Bryant replied in the affirmative, because he thought so too.
"Excuse me, Odom, do you think that because of Feng Feng's arrival, it has affected your playing time?"
This began to dig a pit, and Odom also knew that Feng Feng was very good, and the Zen master and Kobe Bryant were more interested in Feng Feng, so they would not say bad things about Feng Feng, so it would not be a person who offended.
"How is it possible, you don't see that my playing time has not been shortened?" Odom replied.
Soon the interview ended.
The work of remembering has just begun.
It didn't take long for reporters to send out today's report.
"James said Feng Feng is the best rookie"
"James Says Feng Feng and Paul Are Better Than Bogut"
Los Angeles Basketball Newspaper "Lakers Pick the Best Rookie in the Second Round"
Feng Feng didn't know what James said in the interview after the match.
Because I was too tired, I went back early to rest.
When he returned to his residence, Feng Feng found that his body was all blue and purple.
Touching it with his hand, Feng Feng felt pain.
