Chapter 20
Can you complete a high-quality defense when your physical talent is at a disadvantage?
Of course you can!
At this time, defensive awareness and skills are particularly important!
Lin Feng's physical talent is currently average, but his S-level [outside defense] ability has already given him top-level defensive awareness and skills!
At this time, Lin Feng showed a strong defensive prediction ability!
With a quick lateral slide, Lin Feng directly blocked Hayward's right breakthrough route!
"Bang!"
The two of them had a passionate physical collision!
The physical disadvantage made Lin Feng take a step back uncontrollably!
However, Hayward's breakthrough was also delayed!
If Hayward had used brute force just now, he would probably be called for an offensive foul by the referee!
At this time, the league's whistle has begun to develop towards a physical whistle!
Whether it is for offense or defense!
Hayward was obviously a little unconvinced in his heart. How could he be defended by the rookie in front of him?
With a behind-the-back dribble, Hayward switched the ball to his left hand and pretended to break through from the left!
But in fact, Hayward's breakthrough direction was still the right side!
Lin Feng's sliding step was particularly fast, completely keeping up with every offensive choice of Hayward!
""Bang!"
Another physical confrontation, and Hayward failed to break through again!
On the sidelines, Stotts' eyes were already shining!
Lin Feng is really good!
The defensive ability shown in the previous game was not luck!
It was not a flash in the pan!
It was Lin Feng's defensive talent that had not been fully discovered!
This time he picked up a treasure!
Stotts was ecstatic!
On the court, Hayward felt a little embarrassed after being continuously defended by Lin Feng!
After retreating to receive the ball, Hayward relied on his height advantage and jumped up directly for a pull-up shot!
Top shot to Lin Feng!
Lin Feng's reaction was also very quick!
It was too difficult to jump up and block Hayward's shot!
It was not something that Lin Feng could do with his current physical fitness!
After his jumping ability was greatly enhanced, he might give it a try!
At this time, Lin Feng chose to take a quick step forward and hit Hayward's lower body!
At the same time, he raised his arms high to interfere with Hayward's shot!
Sure enough, Hayward felt his lower body tighten, and his jumping force was not sufficient, so he could not fully stretch his body in the air!
Even the shape of his hand was affected!
"Bang!"
Hayward hit the iron angrily!
"Perfect defense!"
Stotts on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud Lin Feng!
Plumlee in the paint took the rebound and passed the ball to Lillard to advance!
Lillard gave Lin Feng a thumbs up!
Awesome!
""Hehe!"
Lin Feng grinned!
It's nothing!
It's just a drizzle!
At the same time, he blew a kiss to Christine on the sidelines!
Damn it!
Lillard felt that he was shown off by Lin Feng, and he almost couldn't maintain his expression!
And Christine smiled again!
This little brother is so interesting!
For a moment, Christine was a little reminded of her brother in the play"Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk"!
When looking at Lin Feng again, Christine had a different feeling!
As an actor, sometimes you get too deep into the play and confuse the play with the outside world!
After Lillard passed the half court, he called for a pick-and-roll directly!
Meyers Leonard quickly came up!
With the help of the pick-and-roll, Lillard decisively shot a long-range three-pointer!
""Swish!"
Steady!
For other players, such a long-distance three-point shot depends on luck!
But for Lillard, it has become a regular weapon!
Don't be surprised if it hits!
3:0!
Lin Feng and Lillard's one defense and one offense won a good start for the Trail Blazers!
Stotts on the sidelines wanted to clap his hands and laugh at this moment!
The backcourt duo of Lin Feng and Lillard played the basketball style he wanted!
The Jazz attacked.
Hayward missed another shot against Lin Feng's defense!
Lin Feng's defense of the lower body made him very uncomfortable!
Hayward's lower limb strength is still lacking!
But this time the rebound was grabbed by Gobert!
Gobert dunked it himself!
His height and long arms give Gobert a huge advantage in rebounding!
Whether it is a frontcourt rebound or a backcourt rebound!
3:2!
The Jazz got back two points!
The game started to become a back-and-forth game!
However, since taking the lead at the start, the Trail Blazers have never fallen behind and have always maintained their lead!
Hayward surprised everyone by being locked down by Lin Feng, a little-known rookie guard!
This greatly reduced the Jazz's offensive power and forced them to rely on inside offense!
And the inside offense's 2-point 2-point hard-hitting can't compare to Coach Lee's swiping shots from the outside!
At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Jazz by 8 points with 32:24!
The situation was very good!
Lin Feng only took one shot in the first quarter and scored two points!
All other data were zero!
But!
No one will ignore Lin Feng's presence in the first quarter!
Lin Feng only made 2 of 9 shots from Hayward!
Those 2 shots were made by Hayward after he got rid of Lin Feng through a pick-and-roll!
Unknowingly, Hayward was already a little afraid to shoot when facing Lin Feng's defense!
And Lin Feng's defensive effect has improved the overall defensive quality of the Trail Blazers!
After Aminu switched to the back line, he restricted Hood very well!
After all, he has an overall advantage in height, wingspan and tonnage!
At the same time, Aminu can occasionally fill in for Lillard!
The Trail Blazers were able to take the lead in the first quarter, and Lin Feng made a great contribution!
"Forest!"
"Well done!"
"Great defense!"
After returning to the bench, Stotts also punched Lin Feng's chest!
As a head coach, such a move is already a very intimate performance!
Stotts now sees Lin Feng, his eyes are full of praise!
"I'm rough?!"
"2 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 blocks, 0 steals?"
Lin Feng was shocked at this moment!
He saw his technical statistics in the first quarter!
"Eh——!"
Lin Feng sighed deeply!
At this moment, he understood the meaning of Zhan's defense!
The desperate defense has a huge effect on the team, but it has no bonus to his own data!
Unless there are blocks and steals, no matter how good the defense is, it cannot be reflected in the data!
What is a bit paradoxical is that blocks and steals themselves have a bit of gambling-style defense, which is not really good defense!
Success is reflected in the data, but failure is completely out of position!
It will give the opposing players the opportunity to score easily!
"Forest!"
"Don’t worry about the data!"
"The whole team has seen your role on the defensive end!"
Stouts said that he understood the young people's pursuit of data and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder!
When appropriate, you can let Lin Feng score more points as compensation!
These are all feasible!
"Forest!"
"I will pass the ball to you more in the subsequent games, you can shoot as much as you want!"
Lillard also came over to comfort Lin Feng.
In the first quarter, Lillard shot very happily again!
5 of 7 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, plus free throws, he scored 14 points!
Lillard's offensive state this season seems to be very hot!
"Stop!"
"Am I the kind of person who likes to brush data?"
"If I don’t go to hell, who will?"
"This is definitely the worst time I've ever been hacked!"
"I solemnly declare that I am not a data brush!"
At this moment, Lin Feng became [righteous] again!
"Good person!"
"What a player!"
"If every player has the same awareness as Lin, there is no need to worry about not winning the championship!"
At this moment, Stotts and Lillard are all about to [fall]!
No!
They are fooled!
