Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 157 Score 8 points in 21 minutes, Albert: There is still a gap between games!
On May 5, in the Key Arena in Seattle, the opening game of the Western Conference finals of the NBA playoffs was underway... well, it was not that tense.

The time came to 8 minutes into the second quarter, and the score had reached 46:58, with a difference of 12 points.

During a dead ball session, Carlisle waved his hand and made five ups and downs. Lu Fengkamp and others were all replaced by a wave. The game was not half over, and in Carlisle's view, it had entered garbage time.

The four minutes of the second quarter ended quickly, and the score reached 4:56, with only 66 points left. However, when the SuperSonics left the field at midfield, they all looked relaxed and there was no tension on their faces, as if they had just opened up the field. There is no such thing as chasing 10 points in 4 minutes.

However, the offense displayed by the Blazers in 4 minutes was indeed strong, and the fans also discovered that the Blazers are not weak, but the Supersonics are too strong, which makes them appear to be broken at the touch of a touch.

"Did you see my dunk? I felt like I was about to smash the rim! How many times did I dunk in the first half? I felt like it was at least 7 times!"

"Sorry Sean, I only remember the shot you got blocked by the Croatian, sorry I couldn't help it... Dude, you got blocked by a croatian jerk!"

The Sonics locker room was full of laughter and laughter, but Carlisle didn't bother to see this situation, because even he was thinking about Kemp's favorite question at the moment-what's for dinner tonight?
After sitting for a while to relax his uncomfortable waist from standing for a long time, Carlisle stood up and clapped his hands to attract the attention of other people in the locker room.

"Guys, look at me! I am very satisfied with your performance in the first half. Although we also had some problems, but fortunately they are all minor problems, not serious in my opinion.

The next thing I want to say is: cheer me up, especially you Lark, it's time for you to work hard next, we strive to win the game in only three quarters, you also want to take it easy, right?

In this case, cheer me up and try to open the point difference to more than 20 points in the third quarter!
Whenever the point difference exceeds 20 points, I will make substitutions. You know what I mean, and I will definitely do what I say! "

Carlisle is still a deterrent in the locker room. Now that he has spoken, everyone in the Sonics knows that the third quarter must be played more seriously than before, and they must be more dedicated.

The two veteran drivers, Harper and Perkins, know that the next game is to prove who is the real third leader of the Supersonics!

Harper: Is this a question that still needs to be asked?The supersonic's third-in-command is of course...

Perkins: Me!
Lu Feng patted Harper and Barros, and reminded: "I will start scoring next, and the organization of the team will be handed over to you. Don't you always want to prove that you are stronger and can adapt to the playoffs? Now, it's time for you to prove yourself!"

"If you can keep Terry in check, believe me, your next contract will be at least tens of millions!"

Baros's eyes lit up, and his eyes became longing...

Thinking about how high-spirited he was when he first became Lu Feng's starting fifth position last year, his popularity soared in a short period of time, and even entered the discussion among fans about who is the second in charge of the Supersonics.

As a result, due to the poor performance in the playoffs, the fans and media gradually forgot about it.

Of course, Barros was angry. In any case, his supersonic shooting level was second only to Lu Feng. This season, he practiced his confrontation ability, but his shooting ability has no effect, which is enough to prove his talent.

However, the people who were optimistic about him no longer praised him as they used to, which hit him very hard.

But he knows that just because the fans and the media don't understand the game doesn't mean that the NBA management doesn't understand the game. He believes that as long as he proves that he still has potential, there will be teams who will offer him an olive branch to actively recruit him!

Barros's goal now is to get rid of the status of a role player and become the core force of a strong team in the playoffs first.

Of course, salary is also a part of it. 99% of players in the NBA play basketball to make money, and Burrows is no exception. Thinking that he will soon be able to sign a contract worth tens of millions, Burrows can't help but turn red... …

Barros patted his chest and promised: "Leave it to me, I promise I won't let the ugly monster on the opposite side score more than 5 points. If I can't do it, then I will play as a substitute for all subsequent games!"

"That's right, that's it! But don't be so exaggerated, be careful not to get hurt, and speak out if you feel uncomfortable."

Lu Feng remembered how Baros was destroyed in his previous life. Although he was not a glass man after two seasons of observation, some injuries could not be avoided with a good physique. With injuries and illnesses, there are simply too many such unlucky ones!

After the midfield timeout, the players come on the field.

From the employment of the Supersonics, fans know that the Supersonics will start to exert their strength again next, Barros, Lu Feng, Harper, Kemp, Perkins.

This is the strongest lineup for the Sonics against the Trail Blazers. There is no weakness in both offense and defense. If you really want to be picky, there is only one Barros who is not very good.

After Draxler came up, he looked at Lu Feng who was chewing gum calmly in front of him, and he would inevitably feel angry at the other party's contemptuous attitude.

Draxler: Pretending to be X, or relying on teammates?

Then Draxler immediately reached out for the ball without even thinking about it. The ball... where is the ball?
Draxler waited for a long time and didn't wait for Terry Porter's pass. When he looked back at Terry Porter, he realized that Burrows had cast death coil on him at some point without retaining any physical energy. the meaning of.

Burrows put his body tightly against Terry Porter. Terry Porter was exhausted to maintain the non-stop ball. How could he have the energy to pass the ball to Draxler? Now he just wants to hurry up Come to a teammate to support him, no matter who is fine, as long as he helps him out of the siege, he is his good brother.

Terry Porter didn't wait too long, and saw Draxler running over. He was about to pass the ball, but when he looked carefully, he found that Lu Feng was also following him.

Don't look at Lu Feng's listless expression, the main reason is that he has been provoked by Draxler too many times in this game, and he is already immune.

After Terry Porter's hesitation, he had already stopped the ball, and in order to better pass the ball to Draxler, he had already raised one foot. If he didn't pass the ball again, he would Walking violation.

Fortunately, at this moment, Terry Porter saw Petronovich running from the other side out of the corner of his eye, and quickly sent the ball to the opponent with a back pass.

Under the interference of Barros, Terry Porter didn't pass the ball very well. When Petronovich received the ball, Kemp had already followed.

Draxler knew that although Petronović's pass was not good, it was still good, so he started an air cut the moment the opponent received the ball, and relied on decisive decision-making to get half a distance from Lu Feng.

However, in the end he failed to make an empty cut, because Petronovich didn't pass the ball at all!
After getting the ball, Petronovich first made a fake turn and shot to knock Kemp off, then immediately moved a step sideways to distance himself from Kempla, and then took a breakthrough jumper. Harper didn't have time Defense - Shua!

The first attack was successfully scored, and the point difference was reduced to 8 points!
Although he did not score the goal himself, Draxler was inevitably a little excited. Since 0:10 in the first quarter, the game point difference has never been reduced to single digits. After playing for so long, he finally watched A glimmer of hope for a comeback!

As long as the point difference is still in single digits, Draxler believes that he has a chance to recover, because he is in too good a state for this game!
With 26 points in the half, this is an experience Draxler has never experienced in the past. He has reason to believe that he, who is in such an explosive state, definitely has the opportunity to lead the team to a comeback!
It was the Sonics' turn to attack. Terry Porter wanted to use Death Coil to retaliate when Burrows was dribbling. However, after the two collided, Terry Porter discovered that Burrows could push him with his strength. Keep dribbling!

After dribbling for halftime, Barros looked around to observe the situation on the field, and found that Lu Feng's chance to catch the ball was not too bad, so he passed the ball without hesitation.

After Lu Feng got the ball, he found that Draxler was not following very closely, so he feinted a shot and faked a shot, but Draxler didn't respond at all.

Draxler: How can I react, anyway, will I pass the ball in the end?
路枫上半场发挥平常，“仅得”14分3篮板8助攻3抢断2盖帽。

The defensive stats were pretty good, and I got the stats that can only be obtained in a full game at halftime, but this is mainly because Draxler has too much possession of the ball, so the stats of Lu Feng, who has been playing against the opponent all the time, are so good nice.

In the first half, Lu Feng scored either a counterattack or a half-open shot. Draxler subconsciously felt that Lu Feng would not be able to play by himself.

After feinting for a while, Draxler did not respond. Lu Feng was very confused, so he feinted a second time.

However, Draxler just stretched out his hand and didn't move his feet at all. Anyone can see that he is not serious about defending.

The reason Draxler doesn't defend seriously is simple - to save energy.

With close to 20 shots in the half, Draxler is all numb, and it is naturally impossible to increase investment on the defensive end.

What's more, Draxler's defense itself is not good. As the only guard who can compete with Jordan in the early 90s, Draxler has been dubbed the "second guard in the league" for a long time.

In order to avoid Jordan from entering the first team, Draxler signed up for the small forward position very early. However, even so, he only entered the first team once in his entire career because his defense was criticized.

In the 90s when all the heroes came together, if you wanted to be in the best lineup, your defense must not be too weak.

Throughout Draxler's entire career, he has never been in the All-Defensive Team!
The best defensive team is selected by coaches' votes, and the problem can be seen from this: every coach knows that Draxler's defense has problems!
Two consecutive triple threats, but Draxler didn't even move. Lu Feng didn't know whether it was himself or Draxler who was stupid.

Lu Feng: Do you want to prevent it? Do you think I really voted?

No matter what Lu Feng does, Ah Hua will not be moved. Since you don't move, then Lu Feng will not be polite.

Lifting the ball up for the third time, Lu Feng directly made a "melon dry pull", which didn't even work if he leaned back!

Since Draxler doesn't defend, Lu Feng simply saves some energy and doesn't have to lean back. Anyway, the main thing is to score.

- Swish!

Dry pull and scored, the contrast returned to double digits!

Seeing Lu Feng's goal, Adelman had no choice but to slap his face with a "pop" sound.

Adelman: To be pulled upright by a Lu Feng who is seven or eight centimeters shorter than him, Ah Hua is indeed you!

When it was the Blazers' turn to attack, Draxler raised his hand again to ask for the ball, only to find that Terry Porter was entangled by Barros again, unable to pass the diagonal pass.

Draxler: Second brother, second brother, I'm not tired of big brother, I can't believe how much you just beat!

Terry Porter was also very helpless. Barros, who was on the opposite side, had been haunting him for some time after the third quarter. He was very difficult to deal with. The opponent was not so strong in the last match!

Burrows: You don't think that Lu Feng and those two old fritters are the only ones for the Sonics in the regular season, do you?The core of the team is like this, how can we be serious as role players?Except that Kemp has a bad mind and has been going all out, who didn't play with three-pointers during the Sonics regular season?

In order to avoid Terry Porter passing the ball to Peternovic again, Draxler directly accelerated and ran to a position 10 feet away from the basket and near the middle of the field to receive the ball.

This time Terry Porter didn't look for shame and passed the ball to Draxler decisively.

However, after Draxler received the ball, before he could be happy, he was fiercely pressed by Lu Feng!

Lu Feng: Catching the ball at this position, Ah Hua, do you look down on Lao Tzu's steals or your own dribbling?

As Lu Feng scrambled, Draxler's dribbling rhythm quickly went wrong. The two insisted on holding the ball together with four hands, and the referee quickly blew his whistle—beep beep!

Then a dramatic scene appeared, Draxler actually lost to Lu Feng in the jump ball!

The two of them touched the ball almost at the same time, but because the ball was fought close to the midfield, Lu Feng hit the ball with his forehand, and Draxler had to catch the ball with his backhand. As a result, Lu Feng's power was smoother and he easily defeated De Raxler gave the ball to Harper on the fast break.

Draxler lost to Kemp in the jump ball at the beginning, but now it was replaced by Lu Feng, and he still couldn't jump. I can only say that he is worthy of the Blazers. Fans can always trust the Blazers' jump balls!

Harper tried a fast break, but was blocked by Peternovich and Buck Williams. After the fast break failed, he had no choice but to turn around and find his teammates.

After receiving the pass from Harper, Lu Feng squatted down. Although Draxler was more serious about defending, the problem was still serious. Lu Feng pulled it up again, and shot with a little back——shua!

Lu Feng scored 4 points in a row at the start, and Draxler had a bad feeling...

It turned out that this was where it was, and in the next few minutes, Draxler knew what the gap was!
In the third offensive round, Lu Feng missed a three-pointer from the outside, but rushed into the basket to grab a rebound, then turned around and jumped up to dunk Buck Williams on the spot!

Then, Lu Feng changed direction and broke through Draxler, entered the penalty area in two steps, and then scored a layup with a lever!

As Lu Feng scored 8 points in a row, the Blazers gradually began to strengthen their defense against Lu Feng. However, the effect is not obvious, it can only be said that it is almost none!

Although he was obviously being targeted, Lu Feng did not change his offensive strategy. In the 3rd minute of the third quarter, Lu Feng broke through to the inside with Draxler, and after Draxler, Jerome Corsi and Buck William Under the three-man double-team of James, instead of passing the ball or making a layup, he used a backhand move after pulling the lever - boom! ! !

At the same time...beep beep, the referee whistled, and under the siege of the three, Lu Feng still played 2+1 strongly!

This dunk can be said to completely defeat the Blazers' psychological defense that lasted for most of the game. The so-called defeat is in an instant!

In the next few minutes, Lu Feng played again and again, scoring, rebounding, passing, defending... showing his all-roundness to the fullest!

Whoa - at 7 minutes and 40 seconds of the third quarter, Lu Feng suddenly shot a cold arrow from two steps outside the three-point line and scored a three-pointer from far away!
随着这球打进，比分也来到了67:89，超音速全队8分钟不到爆砍31分，路枫更是单节拿下了21分3篮板2助攻2抢断！

Carlisle didn't expect that. He thought that the Supersonics would need at least one quarter to widen the point difference to 20 points. As a result, after Lu Feng started to exert his strength, he completed the task he assigned in only 8 minutes.

Although there was more than one quarter left in the game, Carlisle did what he said, and he replaced all the Sonics in the starting lineup!
At the end of the game, the score was 98:106, and the Sonics beat the Trail Blazers by 8 points at home!
"The game is over, congratulations to the Sonics for winning the opening game of the Western Conference finals, and congratulations to the Portlanders, the torture of the Sonics is finally over!

Although the score difference at the end of the game was only 8 points, as long as the fans who watched the whole game knew how desperate this game was for the Blazers!

Since the 8th minute of the third quarter, Luck has never played again. It is too easy for the Sonics to win! "

Albert looked at the full-time statistics just sent, paused, and then continued: "Clyde Draxler scored a game-high 51 points, congratulations on becoming a new Mr. 50 in the playoffs !

At the same time, 51 points also surpassed his 89 points against the Kings in the regular season of the 90-50 season, which is the highest score of Draxler's career!

But what I want to say is that although Draxler scored 51 points, this does not prove anything. The gap in strength between his Luck is too obvious!

Lark just made a little effort in the middle, and easily brought the game to garbage time. Draxler resisted the whole time, but we all know the final result. Draxler's counterattack was so weak, even if he got 51 The same goes for points!
Draxler has proven himself to be one of the five best basketball players in the world, and Luck...

Get rid of that damn 'one', he's the best basketball player on earth! "

路枫出战30分钟，拿到35分6篮板10助攻5抢断4盖帽。

德拉克斯勒全场出战42分钟，39投18中，三分球7中2，罚球14中13拿到51分7篮板4助攻1抢断。

Draxler's data is indeed better, but in terms of scoring efficiency and scoring explosiveness, Lu Feng is still the stronger one.

What's more, except for scoring, Lu Feng is better than Draxler in other aspects. Defense, organization, support... These things are all that Draxler doesn't have.

　I will work overtime today, and will resume the morning update tomorrow.
