Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 81 Great victory over the Jazz, the Warriors transfer turmoil!
"This is the ruler Kemp, he dominated the game, and he used singles to break through the base of Salt Lake City!"

"Luck not only taught him to dunk, he also gave Kemp his swaying step. He is now unstoppable!"

"Jeff Malone must be desperate now. The Jazz need double-teams. Kemp can't be allowed to continue playing like this!"

"Matt, are you serious, double-team Kemp, what about Nalak?"

"That's the problem, of course when Luck and Kemp are on the court at the same time, no team can guard both of them at the same time!"

……

At the end of the first quarter, Kemp scored 6 of 5 in a single quarter, 5 of which were 3 dunks, two of which were dunks, and 4 of 3 free throws. In a single quarter, he scored 13 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and his efficiency exploded. !
After one quarter of the game, the Supersonics led the Jazz by 34 points at 24:10, with 34 points in a single quarter. The Jazz could not accept such a high efficiency of the Supersonics in a single quarter.

The Jazz has always been famous for their defense, but they were led by 10 points in a single quarter by the Supersonics, and they still led by 10 points in an away game. Not to mention the players and coaches of Jazz fans, even other teams who watched this game also accepted it. no.

Although the Supersonics have Lu Feng, in the eyes of many championship teams, they are at best a playoff-level team, far from being a championship contender.

The NBA playoffs are more confrontational and the scale is higher. In the playoffs, many defensive moves that cannot be used in the regular season are no longer restricted. Lu Feng is just a rookie, and he cannot revitalize the team by himself.

Although Harper has strength, he is still a rookie in the playoffs and has never played in the playoffs.

Moreover, Harper is just a shooter and lacks offensive ability. In the playoffs, he can only be a role player at most and is not a threat.

In the eyes of other teams, the biggest threat to the Supersonics in the playoffs is Lu Feng and Perkins, and the others are nothing to worry about.

But Kemp's consecutive singles made other teams see the real difficulty of the Sonics, and the Sonics had a real triple-core.

In the NBA during this period, the strength of the teams is uneven. Even the playoff teams have many bastard teams, and they pull their hips as soon as the playoffs come.

After many years of competition, most powerful teams have summed up the rules. If they want to compete for the championship, there must be at least three players in the team who can attack.

If Kemp really evolves into a star-level attacker, it means that the Sonics have leapt into a championship-level team.

This is not good news for other teams in the league, because it means that the Sonics have found the core of the team. As long as the team is built around Lu Feng and Kemp, they can maintain their strength for many years.

Lu Feng and Kemp are both young players. Kemp has just turned 21 years old, and Lu Feng is less than 17 and a half years old. The Supersonics will build a team around the two of them, which can make the Supersonics flourish for ten years!
There is no shortage of players in the league who can attack. Even if Perkins does not play in the future, the Sonics can find players from other teams who can replace him. In addition, with a few role players, the Sonics can continue to be strong .

At the beginning of the season, the Sonics became more and more courageous, and even got the first record in the league, which shocked all teams.

But after two months of the game, the East and West championship teams no longer cared about the Supersonics, and turned to study other opponents.

The Western teams will study the Supersonics a little bit, while the Eastern teams directly ignore the Supersonics, not thinking that the Supersonics can rush out of the West.

The Western teams are more offensive, and the Eastern teams are better at defensive. The league has been dominated by the Eastern Conference for the past few years. Several teams in the Eastern Conference scoffed at the offensive tactical style of the Western Conference.

The Sonics are different. The Sonics are a team with a balanced offense and defense.

In terms of offense, the Sonics are not as good as the Trail Blazers and Lakers, and in terms of defense, the Sonics are not as good as the Jazz, Bulls or Pistons.

The nondescript style of the Sonics has been ignored until this game, when they defeated the Jazz in one quarter and caught countless teams off guard.

All the tacticians who watched the game cheered up and wanted to see if the Supersonics could stabilize their state.

Then, something happened that made them grit their teeth in anger.

As soon as the Sonics came up in the second quarter, they even sent all the substitutes!
Supersonic: I have always been like this, are you still not used to it?
Unlike the Supersonics, the Jazz still dispatched their main force in the second quarter. The only change was that they replaced Mark Eaton with Searle Bailey.

The most amazing thing about the Jazz is that they have stocked three big centers, namely Mark Eaton, Mike Brown and Searle Bailey.

All three are starting-level fifth positions. Except for Mike Brown, who is weak, the other two are very good.

What is even more unacceptable to other teams is that Ser Bailey is obviously capable, but he is unwilling to leave Salt Lake City. He would rather stay in the Jazz with less money. .

After the start of the second quarter, Malone began to work hard, frequently taking the ball to singles Derek McKay.

Derek McKay is a fully weakened version of Malone, who is suppressed by Malone in all aspects. In addition, Sur Bailey can also suppress Michael Cage. Since the second quarter, the Supersonics have been suppressed by the Jazz.

Although the Sonics were suppressed, Jones did not switch to the starting lineup, because the second day after the Jazz, Hatsonic was going to San Francisco to play a back-to-back game with the Warriors.

In the situation where the scene is dominant, Jones' idea is naturally to rest as long as the main force can rest.

Tomorrow's game against the Warriors is equally important to the Sonics, it's a battle of revenge!
In addition, although the Jazz can suppress the Supersonics in most positions, the 10-point difference is not so easy to chase.

Because even if they are on the bench, the Sonics still have a point that the Jazz can't solve.

Dana Barros, who came off the bench, unilaterally suppressed Stockton!
Stockton: It still has to be me!
It is no surprise that Dana Burrows can suppress Stockton. It is a surprise that Burrows cannot beat Stockton. Stockton is notoriously defensive.

When the big teams in the league play against the Jazz, their favorite tactic is to name Stockton. Even if they can't beat the Jazz with hard power, the scene will not lose too badly.

At 6 minutes into the second quarter, the Jazz had closed the point difference to 4 points. During the official timeout, Jones had been hesitating whether to send two starters, but he became ruthless and decided to continue on the bench.

Tomorrow's game against the Warriors, he hopes that the Sonics can play with all their main players.

This season, the Warriors have also sprung up, and their current record even beats the Sonics, ranking fifth in the Western Conference.

This is Jones' first season coaching the Sonics, and he knows very well that his position in the Sonics is not so secure.

After discovering that the team is strong, Jones set the same goal for the team at the beginning of the season as Lu Feng, to reach the playoffs.

But now it is found that the team's strength has risen again, and Jones' goal has changed to at least reach the second round.

As an old fritter who has been in the league for many years, Jones knows very well that the safest way to reach the second round of the playoffs is to get the top four in the division.

In other words, the Sonics' record must catch up with the Jazz and Warriors.

Therefore, in the first two games in January, Jones attached great importance to it and didn't want to lose a game!
The Sonics still played with all substitutes. Jazz fans saw the hope of the team's overtake and sang songs to cheer up the team's morale.

But soon, Jazz fans were disappointed.

After returning from the timeout, the Sonics had the ball, and Dana Barros just dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and singled Stockton.

Facing Stockton's defense, Barrows made a small leap and hit a three-pointer directly, opening the point difference to 7 points. He watched Jerry Sloan shaking his head.

Karl Malone is the same. Stockton is speechless. This good brother of mine is good at attacking and passing the ball, but this is the defense...

He sighed helplessly, forced a smile on his face, and said to Stockton, "It's okay, John!"

Stockton's eyes lit up, looking forward to some words of encouragement from his good brother.

Malone: ​​"Anyway, you've always been like this, we're used to it!"

Stockton: ? ? ?
Give you a chance to organize your language, it's best to think about it before you speak!
Stockton didn't expect that it would be fine if he was bullied by an unknown rookie, and even his teammates would mock him.

As for Malone at this time, after talking to Stockton, he went back to prepare to serve.

Malone is very clear about Stockton's defense. In the future, there will be countless blows waiting for Stockton. Malone only hopes that he can correct his attitude earlier and accept this fact!
Malone: ​​My life is gray!
After scoring the goal, Barros smiled directly when he heard the conversation between the two, and said to Stockton: "Yes, you have to get used to it, I just cheered up now."

Stockton: ...

After getting along for two months, Dana Barros has learned a lot from Lu Feng. The two have similar styles. The difference between them is that Dana Barros takes more shots from the outside, while Lu Feng's breakthrough is sharper.

This is also the characteristic of Barros. What he is best at is shooting. Lu Feng has always encouraged him to make use of his strengths and shoot more when he is good at shooting.

For the rest of the second quarter, the Jazz's tactics remained unchanged-hand the ball to Malone!
But Karl Malone has been attacking for half a quarter, and his physical strength is not that good. The first ball after the Jazz came back from a timeout, Karl Malone signaled that the ball should be handed over to Jeff Malone.

Karl Malone: ​​Anyway, he is also an All-Star. If he can't beat Harper, he can't beat an unknown guard, right?

Jeff Malone: ​​No problem, leave it to me!

Who is the Sonics' backup number two?

It's McMillan!
When McMillan saw Jeff Malone take the ball, he immediately became excited.

McMillan: Yo, little man, want to eat me alone?
Who is the most underrated person in the Sonics, there is no doubt that it is McMillan!
Lu Feng taught him how to shoot and break through for two months, but he still failed to make all kinds of layups and shot hard.

Everyone in the Supersonics has confirmed that McMillan just has no offensive talent!

But even so, McMillan is still in the Sonics' long-term team building plan. Even if there is no offense, just relying on his defense and organization, the Sonics have his place!
The most important thing is that McMillan is cheap!
He can be used as a perimeter defensive vanguard, restricting the perimeter core of other teams, and doing dirty work. The team doesn't need to spend too much money, and a small middle class can be won. It's a lot of money!

In addition, McMillan is smart enough not to cause trouble, he knows that he is not good at attacking, and he will not fight randomly, so he can do whatever he is asked to do, and will bear the burden of hard work.

Someone like him, even if he is not in the Sonics, will be liked by other coaches, so it is even more impossible for the Sonics to let him go.

As for other teams to poach people?
The possibility is not great. McMillan's upper limit is here. If there is a fool who is willing to spend money, the Supersonics are also willing to fulfill McMillan.

Jeff Malone singled out McMillan with the ball. After failing to get a chance several times in a row, Jeff Malone was sweating more and more on his head.

He already felt that McMillan was no easier to deal with than Harper.

McMillan is like jelly candy, sticking to Jeff Malone all the time. When Jeff Malone's center of gravity is lowered, he backs up, and when Jeff Malone's center of gravity is raised, he sticks up.

Jeff Malone swallowed, and found that his teammates looked at him more and more wrongly, gritted his teeth, and shot directly from a long distance.

McMillan had been waiting for this moment for a long time. The moment Jeff Malone made a shot, McMillan jumped up and slapped the basketball hard with his fingers.

It wasn't a cap grab or a volleyball cap, but the basketball flew high into the sky because of McMillan's slap, and then fell straight down.

Jeff Malone was caught off guard by the cap. Before the Jazz could react, the position was already blocked by the Supersonics.

McKay blocked Karl Malone, grabbed the basketball, and handed it to Burrows.

Perhaps it was because McMillan had created the possession of the ball this time. After Barros took the ball, he handed the ball directly to McMillan, and then raised his head to signal McMillan to play himself.

McMillan: ...

Brother, are you serious?

Before Lu Feng came, McMillan was the Sonics' starting point guard, and before McMillan made the transition, Barros was his backup.

The supersonic management saw that Maggie was playing, so he wanted to try to see if the big point guard was really good.

As for the result... ahem, I won't say much here.

When Jeff Malone saw McMillan holding the ball, he also became nervous. He had already discovered that the Supersonics were simply Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons. You never knew who the next Supersonics could stand up to.

Before the start of the game, the Jazz's video conference was full of Lu Feng, but it turned out that Kemp played the Supersonics' first quarter.

The Jazz were stunned, they never expected that Kemp would be so strong.

Then, Lu Feng's substitute, Burrows, also beat Stockton to the ground. The Jazz chased the points for a long time, but was directly pushed back by the opponent.

Now there is another McMillan, who knows what this guy will do?
Three-pointers, breakthroughs, or all kinds of strange footsteps?
Little did they know that McMillan was even more nervous than Jeff Malone at this time.

breakthrough?This really won't work!

Then there is only shooting, but my own shooting...

Mike thought about it, anyway, he doesn't rely on scoring to make a living, if he just misses a shot, KC Jones won't have any objections.

Then, when Jeff Malone was unprepared, McMillan directly pulled out his hand, and he threw the ball directly like a hot hand.

Jeff Malone didn't expect that McMillan would play such a wave, without even adjusting.

The result of this ball is of course—swish!

Jeff Malone: ​​Shit, in?

McMillan: Damn it, get in!

Karl Malone watched the Sonics make another three-pointer, his eyes were straight.

Let alone McMillan, Jeff Malone was bought by the Jazz with a small maximum salary of 4 million in 950 years!

4 million in 950 years is still the price given by the Jazz because they have no salary space. I thought it was a profit.
When Karl Malone thought of the 9-year 3100 million contract he signed before, he felt that his life was gloomy. This is the first year of the new contract!

Let's not talk about how everyone in the Jazz feels. After seeing McMillan's goal, Jones clenched his fist hard.

With this goal scored, he is really confident to let the team's main players rest more.

Kill the Jazz first, then fight the Warriors, the upper half of the West is beckoning to him!

Jeff Malone is unreliable, and in the end the Jazz can rely on, of course, only Karl Malone.

With tears in his eyes, Ma Long once again supported the team, hitting the Supersonics' penalty area again and again.

I have to say that Malone during this period was indeed a bug, and he was also an unsolvable killer who averaged 30 points per game this season.

The booing and shouting at the scene became louder and louder, and the referee couldn't stand the pressure, and gave the Sonics several ambiguous fouls.

By the end of the second quarter, the Sonics still maintained a 4-point lead!

After halftime, the Sonics sent Lu Feng + Kemp as soon as they came. Lu Feng played at the second position, and the first position was the general Avery.

Karl Malone didn't start right away in the third quarter. Even a horse needs rest, let alone a human being!
It is impossible for the Jazz to catch Karl Malone alone!

In the third quarter, Lu Feng played against Bruce Edwards, who was transferred from the third position to the second position.

Speaking of it, the Jazz is also a wonderful team. They have the best inside rotation in the league, all of them are tall and big, and they have a strong ability to protect the basket.

But at the same time, their outside lines are all short. Ma Long, who is the fourth tallest in the team, is 208 cm, and then they are all short under 2 meters.

Bruce Edwards is only 193 cm tall, but he is the Jazz's starting small forward. Jeff Malone and Stockton are shorter than him.

The Jazz just bought a 198-cm Andy Turson from the minor leagues this year, and they want him to be the Jazz's starting three.

As a result, after playing for a month, the Jazz found that the opponent could only be a substitute at most. Although Andy Turson was all-powerful in the lower leagues, he couldn't do anything in the NBA.

When Lu Feng saw that the Jazz played a short and unfamiliar No. [-] position, he immediately decided to let Kemp continue to play!

As a result, in the first half of the third quarter, the two teams really fought hard.

After Kemp made 6 of 5 in the first quarter, he had a wave of 6 of 2 in the third quarter. Excluding dunks, he took a total of 10 shots and hit 5 of them.

Lu Feng: What's the matter, after using the swaying step, you also started to go halfway?
It's not that Kemp feels bad, it's just that he's just not used to it.

Facing Kemp's swaying step, Andy Turson has one way-to confront!

Andy Turson came from a low-level league. After playing in the NBA, he found that he was not good enough and wanted to stay. Naturally, there is only one thing he can do, and that is to show a crazier attitude than others!

Kemp is already skinny, and it's not easy to fight against him, but Andy Turson has a lot of fat on his body, and he can still carry it.

He could handle it, but Kemp couldn't. After all, Kemp was only a second-year rookie. Last year, he was even on the fringes of the team. This kind of mad dog defense was extremely effective for him.

After half a quarter of the game, as soon as Kemp sat on the bench, he blamed himself and said: "I'm sorry coach, I'm sorry Luck, I didn't hit those few shots well."

KC Jones has seen a lot of Kemp’s situation. Instead of blaming Kemp, he comforted him: “Son, I know that feeling is not good, but you have to know that since you want to be a star, That's part of what you have to face."

KC Jones patted Kemp on the shoulder and continued: "For you, this kind of defense will only increase, and you have to learn to deal with it."

Lu Feng nodded and said in the same way: "Sean, remember, you are already a small star, you have to be tough, face that kind of guy, just show your elbows and trash talk, don't be polite to him !"

Lu Feng was convinced too. Kemp had been harassed by the other party's tricks all the time, but Kemp didn't fight back even once.

Kemp's temper couldn't survive in the NBA in the 90s. Why are there so many people who hate Lu Feng, and he can still play brilliantly in the past two months?

Isn't the reason that Lu Feng must take revenge!

No matter who it is, as long as they dare to make small moves against Lu Feng, Lu Feng will definitely return it.

Jordan?Lu Feng also elbowed him!
big birdForget it, the main thing is that Lu Feng is afraid that something will happen and he won't be able to afford it.

Ewing?That idiot was a target, he missed Lu Feng's elbow, he was bullied by Lu Feng several times and he didn't even dare to speak!
Not to mention Barkley, he lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead after being beaten!

After playing against the 76ers, the league nervously checked Barkley and Jose Hawkins, and found that they were pretending to be dizzy, so they were speechless.

After this incident was exposed, Barkley and Hawkins died directly, and they have become a lot more low-key recently.

After listening to Lu Feng's words, Kemp also had some ideas, but...

Kemp scratched his head, and then said embarrassedly: "But... I don't know what to do?"

Crowd: ...

Lu Feng said directly: "If you don't know how to learn, the game is not finished yet. You must not be able to practice in our team training game. You can directly practice with your opponent now. Be bolder, don't be afraid!"

Kemp's eyes lit up and he nodded.

other people:……

With Lu Feng around, Supersonic won't become the Second Bad Boy Legion, right?
In the second half of the game, the Jazz replaced Malone and other starters, but still kept Andy Turson on the court.

There is no other reason, just to keep him on the court to limit Kemp.

As soon as the timeout came back, Jeff Malone stared at Lu Feng with a serious face. After Kemp was restricted, the Jazz thought that Lu Feng would increase his shots next.

After playing most of the game, Lu Feng only took 12 shots and scored 7 goals, only 17 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.

This kind of performance is not Lu Feng at all!
Jeff Malone was teased by McMillan and Harper one after another before, and he held back his anger in his heart, wanting to prove himself with the counterpoint Lu Feng.

Now not only his teammates, but even the coach began to doubt him. He didn't want to be kicked out by Washington just now, and then given up by the Jazz.

Jeff Malone knows that if he is given up by two teams in a row, it will be difficult for him to have a chance to become the main force again.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as Lu Feng came up, he passed the ball to Kemp.

Not only did he not expect it, even the rest of the Jazz did not expect it.

Does Lu Feng trust his teammates so much?

Kemp has played like that before, and he continues to pass the ball to him?

Could it be because of KC Jones' order?
It doesn't make sense, KC Jones is not a fool, it doesn't make sense to continue to let Kemp fight.

After Kemp received the ball, Andy Turson looked excited, because the previous defense against Kemp had an effect, and he also received encouragement from Jerry Sloan off the court. This is still two months since he came to the Jazz All for the first time.

At this time Andy Turson thought he had found the knack of surviving in the NBA, and his eyes became more and more excited.

"Come on little guy, let Uncle Andy teach you what is NBA!"

Although Andy Turson has just entered the NBA, he is actually 25 years old, a few years older than Kemp.

Kemp gave Andy Turson a disdainful look, and shot back: "Rookie, the NBA is not the place for you, you are not qualified to say such words!"

After finishing a sentence, before the other party responded, Kemp took out his invincible swinging step.

Since the effect was achieved, Kemp now likes the swaying step more and more. He feels that the swaying step is a technique tailored for him!
After a change of direction, Kemp swayed away from Andy Turson, and then directly broke through with the ball.

Andy Turson gritted his teeth, turned sideways and took half a step back, leaning his body against Kemp, then decisively stretched out his hand to support Kemp's waist, and pushed hard.

He used this method to defend Kemp a few times before, and he believed it would be the same this time.

But what he didn't expect was that the moment he stretched out his hand, Kemp directly joined the ball, turned around directly, hit Andy Turson's waist with an elbow, and then kicked his feet on the ground, jumping up and down. Stop and lean back.

Andy Turson staggered a few steps to the side in pain as Kemp elbowed his waist.

"I said, the NBA is not the place for you, rookie!"

After Kemp made the shot, he said something to Andy Turson with disdain.

The Jazz attacked, and Jeff Malone made a mid-range shot. After that, Lu Feng continued to hand the ball to Kemp, and he completed the finish.

This time, Kemp still did the same thing, but when he broke through, Andy Turson dodged for a while, and Kemp saw that the opponent didn't come up, so he stopped and threw the ball in one fell swoop.

Andy Turson saw the opportunity and jumped at Kemp like a mad dog, only to find that Kemp didn't jump at all this time!
Although Kemp doesn't use small moves, it doesn't mean he doesn't know these things. Kemp has never suffered a serious injury in his career, relying on his vigilance.

Seeing that Andy Turson raised his elbow, Kemp tilted his body, covered his face with his hands, leaned on the opponent, and then yelled and lay down on the ground, rolling back and forth repeatedly!

The referee blew the whistle in time and gave Andy Turson a flagrant first-degree foul without any explanation.

He could see clearly that Andy Turson raised his hand not towards the ball at all, but towards Kemp's face.

His behavior was too arrogant, throwing his elbow directly at Kemp's face, completely ignoring the referees and the league.

Although Ma Long has elbows, he still does some cover-ups, such as grabbing rebounds, trying to block shots and accidentally bumping into them.

Besides, Malone is a star after all, and the league has always turned a blind eye to his punishment.

Andy Turson is just a temporary worker, doing this is completely provoking the patience of the Referee Association and the Alliance!

Even though there were constant booing in the arena, the referee also insisted on his penalty. After the NBA introduced malicious foul rules this season, the requirements for referees have always been to catch one by one, and even stars have no privileges.

After being called a flagrant foul, Andy Turson was dumbfounded. The contract he signed with the Jazz was 2 for two years, and his salary for this season was only 30. This foul cost him at least one month's salary.

Hearing the referee called the foul, Kemp also stood up, and at the same time, he continued to cover his face.

Although he reacted and blocked it, he still had to put on a show, didn't he?

After Andy Turson went off, the Jazz had no choice but to replace Blue Edwards.

Facing the dwarf Bruce Edwards, Kemp has everything he wants and wants, and he can fight as he wants.

Bruce Edwards is an old fritter who takes money to do things, a data brush, and naturally he will not fight Kemp desperately.

Lu Feng found that Kemp's hand feeling is really good today, and he has been playing all the time.

At the same time, Kemp can pass the ball. When he finds that the Jazz is about to double-team, he can immediately find Lu Feng to hang the ball out.

The Supersonics relied on the cooperation of the two to slowly open the score again, and the Jazz could only become more helpless.

After the third quarter, the point difference returned to 8 points. The Salt Lake City fans were desperate, and there was no hope of winning at all.

Isn't our record better than the Sonics? Why is the game like this?

As for the players, Karl Malone also felt his own powerlessness.

After 3 quarters, he has already scored 30 points, and he has scored 12 free throws. The referee still takes care of him, and he will not say anything to the referee.

Ma Long knew that he could not continue to play like before in the last quarter, and his physical fitness was not as good as the media advertised.

Anyone who is familiar with Ma Long knows that his invisibility in the last section is almost inevitable.

His mid-range shots are not stable enough, and only the short-range shots are of a super giant level. In order to get close to the basket, Malone had to wrestle with his opponents again and again.

Any team that passes the technical and tactical level will arrange a meat shield to limit Malone outside the paint area and let him try to shoot from the middle distance.

But there are not many teams that can do this. Even if the Sonics have Sam Perkins, they can't prevent Malone from entering the paint.

But the Supersonics managed to hold on for three quarters, and after three quarters, it was Malone's weak period.

In the last quarter of the game, all Malone could do was defend and pick and roll. Most of his offense was useless due to lack of physical fitness.

Jeff Hornacek and Stockton were in charge of playing the last quarter of the Jazz team that won the Western Conference championship for two consecutive times.

But Jeff Hornacek hasn't come yet, and Stockton can't stand up either.

The problem caused by the decline in physical strength is not only as simple as offensive stealth, but also the quality of his pick-and-roll has also declined.

The impact of the decline in pick-and-roll quality is that Lu Feng can catch up with Stockton with small steps.

Perkins doesn't even need to switch defenses, he only needs to stand in the middle distance, leaving room for Lu Feng to turn around or take small steps around the pick-and-roll.

In order to prevent Lu Feng from going around the pick-and-roll, Ma Long did everything possible. He kept calling out all kinds of tricks, moving the pick-and-roll, pushing knees, dark elbows and so on.

But the effect of this is not great. Unless he directly reaches out to hug Lu Feng, he still can't stop the opponent. The difference in flexibility between the two is too great.

In addition, Lu Feng is not a vegetarian, he can also use the tricks that Ma Long used.

Stepping on feet, pushing knees, elbows and waists, Lu Feng can't know how to do these things!
Stockton was not fast, and when Lu Feng was chasing him, he could still devote his energy to Ma Long, so the secret confrontation between the two was basically won by Lu Feng!
Besides, Lu Feng doesn't necessarily want to catch up with Stockton. Moving the pick-and-roll is really disgusting, and Lu Feng can't bypass the pick-and-roll every time.

But don't forget, there are still two mopping monsters in the Supersonic's interior. Polynis guards the penalty area at the basket, and Kemp guards the mid-range. Even without Lu Feng, Stockton's efficiency is still not high.

The Jazz can't do anything about it, they can't replace Searle Bailey, can they?

If he is replaced, the Jazz's offense may be better, but the rebounds are completely resigned!

Stockton and Karl Malone stalled, and the Jazz can only trust Jeff Malone.

Not to mention the result, Jeff Malone felt really good in the last quarter. Facing Harper's defense, he made consecutive shots.

But it still doesn't work, Jeff Malone can score, and so can the Sonics.

Lu Feng and Kemp, these two are the mountains on the Jazz's head. Jeff Malone made a fairy ball, and the two immediately returned a mediocre response ball. The point difference was deadlocked at 8-10 points.

Lu Feng fumbled for a long time, and began to easily collect the data.

Stockton's physical fitness is weak, and Malone's pace is too slow. He brushed up the data easily and safely.

After half a quarter, the official suspension was imposed, and the Jazz was basically sentenced to death!
Lu Feng sat back on the bench, feeling that the game was not as difficult as he imagined.

Jones announced that the rotation will be replaced in the last half of the quarter, and Lu Feng is relieved. Fortunately, he has checked the data in advance, otherwise the data will be ugly again.

There was nothing wrong with Lu Feng in the next game, he just put on his training clothes and waited for the game to end.

There are indeed many suspensions in the NBA, official suspensions, official short suspensions, mandatory suspensions, advertising suspensions...

All kinds of timeouts blow the game into fragments, and it takes 2-3 hours for a game. Lu Feng is also very helpless about this, and can only accept it.

In the last half of the quarter, the Jazz persisted for a while. Dana Barros made a conversion three-pointer, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Jerry Sloan also removed the main force.

In the end, the MVP of the game was selected, and the person who was named the best player in the game was Kemp.

He felt explosive this time, 28 of 14 shots, 6 of 5 free throws, 33 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists. This is the first time Kemp was named the best player in the game, and his teammates gave him blessings.

Lu Feng spent most of the game playing fish, except for defending Stockton with some effort, he didn't play much.

这场比赛，路枫全场出手17次，17投9中，三分球2中1，罚球4中4，拿了23分4篮板7助攻。

Many of Kemp's goals were singles, and Lu Feng's assists were not very many. Only 7 of the 2 assists were given by Kemp.

Although the statistics are not good, Lu Feng is still very happy, not only because the team won the game, but also because Kemp has officially completed his evolution after playing a good game!
Don't expect him to be at today's level in the future, as long as he can stabilize at 2/3 of today's level, Lu Feng has the confidence to interrupt Danzi's three consecutive championships!
In the final interview, Kemp flattered Lu Feng unabashedly, saying that all his skills were taught by Lu Feng.

"Luck is my big brother. He helped me in my most difficult time and pointed out the direction of the future for me. I will follow him until I retire!"

The reporter who interviewed was sweating and asked: "Haven't you ever thought about being the boss of the team? You are only 21 years old now, and your career is still very long."

Kemp shook his head and said bluntly: "No, I'm not interested in being the boss, and I don't plan to change the boss... Well, if Lark leaves the Supersonics in the future, then I will leave with him as well!"

reporter:……

Watching the live broadcast of the team management, they all patted their thighs angrily!

Lu Feng didn't expect Kemp to say that directly. After the game, Falk was furious. He called directly and said that Kemp's words were not conducive to signing a big contract.

Even if he wanted to stay at the Supersonics in his heart, he shouldn't say it so bluntly.

Fortunately, after Barry Ackley knew about this, he threatened to give Kemp a salary worthy of him in the future.

Kemp's contract is a bit of a pitfall. His contract is only 6 million for 380 years. Now it is the second year of his rookie contract. The most important thing is that there is no player option in his contract!

This means that Kemp will continue to play for the Sonics with a child labor contract for 5 years, which is really miserable!
On the second day after playing the Jazz, the Sonics challenged the Golden State Warriors away.

The Warriors are the team that gave the Sonics their first defeat this season, and the Sonics have waited for this game for a long time.

The Warriors rank one place higher than the Sonics, and they are also a strong team.

In this game, the Sonics have a small lineup: Dana Barros, Lu Feng, McMillan, Harper, Kemp.

The reason for this is because the Warriors are also not tall, and they still play fast break.

The Sonics knew they couldn't play defense at the Warriors' home court, so of course they chose to play offense.

The process of this game was unexpected, for no other reason, it was too easy for the Sonics to win!

The reason for this is that Mitch Richmond is in a transfer fight.

This season, Richmond was transferred to the No. 3 position by the old Nelson. Coupled with the arrival of Chris Jackson, his possession of the ball has not increased compared to last season, on the contrary, it has decreased!
Richmond and his team have great opinions on this. He thought that Chris Jackson had a strange disease and could not support the team's No. [-] position.

But I didn't expect that the opponent not only persisted, but also played very well!
More importantly, after Mullin chose to give way to Tim Hardaway, Richmond changed from the team's second leader to the team's third leader in one fell swoop!

Originally, Richmond had been thinking about usurping the throne. In the first two seasons, it was just because he was still a rookie and it was not easy to show it.

He didn't expect that before he had time to usurp the throne, the status of the team would become lower and lower!
Of course he can't accept this kind of thing. Since December, he has been arguing with the team to change teams.

Another point is that he is changing teams now, and after finishing his rookie contract with the new team, Bird still has the right to renew his contract. Only in this way can he sign a big contract.

As the game was about to start, Richmond suddenly took a truce due to illness, and the Warriors were caught off guard.

After the game, Lu Feng made an appointment for a meal with Chris Jackson, Eldridge and Tim Hardaway.

"Mitch has always been my friend, I don't know if I should be against him or support him now, honestly, this sucks."

Tim Hardaway held his head in discomfort. When he first entered the league, Richmond was his big brother, taking care of him in various ways. Now that Richmond is leaving, Hardaway feels that the main reason lies with himself Be the boss.

Lu Feng shook his head and said, "It's not your responsibility, Tim. Of course, personally, I don't think Mickey is wrong."

Tim Hardaway looked up and looked at Lu Feng curiously.

Lu Feng continued to explain: "Have you ever thought that his departure is not only for himself, but also for you? Tim, you are too selfless, you will always pass the ball to your teammates, as long as the teammates can throw the ball in, You'll just keep doing it."

"Now you have Mickey, you have Chris...well, there are two Chriss, you have too many pitchers, he knows that you will definitely give up your shots to your teammates, so you can't get good data, even if you If you become the boss, you can't become a star."

"Of course, Mitch is the same. He also needs more shots. He also needs good statistics. After all, everyone in the league wants to be a star, right?"

Lu Feng thinks it's normal for Richmond to want to transfer. Now the Warriors' talent has overflowed, and the San Francisco ball market can't support four stars on the same team.

Chris Jackson played very hard after arriving in the Warriors, averaging 20+2+4 per game. Of course, this is all thanks to Tim Hardaway's willingness to pass the ball to him.

On the contrary, Tim Hardaway himself only averages 11+4+12 per game now. A big master has made himself the fourth master in the eyes of the fans. It's laughable!
After Lu Feng's explanation, Hardaway also found out that if Richmond leaves, it seems that he is also one of the beneficiaries.

"Damn, I haven't called him yet...Sorry, I'm leaving first, see you next time!"

The day after the game, the league announced that the Warriors and the Kings had completed a deal.

The Warriors traded Richmond to the Kings for Lionel Simmons and a '91 draft pick.

It is worth mentioning that the Kings' draft picks are not their own. God knows how many draft picks the Kings have hoarded over the years!

After the Sonics rested for two days, it was the last game in the first week of January.

This is destined to be a fierce battle, because the opponent of the Supersonics is the Portland Trail Blazers who are currently ranked first in the league!
　Fragmented time codewords, the efficiency is not bad, try to stick to ten thousand updates!
