I am super giant

Chapter 35 Appearance, ultra-long three-pointer

Ye Feng watched many NBA games in front of the TV in his previous life.

But he has never felt as deeply involved as at this moment. Just one preseason game gave Ye Feng a completely different feeling from the summer league.

The passionate appearance ceremony, the ever-changing situation on the court, the intrigue between the two head coaches, the wits and courage of the players on the court...

Obviously, the Cavaliers are at a disadvantage at the moment, and Paul lost to Larry Brown in a fight.

"Shoot three-pointers, shoot three-pointers resolutely!"

Paul shouted anxiously to the five Cavaliers starters.

At this moment, the Pistons have defended the basket like an iron barrel. No matter how strong James and Davis' breakthrough ability is, they will be strangled by the Pistons' defensive system.

The only way is a three-pointer. Only by shooting a three-pointer can the Pistons' defense be opened up, giving James and Davis the space to hit the basket.

However, the more I think about something, the less it will come.

Neither James nor Davis is a stable shooter, and McGinnis also felt very poor today. In the next 3 minutes, they made 5 of 0 three-pointers.

On the contrary, Hamilton of the Pistons felt hot, hitting every shot and scoring 8 points in a row.

At 9 minutes into the first quarter, when the official paused, the score became 22:8, and it was a waste of time.

The fans in the Motor City were so excited that they all stood up and cheered for the home team.

Some fans clamored for the Cavaliers to stay in odd numbers in the first quarter and not in double figures.

It's a shame not to score in double figures in a single quarter, and everyone in the Cavaliers will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

The two commentators Barkley and Smith did not expect the game to be played like this in the first quarter, so what is the commentary?Hurry up and make suggestions for the Cavaliers.

Barkley suggested that the Cavaliers also put on a pure defensive lineup and compete with the Pistons on defense.

Smith's proposal is more rational. At this time, someone who can shoot must be replaced. A few people on the court feel bad, so they should be replaced!
The Pistons only took advantage after replacing Okur. Larry Brown's substitution was very successful. Why can't Paul try?

However, Paul is still hesitating, because he is not a decisive person.

He hesitated when James and Davis had conflicts, and he hesitated when the team had defensive problems. Now that he needs to make a decision, he still hesitates.

Before you know it, the pause time has passed.

When the referee came to ask to play, Paul hadn't made a decision, but this time can't be delayed.

In desperation, Paul blindly ordered a few people.

Center: Chris Mihm.

Power Forward: Boozer.

Small Forward: Darius.

Shooting guard: James.

Point guard: Ye Feng.

After ordering, Paul regretted it. The lineup was arranged in a mess.First of all, not to mention the problem of configuration, age alone makes people feel unconfident.

Two fourth graders, one second grader, two rookies, so young!
But it was too late to think about a replacement.

Larry Brown couldn't help laughing when he saw this lineup.

He knows Paul very well. Paul is quite sensible when the wind is downwind, but he will be at a loss when the wind is headwind.Now facing the situation of being suppressed to single-digit scores in a single quarter, Paul's brain is really confused.

Are you going to give up on this young lineup?Look at the Pistons lineup.

Center: Okur.

Power Forward: Ben Wallace.

Small Forward: Chris Williams (31).

Shooting guard: Chucky Atkins (30).

Point guard: Billups.

Also with 2 starters and 3 substitutes, the Pistons' lineup looks completely different.

Billups controls the offensive rhythm, Da Ben is the core of the defense, and everyone else is an experienced old player.

Just looking at the lineup, everyone felt that this game was destined to enter garbage time in two quarters, and it was time to clock out.

beep~
At the start of the game, Ye Feng served from the baseline.

As soon as he got the ball, he heard countless discussions.

"Hey, a yellow-skinned Asian defender is really rare. Who is this guy, I haven't seen it before."

"Last year, there was a No. [-] pick, Yao Ming, and this year, there is another defender. But don't Asians only produce big ones, and the small ones are in a mess?"

"I'm not interested in who he is at all. I'm thinking about how many points this guy can score in his first game. You know, Yao Ming didn't score a point in the first regular season game. Will this guy continue? What about Asian traditions? Hahaha!"

There were bursts of malicious speculation and light laughter in the stands, and all kinds of eyes looking at Ye Feng were like looking at rare animals in a zoo, making people very uncomfortable.

Barkley and Smith in the commentary room were not so surprised, after all, they had already commented on Ye Feng's game once in the summer league.

In that game, Barkley owed Smith a month's food for betting against Ye Feng.

"Arranging Ye to play is still very necessary. Ye's three-point ability is very strong, and maybe he can open up the situation for the Cavaliers."

Smith said.

"Kenny, do you expect too much from Ye. I know Ye played well in the summer league, but you know that the summer league and the preseason are completely two levels of competition. The first thing Ye will face may be It's not a scoring problem, it's a mentality problem. You have to know that Yao missed his only shot in Game [-] because he was too nervous."

"What's more, Yao is the No. [-] pick, and Ye is just undrafted. If it weren't for the fact that the Cavaliers' backup point guard was admitted to the hospital and the team was empty, Ye might not even get a chance to play."

Barkley is also telling the truth.

If it wasn't for Dajuan Wagner's injury, Ye Feng really wouldn't have had the chance to play so early.

"However, the mentality problem, I don't know what that is."

Ye Feng raised his head and glanced at the commentary room above, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.I have experienced life and death countless times, how could I be nervous in such a scene?
Ye Feng twisted his neck, and began to dribble the ball in a calm manner.

Just after halftime, James suddenly leaned over and said in a low voice: "Ye, don't be nervous, I have everything!"

"Does everyone think I'm nervous?"

Ye Feng smiled wryly, and asked the 18-year-old James to comfort his 20-year-old self. This is not something to be happy about.

Even if he is the No.1 in the future alliance, Ye Feng still has a feeling of being underestimated and feels very uncomfortable.

"Then I'll disappoint you all!"

Silently, Ye Feng made a decision in his heart.

In an instant, Ye Feng became more serious than ever before, with no expression on his face, his eyes scanned half the field, observing every detail on the field.

The Pistons continued the previous tactics, with the five shrinking to the basket and not giving James a chance to break through.

Billups was at the top of the three-point arc, Williams and Atkins were on the wings, Okur and Ben occupied the low post, and surrounded the basket.

For the Cavaliers, Mihm and Boozer fought for a favorable position inside, Darius swam inside the three-point line looking for opportunities, and James stood outside the three-point line to meet Ye Feng.

After gaining an understanding of the situation on the court, Ye Feng continued to advance until one meter beyond the three-point line.

Billups looked at Ye Feng, but he didn't push forward. It seemed that the Pistons were determined to stick to the inside line.

That being the case, Ye Feng raised the basketball and made a shooting posture.

"My God, what is this guy going to do? Go straight for a three-pointer. Is he crazy?"

"Is this guy really a basketball player? The closer he is to the basket, the higher his shooting percentage. Doesn't he know this saying?"

"Paul replaced McGinnis, who was doing nothing, and replaced him with a more stupid Asian guard. The Cavaliers have already lost!"

"Give the ball to James and get off the court, yellow monkey!"

Fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills burst into laughter, and the coaching staff of the Cavaliers looked so ugly that Paul even wanted to cover his eyes so as not to look.

The Cavaliers on the field were also stupefied. It was only 7 seconds into the game. How dare this new guard shoot like this?How bold!
Boozer was stunned. He didn't have such guts in his rookie season.

Mihm stepped up his hand-to-hand combat, ready to grab the rebound.

Big Ben and Okur also desperately stuck in position to accept the backcourt rebound.

Only Billups and James, these two people have been staring at the ball in Ye Feng's hands.The two of them did not directly deny Ye Feng's shooting behavior, because they saw Ye Feng's eyes were so calm and calm.

Rather than the madness of wave throwing, or the nervousness of being at a loss.

"Is this guy really so sure?"

Billups couldn't help thinking about it, but quickly dismissed it.

In this day and age, the three-pointer is not a routine way of scoring.Most coaches don't like players shooting threes, and players don't like practicing threes.

Therefore, the overall three-point shooting rate of the entire league is not high, let alone this kind of ultra-long three-pointer.

"This goal will never be scored!"

Billups makes a judgment call.

Ye Feng didn't know what Billups was thinking, he just shook his wrist lightly and sent the basketball out.

A beautiful arc shot steadily to the basket.

Swish!
A wave of white net.

The entire Palace of Auburn Hills was silent, and everyone opened their mouths.
