I am super giant

Chapter 48

February 10, 16pm.

The game between the Cavaliers and the Lakers has officially begun.

Ye Feng and Darius sat on the bench in suits, acting as spectators.

Paul sent a regular five starters: Ilgauskas, Boozer, James, Davis, McGinnis.

In order to make up for Kobe's absence, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson sent a starting lineup with two point guards.

O'Neal, Malone, Devin George, Payton and Fisher.

The characteristics of both sides are very obvious, the rookie versus the veteran.

骑士五人的年龄分别是18、24、25、28、31，平均年龄刚过25岁。

湖人则是：27、30、32、36、39，平均年龄接近33岁。

The average age difference between the starters of the two teams is as high as 8 years.

"This is a battle between the impact of newcomers and the experience of veterans!"

Before the game, the on-site commentator made an accurate judgment.

But judging from the game, experience trumped impact, and it was an overwhelming victory.

The old Payton is 193 cm tall, with a strong body and a kaleidoscope of scoring methods. It is not a big problem to temporarily serve as a shooting guard.

As for defense, the best defensive point guard in NBA history is not blown out.

Although Ricky Davis has the advantage of being young and has an 8cm advantage in height, he can run and jump, but the whole game is severely restricted and he can't play his own rhythm.

Throughout the game, Davis seemed to be frozen, 15 of 3 shots, 20% shooting, and as many as 5 turnovers.

McGinnis and Fisher are in the same situation, as the team's point guard, but their task is only to dribble half court, and then start to act as spot-up shooters.

Relying on the height advantage, McGinnis performed slightly better than Fisher, scoring 15 points and Fisher 11 points.

At the small forward position, James beat George completely, and George couldn't guard James.

But the Lakers with O'Neal and Malone can't allow James to come in and out at will. Although he can easily enter the Lakers' paint area, James' scoring efficiency is not high.

全场13投5中，罚球6中4，詹姆斯拿下14分4篮板5助攻，是季前赛开始以来数据最差的一场。

At the center position, Ilgauskas was directly blown by O'Neal.

The Sharks are a slacker, often absent from training sessions, and don't pay much attention to preseason games.But as long as he was serious for a while, Big Z was blown away. With a weight gap of 60 catties, Big Z's defense was like a piece of paper.

Paul had no choice but to replace it with a larger meme, but he still had nothing to do with O'Neill.

The most interesting is the power forward duel.

Malone is the black demon of the old Utah Shuangsha. If Boozer's life trajectory does not change, he will become a member of the new Utah Shuangsha next year and inherit Malone's position.

In Ye Feng's view, this is a bit like a duel of fate.

Two strong power forwards engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat.In the end, Malone's toughness (and dirtiness) won him the day.

You must know that the name "Iron Elbow" Malone is much better than "Postman" Malone. In his 19-year career, he does not know how many opponents he has beaten.

In the first quarter, the Lakers led by 27 points 16:11.

At halftime, the gap between the two sides was 20 points.

Paul kept dispatching troops and arranging troops, but he still couldn't stop the defeat.

In contrast, Phil Jackson sat on the side, arms folded, as steady as Mount Tai, and the wind was calm, and he didn't even call a timeout throughout the game (except for the official timeout).

Comparing the two, everyone will naturally feel that the realm of the Zen master is not comparable to Paul.

Ye Feng suddenly had a thought, no wonder so many people in the previous life called Zen master to force the king, this is really a pretender who was delayed by basketball!
Phil Jackson is such a style, he will not call a timeout when the team is superior, and will not call a timeout when the team is at a disadvantage, which makes everyone confused.

But if you think about it from the perspective of pretentiousness, dominance is not called a timeout, which is a matter of course.Not calling a timeout when I fall behind shows that I am calm, trust the players on the field, and arrange well before the game, and there is no need to make arrangements during the game.

But Zen master does have this qualification, three dynasties, nine championships, who dares to say that he is not?
In any case, when the three main players of the Lakers did not play more than 20 minutes, the Lakers won a big victory and ravaged the Cavaliers.

The Cleveland fans couldn't even boo at the end of the game. They really couldn't see any hope of winning the game. The gap was too big.

At the end of the game, the arena was already half empty, and many fans left early.

骑士这边，伊尔戈斯卡斯9分4板，几乎是隐身状态。戴维斯7分4板3助攻，数据如同角色球员。詹姆斯14分4板5助攻，布泽尔15分11板2助攻，这两个人的表现还算中规中矩。麦金尼斯15分1板4助攻，居然是全队最高分。

湖人方面，奥尼尔、马龙、佩顿的出场时间都不到20分钟，分别砍下19分8板3盖帽，12分6板，16分4板6助攻。再加上费舍尔的11分4助攻，德文·乔治的10分6板。首发五人全部得分上双。

The Lakers beat the Cavaliers 101:80.

After the game, the two teams held a press conference.

Given the rare opportunity, Zhang Weiping also sent two assistants to the press conference to interview "Zen Master" Phil Jackson.

Fortunately, Yu really got the chance to be questioned.

(Perhaps in the past two years, the NBA has become more and more aware of the potential of the Chinese market, so it often takes special care of Chinese people.

Of course, with good care, there will naturally be bad care. )
"Mr. Jackson, what do you think of Ye Feng, and what kind of achievements do you think he will have?"

Yu asked respectfully, after all Zen Master is also a meritorious teacher.

"Ye... points?"

Phil Jackson recited silently, thought for three seconds, and then answered.

"I'm sorry, my Chinese friend, I don't know the person you mentioned. Is he a Hollywood actor or a singer?"

Phil Jackson hadn't finished speaking, and malicious laughter was already ringing around.

This laughter is naturally not for the Zen master, but for the lesser.

No matter why Zen Master didn't know about Ye Feng, these reporters all knew about Ye Feng!
A few days ago, this Chinese player had a "shocking battle" at the Quicken Loans Arena, and almost "famous" the entire North America.

"So you Huaxia reporters think Zen master will know Ye Feng?"

"Thinking too much, who is the Zen master, the NBA's meritorious coach, how could it be possible to get to know an unknown person?"

"I don't know what to say. You dare to ask a press conference about a loss in the draft. Let's leave quickly and don't waste other people's time."

Yu Yu suddenly blushed, and Xiao Yang felt ashamed.

How clever the Zen master is, he can understand what happened when he listens to other people's whispers.

He is wronged!
Zen master really didn't know who Ye Feng was, let alone the undrafted pick he had seen in the draft.

He has been devastated by Kobe's affairs recently, and the son and daughter of the Lakers owner Bass's family are also in conflict. Zen master is deeply involved, and he has no time to care too much.

He handed over the team's tactical lessons to a few assistant coaches, and he didn't have time to do it himself.

Facing the weak team of the Cavaliers, several assistant coaches didn't take it seriously, let alone one undrafted pick. They didn't even prepare Ye Feng's information.

"Well, what... next question!"

The Zen master was suffering and couldn't tell, so he couldn't explain it on this occasion, and he could only swallow the matter to his stomach.

********
After the press conference was over, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yang went back, met Zhang Weiping and Ye Feng, and told the whole story.

Director Zhang was silent for a long time, and complex expressions appeared on his face, including anger, helplessness, dissatisfaction, and shame.
"Hey, no wonder others, who made our Huaxia basketball team too weak! It's only natural for others to look down on us. Without decades and generations of hard work, this situation will be difficult to change!"

Instructor Zhang lost his spirits, lowered his head and sighed, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden, with more and more gray hair on his temples.

Ye Feng clenched his fists and said suddenly: "Director Zhang, we have an away game with the Lakers tomorrow!"
