I am super giant

Chapter 54 Zen Master's Helplessness (two more)

In the frontcourt, Payton's defense was tight, and Davis was also closely guarded by Kareem Rush. Ye Feng still chose to hand the ball to James, who had the greatest advantage.

James singled Devin George, turned his back and got rid of his defense and went inside, but under O'Neal's interference, he missed the shot.

O'Neal took the rebound and handed it to Payton.

Payton does not play fast breaks, but advances slowly, steadily and steadily, and decides the outcome with positional battles.

In the frontcourt, Payton stopped talking trash to Ye Feng, why waste words on meaningless things.

However, Payton showed a meaningful smile.

Immediately afterwards, he raised four fingers again, pick-and-roll tactics!

Malone mentioned the free throw line and blocked Ye Feng again, Payton broke through from the other side of Malone again, and Boozer was also one step slower in defense again.

All the plots are exactly the same as the previous rounds.

What needs to be seen now is Ye Feng, whether he stopped because of fear, or rushed forward foolishly again.

Ye Feng originally thought that this choice was very difficult, but when the matter came to an end, his body made the choice instead of his head, and he stepped forward.

Sure enough, even the ignorant body didn't want to admit defeat!

Lose, okay!

But admit defeat, absolutely not!
I would rather be beaten to the ground in the end than kneel down and admit defeat.

Kneeling may be half a body taller than lying down, but I'm sorry, Ye Feng can't bend down.

"Oh, how stupid!"

Boozer shook his head when he saw Ye Feng's actions.In his eyes, Ye Feng didn't listen to his advice, it was stupid.

Malone, on the other hand, laughed directly.

"Hahaha! Courage is commendable, but courage does not bring victory, rookie, you will soon understand this truth."

Once again, Ma Long stretched out his iron elbow, and pointed at Ye Feng viciously, with greater strength than last time.

Seeing that the iron elbow was about to fall on Ye Feng's chest, Boozer even couldn't bear to close his eyes.

But at this moment, countless voices of "Oh, wow!" came from Boozer's ears.

When he opened his eyes, Boozer saw a person standing on the ground clutching his stomach, but that person was not Ye Feng, but Ma Long.

"what happened?"

Boozer was dumbfounded.

Looking carefully, he found that Ye Feng had already bypassed Malone and blocked Payton, destroying the Lakers' pick-and-roll tactics.

Just three seconds ago, Ma Long's iron elbow was about to fall on Ye Feng.

Ye Feng turned back suddenly, deftly dodged Ma Long's iron elbow, and by the way pushed his elbow against Ma Long's abdomen.

The movement of turning around is dexterous and gorgeous, just like a dance, which also makes Ye Feng's small movements well hidden.

The referee knew it well, but since he didn't see it clearly, he chose not to blow it, which happened to make up for the Cavaliers.What's more, even the referee himself felt that Ye Feng's action was very beautiful, and he couldn't bear to whistle.

In fact, this is also an unspoken rule of the NBA. If Team A was whistled unfairly in the previous round, Team A will be looser in the next round, or Team B will be stricter.

In any case, Ye Feng's gorgeous turn around not only bypassed Malone's pick-and-roll, but also blocked Payton's breakthrough, killing two birds with one stone.

Ma Long, a large muscular man, is really powerful and tough enough to fight against blows. After being elbowed by Ye Feng, he returned to normal after taking a few breaths of cool air.

Staring fiercely at Ye Feng's back, Ma Long ran back to a low position.

It was Peyton who was suddenly intercepted by Ye Feng, and the rhythm of the attack was messed up.

But Payton is a veteran and a superstar after all. In this situation, he didn't make mistakes, lose the ball, or hit his head directly.

Instead, relying on skilled ball-handling skills, he calmly controlled the basketball, took a step back, and stabilized the rhythm.

There are still 16 seconds to attack, so there is no need to worry.

Looking at Ye Feng with interest, Peyton's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"This rookie is not interesting at all, but it makes Payton very interested."

Others may be more optimistic about Ye Feng's wonderful performance of scoring two three-pointers and scoring 2 points and 6 assists in less than 2 minutes.

But for a superstar like Payton, this is not worth mentioning at all. When he was young, he could do this easily.

What he is really optimistic about is Ye Feng's unyielding spirit and creativity in defense.

"Didn't you guys see how exciting it was just to turn around and forcibly fill in?"

Payton, who started out relying on defense, has always regarded defense as the most important thing.

But it's just that the position of point guard is the starting point of offense on the field 99% of the time, but it is not important in defense.

This is why there are so many best defensive players in NBA history, but Payton is the only point guard position.

Payton is very lonely, feeling that he has no successor, and his playing style will disappear as he gets old.

But today, Peyton's eyes lit up.

"Maybe, if I win the championship this year, I should consider retiring directly and go to Cleveland."

Peyton thought silently.

Ye Feng didn't know what Peyton was thinking, he just stood in front of Peyton, not giving Peyton an easy chance to attack.

Payton smiled, but still did not choose to single Ye Feng, but handed over the basketball to the Sharks inside.

Then, bang!

The Lakers scored, 22:17.

"Shark" O'Neal, scoring is so unreasonable.

This goal was scored, and it was time for the first rotation. The head coaches of both sides mobilized their troops and dispatched half of the substitute lineup to continue the fierce battle.

For the Lakers, Phil Jackson was a little worried.

Originally expecting to blow up the Cavaliers in the first quarter, it doesn't matter how the lineup is arranged.

But now, the Cavaliers are biting the score very tightly, and there is a possibility of catching up or even overtaking at any time.

Under such circumstances, Zen Master must leave at least one core to continue leading the team in order to ensure that the Cavaliers can continue to be suppressed.

Because the core of the Cavaliers is too young, they don't need to rest all off the court, but will continue to stay on the court to fight.

If the Lakers replace all the core at this time, they will definitely be blown up.

But which core should be left to continue leading the team?

Karl Malone in his late 40s?

The postman will also be tired, he can't escape the polishing of the years, and the Zen master doesn't want to tire Malone out of injuries in the preseason.

O'Neal?He is only 32 years old, the youngest of the three cores.

But O'Neal is a big center after all, 216 centimeters, 147 kilograms of terrifying weight, coupled with O'Neal's lazy attitude, this determines that O'Neal's physical strength is limited.

Looking at it this way, only Payton is left.

But Payton is also 36 years old. At this age, many stars have begun to retire.

If it weren't for his obsession with the championship ring, Payton would probably have retired a long time ago.

"Oh, it would be great if Kobe was here!"

Zen Master missed Kobe for the second time tonight.

Kobe is only 26 years old this year and has plenty of physical strength. Moreover, Kobe is famous in the league for not being able to run to death. He can play 48 minutes without any problem.

With him here, there is no need to worry about who leads the team during the rotation stage.

In desperation, Phil Jackson could only choose Payton, which is already the best choice.
