NBA: My cousin wears a watch, I wear a mid-range jumper

"Huh?!"

Lin Feng almost thought he had misheard what the head coach Stotts said!

Damn!

Is such a difficult task handed over to me?

Hayward has grown up in the Jazz for 5 seasons and has become an All-Star player!

Although his scoring crit rate is a bit insufficient, he can already be called an [all-around striker]!

Letting a guard defend the striker, this makes Lin Feng think Stotts is [joking]!

Could it be that the coach also found that his [outside defense] ability has greatly increased?

This is the only explanation!

"coach!"

"I don't think this is right!"

Lillard heard Stotts' voice and came over to speak for Lin Feng.

It's not that he was speaking for Lin Feng, but Lillard really felt that it was wrong!

Lin Feng is only 1.91 meters tall and weighs only 82 kilograms!

This is lighter than Lillard!

In fact, the ability to confront and strength have always been Lin Feng's weaknesses!

It's just that Lin Feng usually plays hard enough and is not afraid of getting injured!

This makes up for the lack of confrontation and strength to a certain extent!

From the audience's perspective, Lin Feng's disadvantages in these aspects can't really be seen!

However, facing Hayward, who is 2.02 meters tall and weighs 102 kilograms, Lillard really can't think of how Lin Feng can defend!

After all, Lin Feng currently gives people a very intuitive impression of his coquettish ball control and extremely accurate mid-range shots!

As for other aspects, it really seems a bit average!

"I believe Lin can accomplish such a task!"

"Lin! What do you think?"

Stotts smiled and waved at Lillard, then looked at Lin Feng again!

At this time, Stotts' eyes were filled with expectations!

Not only did he expect Lin Feng to be able to defend Hayward, but he also expected Lin Feng to dare to take on such a responsibility!

As long as Lin Feng agreed at this time, even if Lin Feng was beaten by Hayward after the game started, his weight in Stotts' heart would still increase a lot!

"I think……"

"Coach, you have made the best decision in your coaching career!"

"I am the team's perimeter defender!"

Lin Feng said with a faint smile!

"Ha ha!"

""Good!"

Stotts nodded with satisfaction and said nothing more.

From this moment on, Lin Feng has truly become one of the core players of the team in Stotts' heart!

McCollum's eyes dimmed!

When he heard Stotts' words just now, he had a feeling of gloating!

Because Lin Feng will definitely be beaten by Hayward in the next game!

Maybe it will be McCollum's chance then?

However, when he saw the coach's satisfied look at Lin Feng, McCollum knew that it was almost impossible for him to get a starting position this season!

"Eh——！"

McCollum sighed!

It's better to adjust your mentality!

Don't have any more illusions!

Just because Lin Feng took over the defensive task without hesitation, McCollum thought he couldn't do it!

It's not bad to compete for the [Best Sixth Man] award this season!

This is not the first time McCollum has comforted himself like this. This time, he has completely given up on the starting position!

The game is about to start!

The atmosphere in the Moda Center is also becoming more and more lively!

The two consecutive wins at the beginning attracted more home fans to watch the game!

The attendance rate of the Moda Center tonight looks good!

The Jazz starters, Gobert, Favors, Hayward, Hood and Raul Neto!

The Jazz's starting lineup has very good forward and inside strength, but the hard strength of the back line is much lacking!

This is exactly the opposite of the Trail Blazers!

The Trail Blazers' obvious strength is the backcourt double guns composed of Lillard and Lin Feng!

Jazz's center Gobert will monopolize DPOY in a few seasons!

He is a veritable inside defensive gate!

However, this season, Gobert is still in the rookie contract period and has not been noticed by too many people yet!

His scoring ability is poor, comparable to Ben!

But on the defensive end, he has not yet shown the potential of DPOY!

Lin Feng looked at Gobert and had some ideas in his mind!

If he could take advantage of Gobert's not-yet-famous status and bring him over, the Trail Blazers' defensive system could be completely established!

Gobert protects the frame and assists in defense inside, and Lin Feng locks the opponent's outside offensive core outside!

Coupled with the little prince Aminu's defense to Lillard, Lin Feng feels that the Trail Blazers will instantly become a truly balanced offensive and defensive team!

Once this idea came up, it was a bit unbearable!

Lin Feng wanted to tell the Trail Blazers management immediately and let them trade Gobert over!

However, this can only be thought about!

Because Lin Feng's identity at this time is a rookie, naturally he has no weight in front of the management!

You can consider fooling Lillard!

But the premise of all this is that the team's performance can make the management change the season goal!

Otherwise, if the team is in a bad state, there is naturally no need for a defensive system!

On the contrary, the worse the defense, the better!

"call——！"

Lin Feng stopped thinking and collected his thoughts!

Playing the game well is the most important thing!

The Trail Blazers starters: Meyers Leonard, Plumlee, Aminu, Lin Feng and Lillard!

Meyers Leonard and Gobert came to the center circle and prepared for the jump ball!

As the referee threw the ball into the air, the game officially began!

Christine in the front row of the audience also sat up straight!

She is still very interested in basketball!

Gobert's jumping ability obviously crushed Meyers Leonard and easily won the jump ball!

Raul Neto received the ball from Gobert and controlled the ball across half court.

Hayward came out to receive the ball.

This season, Hayward has become the real core of the Jazz!

Not only does he need to help the team score, but he also needs to contribute more to the organization and support!

At this time, Hayward can be regarded as a weakened version of James!

At least the tactical role is somewhat similar!

However, in terms of scoring methods, Hayward still mainly relies on mid-range and long-range shots!

Unlike James, he does not frequently attack the basket!

After Hayward received the ball, Lin Feng had already quickly arrived in front of him.

This surprised Hayward!

Did the Trail Blazers feel dizzy at the start of the game!

Why would they let a guard defend themselves when they have a striker like Aminu who can match them in height and weight?

Hayward was a little confused!

Looking down at Lin Feng, Hayward somewhat despised him! He was 10 centimeters shorter than himself, and he didn't look strong enough, and even a little thin!

"Don't blame me for bullying you!"

Hayward smiled slightly. He was originally preparing to pass the ball, but he decided to attack Lin Feng first!

With a step of his right foot, Hayward was ready to make a simple and rough breakthrough!
