Chapter 1232 Success in Singles Against the Big Center!
Chapter 1236: Success in singles against big center!
In the long history of the Lakers, there is one game that has always been talked about. It was both the magician’s battle to become a god and the pinnacle battle. Although it has been 29 years ago, it is still talked about by old fans. With relish. .
Magic Johnson's incredible performance in Game 6 of the 1980 Finals between the Lakers and the 76ers was ranked first among the classic moments in playoff history. Because Magic, who was a point guard, came on as a center in that decisive game and performed the most terrifying all-around performance in NBA history.
In the finals that year, the Lakers first took a 3-2 lead against the Philadelphia 76ers and were about to win the championship. However, Lakers center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar happened to be unable to play anymore due to an ankle injury at this time. Prepare for the tie-break between the two teams today. Although Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's foot injury is not optimistic, at this moment he can only continue to fight, so he can recover for a few days.
History is like this. When you give up, it always gives you surprises. In the sixth game, the Lakers chose to let the 206-centimeter-tall Magic Johnson serve as a guest center. This was considered by many at the time to be a dead horse being treated as a living horse doctor. Even the commentators at the time bluntly stated that this might be the most entertaining game in the history of the NBA Finals. Even most Lakers fans were ready to watch an entertaining game.
However, everyone knows the story behind it. Johnson, who played as a temporary center, miraculously scored 42 points and 15 rebounds, beating the 76ers in the paint. His mother didn't even recognize him. In addition to scoring and rebounding, his personal duties He did not miss any work either. He sent out 7 assists and as many as 3 steals, successfully helped the Lakers defeat the 76ers, and was undisputedly elected as the Finals MVP. This is also the first player to win the Finals MVP in his rookie season.
That game is a well-deserved classic in NBA history. Some people joked that Johnson was the first organizational center in history.
And 29 years later, although this was only a regular season game, the importance of a 26-point reversal and whether the Lakers could break the team's record of 70 wins is naturally self-evident, and the Lakers also encountered a similar situation to that time. The problem is, the main center temporarily stretched his hips, and the one who came up turned out to be another outside line.
Oh, Ji Feng is also called Asia’s New Magician. Is this some kind of divine will? !
Of course, it is still unknown whether Ji Feng can play inside. At least now they think that Ji Feng will play inside as well as outside. Maybe Zen Master also arranged it this way.
But Ji Feng obviously wanted to give everyone a surprise.
The first attack was quite satisfactory. The Lakers picked and rolled from the outside. Ariza cleared the ball. Kobe cut inside. Ji Feng made a pass. Kobe made a reverse layup. The point difference returned to 10 points. The four small lineups were still very good on the offensive end. Everyone pulls them apart to make the space larger.
On the defensive end, the Kings obviously wanted to target Ji Feng. Hawes turned his back and asked for the ball. His big butt resisted Ji Feng. Martin hoisted the ball in and then pulled away. This is the most common way for many big men to beat small men. Way.
As the No. 10 pick of the 2007 class, Hawes is a big white man, with a height of 216cm and a weight of 102kg. Everyone knows this data. He is a person who lacks the ability to fight inside.
Hawes is a good example of what it means to "take a step back and the world will be brighter". He may be one of the centers in the NBA that dislikes physical confrontation the most. His free throw ratio ranks fifth in the league at the same position. Although he is 6 feet 11 inches tall, But like many white centers, he likes to shoot outside and is not good at back-up inside play. This is where he needs to improve. In addition, his movement and defensive abilities on the field also need to be improved.
However, this was when he was playing other inside positions. He was still confident against Ji Feng. Although he also knew that Ji Feng was a super giant, super giants also have different positions, so he decisively asked for the ball with his back and wanted to bully him. Ji Feng.
Judging from the height comparison, Ji Feng has grown 2 centimeters again this year, and his height has reached about 205 centimeters, which is almost the same as James. Moreover, Ji Feng weighs a full 100 kilograms. You will understand this if you look at Ji Feng's muscle lines. 100 kilograms is definitely real muscle, all due to the strengthening brought by the Son of God.
And Ji Feng's confrontation ability is even stronger than what you see, at least no worse than James who weighs 113 kilograms. He is definitely second to none in the third position.
Of course, Ji Feng's height and weight are not enough to be considered in the post, but there are also people. Like Hawes, a bamboo pole insider who is 216cm tall but only 10 pounds heavier than Ji Feng and has no back-up skills. Ji Feng Absolutely true!
"I'm not impressed!" Yu Jia said excitedly, looking at Ji Feng who was barely moving while carrying Hawes.
Hawes' awkward back-up on the field couldn't push Ji Feng at all. Instead, he was constantly harassed by Ji Feng, and then the ball was lost...
Steal!
Ji Feng slapped the ball away from Hawes, who was about to forcefully turn around, and then directly grasped the basketball in two steps and launched a fast break!
When he came to the frontcourt, he turned around to protect the ball and scored an inside layup!
The score difference was narrowed to single digits for the first time!
"Ji Feng's confrontation ability is good." Coach Zhang said in surprise. He actually managed to complete the steal despite carrying a 216cm inside line. This confrontation is too strong.
It wasn't over yet. Hawes became angry and wanted to return a shot, but was interfered by Ji Feng's super high bounce. When it came to the offensive end, Hawes was even more furious. Ji Feng actually wanted to hit him from behind!
Ji Feng directly turned his back and pushed the big man Hawes behind him, and Farmar really passed the ball.
"Let me go, what is Ji Feng doing? Singles inside, this is not how these 1 big and 4 small kids play." Assistant coach Harper stood up from the bench with a wry smile on his face. Is Ji Feng serious? Even if he can Even if he is guarded, he may not be able to play alone. After all, the difference in height and wingspan is there.
Ji Feng turned sideways to hold on, using his calf strength to hold the ball firmly with one hand. To be honest, he was very pretentious.
Behind him, Hawes kept pressing forward, sneering in his heart, as if he saw himself covering the ball with a slap.
Ji Feng originally thought of just jumping back, but now it seems that when he jumps up, he will definitely be pushed out and blocked, so Ji Feng simply uses his strength and hits Hawes.
Hawes didn't notice that he was knocked out of the way by Ji Feng. Ji Feng turned around with his right hand and prepared to throw, attracting the defense and then pulled back to the left.
Dream steps!
Hawes was shaken away, and the ball was scored with a small throw at the peak of the season!
Isolated center success!
The point difference is only 6 points!
“Wow, that’s awesome!!!”
"Why am I kneeling to watch the game!"
"really!"
"The center was knocked away by an outside player who was more than ten centimeters shorter than him, awesome!"
The fans and players are going crazy!
