Chapter 1575 MVP’s Leadership Moment

At 7 pm on May 5th, the entire Staples was bustling with excitement. This was not only because the second game of the Western Conference semifinals was going to be played tonight, but also because 5 minutes ago, Ji Feng showed off in front of all the fans. Received this season's regular season MVP trophy and the best defensive player trophy.

Just as the game was about to begin, the two trophies were placed on a special podium not far from the sidelines for fans to take photos.

"This is the second consecutive season that the best defensive player and regular season MVP have appeared here at the same time. This is a glorious moment for the Lakers and Ji Feng, and it is also a glorious moment for us. With honor, let us continue to move forward!"

With Hearn's motivating declaration and the cheers of more than 20,000 spectators in the audience, the two sides officially debuted.

Tonight's starting lineup is exactly the same as the first game. Neither side has made any adjustments to the lineup. This is understandable. After all, this lineup is already very familiar. Although blind changes may have a miraculous effect, there is a high probability that it will be necessary. Like a dog leader, the coach will become more conservative as the playoffs progress. Unless forced to do so, no one will make major changes to the lineup.

This is only the second game, far from the critical moment. The Jazz also hope that their lineup can sweep away the decline of the first game and play the rhythm they want.

The game officially begins!

"Dear viewers, dear viewers, what you are watching now is the sixth game of the Western Conference semifinals Lakers VS Jazz brought to you by CCTV5. The previous big score was that the Lakers were leading by one game 1-0."

"Yes, this is the second game of the series. It is basically a matchup that determines the tone of the entire series. If the Jazz can win, they will have the home court advantage and will take the initiative when they return to their home court. Otherwise, the Lakers will have the advantage. With a big 2-0 lead, the promotion situation will be clearer, so this is a matchup that no one wants to let go, and no one can let it go," Yang Yi said with a smile. He just wrote an article yesterday about the series. Regarding the importance of the second game of the game, many fans think that the second game is not important, but he believes that the second game is the most important rhythm game, and there is a big difference between losing and winning.

While they were explaining, the two teams' offense was not going well in the first two minutes. Each team only scored 1 goal. Staples' basket rejected 4 consecutive attacks from both teams.

However, the two experienced teams immediately made effective adjustments. The Lakers played inside, Bynum and Gasol scored successively, while the Jazz turned to the inside to Boozer, who felt cold after changing from the previous game. All 2 shots hit.

6-6.

"Ji Feng didn't feel good tonight!" Yang Yi said at this time. Ji Feng took two shots at the beginning but didn't hit any of them. This was rare in the past. There might only be a few games in a season. Could it be that Ji Feng suffered what happened tonight? Curse of MVP?

No way, Ji Feng was full of energy when he won awards in the past!

Sloan was also keenly aware of this, so he decisively removed Korver and let Kirilenko come on. At the same time, he whispered to everyone to pay attention to the double-teaming of Ji Feng!

God-given opportunity!

This is Sloan's only feeling now. Completely suppressing Ji Feng before his touch comes. This may be the way for the Jazz to win.

As a result, the atmosphere on the court changed directly. His choice was to let the players use their physical strength to follow him and switch defenses unconditionally. He could not let Ji Feng, who was running without the ball, have a chance to easily catch the ball. At the same time, even if Ji Feng caught it, he would Giving a lot of body contact prevents Ji Feng from dribbling comfortably, forcing Ji Feng to play the ball as quickly as possible!

In the next round, Ji Feng chose to pick and roll to force the ball. However, the moment he caught the ball, he was affected by Kirilenko's long arms. Millsap, who was guarding Bynum, ignored Bynum and rushed towards him. Ji Feng, the two of them surrounded and brought Ji Feng down!

"Beep!" The referee called a foul, but this time Ji Feng fell hard. As we all know, it is easy to be injured when being hit from the side while moving at high speed.

"Damn it, isn't this ball against the body?! He pushed someone!" The Zen Master on the sidelines looked a little angry.

But Jazz didn't care anymore, they just wanted to risk their lives to completely strangle Ji Feng to death!

As a result, the Jazz team fouled Ji Feng 6 times in the first quarter, accounting for three-quarters of their fouls in a single quarter. Due to this, Ji Feng only scored 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the single quarter.

However, the Jazz did not widen the gap. Ji Feng chose to fight tooth for tooth on the defensive end. The fierce defense allowed Korver and Kirilenko to score 2 points in a single quarter, but Ji Feng also paid the price of 2 fouls. .

Strictly speaking, Ji Feng's two fouls were within the range of being called or not, but the referee still gave them. The league really didn't want this series to end too easily.

Therefore, the two sides played 55-5 in the first quarter and tied 23-23.

"Fuck, this referee is really rubbish." Farmar handed Ji Feng a towel and expressed his displeasure.

"It's okay. I've adapted to the routine operations a long time ago. Now we have to find a way to open up the situation. Don't wait until the end. It's hard to say whether we will win or lose in a hand-to-hand fight with them." Ji Feng replied calmly: "This is also an opportunity. They If you target me, you will let others go. Find your own point and take action with confidence!"

In the second quarter, just when Jazz was immersed in the joy of restraining Ji Feng, Ji Feng had already thought of a way to deal with it.

"Now, let me show you the MVP's leadership moment!"

Ji Feng came on the stage again. He winked at Gasol. The latter understood the situation. Ji Feng picked and rolled. No doubt he was double-teamed and violated by small moves again. Ji Feng crossed directly and Gasol received the ball for three seconds. Bu succeeded in a one-handed dunk!

Perfect fit!

The Jazz pushed for a counterattack, and Ji Feng defended Korver tightly. Deron could only force a breakthrough, but Ji Feng suddenly followed up and sent a nail board!

The basketball flew out and was caught by Gasol. Gasol directly threw it to the frontcourt. Ji Feng fought out of the three players to control the basketball.

Yu Jia: "Wow, after Ji Feng nailed the big block, he went on a fast break. One-stop, he beat the Jazz 1V3 and lost his footing! Tomahawk chop!"

One attack and one defense to break the deadlock!

The Jazz immediately hit a three-pointer from Deron, and after the Lakers Ji Feng picked and rolled, he attracted a defensive assist and Farmar also hit a three-pointer in the open corner!

It wasn't over yet. Ji Feng suddenly flanked Deron in the frontcourt with Walton. Deron passed the ball in a hurry and was caught by Gasol. Gasol assisted. Ji Feng threw and dunked and scored two more points!

The Jazz decisively called a timeout. This time, the Jazz seemed to be drunk and unconscious. Suddenly, Ji Feng hit him on the head, causing blood to flow, and the point difference directly became 6 points.

The Jazz returned to the main force, and Kirilenko stayed here this time, but Ji Feng's rhythm has picked up, and his assists are everywhere. After the return of Kobe and Bynum, the scoring momentum soared, and the point difference directly came to 11 points!

As Ji Feng faced the three players and scored 2+1, the game returned to a familiar rhythm again!
