Chapter 810 Regretful Loss of a Decisive Blow
Although Director Zhang said this, anyone could hear the regret in Director Zhang's tone. Without Ji Feng on the court, even though the game was very exciting, it always felt like it was missing a little bit of flavor.
Director Zhang’s feeling also represents the voice of countless Chinese fans. You must know that the first two games of this year’s finals have attracted unprecedented attention in China. Whether in the company or in school, the NBA Finals is the most discussed one. topic.
When you walk on the street, you can always see posters related to Ji Feng and various peripherals, even in small 18th-tier cities. SH and even the subway are full of promotions related to the finals. Ji Feng’s huge The posters appear in the most prosperous areas of SH. Although many of them are pirated due to national conditions, this also means that Ji Feng is the trend among the trends nowadays.
CCTV's live broadcasts have repeatedly broken the domestic NBA's highest ratings record. The ratings of Pizza Love, with Ji Feng's participation, have been exaggerated every game, reaching an incredible number in just one year.
According to incomplete statistics, the cumulative number of viewers in the first two games alone is over 100 million. This is a terrifying number. In the sports circle, it is only comparable to the time when 2002 entered the World Cup, and there are still Tencent and others. If the online live broadcast is diverted from it, it would probably be even more terrifying.
However, in the third game due to Ji Feng's absence and the Lakers' loss, the ratings dropped seriously, not even half as high as the second game. This allowed people to see the impact of Ji Feng's absence.
Not only did the ratings drop, students in many schools also felt that the games they had been looking forward to in the past were no longer interesting. Many students turned their attention from TV to magazines that reported Ji Feng's latest situation every day.
This situation was also captured by the media, which jokingly called it ‘Ji Feng disease! ’
To the surprise of many domestic media, this situation has also appeared in Asian cities such as South Korea and Japan.
After Ji Feng was injured, many die-hard Ji Feng fans in Japan spontaneously took to the streets to pray for Ji Feng and pray for Ji Feng's early return to the competition. Many cute neon girls even regarded Ji Feng as a real-life version of Rukawa Kaede. , the title of "tearing man" spread like wildfire, making people feel that the culture of neon is indeed different.
If Ji Feng knew this, he would be very grateful to the Japanese girl for not watching too many indescribable videos. This Jay Chou and Mr. Ohmu...ahem.
As a major variety show country in Asia, South Korea mentioned Ji Feng's injury in many variety shows and rarely sent blessings, making people think that Koreans have changed their gender.
The main reason for this is naturally that in just one year, Ji Feng has become the most popular foreigner among the young generation in South Korea. His popularity in South Korea is no less than that of popular boy groups. On the contrary, because of Ji Feng’s handsome appearance and iron-blooded style, he has changed South Korea’s Fashion, many young people are rushing to imitate Ji Feng's private clothing and style. Many female idols in Korea list Ji Feng as their ideal type. After all, in their eyes, NBA superstars are absolute stars, and their Mass-produced stars are not on the same level at all.
This situation has naturally spread to the country. Nowadays, when Korean and Japanese trends are very popular, Ji Feng has really made a big impression in the country, and a world-class idol is rising.
So it's no wonder that after Ji Feng was injured, many official media rushed to send blessings to Ji Feng.
Okay, let's turn our attention back to North Shore Garden. All the starting players of both teams have played. There are no changes in the starting lineup of the two teams from the third game. Until now, basically everything that can be adjusted has been adjusted. It depends on the on-the-spot condition and adaptability.
Bynum won the jump ball in the game. The mental outlook of the Lakers players throughout the game was obviously different. Everyone had a fierce look on their faces. They were here to fight the Green Army!
For the first ball, the Lakers handed the ball to Bynum, the man who earned the ball in the paint. Facing Perkins who had suppressed him in the previous games, Bynum did not give up this time. He dribbled with his back, leaned twice and then turned around and made a small hook. !
"Good shot!" Ji Feng whistled. Before the game, Ji Feng also specifically approached Bynum to ask him to be harder, and it seemed to work.
In fact, Perkins is not as tall and long as Bynum, and his footwork and offensive skills are average. Logically speaking, Bynum will not suffer in this matchup. He is actually better defensively, but his momentum is very bluffing, and he looks fierce. Yes, this thing probably also has a bonus on defense. Anyway, Bynum did not have an advantage in the first few games.
But today, I don’t know if it was Ji Feng’s words that had an effect or Bynum’s sudden rise. Anyway, he beat Perkins 4 times on the offensive end, scoring 8 points in a row, and gave Rondo one on the defensive end. A big hat that blocks out the sun!
And Suijun may have been a little too happy about Ji Feng's incident. In the first quarter, he was very soft, and his shooting was the same. Pierce even fired a handsome and powerful Sanbu Tie, which almost knocked him down. The cameraman was killed.
"Did he go to the nightclub last night???" Buckley asked the following question.
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers surprisingly led 27-20 on the road by 7 points!
The situation still did not improve in the second quarter. The Celtics played too casually and seemed to lose their energy. Pierce continued to play, which made Vujacic feel too much. Ray Allen was also entangled with Kobe. A three-pointer was thrown out at halftime and bounced back. Only Garnett remained stable. In the second quarter, he scored 8 points and 4 rebounds. In the half, he scored 14 points and 8 rebounds, which stabilized the situation for the Celtics.
However, the Lakers still led by 12 points at halftime, which was the largest lead for the Lakers in an away game, and the best performers were not Kobe and Gasol, but Bynum!
Little Shark proved himself tonight. After scoring 9 points in the first quarter, he fouled Perkins three times in the second quarter. Not only that, Bynum got three offensive rebounds in a single quarter. , scored 6 points, and 15 points at halftime was the highest score in the game.
"The Lakers seem to have found their own inside pillar today. Bynum finally performed at the level that people expected him to perform!" Yu Jia said.
The outstanding performance in the half also gave Lakers fans hope of a counterattack, while Green Army fans were silent. Just now they were happy that Ji Feng could not come back. If they lose like this, it will be so painful.
However, in the third quarter, Pierce, who had been sleeping for half the game, finally woke up from a dream. He hit two three-pointers and a mid-range shot, scoring 8 points in a row and narrowing the point difference to 6 points.
The Lakers still played tough. Kobe stepped up and led the field, scoring 16 points in a single quarter, allowing the Lakers to still lead by 7 points entering the fourth quarter!
In the first half of the fourth quarter, the scores of both sides increased alternately. Ji Feng also stood up at this moment. It was so intense that the entire North Shore Garden condensed!
However, in the last 4 minutes of the game, the situation suddenly changed. Ray Allen made consecutive magic shots, including a super long three-pointer. The Green Army took the lead by one point in the last 13 seconds!
"Damn! You're so fucking unlucky!" Ji Feng cursed secretly. He can throw such a ball in. It's really a BUFF bonus from North Shore Garden!
The Lakers called a timeout and Kobe executed the final attack. Amidst the long boos, the Celtics defense was airtight. When Kobe finally caught the ball, he was squeezed and had almost no room to take a shot.
One last hasty shot, strike!
108-107, the Lakers defeated Boston by one point!
