Chapter 87 China Derby

Ji Feng gradually conquered his teammates with his excellent performance. Coach Mark couldn't let Ji Feng play for no reason. Although in Mark's opinion, he still prefers Guy, but Ji Feng's outbreak has undoubtedly enriched Mark's tactical arrangements. Ji Feng can gradually sit on the bench. Mark began to let Ji Feng appear as the sixth man, forming a powerful combination with Conley and Navarro.

Of course, Ji Feng is not satisfied with being a substitute, but this is a good start, at least now that Ji Feng finally has a firm foothold in the NBA. Ji Feng's strength has been gradually recognized by people. ESPN has added Ji Feng to this year's best rookie ranking. He is currently ranked 17th, just one step away from the lottery.

Conley's fourth position has slipped to ninth, because the Grizzlies have too many guards, and Conley is always unable to make time to play, and he struggles to perform. This makes Conley a good complaint to Ji Feng.

ESPN also commented on Ji Feng, just four words: full of potential. But this also surprised a lot of people. It's surprising that ESPN can say good things.

In the next two games, the Grizzlies went to the Pacers on the road and returned to face the Heat at home. They won one game and lost one game. They lost to the Pacers with O'Neal Jr. and defeated the lack of Wade and O'Neal. Heat.

In these two games, he started one game and one substitute, and scored 16 points, 4 steals, 5 assists and 15 points, 5 steals and 3 assists respectively.

The performance is wonderful, especially so far, the whole pre-season Feng can get 5 steals per game, which makes the opponent who is facing Ji Feng miserable. Danny Granger of the Pacers is in the interview. Said that he had no idea how Ji Feng grasped the moment of his mistake and took out the ball.

"It's like opening up, and you know, I've never seen a defender who is so obsessed with steals, but he can always do it," Granger said.

These remarks were also translated by Chinese netizens, and Ji Feng also had his first nickname, "The Stealing Maniac".

This nickname was also told to him by the hot bar private message, which made Ji Feng dumbfounded. His other performances were also very good, good or bad, dunks, coquettish moves, bunker passes, this Granger, Ji Feng decided to do it in the future. Work harder to entertain Granger!

"Why don't you express my gratitude?" Ji Feng thought to himself.

October 22 is the training day of the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies will go to Houston, Texas on the 24th to start two back-to-back games with the Rockets.

The Houston Rockets are a strong team. Since Yao Ming was selected and Tracy McGrady was traded, the team's popularity has not only increased greatly, but it has also been able to reach the playoffs for several consecutive years. However, a team with two superstars Dayao and McGrady, and The Grizzlies have the same problem, and they are the owners of the first round of the playoffs.

No matter how awesome you are in the regular season, you must kneel in the playoffs.

However, this season Houston has completed reinforcements, Shane has joined, and Francis has returned, so they are ambitious and want to create good results.

After participating in the team's joint practice that day, Ji Feng performed physical training under the guidance of a physical trainer as usual, but he stopped quickly because he received another text message from China.

"Ji Feng, Ji Feng! My drama is about to air. Do you think I will be recognized by everyone? What if I get scolded!"

Ji Feng couldn't help laughing when he saw this text message. Recently, Hot Bar is going to debut, and he will be the leading actor as soon as he debuts. It puts a lot of pressure on Hot Bar, so he becomes very sensitive. So these days, I often send text messages to Ji Feng in the middle of the night.

Although Ji Feng wanted to say, "It's alright, isn't it just about getting scolded for idol dramas? I'll get used to it gradually."

However, Ji Feng felt that if he said that, the hot bar would definitely explode, so he still comforted him every time.

"It doesn't matter, the first one is scolded as a long experience. If I have time, I will watch your drama, come on!" Ji Feng also remembered the time of the new drama.

"Well! That's it! Come on for the game the day after tomorrow! I won't bother you anymore! Good night!" Heba saw that he rested with confidence and satisfaction. She just likes the feeling of chatting with Ji Feng.

Ji Feng, on the other hand, continued his training. The day after tomorrow will be a very big test for him. He will face one of the best small forwards in the league right now, Tracy McGrady.

This is the first time that Ji Feng has faced an opponent of this level, and he also wants to know how much difference there is between him and the world's best.

Before the game, this game has aroused great attention in the two regions of China and the United States. This may be the preseason game with the most attention so far.

The focus of the American media is whether Guy and Ji Feng can withstand the impact of Tracy McGrady. You must know that Tracy McGrady is at his peak, and there is no one who can completely defend against him alone. Most of the time it's easy to deal with.

Don't be fooled by McGrady's sleepy eyes that he can't seem to open, and don't be attracted by his seemingly casual way of playing, that's because he doesn't need to be serious in the face of ordinary opponents, and it's enough to abuse most of them people.

The Chinese media paid more attention to the first meeting between Ji Feng and Dayao, and the name of the Chinese Derby was called out again. Moreover, Chinese fans pay a lot of attention to this game. There are many Rockets fans among Chinese fans, but many of them are also fans of Ji Feng's performance, so this is also a showdown that makes Chinese fans tangled.

And how much attention this game has received, the reporting team from China can know that CCTV sent the highest-level reporters to Houston, while Tencent Sports, Moulang Sports, etc. have sent their own strongest reporter lineup.

On the 23rd, the Grizzlies assembled and flew to Houston.

The afternoon is the training time of the Grizzlies. The first half is the public training time when the media can enter the shooting. When Ji Feng was sitting on the stool and sorting out his shoes, he found that there were a lot of Chinese reporters around, which made Ji Feng appear in an instant. In a trance, if the surrounding teammates were not right, Ji Feng would have thought that he was playing in China.

After the training, Ji Feng was surrounded by a group of Chinese media waiting in the channel. In addition to Liu Jia, an old friend of CCTV, he also saw Shen Yang, a beautiful reporter from Tencent. Compared with other media, if it wasn't for the big men, Otherwise, the lineup of the audience is a bit unfortunate, or the reporters of Tencent Sports are more pleasing to the eyes.

"This captures the psychology of men. Tencent is going to be a big hit sooner or later. Watching basketball while watching beautiful women is life." Ji Feng admired Tencent's vision.

"Ji Feng, what do you think of the two upcoming Chinese Derbys." Shen Yang took advantage of the beauty and went forward to post directly.

"Ah, Brother Yao is very strong. I like to watch him play, but we don't directly match each other, and I've only just arrived, so I can play at a high level." Ji Feng said.

"Do you have confidence in Tracy McGrady, who may be your match?" another reporter asked.

"Maddy is very strong. I'm here to learn. When I learn all his skills, I'll have confidence." Ji Feng said humbly.
