Chapter 88 Guy Who Was Blown Up
Ji Feng's interview is still very low-key, but McGrady is different. As a superstar with a very high popularity in the league, he will be asked almost every two days for his opinion on encountering someone opposite, and today is no exception.
"No matter who is on the other side, I will tell them what the real NBA is, rather than simply playing a house. As for Ji Feng, to be honest, I haven't watched his games, and I heard that he did a good job, but I have to say He has not encountered a real test, and as for the result, do you still need to ask." McGrady appeared very relaxed during the interview.
However, the reporters seemed to take it for granted, and they did not think that Guy and Ji Feng could restrain Maddie.
As another focus of attention in this game, it is naturally the duel between Dayao and Gasol in the interior, as well as Dayao's views on his young Chinese brother Ji Feng.
"Ji Feng did a good job. I can't imagine that I can get 20+10 data in the NBA one day at his age. I haven't met him yet, but I think we will have a chance to be together after the game is over today. Let's have a meal, provided Ji Feng doesn't mind me taking Victory away." Dayao said with a smile.
On October 24th, the much-anticipated Chinese derby will finally be held at the Toyota Center, home of the Rockets.
The venue was full, and the attendance rate of the Chinese was very high. In addition to most of them holding Dayao's cheer signs, many people also made Ji Feng's signs by the way, cheering for the two of them together.
In China, CCTV started broadcasting the game half an hour in advance, and thousands of viewers turned on the TV together, and as the game time approached, the ratings continued to rise. The viewership is already close to the viewership of last year's finals.
On the Internet, a large number of young audiences have poured into the NBA live broadcast rooms of certain wave sports and Tencent sports. This season's support rate is significantly higher than that of Dayao, which also highlights the attractiveness of Ji Feng among young people, especially Ji Feng. Feng has attracted a large number of girls to watch, and there are also many actresses in the entertainment industry.
Compared with the slightly rude Dayao, Ji Feng is obviously more popular with female fans.
However, with the announcement of the starting lists of both sides, to the disappointment of Chinese fans, Ji Feng did not appear in the starting list, which disappointed many viewers who were looking forward to Ji Feng's battle with Yao Mai.
At this time, the Toyota Center stadium was blacked out, the Rocket Bear waved the flag, and the players appeared one by one.
And when Yao Mai appeared, he made a deafening cry, but it is surprising that Ji Feng also received a lot of voices, even the biggest of the Grizzlies. It has to be said that in addition to his Chinese identity, Ji Feng's face is also very different. Taking advantage of it, this made Conley very jealous, and he was basically silent when he appeared.
"The Rockets' starting roster, center Dayao, power forward Hayes, small forward McGrady, sub-pointer Hyde, point guard Francis." The commentator read out the Rockets' starting lineup, which is a list that many Chinese fans are very familiar with. Except for Boss Buddha, who returned to the starting position this season, the rest are acquaintances.
On the Grizzlies side, Gay started, and Lowry was on the back line.
Ji Feng finally met Dayao at this time, and after a simple greeting, the game officially started!
Dayao succeeded in the scramble for the ball in the opening game. It has to be said that Dayao is too tall, which gave Ji Feng the illusion that Gasol was a little short for the first time.
The first ball, McGrady held the ball on the outside, and then Dayao came up to pick and roll, McGrady rushed in in one step, it was so simple and rude, but everyone knows that he wants to punch you like this, but he can't prevent it, Gay's speed, height , Wingspan, completely useless, McGrady reached the basket so easily and made a layup.
On the Grizzlies side, Gasol was of course playing tactics around Gasol, but Gay, who was easily passed by McGrady, was a little bit over the top. He wanted to play a response ball, so after receiving the pass from Lowry, he did not follow the path. Tactics opened to Gasol to do the ball. Instead, he signaled to pull away, he wanted to play singles.
He wanted to use his speed to push McGrady away, but he was too confident. The technical strength he relied on was not effective in front of McGrady, who was seriously defending, so Gay directly broke into the dead end, barely shot, and Yao Ming picked up the rebound!
On the other hand, McGrady can easily break through Guy. Guy is still a little immature in front of the experienced McGrady. When McGrady worships Buddha, Guy is easily shaken, and then McGrady makes a foul and becomes two plus one!
The 5-0 start made the atmosphere at Toyota Center explode, and the voices of McGrady MVP rang out.
"WTF!" Mark started cursing after two minutes.
The Grizzlies scored the first goal from Gasol's throw and pulled back two points.
"It's really a strong stroke." Ji Feng on the bench was carefully observing Maddie's movements. With a slender body and a height of 203cm, he has a wingspan of 221cm, and his huge palm can easily single Holding the basketball in his hand, the super-long Achilles tendon brought a crazy ability to jump on the spot. With the addition of the textbook-like shooting method and the elegant and agile way of playing, Ji Feng felt that it was normal for Guy to be beaten like this.
At the same time, Ji Feng was also thinking about how he would fight if he faced Maddie.
At this moment, McGrady held the ball again. He didn't even bother to break through the ball. He faked the distance in front of him and made a three-point shot. Guy took off with all his strength, but all he touched was a loneliness.
"Brush!" The basketball was accurately bagged, McGrady scored eight consecutive points at the start, and the ball completely ignited the audience.
The Grizzlies were a bit stunned. Guy lowered his head and thought about life. The others were also very dull. The Grizzlies encountered a big problem. McGrady has already opened, and he will be unstoppable after that.
Mark didn't choose to make substitutions. He wanted Guy to play it himself. Every superstar must not be abused on the way to growth.
But Guy was really abused so badly, McGrady's hands were hot, and the entire Rockets team went crazy looking for McGrady, Guy was overwhelmed.
And inside, Gasol can't limit Dayao, and his own offense is also very difficult.
In just 8 minutes, McGrady had already scored 15 points and 2 assists, while Gay had only 2 points and 2 fouls. The situation on the field is also in line with the scores of these two people, 22-12, the Grizzlies have walked to the edge of the cliff with one foot.
"I can't just lose like this." Mark looked at Ji Feng on the bench and told him rationally that even if Ji Feng went up, he would probably give McGrady another dish, but he had no choice at this time. Feng can bring surprises, he can only comfort himself like this.
"Ji Feng, Conley, Navarro! COME ON!" Mark still had a conscience, and replaced everyone who had a better tacit understanding with Ji Feng and Gasol.
"It's finally my time!" Ji Feng stood up and walked to the technical desk.
