21. A showdown between point guards!
There is no guarantee that every steal will be successful. Lin Feng will only attack rashly when it is absolutely foolproof or when the success rate is extremely high.
After stealing Nwam just now, he would definitely be on guard and even give the ball to his teammates until Lin Feng's momentum passed.
The highest state of basketball is the integration of man and ball, allowing them to control the ball as they please.
If you can see the world three seconds later, then you know where to move the ball, and you know where the gap is.
If you can see the world three seconds later, then you can block all the opponent's breakthrough routes or fengsha his pass.
Nwam had lingering fears, because the guy in front of him could always see through his intentions, and there was a risk of the ball being stolen every time he made a breakthrough.
"Hey brother, let me see what you can do. 14 points in the last game? Today I will limit you to single digits."
Lin Feng is full of confidence. He is in good condition today. What he needs now is to take action at the last second when Nwam makes a choice.
"Gary! Do what you want!" Blanche shouted at him.
Adebayor on the Heat bench looked disdainful, "Nwam, how could you be knocked down by a late-round pick?"
Adebayo was a lottery pick selected by the Heat last year. The Heat's biggest player, he set a personal record of 16 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks against the Raptors at the beginning of the year.
Lin Feng looked very calm, he could keep up with Nwam and block him from the three-point line.
Everyone can see that Nwam, who comes from the Development League, cannot break through Gary Smith one-on-one!
After the muscle-to-muscle collision, Nwam stumbled and almost missed the ball.
"What the hell!"
The Heat point guard muttered something and then handed over the ball.
"Don't underestimate a late-round pick." Lin Feng whispered.
In the next round, it was the Lakers' turn to attack.
"I control the whole court." Lin Feng took the initiative to ask for the ball from his teammates because he was full of fighting spirit now.
Nwam looked a little nervous. He didn't expect to meet his opponent in the summer league. He is the best sixth man of this Heat team.
"A friend of mine told me that the first thing to do on the basketball court is basic skills. If you can't even do this well, you won't be able to do those fancy things."
Lin Feng muttered that he wanted to destroy his opponent physically and mentally.
"What a mess!" Nwam was so nervous that he was sweating. Who is this guy!
In fact, the "friend" Lin Feng refers to is Uncle Drew.
"I will break through from your right hand."
Lin Feng was confident that he could defeat the opponent because the two were not at the same level of strength at all.
Even if he is a late-round pick, he is not comparable to those who are in the Development League.
He started suddenly, drove to the basket at a speed that Nwam could not catch up with, and switched hands to pull the lever for a layup.
"Too fast! He looks like a cheetah!"
"That Heat No. 7 is no match for her!"
Kuzma applauded off the court and said to Ball and Ingram next to him: "This guy's idol is Kyrie Irving. Look, the lever he just pulled looks like Kyrie."
Ingram, who looked like he had not slept, said: "Kyle, can you be quiet?"
Brother Qiu spread his hands.
Lakers coach Luke Walton saw the sharp breakthrough just now, and he began to become interested in the new No. 11.
The breakthrough is indeed picturesque, but the height of 191 centimeters is easy to be targeted in the NBA where there are many ordinary people, such as Stephen Curry.
In the 2016 Finals, Curry was frequently switched by James and then played in singles. He was obviously unable to withstand James, the number one player in the league.
What surprised Walton was that his late-round pick was both offensive and defensive, and he made at least one G League star player suffer.
"Predict the top level." Blanche was so excited that she trembled, and a big man over two meters tall began to shake his legs excitedly.
Nwam stood on the sideline with his hands on his hips, looking incredulous. He actually cut off his own ball?
He dribbled the ball across half court again and directed his teammates to move. Nwam did not learn the lesson from last time and continued to look for breakthrough opportunities. He thought what just happened was just luck.
In the last game, he came off the bench and scored a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds, which gave him a lot of confidence.
The Heat center tried to step forward to provide an off-ball screen for Nwam, but Wagner also chased him. If Nwam was left in a single situation with Wagner, it would almost be like giving up points.
The players in the summer league all want to do their best to express themselves and will never let go of the opportunity to play singles.
Lin Feng stared closely at the basketball and was always ready to steal it. In fact, he had already had the opportunity to pounce on it just now. To be sure, he chose to continue waiting.
What would this guy Nwam do?
The scene three seconds later keeps appearing in my mind, breakthrough or pass?
Lin Feng's concentration reached its peak. Suddenly, he saw in a trance that this guy was going to do a three-pointer?
Shet, he must be crazy!
There was only two seconds left for Lin Feng. He originally stayed within the three-point line to prevent Nwam from breaking through, but he didn't expect that this kid actually wanted to shoot a three-pointer!
Nwam planned to pull up a three-pointer, and that was right, because Lin Feng did not defend as closely as he did last time.
Another second passed, and the image of a basketball tentacle flying toward the basket appeared in Lin Feng's mind. Yes, it was indeed a three-pointer!
This was Lin Feng's first attempt to block a shot. If Nwam was just a feint, he would lose face.
Nwam jumped high, and just when he was about to throw the ball, a big hand blocked his face!
Fans in the front row could clearly hear the sound of the basketball hitting the ground.
"He completed a block. God, Gary Smith's footwork was perfect. Just before Nwam threw the ball, he was still two meters away. We all saw what happened next!" The commentator was gradually attracted by this.
The last-round pick was impressed.
Lin Feng also didn't expect that he could actually block this ball, because he was still some distance away from Nwam just now.
"Ball interference!" Nwam shouted at the referee.
The ball was blocked out of bounds and became a dead ball. The referee decided to watch the replay of the game. After a brief exchange with the technical desk, the referee determined that it was a good ball.
The big screen at the scene kept replaying the scene just now. It was indeed a good shot, because Lin Feng had already taken off at the moment Nwam took action, and completed the block as his body rose.
The whole audience exclaimed, this shot can be called an NBA-level shot!
Because of the joining of James, this wealthy team that has always been outside the playoff gate has once again attracted people's attention. Now that the Lakers have overshadowed the Warriors, they have high hopes from neutral fans.
Since Lin Feng came on the court, the Heat have not scored yet, and the gap has been narrowed to 4 points. The Heat coach had to call a timeout and re-formulate tactics.
"Good job, buddy!" Hart was the first to high-five him, followed by Caruso and Big Mouth Wagner.
Bichler took out his tactical board and called the boys over.
Chapter completed!
