Chapter 1811 Various Misalignments, How to Prevent This!

"Ji Feng is so awesome... I have seen games with more than a dozen rebounds in the half before, but Ji Feng is particularly awesome. He is so passionate about grabbing a rebound."

"With a triple-double at halftime, Ji Feng exploded again. He should be the first player to score 70 points in a game and get a triple-double in this game. If he's not the first player in the playoffs, then who else can be. "

"Chandler is not good. He was beaten badly by Ji Feng in the half. Dirk can be said to be focusing on scoring. After all, 18 points in the half is not bad, but what is Chandler doing?"

"12 in the half... If he hadn't been so focused on grabbing rebounds in previous games, I'm afraid he would have been the rebounding leader now."

"Boss Ji Feng, do you have any ideas to compete for the rebounding title next season?"

…

The midfield net exploded as it should, and the outcome of this much-anticipated game was definitely unexpected for most fans.

Just like what Hupu said in the first article: "I thought the Lakers could take the lead before the game, but I never thought it would be like this. Bynum played 4 minutes in the first half..."

That's right, 10 points, 11 assists and 12 rebounds in the half. Who would have thought that Ji Feng, who played half the game at the power forward position, could get his ninth triple-double in this playoffs in just half a game.

Among them, ten points in the half and eleven assists are no longer news to Ji Feng. Since Ji Feng entered the NBA, such statistics have been seen hundreds of times. At the beginning, the media even made a big deal about every game. They were all recorded, but since there were really too many, unless it was an integer number such as 50 or 100, no one reported it. According to many media: You just need to remember that Ji Feng is well-deserved, and no one reports it. Being the first to catch up is enough.

But a triple-double in the half is still an amazing achievement, especially the 12 rebounds. It's not like Ji Feng has never gotten it in the game, but it is only the second time in the playoffs that Ji Feng has double figures in half-time rebounds. And the most important thing is that this is Ji Feng's first time at the power forward position.

Barkley said enthusiastically during the halftime break: "In the first half, Ji Feng gave me the feeling that he was an enhanced version of Rodman. He can always appear in the best rebounding position, whether in the frontcourt or the backcourt. , he’s always the guy closest to the rebound.”

I have to say that this is a very high praise given to Ji Feng by Barkley. Rodman is a super rebounder. With his height of just over two meters, he can dominate the inside of a forest of people and win the 7th rebounding title. In the 1900s and even in the entire history of the NBA, Rodman was the best player in rebounding. In the minds of many people, he was the strongest one. After all, a player of his height could get so much. The rebounding leader is really unbelievable, so Barkley actually said that Ji Feng has the taste of Rodman, which is definitely a very high evaluation of Ji Feng.

Rodman, who was watching the game, quickly posted: "It seems like Barkley hasn't had his ass kicked for a long time. My rebounding is the strongest. There is no doubt that, of course, Ji Feng did a good job. He got the essence of rebounding. Height? Incompetent people care. People like us can get rebounds without height. Hey, boy Ji Feng, are you interested in joining my rebounding training class?"

As bad as ever, full of Rodman's style, but it is not difficult to see his appreciation for Ji Feng. He believes that Ji Feng, like him, is not a guy who relies on his height to win the basketball.

Those who have watched the first half can hardly disagree with this view. In the first half, Ji Feng was simply a rebounding monster on the court. He had the most rebounds of both teams, followed by Mavericks center Chandler. , only 6 times, only half of Ji Feng's, and there were zero offensive rebounds, which was completely destroyed by Ji Feng.

And the scenes of Ji Feng fighting for the basketball are even more exciting. He has repeatedly performed tricks such as suddenly appearing from different angles or picking off rebounds from the heads of Mavericks players. The four frontcourt rebounds are even more exciting. Not only that, All 4 second attacks were scored, including a three-pointer. This was the main reason why the Lakers were able to lead the Mavericks by 8 points at halftime. In comparison, the Mavericks only scored a pitiful 2 points on the second attack in the first half. .

"I didn't expect that the Lakers would let Ji Feng take on the responsibility of fighting for rebounds in the first half, and Ji Feng really held on. Although the Mavericks' shooting percentage was not weak, their halftime shooting percentage was 48.9%, which was better than the Lakers' 47.6% is a little better, but as long as the Mavericks don't do it, the Lakers will immediately counterattack. In the first half, the Lakers attacked 8 times more, had 9 more rebounds, and even outperformed the average 5-1 in offensive rebounds. I have to say that Ji Feng deserves the most credit,” Director Zhang said.

"The Lakers really keep surprising us." Yu Jia also said. The first half was in vain again. Although the lead was not big, in this kind of game, 8 points is already terrible. Didn't you see that the average difference between victory and defeat in each game after 5 games in the Eastern Conference Finals next door was only 6.5 points? If the Mavericks can't solve this problem in the second half, then this game will really be a disaster.

Naturally, the Mavericks couldn't accept it. Carlisle was furious in the locker room and said, "Do you just want to leave like this? In the first half, you were beaten by a short man of only two meters in the paint. He was asking for everything on your head. You are beating a guy." Shit, my grandma wouldn’t throw so many rebounds!”

"The second half is our last chance, if you don't want to go home and fish!"

"Marion, go and defend Ji Feng in a misplaced position, no matter which position he plays!" Carlisle got angry and then made his own adjustments. He wanted Ji Feng to stay away from the inside and let Chandler focus on the backcourt. Backboard protection.

"Keep an eye on Ji Feng, don't let him get the rebound easily!" He pulled Marion to whisper again before going on the court. It was obvious that Carlisle was really afraid of Ji Feng's rebounding ability.

However, in the second half, the Lakers changed their lineup. Bynum replaced Gasol, who played well in the first half, and returned to the center position, while Barnes replaced Artest. Farmar and Kobe became partners in the backcourt. Ji Feng remained the same. In position four.

However, in the first round, the Mavericks used Marion to defend Ji Feng, allowing Dirk to keep an eye on Barnes.

As expected, this move gave Ji Feng little chance to get inside, but Dirk couldn't look down on Barnes. Although Barnes' offense was average, he was faster than Dirk, and Dirk's defense was really average!

With one break, Ji Feng caught the ball and passed the ball with one hand. Barnes caught the ball and shot from the bottom corner, scoring an open three-pointer!

Dirk: "..."

Carlisle: "..."

Afterwards, Dirk still faced Ji Feng's defense. Ji Feng just pushed Dirk inward, kept close guard, and did not easily give him a chance to shoot. He did not switch defenses in the pick-and-roll. Although Dirk scored the goal, it was very difficult.

Looking back, the Lakers made another simple attack. Ji Feng once again assisted Barnes to hit a three-pointer from the opposite corner!

After making the shot, Barnes felt incredible and looked at his hand with excitement.

Carlisle covered his forehead...
