Chapter 1818 James Was Hung and Beaten?
A much-anticipated opportunity to respond to the ball was interrupted early by the referee's whistle. Bald referee Crawford decisively whistled James for hitting someone with the ball, and the ball changed hands!
The wrinkles on James' forehead became deeper after being sentenced for a foul. He chased the referee with the ball and shouted: "WHAT?! This ball is also a foul. Look at his figure. I can hit him like this. I put the basketball Eat it!”
But Crawford obviously didn't want to watch James perform his ball-swallowing stunt. His gesture was very firm and he told James that if you keep chattering, I will let you go back to the locker room to watch the game.
Moreover, you can clearly see the slow motion of this ball. Ji Feng predicted his position in advance, his steps were very solid and did not move, and James did have an obvious pushing action on his hand, which was enough.
James also calmed down under the protection of his teammates, but his goal still attracted boos and ridicules from the fans in the audience.
James in the 10/11 season is the NBA's number one villain, and every move he makes on the court will become a reason for people to attack him.
Ji Feng deeply regrets this, but does not sympathize with it. Once some decisions are made, it is impossible to look back. Since he is determined to leave for the championship, he should be fully mentally prepared for the possible consequences.
However, it can be seen from the peak of this season that James is too anxious, just as anxious as he is about his career plan. Because he is eager for success and eager to prove himself, he chose to leave Cleveland and come one step closer to the championship. Recently, Miami formed the Big Three to pursue the championship. Because he was anxious, he gave up his insistence on one man, one city, and did not hesitate to bear the reputation of betrayal. Because he was anxious to prove to the world that he was stronger than Ji Feng, he chose to confront Ji Feng head-on. !
So at this moment when he finally got his wish and stood on the finals stage again, James was anxious again. He seemed to be unable to wait to hold the O'Brien Cup in his arms, even if the outside world analyzed that even if the Heat won the championship and won the FMVP He doesn't care if it's Wade instead of him. As long as he has the championship in hand and can defeat Ji Feng and the Lakers head-on, he will have more time to wash away everything about himself, whether it's infamy or anything else.
This urgency has turned into pressure, which is a kind of pressure that the outside world cannot experience, and James in 11 years is obviously not strong enough to play under such terrifying pressure!
So his mentality changed. Just like the ball just now, Ji Feng just hit it at the beginning. This was just the first ball in this long round of finals. James was fully capable of handling it better, but he chose to He forced himself to do it, so he caused a foul, and the roar after being whistled was more like an emotional vent. He didn't know that he had indeed committed a foul, but he had to yell out.
"Old James, how can you win if you fight like this?" With just one goal, Ji Feng had already determined that James would have no chance of defeating him tonight.
However, this kind of pressure is understandable for Ji Feng. Unlike Ji Feng who started at a young age and was a bachelor, James was the number one pick of the golden generation in 2003 and the son of heaven. In his seven years in Cleveland, James has tasted all the honors in the world, but he has never been involved in it. Championship, "The bird knows the ambition of the swan." James' desire for the championship has exceeded everything, everything!
His goal is Jordan, the first man in history. He is about to turn 28, the age when Jordan won his first championship, and he still has achieved nothing. On the contrary, behind him, a guy from Asia is rising like crazy. , catching up with him at a speed that everyone including him could not understand, three championships, three regular season MVPs, two finals MVPs, three consecutive scoring champions, four consecutive best defensive players, four consecutive double teams, All-Stars Double-lap Grand Slam, the first single-season honors Grand Slam in history, breaking nearly 300 records in four seasons, the youngest winner of various honors in history...
To be honest, you are James, you have to be anxious!
That decision in the summer of 2010 quickly escalated, causing an uproar and shocking the entire league. Cavaliers fans even burned jerseys and destroyed posters to express their dissatisfaction with James' departure. For a while, "traitor", "reporter" and other bad words were pressed on James. Said James' reputation was in disrepute.
But James still did it, and there might be a reason why he wanted to compete with Ji Feng.
In a word, he really wants to prove himself.
However, the more this happened, the harder it was for him to get out of the pressure.
After this ball, the Lakers used Kobe's power to beat Wade twice in a row, and Wade also responded with two goals. The two best shooting guards of this era played very lively, and the passionate one-on-one also made The fans enjoyed watching it.
Relying on Ji Feng's opening score, the Lakers are still 2 points ahead.
In the fourth round, the ball finally returned to Ji Feng's hands. Ji Feng came to the low post and faced James with his back. This is Pierce's favorite way to beat James in isolation, but Ji Feng's back play was different. He didn't force it. Instead, he used his feet to get out of the way and ended the attack with a mid-range shot.
Hit again!
The pressure is back on James' side.
It can be seen that the core of the Heat's tactics is Wade. James plays without the ball, so he also goes to the low post like Ji Feng. But unlike Ji Feng, James' low post skills are very poor. During this period, It can be said that he is a star who can hardly play in the first line, so he can bully 'children'.
So James missed again in this attack. The strong shot he turned around was blocked by Ji Feng. Not only did he hit the iron, but the rebound was also taken away by Ji Feng. And if the referee hadn't been merciful, James' second pulling foul would probably have been a running foul. No more falling.
"James was in average form at the beginning, and his two offensive options were hard to describe." Director Zhang said bluntly.
And James fans are also a bit clever. James was unable to break into the inside twice, which was rare in the past.
However, many James felt that this was just the beginning, but Ji Feng was not prepared to wait for James to recover.
Zen Master accurately discovered that James had become a weakness, so with a wave of his hand, the ball began to concentrate crazily in Ji Feng's hands.
In the next 7 and a half minutes, Ji Feng took the initiative to break through the paint 11 times, took 8 shots, hit 6 goals, and scored 4 free throws. Ji Feng played 8 minutes in this quarter and scored 10 goals in a single quarter. 20 points!
Just looking at this set of data, you can see how hot Ji Feng's state is. What's even more outrageous is that Ji Feng only allowed James to take 4 shots in this quarter. After 5 minutes, James didn't even take a shot!
"What's going on, James was hanged???"
The fans were dumbfounded. How could the originally imagined passionate collision between the two forwards turn into a one-sided defeat?
