Chapter 1840 Three Long Minutes
Ji Feng proved his worth in one game. He led the Lakers' 9-point reversal in a single quarter and firmly controlled the advantage in his own hands in the final stage. At the same time, he also made Chalmers a favorite among fans. Laughing stock, in just a short time, the Internet has been flooded with many animated pictures of Chalmers, and many talented netizens have made Chalmers emoticons. It won’t be long before this old man He can become famous on the Internet, although he may not be very willing to do so...
Not only that, Ji Feng's performance was also the best response to James Way's "coughing scandal". Some fans said with a smile: "Now Janeway should really have a cough."
Ji Feng's fans were all angry. Ji Feng once again proved that the consequences of irritating him would be too much for even a star like Janeway to bear.
ESPN even praised Ji Feng's strong mental attributes: "We have received very precise news before. Ji Feng began to feel unwell after training last night, and then he started to have a fever, which once reached nearly 40 degrees. He died on the way to the hospital. He fell asleep, so he missed all the Lakers' on-court training and pre-game adaptation training today. He only did a simple shooting warm-up accompanied by medical staff around 5 o'clock. At that time, he still had an infusion in his hand. needle."
"The Lakers team doctor said before the game that Ji Feng's chance of playing was only 1%, because he had no strength and his consciousness was even a little blurry. It would take an average person about 15 days to fully recover, and even strong athletes would need at least a week. "
"But Ji Feng insisted on playing and played the rhythm he was good at in the crucial third quarter. His performance in this quarter was perfect. Although James was not completely restricted on the defensive end, his best defense also allowed the front line to James, who scored 20 points in two quarters, only scored 5 points in this quarter. For a person who played sick, there is no more perfect performance than this. "
Lakers fans are also full of hope for the next fourth quarter. According to the rhythm of the third quarter, the Lakers' hope of winning is not too great.
However, the situation at the peak of the season when the whole world was focused was not good. When he returned to the bench, he did not celebrate with his teammates. Instead, he first had a cup of glucose. The 12-minute high-intensity game was a bit difficult for normal players. What's more, this is the finals, one of the most defensively intensive games in the world.
Normally Ji Feng would have no problems, but tonight was different. So after this quarter, Ji Feng's condition was actually not very good. To put it simply, he was already a little exhausted.
"Huhuhu~!" Ji Feng sat on the bench and gasped for air. Big beads of sweat rolled down his face. He sweated more in this session than he had in a previous game. The assistant coach even put his spare jersey on. I brought it because Ji Feng's jersey was completely soaked.
The team doctor also began to try his best to massage Ji Feng. He had actually suggested that Ji Feng should return to the hospital to rest immediately, but Ji Feng refused. After all, there was no reason to give up now.
"Ji Feng, how are you doing? Can you still persist?" the Zen master asked in Ji Feng's ear. He regretted it now. He wanted to take Ji Feng off to rest countless times in that section, but he was rejected by Ji Feng. However, he didn't insist. Letting Ji Feng play a whole quarter was actually not part of Zen Master's plan.
"Three minutes, I need three minutes!" Ji Feng said briefly. He had to save some energy even to speak now. Although he wanted to go up immediately, his reason told him that he needed to rest for a while.
"Relax brother, leave it to us, we won't let the point difference be narrowed." Kobe patted Ji Feng on the shoulder.
At this time, the referee came up and urged the Lakers players to enter the court. In fact, the noise on the Lakers bench had attracted a lot of attention. The referee had actually given the Lakers two more points, but now they must return to the court. .
Kobe was the first to go up, then called the players together and said: "Ji Feng needs us. He needs 3 minutes, but 3 minutes are not enough. We need to extend these 3 minutes!"
"Understood! Leave it to me, I won't lose the ball." Fisher immediately understood what Kobe meant. It was obvious that Kobe was going to play slow and let Ji Feng get enough rest time.
"Let me foul, I only had one foul this time." Artest stood up and patted his chest: "And it's normal to foul James, isn't it? We can even cut Haslem, his free throws are average."
Artest had the smartest moment in his life at this moment.
"Great idea, let's surprise the Miami crowd!" Gasol shouted.
Game start!
The Lakers retreated quickly, and the Heat were not in a hurry. They got into position to attack James. However, the Lakers' defense was very tight. It took 16 seconds for this attack to reach James. Just when James was about to turn around and attack, Artest directly chose to pull a foul.
The referee blew the whistle and the Heat had a sideline ball.
James was very angry. Although the clock was set back to 14 seconds, the Heat wasted an excellent opportunity, and Artest kept chattering in James' ears after the foul, and the trash talk never stopped, which made James extremely irritated.
So James asked again, and this time he played more resolutely. He and Artest fought at the top of the arc for 8 seconds, and then James made a strong shot while losing balance and scored a goal.
This goal also successfully received full applause from the fans at the scene. James even complained to the referee about wanting a 2+1, but the Lakers didn't seem to care.
After serving, Fisher didn't pick up the ball until near half court, and the count didn't start until 24 seconds. The Lakers also changed their previous outside-oriented play and began to focus on the inside twin towers. Gasol repeatedly came out for pick-and-rolls, and finally Kobe Bryant broke through. Assist, Bynum took the ball and hit it hard. He could have put it in, but he was looking for a foul on Haslem.
Haslem was also very generous, a beater sent Bynum to the free throw line.
Bynum first complained to the referee, then Jackson protested to the technical desk, and finally fell in love with free throws. Bynum played on the verge of referee warnings countless times. By the time he scored two free throws, a full two minutes had passed in the real world. .
"These guys." Ji Feng naturally understood what they meant, and they used this method to wait for Ji Feng's return!
It was still the same in the next round. The Heat's offense was constantly interrupted by fouls by the Lakers. Spoelstra was furious but had no choice. Reasonable use of fouls is allowed by the rules.
Finally, after the Lakers committed 4 fouls and caused the Heat 3 fouls, the long 3 minutes finally ended, and Ji Feng stood up and walked onto the court again!
"I'm here to end the game!"
