Chapter 1998 Death Stare, a Crazy Personal Performance
After the first half, Ji Feng didn't say a word and went straight back to the locker room without greeting the coach or encouraging his teammates. For him, it seemed that tranquility was what he longed for most.
Except for Ji Feng himself, no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
Zen Master understood Ji Feng's silence very well. Instead of disturbing him, he led the team back to the locker room and told the team to leave enough space for Ji Feng.
"This guy is on the verge of exploding now. When he explodes, he will give the world a miracle." Kobe said to Gasol from behind.
"I agree." Gasol rubbed his head. As a teammate, Gasol knew Ji Feng very well. The reason why Ji Feng behaved like this in the first half was because he was anxious. The reason was naturally Bynum's injury.
This is not just because Bynum and Ji Feng have a good relationship. Of course, the relationship between the two is really good. Bynum is always the first person to rush up after Ji Feng is fouled on the court. On the training ground He also conscientiously served as a tuba sparring partner. For Bynum, Ji Feng was the one who guided the direction. His originally uncool mind became much smarter under Ji Feng’s constant encouragement and education. At the same time, Ji Feng also The person on the team who knows what Bynum is thinking best.
For Ji Feng, Bynum is his good brother. The result of his good brother's injury is unknown, which makes Ji Feng's mentality a little unbalanced. He too wants to respond on the court, but he is tricked by the Heat.
At this time, the outside world's attention is naturally focused on Ji Feng. After all, Ji Feng has probably been the most unsuccessful first half in the playoffs since his debut. He has maintained an average field goal percentage of no less than 50% for five seasons. The record passed away at the moment of the whistle. Many people realized that tonight's peak state was ups and downs, although the 48.9% shooting rate was still the highest shooting rate on the field at this time...
In the TNT live broadcast room, the three major commentators no longer had the relaxed atmosphere of the past. They analyzed the situation of the Lakers and Ji Feng.
Barkley: "Ji Feng wanted to win too much. He was very impatient. He took action at a few bad opportunities that were not even considered opportunities. This was something that was impossible before."
O'Neal: "Obviously, Bynum's injury and leaving the game affected Ji Feng's mood. He wanted to win too much but went too far."
Smith: "The Lakers' formation is also in chaos, their defense is not systematic, and the inside threat is greatly reduced. In this quarter, James scored 16 points, 12 of which were obtained through breakthroughs, and he also had 3 dunks, which was more than the entire game in the first game. Bynum’s dismissal still has a huge impact on the Lakers.”
On the Internet, Heat fans were not so tactful. At this time, Ji Feng had 17 points, 4 assists, 7 rebounds and 4 turnovers at halftime. James scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 turnovers. His performance was long-awaited and he suppressed Ji Feng. More importantly, he had 22 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 turnovers. The thing is, in the second half of the second quarter, the Heat played so smoothly. From the scene, they simply pushed the Lakers to the ground and beat them violently. The Lakers had no power to fight back, which made them inflated.
"Ji Feng basically raised his hands and told everyone that I can't do it anymore, I surrender, and I'm going to kneel this time."
"Look, look! What are you talking about? I've said it a long time ago. You still don't believe that Ji Feng is a system player. If it weren't for Kobe, Gasol, and Bynum, Ji Feng would be An average player can be regarded as a star at most. Look, Bynum has just been injured and his true colors have been revealed. If Kobe is gone, why won't he just crash?"
"It's not the case upstairs. Ji Feng's performance tonight was average, but it can also be seen. Ji Feng is not in a good mood and is still a loser. Don't brag about the collapse of the previous character. They are all normal people. They lose a game. It’s not bad to recognize the reality.”
"Finally! Finally, we've waited for the day of collapse!"
…
These remarks made Hot Bar, who took advantage of the intermission to read online comments, so angry that he quit the website, turned off the Internet as if to relieve his anger, and turned off his mobile phone completely as if to relieve his anger.
"Hmph, it's only halftime, why are you so angry!" Reba cursed the person who scolded Ji Feng in his heart, and then looked worriedly towards the direction of the player tunnel. Ten minutes have passed. Usually, the Lakers It was time to come back, but at this moment, the player tunnel was still dark. It was impossible for Reba not to worry, because this was the first time she had seen the expressionless Ji Feng.
In the Lakers locker room at this time, Bynum was undergoing examination. According to the team doctor's preliminary examination results, Bynum may have suffered ligament damage, but the specific results will definitely not come out until after undergoing an MRI examination, but even if It is predicted that Bynum will miss all subsequent games.
This means that Bynum's season is over.
After learning of this result, the atmosphere in the Lakers locker room became even more solemn. This was the first time the Lakers had faced a major attrition in several seasons. Previously, due to the Lakers behind the bench and Jackson's reasonable rotation strategy, the Lakers were all injured. One of the least in the league, keeping all members healthy is also an important reason why they are unfavorable.
But at this moment, they have to accept the reality of Bynum's reimbursement.
This inevitably caused fluctuations in the mentality of the Lakers players, but at this moment, Ji Feng stood up and said, "We have nothing to worry about tonight."
"Man, watch in the locker room and take good care of yourself. We'll wait for you to come back."
After saying this, Ji Feng took the lead and walked out of the locker room.
After adjustment, Ji Feng's mentality has returned. Now he doesn't think about anything else but victory. Not only does he want to win, he also wants to completely crush the Heat!
…
Second half.
The Heat started with one big and four small. They wanted to seize the third quarter to completely extend their advantage. Chalmers raised his eyebrows at the camera lens and said arrogantly: "I have already thought of what posture to use." Celebrated.”
Unfortunately, these words were heard by Ji Feng, who had just walked from the locker room to the court. Ji Feng glared at Chalmers indifferently and then walked onto the court.
This scene was caught by the camera, and many people said that this was the coldest look they had ever seen, especially compared to Ji Feng's look in the past.
"You know, at that moment, I thought I was dead..." a fan said after the game.
Chalmers escaped without seeing it, but he soon stopped laughing.
At the beginning of the game, the Heat were planning to follow the same pattern and take the lead, but Ji Feng suddenly started at the top of the arc and teamed up with Kobe Bryant to attack Wade. Ji Feng slapped the ball away, and then swayed away when Wade wanted to pull him away, with his hips. After the layoff, he took three big steps towards the half court, and then took three big steps from the free throw line to slam the frame!
While the whole stadium was cheering, Ji Feng remained expressionless and didn't even make any celebration gestures. He directly called his teammates to return to defense.
The Heat seemed to feel the pressure. James pulled out to defend at the fourth position, but Ji Feng chose to defend. Gasol guarded Battier. Although Battier was flexible, his personal offensive ability was poor. This was also a change for the Lakers.
James held the ball at the top of the arc and was about to break through. After a dribble, Ji Feng's fingers arrived and he stole the ball again. This time Ji Feng jumped to hug the basketball and threw it forward. Kobe quickly stepped out and got the basketball. Ji Feng jumped up with one hand on the ground and followed up with three big steps. Kobe was chased by Wade in the frontcourt, and there was James behind him, but Kobe didn't panic at all. With eyes on the back of his head, Ji Feng caught the ball in the air and turned 180 A layup and two more points!
