NOVEL WEB Chapter 106
After 5 minutes of the first quarter, the score was 17:17!
The scores of the two teams rose very quickly, and the main point was that no one could defend against the other!
After Durant entered the zone again, Lin Feng was unable to limit Durant's score again!
Of course, the Thunder wanted to defend Lin Feng's score, but they couldn't!
The defense of both sides seemed to have become a decoration at this moment!
"Beep!"
Stotts called a timeout first because he saw Lin Feng's gesture!
……
"Shaq! What do you think?"
"Both teams seemed to have no defense and only had offense left!"
"This doesn't look like the playoffs!"
"It's a bit like the All-Star Game!"
In the broadcast room of the American Sports Channel, the commentary team went online!
At this time, Barkley threw the question to O'Neal!
In the past, O'Neal basically threw the question to Barkley, and the two sides created an atmosphere!
But every time they comment on the Trail Blazers' game, the scene will be reversed!
Because Lin Feng is O'Neal's good brother!
Every time I hear O'Neal's evaluation of Lin Feng, it can produce an unexpected contrast effect!
"no way!"
"My good brother Afeng was defeated by Kevin's attack!"
"Naturally, the Trail Blazers' defense was ineffective!"
"However, I bet Kevin will lose his strength starting from the 4th quarter!"
"By then, Afeng will definitely be able to prevent Kevin from scoring a single point!"
O'Neal said with a sly smile, first suppressing and then praising!
"Ha ha!"
"I knew you would do this!"
"But I think you are right!"
Barkley laughed!
Earlier, when he heard O'Neal say that Lin Feng was beaten by Durant, Barkley felt strange. Is this fat guy starting to stop licking his good brother?
He didn't expect that he would continue to [lick] him later!
"That's how the game works!"
"It is difficult for players to maintain their form throughout the entire game on the court!"
"A temporary hot feeling doesn’t mean anything!"
"In particular, the Thunder still failed to take the lead even though Kevin was almost always successful!"
"This is very interesting!"
"Don't forget, this is the Thunder's home court!"
Kenny Smith said with a smile, making a professional analysis!
"Kenny! You could be more straightforward!"
"Isn't it that the Thunder is actually at a disadvantage?"
"Why are you being so cryptic?"
Barkley chuckled!
"Ha ha!"
"You are worthy of being the King of Understanding】！"
Kenny Smith also laughed!
……
On the side of the court, on the bench of the Trail Blazers, Stotts was asking Lin Feng!
In the first five minutes of the game, the Trail Blazers were not at a disadvantage!
Just as Kenny Smith analyzed, with Durant almost cheating, the Thunder still did not take the lead!
This shows that the advantage is mine!
Don't panic at all!
Lillard's three-pointer and Lin Feng's mid-range shot are enough to ensure the offensive firepower of the Trail Blazers!
"Forest!"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"Or do you still feel that you have never been able to defend Kevin?"
"It's okay! Kevin can't be so accurate the whole time!"
"His physical strength can't support him to keep playing like this!"
Stotts asked with concern.
"cough!"
"Coach! Are you questioning my knowledge of defense?"
"Of course I knew Kevin was overdrawn!"
"But I think we can get a little more exciting!"
"Defeat the Thunder when they are at their strongest!"
"In this way, their self-confidence will be destroyed!"
"The small goal of completing the sweep is also easier to achieve!"
Lin Feng was speechless for a moment, and then he laughed slyly!
That expression was really a bit like O'Neal in the broadcast room!
They are indeed good brothers!
"Makes sense!"
"Do you want to... replace Pat?"
Stotts reacted quickly!
Connaughton has already shown his style in the playoffs!
Although Stotts didn't understand why Connaughton suddenly broke out!
But as a head coach, Stotts must show that [everything is under control]!
Otherwise, the position of head coach will be taken away by Lin Feng!
After all, Connaughton was strongly recommended by Lin Feng!
And Connaughton really played a brilliant performance!
Speaking of which, this year's rookies are all a bit of a monster!
A second-round pick can easily explode in the playoffs!
This is simply a bit of a subversion of Stotts's perception of being a head coach for so many years!
But no matter what, this is a good thing for the Trail Blazers!
"No problem!"
Stotts gave an affirmative answer without waiting for Lin Feng to answer!
As a head coach, you have to make the core players play happily!
Once the core players are happy, the game can be won easily!
Stotts feels that his coaching career has begun to reach a new height!
The realm has become different!
Only the head coach at a low level will rack their brains to arrange tactics!
The head coach at a high level has only one tactic: give the damn ball to Lin Feng!
Over!
It's that simple!
The timeout is over and the game continues!
Connaughton replaced Allen Crabbe and appeared at the small forward position!
Being substituted in the first quarter again made Connaughton very excited!
Just now on the bench, Connaughton heard the conversation between Lin Feng and head coach Stotts!
It was Lin Feng's suggestion that made the head coach decide to replace himself!
To be honest!
At this moment, Connaughton was almost moved to tears!
Willing to go through fire and water for Boss Lin, no matter what!
Connaughton's face was murderous, facing the Thunder players!
Before the timeout, Lin Feng has already made 5 mid-range shots!
This brings Connaughton a 50% mid-range hit rate bonus!
Although it has not yet reached the highest level, it is not bad!
Enough for Connaughton to have fun in the mid-range!
With Lin Feng and Lillard on the court together, the defensive pressure Connaughton faces will be very low!
Because the Thunder does not have so many defensive resources to deal with the three musketeers firing at the same time! As for whether the ball is enough, this is not a problem!
The reason is very simple!
Generally speaking, the problem of not having enough balls is that multiple players must hold the ball to find the rhythm!
And Lin Feng and Connaughton are in the mid-range, It is obvious that he can just catch the ball and throw it!
He does not need to hold the ball to find the rhythm!
In other words, the hit rate of mid-range shots has nothing to do with finding the rhythm!
And although Lillard needs to hold the ball to attack to be threatening, as a point guard, he is not the type who always holds the ball and swings it!
So, there is no problem!
On the other side, Thunder head coach Billy Donovan frowned slightly after seeing Connaughton being substituted in!
However, he put it behind his mind afterwards!
This is not Billy Donovan's contempt for Connaughton, he knows that Connaughton had a very eye-catching performance before!
It's that the Thunder has no time to take care of him now. A role player of the Trail Blazers!
The offensive firepower of Lin Feng and Lillard has already given Billy Donovan a headache!
Durant and Westbrook fired at full power, but still did not let the Thunder take the lead, which was something Billy Donovan did not expect!
Can the two young Thunder players maintain such firepower?
Billy Donovan is unsure!
The hit rate is bound to fall back!
However, for some reason, Billy Donovan felt that the offensive firepower of the Trail Blazers would not fall back!
This feeling cast a layer of haze over Billy Donovan's heart!
