Chapter 81 Rondo

[Thank you, digital brother]

For NBA players, time always flies, especially when flying back and forth.

In the blink of an eye, the day for the game between the Timberwolves and the Celtics has arrived.

After another long journey with the Timberwolves, Li Feng has arrived at North Shore Bank Garden Stadium, the home of the Celtics.

And in a powerful arena like the Celtics, Li Feng finally saw some of the foundation and history of basketball.

Not to mention anything else, he was shocked by the dozens of NBA championship flags and retired jerseys of many famous stars hanging in the North Shore Bank Garden Arena.

It is really an honor to play against such a unique team. And if you can beat such a team with your own hands, it will be even more of an honor!

While Li Feng was taking a break between training before the game, he wandered around the venue for a while. While he was admiring the Celtics' glorious historical achievements, he was also learning about the glorious experiences of the NBA in the past.

.

Auerbach, Russell, Bird... each of these shining names, each leaving countless classic deeds, attracted him easily and made him unwilling to leave for a long time.

Just as Li Feng continued to wander to a corner of the arena and gently stroked a basketball that seemed to be very special in the window, a voice suddenly interrupted his movements: "Hey,

Boy, what are you doing here?"

Li Feng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled softly to himself. He was a little too involved just now and was attracted by the basketball in front of him that had many signatures.

He turned around and looked at the person who had just shouted to stop him.

But when he saw it, he quickly felt surprised again.

Because the person who appeared in front of him at this moment was none other than the head guard of the Celtics, Rajon Rondo!

"Oh, it's you. I didn't do anything, I just took a look!" Li Feng answered after a long while, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Brother Rondo had already expressed his fighting spirit and disdain for him through the media before the game. Naturally, he would not have a good attitude at this time.

Seeing Li Feng calmly and decisively leaving, Rajon Rondo, who had just walked over, was a little surprised, but his expression quickly changed, and he became extremely arrogant, and said with a smile: "Who do I think I am?

, So it’s your boy. Why, you admire the history of our powerful team, so you came here to pay homage?”

Li Feng was about to leave, and when he heard Rondo's words again, he couldn't help but snorted: "I respect these seniors very much, but I can't talk about worshiping them. And these people have nothing to do with history or you?"

After saying that, he took a few steps forward and headed back to the visiting team's locker room.

But right behind him, Rondo suddenly shouted again: "Hmph, you are pretty good. But, Chinese data man, I tell you, I will beat you until you reveal your true colors tonight!"

"'Data Man', you have the nerve to bring up this word and don't look at the level of teammates around you. However, I am not afraid of a guy who can't even shoot. I'm waiting for you.

Rajon Rondo!" Li Feng sneered with great disdain and finally left Rondo.

He had never expected to bump into Rondo here just now, but he had already expected Rondo's arrogant reaction.

Because many black players with hot tempers, inability to change their temperament, and high self-esteem have such virtues. It is completely normal for them to have envy, jealousy, and unconvinced attitudes.

And although it is not necessarily accurate to say that "the limbs are strong but the mind is simple", in fact, many NBA players still have this problem to a greater or lesser extent. Rajon Rondo is almost the same.

Li Feng returned to the team's locker room alone, and it was empty. Many teammates had not returned yet, and they were probably still doing warm-up training on the court.

However, at this time, he did not choose to go back to training. Instead, he first packed up his competition equipment, put on his socks, protected his ankles, and tied his shoes tighter.

The handling of these details will still have a certain impact on the players, but once they are handled perfectly, the players' game status may even be better.

Li Feng always pays attention to these personal details during competitions and is never careless.

Not long after, other team members also came back one after another.

Immediately, the evening game will officially begin, and everyone is making the last adjustments.

However, none of the Timberwolves players knew that Li Feng had already met Rondo first.

At this time, they were still extremely enthusiastic about helping Li Feng discuss how they should respond when they meet Rondo later.

In this game, Li Feng will still play the role of the team's sixth man, so he happily chats with his teammates and is not in a hurry.

He is now playing the sixth man position and has become the best in almost every team in the league, and his playing time is even more than that of many main players. Therefore, Rambis regards him as the ace of the rotation lineup.

After using it, he gradually came to enjoy this arrangement.

Although he and Wesley Johnson appear to be the starters and substitutes, in fact the situation is completely reversed. He is the main force.

If we had to find a similar player in the league to compare him with, Ginobili of the Spurs should be his direct template.

When Rambis chose to use him in this way, he probably stole some of **Vichy's ideas.

However, as the Timberwolves' opponent tonight, the Celtics appear to have a particularly prosperous lineup, and they can even scare people with just one player.

On the inside, not to mention other things, first of all, the reputation of O'Neal and O'Neal can make Milicic and Love have a drink; in addition, the power of their combination of Pierce and Ray Allen on the outside is equally amazing.

Such a powerful team quickly showed extremely sharp attacking firepower at the beginning of the game against the Timberwolves.

Although the Timberwolves players are all young and strong, they quickly fell into a disadvantage in the competition with this group of star old guys.

Especially on the inside, Milicic and Love were left trying to defend, but they still couldn't stop the terrifying offensive firepower led by O'Neal.

Also, the Celtics' perimeter players also took the opportunity to show off their power frequently, forcing the Timberwolves to dig a big hole in the first quarter.

And Rondo, the Celtics' leading point guard, easily received many assists during this period of time, looking extremely relaxed.

Li Feng was sitting off the court, watching Rondo's performance on the court, and couldn't help but feel a little disdainful. He personally felt that Rondo's passing data was really easy to obtain. Rondo only had to carry the basketball across half the court and then throw it to other players.

Just in the hands of a star player.

So Li Feng even thinks at this moment that if he and the stars of the Celtics fight together, the assist data will also be a lot.

Of course, Li Feng doesn't want to change teams with Rondo. He is also trying to understand Rondo's true offensive ability through his own personal observation.

As rumored, Rondo's outside shooting ability is very poor. He only has breakthrough methods and a move to shake the ball against defenders.

After witnessing it with his own eyes for a while, Li Feng became more confident about Rondo's offensive level, and gradually found some targeted defensive methods.

Timberwolves head coach Rambis did not let Li Feng think in vain. After facing the cruel fact that the team fell behind the Celtics by a big score from the beginning, he quickly activated Li Feng, who had recently

ace.

He gently patted Li Feng on the shoulder and said very solemnly: "Li, after you come on the field, you will lead the players to attack crazily and try to get the score back!"

After that, Rambis asked him to replace Ridnour.

Rambis is actually very aware of the current situation on the court. He doesn't want Li Feng to waste too much energy on facing off against Ray Allen, so he lets him directly deal with Rondo, who is much shorter.

, specializing in the position of point guard.

Li Feng quickly walked onto the court and fought side by side with several main players of the team again.

He followed coach Rambis's order to attack aggressively, but when he got the basketball, he was very confident and relaxed, already prepared for what to do.

The Celtics have naturally seen the Timberwolves' lineup rotate, but their head coach Rivers is very satisfied with the team's current situation and does not plan to make substitutions immediately.

Rivers hopes to continue to use this group of people on the court to further widen the point difference between the two sides. If the foundation for victory can be laid in the first quarter, those star players will still be able to get enough rest opportunities later.

To be honest, under the current situation, Rivers' idea is indeed not a bad one.

And after Rajon Rondo discovered that Li Feng had finally come up and faced him directly, he was also very excited, and seemed to have a tendency to try his best.

However, it is still unknown whether the ideas of the two of them will be realized.

The Timberwolves immediately continued to attack. Li Feng took the ball and carried it for a while. Facing Rondo's defensive defense, he suddenly couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

Upon seeing this, Rondo immediately snorted unhappily: "Boy, your glorious performance will end here!"

After that, he quickly stretched out his arm and was about to break the basketball in Li Feng's hand!

Although Li Feng's attitude was very relaxed, he did not relax in the movements of his hands. With a flick of his wrist, he dodged Rondo's steal attempt and subconsciously took a step forward.

Rondo failed to steal the ball, quickly put his body away, and came back urgently. He was worried that Li Feng would use his speed to take advantage of the opportunity to complete the breakthrough.

But Li Feng didn't do that at all. He just saw that the Celtics' O'Neal and Garnett had already settled in front of the inside, so he didn't take the opportunity to break through.

After facing Rondo and resetting his defense, Li Feng suddenly turned around and once again chose to hit him from behind!

After he made such an offensive move, everyone on the scene, including the players on the field, changed their expressions subconsciously.

With such an action, you can eat Rondo alive without any effort!

Rondo's expression became much more serious at this moment, and he immediately used all his strength to hold Li Feng tightly, trying to push him out again.

However, Li Feng quickly sat down with his butt towards Rondo's body, exerting force on his waist and back, and at the same time began to move his body, carrying him firmly towards the inside.

Rondo's push on his body didn't have much effect.

After successfully advancing for some distance, Li Feng turned around with a slight feint and forced a short and deft shot in front of Rondo.

Rondo always knew that Li Feng would take action like this, but he couldn't interfere at all and could only stare.

Moreover, this defense was even more difficult than defending Li Feng's shot from the front.

At the same time, it is precisely because of Rondo's presence that his body blocks the other Celtics' interior positions from advancing to defend.

However, even if someone really wants to come over to defend and interfere with Li Feng, they still have to consider Li Feng's passing skills.

Li Feng used such a clever and unconventional move to easily score the first ball after taking the field. Rondo's arrogance and confidence were severely suppressed at the first opportunity.

However, Rajon Rondo would not give up so easily. During the subsequent Celtics attack, he was also ready to take action himself.

Even though the Celtics now have a lot of players who need to take the ball, Rondo has already opened up his posture and wants to conduct a one-on-one singles attack with Li Feng.

But just after the two faced off for a moment, Li Feng suddenly took two steps back and let go of Rondo by more than a meter. He also deliberately said to Rondo gently: "If you choose to shoot right away, then

I won’t guard against you!”

Rondo was just thinking about what method he should use to deceive Li Feng to complete the attack, but he didn't expect that Li Feng would suddenly say this again, so he immediately became a little angry.

He wanted to get the ball and get up and shoot a jump shot right away, but looking at the basket so far behind Li Feng, he gradually lost the confidence to shoot again.

A moment later, Rondo suddenly swatted the basketball, as if he had completely made up his mind, and chose to go straight to the hinterland of the Timberwolves, finally planning to score with a breakthrough layup.

Li Feng was mainly defending Rondo's breakthrough layup, so he followed up the defense early and did not let Rondo's breakthrough idea succeed.

Rondo only took a few steps forward with the ball, but found himself being strongly blocked by Li Feng, and had to slow down his dribbling rhythm again and find another way.

At this time, the entire Celtics team had actually started to operate automatically, and they were all cooperating with his offensive actions.

Rondo turned his head to look at the situation on the court, and then reluctantly took a few steps forward.

When he saw that the distance from the basket was finally not too far away, he hugged the basketball, held the ball with one hand and suddenly raised it hard into the air to one side, as if he was planning to throw it from a long distance!

However, Li Feng didn't move at all. He knew that Rondo was good at deceiving people with fake moves.

While waiting for Rondo to turn back to the other side and prepare to actually throw the ball, Li Feng immediately jumped up and slapped the basketball that Rondo had just left his hand with a big hat!

At this moment, the scene was silent.

The basketball that was slapped was accidentally picked up by Ray Allen. He immediately raised his hand and took action quickly.

It's a pity that Ray Allen didn't score this goal either.

Li Feng had already turned around quickly, and immediately threw away Rondo who was about to rush for the rebound. He ran to the basket first, jumped up, and grabbed the backcourt rebound that just popped up!

O'Neal and Garnett were still fighting for position with the Timberwolves' two inside men, but neither of them responded too quickly.

Rondo's action to grab the board was also quite fast, but unfortunately, in the end, he missed it.

After Li Feng grabbed the rebound, he passed Rondo easily and rushed towards the Celtics.

The Celtics quickly returned to defense, but only three of their outside players retreated in time, and they all retreated to defend inside.

However, Li Feng stopped directly on their outside line and decisively shot a chasing three-pointer.

When the basketball, with a beautiful arc, smoothly fell into the basket, Li Feng immediately raised his head towards Rondo and said with a smile: "See, this is called shooting. Do you know it?"

?”

Rondo's face instantly turned the color of liver, and he turned around to receive the serve from his teammate.

Rondo was probably determined to show his personal power in front of Li Feng. This time, he did not intend to pass the ball to his teammates. He dribbled directly outside the three-point line, trying to pass Li Feng to complete the breakthrough!

However, Li Feng always kept him more than one meter away and was not afraid of his breakthrough moves at all.

Seeing the time passing quickly, the other Celtics players also showed some impatient expressions. Rondo suddenly gritted his teeth and decisively chose to pull up from outside the three-point line and shoot!

But just when he jumped up to take action, Li Feng jumped up high, roared, and stretched out his arms in a disturbing gesture.

These movements could not touch Rondo at all, but Rondo had no confidence in his shooting, so his wrist shook subconsciously before shooting.

Naturally, the basketball he shot clinked, and the iron was struck again.

But after the basketball hit the basket, it quickly followed its original path and seemed to bounce back again!

But Li Feng would not let go of the rebound. He immediately turned around and jumped up again. He was in the air and grabbed the rebounding basketball with both hands.

Snap!

He swatted the basketball with both hands, then held it tightly in the air, and successfully grabbed a rebound.

This is the second rebound tonight, and Li Feng is always counting it in his heart.

When Rondo saw Li Feng's movement, he had no choice but to shake his head with great regret and prepare to defend.
