Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Chapter 207 Top perimeter defender

It's the home court of the Hornets again.

This is really a very happy thing for New Orleans fans.

Because the Hornets' regular season wins rank first in the league, as long as the Hornets can keep winning, they will be able to enjoy one more home field advantage in the playoffs this season.

And this means that even if the game is dragged into a tiebreaker, they can still cheer for the team at home!

New Orleans fans all regard Lien as a hero.

Because when the front line forward was elected MVP, the official announced the list of the best team at the same time.

The outside world also calls this year's best lineup "the most intense competition."

As strong as Tim Duncan and Paul, they were actually squeezed into the second team.

The five players in the first team are: Lian Feng, Kobe Bryant, Garnett, Howard and James.

Lian Feng couldn't help but feel a little sad. If it weren't for his own fault, Paul would not have been pushed to the second team. As a result, he lost another hard glory. However, as compensation, Lian Feng would try his best to let him touch

To the floor of the Western Conference Finals.

The second team is: Nash, Deron Williams, Nowitzki, Duncan and Paul.

Poor Stoudemire fell directly into the third lineup, pushing Carlos Boozer out of the third lineup.

In addition, Paul was also selected to the defensive second team.

Of course, Lian Feng did not leave his name on this list.

While the people of the Hornets celebrated the team's two additions to the list, Bowen on the other side was also happy.

Because, he was once again selected to the defensive first team.

Bowen feels that this is the league's greatest encouragement to him. What this means is that no matter what kind of person, as long as he can help the team win, he will be recognized by the league.

Even if the process doesn't satisfy everyone.

This made Bowen more determined in his approach.

So, come on, Lian Feng, let me see if you can still fly in this series!

This is the playoffs, and there aren't so many pre-game pleasantries. This is not the first time Lian Feng has participated in the playoffs, and he is already familiar with this rhythm.

For this game, the team prepared a very grand entrance ceremony for the players. They even thoughtfully prepared a Hornets home jersey for every home fan. So after entering, when you look up, the arena is filled with

A sweeping view of blue.

In this game, the Hornets wore their home blue jerseys, and the fans at the scene cheered for the home players at the top of their lungs.

"Crush them!"

In such an atmosphere, Lian Feng felt uninspired and raised his hand to wave in salute to the fans.

Bowen raised his head and looked at the fans, smiling coldly.

Soon, the game started amidst the commotion.

The players on both sides took their positions, and Bowen kept his eyes fixed on Lian Feng. When the Hornets won the ball, he immediately followed it up.

As the intensity of the playoffs continues to escalate, the Hornets' tactics are no longer effective. Therefore, starting from the game against the Mavericks, the Hornets have gradually acted like a traditional team, trying their best to create single opportunities for even forwards to score points.

.

It can be said that the competition in the playoffs depends on the offensive ability of both sides. This is why it is so difficult for superstars to team up.

Before Lian Feng could catch the ball, Bowen was already at his side.

Bowen has always relied on one-on-one defense. He even knew that if Popovich could only choose one player to play, he would not even choose Ginobili or Parker, but he would also have to play himself.

The reason is simple, his defensive ability is definitely among the best in the league!

He has delicate steps, constantly waving arms, and will never lose his center of gravity. Therefore, he can always stick to his opponent like a piece of brown candy.

However, Bowen knew that these were not enough to deal with Lien Feng.

Sure enough, Lian Feng received the ball at a distance of three points and one step and tried to use a probing step. Bowen did not stumble. However, what followed was an unreasonable pull-up jumper.

Bowen did not let Lian Feng take the shot easily. He almost blocked the ball in Lian Feng's face. But unfortunately, Lian Feng still made the shot.

Lian Feng glanced at Bowen lightly and said nothing.

Bowen sneered in his heart, be more proud, it is better to be more proud!

In the next round of the Hornets' attack, Lien forward received the ball on the wing again.

Bowen went up again, and this time he didn't even intend to give Lian Feng room for a pull-up jumper.

But then, Bowen saw a joking smile flash across Lian Feng's face, which made him a little uneasy.

Sure enough, Lian Feng suddenly accelerated, Bowen's eyes flashed, and Lian Feng passed by.

Yes, it is indeed difficult for Bowen to lose his center of gravity, but when it comes to the first defensive breakthrough, it is not so smooth.

Of course, the main reason is because the opponent is a serial forward and has the fastest first step in the current league, and at the same time, he is really too close to him.

The moment Lian Feng passed Bowen, his eyes scanned the position of his teammates and the opponent's formation on the field like a radar, and he made a decision instantly.

Duncan moved sideways and got stuck on Lian Feng's breakthrough route.

Lian Feng suddenly collected the ball with his back, then moved sideways and jumped.

Duncan rushed forward.

However, Lian Feng adjusted his posture in the air and turned his back to the basket, and then collided with Duncan.

Duncan's expression changed. The collision did not make him lose his position to block the shot, but after the two landed, he saw that Lian Feng did not have the ball in his hand.

Then, he heard the "bang" sound of a dunk coming from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Tyson Chandler who had received the ball at some point and completed the dunk.

Duncan reacted instantly. During the physical contact just now, Lian Feng had his back turned to him and passed the ball with his long arms behind his back.

This time he passed the ball, Lian Feng's arm even touched his waist.

Duncan deadpanned: "Nice pass."

"Thanks."

The brief exchange between the two ended instantly.

And this second pass completely angered Bowen. He knew that it was because of his defensive failure that Lian Feng took advantage of it.

You won't get this chance again.

Bowen muttered silently to himself.

On the next Hornets offensive round, Lian Feng suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Bowen's body was stuck on his side, and he was moving forward, but not completely. At this angle, the forward had to scramble for position in order to receive the ball.

At the same time, Bowen whispered in Lian Feng's ear: "You can win the scoring title because there are no more defenders like me in the league. Haha!"

Lian Feng just smiled coldly, then squeezed hard, grabbed the position, and asked for the ball.

However, Bowen was very satisfied with Lian Feng's reaction.

Haha, this guy really fell into his trap.

Bowen will use this strategy when defending any top perimeter player. When they try their best to get in front of him to catch the basketball, they unknowingly get further and further away from the basket.

At this time, Lian Feng had retreated beyond the three-point line.

Thinking of this, Bowen said contemptuously: "Let me show you what it means to be a top outside defender!"
