Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Lian Feng smiled softly: "That's interesting, you are asking me not to be so cruel to you, right?"

Howard was slightly startled. Indeed, asking Lian Feng to play a traditional center against him was actually a disguised admission that he had no way to deal with Lian Feng at this time, so he could only ask for mercy from the opponent in this way.

Howard got angry and said, "Don't be proud!"

Lian Feng shook his head nonchalantly: "But it doesn't matter, I will fulfill your wish and come to test whether you can do it in the low position."

Howard was stunned. When he came to his senses, Lian Feng had already run away.

What does this guy mean? Is he ready to fight with himself in the paint like a true center? He's absolutely crazy.

…

The second half started quickly.

Still the first appearance.

However, the Hornets' lineup has undergone some changes at this time.

Adelman's rotation idea is to let Beverley, Holiday and Curry rotate with each other. When one of Holiday or Curry needs a rest, Beverley comes up to play point guard, and Curry

Lee and Holiday are both combo guards, and they are still very capable at shooting guard. When Curry and Beverley are on the court at the same time, Curry is still the point guard.

Of course, Beverley spends more time resting underneath. But as long as Holiday or Curry comes off the court to rest, he will definitely seize the opportunity to express himself to the best of his ability.

On the inside, Yin Baka and David West can rotate with each other, basically without any problems.

At this time, after playing for a while, the starting players of both sides took off the court to rest. Without Howard, the Magic team found it even more difficult to restrict the Hornets. Both offense and defense were completely suppressed.

After Howard and Lian Feng took a break, Adelman deployed a double power forward formation of David West and Yin Baka, which instead suppressed the Magic's inside line. At the same time, relying on their strong outside defensive capabilities,

One of the Magic's outside players was completely misfired. At the same time, Curry frequently made moves on the outside, using the three-pointers that the Magic are good at to continue to widen the point difference.

Howard couldn't sit still off the court. After the timeout whistle, Howard came on the court.

But Lian Feng was still resting down there.

Without the restriction of a forward, Howard suddenly felt much more comfortable. There was no disgusting entangled defense in the mid-range, and there was no embarrassing situation of not being able to grab the position in the low post. As soon as Howard came on the court, he dunked twice and grabbed an offensive rebound.

Catching up by 6 points.

So, Adelman also called a timeout, and Lian Feng came on the court without any surprise.

With this attack, it was the Hornets' turn again.

Lian Feng jokingly said to Howard: "How about I fulfill your wish this time and beat you like a traditional center?"

Howard felt that Lian Feng was a bit stupid. He was committing suicide by doing this. Of course he wanted Lian Feng to do that, so he provoked: "Hey, stop talking nonsense. If you play against me using a traditional center, what will happen?"

I'll beat the shit out of you! But I believe you don't dare to do that, you definitely don't dare, you are just a poor coward, a coward."

Lian Feng felt funny. Howard's character at this time was like a child. He must have thought that his strategy of provoking enemies was great.

"Then let's try it!"

On the first attack, Lien Feng set up a pick-and-roll for Curry like a traditional center, and then quickly cut in. Howard did not lose his position this time, and quickly followed Lien Feng, and the two moved forward and back to the penalty area.

Curry pulled in to create a suitable space for Lian Feng, and then passed the ball with a ball.

The forward catches the ball, suddenly changes his steps, and lifts the ball as fast as lightning.

Howard had no time to react and jumped up reflexively, reaching out to block Lian Feng.

However, in the next moment, Howard's vision went blank, and Lian Feng took the ball back mysteriously and began to turn around at the same time.

Fake action!

Howard had just landed, and with his powerful jumping ability, he jumped up again, straightened his arms, and was ready to slap the ball away.

But at this moment, Lian Feng, who had already turned halfway, stopped, turned around again very rhythmically, and easily completed the shot from the other side.

Howard had no way to react and could only watch as Lian Feng made a layup and scored the ball.

Dream steps!

This set of movements is smooth and rhythmic. In Howard's opinion, every time Lian Feng shakes his shoulders or lifts the ball, it is full of deception. The body has no way to resist the conditioned reflex, and even before the brain has time to issue instructions, it will

He had already jumped subconsciously, so he couldn't control being shaken away.

To the outside world, Lian Feng seemed to perform a gorgeous waltz under the basket, as pleasing to the eye as a dance, and easily scored the basketball.

Lian Feng spread his hands: "Look, even if you use the traditional center method, you can't do it."

To be honest, Howard was a little envious of Lian Feng's gorgeous steps. But of course he couldn't show it, he just snorted coldly.

Next, Howard felt like he was stuck in a quagmire again. And this time, the feeling was more obvious than before... because he couldn't grab the rebound!

Every time, Lian Feng seemed to be able to predict whether the basketball would miss, and also know where the missed basketball would fly.

Every time the basketball is still flying in the air, Lien Feng will turn around or fall down in other ways and get stuck at the landing point.

As for Lian Feng, who was stuck in his seat, his center of gravity was even lower and there was no way to push him away.

Being stuck is a very uncomfortable thing. Rebounding mainly depends on three points, height, blocking and anticipation.

Among them, the stuck position is the more critical link. It is difficult for the player who is stuck to take off. Coupled with the terrifying rebound speed of Lian Feng, there is basically no way to steal the rebound from his hands.

Down.

As a result, Howard's scoring once again came to a standstill. There are three main ways of scoring. One is to rely on his strong containment ability from the outside to clear a certain space in the penalty area, and then use his back to turn around and take a step to finish with a dunk. The other is to

Receive the inside pass from his teammate to complete the game, and rely on his strong offensive rebounding ability to grab the offensive rebound and then complete the second score.

However, due to the Hornets' strong defensive ability, the first two paths were almost blocked. At this time, Lian Feng repeatedly frustrated him on the backboard, so Howard really didn't know how to play for a while.

Lian Feng was a little regretful because he didn't even have time to show off his sky hook, so the game turned into garbage time. In the end, in the fourth quarter, Lian Feng went off the court to rest.

In the end, the Hornets defeated the Magic with a score of 121 to 94.

Lian Feng easily scored 34 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals.

Howard, on the other hand, only scored 11 points, 6 rebounds, 1 block and 7 turnovers in the entire game.
