NBA: My cousin wears a watch, I wear a mid-range jumper

"call——！"

"Finally back!"

"This wave of 4 consecutive away games feels like purgatory!"

Back in the rented house in Poland, Lin Feng collapsed directly on the big bed, feeling particularly comfortable!

"Missing a woman!"

Lin Feng turned over and grabbed a handful, but naturally there was nothing!

The chance encounter with Christine before was also nothing!

As for other female stars, there is no chance to meet them for the time being!

After all, Portland is not Los Angeles, New York, or Washington, and the chances of encountering stars are still much less!

Lin Feng didn't care!

He is not that hungry!

The primary goal of this season is to play as explosive a record as possible and make a big splash!

After getting the [Player of the Week] this time, Lin Feng is also ready to be more restrained in scoring and shooting!

At the same time, he should improve his own playing style!

Shooting blindly in the mid-range area is obviously a bit too extreme!

Entering the playoffs has now become a small goal of the Trail Blazers!

And if you want to go further in the playoffs, you must make the Trail Blazers truly a whole!

By the way!

How is the deal for Gobert?

……

On December 12, at the Moda Center in Portland, a big man came here and seemed a little reserved.

The trade still happened!

At this time, the official websites of the Trail Blazers and the Jazz simultaneously announced a trade news!

The Trail Blazers sent Plumlee + Meyers Leonard+C.J-McCollum + the first-round pick of next season, got Gobert + Alec Burks from the Jazz!

Alec Burks is mainly used to match the salary!

A role player with good scoring ability, but other abilities are very poor!

The Trail Blazers still paid a lot of chips for this deal! Gobert

's defensive potential is seen by many people, but it is hard to say whether it is worth it for the Trail Blazers to trade 4 for 2!

The American Sports Daily also rated this deal!

The Jazz received an A- rating!

Although they lost Gobert, they got two inside players with different styles, which is enough to enrich the team's tactical system!

And C.J-McCollum has already demonstrated a stable scoring ability, which can bring more offensive firepower to the Jazz's perimeter!

The first-round pick for next season is a good resource!

The Trail Blazers received a B- rating!

Gobert does have the potential to become DPOY!

But the current version of the league is obviously more and more inclined to offense!

In the view of the American Sports Daily, instead of trying to let the Trail Blazers establish a complete defensive system, it is better to let Lin Feng develop three-point shooting ability!

By then, Lillard + Lin Feng can form another [Splash Brothers]!

But no matter what, this deal happened!

……

During training the next morning, Lin Feng saw Gobert!

"Hey! Rudy!"

Lin Feng went up and greeted Gobert!

Seeing this DPOY who was questioned in his previous life, Lin Feng was still very emotional!

After improving his outside defense ability to the maximum level, Lin Feng could understand Gobert more!

Defense is indeed a thankless task!

The sport of basketball determines that offense is far more active and easier than defense!

Especially in the era of small balls, the scores of both sides are rushing to 120!

What can a player's defense alone defend?

In a football match, you can set up an iron bucket formation to defend 0:0. The role of defense is very large, and you can also see it with the naked eye, that is, the opponent can't score!

But in a basketball game, defense is something that is difficult to evaluate objectively!

There is no data that can reflect it intuitively!

"Hey! Lin!"

Gobert's attitude was also very humble at this time!

Although Lin Feng was just a rookie, he was also an unusual rookie!

"Your coming here makes this puzzle complete!"

"From now on, the inside defense will be left to you, and the outside defense will be left to me!"

"Let's turn the wheel of this league around and have a retro defensive battle in the playoffs!"

Lin Feng patted Gobert on the shoulder!

"No problem!"

Gobert raised his eyebrows!

No one likes to be traded midway!

This is something that most players cannot control, and they will also become insecure!

Before coming to Portland, Gobert didn't know what position he would have in the new team!

Judging from the Trail Blazers' games in the past period of time, it is obviously a crazy attacking team!

In such a team, does Gobert, a player who is infinitely biased towards defense, really have a place to use his skills?

Now seeing Lin Feng's attitude, Gobert's heart was reassured!

It turns out that the Trail Blazers really want to pay attention to defense!

Then he Gobert has found a good home!

After meeting with head coach Stotts and team boss Lillard, Gobert was more certain of this!

The Trail Blazers are going to move towards a tactical system with a balanced offense and defense!

Since the team has just experienced a trade, Stotts mainly arranged some simple cooperation in today's training! The new lineup obviously needs new running-in!

From this point of view, the deal made by the Trail Blazers is actually a bit risky!

Because the chemistry of the Trail Blazers was very good before. Color!

After the trade, the team may become better: balanced offense and defense!

It may also be destroyed because of the chemical reaction, and it will be difficult to regain the previous state!

In that case, it is likely to cause the Trail Blazers' record to fluctuate violently!

But!

Once the running-in is successful, it will be a huge benefit for the Trail Blazers!

Any team that reaches the last step must be balanced in offense and defense!

Even the Warriors last season seemed to have won the championship by running and gunning and three-point rain, but in fact, the Warriors' defense level is not bad at all!

Green, Iguodala, Klay Thompson, these are all players who can be selected for the best defensive team!

The real defensive ability of the Warriors is much better than it looks on the surface!

After the Trail Blazers' offensive and defensive system is fully established, they will have stronger competitiveness in the playoffs!

In the afternoon, the Trail Blazers held an internal competition!

Gobert's ability to protect the frame and assist defense in the interior began to show!

Lin Feng's perimeter defense sweep and Gobert's interior defense sweep formed a very good chemical reaction for a while!

This made Stotts particularly surprised!

……

December 14, Sunday!

The Trail Blazers will face the Knicks at home!

This game will be the new appearance of the Trail Blazers after the trade!

At the same time, this is also the last game of the week!

In the Trail Blazers' locker room, Stotts made the final tactical deployment!

After the end, Stotts called Lin Feng aside alone.

"Forest!"

"If you want to compete for Player of the Week, you can still go all out in this game!"

"But after this game, I still hope we can play more systematically!"

"We also need time to get used to each other!"

Stotts said earnestly. It is hard to say whether young players can still listen to advice after playing too much!

"Coach! Don't worry!"

"You underestimated me again!"

"Let’s start the running-in process from this game!"

"My scores in the first three games were already high enough!"

"As long as we can win this game smoothly, we will definitely win Player of the Week!"

Lin Feng smiled.

"Ha ha!"

"That's good!"

"I'm really afraid that you'll become a data brush】！"

Stotts laughed, very happily!

Lin Feng's face turned a little dark!

I'm rough!

【Data Brush] This joke is not going to work, right?
