Chapter 120 121. Returning to the Arena
"Gary, play the next dead ball."
Without waiting for James' second free throw, Walton called Lin Feng to get ready, in order to let him warm up in advance.
After a long absence, it is inevitable that you will feel unfamiliar with the stadium.
In fact, Lin Feng didn't feel this way, he couldn't wait.
After taking off his coat, he tucked his shirt into his shorts and walked to the technical platform near the center line, leaning there with his arms folded and ready to go on stage.
Hart struggled a bit. He and Kuzma were regarded by the old man as the focus of attention, and became a breakthrough on the defensive end, allowing Shuangde to succeed repeatedly.
"Look, Gary Smith is coming back from suspension. He's a very controversial player."
"The rookie with the 60th overall pick played lottery style in the first two games, but he was suspended for three games because of his lack of composure. Now he is back, what will happen?"
Following the commentator's words, the camera focused on Lin Feng next to the technical stage. He looked at the field firmly with his eyes, seemingly thoughtful.
With the last 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the bad thing is that the Lakers still can't get up to speed. On the offensive end, they are restricted by the Spurs, and when it comes to defense, they have no choice but to take double virtue.
The situation is slowly tilting towards the Spurs. They play very sophisticated and gradually control the overall rhythm.
Luke Walton kept walking back and forth, trying to get the players back into the offensive rhythm, but after all, Popovich was better, and he always found a way to restrain himself.
Switching offense, facing Kuzma's defense, Aldridge turned around and made a steady jumper.The old man on the sidelines smiled, and everything was going according to his expectations.
In the Lakers' round, after several passes, the basketball was handed over to Hart. He rushed straight to the basket from a 45-degree angle, and faced Gasol's strict defense and lost the ball.
The Spurs quickly counterattacked and threw the ball directly to Belinelli who was waiting at the three-point line after halftime, and the latter made a three-pointer.
29-36, the Lakers trailed by seven points in the away game, and their offense had problems.
In the last minute, Walton had to call a timeout to change the lineup.Lin Feng in front of the technical stage walked back to the bench and followed the coach's arrangement.
"We need to cut off DeRozan from everyone else, Gary, I need you to do that. Stick to DeRozan, don't let him get the ball. The opponent doesn't have foul trouble and we have, so we should be more cautious."
"The pace of the Spurs is different from other teams, and we didn't do our own thing, and it was too easy for the opponent to tear the defense. Come on, lads!"
To Lin Feng's surprise, Michael Beasley will play with him, and he will replace Kuzma to play the fourth position.
This guy has never been cold to himself, shaking his body to warm up behind Wharton.
"Hi Michael." Lin Feng took the initiative to greet him and extended his right hand.
Beasley glanced at him, reached out and touched Lin Feng's fist, then nodded without saying a word.
Well don't worry about these details, everyone wants to win the game, Lin Feng told himself.
On the Spurs side, Gay replaced Aldridge, leaving only DeRozan single-core to lead the team. The old man let their dual-core rest in turn to ensure that there is enough offensive firepower on the court.
Getting the chance to play again, he was much calmer than in Portland, but his heart was still surging.
He thinks that his thinking is very clear now, he understands what he wants to do, and how he can help the team take a victory.
It's just that judging from the score and the situation on the field, the Lakers are not far from the opening six-game losing streak, and they still haven't been able to play team basketball.
With six starting lineups in six games, Walton's coaching ability has been questioned.
Lin Feng was told to defend DeRozan. I'm afraid this is a point that Popovich would not have thought of. After all, let the first-year rookie face the veteran DeRozan?Still too tender!
When he made his debut, the DJ revealed his name, and there was little chatter on the scene. Spurs fans are very unfamiliar with Lin Feng.
In addition, the Lakers have too many rookies, and they will not pay too much attention to how a rookie with the 60th overall pick will perform.
It was Gay who received thunderous applause. He is the third firepower of this civilian Spurs and can often play an important role on the bench.
The team recalled Jonathan Williams from the Development League. This young man wearing the No. 19 jersey is full of energy. He will appear in the fifth position of the rotation at 206 cm.
After two substitutions, the Lakers withdrew all their starters, and the field became Rondo, Finson, Beasley, Jonathan and Lin Feng.
The commentator joked that the Lakers' thorny mercenary army appeared on the stage. All five of them had one-year contracts, and Jonathan was still a two-way player.
The offensive talent of the substitute lineup is very high, and if they play well, they can go crazy.
Both Finsen and Beasley are extremely talented offensive players, Rondo is the commander on the field, Jonathan is dedicated to doing the dirty work, and Lin Feng is the self-proclaimed son of heaven.
In short, they need enough tacit understanding to produce a chemical reaction.
In the last minute of the first quarter, the Spurs adopted a conservative style of play. They would not go for the number of offenses, but patiently hit the success rate.
"Gary, I'll cover you and show off your talent," Rondo whispered when serving.
The two remained calm, Rondo dribbled the ball halfway, Lin Feng came out from the baseline to catch the ball, and Mills stepped forward to defend.
The 183 cm Australian is very experienced, and this guy has been commanding the movement of his teammates on the field.
The former head coach of the U.S. team once commented on him, "It's hard to see a defender who can follow him all over the court when he is defending another defender."
This is indeed the case. Mills followed Lin Feng steadily, relying on good mobility to block Lin Feng's breakthrough route.
Facing smaller guys, Lin Feng has a lot of experience. In the summer league, he almost beat all the opposing point guards. Now facing Mills, he may encounter some troubles, but he thinks this is not a problem.
After feinting left and right, he started to break through at a high speed, and Mills clung to him, but he was still left behind.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Jonathan quickly bounced to the outside line to create space for Lin Feng.Pau Gaso at the basket does not intend to let him layup easily.
With Mills chasing back and Gasol blocking the shot, Lin Feng chose to throw the ball to Finsen, who came in from the wing, and the latter made a three-step layup and easily sent the ball into the basket.
After scoring, Finsen waved his arms and roared, of course he would not forget Lin Feng who passed the ball to him.
"Beautiful boy, your pass is very comfortable."
When returning to the defense, the two clapped hands. This guy is powerful enough. Every time Lin Feng clapped, he felt like his hands were about to break.
"Nice job Gary."
Rondo in the backcourt gave encouragement, and Lin Feng could help him share more of the pressure of ball possession, so that the Spurs did not dare to double-team Rondo unscrupulously.
Trailing by five points, with 53 seconds left, the attack just took 12 seconds, and they had a chance to catch up at the end of the first quarter.
The narrator discussed Lin Feng, and the two believed that he would continue to surprise the audience.
The Spurs had Mills on the ball, dribbling across the court at his leisurely pace, and it was clear they were going to kill at least 20 seconds.
In this way, the Spurs can get two offensive opportunities, while the Lakers only have one.
"Be vigilant! Don't let that kid steal it!"
The old man on the sidelines yelled at Mills, the "boy" in his mouth was referring to Lin Feng, who completed five steals in the first two games, which made the old man fearful of this rookie as a substitute.
