The game entered the second quarter.
The Lakers attack, with Xavier Henry holding the ball.
Zhao Feiyang crossed the half court first, and after establishing his position, he kept trying to get into open spaces. Klay Thompson also defended very hard, keeping an eye on Zhao Feiyang and following him closely.
Xavier Henry had a normal relationship with Zhao Feiyang, and the two had little interaction on the team. Therefore, he did not pass the ball to Zhao Feiyang, but to Wesley Johnson on the wing.
Wesley Johnson held the ball and entered the basket in singles. He soon encountered defensive interference from David Lee. The two had a confrontation in the penalty area. Wesley Johnson forced a shot, but was slapped down by a big block from the opponent.
Snapped.
There were exclamations at the scene, and the fans looked at this scene in disbelief.
The basketball rolled out.
Zhao Feiyang, with quick eyes and quick hands, came to the corner one step ahead and just happened to pick up the basketball rolling over. He didn't hesitate when he picked up the basketball, and made a shot directly facing Klay Thompson who was flying towards him.
Klay Thompson didn't think too much and jumped up high towards Zhao Feiyang.
Unfortunately, this was just a feint. After Klay Thompson was sent flying, Zhao Feiyang raised the basketball and took another shot.
Uh-huh.
A three-pointer fell firmly into the basket.
"nice shot!"
"Good job man!"
The Lakers fans on the sidelines were excited. What excited them was not only the three-pointer, but also Zhao Feiyang's usual state.
When the whole team is not performing well enough, it is certainly good to have one person stand up and carry the team.
In the past, this person was Kobe Bryant, but unfortunately he was recuperating from injuries during this period. Now this person is Zhao Feiyang.
Although he is only a marginal player, a role player who does not seem to be that important, he has a magical power that can manipulate the hearts of fans and make them look forward to it.
It was the Warriors' turn to fight back.
Zhao Feiyang knows that Klay Thompson is also very good at three-point shooting. After all, he has the best three-point shooting touch in the entire Warriors team except Stephen Curry, so he follows Klay Thompson closely and has no intention of giving him any trouble. Any opportunity he gets to catch the ball.
The Warriors' substitute No. 1 Jordan Crawford quickly advanced. After halftime, he tried to transfer the ball to Klay Thompson, but because of Zhao Feiyang's blockage, Jordan Crawford's attempt failed. can succeed.
Snapped.
The ball was given to the basket. David Lee caught the ball and turned around, shaking off the Lakers defender and scoring a layup.
The ball is back in the hands of the Lakers.
This time, Xavier Henry signaled Zhao Feiyang to serve him. Zhao Feiyang was further away from the basket, so he asked Xavier Henry to serve the ball first and then passed it back to him.
Perhaps Zhao Feiyang's behavior made Xavier Henry feel a little uncomfortable, so Xavier Henry, who was standing under the basket, served very casually and did not even pay attention to whether there were other players behind Zhao Feiyang.
The moment he threw the basketball, he looked up with a look of astonishment on his face, but unfortunately it was too late.
Zhao Feiyang was completely unprepared. Just when he was about to receive the basketball, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind.
This figure is not Klay Thompson, but Draymond Green.
Draymond Green intercepted the pass with a steal. After getting the ball, he went straight to the basket. When Xavier Henry came up to cover the defense, he forced himself on him. The two met each other, and Draymond .Green ended the battle with a dunk.
boom.
The basketball was hit hard into the basket.
Zhao Feiyang was helpless at such a scene, but before he could say anything, Xavier Henry started to complain.
“Man, can you catch the ball?”
"Why don't you take two steps forward?"
Zhao Feiyang almost laughed angrily.
"Xavier, you should be glad that Kobe is not here, otherwise he would greet you fiercely..."
When Xavier Henry heard Kobe's name, he was immediately frightened.
Kobe Bryant has always been merciless. No matter who you are, even if you are a superstar like Dwight Howard, Kobe Bryant will not give up reprimanding you because of your identity. On the contrary, his The mouth may be more venomous, and the words spoken may be more difficult for you to accept.
Rumor has it that when Kobe Bryant was younger, he gave teammate Samaki Walker a big fight because of a bet.
The reason for this slap was that the two of them were betting on each other within the team. As a result, Samaki Walker lost to Kobe. The other party didn’t want to give him the $100 they bet, so Kobe reluctantly asked for it on the bus. As a result, the two sides ended up because The quarrel broke out, and Kobe "rewarded" the opponent with a big fight.
In the league, fights between teammates are not uncommon, but what was different about Samaki Walker was that at the time, he was one of the few friends of Kobe Bryant in the league.
You can treat your friends so harshly, let alone the role players on the team!
Xavier Henry didn't dare to speak anymore and served the ball to Zhao Feiyang again. This time, Zhao Feiyang did not pass the ball back to him, but pushed forward with the ball.
After halftime, Zhao Feiyang looked for an opportunity at the top of the arc, and Klay Thompson stepped forward to actively mark him.
The two met each other, and Zhao Feiyang suddenly discovered the gap in the Warriors' left defense, so he continuously changed directions to avoid Klay Thompson. After getting out of position with the opponent, Zhao Feiyang rushed towards the basket.
Unfortunately, Draymond Green, who had just stolen the ball from him, suddenly came up to defend, blocking Zhao Feiyang's shooting space.
If he takes a forced shot, he is likely to be double-teamed by Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, and the probability of being blocked is quite high.
At the critical moment, Zhao Feiyang did not force a shot, but took the ball with his left hand and rushed toward the right side of the basket.
Chris Kaman happened to be at the basket and stepped in to block. Klay Thompson was immediately blocked, and only Draymond Green chased after him.
Seeing that he was approaching the three-point line in the corner on the right side of the basket, Zhao Feiyang also noticed Draymond Green following him, but he still made no other choice and turned around as soon as he reached the three-point line. He came forward, then raised the basketball and shot directly.
Uh-huh.
A three-pointer fell accurately into the basket.
Draymond Green missed the shot and did not interfere with Zhao Feiyang's shot.
From this moment on, Zhao Feiyang gradually took control of the Lakers' offense.
His shot was very stable, and assistant coach Cody Adams also acquiesced in his shot. Therefore, after playing 8 minutes and 51 seconds on the court, Zhao Feiyang scored 21 points with extremely high efficiency, helping the lagging Lakers finally Achieve go-ahead.
