"Zach, are you okay?"
When LaVine was being examined by the team doctor, Zhao Feiyang asked. Zach LaVine did not rush to answer Zhao Feiyang's question, but just waved his hand after being examined by the team doctor.
"Maybe I... need a little time to rest!"
When coach Norman Thomas heard this, he also chose to let LaVine return to the bench.
"Coach Norman, let me go!"
"This guy dares to do this to my brother. Even if he is Chris, I will never let it go..."
Zhao Feiyang volunteered to appear.
Coach Thomas didn’t refuse.
Soon, Zhao Feiyang was replaced by LaVine.
At this time, Chris Paul still didn't realize the problem. He just stood on the team bench and chatted with his teammates. It seemed that they talked about some interesting topics, and both sides would laugh a little from time to time.
Zhao Feiyang watched Paul's every move. Thinking about this guy taking the initiative to pull people down, and thinking about Paul's various tricks against him before, Zhao Feiyang's mentality inevitably became a little hostile for a moment.
"We must deal with this guy!"
"Even if you are an old-timer, you can't do this..."
call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
Both sides return to the court.
Paul's technical foul penalty has been issued, and Zhao Feiyang was assigned to make a free throw. He stood under the basket and took the basketball thrown by the referee amidst the boos of the fans.
Snapped.
After getting the basketball, Zhao Feiyang gently spun the basketball in his hands, then raised the basketball and took a decisive shot.
Uh-huh.
A free throw fell firmly into the basket.
Soon came the second free throw.
The Rockets fans still booed loudly, but this did not disturb Zhao Feiyang's mentality at all. After Zhao Feiyang took a deep breath, he firmly threw the second free throw into the basket.
The ball went in.
Made both free throws.
The ball is still in the Knicks' hands.
Snapped.
The basketball was thrown into Zhao Feiyang's hands, and he advanced with the ball.
When Paul pounced again, Zhao Feiyang refused the cover and help from other teammates. He directly waved his hand to other teammates to indicate that he wanted to play Paul alone.
"Everyone... pull away!"
Paul was stunned for a moment by Zhao Feiyang's big battle. After realizing that Zhao Feiyang's plan was serious, Paul also put on a defensive posture to deal with the upcoming confrontation.
Two people one on one.
Zhao Feiyang seemed to be determined to provoke Paul. Instead of shaking the ball head-on, he blocked Paul with one side of his body and used it to hit Paul with his back.
This kind of fighting style is not what Zhao Feiyang is good at, so Paul was confused at first when he encountered this situation. Until Zhao Feiyang's body suddenly collided, Paul finally felt the force brought by this collision. .
boom.
boom.
Paul tried to resist, but his "little steel cannon" body couldn't take any advantage at all.
Zhao Feiyang, who was more than a head taller than him, used his height and body advantages to beat Paul in singles, and suddenly turned around and pulled away after successive collisions.
This smooth fake move made Paul mistakenly think that Zhao Feiyang was about to take a shot, but when he pounced on him, he realized that Zhao Feiyang did not take a shot at all, but suddenly changed direction and shook the distance.
Unexpectedly, Paul was thrown away by Zhao Feiyang in an instant of acceleration. By the time he reacted, Zhao Feiyang had already dribbled the ball into the two zones.
boom.
Zhao Feiyang passed two people with a dunk and smashed the ball in.
The ball went in.
The fans outside the court let out an incredible scream, and LaVine, who was sitting and resting in the Knicks team bench on the sidelines, was also stunned.
"Is Zhao taking revenge for me?"
"Is he deliberately going against Paul?"
It was the Rockets' turn to serve.
Paul dribbled the ball across half court.
He encountered Zhao Feiyang's marking, and Paul did not panic. As a top defender in the league, he was very confident that he could break through Zhao Feiyang's interference. However, just as he was about to speed up and pass Zhao Feiyang, Dennis Jr. immediately came over to double-team him.
"Little Dennis, come on!"
Zhao Feiyang shouted, and the two of them rushed forward and clamped Paul tightly.
The sudden situation made Paul a little confused. He had no extra time to react and almost subconsciously kept the ball firmly in his arms.
Unfortunately, Zhao Feiyang's actions were rougher than before. He stepped forward and yanked Paul away, almost dragging Paul away with the ball.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded in time.
Paul, who was robbed of the ball in this way, was also angry. He stood up and planned to fight Zhao Feiyang. Zhao Feiyang didn't give in at all and walked up to Paul to confront him head-on.
Although the two men were angry, neither of them reached out. As veterans of the league, they all know what it means to take action.
"Zhao, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Chris, I want you to remember that I can accept all defensive actions within the rules...but you should not use those base defensive actions against me and my brother... .If I hadn’t seen you as a senior, I would have beaten you long ago..."
Zhao Feiyang said this very sincerely.
His attitude towards Paul has always been relatively positive.
When he was young, he liked Paul's dribbling. This 1.83-meter "little steel cannon" once brought him many wonderful moments. However, after coming to the NBA to play as Paul's opponent, Zhao Feiyang discovered that many of the rumors about Paul were true.
Paul does a lot of little tricks!
Although as a small player, you have to have some "means" to survive in this league, the league is not limited to small players like Paul. Others may have some "means" in this regard, but they are not enough. To the point where people are bored.
There is no doubt that Paul did it!
Zhao Feiyang likes Paul's playing style very much, but he can't let this old man deliberately cause trouble in front of him. Like it, you like it. When it's time to fight, you must treat the other party as your opponent and go all out!
"Both sides compete for the ball!"
The referee makes the decision.
Paul and Zhao Feiyang also stood together.
When the referee threw the basketball, Paul and Zhao Feiyang jumped up at the same time. However, the difference in bounce between the two sides was too big. Paul was crushed by Zhao Feiyang's bounce. The two jumped almost at the same time, but Zhao Feiyang took the lead and swatted the basketball away.
Snapped.
The basketball fell into the hands of Jordan, who rushed across half court with the ball.
As a big player, dribbling is obviously not his strong point, so he immediately passed the ball out after halftime. Dennis Jr. caught the ball and rushed to the basket. The single was unsuccessful. The rebound fell into the hands of Porzingis. Porzingis passed the ball and Zhao Feiyang received the basketball from outside the three-point line.
The moment he raised the basketball, Paul rushed at him again. Zhao Feiyang had no idea of retreating and threw the ball towards Paul this time.
Uh-huh.
A precise and neat three-pointer hit the basket steadily.
