Forward to the basket

Chinese journalists have been looking forward to a real "Chinese derby" for a long time, but the previous confrontations can only be a derby on paper, and there has never been a single one that has anything to do with fierceness.

No matter who is against whom, most of the confrontation is three to five minutes, and sometimes it can last more than ten minutes, and most of the confrontation is still in garbage time. The gold content of the game can be imagined, and it is meaningless.

The reports on those games can be regarded as making the reporters rack their brains to write colorful articles, but anyone who has seen the scene can know that it is just for their own entertainment.

No one wants to write about the kind of derby with less than three or five confrontations, but this is the reality. Fans and newspapers need to know the news in this regard. If you don’t want to write, you have to bite the bullet and complete this task.

But everything before that came to an end on this night in February. The Rockets met the Celtics, and a real Chinese derby was truly displayed in front of these reporters.

Yao Ming played 45 minutes, made 16 of 8 shots, 16 of 11 free throws, scored 27 points, two offensive rebounds and six backcourt rebounds, plus three assists and three blocked shots. These powerful statistics completely exceeded his average level.

Especially in the last quarter of the game, Yao Ming, the big guy who was originally the starting point of the offense, grabbed two offensive rebounds in a row, and caused Chen Feng and Perkins to foul twice at the basket.

If there were no free throws after these two fouls, it is estimated that the final trend of the game would still be hard to say, that is, because Chen Feng made six fouls and left the field, the Rockets took the lead, but the lead was only one point.

In the 48 minutes of high-intensity confrontation, there was only an extremely low score of 77:76, but no one would deny that this was a fierce game. After the entire confrontation, three players from both sides left the field due to six fouls.

The busiest part of the game might be the referees, they kept blowing their whistles, not because they wanted the game to be fragmented, but because of the fierce confrontation on the field, they had to interrupt the process.

Chen Feng's roar at McGrady can be regarded as pushing the game into a situation of strong confrontation between the two sides. Van Gundy is a very tough head coach, and Rivers is letting Chen Feng's fierce performance.

What that kid was going to do, from the moment Chen Feng made trouble, Rivers had already understood how difficult the Rockets' home game was, of course this low-key fat man knew very well, so it's not a bad idea for Chen Feng to play a little evil.

Therefore, the rhythm of the entire game began to lean towards frequent body contact. Chen Feng naturally liked this kind of chaotic battle mode, and he didn't intend to let the Rockets play a rigid battle, which was the result he needed most.

In terms of running tactics, the foundation of the Celtics team must be a bit weak, especially in terms of tactical execution, Chen Feng and the others are all used to being wild, so it's not this group of boys who are well-behaved.

So a little chaos, messing up the scene without any rules at all, is the main reason why Chen Feng wants to freeze the atmosphere on the court. The Celtics who give it a go will still cause many people to feel headaches.

Even the fans of the Rockets can feel that after that conflict, although the Celtics are still slightly behind in the score, the momentum of the whole game has got rid of the embarrassment suppressed by the Rockets before.

Especially the inside score began to increase. Although Chen Feng is really at a disadvantage against Yao Ming in terms of height, this kid definitely has a kind of slickness from the street. It is not easy to fight head-on. Passing the ball to him from the outside, Chen Feng will base his offense on the sprint, and sprint from all angles, and sometimes this guy can run all the way outside the three-point line on the offensive end, waiting for the opportunity to cut in, while Rondo's Passing the ball is for Chen Feng to have room to activate, it is a purely running back style of play.

Chen Feng had no choice but to do so. Yao Ming's jumping ability was really mediocre, but this guy's height was right there. , and his first attack was almost blocked, so Chen Feng knew he had to be careful, otherwise he would definitely follow in Jefferson's footsteps and let this fellow reward him with a few hot pots.

The Celtics did not have an absolute advantage in height inside, so Rivers defaulted to let Chen Feng play more flexibly and proactively, even if he lost the opportunity to grab offensive rebounds, it didn't matter. It started to start nearby, and it was completely in the posture of charging, even grabbing rebounds.

This is mobility. Rivers knows that if he hits the basket head-on, he will definitely not be able to take advantage of a guy with an extremely small height like Yao Ming. He might as well play to the limit and let the court The group of wild boys ran wildly, sprinted, and launched a wave of mad attacks against the Rockets' basket!

Rivers is also really willing to spare. Before the Celtics dared to fight inside, they relied on the advantage of the basket on both ends of the offense and defense. They were strong and had confrontation. It was very risky, but with Chen Feng on the court, Rivers dared to let this kid decide how to play.

Chen Feng also did have this kind of daring drive. Facing such a big man like Yao Ming, he dared to fight forcefully. This is beyond words of courage. This guy is obviously not afraid of death!

In the first quarter, the Rockets only led by two points in the end, because the Celtics' frequent impact after adjustment disrupted their rhythm, making the whole scene become stalemate and chaotic.

As for the middle of the second quarter, Chen Feng continued to attack near the three-second zone. Even in the face of Yao Ming's blockade, he dared to fight hard. , his super jumping ability combined with his exaggerated wingspan, he crossed Yao Ming's frontal block twice in a row, and smashed the basketball into the basket fiercely. The entire Celtics team became enthusiastic and completed the whole process from falling behind to overtaking in one go.

When the second quarter ended, the score had turned into a three-point lead for the Celtics, and in terms of rebounds, these guys just relied on that fierce rush to surpass the Rockets by a full ten!

This tough game style froze the atmosphere in the entire Toyota Center. Even the fans who were shouting just now unconsciously closed their mouths and began to watch every confrontation of the game with fists clenched.

In fact, it wasn't just the fans who had died down, even the media seats were the same. The few reporters who had just bet that Chen Feng had nothing to do, were now planning to smack their mouths.

But now no one cares what their mood is. Xie Miaomiao is almost engrossed in the competition. This fierce confrontation has made her almost forget what her own job is, and she is completely absorbed in it. In this intense collision, especially when Chen Feng and Yao Ming were facing each other head-on, these Chinese reporters held onto their cameras tightly, fearing that they might miss any exciting shots.

"I knew you boy wouldn't be beaten down so easily!" Xie Miaomiao looked at Chen Feng's fierce charge and clenched his little fists. He couldn't say he was very proud, but he definitely had a reversal. She had known for a long time that if Chen Feng could be held down by the Rockets like this, he wouldn't be a wild boy.

The fierce confrontation on the field surpassed any previous Rockets' home court. They were very passive in the face of the Celtics' charge.

But you have to say that Van Gundy is definitely a stubborn guy. Seeing the situation on the field, he didn't make any tactical adjustments. Instead, he withdrew Juwan Howard from the field and replaced him. He picked up an equally wild guy, the fat guy named Bunch Wells, and threw Hayes to Pierce's side when Battier fouled too much. This posture is completely ready In order to fight to the end, after Chen Feng charged Yao Ming twice in a row, the little giant fouled three times and ended up resting.

But the replaced Mutombo can still carry Chen Feng on the field. Although this old guy doesn't know how old he is, his experience on the defensive end is definitely old. He beat Perkins once on the field. The strong attack from the basket hit the backboard, and then the African uncle shook his finger at Er Fatty unkindly. His complacency once again made the Toyota Center Arena start to cheer for the old man.

But Uncle Mutombo still underestimated the strength of Chen Feng's counterattack. This guy got the ball back for Perkins in one minute. The Rockets' counterattack had just reached the basket, and Mutombo held the ball to the outside to try to pull the air. The defensive power at the basket, Chen Feng really gave him face, so he followed, but the uncle's pass was passed to Alston, who was cutting in empty-handed, and the streetball king's layup was just vacated, but Chen Feng caught him. The slap was blown away.

It really flew out, Alston's whole body was slapped out of the baseline together with the basketball in the air, and he fell into the crowd of reporters with no image at all, and the guy who committed crimes didn't care about the streetball king at all. How embarrassing it was to fall, but turned around and shook his finger gently at Uncle Mutombo.

And when the referee didn't pay attention, he put his index finger on his lips and demonstrated to the Rockets fans in the stands, but his behavior scared Rivers on the sidelines one jump.

Sturdy, unreasonable and brutal style of play, but it is such a stunned guy who just played a fierce and abnormal game on the Houston Rockets' territory. It is estimated that no Rockets fan will be able to erase it. Get rid of the deep impression this kid left in his mind, including which media.

25 points, 11 rebounds, 4 blocks, 3 assists, this is Chen Feng's answer sheet, if it is not because of six fouls with 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, no one knows this guy will It won't help the Celtics defend the final victory, but no one will doubt the destructive power of this kid.

Just like the words Xie Miaomiao wrote on his column after the game, "This is a real Chinese derby." I am afraid that at the end of the game, no one will doubt the weight of these words...

And those guys who still bet on Yao Ming to win before the game, maybe they are all rejoicing at the moment that Chen Feng's team still lost in the end, otherwise, why would their faces be so red because they were drawn.

A Chinese derby may make more people understand that the value of that wild boy may be even more explosive than they expected...
