Chapter 419. 420. "The Great Devil" Zhou Qi

On the evening of the 15th, the Citizens Commercial Bank arena was packed, attracting tens of thousands of people to watch the game.

They all came here for the two NBA players, Lin Feng and Howard, and they can see them play for a few dollars, which makes many young people feel excited.

As a result, a game between the South Bay Lakers and the Valley Viper easily broke the historical record of the Development League's attendance.

This surprised Lin Feng. He thought it would not cause any trouble, but he did not expect that the Los Angeles people still gave him enough face.

There were many young people in the audience, they could afford the entrance fee of a few dollars, so they rushed into the arena.

The Viper players on the other side were frightened by so many people. Most of them have been in the Development League all the year round, and the attendance rate is only 1000 people at most. I didn't expect that they were all full tonight.

Zhou Qi, he will serve as the starting center of the Viper. Lin Feng met him face to face during the warm-up in the competition circle.

He didn't seem to be very talkative, and Zhou Qi seemed a little surprised that an "American player" he didn't know took the initiative to say hello to him.

The games watched by young people are always full of energy, and they shouted "MVP" on the spot!
There is no doubt that this is for Lin Feng.

There were also cheers when Howard entered the court. Howard once again wore the "Lakers" jersey, which may not be a good feeling.

There is no doubt that Howard has already let go of his figure from playing without the ball to accepting the Lakers' non-guaranteed contract, showing another him to the world.

This can also be seen in the training in the morning. Howard was very humble and actively moved to cover Lin Feng. These are all great.

I believe tonight will be a wonderful game!
Ursula was still sitting on the sidelines, and the relationship between her and Lin Feng heated up rapidly, to the point where they couldn't be separated for a second.

With this love, Lin Feng felt that his hands were overheated, and he wanted to kill the poisonous snake on the opposite side with his own hands.

For Howard's sake, almost all of the Lakers coaching staff was dispatched to inspect their newly signed players.

The Lakers were not idle either. Lao Zhan bought more than a dozen positions in the first row, and the whole team was present, giving enough respect to Lin Feng and Howard.

Howard's humility earned him trust, and just like at Staples, team executives took time out of their busy schedules to watch tonight's D-League game.

The Viper players were dumbfounded. They didn't expect such a scene. Their home team, the Houston Rockets, was only the general manager.

Also because of the away game, the Rockets have already flown to Atlanta to prepare for tomorrow's game with the Eagles.

It is said that Zhou Qi has played well in the Development League recently, averaging 18 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks per game. The general manager of the Rockets came to the scene to inspect him and see if he can be called back to the home team to help the Rockets stabilize the basket.

There was no opening show and player introduction, which was a bit deserted in comparison, but the home fans quickly made the game lively.

The South Bay team sent an NBA lineup like Lin Feng, Howard, and Jonathan, plus an old fritter like Marco Jones, which is full of quality.

The starting players on the Viper's side are almost the "elevators" of the Rockets. When the home team is short of major generals, they are called back to play a few games. When there is no chance, they wait in the Development League and wait for an opportunity.

In addition to Zhou Qi, the Viper team also included Payton Jr., the son of NBA legend Gary Payton.

Born in 1992, Payton Jr. obviously did not inherit his father's excellent basketball genes. After losing the draft in 2016, he played for the Vipers. He once scored 51 points in a single game.

During this period, he briefly joined the Bucks, Lakers and Trail Blazers, but they were all waived soon, returned to the Vipers in a circle, and continued to play in the Development League.

Speaking of Payton Jr.'s trip to the Lakers, he was wearing exactly the 23 points of Lao Zhan today. He once won a personal NBA record of 25+12 in a single game with the Lakers.

At that time, Hart Kuzma, Yingge Pope and others were all in the team, and they had a short cooperation with Payton Jr. for more than half a season.

Before the game, they talked and laughed with Payton Jr., and the atmosphere was very good.

Originally the biggest name in the Viper formation was Isaiah Hartenstein, but he was called up by the Rockets to play in Atlanta tonight.

One and a half months ago, the Rockets recalled Danuel House of the Vipers to the team and signed a contract with him, officially starting his NBA career.

Just the day before Lin Feng's soul wear, he clearly remembered that House signed a three-year $3 million contract with the Rockets and successfully transformed.

The game will start immediately, Zhou Qi and Howard are standing in the middle circle.

Compared with the strong muscles of Warcraft, Zhou Qi's body looks a bit thin.But Zhou Qi's arms are very long, with a wingspan of 233 centimeters, 8 centimeters longer than Howard on the opposite side!

After all, Howard is the league's No. [-] center who has experienced many battles. The first ball still allowed him to easily dial back to the Lakers' backcourt.

Jones received the ball to organize the first attack, and the conflict between him and Lin Feng still exists.

Lin Feng was too lazy to talk to this guy, but he still focused on the game on the field.The two faced each other during training, and Jones was naturally beaten by Lin Feng. He was so abused that he couldn't speak, and he was powerless to fight back.

Jones didn't intend to pass the ball, so Lin Feng had to go to the other side and wait for the opportunity.

Howard worked hard after jumping the ball and took the initiative to screen without the ball. Jones looked like the core of the team and rushed to the basket alone with the ball, but Zhou Qi's long arms gave him a good meal.

Stare at the big hat!

Jones fell to the ground with a scream, and no one paid attention.

Viper guard Payton Jr. counterattacked with the ball. He faced Lin Feng who returned to the defense early.

Perhaps because of fear, Payton Jr. did not choose to be strong, but dribbled the ball on the right side of the arc and waited for his teammates.

From the beginning of the game, the two sides played very hard. Perhaps because the audience was full, the players in the Development League are eager to go to the bigger stage of the NBA one day. Therefore, in a situation like this tonight, it is necessary to show [-]% of the energy. Excited.

Because if Lin Feng and Howard are suppressed, then there is a possibility of entering the NBA team's sight.

The Viper players followed, and the Lakers also returned to defense.Howard and Zhou Qi are stuck in the basket, and it can be seen that the 23-year-old big devil is not afraid of the oppression brought by Warcraft.

This made Lin Feng feel relieved. Entering 2019, the Men's Basketball World Cup will start at the end of August. It seems that he is getting farther and farther away from the Chinese team. I hope to see this guy lead the men's basketball team to achieve good results.

Little Payton lobbed the ball high, and Lin Feng almost reached the basketball when he took off from the spot, and there was a burst of regret in the audience.

Through this jump, Lin Feng didn't feel any pain in his back. It seems that his shoulder injury has almost healed, and the rest is to find the feeling of the game.

At the basket, Zhou Qi held the ball with his back against Howard, and made a hard top twice without success.Howard pressed hard every step of the way. Even with a weight loss of 20 catties, Warcraft still felt full of power.

Zhou Qi, who was holding the ball, suddenly turned around and squeezed into the basket with his footsteps, but Howard had won DPOY for three consecutive years after all, and his rich defensive experience allowed him to be sure of Zhou Qi's footsteps.

Lin Feng tried to enter the inside double-team. He knew that Zhou Qi's vision was average, and the two-man defense at the basket could force him to make mistakes.

Under the double-teaming of him and Howard, Zhou Qi forced a layup and bounced out of the frame, hastily ending the first attack of the Vipers.
