NBA: Started as Sakuragi Hanamichi

Chapter 165 The Coquettish Old Fish
"Omega, this Asian boy, is he the god Zeus?"

In the Quicken Loans Arena, some fans shouted loudly.

Watching basketball games in the past, the athlete they most admired was James.

Because of James' explosive dunks, they often feast their eyes.

However, tonight, Lin Feng appeared in the Quicken Loans Arena, breaking this balance, and the fans suddenly found that Lin Feng's domineering ability was not inferior to James' in terms of dunking skills and violent aesthetics.

Objectively speaking, Lin Feng is 189cm tall and looks much thinner than James, but he can make various extreme dunk moves, which is really pleasing to the eye.

Why was Allen Iverson sought after by countless fans as soon as he entered the league?

The reason is here.

Iverson's height and weight are no different from normal people.

Every time he is chic, every time he dunks, every time he gallops on the court like a jumping elf, he always attracts people's attention.

This is a kind of empathy. A small man of 183cm is galloping in the NBA where the giants are like a forest, and he is still so bad at playing.

Naturally, Allen Iverson is popular, and it makes sense.

His every move is revered and exaggerated by fans.

Now what happened to Allen Iverson happened to Lin Feng again.

Compared with a tall and macho man like LeBron James, Lin Feng is absolutely a 'dwarf'.

Such a small Chinese man can continuously contribute wonderful dunks in one game.

This scene deeply impressed the Cleveland fans.

Although most fans did not cheer for Lin Feng, deep down in their hearts, they will always remember this thin Chinese defender!

"OMG! My God, I will always remember this Chinese guard. He is really good. It is a pleasure to watch him play. I think in the next ten years, this guy named China Lin will be able to compete with LeBron in the NBA!"

"Yes, I think so too. China Lin is really good. Kobe has found a treasure. It is said that China Lin played in the Development League at the beginning. He was in the Los Angeles Defenders. He was a good seed discovered by Kobe and then brought into the NBA."

"OK, I have to say that Kobe has a unique vision and can find such a good seed in the development league. If our Cavaliers reach the finals this year, the final opponent is very likely to be the Los Angeles Lakers."

"Yeah, so I feel quite dangerous. I wonder if LeBron can lead Big Z and Larry Hughes to defeat the mighty Lakers."

"Who knows, let's wait and see. I hope this year's finals will be an epic matchup, which will be exciting."

"..."

Cleveland fans love their hometown team very much.

After all, as a small ball market, he has never won a championship since joining the NBA.

If it wasn't for James' airborne landing in Cleveland in 2003, the fans here would not have dared to hope that one day, their small city could aspire to the pinnacle of the NBA.

The fans in the stands were discussing differently, and the players off the court collided with each other.

With Lin Feng taking off from the free throw line and dunking in one step, the atmosphere in Quicken Loans Arena was pushed to a climax.

James' face was serious. He always had an ominous premonition that he was going to lose to the Lakers tonight?
"West, give me the ball, we want to play dominant, we can't be passively beaten!"

At the critical moment, James stepped forward to save his hometown team.

At present, they are already behind the Lakers. If the Lakers play a small climax, the momentum will increase the score, which will be extremely detrimental to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Delonte West passed the basketball to James, and James dribbled slowly at the top of the arc, looking for opportunities to break through.

Kobe still took the trouble to mark James, oppressive defense, which made James very uncomfortable.

In fact, relatively speaking, James relies a lot on pick-and-rolls when playing.

To be honest, James is not a very good singles super giant, he is more of a team's overall offense.

In terms of singles ability, James is inferior to superstars such as Jordan, Kobe, Anthony, and Durant.

Everyone has their own strengths. James' strength is to control the rhythm of the game. He takes all the ball and uses him as the core to connect the offense of the entire team.

Marshall brought up the pick-and-roll, Kobe was blocked on the weak side, and there was no way to pass. To be honest, the ball was suspected of fouling the pick-and-roll, but the Cavaliers were at home and the referee didn't blow it.

Odom immediately switched defenses with Kobe. Facing James, he stepped steadily and put on a defensive posture to prevent James from easily breaking through.

Seeing this situation, James simply used his plan, held the ball three steps to the basket, reached the position in the paint area, and sent the ball to the basket with an elegant throw on the board.

This ball James used all his housekeeping skills, his body was tilted, and he hit the board at a 45-degree angle, which was very difficult.

No one blamed Odom for his poor defense, because everyone could see that James had a difficult ball, but he still made it to the basket.

"LeBron made a throw at a 45-degree angle. Odom tried his best to interfere. LeBron still scored. The Cavaliers recovered two points and were only three points behind the Lakers."

The score was tight, and half of the game was over, failing to widen the point difference.

The Lakers got the ball, Lao Yu dribbled forward, gave the ball to Kobe, and then ran without the ball.

As soon as Kobe got the ball, the Cavaliers suddenly became nervous.

James was a little tired, his head was covered with sweat, and his headband was wet, so he was absent-minded in defending against Kobe alone this round.

Kobe seized the opportunity and used a fake move to fly.

Lean forward and press into the inside line, realize three threats with the ball, jump for a layup, and West on the right rushes to help defend.

Kobe has quick eyes and quick hands, and he retracted the moment he layup, and accurately gave the old fisher Fisher who was in the open position.

Fisher took the ball off and hit a three-pointer.

In this game, Lao Yu contributed a lot on the offensive end. After the third quarter, he has already scored 13 points.

The Cavaliers are too afraid of Kobe's singles, as long as Kobe holds the ball, they will be extremely nervous.

West was cheated on this ball, leaving the old fish open. Kobe passed the ball decisively and helped the Lakers score a three-pointer.

"Old fish, you must!"

Lin Feng, Lamar Odom and Bynum gestured to Lao Yu with celebratory gestures.

Lao Yu had an evil smile on his face. This guy was very coquettish. Although he was mature and experienced on the court, in private, Lao Yu was a very coquettish bad guy.

He just likes wives, and he is an American version of "Cao Thief".

The wife of the cold Barnes was abducted by Lao Yu. The elder brother's woman dared to touch, and only Lao Yu could do such a thing.

The Lakers, who scored three points, led the Cavaliers by six points.

Larry Hughes responded in time, broke through for a layup, caused Lin Feng to foul, made two free throws, and fell behind by four points.

In the following contest, after a brief adaptation, James made another open three-pointer and still firmly controlled the score.

The Lakers are not easy to bully. Lin Feng and Kobe responded one after another, making consecutive mid-range key shots.

The entire third quarter was extremely intense.

Until the end of this quarter, the point difference between the Cavaliers and the Lakers is still in single digits.

I can't beat you for a while, and you can't beat me too much.

It was such a fierce collision that made the game very exciting and beautiful.

Fans at Quicken Loans Arena cheered loudly.

When the game entered the most critical fourth quarter, both sides were gearing up, waiting to beat each other in the last quarter!
