The older superstars of the NBA

On the court, the Santa Cruz Warriors were attacking. Guard Eddie Jones held the ball for half the court. Facing the defense of the South Bay Lakers, he singled the ball to the basket and was double-teamed by two opposing players. Remember that the throw was scored smoothly.

Swish.

The ball is in.

The fans on the sidelines continued to applaud.

Eddie Jones, who scored the goal, was also very proud. He kept patting his chest, his face full of arrogance.It seems that at this moment he is not a player in the development league, but a superstar of a certain nba team.

In fact, he performed well after scoring consecutively, and he is indeed the core defender of the Santa Cruz Warriors.

After scoring a goal, he always looked at the sidelines with provocative eyes from time to time, but it was not the bench of the South Bay Lakers, but the bench of the Santa Cruz Warriors.

Eddie Jones and Zhao Feiyang looked at each other.

The former looked arrogant, as if he didn't take the latter seriously; the latter was very calm, showing no emotion at all, as if he didn't care at all.

At this time, the game has progressed to the second quarter, but Zhao Feiyang has never appeared, and he has been sitting on the bench to watch the game.

During the break in the first quarter, he once asked the team coach Michael Waters, and the other party gave him a very indifferent answer.

"You are not in our team plan, Eddie is the defender that the team needs to develop...But don't worry, I will give you playing time..."

The indifference of head coach Michael Waters made Zhao Feiyang dislike the environment here even more.

Originally he didn't belong here, but now he was forced to come here, and the other party didn't even give him the most basic respect.

Of course, he is very clear that the other party, as the head coach of the Development League, also has performance standards.Therefore, he did not make any irrational actions, but just sat quietly on the bench to recuperate.

The game on the field continued.

The gap between the South Bay Lakers and the Santa Cruz Warriors is not big, and the scores of the two sides have been biting.

The style on the court is also different from the NBA. The players cooperate very little. Most of the time they choose to attack by themselves. There are not many things like sharing the ball and assisting teammates in this arena.

You can't blame the players for being selfish, it's mainly because the Development League is too cruel, and only data and personal performance are valued here.

beep.

The sound of the timer stopping sounds.

The first half is over.

Eddie Jones and his teammates came off the court.

Originally, there were many chairs on the bench, and Eddie Jones could choose to sit elsewhere, but he didn't, so he squeezed beside Zhao Feiyang.

Eddie Jones sipped his sports drink while wiping off his sweat with a towel.

"How does it feel to be in the D-League?"

At first Zhao Feiyang thought that Eddie Jones was talking to someone else, but he looked around and confirmed that the other party was talking to him before he responded.

"not so good."

"Actually, it's normal...Many people just lack opportunities. You are luckier than people like me. You have more opportunities and your luck is better...."

When the other party said this, Zhao Feiyang heard that something was wrong.

"You mean... you think you're not lucky enough?"

Eddie Jones didn't give a definite response, but just smiled self-deprecatingly, "I've watched your game...Actually, sometimes I envy you, if I'm also an Asian player, There will definitely be more opportunities for me..."

"Unfortunately I'm not... so no one will give me more opportunities because of the color of my skin, they won't sign me because of the color of my skin, they won't support me because of the commercial market behind me.. …”

Hearing this, it was Zhao Feiyang's turn to smile.

He sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"If you're in China... Maybe you can't become a professional player now, and you don't even know how to play basketball..."

"Actually, I really want to ask, have you ever thought about the possibility that maybe your own ability is not enough? Luck is of course very important, but in front of absolute strength, luck only occupies a small part of the factor... …”

After Zhao Feiyang finished speaking, Eddie Jones' complexion suddenly became very ugly. He seemed to be overwhelmed by these words!

However, he did not quarrel with Zhao Feiyang.

"I played in the development league for three years, I worked harder than anyone, my talent is no worse than anyone, I just lack more opportunities...Of course, I know that the winner is king, Whoever wins can say whatever he wants, but I don't agree with it...."

After talking about this point, Zhao Feiyang did not make any further rebuttals.

In any process of chasing ideals, efforts are negligible, because everyone can do it.It is still determined by talent that really determines whether the ideal is realized.

This is a cruel reality, and it hurts people, but it also exists objectively.

The halftime break is over soon.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Zhao Feiyang finally got the chance to play, and the head coach Michael Waters waved to him, indicating that he was ready to play.

Eddie Jones, who played for more than a quarter, took a break temporarily.

"let's go!"

"Let me see your skills... see if you can verify that I am wrong..."

"Hope you're the first yellow player to make me change my mind...."

Eddie Jones said to Zhao Feiyang.

Zhao Feiyang didn't say much, just glanced at him, then took off his jersey and warmed up briefly, and went straight to the field.

The third quarter begins.

As soon as Zhao Feiyang came on the field, the fans in the arena felt as if they had been beaten to death. Countless people stood up and cheered, and the atmosphere of the entire arena became enthusiastic in an instant.

Eddie Jones, who was sitting on the bench, looked a little jealous at this scene, but he couldn't do anything.

On the field.

South Bay Lakers serve.

As soon as the ball was released, the defender of the South Bay Lakers rushed across the half court with the ball.The opponent tried to break into the basket on a fast break, but he was blocked by the Santa Cruz Warriors before entering the two divisions.

The opponent's defender was afraid of making a mistake and gave up the ball at the critical moment. However, at the moment of the shot, a figure suddenly rushed out from the halfway.

Snapped.

Zhao Feiyang had already anticipated the opponent's passing action, and directly intercepted the pass halfway.

After stealing the ball, he sprinted towards the half court with the ball.

The defenders of the South Bay Lakers tried to catch up with Zhao Feiyang, but in the blink of an eye, Zhao Feiyang's speed suddenly soared, like a bolt of lightning, he quickly threw off the people behind him and rushed to the half court.

boom.

He dunked with both hands and jumped up to send the ball into the basket.

By the time their feet hit the ground, the defensive players of the South Bay Lakers were long overdue.

Such a fast speed also surprised the fans on the sidelines.

I have seen Zhao Feiyang's performance on TV before, but it is not as powerful as the impact brought by the scene.Even Eddie Jones stood up in shock and stared blankly at this scene for a long time.

"No!"

"It's impossible....I've never seen such a quick yellow player...."

After a wave of surprising performance at the beginning, Zhao Feiyang continued to start his own scoring mode.

Although there is no cooperation here, there is no restriction of the NBA team. I don't have to pay attention to other people at all, and it is enough to just seize the opportunity to score!

Zhao Feiyang, who let go of his hands and feet, was almost like hanging out, and the players of the South Bay Lakers gradually began to doubt their own lives.

On the field.

The Santa Cruz Warriors attack.

Zhao Feiyang dribbled the ball, and as soon as he passed the center line, the defender of the South Bay Lakers came up to mark him.

The two met each other, and Zhao Feiyang easily passed the opponent with a feint, came to the left side of the basket, and he made another layup to avoid the defensive player in front of him.

boom.

After entering the basket, Zhao Feiyang made a throw, and the basketball fell into the basket easily.

After more than a minute, the ball fell into his hands again. This time he fast-breaked halftime, facing the double-teaming of two development league players, Zhao Feiyang forced a shot from the opponent's three-point line .

Swish.

A difficult three-pointer hit the net against the opponent's defense.

The whole audience exclaimed.

Zhao Feiyang's "cut melons and vegetables" style of play drove countless fans into a frenzy, and also made Eddie Jones sitting on the sidelines even more confused.

Also because of Zhao Feiyang's existence, the situation that had been stalemate for two quarters began to change in the third quarter.The Santa Cruz Warriors gradually widened the point gap, and Zhao Feiyang scored more and more points.

After the end of the third quarter, Zhao Feiyang continued to appear in the fourth quarter.

Coach Michael Waters gave Zhao Feiyang more time.

So, in the rest of the time, Zhao Feiyang became a superstar on the court.Whether it's singles or breaking through double-teams, fast breaks or long-range shots, he can complete them smoothly.

The basket seemed as wide as the sea in front of him.

When the game drew to a close, his score also came to 47 points.

At this time, the fans on the scene were completely crazy. They stood in the stands and screamed. Every time Zhao Feiyang took the ball, they would get excited.

There are 1 minute and 04 seconds left in the game.

The Santa Cruz Warriors attack.

Originally, a Warriors player was holding the ball, but the fans were too excited and kept yelling at that player, asking him to give the ball to Zhao Feiyang.

"Idiot, pass the ball!"

"Give the ball to Zhao!"

"We're going to see him perform...."

The Warriors player couldn't bear the pressure, so he could only give the ball to Zhao Feiyang.

After halftime, Zhao Feiyang stood at the top of the arc. Seeing that the game time on the field was getting less and less, Zhao Feiyang played singles with the ball in his hands.

Two opposing players came up to interfere with him, one left and one right trying to block his attacking space.Zhao Feiyang was not in a hurry, and after observing the situation on the field, he suddenly backed away and opened a distance.

The player on the left rushed towards him, and Zhao Feiyang slammed the opponent with a "Bai Buddha". pull away.

Swish.

A crisp and clean ultra-long three-pointer fell steadily into the basket.

The audience was sensational.

Zhao Feiyang also scored 50 points.

At this time, the score between the South Bay Lakers and the Santa Cruz Warriors has been tied 80 to 113.

The huge gap of 33 points made it impossible for the South Bay Lakers to turn defeat into victory.
