NBA bench saves national team

evening.

Ford Center.

The Thunder's first playoff game is less than two hours away.

The entire arena is already crowded with people.

Even if the average ticket price has doubled several times, it is still hard to find a ticket.

no doubt.

The Thunder owner is going to make a lot of money in this series.

When he saw the final accumulated amount of tickets for the first game, he couldn't help but gasped in surprise.

This amount is enough to cover the income from last year's series.

Qin Feng is indeed a cash cow!

Unfortunately, this cash cow will only last for another year.

The owner of the Thunder team sitting in the VIP room sighed and took a sip of red wine, feeling very comfortable.

.......

The pre-match interview session.

Thunder team interview room.

"Qin, in the past two days, many basketball experts have analyzed that the Grizzlies' twin towers may pose a certain threat to the Thunder. What do you think of this?"

a reporter asked.

"They were right in their analysis, but don't analyze it next time, it's useless."

"I can only say that even if the Grizzlies' twin towers will pose a threat to us, our inside strength is stronger than the Grizzlies'."

Qin Feng said calmly.

???

The reporters were a little confused.

Where does this confidence come from?

Chandler is injured, is there anyone else available in the penalty area for the Thunder?

Count on Perkins?

Everyone laughed lightly, thinking that Qin Feng was bluffing, so they thought it was a joke.

"Brooks, are you going to make adjustments in this series against the Grizzlies?"

a reporter asked.

"Of course! I have made adjustments. Everyone knows that our insider is injured, but I want to say that this does not prevent us from sweeping the opponent 4:0."

Brooks said confidently.

???

The reporters gasped.

Could it be that Brooks was also infected by Qin Feng and became blindly confident?

Or does the Thunder really have a secret weapon that the outside world doesn't know about?

Should not be!

Players are those players, and their strength is also on the surface.

Perhaps Brooks' self-confidence comes from the two superstars Qin Feng and Durant?

Everyone speculated one after another, and their curiosity was completely aroused.

"Brooks, will you put the team's advantage on the outside and increase the shots from the outside to deal with the Grizzlies?"

A reporter couldn't help asking.

"No! On the contrary, our strategy for this round of the series is to focus on the restricted area!"

Brooks said, eyes sparkling with excitement.

Thinking about Qin Feng's performance in the short 5-minute lineup drill in the morning, it's exciting!

???

The reporters were stunned again, feeling that the interview could not go on.

He doesn't know whether it's a bluff or a bluff, and he always says things that are contrary to the facts, the credibility is very low!

Although sometimes some fog bombs are indeed released during pre-match interviews.

But the Thunder is no longer using a fog bomb, but a super fog bomb, I can't understand it at all!

A few more questions were asked, and the reporters hurriedly ended their pre-match interviews.

Let everything be revealed in the race!

Let's see what kind of arrangements the Thunder have made to make the head coach and the two superstars so confident.

The Grizzlies interview room.

"Hollins (head coach), where do you think the team's strengths are in this series?"

a reporter asked.

"There is no doubt that it is the penalty area. We have two top inside players. This is our core, and the Thunder's penalty area is very weak."

"I have the confidence to blow up the Thunder in the paint."

Hollins said confidently.

"So do you think the team has the potential to cause trouble for the Thunder?"

a reporter asked.

"Of course! There is no doubt that it is still a big problem! I think the Thunder must be very anxious now. How to prevent our inside players from performing will be their biggest headache."

Hollins continued, choosing to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Focus on highlighting the team's strengths rather than talking about the team's weaknesses.

Saying this can increase the confidence of the players.

After all, there is a huge gap in strength between the two teams, which is an indisputable fact.

"Randolph, what do you think of this series?"

a reporter asked.

"No matter what, I'm going to blow the Thunder's paint."

Randolph said swearingly, as if he was an angry youth, always keeping angry.

The interview is over.

The two teams came to the court to start the pre-match warm-up.

The scene was extremely noisy.

The atmosphere of the playoffs made the fans even more fanatical.

Warm up will be over soon.

beep.

A whistle sounded.

The starters of both sides came on stage.

The Thunder starting lineup is: Qin Feng, Ibaka, Durant, Redick, Westbrook.

Grizzlies starting lineup: Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol, Sam Young, Tony Allen, Mike Conley.

???

The entire audience was dumbfounded.

Thunder's starting lineup is a bit outrageous!

Let Qin Feng, a shooting guard, play center, isn't that tantamount to accepting the ravages of Randolph and Gasol?

There were bursts of exclamations at the scene, with complicated emotions.

The reporters who participated in the pre-match interviews were also stunned.

Is this the adjustment Brooks was talking about?

This is the source of their confidence and confidence, just let Qin Feng play the center forward?

Now they can be sure that this is definitely a sham.

Or Qin Feng is just a fake starting center, and he will not play the center position for more than half a quarter.

"Oh? What's the situation? Qin Feng is the starting center forward? This kind of adjustment is really rare!"

"I remember that Qin Feng did make a guest appearance as a center forward, but in such a high-intensity game like the playoffs, he was still facing the famous black and white bears. I wonder if Qin Feng can hold on!"

The commentator Mike Breen said with some concern that he was also puzzled by Brooks' arrangement.

"Even if Qin Feng is an almighty superstar, he can't use it like this! If you use your own advantages to confront the advantages of the Grizzlies, then this will become a disadvantage!"

"After all, playing center will limit Qin Feng's performance, which can be said to be self-defeating."

Another commentator, Smith, said that he was also very puzzled.

Perhaps only after the game really started, can we know the intention of Brooks' arrangement, and also know the effect of Qin Feng's playing center forward.

The answer will be revealed soon.

on the field.

Players from both sides take their positions.

Randolph looked at Qin Feng, who was half a head shorter than himself, with disdain on his face.

"Man, it's not a wise choice for you to play center. Maybe you will win my respect as a shooting guard, but when you come to the penalty area, this is my territory. No matter how good you are, you have to lie down obediently."

Randolph said seriously, with strong confidence in his tone.

"After this game is over, I will return this sentence to you intact."

Qin Feng grinned and didn't talk too much with ignorant people.

The referee's eyes stopped the conversation between the two, and then threw the basketball high.

Randolph has a height advantage.

Qin Feng is explosive.

The two touched the basketball almost simultaneously in the air.

then.

The whole audience saw in astonishment that Qin Feng slapped the basketball abruptly with force, and even Randolph couldn't bear the force, his arms became bent! !
