"Yeah, that makes sense."
Lin Feng nodded slightly. The Zen Master is a Zen Master after all. His basketball philosophy is worth learning from.
"Lin! Just do as the Zen Master said. If you really get out of position, I'll help you defend in the paint."
Kwame Brown said.
Lin Feng looked at him. Although this guy had always been criticized as the biggest bust No. 1 pick in Jordan's history, his defense and pick-and-roll were still worthy of recognition.
The offense was sluggish, but the defense and pick-and-roll were very active.
"OK, let's fight like this. We will win easily. Why would a mere Trail Blazer team fight with us?"
Odom had become inflated, and no wonder he was so arrogant. After all, the Trail Blazers were ranked last in the Western Conference last season, a typical easy opponent.
After the timeout, Roy continued his attack.
As a rookie player, he was not at all nervous. He fought for every ball and put in every effort for every possession.
Terry Porter was very satisfied with Roy's performance. After graduating from college and entering the NBA, he was much more mature than some high school players.
Randolph also actively participated in the offense, and his positioning tended to be near the elbows and free-throw line.
Excellent shooting ability, soft touch, and stable performance allowed Randolph to be active inside and outside.
Roy followed Terry Porter's instructions and continued to attack the basket.
There was no chance of a breakthrough, so he lobbed the ball out and passed it back to Randolph near the elbow.
Randolph took the ball and shot, and most of his shots went in.
Lin Feng was guarding Roy, but the kid was getting excited and kept breaking through and causing damage.
If there was a chance, he would go for it himself. If there was no chance, he would pass the ball back to Randolph, who was roaming near the free-throw line.
The person defending Randolph was Brian Cook. This guy had poor defensive skills and often lost his man.
There was no other way; Odom was needed to help him defend.
The Trail Blazers fought back under this style of play. Before the timeout, the Lakers were leading them by ten points, but now they were only leading by six points.
At the Rose Garden Arena, more than 20,000 fans watched as Roy led the Trail Blazers' offense to become more active, and they all shouted "MVP."
Lin Feng found it funny that the MVP could only belong to him and Kobe.
Wasn't it a bit of an overestimation to call Roy the MVP now?
In this possession, Lin Feng continued to defend Roy alone. He remembered the Zen Master's words and deliberately gave Roy some space to break through.
Roy was fooled and realized that Lin Feng was not guarding him so closely. He found the right opportunity and rushed past him in one step.
"Roy! My god, he's so fast. It seems like Lin can't defend Roy alone?"
Commentator Wolf Joe immediately admired Roy. After the Lakers' first four games, no guard had been able to get past Lin Feng in one step, but Roy did it.
Of course, Wolf Joe didn't know that this was a loophole that Lin Feng deliberately left for Roy and let him break through.
Harold Gordon also sighed, "Roy's explosive speed is very fierce. Lin, who is good at jumping and running, was actually passed by him in one step!"
"Is Roy going to dunk? Kwame Brown comes to help defend."
"Roy ignored this guy and made a one-handed slam dunk. This shot will definitely be one of the top five plays tomorrow!"
"No, wait..."
Wolf Joe and Harold Gordon were talking excitedly when they suddenly caught sight of a figure rushing out from Roy's flank.
This figure was extremely fast. Roy's breakthrough was very fast just now, but compared with this figure, he was nothing.
To be honest, Kwame Brown's help defense was a beat late. Roy had already jumped up to dunk, but Brown was still in a daze.
The figure that rushed out from the flank had very precise timing.
When Roy was about to slam dunk with one hand, this man slapped him hard and used his crazy blocking skill to hit the basketball in Roy's hand.
"Bang!"
What a deafening loud bang! Roy never expected that Lin Feng, whom he had passed in one step, would actually come out from the flank.
He was much faster than him and had a higher bounce. As soon as Roy went for a one-handed slam dunk, Lin Feng's big slap arrived.
In front of thousands of fans, he was given a big block!
"Oh my god, where did Lin come from? He blocked a big shot on Roy. Was there a foul on this shot?"
"The referee didn't blow the whistle. It was a clean block. There was no foul!"
The two commentators were stunned.
Roy's speed and jumping ability were already strong enough, but compared with Lin Feng, there was a world of difference.
With a slap, the basketball flew into the air. Lin Feng jumped again and steadily caught the flying basketball.
The referee's whistle did not sound, and Lin Feng rushed to the Trail Blazers' side of the court in one go.
Just like before, Kobe saw Lin Feng successfully defend the ball and joined in the offense.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Feng and Kobe had a better and better understanding of each other. Seeing Kobe quickly follow up and launch a fast break, he immediately passed the ball to Kobe.
Otero and LaFrentz fought hard to get back on defense, creating a two-on-two situation on the court.
"Link!"
The fans in the stadium shouted; after all, there were also Lakers fans in Portland.
Lin Feng and Kobe understood each other, and during training, the two often connected with each other, just like the connection between James and Wade in their previous lives.
In a two-on-two situation, Lin Feng and Kobe were really not afraid of Otero and LaFrentz.
Lin Feng dribbled the ball to Kobe, who continued to follow up and reached the penalty area.
Kobe threw the ball high up, and Lin Feng jumped up bravely, with his head almost hitting the basket. He firmly caught Kobe's high toss and made a slam dunk!
"Oh oh oh! Baby, a wonderful alley-oop! This time it's Kobe connecting with A. Lin. The Lin-Kobe connection we are familiar with is here again!"
"Oh my god, Lin's beautiful block, Kobe's beautiful alley-oop, the Lin-Kobe connection is the most invincible in the league today!"
The two commentators shouted at the top of their lungs, and the atmosphere was very passionate.
The Rose Garden Arena was filled with cheers.
Several cheerleaders on the sidelines began to sway their sexy waists, and the connection between Kobe and Lin Feng was really cool to watch.
"Lin! You just about flattened the rim!"
Kobe looked at Lin Feng's spring-like jump, his head almost hitting the basket.
"Kobe, you know how I bounce." Lin Feng smiled.
"Shit, it seems that I am old and can't compare with young people like you."
Kobe smiled faintly, revealing his white teeth.
The Zen Master nodded secretly while sitting on the sidelines. Lin Feng's block just now deserved a perfect score.
Roy shook his head helplessly. He really couldn't understand. After he had passed Lin Feng, why could Lin Feng still catch up with him with his super-fast speed and block his shot?
"Pass the ball, pass the ball, pass the ball more! Shit, what kind of ball are you guys playing?"
Terry Porter was going crazy again. In one game, the Lakers had seized the opportunity to launch several fast breaks. How could they continue like this?
Roy was speechless for a moment when facing the angry Terry Porter.
When skills meet extraordinary talent, he had no choice but to succumb.
In Roy's opinion, Lin Feng was the kind of player with absolute talent!
