Chapter 278 Post-war
Chinese journalists have been looking forward to a real "Chinese derby" for a long time, but the previous confrontations can only stay on paper, and none of them has ever had anything to do with the fierceness.
No matter who confronts whom, most of them are three or five minutes, and there can be more than ten minutes, and most of the confrontations are still in garbage time. The gold content of the game can be imagined, and it is meaningless.
The reports about those competitions also make reporters rack their brains to write colorful articles, but as long as they have seen the scene, they can know that it's just their own fun.
No one wants to write about the kind of derby that has no more than three or five confrontations, but the reality is that fans and newspapers need to know this information. If you don't want to write, you have to complete this task.
However, everything before came to a complete end on this night in February. The Rockets met the Celtics, a real Chinese derby, which was truly displayed in front of these reporters.
YAO played 45 minutes, 8 out of 16 shots, 11 out of 16 free throws, scored 27 points, two front-court rebounds and six backcourt rebounds, plus three assists and three blocks. This strong data is completely beyond his average.
Especially in the last quarter of the game, YAO, who was originally an offensive starting point, grabbed two front-court rebounds in a row on the inside line, and also caused two fouls between Chen Feng and Perkins under the basket.
Without the free throws after these two fouls, it is estimated that the final trend of the game is still difficult to say, because Chen Feng left the field, which created the Rockets' lead, but the lead is only one point.
Forty-eight minutes of high-intensity confrontation, only 77:76 is a very low score, but no one will deny that it is a fierce game. After the whole game, three people from each side left the field because of six full crimes.
The busiest part of the whole game may be the referee. They keep blowing whistles. It is not that they want the game to become fragmented, but the hot confrontation on the field, which makes them have to interrupt the process.
Chen Feng's roar at McGrady can be regarded as a complete push to the game into a strong confrontation between the two sides. Van Gundy is already a tough head coach, while Rivers is letting Chen Feng's fierce performance.
What is the boy going to do? From the beginning of Chen Feng's trouble, Rivers has understood how difficult it is for the Rockets to play at home. Of course, this low-key fat man is very clear, so it is not impossible for Chen Feng to play a little evil.
Therefore, the rhythm of the whole game began to tilt towards the frequent contact of the body. Chen Feng naturally likes such a chaotic battle mode. He does not intend to let the Rockets play a position battle, which is the result he needs most.
According to the literacy of running tactics, the foundation of the Celtics must be a little weak, especially in terms of tactical execution. Chen Feng and others are used to being wild, and the regular ones are not these kids.
So it's a little messy. There are no rules to stir up the scene. That is, the main reason why Chen Feng wants to solidify the atmosphere on the field. The Celtics who let go can still make many people feel headaches.
Even the Rockets fans can feel that after that conflict, although the Celtics are still slightly behind in the score, the momentum of the whole game has got rid of the embarrassment that was previously suppressed by the Rockets.
In particular, the score of the inside line began to increase. Although Chen Feng did suffer a lot of losses in the face of YAO in terms of height, this boy definitely has a slippery strength from the street. It is not easy to play on the front. He will fight with you in all kinds of guerrilla battles. With Rondo passing the ball to him on the periphery, Chen Feng puts his own attack, and it is each A sprint from an angle, and sometimes this guy can even run all the way to the outside of the three-point line on the offensive end and wait for the opportunity to cut in, and Rondo's pass is to have room for Chen Feng to start, which is completely a pure running style of running.
Chen Feng had no choice but to do so. YAO's jumping ability is really average, but this guy's height is there. Even if he doesn't jump, he can block it. The two times when Jefferson was fanned, Chen Feng didn't see it, and his first attack was almost blocked, so Chen Feng knew that he must You have to be careful, otherwise he will definitely follow in Jefferson's footsteps and let this fellow villager enjoy himself a few big hot pots.
The Celtics do not have an absolute advantage in the height of the inside line, so Rivers acquiesced in letting Chen Feng play flexibly and actively. Even if he loses the opportunity to grab the front court rebounds, it doesn't matter. The whole team's attack starts from near the three-point line, which is completely a charge posture, even grabbing rebounds is like This.
This is the mobility. Rivers knows that he will fight hard under the basket. In the face of such a guy who is extremely BUG, he must not be able to take any advantage. It's better to play to the limit. Let the group of wild kids on the field run happily, sprint, and launch a basket in the basketball of the Rockets. Wave attack!
Rivers is really desperate. Previously, the Celtics dared to fight the inside line, relying on the advantage of the basket at both ends of the attack and defense. They are strong, and there is confrontation. Now they throw away the confrontation, that is, they fight for flexibility. This is very risky, but with Chen Feng on the court, Rivers also dares to let go and let the boy decide for himself what to do. Hit.
Chen Feng does have this bold momentum. In the face of such a big man as YAO, he dares to fight. This can no longer be described by courage. This guy is obviously not afraid of death!
In the first quarter, the Rockets only led by two points, because the Celtics' frequent impact after adjustment disrupted their rhythm, making the whole scene start to become sticky and chaotic.
As for the middle of the second quarter, Chen Feng began to attack near the three-second zone in a row. Even in the face of the blockade of YAO, he dared to stand hard, but he was not careless, but when he hit, his super bouncing ability was cooperating with the exaggerated arm stretch, and he crossed Y twice in a row. AO Ming's frontal block smashed the basketball into the basket fiercely, which was such two fierce attacks, which made the whole Celtics' blood boil and completed the whole process from falling behind to overtaking.
At the end of the second quarter, the score had become a three-point lead for the Celtics, and in the rebounding competition, these guys relied on that fierce rush, surpassing the Rockets by ten!
This tough game style solidified the atmosphere in the whole Toyota center. Even the fans who were just shouting unconsciously closed their mouths and began to watch every confrontation of the game with their fists.
In fact, not only the fans are not the same, but also the media. The reporters who were betting that Chen Feng did nothing just now have a little plan to slap their mouths.
But now no one cares about their mood. Xie Miaomiao is almost absorbed in the game. This fierce confrontation has made her almost forget what her job is, and she is completely devoted to this strong collision, especially when Chen Feng and YAO are on the top. Wait, these Chinese reporters grabbed the camera in their hands for fear of missing any wonderful shot.
"I knew that your boy would not be beaten down so easily!" Xie Miaomiao looked at Chen Feng's tough charge and clenched his little fist. She couldn't say how proud he was, but there was definitely a kind of pleasure after the reversal. She had known that if Chen Feng could be held down by the Rockets like this, he would not be a wild boy. It is.
The fierce confrontation on the court exceeded that of any previous home court of the Rockets. They were just passively charging against the Celtics. It was not that they didn't want to defend, but that the guys didn't play cards at all.
But you have to say that Van Gundy is definitely determined enough. When he saw such a situation on the field, he did not make tactical adjustments, but removed Juwan Howard from the field and replaced him with an equally wild guy, the fat man named Bunch Wells, and in Batty. In the case of too many fouls, he also threw Hayes to Pierce' side. This posture was completely ready to fight to the end. After Chen Feng rushed to YAO Ming twice in a row, the little giant fouled three times and rested.
But Mutombo can still carry Chen Feng on the court. Although the old guy doesn't know how old he is, his experience on the defensive end is absolutely hot. As soon as he comes on the court, he pressed Perkins's basket attack on the rebound, and then this is very unkind for the African uncle to hit Erpang. Shaking his fingers, the complacency once again made the Toyota Center Arena start to cheer for the old man.
But Uncle Mutombo still underestimated Chen Feng's counterattack strength. This guy found this game for Perkins in a minute. As soon as the Rockets' counterattack reached the basket, Mutombo held the ball to the outside to try to pull the defensive force under the empty basket. Chen Feng really gave him face and followed him out. As a result, the uncle's pass was just empty. In Alsmall's hand, as soon as the basket of the street ball king took off in the air, he was slapped by Chen Feng.
It really flew out. Alstom's whole body was fanned out of the bottom line with the basketball in the air, and fell into the reporters without a word. The evil guy didn't care how embarrassed the street ball king was, but turned around and gently shook his hand at Uncle Mutombo. Pointing.
And when the referee didn't pay attention, he put his index finger on his lips and demonstrated to the Rockets fans in the stands, but his move shocked Rivers on the sidelines.
The tough, unreasonable and barbaric style of play, but it's such a young guy who played a fierce game on the Houston Rockets' territory. It is estimated that no Rockets fan can erase what this boy left in his mind. That's impressive, including which media.
25 points, 11 rebounds, 4 blocks, 3 assists, which is Chen Feng's answer. If it weren't for six full leaves with the last two minutes left in the fourth quarter, no one would have known whether this guy would help the Celtics defend the final victory. However, no one would doubt this boy. Destructive power.
Just like the sentence Xie Miaomiao wrote in her column after the game, "This is a real Chinese derby." I'm afraid no one will doubt the weight of this sentence at the end of the game...
And those guys who bet that YAO will win before the game may be glad that Chen Feng's team lost in the end. Otherwise, why did their faces really turn red?
A Chinese derby may make more people begin to understand that the value of the wild boy may be more explosive than they expected...
