Chapter 142 When the Opportunity Comes
After Xu Feng came on the field, watching the score of 45 to 65, he took a deep breath.He understands that the current situation is an opportunity for him!
He came on the field as a backup point guard.
At this time, he was receiving a pass from his teammates on the sideline and looked at the huge arena in the NBA. This time the game was played at the home court of the 76ers.
If it weren't for Iverson's retirement ceremony, then with the recent performance of the 76ers, the home arena would definitely not be full of guests.
Xu Feng dribbled forward, looking at the indifferent eyes of the audience, he thought he should do something!
After dribbling for half court, he ignored his teammate's request for the ball, and directly killed him with a full-speed layup.
The Grizzlies players only saw a black shadow at this time, and before they could react, Xu Feng succeeded with a flying slash dunk!
Not only the players of the Grizzlies, but even the players of the 76ers were very surprised.
Some spectators off the field couldn't believe their eyes; some spectators stopped eating popcorn directly, their faces dull; some spectators didn't even know what happened.
The head coach of the Grizzlies found it incredible. He never thought that the 76ers had such a player.
In the next few rounds, Xu Feng seemed to go crazy and scored consecutive goals.
Once the score was caught up.
And the audience off the court gradually began to watch seriously. In the days when Iverson retired, they were particularly interested in this outstanding yellow boy!
But Iverson, who was sitting on the bench, didn't take it seriously, as if everything was within his expectations. After all, this yellow guy was the one who had beaten him single-handedly before.
By the end of the third quarter, Xu Feng had scored 10 points.
Iverson greeted Xu Feng off the field, gave him a high five, and celebrated his wonderful performance.
In fact, the seemingly simple high-five celebration for outsiders has a different meaning for Iverson and Xu Feng.
But if Xu Feng wasn't on the field as a point guard, then he wouldn't have so many possessions and shots.
The score is now 60-70.
The appearance of Xu Feng as a temporary player affects the status of other players. After all, no one wants to be overshadowed by a temporary player.
But Xu Feng's performance did not make the head coach change his opinion too much. After all, the skin color and the status of a temporary player made the head coach decide on Xu Feng early!
After a short break, it came to the fourth quarter of the game. Seeing the score gradually recovered, the head coach immediately replaced all the starters.
Xu Feng was abandoned again.
Sitting on the bench, he couldn't help but sigh that the opportunity was fleeting.
But Iverson on the side said to him earnestly: "Xu! The world is impermanent, you should seize the opportunity when it comes, and when there is no opportunity, you should temper your mentality. In short, you must have confidence and believe in yourself. Dreams will definitely come true!"
After hearing this, Xu Feng nodded repeatedly. How could he not understand these principles?But the reality always makes him extremely tormented.
Obviously talented, but useless!
Although the starting players of the 76ers team on the field were all in one color, compared with the Grizzlies, they were obviously not enough, and they were losing ground.
Only a few minutes after the start of the fourth quarter, the 76ers were beaten to the ground, and the point difference soon came to more than 20 points.
The head coach of the 76ers saw this situation, so he gave up the game and replaced it with all substitutes!
I have to say that the lineup of the 76ers this year is really bad. They just want to get the next No. [-] pick by playing badly.
Since Iverson specifically told the head coach before, he replaced Xu Feng in this rotation.
Before Xu Feng came on the field, the head coach said something to him that he still can't forget, "Boy, go and play as much as you want. Anyway, we are going to lose this game."
After Xu Feng heard this, he smiled evilly and went on stage without looking back.
At this time, the score on the court was 78 to 98, and there were 7 minutes and 28 seconds left in the game.
After catching the ball from the baseline, Xu Feng started his show in that loose jersey.
In addition, the opposite side also replaced the substitute at the same time, so this is an opportunity for him to show himself to the fullest.
And Xu Feng has been waiting for this day, he has been preparing for it.
After coming to the field, Xu Feng hit 3 three-pointers in succession on the offensive end, without missing a shot, and then changed directions to break through and score 2 goals in a row.
On the defensive end, Xu Feng is also strong. When defending the opposing defender, he took advantage of his long arms and broke 2 goals back and forth.
After stealing the ball, Xu Feng turned into a black shadow in an instant, and made a fast break. Not only the opponent, but even Xu Feng's teammates couldn't keep up with him, and he couldn't cooperate with him in the fast break.
And Xu Feng continued to perform his violent dunks in the NBA arena!
The score was once caught up.
At 4 minutes and 15 seconds into the fourth quarter, the two sides battled to 100-106.
Xu Feng had already scored 15 points at this time!
As a temporary player, his performance has surpassed most of the substitute players, even better than some starters.
For the duel between the substitutes, the head coaches of the two sides did not interfere too much.
Under such circumstances, Xu Feng continued to play without any intention of stopping.
At 2 minutes and 08 seconds of the fourth quarter, Xu Feng held the ball at the top of the three-point arc. Facing the defense of the Grizzlies' backup guard, he continued to dribble under the crotch and behind his back.
Inadvertently, Xu Feng suddenly performed an extremely fast crossover!Passed the opposite player.
The audience off the field shouted instantly, and they will never forget this action.
And Iverson, who was sitting on the bench, laughed after seeing it, "This kid! He is much better than before!"
After the goal was scored, the score came to a 106-106 tie!
It can be seen that the feel of the Grizzlies players is declining rapidly. Obviously, they lack control over this kind of tight score scene!
But for Xu Feng, this kind of scene is very familiar.
After he hit another three-pointer, the head coach on the opposite side finally couldn't stand it any longer. He quickly called a timeout and replaced all the starting players.
The score is now 109-106 with 1 minute and 10 seconds left in the game.
Under Iverson's suggestion, the head coach of the 76ers finally replaced all the starters except the point guard.
And the point guard for the 76ers at this time is Xu Feng!
At this time, Conley of the Grizzlies dribbled the ball and directed Gasol and Randolph to support it.
In the end, Gasol scored the goal that stabilized the morale of the army.
109:108.
Xu Feng caught the ball from the baseline and dribbled forward.
The Grizzlies were afraid that Xu Feng would cause another storm, so they directly asked Tony Allen to defend him.
Not to mention, Tony Allen's defense is really not bragging, and Xu Feng's defense is very uncomfortable.
But Xu Feng is not a vegetarian either. Under Johnson's crazy training, he is not so easily defeated.
At this moment, Xu Feng exerted all his strength and accidentally knocked Tony Allen into the air...
Choice is more important than effort
