Scramble! Still a scrimmage!

The replay center believed that Lin Feng did not control the ball, so he had to compete with Harden in the frontcourt for the ball.

Well, this time the steal almost turned into a score. Paul frowned and looked a little ugly. Unexpectedly, a rookie predicted his intention.

Paul began to direct his teammates' positions to prepare for attack or defense.

James stood behind Lin Feng, so that he could face it calmly regardless of whether he grabbed the ball or not.

The referee threw the basketball and the two jumped up almost at the same time, but Lin Feng grabbed the ball with his wingspan and called back to James.

He gradually adapted to this intensity of competition and devoted himself to it.

After jumping the ball, Lin Feng quickly moved forward. Tucker couldn't react in time. Lao Zhan was quick and lobbed the ball to Lin Feng who entered the paint area.

With great strides, Lin Feng dribbled the ball across the free throw line and forced a layup against Paul under the basket.

Of course, he cannot easily succeed in the latter, but his height of 183 centimeters is really powerless to change anything.

Lin Feng scored his fifth point of the game by hitting the rebound into the basket.

The steal resulted in an indirect score, and Lao Zhan took the initiative to high-five him on the way back to defense. This was the best encouragement from the team boss.

In the next few rounds, Lin Feng was like a powerful Ferrari, succeeding on the offensive end one after another. By the end of the third quarter, he had scored 12 points.

"Well done!"

During the break, Josh Hart took the initiative to high-five him, and Caruso, who was sitting on the bench, was a little embarrassed because Lin Feng did not get a chance to play.

"Gary, you can be sharper on the offensive end, and I will pass the ball to you." James encouraged while drinking water.

Lao Zhan's passing is indeed great. As long as he runs tirelessly, the basketball will be passed to him as soon as the opportunity arises.

Eight of the 12 points came from Lao Zhan's assists. However, the Lakers are still four points behind, which is not too big. The two teams are basically still on the same starting line.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Walton planned to temporarily take Lin Feng off the court to rest, and let Hart, who felt good, go up for a while.

It seems that tonight's final decisive stage requires him to return to the court to score. In fact, Lin Feng's physical strength is enough to last until the end of the fourth quarter.

Hart's performance was quite satisfactory, and he tried his best to put pressure on Harden on the defensive end, but the bearded man was too strong, and sometimes he could only watch the ball and sigh.

Harden's step back is difficult to predict. You can't tell whether he is going to break through or withdraw from the three-point line to shoot. For this reason, Hart received two fouls in less than two minutes on the court.

The score difference has always been in single digits, and at most it has been seven points. The Lakers' offensive efficiency is not bad, which is due to the Rockets not working hard enough on defense.

Paul also did not appear on the court. After all, he is 34 years old and his physical fitness is not as strong as that of young people. D'Antoni put him on the bench and let Harden lead the team alone, waiting for the final five minutes of the decisive stage.

For the Lakers, Rondo will also not appear in the closing stages. His physical strength is also an issue. Although he has strong passing organization skills, he will be easily targeted on the defensive end.

Walton is pleased with Lin Feng's performance tonight. He is a scalpel on the bench and can bring firepower to the team.

He can serve as a fixed-point shooter in James' system, and he can also organize his own offense to score points. He seems to be a rookie version of Kyrie Irving.

In the third quarter, James felt the same way when he partnered in the offense. The crew-cut rookie standing next to him seemed to take him back to the Cavaliers two years ago.

There is always a little man with cold eyes standing behind him, and they even look similar in stature.

This inspired James to fight tonight and fight towards the championship.

The last attack in the third quarter was successful, and the scene of the two clapping hands when they returned to the bench was captured by the camera. This scene was very similar to the James-Ou combination back then.

As soon as the fourth quarter started, the Rockets, led by Harden, went on a offensive offensive, and they planned to give the Lakers a head-on blow.

Anthony remained on the court. He performed poorly tonight, making only one of seven three-pointers and scoring 7 points.

Walton still put a small lineup on the court, without Big McGee, Kuzma served as the fifth position, and Hart and Rondo formed the backcourt.

Not long after the game started, Gerald Green hit a three-pointer from the corner.

The Lakers advanced quickly, and Ingram used his wingspan to get to the basket. He had no chance and had to pass back to Rondo on the outside.

James was in position under the basket, and Rondo flipped the ball over. Faced with a double attack between the two, James forced the ball to hit the board and score.

99-93, the Lakers are still six points behind.

Evelin on the sidelines was in a state of excitement the whole time. Just thinking about her brother standing on the court made her faint with happiness.

Many people already know that they are the family of rookie Gary Smith.

Evelin quickly became familiar with the two girls watching the game next to her, and one of the girls even asked her to find out if Lin Feng was single.

"Haha, he has a very weird personality and a very stubborn temper. I don't think anyone can stand him." Evelin laughed hard.

It wasn't until seven minutes into the fourth quarter that Lin Feng replaced Rondo and returned to the court. Walton's task for him was obvious, which was to score.

Ingram and Kuzma couldn't open up the situation on the court. Relying on James to get to the basket was not the answer. We could only rely on Lin Feng, who performed well in the third quarter.

Returning to the court, Lin Feng felt that the air was filled with excitement. He wanted to show off his offensive talent to the fullest, even in the face of Paul's defense.

He began to frequently call for pick-and-rolls, asking Big McGee to block the unshaven Harden for him. Although McGee's pick-and-roll quality was not very high, sometimes what he sent was not a pick-and-roll, but a double-team between two people.

Lin Feng could only give up this strategy and choose to pass and cut, relying on his tireless running and James's picturesque passing.

After a brief scoring play, Lin Feng, who was holding the ball, positioned himself near the bottom corner to face Anthony. Gordon, who was guarding Hart at an angle of 45 degrees, was ready to double-team at any time.

But Lin Feng's breakthrough ability is obvious to all, and his court vision is not bad. Risky double-teaming will only create an open shooting opportunity for Josh Hart who is lurking on the outside.

Entering the final decisive stage, every attack is precious.

When Gordon hesitated to double-team, Lin Feng had already started to speed up and ran over Anthony from the baseline and broke into the basket.

A beautiful mid-air pull-up layup, leaving only Anthony's lonely figure behind him.

He is really old, this was Lin Feng's first reaction. If we went back a few years ago, he would never have been able to slip past Anthony into the penalty area so easily.

D'Antoni on the sidelines crossed his arms and looked stern. Perhaps he had already begun to think about Anthony's fate.

Melo only played ten games with the Rockets before bidding farewell to Houston, leaving without even a trace of dignity.

The honor room at Syracuse University is filled with his records, as well as the most dazzling championship photo.

But now, he can no longer adapt to the faster pace of the NBA. Lin Feng looked at Anthony's lonely back with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
