NBA: You said you would give up, and now you’ve won three consecutive championships?

Jaylen Brown, breathing heavily, looked at the scoreboard above his head and began to feel irritated.

The Lakers actually took the lead?

Well, the good news is that my defensive task was indeed very successful, and Li Feng did not have the ball.

But the bad news is that the Lakers' scoring efficiency was hardly affected.

Due to Li Feng's outside threat, the Lakers have more opportunities to attack the inside.

Jordan Clarkson, Randle, and Ingram, these three are all strong.

In comparison, the Celtics have a higher proportion of free agents and fringe players.

"It seems that the next battle will be a tough one..."

……

Seeing that the Lakers had overtaken the score, Li Feng completed his mission and took the initiative to ask the coach to substitute him.

Larry Nance didn't understand why Li Feng took the initiative to reduce his playing time. He wanted to have more opportunities to show himself, which was something many people could not even dream of.

He couldn't figure it out and didn't understand it.

If I put myself in his shoes, if I performed well, I would definitely take this opportunity to show my abilities to the coach more.

Learning how to fight for playing time is a skill that must be mastered in any league, including the NBA!

However, Li Feng's actions always left him confused.

Out of curiosity, Larry Nance inexplicably asked:

"Li Feng, don't you want more opportunities to show yourself?"

Li Feng turned around and replied with a casual smile:

"No, I'm actually happier if you get more playing time."

After all, being on the court all the time is also very tiring. The rookie contract only pays so little, and if I have to play the entire game... well, this is difficult!

Besides, Li Feng had to take an average of less than five shots during the entire summer league to complete the system task.

Besides, the Celtics are not stupid. If they pass the ball too much, it will inevitably give the opponent time to adjust against them.

But the people around were extremely shocked after hearing this.

Larry Nance was stunned, Anthony Brown was stunned, and even the free agents who were not very familiar with Li Feng were stunned.

When they were fighting desperately for playing time, Li Feng actually gave up the opportunity to play.

What kind of self-sacrificing spirit is this?!

Li Feng, so great!!

Leaving such a precious playing opportunity to others, Li Feng's character is even more shocking than his football skills.

"Li Feng...don't worry, we will do our best!" Larry Nance clenched his fists and said very seriously.

The others were also full of fighting spirit, vowing to win the last quarter and not let Li Feng's "self-sacrifice" go to waste.

Li Feng was a little confused when he saw everyone's excited looks.

What's going on?

Who gave the Buff?

Luke Walton saw that the players seemed to be inspired by Li Feng, and his expression was very complicated.

He was puzzled. Compared with Li Feng, what did he do wrong?

……

When Li Feng was substituted off, Jaylen Brown felt a little disappointed.

Because the two sides have not yet decided the winner, there is no chance to compete with Li Feng again.

He was confident that if they fought again this time, he would definitely find a way to lock Li Feng down.

Jaylen Brown clenched his fists, determined to lead the team to fight back in the final quarter!

He must win this game!!

As soon as the fourth quarter started, everyone felt the tense atmosphere.

The two sides were confronting each other, as if they were about to draw their bayonets and engage in hand-to-hand combat at the next second.

Commentator Mike: "I don't know why, but I seem to smell gunpowder in the air?"

Green also laughed and said, "Me too. Judging from the momentum of both sides, it seems that they are bound to decide who is the better one!"

"I hope the audience will pay attention, because the next game will definitely be exciting!!"

……

As the commentator saw, both teams entered the 'playoffs' mode from the fourth quarter onwards.

All the players on the court are trying their best to attack and defend.

Although this also resulted in a large number of fouls, fortunately, the number of fouls in the summer league can be accumulated up to ten times, so it is not a big problem.

Mickey from the Celtics took advantage of his teammate's pick-and-roll, faked a shot to attract the defense's attention, and then made a ground pass to put the basketball into the paint, assisting Rozier to complete a dunk.

Larry Nance came back and made a European jump shot to put the ball into the basket, once again narrowing the gap.

The Lakers were in high spirits and faced the Celtics head-on, which made the audience excited.

This is pure basketball!!

Coming back, James Young's breakthrough was interrupted by Jordan Clarkson's assist defense and he was forced to stop the ball.

Jaylen Brown created an opportunity with a very smart counter-run, then forced his way into the basket and scored 2+1 against the Lakers center.

Neither side gave in, and the scores rose alternately.

Li Feng sat on the bench, feeling a little emotional.

Such a high-level competition is just the NBA Summer League.

Who could have imagined that most of these flying and daring players are actually players without a ball to play in the NBA.

He has no doubt that these players who can only sit on the bench in the NBA can also average 20+ points per game in the CBA league.

So, what exactly went wrong with domestic basketball?

Li Feng touched his chin. This matter seemed to have an answer, but also seemed to have no answer.

His reason for coming to the NBA was simple. In addition to realizing his own dream, he also wanted to influence the basketball culture in the country.

At least give them the confidence to go abroad and take this step.

Even a 'problem player' like me who doesn't train all day can make it in the NBA, so what are you afraid of?

Dayao is a genius, but there shouldn’t be only one genius in Xia Country over the years.

Back then, even Yao Ming almost couldn't leave Shanghai due to numerous obstacles. If China only follows the rules and sticks to the old ways, then Chinese basketball will have a hard time even expanding beyond Asia.

Li Feng still remembers a saying in later generations that even if Jordan came to Xia Country, he would have to have a drink first... Although it is a joke that cannot be verified, sometimes this may also be a reality that cannot be changed.

It would be great if we could boost the confidence of Xia Guo's players and give them the courage to take this step. But how can we do that?

Before I knew it, the game had reached the last three minutes.

77:82.

The Celtics took the lead again thanks to Jaylen Brown's outstanding performance and the silent efforts of other teammates on the defensive end.

Anthony Brown of the Lakers was observing the direction of the court, and his teammates were also actively running.

With a five-point difference, he can't afford to make mistakes.

After creating space in a disguised way, he stepped directly outside the three-point line and shot.

Three points, hit!

"Shh-"

80: 82.

The Lakers once again dragged the game back into suspense, and now it entered the crucial decisive moment.

At this time, Luke Walton stood up and said to the referee:

"The Lakers request a timeout!"
