Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters Chapter 838 838 527 When the Chosen One Judges5

Chapter 838: Chapter 527 When the Chosen One Judges_5 Chapter 838: Chapter 527 When the Chosen One Judges_5 That is to say, the Lakers now not only can’t entertain any ideas about offensive rebounds, but even defensive rebounds face the risk of being completely dominated.

The Lakers restarted the ga.

Kobe wanted to attack, but this ti, Durant used his long arms to block his view.

At last, Jas got the ball.

Jas turned around, facing Fei and intending to call out Roy, but Roy chose to double team him with Fei.

Jas was forced to pass the ball to Richard Hamilton.

Hamilton, under the pressure of defending against two in Durant’s area, took a three-pointer from a semi-open position.

...

The instant Hamilton shot, he seed to catch a glimpse of Fei’s face in the corner of his eye, the opponent was smiling.

Yes, he was smiling.

What was he smiling at?

Could it be possible he was amused that the Lakers, after taking full advantage of their strategies, still had to pay back the debt of those strategies?

Hamilton might never understand that smile.

Because this is the curse of space basketball.

As a shooter, Hamilton had shot over 40% for the Lakers this season, but Fei knew him well. As a classic point guard, he had always been an expert at mid-range pull-ups early in his career. After leaving the Wizards, his outside shooting fluctuated yearly, shooting 36% one year and dropping below 30% the next—a typical statistic for a scorer who relies on mid-range shots and keeps three-pointers as a plan B.

Why had his three-point shooting soared to 40% with the Lakers? This certainly had to do with his personal transformation, but also could not be separated from the support of stars like Kobe and LeBron. After all, on the Lakers, no one would mark him closely, and the pressure he faced in regular season was different from now.

The Supersonics didn’t give him much space and continued to pressure him throughout the ga. After a whole ga, Hamilton’s three-point shooting just reached 35%. This semi-open three-pointer, he shot under everyone’s eyes, and then…

“Bang!”

Inside the paint, DeAndre Jordan, Chris Bosh, and Fei jumped at the sa ti. It was impossible for the Lakers to take the rebound from these three.

Fei grabbed the rebound and gave Hamilton an ironic look.

Sorry, Rip, even if your outside shooting percentage is as high as 42%, in our plans it’s no different from 22%.

No matter how great a shooter, one cannot survive in the brutal battle in the paint; this is the so-called source from NBA history that shooting alone can’t win championships.

Fei passed the ball to Roy, giving him a look.

Roy understood, slowed down the pace, waiting until the last ten seconds of the offense, just as Fei positioned himself low against LeBron.

Roy lobbed the ball.

The mont Fei got the ball, his left side slamd into LeBron like a vehicle in an accident.

The Lakers Team hadn’t forgotten how terrible LeBron’s low post defense was, and in that mont, Kobe decisively left Durant to double team.

Fei, with a blind angle, flicked the ball towards Durant behind him.

“!#￥@!￥”

Durant hesitated for a mont, the helping Miller flew by, and he then drove the ball towards the basket, gliding for a slam dunk.

“Frye to KD connection!” Mike Breen exclaid, “Supersonics lead by 9 points!”

New emotions began to erge in Jas’s heart, so negative thoughts were brewing.

Then, Fei gave him a wide step.

He had the space to shoot.

The fans couldn’t wait and shouted, “LeBron, crush him! Let him know you’re not easy to ss with!”

“!#￥!#￥”

Jas’s will was hijacked, he could hardly believe he had a shot under these doubtful conditions, but what could he do?

Jas took a deep breath, suddenly pulled up, Fei’s interference arrived right in front of him.

As soon as the ball left his hand, he knew it was over.

The shot was terribly off!

Durant grabbed the defensive rebound, excited to pass to Fei quickly moving down.

Unfortunately, the intent was too obvious, intercepted by Kobe halfway down.

Kobe, taking advantage of the fact that Supersonics’ defense hadn’t set yet, decisively shot, but unfortunately, it was his first attempt after several rounds and he hadn’t found his rhythm, missing as well.

DeAndre Jordan secured the defensive rebound.

It was a scene that could confuse anyone about the developnt of basketball.

In Milwaukee and Seattle, Fei had already proved that space, speed, and three-pointers were the trends in basketball gas.

So why, with a lineup that lacked space and three-pointers, could the Supersonics suffocate the Lakers?

Could being long, tall, and fast also be a version answer?

“Take it slow!” Roy took the ball from DeAndre Jordan and shouted, “We have plenty of ti, hold steady!”

There were less than two and a half minutes left.

Roy continued to control the court.

anwhile, Fei was down low, jostling with LeBron for position.

Visually, it looked like two massive n cramd in a crowded bus, pushing each other against a wall.

LeBron desperately tried to keep his position, not wanting to let Fei gain the upper hand.

But ultimately, Fei forcefully used his elbow to push him back and, waving his hand, called, “Pass it, he can’t guard !”

How many people stood up at that mont?

No one can give an exact number, but people like Gary Smith, who believed in Fei’s victory, got up.

Fei caught the ball, turned around, smoothly jumped up, leaned back, and flicked the ball.

Genetically speaking, everyone is born by chance, then survives by chance, and eventually dies logically, coming without a shadow and leaving without a trace.

But a small handful of people leave a significant mark, like the countless dinosaur footprints fossilized around the world from eons ago.

This was their proof of existence.
