I am super giant

Chapter 53 "Iron Elbow" Malone

"Rush, replace Fisher!"

Phil Jackson sighed and spoke to the guard on the other side of the bench.

Karim Rush, the No. 2002 rookie in the first round in 20, 198 cm, a shooting guard, a standard 3D player.

(3 refers to three-pointers, and D is the initial letter of English defense. 3D refers to role players who can shoot three-pointers and have strong defense. It is also the coach's favorite player.)
After Rush came on the field, his main task was to defend Davis.

In this way, Payton can defend Ye Feng with all his strength, instead of thinking about making up for Fisher all the time.

The Lakers continued to attack.

Gary Payton dribbled the ball halfway and came to Ye Feng.

"Rookie, you are really cowardly. If you have the ability, hit me alone. What is it to pass the ball to Davis, the iron king? Are you admitting that you are not as good as me? If you only have such guts, go back to your hometown! NBA Don't be a coward!"

Even when Payton was attacking, he did not forget to continue to provoke Ye Feng.

Ye Feng stared at Peyton's big mouth, then opened his arms silently, and stood firmly between Peyton and the basket without saying a word.

"This guy, didn't you respond to this?"

Peyton shook his head. If it was other young lads who hit a few beautiful shots before, they would definitely have their tails cocked to the sky.

But Ye Feng is so calm, he even lied to himself by pretending to be a brainless attack in the previous round of attack, he is really a hero.

"It's interesting. My strategy is completely ineffective!"

If you are young, no!Even if it was only three years ago, Payton would definitely try his best to educate this interesting rookie, after all, every superstar wants face.

But the 36-year-old Payton is no longer a young man who is impulsive. Knowing how to play is more suitable for a veteran like himself.

After stopping the ball, Payton stretched out his right hand to his teammates and raised four fingers.

The tactics of the fourth position, the pick-and-roll tactics of Malone and Payton.

Without hesitation, Ma Long ran to the free throw line and blocked Ye Feng with his generous body.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Payton broke into the paint from the other side of Malone.

"Carlos (Boozer), switch!"

Ye Feng, who knew that he was out of position, shouted loudly, hoping that Boozer could quickly switch defenses and guard Payton.

But when Ye Feng turned his head to look, he found that Boozer was one step slower, just like every round before.

"Ugh"

Can't count on Boozer, Ye Feng can only rely on himself, trying to bypass Ma Long's generous body.

But at this moment, Ma Long suddenly used an iron elbow from an angle that the referee couldn't see, and tapped Ye Feng's chest lightly and hard.

"what!"

Ye Feng let out a miserable cry, had to stop, and stood there holding his chest.

Because of the pain, Ye Feng's face was distorted, and he kept "hissing" and sucking in cold air.

And just taking advantage of this opportunity, Payton got an excellent opening and a simple mid-range shot into the basket.

Swish!
20: 17.

Ye Feng's face was ugly, and he looked at Ma Long fiercely, but found that Ma Long was also looking at him.

"Rookie, I heard that you are very good at fighting, do you dare to fight with me!"

Malone challenged softly.

"."

Ye Feng clenched his fist, but he didn't make a move after all.

Fighting is also different.

In the fight with the Bucks before, one was Mason of the Bucks who fought first, and the other was at the Cavaliers' home court, so it was not serious.

But if Ye Feng dares to make a move now, it would be the first move, or an away provocation, and the consequences would definitely be serious.

Ye Feng has a temper, but he is not stupid.

"Hehe, did you think he was a tough guy? He turned out to be a coward!"

Ma Long was a little disappointed. He saw that Peyton had failed to provoke Ye Feng before, so he wanted to try his own method, but unfortunately he also failed.

But failure is failure, and ridicule and ridicule are unavoidable.

After saying this with a sneer, Malone turned around to defend.

The Lakers retreated.

Ye Feng held his chest and still stood where he was, and the four Lakers surrounded him.

"Ye, are you okay?"

James asked with concern.

The head coach of the Cavaliers also entangled the referee after seeing this scene.

"Hey, Malone used his elbow. That's an action that shouldn't appear on the basketball court. That's a foul. You should give him a malicious foul, at least a first-level technical foul!"

Paul complained dissatisfied.

"I didn't see any foul, so the goal just now is valid, please sit back in your seat."

Even if the referee didn't see Malone's action, he knew what happened. After all, everyone knows what kind of guy Malone is.

But since he didn't blow it just now, it is impossible to blow it now. The authority of the referee cannot be easily challenged.

What's more, this is the Lakers' home game, what's wrong with blowing the home whistle?
Ma Long is a superstar, what is Ye Feng?An undrafted pick.What if I blow a star whistle?
Can you still bite me?
At that moment, the Los Angeles fans also began to play their role, booing loudly.

"Hey! That Asian guard, stop pretending, your poor acting skills can't fool the people of Los Angeles, this is the territory of Hollywood. In terms of acting, Los Angeles is the best. And you countryman, get out of here!"

"That's right, this is the NBA! If you can't even accept this kind of confrontation, go back to your hometown in the East, maybe dancing is more suitable for you!"

"The Cavaliers, you are a bunch of liars. If you want to gain the sympathy of the referee with such a performance, don't think about it!"

Facing the boos all over the court, the Cavaliers' faces were not good-looking.

Everyone knows that Ye Feng suffered a loss just now, but when it came to the mouths of Los Angeles people, he pretended to be hurt to win sympathy, which is too uncomfortable.

"Okay! Keep playing!"

At this point, Ye Feng's only choice is to grit his teeth and continue playing.

Fortunately, that elbow was just sore, but not injured.

Boozer sent the baseline ball, and Ye Feng dribbled the ball forward.

While running, Boozer suddenly ran up to Ye Feng and whispered into his ear: "Ye, it's just a preseason game, there's no need to be so serious. If you continue to work so hard when you meet someone as dirty as Ma Long, It will hurt!"

After finishing speaking, Boozer left Ye Feng behind and quickly ran to the frontcourt.

Ye Feng was stunned.

"Is this why your defense was a step slower throughout the game?"

There is nothing wrong with Boozer's thoughts. After all, it is a preseason game. After all, you are facing "Iron Elbow" Malone. What if you lose?The team lost nothing, and the players themselves lost nothing.

And if you insist on defending seriously, there is a high probability that you will be injured.

Think about all the bloody history left by Malone, Olajuwon's ribs, Horry's butt, Barkley's shoulder, Isiah Thomas' 40 needles in the head, Robinson's almost stopped pulse
Even Malone's current teammate O'Neal was almost smashed by Malone in the past.

Over the years, NBA superstars, Jordan, Pippen, Duncan, and Nash fell under Malone's elbow one by one. Pippen was even too scared to defend and ran away.

Could it be that you just admit defeat?
Ye Feng looked at the entire frontcourt while dribbling the ball.
