Chapter 1304: Unexpected Assassination
"Joey has a lot of abilities that people talk about, and Jikong is one of them."
On the sidelines, Li Feng said this after seeing the defender jump up to block Joey.
Aside, Scarlett and Tiffany nodded in agreement, but they did not respond, and still looked at Joey on the field without blinking.
Li Feng felt that he was being neglected. Where were the two women who had been pestering him every day and wanted to practice with him, why did he not even have time to talk to him now?
The baby is bitter, the baby is not happy!
On the court, the Lakers player who jumped up and blocked the shot was stunned to find that he had begun to decline, and Joey remained at the highest point!
Just when he was about to land, Joey shot!
"Whoosh"
The ball crossed a graceful arc in mid-air and fell into the net!
Three point shot!
Joey made a fist with one hand and hammered his chest hard.
Screaming all over the place!
At the same time, many fans showed disbelief.
In their impression, the three-pointer is Joey's shortcoming. Once Joey participated in the All-Star Three-pointer Contest and scored the lowest 5 points in history, which has also become Joey's shameful record.
Why did you make the first three-pointer in this comeback, luck?
In fact, this is a misunderstanding of Joey. In the early stage of Joey’s career, his three-point shooting rate was indeed dismal, but that was because he didn’t shoot three-pointers very much at all, and he averaged less than one three-pointer shot per game.
Usually, the attack time is coming, and the 3-point shot is rushed, and the hit rate is high.
However, when Joey averaged more than 3 three-pointers per game, his three-point shooting rate was still good. Someone has made a statistic that Joey has made more than 200 three-pointers in four seasons. These four He shot 38.3 percent from three this season.
And the number of three-point shots in these four seasons is about 60% of the career total!
Another statistic is also very telling, that is, the three-point shooting rate in the finals. In the 1991 finals, the three-point shooting rate was 50%, in 1992, 42.9%, and in 1993, it still reached 40%.
Joey's three-point shooting percentage is the regular season of the finals playoffs. The more intense the game, the more cautious Joey's shot selection, and the higher the three-point shooting rate.
So Joey has the ability to shoot three-pointers.
What's more, after retiring, Joey can't fly like he did when he was young, so he can only practice shooting. This practice has resulted in a super high three-point shooting rate...
Of course, no one has realized that Joey has developed the ability to make three-pointers. After he made this three-pointer, the Lakers still did not change their defensive attitude towards Joey. Rush into the inside and then double-team.
At the beginning of the game, the Tornados beat the team 5-0, which made the players of the Lakers very upset. Then, all the three giants of the Lakers took the attitude of playing in the playoffs and scored a goal by LB.
2 to 5!
In the next goal, after the transition from offense to defense, the Lakers also rose to the intensity of the playoffs in terms of defense-the whole court is pressing!
When Joey advanced with the ball, LB volunteered to block in front of him: "Joey, I won't let you score this ball."
Joey dribbled the ball and said with a smile: "LB, you have the determination to defend me, which makes me very happy, but determination does not mean ability, right?"
The voice fell, and Joey suddenly accelerated to start, making a move to break through from the left side of LB.
Joey's fake moves have reached the realm of transformation, and it is inevitable that he is better than LB. He immediately moves to the left to block Joey.
Just as LB moved to the left sideways, Joey pulled the ball back,
Break through from the right side of LB like a bolt of lightning.
LB is worthy of being a superstar. He turned around and chased after he found himself being swayed. At the same time, a well-prepared player from the Lakers came over to defend and formed a double-team with LB.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Joey immediately stopped and wanted to force a jumper. Seeing this, the assist defense player jumped high and made a block action.
Joey's move caught most of the attention of the rest of the Lakers, who didn't notice that the missing Stormtrooper had appeared not far from the basket.
Just when people thought Joey was going to force a shot, he suddenly didn't watch anyone pass the ball and went straight to the basket!
The ball fell into the hands of the missed Tornado player as accurately as a guided missile. He didn't need to make any further adjustments, he just made a layup and scored the ball!
2 to 7! The Winds continue to lead by 5 points!
"Don't forget, I'm a point guard now."
Facing LB who was chasing after him, Joey said with a wink.
LB: "..."
In less than two minutes from the opening to the present, Joey has shown explosive bouncing power, a smooth silk-like perimeter feel, and a super organizational ability.
Joey's state is not like a person who hasn't played a professional game for more than ten years!
Of course, the Lakers are the team with the best record in the league, and even if Joey's performance is so terrible, it still can't stop their determination to win.
In the following time, the Lakers firmly grasped every attacking opportunity and hit them in succession.
If they were replaced by the previous Tornado team, they would definitely fall into a passive situation under this wave of attacks from the Lakers.
But with Joey joining the situation is completely different, every time the Lakers succeed, Joey can always give a response.
He either scores with his super high individual singles ability, or uses his super playmaking ability to pass the ball to the best teammates to shoot.
By the end of the first quarter, the score was fixed at 26-28, with the Winds leading by 2 points.
In this section, Joey scored 12 points and provided 3 assists, two of which helped his teammates make three-pointers.
That is to say, out of the 28 points that the Tornados scored, Joey made 20 points directly or indirectly!
In the second quarter, the game was still anxious. Perhaps Joey put more energy on organizing the offense in order to save his stamina, and the scoring momentum declined.
But in this quarter, Joey still scored 8 points, but sent out 5 assists. After halftime, Joey's data had reached 20 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, filling the data column.
However, the Lakers also fully played the role of the Big Three. They played superb offense again and again, not only leveled the point difference, but also overtook the score at the end of the second quarter.
The final score was fixed at 52-48, with the Lakers leading by 4 points.
During the half-time break, Zhang Weiping sighed: "I have to make a self-examination. Joey's data has reached 20+5+5 in the half-time game. I still underestimated the ability of the basketball king."
"Yeah, who would have thought that Joey would perform like this in the first game of his comeback?" Yang Jia also sighed.
After the players from both sides finished, the most famous acrobatic troupe in the United States began to perform.
The clown was the first to appear. He rode a unicycle and kept throwing five things in his hand, apples, oranges, bananas, cucumbers, and a small fruit knife.
The clown's performance was greeted with bursts of applause. Just as he was about to leave the stage, a terrifying aura suddenly burst out on him. At the same time, a red glow appeared on the fruit knife and went straight to the door of Li Feng, who was sitting on the sidelines. And go!
