Chapter 128 Garbage Time

Swift, who is the name of a reporter who bets with Lin Feng, is a sports reporter at the Cleveland Sun.

The playoffs are about to begin, and the city of Cleveland is in a state of excitement. For this small city, whenever the NBA playoffs arrive, it is a day for them to revel in the whole city.

In order to cater to the arrival of the playoffs, local media often spend a lot of time reporting news from all aspects, including some off-court gossip and interesting news.

Early in the morning of the game.

The Sun Sports section, an inconspicuous corner, reads such an interesting story on the off-site.

Our reporter Swift bet with New York rookie Lin Feng that if Lin Feng gets more than ten in any game in this round of the series, Swift will kiss the donkey's butt.

This is an interesting bet, and everyone can testify to Swift and Lin Feng.

This news in the corner of the newspaper was not eye-catching, but when Cleveland fans saw it, they all showed great interest because the bet was very interesting.

So, fans reposted the news on social media and expressed their opinions.

As more and more people reprinted it, the news was reported by UPN TV, the largest TV station in Ohio, Cleveland, which is part of the state. Of course, this was just a small episode of the game when reporting.

However, UPN has a great influence, so after the bet was reported, Swift, an unknown reporter, became famous in Ohio. In addition to him, Lin Feng, another person involved in the incident, also came into people's attention.

It is even because of this incident that people know that the New York Knicks signed such a defender from China not long ago.

With the UPN report, Lin Feng and Swift’s bet also became popular on the Internet, and American fans joked.

A well-known sports website even conducted a survey. Do you think Swift will win or lose?

Fans participated in the survey enthusiastically, and the final results showed that 85% of people believed that the winner must be Swift.

Among those who choose Lin Feng to win, there is a large part of them who choose him, just want to see how Swift kissed the donkey's butt.

Therefore, there are very few people who truly support Lin Feng and think he can win. I guess most of these supporters of Lin Feng are Chinese.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

The entire New York Knicks took a bus to the home court of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Speed ​​Loan Stadium.

This is one of the hottest home courts in the league. Although Cleveland is a small town, the Speed ​​Loan Stadium is almost full. Especially today, it is the first game of the playoffs. The enthusiastic fans came outside the stadium early, so that as soon as the Knicks bus appeared, they were surrounded by Cleveland fans. They did not do anything extreme. However, whenever a Knicks player gets off the car, a huge boo sounds. When Lin Feng gets off, the booing at the scene reached a peak. It is conceivable how "famous" she is in this city at present.

It's 7:30 p.m.

The competition officially begins.

The starting lineups of the New York Knicks are center Podolski, power forward Chris, small forward Cook, organizational defender Brewer, and countdown Jones.

As a young newbie, Lin Feng performed well in daily training, but it is impossible for him to start the game at once, and even the substitute rotation lineup may not be able to enter, because every coach has an inherent employment mode.

For example, Pheles's employing mode is nine-player rotation. In addition to the five starting players, there are four commonly used substitutes. This lineup has been polished for a season and is relatively mature. Therefore, it is impossible for Pheles to break this rotation mode without any last resort.

The starting lineup of the Cleveland Cavaliers is center Dava Bridge, power forward Comfort, small forward Toms, organizational defender Devin, and countdown Milito.

In the Cavaliers' starting lineup, three of them were selected as All-Stars, namely, Toms, Comfort and Devin. These three were once all independent figures and came together to pursue a championship.

At the beginning of the game, Toms and Devin frequently broke through and scored the team's first 12 points, while the Knicks played very ordinary. Under the fierce defense of the Cavaliers, there were not many ways, and they made consecutive shots and scored only four points.

So much so that the first quarter of the game was only three minutes before the two-point gap widened to 8 points, and Pheles had to call a timeout.

"The Cavaliers started perfectly, 12:4, doing a pretty job. If you continue like this, you can widen the score difference to more than 20 in the first half."

The commentator of UPN TV station, Heisen, said in a daze at the commentator on the side of the court.

Due to the lack of suspense in this game, it was not broadcast live across the United States. Only UPN and a sports TV station in New York were broadcast live in the United States.

"New York started very badly, I hope they can adjust in time. I don't want the game to turn into garbage time so quickly. That way, it will be very painful to watch." Johnson, a commentator invited by UPN, said, who was once a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Pause ends.

The Knicks attacked and Jones found a chance to take a three-pointer.

As a result, a iron-shot...

The Cavaliers seized the opportunity and launched a fast attack. Toms made a dunk with one-stop, and the score became 14:4, and the difference reached ten.

The game continues.

Today, the entire Cleveland team was in a surprisingly good shape. Not only did the Big Three perform stably, but even the substitute players were very powerful, so after the first quarter, the Knicks were already 17 points behind.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Philes adjusted his defensive strategy. Under their tough defense, the Cleveland players were really uncomfortable, with their shooting percentage dropping rapidly, while the Knicks took the opportunity to narrow the score to 10 points.

The two sides ended the first half with a score of 55:45.

Lin Feng did not get a chance to play.

The halftime break is over.

The third quarter starts.

This quarter also became the first turning point in this game.

The Cavaliers were in full swing in this quarter. The team made 7 of 11 three-pointers and scored 21 points in a single quarter with just three-pointers. On the other hand, the Knicks were completely lost in this quarter. The team's top scorer Jones made 1 of 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, and his shooting percentage was extremely poor.

In this quarter, the Cavaliers beat the Knicks by 15 points, and with a 10-point lead in the first half, the Cavaliers have already led the Knicks by a full 25 points at the end of the three quarters.

"It seems that there is no suspense in this game. It is absolutely impossible to reverse 25 points in a single quarter!" said UNP commentator Heisen.

"Yes, Toms and Devin worked together in the third quarter and took away the game directly. Oh Maiga, the garbage time of the whole quarter..." Johnson complained.

"Well, the fourth quarter is beginning, let's see if the Knicks can get the score close as soon as possible, making the game a little suspense."

The game continues.

Lin Feng still did not get the chance to play, while his teammates continued to perform like sleepwalking. In the fourth quarter, the score was not approaching, but was pulled away by three points. At this time, the Knicks were already 28 points behind, and everyone was depressed on the bench.

"This game has completely lost its suspense."

"A massacre, this is the embodiment of the strength of the two teams."

"Looking at the data, Toms scored 27 points, 7 assists, Devin scored 22 points, 8 assists, and Comfort also scored 17 points and 13 rebounds. The Big Three performed very steadily, which was a perfect victory."

"Oh, the Knicks replaced all the main players, they gave up... Hey, that guy came on the field..."

"Maiga, the game finally has a new highlight. The defender from China has appeared. Haha, there are 5 minutes and 55 seconds left in the game. In such a long garbage time, let's see if he can get tens of them." Heisen shouted excitedly.

"This is indeed the best chance he has gotten, and he may only have a chance in this kind of garbage time." Johnson said with great interest.
