The Rockets requested a timeout, and Adelman wanted to set up a tactic to delay time until the last moment to make a shot, leaving no chance for the Lakers to counterattack, as long as the ball entered, they could win the game. If they didn't enter, they would fight for overtime.

Jackson also made the final defensive arrangement. "Radmanovic is down, Ye Feng is on the way. Odom is responsible for marking Bathir. Ye Feng is in the interior. If they fail to shoot, they will call a timeout after taking the backcourt rebound. The Rockets are likely to choose to break through. Be careful not to foul when making up for defense."

Ye Feng was ordered to be in danger, his heart beat violently as if he had just run a hundred meters. He deeply understood why the stars needed a big heart. At the end of the game, he was nervous when he was just responsible for defense, let alone those who performed the last shot?

Brian Cook's defense is too trash. Kwame Brown makes mistakes frequently at critical moments and cannot trust them. Jackson decided to let Ye Feng play and let Odom be on the small forward. Believing that Ye Feng's defense is Jackson's courage.

In the commentary seat, Smith shouted to the microphone: "Are the audience ready? The car has already driven to the edge of the cliff! Should the Rockets defeat the Lakers, or should the Lakers drag the game into overtime? If it enters overtime, it will undoubtedly be more beneficial to the Lakers. Yao Ming only scored two points in the fourth quarter, and his physical strength is not enough."

Yao Ming’s biggest weakness is his physical fitness. His body consumes much greater physical strength than other players in 40 minutes. He is already out of breath and can’t play. When he enters overtime, his power will be further reduced.

After checking the data, Barkley still targeted Kobe. Kobe has scored 43 points, but he still has a problem. "If Kobe's free throw is more accurate today, maybe the Lakers have already won this game. He got 25 free throws, but only hit 17. Today, the Rockets players will be called for a foul once they touch Kobe."

The timeout ended, players from both sides came on the court, and when they saw No. 74 appearing in the lineup, Barkley finally stopped beating Kobe, and shouted unexpectedly. "What's going on? Does the Lakers want to satisfy the wishes of Chinese fans at the last moment and let them see the long-hyped Chinese derby? Yao Ming would like to see Ye Feng appear at this time, and I don't know what he would feel."

Yao Ming’s only feeling was that he hoped McGrady would shoot this damn basketball. At the last moment, either you die or I die. At this time, a small mistake will ruin the team’s efforts all night. No one is willing to lose at this critical moment, if he still wants to have a stable sleep.

Ye Feng was very confident when he saw that the Rockets' power forward was Chuck Hayes. Hayes was a strange NBA player, the shortest inside player, and often played a guest center with a height of 198cm. His role on the court must be to grab the frontcourt rebounds. The Rockets could not let him perform the last shot unless Adelman went crazy. The other four were Alstom, McGrady, Bathir, and Yao Ming, who could all take action.

Ye Feng is already considering that issue. Will the Rockets let Battier shoot the last shot? Should I let go of Hayes and make up for the defense of Battier? This is a bold idea. If the Rockets really arrange Battier's shot, Ye Feng will be a hero if he defends it. But if the Rockets pass the ball, he misses or fails to protect the backcourt rebound, he will be a sinner.

He observed Bathir's eyes, although firm, but it didn't seem like he was going to perform the last shot. And McGrady's eyes always seemed to have drunk too much, not waking up, and couldn't see anything.

Ye Feng guessed wrongly. Adelman arranged the tactic to let McGrady play singles after receiving the ball. McGrady had regained her touch in the second half and scored 28 points, so Kobe may not be able to defend him.

Ye Feng didn't know that he decided to take a bet to make up for the defense of Bathir, and he needed a chance to be a hero.

The game started again, and Bathir was responsible for serving the sideline ball. Yao Ming provided no-ball cover for McGrady. McGrady ran out of the three-point line and received the basketball. After the pick-and-roll, Yao Ming and Hayes both reached a low post, restraining the Lakers' inside line while preparing to grab the frontcourt rebound and make a tip-off. Kobe bypassed Yao Ming and defended McGrady.

All the fans held their breath, and time seemed to slow down at this moment. Under Yao Ming's cover, McGrady had already obtained a good opportunity to go out with the phone. Bynum did not make up for defense and returned to the inside to follow Yao Ming. Kobe was difficult to block and interfere with Yao Ming when he was one step slower. Unfortunately, McGrady hesitated. He felt that taking action was too early at this time would leave time for the Lakers to counterattack, so he chose to dribble the ball with a feint. Kobe took the opportunity to go up close, spread his arms to block his way. McGrady drove a few steps and couldn't shake Kobe, and saw the opportunity to divide the ball to the right.

Alstom on the right side provided a cover for Battier to block Odom from the outside. Physical confrontation was Alstom's weakness. He was not suitable for playing pick-and-roll, but as long as he could delay Odom for half a second, it was enough. Battier ran out of the three-point line and successfully received the basketball at a 45-degree angle. The person who made up for defense became Fisher.

The height difference between the two was very big, so Bathir immediately chose to jump out for three points, with five seconds left. He had a good sense of rhythm this time and felt that he would definitely make it.

Bathir saw Odom on the front, Fisher, but ignored the weak side. As soon as McGrady passed the ball, Ye Feng immediately let go of Hayes and rushed towards Bathir from the bottom line. If Bathir's attention is all focused on the shot, Ye Feng has been paying attention since he came on the court.

He was indeed going to shoot, I could catch up! Ye Feng jumped with all his strength in the sprint... His intention was to block the shot, but he jumped into the air but found that his long arm was too close to the ball, so Bathir saw a scene that he would never forget for life. His shot was directly grabbed from the air by Ye Feng's hands.

A neat exclamation came from the audience. Not only the fans, but also several players on the court were stunned. McGrady was stunned. Kobe threw away McGrady and ran to the Rockets' half with all his strength, with only three seconds left.

As soon as Ye Feng landed, he threw the ball at Kobe with one hand. His passing level was really bad. The ball was fast and his passing was too low. Kobe rushed two steps, lowered his body to receive the basketball, adjusted slightly, and turned around, and before he could aim, he threw the ball out with one hand. The whistle at the end of the game just rang out, and the ball hit the front and bounced into the basket!

The ultimate kill! 94 to 92.

Kobe beat the Rockets by buzzer! The Staples Arena was in full swing, and the Rockets players were all stunned. They couldn't accept losing the game in this way. The worst plan they could think of before was to play overtime...

Yao Ming was the most depressing person in the game. He greeted Ye Feng before the start of the game, which was a chat between the big brother and the rookie. Yao Ming encouraged Ye Feng to play well and be confident. Ye Feng laughed at himself and had no chance to play. But after the game, Yao Ming fought hard and scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. It was not as valuable as Ye Feng's big hat, and the limelight was stolen.

The Lakers were almost behind the game, but dramatically completed the reversal at the last moment, achieving a good start to the season. The substitutes rushed into the field together, surrounded Ye Feng in the middle, and slapped his back. Odom pressed his head and rubbed it. Odom was the most excited. If this ball was shot by Bathir, he would be very responsible.

I really blocked Bathir and assisted Kobe in the finale? Ye Feng still can't believe that this is true. Looking back on the scene just now, he felt that he was so awesome.

The attacking scene just now was repeatedly played on the big screen of the stadium. The moment McGrady passed the ball, Ye Feng started to start, and before Bathil took action, he had already started to jump ahead of time. This was not accidental, but based on excellent predictions and planned defense.

Jackson walked to Ye Feng, patted his shoulder, and said lightly: "It's good to make up for defense."

If you win the game, Ye Feng will make no mistakes. The result of winning is much more important than implementing tactics.

Kobe also came to Ye Feng and smiled and said, "You're doing a pretty job. The coach should really give you more playing time."

"Thank you." The coach and the team boss both said good things, and he believed that he would definitely be better off in the future.

Surrounded by the players, Ye Feng returned to the locker room and received a congratulatory call from Gabriela. He called and chatted for a while, and it was too late to enter the bathroom. After taking a shower, he found that many reporters had entered the locker room, and he was just wrapped in a bath towel on his lower body...

These reporters came to interview Ye Feng, and the cameras were aimed at him and took photos in a mess.

"Ye Feng, what do you think of this ball?"

"At the last moment of the game, did you play such a wonderful block? Was it the coach's arrangement?"

"What do you think of helping the Lakers win the first game?"

"What do you think after winning the China Derby?"

Ye Feng held the bath towel with one hand and pointed to the camera closest to him with the other hand, saying, "My thought is, can you keep this shot away from my crotch? Please wait for me to put on my clothes and you will interview me? I feel like I'm shooting a third-level film."

The teammates laughed, Ye Feng took his clothes back to the bathroom and put them on, sat on the chair, accepted interviews from reporters, and answered questions patiently, feeling like he became famous with one goal.

Speaking of his thoughts, Ye Feng said: "The person I want to defend is Hayes. He doesn't have much attacking ability. At that time, I saw Bathir having a gap and felt like he was going to shoot, so I defended it. My idea was just blocking, but I didn't expect that the jump time was just right, so I grabbed the ball. Maybe God wanted us to win this game."

A Chinese journalist asked: "Are you happy to win the China derby?"

"Everyone is too proud of me. Yao Ming is an All-Star player. I am just a substitute who plays for 13 seconds. If the coach can increase my playing time to 13 minutes, I will be so happy that I can't sleep. The gap between me and Yao Ming cannot be measured. His performance in the inside today is dominant."

Ye Feng took the opportunity to praise Yao Ming for a few words, but was laughing in his heart. He had already asked for Yao Ming's phone number and said that he had time to have dinner together. He was preparing to send a text message to comfort Yao Ming's injured heart.
