The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 153 [Those who wait for the opportunity, those who watch the excitement]

第二节叶锋不声不响拿下了14分，8投5中，罚球4中4。科比也得到了14分，12投6中，罚球3中2。比分63比51，快船依旧保持着12分的领先优势。

During the intermission, Thibodeau especially praised the defense of Hayes and Love. Gasol, who played super data against the Clippers last time, only scored 10 points and 5 rebounds in the half this time.Bynum was even worse, only scoring 8 points and not getting many shots.

Love's defense is not too bad. He can play a role in defending inside players with short offensive distances.Thibodeau is using him as Perkins, and Perkins has exactly the same tasks in the Celtics, resisting people, picking and rolling, and grabbing rebounds.The strength and speed of the two are similar in all aspects. The defensive end is unambiguous against Love, and the offensive end is much stronger than Perkins.And in the case of the same playing time, Perkins took 8 rebounds, and he could grab close to 12.In the first half, he grabbed 9 rebounds and scored 8 points, showing off again.

Thibodeau arranged tactics and drew a few times on the tactical board. "Anthony (Morrow) came in the second half, played the 3, Josh (Smith) the 4, and they might have Odom, keep him close. Yeh, you keep guarding Kobe. Mario (Chalmers) ) to control the ball, you have to look for three-point opportunities from the outside, be more stable when organizing, don’t need to break through, and don’t make mistakes after halftime. Kevin, control the rebound, you are the best!”

On the offensive end, Thibodeau arranged for Ye Feng to attack mainly, let Love pull to a high position, and the others were on the outside.

When the two players returned to the court, Barkley and Kenny Smith were discussing Ye Feng's offensive ability, and he still had a chance to score 40 points in this game.He scored 18 points in the first half and barely exerted himself.

Barkley asked Smith: "The biggest difference between Kobe and Ye Feng, do you know what it is?"

Kenny Smith laughed and said, "The skin color is different."

Barkley said with a smile: "Kobe played very hard every time he attacked, and it was very difficult to catch the ball. He couldn't get rid of the defense, and he had to pay attention to the supplementary defense from the side. Smith and Barnes tried several times to block Kobe. Bobcats This season also beat the Lakers. The Clippers' tactical arrangement is very similar to that of the Bobcats. They all defend Kobe alone and guard against others. In today's game, the Clippers did better than the Bobcats. They are very aware of the weakness of the triangle offense .”

Kenny Smith nodded and said: "After Hayes arrived in the Clippers, their interior defense became better. Now McGee has no chance to play. Hayes is more useful than expected, although the data is not obvious. Well, they played , The Lakers still let Odom on the court, this is an arrangement to limit Ye Feng. The Clippers replaced Morrow, a swingman with super accurate shooting."

Moreau also began to be known.As long as he is on the court, he can make three-pointers.

The Clippers attack first, Love and Smith are pulled to the perimeter, and Ye Feng is about to start a low attack.Odom pushed him behind him and said, "Boy, I taught you your back. I won't let you score easily."

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid you won't be able to defend me." After Ye Feng finished speaking, Chalmers lobbed the ball in from the outside. He was 60 degrees on the strong side. Morrow reached the bottom corner, and the Clippers were also in a triangle. attack.

Fisher could choose to double-team Ye Feng, but that would leave Chalmers short.

Ye Feng caught the ball and took it out and turned to face the frame. Odom was worried that he was shooting a 45-degree jump shot, so he took a step forward. Ye Feng dribbled the ball with his left hand and passed it to his right hand. His right shoulder was protruding out. Odom thought it was a fake move. , without moving to the left.Ye Feng didn't dribble the ball with his crotch anymore, he lowered his center of gravity and brought the ball forward with his right hand, accelerated with one step, and dashed towards the bottom line.

Odom was not thrown away, Ye Feng leaned on him to go inside and into the basket.Odom was suppressed in strength.He jumped back and shot, and Odom couldn't get up because of the crowd.

Odom had no choice but to use a foul to destroy the shot and send Ye Feng to the free throw line. He made two free throws. 65 to 51.

Kobe Bryant has scored 28 points in the half, and he feels very good in this game.He has passed a lot of balls inside, but his teammates missed the opportunity.Now Love follows Gasol and Smith defends Odom, and neither seems to have a good chance.If the outside line can no longer be opened, this game will be difficult again.Kobe can't tolerate losing to the Clippers twice in one season, especially when everyone knows that the overall strength of the Lakers is stronger than that of the Clippers.

The Lakers also started pick-and-roll tactics, Gasol went to the high post to support, Smith switched to defend Kobe, Love followed Odom to two steps outside the three-second zone, Kobe broke through, and played Smith one-on-one.He stepped on the three-second zone line and suddenly took the ball and turned to the middle and took three steps. Smith was not thrown away and jumped up to block the shot.Kobe dodged with a lever in the air, and scored with a low-handed basketball with his right hand. 65 to 53.

Kobe Bryant is hard to defend with all his firepower.However, if the Lakers want to win, they have to defend against the Clippers' offense.In the low post, Ye Feng wanted the ball again, Chalmers lobbed the ball in, he immediately dribbled the ball and turned around, Odom was one step away from Ye Feng, Ye Feng didn't have any hesitation, he shot a jumper, Odom Dom reacted a little slower and couldn't cover it, hitting cricket and scoring. 67 to 53.

Ye Feng's shooting confidence is very strong, if he wants to overwhelm him with this move, he can't jump a bit slower.Odom is a person who is not easy to eat jiggly. The premise of not eating jiggly is not to jump casually. He is sure that Odom will be slow.

Bryant attacked with the ball again, threw off Ye Feng with a screen, and shook Smith with a low-post feint. He jumped and hit Smith while throwing the ball, and the ball went in. 2+1.

After the penalty hit, 67 to 56.

Ye Feng didn't say anything, he could only try his best to defend.Kobe is not so easy to be watched dead.

The Clippers attacked and fell to the ground again. It was still the same tactic. Ye Feng even changed sides and asked for the ball on the right. Odom couldn't prevent him from squeezing to the low post.When the ball was delivered, Odom had already formed a concept, feeling that Ye Feng would dribble the ball to open the distance, so he chose to be close, but Ye Feng directly took the ball with his right hand and turned to the baseline without hesitation, Odom Hurry up to defend, but his speed is not as good as Ye Feng's. Apart from fouling, there is no way to stop him from going to the basket.

Ye Feng took the ball and made a small jump to the bottom of the basket, jumping with all his legs.Odom fouled twice with his back, and didn't want to commit a third foul so quickly, so he didn't reach out.Ye Feng kicked the ball back with both hands.Fortunately, he did not foul, otherwise he might have been beaten 2+1. 69 to 56.

Jackson on the sidelines knew he was in trouble, and the Lakers couldn't do anything against Ye Feng in single defense.Maybe only by getting players like Artest can make up for this shortcoming, they need a strong forward.Artest is now in the Rockets. After today's game, Jackson discussed with the uniform team to find a way to introduce Artest to the Lakers in the summer.Otherwise, it would be difficult to defend against players like Ye Feng and James.

Kobe was very dissatisfied with the defense inside, and yelled at Odom and Gasol a few times, telling them to pay attention to the defense.After shouting, he caught the ball again, used the cover to throw away Ye Feng, this time he directly pulled out his hand at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, and the ball was also made. 69 to 59.

Kobe has started the strongest scoring mode, no matter how he shoots, he is in good condition in the last few games, and the Lakers have won 5 consecutive victories.

Ye Feng was also difficult to guard against. When he got the ball in the low post and hit Odom, Fisher finally couldn't bear to go up to help defend. As soon as he passed, Ye Feng immediately passed the ball out of the outside line, Chalmer Si was the three-point champion in the McDonald's All-Star Game back then. No matter how rubbish the organization was, he still had the confidence to shoot. He shot from the outside and the ball went into the net. 72 to 59.

On the defensive end, Smith still failed to keep a close eye on Kobe. After the screen, Kobe led to the inside. Smith was called for a blocking foul without full body contact.

Smith's third personal foul, Thibodeau made a substitution, Wright came on and added a shot.

Wright ran to Ye Feng's side and said, "The coach asked you to guard against Odom and pick-and-rolls, and Kobe and I."
Ye Feng said seriously: "Follow up, look for an opportunity on the offensive end, and I will pass the ball to you."

The Lakers sent the ball out of bounds, and Ye Feng went inside.In addition to not being able to play point guard, he is also a jack-of-all-trades player now.Kobe didn't rely on cover any more. If he covered Ye Feng, he would match up with him. He was already somewhat afraid of Ye Feng's defense.Wright relies on talent and is not so easy to pass.Kobe dribbled the ball to the bottom line and couldn't get rid of it. He stopped and shot a fadeaway jumper, and the ball scored again. 72 to 61.

Ye Feng resolutely hit Odom, and everyone else stood still on the perimeter, not moving at all. This is a very unique feature of the Clippers. Four people wait for the opportunity to shoot without expending too much energy.

Odom, like those who were blown up in the previous games, couldn't stand it anymore. He thought he was still receiving the ball in one position, so he couldn't change his tricks?Even in football, the whole game can't be crosses from the bottom.

Ye Feng took the ball and turned his back to the inside for two steps. He took a big step with his left foot and turned around in the middle. With his right knee slightly bent, he shot a fallback jumper and used the "Golden Rooster Independent" that he often practiced. Odom missed the block .As soon as Ye Feng landed on the ground, he rushed forward and got Odom stuck behind him.The shot was too big, the ball was hit from the front, and the direction was also from the front. Ye Feng grabbed the offensive rebound and made a one-handed shot. 74 to 61.

Seeing this scene, Kobe was furious.The Lakers' defense did have problems in this game.He took the ball at 45 degrees outside the three-point line, raised his hand and shook it, Wright took a fake move, and he immediately dribbled the ball to break through the baseline.Ye Feng came back from the high position to defend, Kobe jumped up a large railing in the air, dodged the block, and flew to the other side of the basket with his right hand backhand. 74 to 63.

Kobe kept scoring, but the Lakers still couldn't catch up. Odom couldn't guard Ye Feng. Everyone knew that, but Kobe, who had been defending for a long time, no longer took the initiative to defend Ye Feng. He also knew that he couldn't guard Ye Feng.

And the Lakers can't double-team.Ariza double-teamed in the next round, and Ye Feng passed to the top of the arc again. Although Kobe defended, Wright still made a three-pointer and scored again! 77 to 63.

The Lakers requested a timeout.

Barkley said with a smile: "The situation of the Lakers is not good. The Clippers players are waiting for an opportunity when they are on the outside.

How should the Lakers adjust?Kobe went it alone again today.
