The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 16 [A stunning cap]

The Rockets asked for a timeout, and Adelman had to arrange a tactic to try to delay the time until the last moment and make a shot, leaving no chance for the Lakers to counterattack. As long as the ball is scored, they can win the game.If you don't make it, you will fight for extra time.

Jackson is also doing the final defensive deployment. "Radmanovich is off, Ye Feng is on. Odom is responsible for marking Battier, and Ye Feng is fighting inside. If they miss the shot and call a timeout after getting the backcourt rebound, the Rockets will probably choose to break through. Be careful not to foul when you make up defense."

Ye Feng was ordered in the face of danger, his heart was beating violently as if he had just finished running 100 meters.He has a deep understanding of why a star needs a big heart.At the end of the game, he felt nervous just in charge of defense, let alone those who executed the last shot?

Brian Cook's defense was too rubbish, and Kwame Brown made frequent mistakes at critical moments, so he couldn't be trusted. That's why Jackson decided to let Ye Feng play and let Odom play the small forward position.Believe in Ye Feng's defense, it is Jackson's courage.

In the commentary booth, Smith shouted into the microphone: "Are the audience ready? The car has already driven to the edge of the cliff! Is the Rockets killing the Lakers, or the Lakers dragging the game into overtime? If it goes into overtime, there is no doubt that The Lakers are even more favorable, Yao Ming only scored two points in the fourth quarter, and his physical strength is a little bit worse."

Yao Ming's biggest weakness is physical fitness. Playing for 40 minutes with his body consumes much more energy than other players. He is already out of breath and almost unable to play. Entering overtime, his power will be further reduced.

After checking the data, Barkley still targeted Kobe.Kobe Bryant has scored 43 points, and he still finds faults. "If Kobe's free throws were more accurate today, maybe the Lakers would have won this game. He got 25 free throw opportunities, but only hit 17. Today, as long as a Rocket player touches Kobe, he will be called a foul."

After the timeout ended, players from both sides entered the field. Seeing No. 74 appearing in the lineup, Barkley finally stopped criticizing Kobe and shouted surprise. "What's going on here? Could it be that 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 sees Ye Feng playing at this time, and I don't know how he will feel."

Yao Ming's only thought is that he hopes McGrady will throw this damn basketball.At the last moment, either you die or I die.A small mistake at this time will ruin the team's hard work all night. No one wants to lose at this juncture, if they want to sleep peacefully.

Ye Feng saw that the Rockets power forward was Chuck Hayes, and he was determined.Hayes is the wonder of the NBA, the shortest inside player, 198cm tall and often guest center.His role on the court must be to grab offensive rebounds. The Rockets can't let him execute the last shot unless Adelman is crazy.The other four are Alston, Tracy McGrady, Battier and Yao Ming, all of whom are likely to make a move.

Ye Feng was already thinking about that question.Will the Rockets let Battier take the final shot?Should I let Hayes go and cover Battier?This is a bold idea. If the Rockets really arranged for Battier to shoot, Ye Feng would be a hero if he defended him, but if the Rockets passed the ball, he would be a sinner if he misses someone or fails to protect the backboard.

He observed Battier's eyes, although firm, but not as if he was going to execute the last shot.And McGrady's eyes always seemed to be drunk, not waking up, and he couldn't see anything.

Ye Feng guessed wrong, Adelman's tactic was to let McGrady play singles after receiving the ball.McGrady has recovered his touch in the second half and scored 28 points. Kobe may not be able to guard him.

Ye Feng didn't know, he decided to take a gamble to defend Battier, he needed a chance to be a hero.

The game resumed with Battier serving the sideline.Yao Ming made an off-ball screen for McGrady. McGrady ran out of the three-point line and received the basketball. After the pick-and-roll, Yao Ming and Hayes both went to the low post, restraining the Lakers inside and preparing to grab offensive rebounds to make up the basket.Kobe bypassed Yao Ming and defended McGrady.

All the fans held their breath, and time seemed to slow down at this moment.Under the cover of Yao Ming, McGrady has already got a good chance to make a shot. Bynum didn't make up the defense and went back to the inside to follow Yao Ming.Bryant had a hard time blocking shots and disrupting when he was a step behind.It's a pity that McGrady hesitated. He felt that the shot was too early at this time, which would give the Lakers time to counterattack, so he feinted and chose to dribble.McGrady couldn't shake Kobe away after a few dribbles, and saw the opportunity to distribute the ball to the right.

Alston on the right screened Battier on the outside to block Odom. Physical confrontation is Alston's weakness. He is not suitable for pick-and-rolls, but as long as he can delay Odom for half a second, Battier He ran out of the three-point line and successfully received the basketball at a 45-degree angle. The person who defended him became Fisher.

There is a big difference in height between the two, and Battier immediately chose a dry pull-up jumper for a three-pointer with five seconds left.He has a good sense of rhythm in this shot, and he feels that he will definitely advance.

Battier saw the positive Odom, Fisher, but ignored the weak side.As soon as McGrady passed the ball, Ye Feng immediately let go of Hayes and rushed towards Battier from the baseline.If it was said that Battier's attention was on the shot, Ye Feng's attention had been on Battier since he came on the court.

Sure enough, he was going to vote, and I could catch up!Ye Feng took off with all his strength during the sprint... His intention was to block the shot, but when he jumped into the air, he found that his long arm was too close to the ball, so Battier saw a scene he will never forget, his shot was caught by Ye Feng with both hands Grabbed directly from the air.

There was a tidy exclamation from the audience.Not only the fans, even the players on the field stayed for several times.McGrady was stunned, Kobe threw away McGrady and ran towards the Rockets half court with only three seconds left.

As soon as Ye Feng hit the ground, he threw the ball towards Kobe with one hand. His passing skills are really bad, the ball is fast, and the pass is too low.Kobe hurried two steps, lowered his body to catch the basketball, turned around after a little adjustment, and threw the ball with one hand before aiming. The whistle of the end of the game just sounded, and the ball bounced into the basket head-on!
Lore! 94 to 92.

Kobe beat the Rockets at the buzzer!The Staples Arena was boiling, and the Rockets were 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 depressed person in the audience.He greeted Ye Feng before the game started, it was completely a chat between the big brother and the rookie.Yao Ming encouraged Ye Feng to play hard and to be confident, Ye Feng laughed at himself that it was difficult to get a chance to play.But after the game, Yao Ming desperately scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, which was not as valuable as Ye Feng's big hat, and all the limelight was robbed.

The Lakers were behind almost the entire game, but they dramatically reversed at the last moment and got a good start to the season.The substitute players rushed into the field together, surrounded Ye Feng, and slapped him on the back. Odom pressed his head and rubbed it.Odom is the most excited, if this ball is thrown by Battier, he will take great responsibility.

I really blocked Battier and assisted Kobe's lore?Ye Feng still can't believe this is real, recalling the scene just now, he felt that he was really awesome.

The attack screen just now was played repeatedly on the big screen in the stadium.The moment McGrady passed the ball, Ye Feng started to start, and before Battier made a shot, he had already taken off in advance.This is not an accident, but a planned defense with excellent anticipation.

Jackson walked to Ye Feng's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said lightly: "Good defense."

If the match is won, Ye Feng will have nothing to lose.Winning results are more important than executing tactics.

Kobe also came to Ye Feng's side, and said with a smile: "You did well, the coach should really give you more playing time."

"Thank you." Both the coach and the team boss said good things, and he believed that it would be better in the future.

Surrounded by the players, Ye Feng returned to the locker room and received a congratulatory phone call from Gabriela. He chatted on the phone for a while, entered the bathroom late, came out after taking a shower, and found that many reporters had already entered the locker room room, and he only wrapped a bath towel around his lower body...

These reporters were all here to interview Ye Feng, and the cameras were all aimed at him, shooting randomly.

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

"At the last moment of the game, you played such a wonderful block, is it the coach's arrangement?"

"Helping the Lakers win the first game, what do you think?"

"Winning the Chinese Derby, how do you feel?"

Ye Feng held the bath towel in one hand, pointed to the camera closest to him with the other, and said, "My feeling is, can this camera be kept far away from my crotch? Please wait until I put on my clothes before interviewing you? I feel like I'm making a tertiary film."

The teammates laughed. Ye Feng took his clothes back to the bathroom and put them on. He sat on a chair and accepted the reporters' interviews, answering questions patiently. He felt like he became famous.

Talking about his thoughts, Ye Feng said: "The person I want to defend is Hayes. He doesn't have much offensive ability. At that time, I saw Battier was open and felt that he was going to shoot, so I defended him. My idea was to block the ball. Guy, unexpectedly, the timing of the jump was just right, so he grabbed the ball, maybe God wants us to win this game."

A Chinese reporter asked: "Win the Chinese Derby, are you happy?"

"Everyone praises me too much. Yao Ming is an All-Star player, and I'm just a substitute for a substitute 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 relationship between me and Yao Ming The gap can't be measured, he was dominant in the paint today."

Ye Feng took the opportunity to praise Yao Ming, but he was secretly laughing.He had already asked for Yao Ming's phone number, saying that we would have dinner together when he was free, and he was going to send a text message to comfort Yao Ming's wounded heart.
