The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 160 [Star Whistle, Liubulang]

Ye Feng clenched his arms and let out a loud roar, yelling out the resentment of being blocked by 0 to 8.Blocking LeBron James, the fans booed him, and now he dunked Ilgauskas again, and caused 2+1, and the boos on the court were even louder.

Ye Feng stood at the free throw line, and after making an extra free throw, it was 3-8.

Returning to defense, Ye Feng shouted: "Defense, pay attention to switch defenses, don't miss anyone again."

LeBron's face turned cold, "Big Z" was detained, and he had to pay back.Mo Williams took the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to LeBron. Ye Feng immediately clung to him, almost hugging him.

LeBron dribbles the ball horizontally, and Ye Feng follows him everywhere.During the training camp of the Dream 8 team, he had seen Ye Feng's close defense, which was difficult to break through.The reason why he was better than Ye Feng in the training camp was because there was always someone covering him.Aldridge and the point guard were the ones on the pick-and-roll team for the training team, and Ye Feng didn't have the ball.All players who play pick-and-roll and attack with the ball, as long as they have the ability to shoot, can get good data.

This way of defending consumes a lot of stamina, but Ye Feng has no choice.After playing a few rounds, he knew that he had to do his best in this game, even if he was exhausted, he would admit it, even if he lost, it couldn't be this game.

LeBron relied on Ilgauskas' screen to escape, and Smith defended.LeBron made a bulldozer-style dribble, and carried Smith on his left shoulder to the inside. Smith's physique was also very strong, and he followed all the way to the baseline without losing his position.LeBron stopped and turned around and shot quickly, avoiding the block, but the shot missed.Gortat grabbed the backcourt rebound against Wallace.

If Wallace goes to the high position to screen, he only picks but does not roll, and he will be easily emptied. The Cavaliers will not let this happen. The task of covering is given to Ilgauskas. After the "Big Z" pick-and-roll is over, he can hit the mid-range shot. This is his main scoring method this season.

The Clippers counterattacked, Ye Feng relied on Gortat's screen to throw off LeBron, and Wallace came to make up the defense again, Ye Feng accelerated with the ball, with full explosive power, went from the right to the bottom line, relying on speed and Wallace to pull After a little distance, the crotch moved horizontally to a 45-degree angle, and the jumper made a handball and scored! 5 to 8.

Wallace's bullet speed is not as good as before, and he can't cover Ye Feng, so he can only defend by closing his eyes.Ye Feng is no longer afraid of blocking his eyes to defend. In team training, he mainly practices this. He knows that no one has ever dared to poke his hand into the opponent's eyes.

The Clippers have accelerated their rotation. Before the game, they had fully studied the Cavaliers, mainly defending against Mo Williams and James. Wallace can relax his defense.Mo Williams also missed a jumper, and Gortat grabbed the backboard.

Ye Feng continued to rely on screens to hit Wallace on the offensive end. This time, he passed the ball to Dorell Wright who ran to the right corner.Wright is 206cm tall, while West is only 191cm, plus the wingspan, the advantage is obvious.Put him on the court just to shoot with his height advantage.

Wright lived up to expectations and made a strong three-pointer without fear of West's interference, 8 to 8.

Ye Feng clapped hands with Wright forcefully. "You did a good job, you catch the ball and shoot boldly, I'll grab the rebound for you."

As Wade's backup in the Heat, Wright had to do a lot of work. Now he just shoots three-pointers and fully utilizes his own characteristics. The more he plays, the more confident he becomes.Although the data this season is only 7.6 points and 2.7 rebounds, it is on the rise. He is better at scoring than Barnes.

Ye Feng played against Wallace, and it took a lot of effort to fight against LeBron, but Wright could rely on his height advantage to shoot directly, making outside shots is a good choice.

Seeing that the Clippers had tied the score, LeBron was finally about to make a move.Under the cover of Ilgauskas, he caught the ball and threw away Ye Feng, and moved laterally with the ball. Smith spotted the step and stood at his third step, ready to take off and block the shot.However, LeBron took the extra step, got to the basket, and made a four-step dunk. 8 to 10.The referee didn't blow, strike.

Four-step layup?That's right, the "crab walk" has shown its power.It's one of LeBron's trademarks, and he's still using it despite objections from the rest of the league.

By this year, the NBA has praised LeBron very highly, but if you look closely, you will find that walking has become a part of his playing in the past two years. If he does not walk in the game, people even doubt whether he can still perform normally.

As a superstar, how did he practice this basic skill?Usually, if a player accidentally takes four steps, he will feel awkward. The first reaction is usually "I'm sorry I took a walk", but LeBron doesn't feel awkward at all, and he walks smoothly. , The righteousness is lingering, the clouds are flowing, the eyes are blatant, and they are unscrupulous.Hearing other people's doubts, he will confidently explain "I am a crab step".

LeBron's ball-collecting action was done before taking the first step, instead of taking the first step while collecting the ball, and then took two steps to take off. Of course, this is an extra step.The key to the referee's penalty is to see when LeBron receives the ball. As long as the action is coherent, he will not blow, and the referee's tacit permission has been obtained.

Regardless of walking, in the final analysis, the "superstar whistle" is at work.

The once sensational NBA gambling referee Tim Donaghy said in an interview with the media that the NBA is already a secret "superstar whistle" that "everyone knows", and what he mentioned was Kobe Bryant, the head of the Lakers who is in full swing. special.He declared: "The NBA instructed the referees that some fouls that would not be whistled in other games should be punished on Kobe, so Kobe was always surrounded by favorable whistles. I know that basically Kobe will often get free throws. Even if the opponent just blew on him."

Compared with Kobe, the treatment enjoyed by LeBron is unprecedented and unprecedented.His super strong body already has the advantage in the game. In order to protect his offense, the league basically does not call him an offensive foul. Changing the line, directly adopting the hard collision breakthrough method to go on the rampage, anyway, the referee will not call an offensive foul, and on this basis, add "crab step"...

The Cavaliers have a few home games, it's like a few referee fathers pampering their own fart children, the children come as they are happy.Ye Feng felt that when LeBron ran to the Big Three in the Heat group, the Mavericks got rid of them. It was purely because what he did a few years ago was too damaging to his character. win the championship.

Before the start of the game, the Clippers specifically studied how to defend against James' moves. This guy generally has the following moves.

One is to take the first step with the right foot after a breakthrough from the right, followed by a three-step layup with the left heel, but he takes the first step and then takes two quick steps, landing on both feet Taking off for a layup, Ye Feng also tried it during training, exactly four steps.As long as you follow his steps accurately, you can still block the block at the last stroke.

The other is jumping breakthroughs. The movement is coherent during dribbling breakthroughs. Jumping steps are absolutely allowed by the league. It can be seen that James always dribbles and jumps through breakthroughs, and then takes a step... This kind of follow-up can also be defended, as long as Just don't jump up and block the shot immediately after he jumps.

There is also an unsolvable stunt on the court, because he has lost count of how many steps he has taken.After receiving the ball, run three steps before dribbling the ball for the first time. This action directly throws off the defender. They are all basketball players. It is too difficult to prevent him from playing rugby.In addition, in the 2007 season, in the series between the Eastern Cavaliers and the Pistons, James broke through with the ball, rushed into the penalty area, passed 4 players in a row, walked horizontally like a crab, and finally scored a layup.However, this attack took as many as 6 steps, and the referee turned a blind eye and ruled that the attack was effective. Since then, the nickname of "Liubulang" has spread.

Research is easy, but defense is difficult. LeBron still scored a lot of points in the first quarter.

LeBron always used the screen to throw off the defense, rush to the basket or shoot or shoot, and made crab steps many times.Towards the end of the first quarter, Gortat was furious and defended under the basket, almost hitting LeBron's shoulders with both hands and pulling him down from the air.

This kind of foul usually kills and seriously injures people, but it doesn't work for LeBron. He stands up immediately.There was some confusion on the field, with boos from the audience.The referee blew Gortat for a malicious foul, and Thibodeau hurriedly replaced the "Polish Hammer" who was out of control.The Cavaliers made two free throws.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led 30 to 22 by 8 points. LeBron's outstanding performance was only one aspect, and the Cavaliers' defense was really tight.

勒布朗首节就拿下了11分4篮板4助攻，奔着三双去了。叶锋得到了9分2篮板1助攻。

In the second quarter, both sides sent substitutes, and the Clippers replaced Love, Hayes, Barnes, Morrow, and Barea.

The Cavaliers replaced Varejao, Hickson, Szczerbiak, Pavlovic, and Gibson.

Love played well, making two jump shots after the pick-and-roll, and assisted Morrow to hit a three-pointer. Barea also made a breakthrough jumper, and the Clippers quickly recovered the score.The Cavaliers have no shortage of outside shooters, but there is no organizer on the field. The offense in the second quarter was a bit messy. They did not score a single sports game in 4 minutes, but Varejao and Szczerbiak scored 4 points with free throws.

Off the court, Thibodeau called Gortat to his side and gave him a thought lesson. "Ma Xin, you must calm down, and you must restrain your actions when you go on the court. You can't foul any more maliciously. It's good to be tough, but we need you to stay on the court."

Gortat sighed: "Coach, I'm sorry, I just think this game is too dark, those are obvious moves. If the Cavaliers rely on this 21-game winning streak at home, it's disgusting."

In Europe, the penalty for walking is very strict. This is the darkest game Gortat has encountered since he joined the Clippers.

The referee will make some misjudgments in every game. It seems that the impact on the trend of the game is not great. In fact, several offensive deviations will have a great impact on the psychology of the players, especially young players.

LeBron can be praised as an "emperor", but he will always be a questionable person.
