The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 174 [Three-point buzzer with applause from the audience]

89 to 92, although Ye Feng scored more points, the Clippers entered the fourth quarter behind by 3 points.His teammates didn't score, and he was given the chance to shoot alone.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers' offense was still the old routine. The Jazz switched to a 122-zone defense. As soon as Ye Feng got the ball, Miles took the main defense and Deron assisted in the defense. They emptied Tony Allen, who lacked three-point ability.

Thanks to the usual ball-grabbing training, two guards stepped forward to interfere, Ye Feng was able to keep the ball in a short period of time, but the shooting rhythm was not easy to grasp, he forced the shot twice.The third passed the ball to Tony Allen, who made an open shot.

The Jazz replaced Boozer and Okur in the fourth quarter, and Kirilenko had a rest for four fouls.All the players on the field were energetic substitutes. Seeing that Thibodeau had a strong defense, he also replaced Ye Feng. His score was still fixed at 61.

Sitting on the sidelines, Ye Feng took a few sips of water and quietly regained his strength.Now he has changed his views. Not all top scorers can score 81 points, even if they are allowed to take unlimited shots.To get a high score, in addition to personal ability, shooting touch, and physical strength, you also need amazing perseverance and determination.

The defensive intensity is high, and he can't help but want to ask his teammates for help.It is too difficult to make a strong shot under strict defense, and it is even more awkward if a teammate has an open space on the side and does not pass the ball. That feeling is uncomfortable and depressing.Only those who never score too much and don't want to pass the ball at all can shoot non-stop.

Ye Feng started to feel tired after fighting till now.He knew that he took more shots this time than when he played against the Suns. In that game he combined passing and individual singles, and this time he hardly passed the ball a few times.The opponent took advantage of his chance to hit the iron and organized several beautiful counterattacks to catch up with the score.He felt a little guilty when he thought that he might set a new blacksmithing record.

Thibodeau said softly, "Are you tired?"

Ye Feng said lightly: "It's okay. But how should I break their outside double-team, should I go low?"

Thibodeau smiled: "I suggest you pass the ball, play in the normal way, and make a strong shot after the score is ahead."

To break the double-team, there is really no better way than passing the ball.Ye Feng's current style of play is unreasonable. If he continues to do this, he may lose this game. It's ironic that he scored so many points but lost.

Ye Feng sighed and said, "Then I'll pass the ball later."

Thibodeau said lightly: "I will send pitchers in a while to fight with them. If you relax, it doesn't matter if you win or lose."

Don't worry about winning or losing, the conversation between the two is very easy.

Five minutes into the fourth quarter, the score was 5 to 98, and the Clippers trailed by 103 points.

Ye Feng had enough rest, Thibodeau requested a timeout and changed his tactics.Love, Ye Feng, Wright, Morrow, and Chalmers were sent.Ye Feng led four shooters to play a triangle offense. At this time, let the Jazz choose whether to double-team Ye Feng or defend the outside shooter.

The Jazz will try their best to win this game. They are only one game away from the Nuggets. After winning this game, they will play against the underdog Warriors in the next game.The Nuggets will fight the Celtics this time, and then play the Spurs next game. Two consecutive losses are also possible.The Jazz want to fight for No.3, so they will meet the sixth-ranked Trail Blazers and avoid encountering the Spurs in the first round.

No matter how old the Spurs are, they still have the background of being a champion. No one wants to meet them in the first round. The Blazers are also the dark horses of this season. With young players at their core and lack of experience in the playoffs, they are much easier to deal with.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.Thibodeau finally sent a pitcher to throw the pressure on the Jazz.And scoring more points in the last quarter made Ye Feng even more great, with high data content.As for the Clippers' reduced defensive ability in the fourth quarter, how many points they lost, and how many viewers are there to get to the bottom of it?Thibodeau is cunning, and he has already programmed the script.

If they continue to double-team Ye Feng and make outside shots, the Clippers may win this game.The Jazz's offense is very sharp, but their starters have been playing for too long, their physical strength has declined, and Boozer and Okur are running slower.

After playing, Sloan also made substitutions. Boozer, Okur, Kirilenko, and Miles came on, ready for the final decisive battle.

At the start of the game, the Clippers had the ball, and Ye Feng went to the low post on the right to ask for the ball. Chalmers handed it to Wright, and Wright lobbed it to Ye Feng. , Preventing his 45-degree shots and back shots.Ye Feng passed the ball, and Wright moved to a 50-degree angle and hit a three-point jumper. 101 to 103.

Jazz offense, Deron did not rely on the pick-and-roll, singles Chalmers, turned around and hit a throw, 101 to 105.

The Clippers still played the same way. Morrow was in the right corner, and the low-post Ye Feng and Wright at 60 degrees formed a triangle. Wright hoisted the ball into the inside.

Ye Feng caught the ball and took it out, Kirilenko hesitated to double-team, Ye Feng and Boozer opened the distance, dribbled the ball with his right hand and handed it to the left hand to walk in the middle, strode into the penalty area with his left leg, bent his right leg and leaned back, He resorted to the "Golden Rooster Independence" starting gesture.Kirilenko rushed forward to block the shot from behind.After jumping up, Ye Feng passed the ball to Wright again.

Miles let go of Morrow to block Wright, who took a step forward and passed the ball to the corner.Morrow made a three-pointer from the bottom line, and the ball went hollow into the net. 104 to 105.

This season, Wright and Morrow are practicing shooting every day. They don't need to work hard for other things, and they are very confident in the open space.

At this time, he actually passed the ball and didn't care about the scoring data.If the Clippers are allowed to open the outside line now, the game will be difficult to play.Sloan took a deep breath, what he was most afraid of was Ye Feng passing the ball.If he fights for the data and goes all out to attack, the Jazz can boldly double-team, as long as they can win, it doesn't matter if Ye Feng gets a high score.Now as soon as he passes the ball, he disrupts the Jazz's plan.The only choice is to double-team Ye Feng or defend against others.

Deron passed the ball, Kirilenko ran back and left Wright, and then caught the basketball in the air. 104 to 107.

The Clippers still called Ye Feng, the low post on the right.The Jazz's defense has not dared to compress too much. With three outside shooters, Love has been pulled to a high position, and there is no one who can let go.

There was no double-teaming in this round, Ye Feng singled Kirilenko with the ball, stepped back and quickly raised the ball with both hands, Kirilenko took off with all his strength to block the block, but Ye Feng did not jump, after shaking him, he jumped head-on Going up, hit the ball and threw the ball with one hand at the same time, the ball missed, but caused a foul.

Ye Feng made two free throws. 106 to 107, scored the 63rd personal point, the important thing is that Kirilenko committed 5.

The Jazz had to replace Korver.Deron dribbled through, and Chalmers defended hard, but he still couldn't stand him.After Deron turned around and made a breakthrough, he attracted the defense to Okur. Okur missed a three-point jumper.Ye Feng grabbed the rebound from the backcourt and hugged him tightly. Since he was playing the 4th position, he had to do what he should do and not be in a hurry to make a quick break.

Ye Feng still went to the low post to attack, and Boozer defended from behind.Now it's a contest of willpower on both sides, and both have been fighting for a long time.

After receiving the ball, Ye Feng dribbled with his back twice, and no one came up to double-team him, so he immediately felt relieved.Move the ball outward, open the distance with the face frame, dribble the ball twice in a row, move the ball to the right on the first dribble, hand the ball to the left hand on the second dribble and withdraw to open the distance, avoid the block 45-degree emergency stop jumper, wipe the board Go in. 108 to 107 overtook the score and scored his 65th point.

The Jazz were in a dilemma, double-teamed outside pitchers, and Ye Feng would play singles without double-teaming. Sloan requested a timeout.

Sloan called the team together and made a decision. "Let's double-team Ye Feng, don't let him score again, let the high-post Love, don't let him score more than 70 this time, if the outside players can make shots, then we will admit it. The success rate of the offense is guaranteed, and we still have a chance to win. of."

Even if you lose, you have to save face. This is Sloan's idea.

The game restarted, Deron broke through and scored, Boozer played Love in the low post, turned around and hit a jumper, 108 to 109.

On the defensive end, Boozer fought against Ye Feng in the low post, making it difficult for Ye Feng to turn around, and Miles stepped forward to double-team.It was unwise for Ye Feng to play forcefully at this time, he chose to pass the ball, and Love made a high shot. 110 to 109.

The frontcourt of the Jazz was still covered by the pick-and-roll of Deron and Okur. After Deron scored the ball, Okur hoisted the ball into the inside again.The Jazz overtook the score again, and Boozer had already scored 110 points.

Next, the Jazz resolutely double-teamed Ye Feng, and Love, who was emptied, got a lot of shots, but the Jazz's offensive efficiency was not bad, and the score was not pulled.

Seeing that Ye Feng couldn't score, Thibodeau replaced Gortat and Smith in charge of the screen, and Ye Feng returned to the 4th position.

Under the cover of his teammates, Ye Feng made 5 of 2 shots from the high position, and his personal score reached 69 points, tying Michael Jordan's record, but his efficiency was not high. Love scored 10 points in a single quarter, and his performance was very eye-catching. .The Clippers led 118 to 115 by three points.

In 27.8 seconds, Deron took possession of the ball and launched an attack. Boozer missed a jumper under Smith's defense, and Love scored a backboard.Chalmers took the ball to the frontcourt, controlled the rhythm and passed it to Ye Feng in the last 8 seconds.Let him make the last attack.As long as this goal is scored, he can enter the 70+ club.

All the fans stood up and cheered for Ye Feng, shouting loudly, everyone hoped that he could score more than 70 points.Although not as good as Kobe's 81, it is still very rare and is the highest score in history.Jazz Miles and Boozer double-team together, Ye Feng forced a fadeaway jumper from the right side, the ball missed, Okur grabbed the backboard and passed it to Deron.

There were only 4 seconds left before the end of the game. Sloan didn't call a timeout. He felt very tired. It didn't matter if he lost the game like this. At least Ye Feng didn't let Ye Feng score 70+ points. He had achieved his goal. 69 points is also very high, but it took nearly 50 shots to win, which is not efficient.

Sloan wanted to give up in his heart, but the game was not over yet, and Deron passed it to Korver, who was about to play.Korver has been "playing soy sauce" in the second half and didn't score a point.After he caught the ball, he made a strong shot a few meters away from the three-point line. Smith didn't block the shot.

The ball drew a beautiful arc, hollowed into the net, and the final whistle sounded immediately. 118 levels!The Staples Arena was boiling, and the fans all stood up and cheered for Korver, as if the Jazz were their home team. The Jazz tied with a three-pointer at the buzzer, and the game entered overtime, and Ye Feng could continue to score.
