The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 227 [The clipper lifts off and leaps over the sun]

Barkley looked at the data and said: "The Suns' interior defense has always been weak. When the 76ers played against the Suns last season, Camby scored 28 points. Ye Feng's style of play is the nemesis of the Suns. It depends on how much the two sides can play." If Ye Feng plays enough time, I think he will score more than 60 points."

Kenny Smith said: "The Suns are not the only team that Ye Feng restrains. This year, the entire league has begun to study how to defend him. This is only his third season. If he can keep his scoring momentum, he may break many scoring records in the future. And Durant, who is at the same level as him, averaged 27 points per game this season, and the future may belong to both of them."

Barkley said with a smile: "The two of them are not competing. Unless Durant kills Ye Feng, the Thunder will never win the Clippers. Durant and Ye Feng entered the NBA together, just like I met Jordan back then. It's unfortunate that when Ye Feng retires, Durant will also be old."

Kenny Smith was surprised: "Do you think Ye Feng can be compared with Jordan?"

Barkley said seriously: "Of course not now, but who knows how many championship rings he will win in the future? The Clippers may win the championship this year."

After the Suns strengthened their defense, Ye Feng still scored inside twice.Eight minutes into the first quarter, the Suns made a substitution.Frye had to be replaced for the second foul and was replaced by Amundson.

The Clippers also made substitutions. McGee replaced Curry, and Ye Feng switched to the 2nd position and went to the outside to mix.McGee's height of 213cm also has an advantage over Amundson's 206cm.

The Clippers only lead by 30 points from 26 to 4.According to the current shooting percentage of both sides, the score in the first quarter may reach 40.

McGee is tall, but not slow, which ensures the speed of offensive and defensive transitions.He involved defense in the low post, and Edmondson could only stay inside.Defending Ye Feng became Richardson's job.

Kidd still hit the ball to Ye Feng.He dribbled the ball from the outside to the right, stopped and jumped at 45 degrees. Richardson had had enough of him last season and immediately jumped to block the shot.With Ye Feng's height and wingspan advantages, if he jumps slowly, he won't be able to cover it.

But Ye Feng didn't make a shot, he pushed the ball to the low McGee from the side, and rushed to the baseline immediately after landing.This was planned for him, he didn't take off with all his strength, landed faster than Richardson, and slipped off the bottom line in an instant.

McGee handed the ball into his hands, Ye Feng caught the ball and drove into the penalty area, Amundson didn't block the breakthrough route, Ye Feng's speed was too fast and the distance was too short, if he forcibly blocked the breakthrough route, it would be considered as a dribble If he hits someone, he will also be hit badly, and this kind of ball is rarely judged as a charge with the ball.

As soon as Ye Feng entered the basket, it was impossible for Amundson to defend him.The difference in jumping ability between the two was too great, so he didn't jump at all, and watched Ye Feng turn his head back and smash the ball into the basket with his backhand. With 22 points, Ye Feng scored the fourth dunk in a single quarter.

Without Frye, the Suns' offense is also flawed.If all 5 players can shoot, it will be difficult for the Suns to be defended under Nash's organization. Now the Clippers can release Amundson and mainly defend Stoudemire. This change allows the Suns to make several shots.

The Clippers' offensive power remains the same.Ye Feng hit Richardson with 198 cm, and used a dry pull jumper to take 4 shots and hit 26 goals.He felt good again today, scoring 3 points, 2 rebounds and 41 assists in a single quarter.The data of many people in one game is completed in one quarter.But the Suns were not bad either. Barbosa, who came off the bench, hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, and the Clippers only led 38 to 3 by [-] points.

During the timeout, Barkley and Smith discussed what Solar could achieve this year.Their style of play is to drink dove to quench their thirst or delicious fried rice?

Nash and Stoudemire's mobile pick-and-roll seems to be unsolvable. Stoudemire's moving speed is undoubtedly much faster than Love, and Nash's precise pass is also difficult to defend. This is an extremely headache for the Clippers right now.If O'Neal occupies space at the basket, it will be inconvenient for Richardson and Hill to cut inside, and the Clippers will be easier to defend.

The Clippers are the better offensive team. The Suns are only three points behind. Most of the time, they defend Ye Feng alone and guard against others in exchange.Curry didn't play well in the first quarter, didn't score a point, and only sent one assist.The Clippers hit an astonishing 70% shooting rate. If the Suns' defense cannot be significantly improved, it is still a dead end.

In the second quarter, the Suns replaced Robin Lopez, Earl Clark, Dudley, Barbosa, and Dragic.The Clippers replaced Gortat, McGee, Smith, Tony Allen, and Barea.

Except for Barea, the Clippers are all good defensive players.It's still man-to-man, with McGee on Lopez and Gortat on Clark.

Clark is 208cm tall and swings between positions 3 and 4. The Suns have high hopes for him, but his shooting is unstable.

The Clippers still had the upper hand in the second team, with Smith and Allen defending the outside line, Allen followed Barbosa, and Dragic was handed over to Barea.Another two tall players with extraordinary jumping ability blocked shots inside, and the Suns' offensive momentum was contained.The Clippers' offense relies on the pick-and-rolls of Barea and Smith, and the Suns can't defend against this move well.Both post players were involved in the defense in the low post, and Gortat also hit Clark twice and hit a ball.

No team in the league has a more perfect bench lineup than the Clippers, which is their biggest reliance on defeating the enemy.

Barkley said with a smile: "Smith's entry into the bench lineup is the biggest change for the Clippers this year. The effect is obvious. Originally, he and Ye Feng did have some overlapping positions. Now he can be the core of the second team. Whether he breaks through the pick-and-roll or Barry Ya rely on the pick-and-roll to break through, which can make the Suns defense tight. Last season, people said that Ye Feng’s teammates were bad, but now they are not bad. The people with the highest annual salary are all on the bench. The most powerful bench in the league is the Clippers.”

Kenny Smith said: "Barns and Thornton haven't played yet, and they may be sent up later. Compared with the Suns, the Clippers also have an advantage in physical strength."

Barkley said with a smile: "It is said that Ye Feng participated in the selection of the Clippers. Most of his teammates were selected by him. At that time, the media also said that Thibodeau was a puppet. Brown, who was called a puppet last year, became the best coach. , Thibodeau is about to become the best coach this year. Why are the puppets so good?"

Kenny Smith laughed out loud. "If the selection is really according to his requirements, then he is too good."

The Clippers are blooming more, and the Suns only Barbosa can break through and score.He played beautifully, and Tony Allen had a hard time guarding him.

In the second half of last season, Barbosa was almost at the peak of his career.Prior to this, the career of the Brazilian was: two years of obscurity; under D'Antoni, he became a Brazilian Lightning, a super assaulter; he got carried away in the playoffs in 2007; he fell back in the 2007-08 season; the first half of the 2008-09 season Imprisoned by Potter; Gentley showed his power after taking power.Up to now, he is still the best sixth man in the Suns.

But Barbosa alone can't do the Clippers. The Suns were forced to take the lead in substitutions, sending Stoudemire and Nash.The Clippers did not make any substitutions, and the substitutes dealt with the Suns for 3 minutes, still maintaining a 5-point lead.The main attackers were Gortat and Smith.

Stoudemire focused on everything about the Suns -- strengths and weaknesses.

Because of him, people have expectations for the sun.His face-to-basket jumpers, cuts and basket attacks are undoubtedly the best in the league.But he and Fry would allow each other to come and go in and out of the restricted area like a public restroom after the toll collector fell asleep.It's weird that he has the size, the bounce, the quick reflexes, the size, but he just can't guard.

After that, the Clippers sent the main force, and the Suns fell behind even more.At halftime, the score was 73 to 63.

At this time, Gentry knew very well that the strength of the Clippers had surpassed the Suns by a lot, and they could not win this game at all.The smooth offense in the first quarter was because the Clippers did not deploy their best defensive players and there were holes in the lineup.They dared to fight like this because they were too confident.

Ye Feng scored 34 points in the first half, but Thibodeau didn't plan to let him play for too long. With strong teammates, he didn't need to go all out to attack.

For this reason, Thibodeau discussed with Ye Feng in the locker room. If Ye Feng wanted to break the scoring record again, he would also express his support.Ye Feng didn't want to score points with a big lead, and proposed to play the third quarter with all his strength. If the lead exceeded 20 points, he would stop attacking and leave the opportunity to play to his teammates. The Clippers had too many players and played too much time. Short is not conducive to the growth of newcomers.

In the second half, the Clippers sent the strongest lineup in Thibodeau's mind, Love, Smith, Ye Feng, Barnes, and Kidd.

The characteristic of this lineup is the balance of offense and defense. Smith and Ye Feng played pick-and-roll cooperation, forming a double ghost attack on the basket.There are three pitchers on the outside, Love, Kidd, and Barnes.Although the three of them are not particularly accurate, with Ye Feng attracting the defensive focus, it is not difficult to get open opportunities.

The biggest feature of this lineup is defense. The height is relatively average. Kidd and Barnes can interfere with the shooting of the Suns inside players after being misplaced. Ye Feng does not need much effort to defend Hill.Love resisted inside and Smith blocked the shot.

In the third quarter, the Suns could only shoot from the outside and couldn't hit the basket at all.It's impossible for a team to win without a low post offense.Ye Feng can guarantee efficient pick-and-roll breakthroughs and low-post attacks.

Gentry called a timeout and arranged a defense against Ye Feng. Kidd scored two three-pointers from the outside and Barnes also made a goal.The score was pulled apart at once.Ye Feng scored 16 points in a single quarter, and the Clippers entered the fourth quarter with a 24-point advantage.

Ye Feng was replaced, and Thornton, who was full of strength, was sent to take on the heavy responsibility of attacking with the ball. Although he was a substitute, Thibodeau gave him unlimited firing rights.Curry served as the point guard in this quarter, and the Clippers focused their offense on the outside again.The two rookie guards also had the upper hand against Barbosa and Dragic. Thin body is not a problem. Compared with the two guards of the Suns, they do not suffer from weight and have an advantage in height.

Nash and Stoudemire played 4 minutes in the fourth quarter and failed to recover the score, and both were replaced.Ye Feng has been watching from the sidelines.

The Clippers defeated the Suns 135 to 115 and won a three-game winning streak, scoring more than 110 points in three consecutive games.They were the top five defensive teams in the league last season, and this season they have transformed into the strongest offensive firepower.

叶锋只打了31分钟就得到50分6篮板6助攻的超级数据，快船6人得分上双。

The Clippers are no longer an upset dark horse. As Barkley commented, they began to look like a spaceship that lifted off and couldn't stop.
