The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 278 [Strive to attack, play away game]

After the game, Thibodeau said that the Clippers lost because of a problem with the offense, the role players failed to stand up to help Ye Feng, and many shots that should be made failed to make.

In the interview, Ye Feng only said that it was a pity that the Celtics played better in this game.

The Clippers scored less than 90 points. The Celtics' defense really worked.However, the Clippers' offense cannot be opened, which is more of a "self-defeating martial arts".

Thibodeau is not a coach who is good at arranging offensive tactics. The Clippers played well in the regular season and the first three rounds of the playoffs, which has a lot to do with the reuse of Curry and Thornton. Now these two are pushed on the bench , only got very little playing time.Tony Allen and Barnes played a lot of time, and their defense was good, but their offense didn't play much role.

On the 9th, the third game of the finals will be held in Boston.

The Clippers had a day off, and Ye Feng went to the arena to discuss tactics with the coaching staff for two hours.If it's an away game, the Clippers' role players will be in trouble if they still can't find the touch.If you can't make an outside shot, the Celtics players can help defend Ye Feng.

Thibodeau wants to use the similar football tactics that Ye Feng came up with to break the Celtics' zone defense. The Celtics don't let Perkins play, and the low-post defense has shortcomings. The Clippers can use pick-and-rolls to let Ye Feng Playing against Rasheed Wallace, or directly letting McGee try to use his physical advantage in the low post to single Rasheed, this has an advantage.

In addition, Ye Feng also proposed to reuse Curry and Thornton to strengthen the offense.In the zone defense system, there is no need for a particularly strong single defense ability. After Curry plays, he can defend Rondo and let Kidd defend Ray Allen, so that there will be no obvious defensive loopholes.At the same time, the bench lineup can also send Barea to play.The Celtics rushed to assign the 175cm Nate Robinson. Of course, the Clippers can also send a small one to attack the Celtics inside. In contrast, Barea has a more obvious advantage.Because the Celtics' inside bench is slower and not good at preventing pick-and-roll breakthroughs.

As long as he played with his own characteristics, Ye Feng didn't think the Clippers would lose. If he tried his best to defend, he fell into the rhythm of the Celtics, which was not good for the Clippers. They should strengthen their offense.

The Celtics lost Posey, Tony Allen, and Bowie, and added Nate Robinson and Rasheed Wallace. Generally speaking, the defense was weaker than in 2008, and the offense was slightly stronger.As long as the Clippers dare to attack, they should be able to grasp their weaknesses.

Ariel also flew to Boston to cheer Ye Feng on the spot.

When they arrived in Boston, the Clippers stayed in the hotel in a low-key manner to rest, recharge their batteries and prepare for the game. The next day, the players went to the training ground for adaptive training, mainly to practice tactical running. The basic tactics to play during the game.

The atmosphere in Boston is completely different from the regular season. There are posters everywhere. The fans hope that the home team can beat the Clippers 4-1 and win the championship at home. They attach great importance to every game.

Two hours before the start of the game, a large number of fans had gathered in the square outside the arena, holding up various slogans to cheer for the team.What is more distinctive is a fan who walks his dog wearing Pierce's jersey. This kind of support is really eye-opening.

There are many fans playing the slogan "4 to 1". The Celtics have grabbed a victory in the away game, and the future is bright.They have three consecutive home games, and as long as they win two, they can win the battle of Tianwangshan and get the match point.If they win the first two games and lead 3-1, the Clippers are basically done.

The news media is also very interesting. When the Clippers won their first victory, the media agreed that they had already touched the championship trophy with one hand.After losing the second game, the media felt that the Clippers were in danger.

You can't listen to the words of experts, they are basically an afterthought.If you win, you will look for benefits, if you lose, you will look for disadvantages. If gamblers listen to the experts, the only end is that they will lose all their money.

In the evening, when the Clippers players came out, the audience booed in unison, and someone shouted at Ye Feng at the player tunnel: "Get out of here! Damn Orientals! You will lose very ugly!"

Ye Feng didn't even raise his eyelids, he was always too lazy to respond to unqualified fans.No matter how clamorous they are, they are just a group of guys watching football, and if they want to scold them, they have to spend money.People who are not at the same level at all, there is no need to fight.Do elephants know as well as ants?

However, other Clippers players, especially young players, will inevitably be affected mentally when they hear the boos from the home audience.

The Celtics players came out and took turns to show off, and highlights of the Big Three were also played on the big screen in the stadium.

After Garnett came out, he roared. From his roar, Ye Feng could feel the hysterical madness, as if he was going to start a war.

Obviously, the Celtics are bound to win this game.

Ye Feng said to the people around him: "Today will not be easy, but don't be overwhelmed by their momentum."

Curry gave him a smile back, "If the Celtics lose, the fans' expressions must be wonderful."

He said he didn't care, but the Clippers players showed a downturn during the warm-up, and the sights of several three-point shooters were not very good.

The Clippers changed their starters, Love, McGee, Ye Feng, Curry, Kidd.

Celtics starting lineup: Rasheed Wallace, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo.

Josh Smith entered the bench lineup again. He entered the starting lineup in these two games, and the substitutes did not perform as well as before. Thibodeau decided to let him continue to play with the substitute.

Barkley said: "It seems that the Clippers will strengthen their offense in this game. I don't know if Curry can play the state of the previous series."

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "The mental quality of the Clippers' young players is still not strong. If they are all like Ye Feng, there will be no problem. When he first entered the league to play against the Celtics, he dared to attack Gane on the road. Shout out."

At this moment, Garnett walked up to Ye Feng, glared at him and said coldly, "You guys will lose this game."

Ye Feng confronted him tit for tat, and said with a sneer, "Just because of your mouth?"

The two were very close, and before the match even started, it was as if they were punching each other.Two years ago, Garnett felt that Ye Feng might become a serious problem in his confidant, and now it really came true.Garnett was very violent, he refused to accept anyone, he dared to yell at anyone, he was so angry that he even hit his teammates in training, Ye Feng also had the same animal nature as him, he could feel it.

Garnett and McGee jump the ball, this time Garnett wins, McGee jumps slowly.

Pierce took the basketball and passed it to Rondo, who dribbled the ball slowly toward the Clippers half court.

The Clippers used man-to-man in the opening game. Rasheed Wallace replaced Perkins. It was not convenient for the Clippers to compress the defense to the penalty area. Except for Rondo, the other four shot well. Rasheed's regular season The three-point shooting rate is 38%, which is close to 4%.

On the outside, Curry defended Rondo, Kidd followed Ray Allen, Ye Feng defended Pierce, Love dealt with Rasheed, and McGee faced Garnett.

Rasheed went to the outside to cover Rondo, and Garnett also mentioned the high post.

Rondo's advantage of fast speed was brought into play. He dribbled the ball and bypassed Curry, and then passed Love and broke into the inside line. Nate quickly distributed the ball to Rasheed on the outside, and the Clippers exposed the opening at the beginning.

Rasheed made a three-pointer and made a steady hit. 0 to 3.

In the league, big men who can shoot three-pointers, as long as the defense is not too bad, can at least be mixed with the middle class.Rashid replaced Perkins in the starting lineup, which really made the Clippers' defense tight.

The Clippers' offense also targeted the inside.With Love and Curry around, the Celtics didn't dare to tighten up their lineup. With a 32-zone defense, Rasheed defended Love and followed the outside line. Garnett carried McGee and was responsible for the low-post defense.

The Clippers players pulled away, Thibodeau arranged a pick-and-roll tactic, Love pulled to the outside, Ye Feng kept running and received a pass from Kidd.

Love blocks Pierce and Rasheed switches.The Clippers' main offensive weapon is dislocation. Ye Feng faced Rasheed without any feints.

Garnett let go of McGee to defend, Ye Feng took two big steps, did not take off, and threw the ball into the air with one hand, he knew how high McGee could catch the ball, the two of them prepared for the All-Star dunk We practiced together for a long time.

McGee flew up, caught the ball with one hand and dunked the ball. 2 to 3.That's what he does in the low post.

Returning to defense, Ye Feng shouted: "Change formation, Kevin goes out to defend Rashid, mixed defense."

Before the game, Thibodeau had already thought of the possibility of the Celtics' misplaced pick-and-roll offense. Rasheed Wallace can withdraw from the inside. He also has a weakness, that is, his slow speed. He has reached the end of his career. He basically walks to defend. After this season, he will almost retire. Love can keep up with him, and he can defend outside.Ye Feng has reached the low position in the mixed defense. If the pick-and-roll is switched, he can defend Rondo, and at the same time he can defend Pierce's deep position.

Once the Celtics pick and roll and Ye Feng lets go of Pierce, there will be misalignment in other positions, and it is necessary to rely on rotation to defend.McGee is the least good at playing zone defense tactics, so he doesn't need to change positions, the task is to keep an eye on Garnett.If other people invest, the Clippers can only recognize it.

Rasheed screened again, Love didn't switch, Curry immediately ran towards Pierce, Ye Feng switched to Rondo, blocked his breakthrough route, how far away was one step, and gave way to Rondo to shoot.

Rondo passed to Pierce, who used his strong body to carry Curry to break through and rushed into the paint.Ye Feng let go of Rondo to cover Pierce from the side, occupying the inside line, one man defending two, Curry's role is to block Pierce from the outside, interfere with him, so that he can't shoot easily.Curry has height and bounce, this can be done, and the low position is left to Ye Feng.As soon as Pierce broke through, Curry went to defend Rondo again.

The position change was very fast. Pierce wanted to pass Rondo again, but it was difficult to get a chance, so he chose to play by himself.He leaned his back on Ye Feng, and quickly turned to the middle to shoot with one hand. Ye Feng didn't resist, and slid to the basket. Pierce's movements were done in one go, but he didn't shake off Ye Feng. The shot was blocked by a slap !
