The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 314 [Championship Dark Horse]

The Nets selected the No. [-] pick, recruiting troops and buying horses to do a big job. Before the start of the new season, many experts were optimistic about it.Yi Jianlian's first game against the Nets after transferring to the Clippers is also a big gimmick.Yao Ming was injured and reimbursed, leaving Yi Jianlian as the only Chinese player in the NBA. Therefore, Chinese fans are more concerned about Yi Jianlian's performance in the Clippers.Many fans left messages on the official NBA forum, hoping that Thibodeau would give Yi Jianlian more playing time.

The game attracted much attention, ESPN broadcast live, Jeff Van Gundy and "Magic" Johnson partnered to explain.

Before the start of the game, "Magic" Johnson said: "The performance of the Nets this season is beyond people's expectations. The momentum is a bit like that of the Clippers in the 2008-2009 season. There is no All-Star, but they broke out amazingly together. The power. Wall is the best rookie of the year, and he squeezed Harris to the bench. Ariza brought defense to the Nets. His scoring dropped, and his shooting percentage was better than that of the Rockets .”

Jeff Van Gundy also praised Wall. "Wall's physical fitness has left a deep impression on people. He is 193cm tall, has strong explosive power and amazing bounce, and can participate in the slam dunk contest."

Predicting the outcome, Johnson is not very optimistic about the Clippers this time, even though it is the Clippers' home court.He said: "The Clippers have a lot of difficulties in this game, mainly on the outside. After Curry was injured, Kidd was the only real point guard at the 1st position. After Kidd was off the court, Tony Allen and Thornton were needed. They're not doing very well. Kidd's been slower this season, he's afraid to guard speed guards, Wall is that type, and the Nets have the potential to upset."

Van Gundy smiled and said: "I don't agree with you. Although the Clippers are missing Curry, they already have championship background this season and know how to use their advantages to win. So far they have only lost one game. There is news Said that the Clippers did not continue to sign, in order to wait for Chris Paul. If Paul comes, they will definitely need to exchange a few good players, this has not been confirmed. "

"Magic" Johnson said: "If Paul came, the Clippers would definitely have more dunks, but the number of times Ye Feng will attack with the ball will decrease."

The Clippers really want to introduce Paul. "CP3", who has both offense and defense and super organizational skills, is one of the best point guards in the league. He is an absolute starting candidate for any team.Now the coaching staff is also a little dissatisfied with Kidd. He has rich experience, but he is getting older and his pace is getting slower and slower.

Before the players played, a reporter interviewed two beauties in the stands, Ariel and Paris Hilton.Now Hilton is a fan of the Clippers and often comes to cheer.

The reporter asked Hilton what he thought of the Clippers,
"I now think Ye Feng is the best player in the world..." Hilton deliberately paused, then smiled: "Also, I want to have a child for him."

born again?The reporter opened his mouth wide, and Ariel gave her a hammer. Hilton pointed to Ariel, and then said, "I said the second part for her. She has a sore throat today and doesn't want to talk."

I heard people beside me laughing. This interview has become a small tidbit before the start of the game, and it will definitely be on the news.

The players showed up.Ye Feng got the most applause, and when the Nets played, the audience didn't boo and gave some applause to the players of the visiting team.

The Nets play very cleanly. The inside core Brook Lopez is popular and has a very calm playing style. Some people say he is "White Duncan". .

Scola also received a lot of applause when he played. He is a frequent visitor to the top five goals, relying on dazzling footsteps. He has played to the limit this season and feels like a star.

During the warm-up, Yi Jianlian greeted his former Nets teammates, and everyone treated him lukewarm.In two years, he didn't really integrate into the Nets, he was just a passerby with no close friends.In the Clippers, he didn't talk much.This makes people feel helpless. If you don’t communicate with others, how can you cooperate well?
Thibodeau arranged tactics before the game and told Yi Jianlian that he would be sent out in the second quarter. I hope he will not disappoint the coaching staff and play boldly.

Before the game, everyone studied the Nets' offensive routines. Except for Hayes and DeAndre Jordan, their insiders can withdraw from the inside and make mid-range shots.The guard is fast and if O'Neal plays, it will easily become a defensive loophole, so Thibodeau is going to let Gortat and Yi Jianlian play more.

"Little General" Johnson urged the players to treat this game as a playoff, don't be afraid, and give it their all.Lopez was the core of the offense in the first quarter.

Lopez has a strong offensive power. In the league, there is only one person he is more afraid of, and that is Dwight Howard.Facing other insiders, he has the confidence to score 20+ with his excellent footwork and stable shooting.

Players from both sides entered the field.Wall stepped forward to shake hands with Ye Feng, he seemed a little nervous, after all, the No. [-] pick had just entered the NBA, he was a little excited to play against last season's MVP.

The Clippers start five, McGee, Love, Wright, Ye Feng, Kidd.

Nets starters: Lopez, Humphries, Outlaw, Ariza, Wall.

McGee and Lopez scrambled for the ball. It was a contest between slam dunk king and floor flow. McGee won easily, and the Nets players shrunk to the penalty area and started a zone defense.

The Nets sent Humphries to the starting lineup to allow him to protect rebounds and defense. Lopez is not strong at rebounding.And Scola played as a substitute, and in the second quarter with a substitute, he could also have an extra offensive point.

Humphries also broke out this season, averaging 8 points, 9 rebounds and 1 block per game. He is a very good blue-collar worker. His annual salary is only more than 300 million, and the Nets have made money.

Kidd controls the ball to the frontcourt, and Wall follows up. He has height, but the confrontation is relatively poor.This season, Wall averaged 16.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 2 steals per game, and he has almost locked in the best rookie of the season in advance.The fly in the ointment is that he shoots poorly, shooting only 41%, and rarely makes three-pointers.

Ye Feng pulled to the top of the arc to catch the ball, Outlaw came out of the defense and stuck close to Ye Feng.Outlaw, who is 206cm tall, can play the 3rd and 4th positions. He has been in the Blazers before and averaged 10+ points per game in three seasons. He is an important sixth man for the Blazers.In the Nets, he often played the sixth man, and he was allowed to start in order to strengthen the defense.

Thibodeau still arranged for Ye Feng to attack. The Nets didn't have a strong swingman, and Ariza couldn't guard him. Against Outlaw, Ye Feng also had an advantage.The Nets' substitute Damion James is very strong but is only a rookie. It is too reluctant for him to defend Ye Feng.

"It's naive to want to defend me with an Outlaw, it's easier than beating Ariza." Ye Feng thought to himself.Now there are no players in the league that he has no confidence to clean up.

Outlaw is no stronger than Prince of the Pistons. Ye Feng backed up twice from the top of the arc. As soon as Outlaw retreated, Ye Feng immediately turned around with the ball and broke into the three-point line from the right. Ariza did not assist. Defense, Wright's three-pointers in the previous game left a deep impression on people, with a 41% hit rate, and he can't just let it go.

Ye Feng dribbled the ball to the inside, Love had already pulled to the outside, and Lopez was the only one in the low post.He let go of McGee to defend.Ye Feng is very good at playing tricks now, he took the ball with both hands and rushed towards Lopez, when he got close to him, he suddenly jumped up, turned 180 degrees and entered the middle.

He likes to play this way during training, with his back turned and not looking at the basket, so that it is difficult for the opponent to judge from which direction the ball is thrown, and it is too late to see clearly before blocking the shot.This action has become his signature as well as dunks.

Lopez and Ye Feng took a step away, jumped up with all their strength, and watched his shot.

Ye Feng didn't shoot, he turned his back and took the ball with his left hand and passed it from his armpit to McGee on the baseline. Lopez jumped in the air, how could he defend?McGee jumped up one step after catching the ball and scored with a dunk. 2 to 0.

The fans applauded together. They came to see this kind of performance.Jeff Van Gundy smiled and said, "Ye Feng also has more assists this season, and he often sends wonderful passes. It has a bit of your charm back then, but I haven't seen him play point guard before."

Johnson laughed and said: "My physical fitness is not as good as his. If he plays point guard, no point guard in the league can resist him, unless LeBron James also plays point guard. They are the most comprehensive in the league. There are two people."

The Wizards attacked, Wall dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, passed it to Ariza on the right, made an air cut by himself, and Ariza lobbed it to Lopez again.Lopez singles McGee with the ball in the low post.Lopez's footwork has left a deep impression on people. If his rebounding and defense can be better, maybe he can really reach Duncan's height in the future.McGee dunked a goal at the start of the game, and he was very excited at the moment, defending in the low post.

McGee's strength is very poor. Fortunately, Lopez is not a player who relies on strength to play, and he did not easily resist McGee.

Lopez took the ball with his back and left foot as the axis, and took a step towards the center with his right foot.McGee saw that the pivot foot was very accurate, thinking that the opponent would have a fake move in the follow-up, but Lopez really turned around in the middle and scored a jumper. 2 to 2.

The Clippers attacked, Kidd brought the ball to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Wright, the latter passed to Love who pulled out the outside line, McGee also pulled to the high screen, Ye Feng threw away Outlaw and scored the ball in the low post , Lopez switched defenses.

As soon as the ball was passed to the low post, Ye Feng caught the ball on the right side and flicked for a while, then turned around sharply towards the baseline.He has hit many big players with this trick, and he can't guard it if he is a little slower.He can defend the bottom line, and he can dribble to the middle to make a strong move. This move is not easy to defend. In the first season, he mainly relied on this to score, and now he is more proficient.

Lopez didn't keep up, Ye Feng went into the basket and smashed the ball with both hands behind the bar. 4 to 2.

The Nets attacked, and Wall held the ball and broke through inside. Kidd was slower than him, but he made good use of his experience to keep up with him on the side and squeeze him to one side.Wall dribbled the ball and finally moved a step away from Kidra, and he was already away from the basket, making an emergency stop to shoot a jumper.

Suddenly a person jumped up from the side, Ye Feng let go of Ariza, and gave Wall a Thunderbolt hat!
