The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 356 [Opportunists VS Miracle Workers]

The day before the finals, only 2 ticket windows for Staples were open, and there were less than 10 fans who came to visit. Most of them were foreign tourists who were not familiar with the Clippers market.Los Angeles fans basically bought season tickets, and the rest of the tickets, for better or worse, were sold out long ago.The Staples Arena was packed during the regular season, and tickets are even harder to find now.Online, former volleyball tickets have been fired up to staggering prices.The front row seats in the Staples Arena are the most valuable, and next to them are likely to be beautiful stars or movie kings or queens.

All the countries in the world that are interested in basketball basically broadcast the finals live. This is not only a contest between two teams, but it has also been hyped as a duel between the two strongest players in the world.These two people were of course referring to Ye Feng and LeBron James.

Dwyane Wade has been in the Heat, and his fans say that he is the leader of the Heat, but in fact, whether it is statistics or the effect on the court, James has surpassed Wade, he is the Heat's No. a core.

James is under a lot of pressure. Since entering the league in 2003, he has not won a championship. Few people realize that James is not young anymore.Of course, he is only 26 years old, and he still has a good time in the NBA, ranging from seven to eight years to more than ten years, but how many championships can he win?

James, like Kobe, came to the NBA early, was selected as an All-Star early, established his status as a first-line star early, and enjoyed the glory and wealth that most people in the world can't have in their lifetime.James is still better than Kobe. He refreshed the "youngest" records in NBA history held by Kobe.He became the absolute core of an NBA team before he was 20 years old.He won the scoring title at the age of 23, and became the MVP at the age of 24. There is only one thing that James can't compare with Kobe. At the age of 24, Kobe had already worn his third championship ring.

Once, James thought he was better than anyone, including Jordan, but he didn't say so publicly.But now, there is someone who won the championship earlier than Kobe Bryant, and someone younger than him who won the scoring title and MVP. In the future, his "youngest" records may also be refreshed by Ye Feng.So James was under a lot of pressure. He was very depressed that there was a person like Ye Feng who stole all the limelight.He was even more depressed that Ye Feng had already won the championship last year, and he was only 23 years old now.He fears that he will be suppressed.The media said that many people will be suppressed by Ye Feng for a lifetime, does that include him?
Before the final, James posted a "Now or Never" on his Twitter.No one knew what he meant.This statement is ambiguous, maybe James accidentally cast a spell on himself?Champion, Now (now) is out of play, so, Never (never)?

That night, people poured into the arena early, and some fans accepted interviews with reporters and expressed some of their views.Although the Heat have many stars, fans are optimistic about Ye Feng and the Clippers successfully defending their titles.

The words of a 70-year-old fan can represent the aspirations of most Los Angeles fans. He said: "I think the Heat can't beat the Clippers, and James can't beat Ye Feng. James is a person who creates opportunities for himself, so he went to Heat. Ye Feng is a man who creates miracles, so he led the Clippers to win the championship. How can an opportunist compare with a man who creates miracles?"

A year later, people are still disgusted that James left the Cavaliers and moved to the Heat.Leaving one's own team at its peak is not common in the NBA, and even rarer for superstars.James has a nickname in China called "Zhan Paopao". This incident has had a great impact on his popularity, and he may not be able to turn around in a few years.

When the players came out, Ye Feng was as low-key as usual. He was the first to play and didn't put on a show, as if this was just a regular season. This kind of low-key has become the characteristic of the Clippers. audience.

Barkley sat in the commentary seat, just finished eating a hamburger, wiped his mouth and said: "Since the beginning of the season, the league has been talking about the duel between James and Ye Feng, and now the two really meet in the finals. The most exciting finals in recent years. One side has four All-Stars, and one side has achieved a record-breaking record in the regular season."

Kenny Smith asked: "Everyone knows that you support the Clippers. What do you think is the biggest advantage of the Clippers?"

Barkley thought for a while and said, "I think it's their height. Ye Feng playing guard is their biggest advantage."

Ye Feng greeted his former teammate Chalmers, but ignored James.Since the two of them met now, they haven't spoken a few words.After Ye Feng entered the league, he regarded James as his biggest opponent. There was some resistance in his heart, and it has not changed now. As an opponent, it is not good to talk too much. The atmosphere of the hippie smile is too friendly. up.
The Heat's players also have serious expressions. Their goal is to take away at least one victory at home for the Clippers. It is of course better to win both games.

After the warm-up, the starting players of both sides stood in the middle circle, and the Clippers sent Love, McGee, Smith, Ye Feng, and Curry.It's a tall lineup.

Heat sent Joel. Anthony, Haslem, James, Wade, Chalmers.

Ye Feng took a deep breath to calm down. Even though he had already played in the finals once and won the championship, he still couldn't help being a little excited at this moment.Facing the Heat, he didn't know if he could win. The Heat started the running-in stage and lost several games. In the second half of the regular season, they played better and better, and it was already difficult to lose.Sweeping opponents for three consecutive rounds in the playoffs is the best proof of strength.

OJ. Mayo and Bosh came off the bench together. This season, Mayo is still very stable. The environment creates people. His confidence has been played out. Even with the Big Three, he dares to attack with the ball and can run without the ball. Looking for opportunities, when the four are on the court together, the Heat will become very powerful.

Ye Feng was excited, and the Heat players were even more nervous.Like Mayo, Bosh, many people are playing the finals for the first time.Wade is better. He won the championship in 2006 and won the Finals MVP.

Everyone took their positions, the referee threw the ball up, and the game started.

McGee seldom lost the jump ball, and this time was no exception. He passed the ball to Ye Feng, Ye Feng passed it to Curry, and slowly ran through the half court. Bit up.Ye Feng was at the top of the arc, Curry was in control of the ball, and Smith was also pulled to the outside. Neither of the two insiders came out. Both sides tried it out in the opening stage.

The Heat used Wade to defend against Smith, James and Ye Feng faced each other, two defensive insiders in the low post, not tall, 32 zone defense.

To break through the 32 zone defense, the best way is to break through inside. Ye Feng didn't break through. Thibodeau arranged a way to break through.

Ye Feng covered Curry on the outside, blocking Chalmers.At the beginning of the game, the Clippers tested James' choice, should they switch defenses?If James and Ye Feng are determined not to switch defenses, Curry will attack with the ball and can shoot at will. The two inside players will wait for an opportunity on the baseline. If Haslem and Joel Anthony defend, Curry can pass the ball to low.

The Clippers played a misplaced small-scale cooperation.After the first block, Ye Feng immediately pulled away and ran to the right, and Curry rushed to the left, dragging James' defense and keeping him away from Ye Feng.

James caught up with Curry and was out of position.Chalmers could only switch to defend Ye Feng. He tried to stand in front of Ye Feng and block the passing route. After three seasons, Chalmers' defense also improved. At this time, Love pulled out the outside line, and Ku Unable to pass James, he passed the ball to Love, who passed the ball to Ye Feng who ran out of the perimeter.

Chalmers was too thin to fight against, and he lost his position when he squeezed with Ye Feng. It was impossible to stop him from receiving the ball.Ye Feng took the ball out of the three-point line, turned around and took the ball with both hands and shook it lightly.Chalmers didn't jump up to block the shot, but raised his hand to interfere.Ye Feng immediately made a three-pointer from the top of the arc, and made a low-level shot! 3 to 0.

With the improvement of his touch, Ye Feng shot more and more three-pointers. Chalmers is 188cm tall, and it is impossible to match Ye Feng.He can easily bully defenders after being misplaced.

The Heat attacked, and Chalmers took the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to James.The Clippers used a mixed defense. Outside, Curry, Chalmers, Ye Feng, James, and the other three occupied three corners of the penalty area, and defended wherever the ball passed.

Chalmers has a good three-pointer, so he must keep up. James is more threatening when he rushes up, so he must keep up. As for the other three players, they can all prevent breakthroughs, including Wade.Breakthrough is Wade's strongest weapon. If he stays in the paint, McGee and Smith help defend and block shots, so it's hard for Wade to break through.

"It turned out that he was facing me, come on, I will beat you." James saw Ye Feng, his eyes were burning.He was going to attack Ye Feng with the ball, and he didn't look for a pick-and-roll.The three of the Clippers stood still and had no intention of defending. Even if James broke through, it would be difficult to get to the basket, and in the end he could only shoot a jumper.

In Ye Feng's previous life, the Mavericks used this zone defense to deal with the Heat, and it worked.

James attacked with the ball, dribbled the ball with his right hand, and handed it to his left hand. Ye Feng retreated slightly to keep the distance. James dribbled the ball from his crotch and then handed it to his right hand, trying to enter the penalty area from the right. Ye Feng dribbled the ball under his crotch By the time he had moved in place, his body stuck to James to block the breakthrough route. James bumped into him and failed to pass.

While Ye Feng was fighting physically, he stretched out his right hand quickly in an attempt to steal the ball. James quickly turned around to protect the basketball, and Ye Feng followed closely, making him unable to turn around.

Haslem came up to cover, James finally passed Ye Feng through the screen, McGee immediately followed up, James was blocked again, seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, he passed the ball to Wade on the side.Smith followed the defense, defended against a breakthrough, and interfered with the shot. Wade took the ball and took a step sideways. He stopped for a jumper and shot the ball.

The Clippers successfully defended the first ball.
