The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 372 [Strong Explosion]

Barkley praised: "If Ye Feng can maintain his form, even James can't guard against him. He combines floor flow skills with super physical fitness, which is too strong!"

Kenny Smith said: "In the past, people could find some shortcomings from Ye Feng, but now he has become perfect, shooting, post-up attack, running without the ball, low-post footsteps, and backward jumper. His offensive skills are better than those of Ye Feng. James is all-round, one-on-one and prevails."

After two games of silence, the Clippers opened up their offense, and they showed a stronger desire to win than the Heat.

Wade received the ball and broke through, Joel Anthony covered, McGee switched defenses, Smith also bypassed the defense and went inside to double-team Wade, leaving Joel Anthony empty.

Joel Anthony hurried to the basket. He didn't help the team in the high post. The Heat have shortcomings on the offensive end.

Wade broke through and scored, Bosh screened for Mayo, and McGee and Tony Allen switched defenses.Mayo passed the ball back to Bosh. Although the latter had an obvious advantage in height, he couldn't turn around under the pressure of Tony Allen. Bosh took the ball and retreated. Space to dribble.

Bosh passed the ball to Mayo who ran to the top of the arc without the ball. McGee followed up. The 24-second attack time was about to come. Mayo made a sudden stop and missed a jumper. Ye Feng stuck James behind him. Protect the backboard.

The Clippers were in a positional battle, and Ye Feng took the ball across half court and handed it to Tony Allen, continuing to run without the ball.After James suffered a loss, he heeled even tighter, and he focused all his attention on Ye Feng.Because of this, James made a little joke.Tony Allen passed the ball, McGee received the ball unsteadily, and almost made a mistake. The ball was right behind James. He could get it when he turned around, but he didn't realize it. He ran with Ye Feng who had no ball, and missed the opportunity to steal.

But James' defense also played a role, Ye Feng failed to receive the ball, Smith missed a jumper when the 24 seconds approached.

The two sides began to fight hard to defend, which was not good for the Heat. After all, they fell too far behind in the opening score and had to chase points.

The Clippers are on the premise of ensuring their lead, so it would be better if they deploy defensive players to expand the score.The Clippers have succeeded, forcing the Heat to send four stars in the first quarter, so that the second quarter will be easier to play.

Mayo, who played the best in the last game, was indeed guarded by Tony Allen. He could only rely on screens to catch the ball. After the switch, the Clippers’ defense was still tight. Love defended the outside line.Love's speed is completely different from when he first entered the league, and his height advantage can also interfere with Mayo's outside shooting.

It was difficult for both sides to get a good shooting opportunity. In 4 minutes, Bosh and Wade each scored a goal. The Clippers had Love hit a mid-range shot. McGee got the opportunity to attack the basket and caused a foul. Missed the penalty and missed a great opportunity to score.

The four stars played together again, but the Heat still failed to recover the score. Both Mayo and Bosh played for a long time. If they played again in the second quarter, they would be at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength.The Clippers Thornton has been fully rested, and Curry has not played yet. They will definitely lead the bench to grab points.

With 4 minutes left in the game, the Heat replaced Joel Anthony and sent Haslem to strengthen the offense.Haslem lived up to expectations, played a pick-and-roll with Wade as soon as he played, and hit a high jumper, helping the team narrow the point difference to single digits. 20 to 12.

Ye Feng, who had been silent for a while, immediately responded. He relied on McGee's screen to get rid of James, and Tony Allen passed the ball to him in time.Ye Feng caught the ball and immediately turned around and made a jump shot! 22 to 12.

Haslem has strong mobility, fast lateral movement, is good at preventing breakthroughs, and can resist people in low positions.But he is only 203 cm tall, and if he switches defenses a little slower, he can't block Ye Feng's pull-up shots. Ye Feng has spotted his weakness and shot very resolutely.

Ye Feng has scored 9 points, James still only scored [-] points, this game he was suppressed by Ye Feng again.

On the offensive end, James, who had a headache from being guarded by Ye Feng, also started running without the ball, and stopped organizing offense at the top of the arc.Both of them use this kind of running style, which will consume more energy.

There is also a difference in the off-ball running positions of the two. Ye Feng used his running to create gaps and scored goals, but James' running was useless.

James exposed another shortcoming of himself. He is not good at running without the ball and can't run at all.Since entering the league, James has been the only core of the Cavaliers. In order to get him up as soon as possible, the Cavaliers sent out Ricky Davis, who scored 20+ points.In his rookie season, James was attacking with the ball, relying on breakthroughs to attack, which has not changed much from his current style of play, but at that time his shooting was not as accurate as it is now, and his shooting percentage was relatively low.He never played a game where he ran off the ball and waited for his teammates to pass the ball.

When Ye Feng was in the Lakers and Grizzlies, he mainly ran without the ball.At that time, his assists were pitiful, his dribbling skills were extremely rough, and off-ball offense was the magic weapon for his survival.Now Ye Feng is using his rookie season routine to fight James, but it has achieved results, it can be said that he is back to basics.

James couldn't create space no matter what, and Ye Feng seemed to be his shadow. In this case, James didn't force his shots, passing the ball again and again, becoming a role player.

The Heat attacked, and Wade passed the ball to Bosh, who wanted the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left, and was ready to let him play with his back. The Heat's low-post offense has not played a role in this series.

Bosh dribbled two steps behind his back, and seemed to be resolute in singles. Smith, who was defending Wade, breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was panting, Wade suddenly started, threw away Smith, and cut into the restricted area from the baseline. Bosh Shi handed the ball to Wade. Wade passed McGee with speed and scored with a backhand. 22 to 14.

McGee faced Bosh, but he didn't expect Wade to make such a move. He turned around and blocked the shot slowly.In this game, Wade is still the most threatening player for the Heat, and the Heat's well-deserved first scorer.

The Heat played a beautiful offense, and Barkley's commentary was even more passionate: "Strike! Wade and Bosh played a 2-over-1 cooperation that hit the wall. They both knew where the other party would appear. This kind of tacit understanding may only be found in husband and wife."

Kenny Smith said, "Are you crazy?"

The Clippers attacked, Ye Feng took the ball to the front court, did not pass, and directly relied on Love's cover to break through the three-point line, McGee also pulled to the outside, the second block was Ye Feng who blocked Bosh, Ye Feng was in McGee Under the cover of Kei, he got rid of the emergency stop jump shot in one step.

James was a little slower to chase from the side.CIC hit. 24 to 14.Ye Feng scored his 11th point.

James' heart was beating wildly, not because of strenuous exercise, but because he was worried about Ye Feng's hand feeling.He knew that Ye Feng had found his hand, and it would be very troublesome if he kept throwing like this.

Ye Feng is a super "convulsion player". When he finds his shooting touch, he will play crazy games. When facing the Mavericks, he ravaged his opponent with pull-up jump shots and created a new single-game scoring record in the playoffs. .

This shot made Ye Feng more confident, and then he was going to shoot when he was open, using a pull-up jumper to break the Heat's defense.He also understands the convulsions when he feels good in his hands. As long as he grasps the feeling, he can cast whatever he wants.It's a pity that he doesn't do this every game, otherwise he can average 50 points per game.

Heat attack.Wade relied on Bosh's pick-and-roll to get rid of Smith and broke into the restricted area. McGee stepped forward to defend.Wade took the ball and turned to the right, took the ball and jumped up, McGee jumped high to block the block, Wade shrank in the air and pulled the bar for a layup, avoided McGee's block, and made a low-handed basket.To deal with a player like Wade, it is not enough to just bounce and shoot. 24 to 16.

The Clippers quickly sent the baseline ball, and there were only 37 seconds left. If the offense was played fast enough, the Clippers could get another chance to attack after the Heat completed the offense.

Ye Feng quickly dribbled the ball across the half, James was close to him, he passed it to Tony Allen, and he started running without the ball again.Tony Allen passed the ball to Love, and Love passed it to the high post McGee. McGee stopped in the high post and handed the ball to Ye Feng who was running towards him.Ye Feng didn't dribble the ball and rose up in front of McGee.

James thought he was going to break through and circled to the left.Bosh also thought that Ye Feng would break through, so he chose to block the right side, but Ye Feng chose the most impossible pull-up jumper. McGee was in front of him, blocking his line of sight, like a defender.Bosh and James blocked the shot from the side, but they missed it, and the ball hit it again! 26 to 16, Ye Feng scored 13 points in a single quarter.

The Heat attacked, Wade controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and the Clippers did not press forward.The two sides have a tacit agreement to delay the time. The goal of the Heat is to use 24 seconds as much as possible to hit a success rate and leave a little less time for the Clippers to attack. The Clippers want to defend firmly and defend the ball. The clock is enough to complete an offense.

With 7 seconds left in the attack time, Bosh pulled to the top of the arc to cover, Wade broke through the left side with the ball, and gave the ball to James. James used Haslem's off-ball screen to get rid of Ye Feng and turned around. For a jumper, Love switched defenses and jumped up to interfere, and James' jumper missed again.

Several insiders defended to the outside. Tony Allen went inside and protected the backboard. He passed the ball as soon as he landed, leaving the Clippers with 6 seconds to attack and counterattack quickly.Smith dribbled the ball through the half court, Ye Feng was strictly guarded, and time was running out. Seeing that Wade was defending, Smith chose to shoot a three-pointer at a 60-degree angle on the right.

Smith can shoot [-]-pointers, but not allowed, only [-]% hit rate.The ball missed, the arc was very low, and it bounced far away. Fortunately, it bounced towards Ye Feng's direction. Ye Feng single-handed the ball from the air to the basket, and made a tip-in from the middle to score!James, who was stuck in a good position and wanted to get a rebound, once again became the background.

28 to 16, the Clippers led by 12 points and ended the first quarter.

Ye Feng scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, a strong explosion!
