The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 376 [The Sixth Game That Determines Destiny]

After the game, the Clippers players did not celebrate on the court, and quickly fled back to the locker room. Excessive celebration on the visiting team is very hurtful.

In an interview, Thibodeau no longer kept a low profile, and said with a smile: "The players played beautifully in this game, especially Ye Feng. His performance surprised me. He proved that he is the best. Back home , we will definitely win.”

The reporter interviewed Ye Feng and asked: "You beat James today, what do you want to say? Can you talk about your defense against James? He only scored 8 points in the game. This kind of thing is very rare."

Ye Feng thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I hope my shooting touch can still be as good in the next game. Winning a key game is a great boost to the team's morale. Defending James is a tough job, and the whole game must be played hard." Concentrate, today we were very successful in defending against his breakthrough, but he didn’t feel like shooting the ball, and that’s how it ended. I told him before the game that I wanted to limit him to 10 points. Thinking of him being so generous."

James will definitely go crazy after watching the interview. He doesn't plan to let his children watch TV these two days. It's too embarrassing.

While Ye Feng proved himself, he also drove James into the abyss, allowing the latter to set a new low in his personal playoff scoring.No one will say that James is No. 1 in the league anymore.Before the finals, there were constant comparisons between James and Ye Feng, saying that his personal ability is stronger than Ye Feng, and he is the No.1 today. Now he is terrible, and he is not No.1 in the Heat.

Since the Lakers "OK combination" parted ways, the league has not seen a dynasty for a long time.To build a dynasty is not to win a championship, at least to complete three consecutive championships. In recent years, there is not even a team that can successfully defend the championship. He didn't even make it to the playoffs, making him the worst champion ever.The Spurs are very close to the dynasty, and the 4 championships were also won separately, and they have never defended.This time the Clippers will almost certainly be able to break this practice. The Heat seem to be unable to compete with the Clippers. Their offense and defense have problems, but the Clippers have played a perfect combination of inside and outside.

The media is unanimously optimistic that the Clippers will win the sixth game. There is even a saying on the Internet that the Clippers lost the third and fourth games. Five games makes the league a lot more money.It was too easy for the Clippers to win Game [-]. Their strength was simply above that of the Heat, so they faked the ball.

It can only be said that the fans who analyzed this valued the Clippers too much. It may happen that the referee manipulated the game and hacked the opponent like the Lakers VS Kings back then, but it is definitely impossible to say that the team deliberately lost. Such a team is not confident, but It's a brain disease.

The two sides moved to Los Angeles.As soon as Ye Feng came home, many media wanted to interview him, Ye Feng refused all of them, and stayed at home to recharge his batteries.The game is not over yet, and the Clippers didn't expect the Heat to win two games.At this time, we can't underestimate the enemy, let alone relax. Maybe the Heat can find a way to restrain the Clippers. It's not too late to celebrate after winning the championship.

In fact, Ye Feng was too worried. While the Clippers were getting good reviews, the Heat were on the verge of collapse due to internal and external troubles. There were so many unfavorable news that they almost killed them.

"Is the relationship between James and Wade better?" "Wade scolded James and Bosh on the court!"

Before Game [-], the Los Angeles reporter asked a rather tricky question. "LeBron, do you think you need to win the Finals MVP to prove that your decision to join the Heat was correct?"

Everyone knows that the host of the Heat is Wade, and Wade has also won the Finals MVP. If James wants to win the MVP, it will definitely have an impact on Wade.So, the underlying meaning of this question is: James, do you want to steal Wade's Finals MVP?

Of course, James would not step on such a low-level trap. At that time, he said: "It's ridiculous! I don't care about individual awards at all, I just want to win the championship." Without comment, this is the best answer to this question.But now it seems that this answer is terrible. James really reduced his shots in this series in order to "take the overall situation into consideration".This situation is very rare in James' career, not to mention the playoffs stage where superstars play the leading role.

Although there are indeed factors of the Clippers' defense, the more reason is that James himself is unwilling to take more shots. He devotes more energy to the defensive end and organization and scheduling, and seems to want to prove that he has absolutely no competition. The meaning of Finals MVP.However, is this approach appropriate?Is it appropriate to do so at such a critical moment?

In the fifth game, James only scored 8 points. Although he sent 10 assists, the Heat still suffered a disastrous defeat.In fact, this ending is not without warning: When James scored 15 or fewer points in the playoffs, his team was 0-6.

After the end of the fifth game, Wade and James left the court respectively, and the conflict between the two seemed to be brought to the table. During the finals, the cooperation between the two on and off the court seemed to have a big problem .

At the press conference, Wade once again publicly criticized and accused James.Wade also told reporters that doing so is not an excessive thing, but he is performing his duties as a team leader.

Will James not mind Wade performing his duties as a leader?Some fans pointed out that as soon as Wade is on the court, James will disappear on the offensive end, and the cooperation between the two is basically impossible.It was the differences between James and Wade, especially the offensive and defensive cooperation on the field that seemed to be unable to find a chemical reaction at once, which made them retreat steadily in the fight against the Clippers. Previously, some expert analysis pointed out that James and Wade The differences and contradictions between Wade come from the distribution of ball rights and the secret battle against the finals MVP.

Heat fans once hoped that James and Wade's partner would be as good as Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.But you know, the combination of Jordan and Pippen is not the same as the combination of James and Wade.In terms of playing style, both Wade and James are similar to Jordan, and Pippen is a typical auxiliary player next to Jordan. He can score, pass, and defend very well. Hope to get the second head.At critical moments, he can hand the ball to Jordan without complaint.Wade and James are different, both of them are more suitable to exist as the boss of the team.

As we all know, both James and Wade are typical ball-handling players, and running without the ball has never been their specialty, and this is a chronic disease that plagues the Heat.Historically, there has never been such an overlapping combination of superstar partners in the league.Whether it was the Celtics Big Three in the 1980s, the Spurs Big Three, and the Lakers' giant combination, the position allocation is very clear.If the Heat want to win the championship, James and Wade will have to adjust their playing style so as to solve the problem of overlapping positions.James should choose to attack from low positions more, and his mid-range and long-range shooting still needs to be strengthened. Now James should learn from Ye Feng and use Ye Feng as an example.

So, people began to say that James made the wrong decision.Joining the Heat, although it seems that Wade and Bosh form the strongest Big 3, but the risk is extremely high.First of all, 3 people take up most of the salary, which means that there are no better role players to join.Even if someone is willing to hold their thighs, they are second-rate players or players who are close to retirement.And the Big 3 gathered for the Heat to work together, so it is difficult for other players on the court to have a chance to perform, and the team will be unbalanced.Secondly, who is the boss of James and Wade will affect the unity of the entire locker room.Although the two have a good personal relationship, it is because they had no conflict of interest before.Once there is a conflict, as long as anyone is unhappy, it is equivalent to nearly 1/4 of the team's salary being useless, causing endless troubles, and it will definitely affect other people's emotions.

Distance produces beauty, James has no idea.I think the Lakers were also the Big 4 back then, didn't they still lose to the Pistons because of Kobe and O'Neal's inside bar?Originally, the 3 people were the bosses of the 3 teams. Now that they are together, let alone their salaries have been reduced. Once they lose, it is easy to complain about each other.There are many superstars, but you don't necessarily win.Improving the team's chemistry and bench depth is king.

Bosh doesn't think of himself as the boss. After losing the game, he squats on the sidelines and draws circles by himself, which is fairly clean.James and Wade's problems are more serious than Ye Feng's previous life, because they can't help but compare themselves to Ye Feng, and they are so angry.

Many basketball stars have accepted interviews, and no one is optimistic about the Heat winning the championship.

Former Lakers coach Phil Jackson even satirized the Heat.He said: "I admire the tactical system of the Spurs and Celtics more. I am not interested in Miami's style of play. I like everyone integrated into the tactical system. The Heat's offense is like a video game or any one-on-one. The game. Their players also play well sometimes, but once Wade and James can't play super standards, they are finished."

For the Heat, this is a real last stand. If they lose, the season will be over.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Spoelstra convened a meeting with the players and asked them to try their best. If Ye Feng's hand feeling was still good, he had to foul hard to interrupt his hand feeling, and he couldn't let him shoot endlessly.The Heat's lineup must also be adjusted. The four star players in this game must start and try to play the game as much as possible.

The Clippers also changed the lineup, and Curry returned to the starting lineup.The Clippers players used pick-and-roll coordination on the perimeter to form dislocations. It would be easy for Ye Feng to pull to the perimeter to attack. He beat the Heat with this tactic on the field, and the opponent couldn't defend them. In the last game, the Clippers had no reason to be polite. People are willing to drag the game to the seventh game.

This game has attracted more attention because it is likely to determine the champion.The atmosphere of the Clippers home court has reached its peak since the start of the game. The sound can be heard in the locker room, and the noise of the stadium is more than that of the airport.

When the players came out, TN*T commented on Barkley and said: "It's the sixth game again. Last year, the Clippers won the cup for the first time by defeating the Celtics. If they win again today, Ye Feng will write a new history, only the fourth. This season, I think he has reserved a place in the Hall of Fame and will be the first Chinese to be inducted into the Hall of Fame."

Kenny Smith said: "I don't know if James will play better in this game. The Heat's big loss last game is inseparable from his poor performance. He scored only 20 points in this series, far below The level before the playoffs."

Barkley said disdainfully: "I don't think he is much better. The only improvement is that he has a higher shooting percentage than the Spurs in 2007."

After the warm-up, the starters play.Ye Feng stood beside James and said with a smile: "I hope you can score more than 10 points in this game. As a younger brother, you have to help the boss share some pressure."

After speaking, Ye Feng deliberately glanced at Wade, his voice was a little louder, and he said, "Do you regret joining the wrong team? Come to the Clippers, I will definitely lead you to win the championship."

Talking about the relationship between James and Wade is the best way to stimulate them, which is called adding insult to injury.Now that James is under heavy pressure, he has the idea of ​​transferring again, and any stimulation can make him feel confused.Ye Feng was not polite when he spoke, he knew that James would not come to him to join forces, this kind of person who wants to be the boss can't be friends with him, does he need to be polite to the enemy?

James didn't answer, and vowed mentally that he would let go of the fight, increase the number of shots, and make Ye Feng look good.

The game started, McGee jumped the ball and beat Bosh again, Ye Feng received the ball and passed it to Curry, who took the ball to the frontcourt.

Ye Feng ran to the low post to ask for the ball, and James defended behind him.The two also had a tacit understanding of attacking and defending. James didn't want Ye Feng to run out of the perimeter and attack in a dislocation.

Curry first passed the ball to Love, and ran to the baseline to attract the defense. The three formed a triangle, and Love lobbed the ball into the low post on the right.

Ye Feng didn't hit back, and retreated after receiving the ball to distance himself from James.Before he attacked, the fans in the audience shouted "MVP"!
Ye Feng's next actions made everyone stunned.He started dribbling under the crotch, and his upper body was still swinging rhythmically, like dancing. In the key game, he actually "played" from the beginning!

Feeling insulted, James took a step forward and stretched out his hand to steal it. Ye Feng took the ball and retreated, dribbled the ball under his crotch, followed by a dribble behind his back, and handed the ball to his left hand.James was not shaken by this action, and quickly moved to his right to block the breakthrough route. James took a big step. Ye Feng turned the ball to the baseline with his right hand and at the same time the ball left his hand. It actually passed through James' crotch, and at the same time He turned around and passed James, accelerated to catch the basketball with one step, and took another big step forward. Before Joel Anthony could make up the defense, he dunked with one hand and scored! 2 to 0.
