The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 40 [Brutal]

Without Nash, it was Diaw who organized the offense for the Suns.

In the 2005-2006 season, Dior averaged 13.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game. His performance was extremely comprehensive and he won the Most Improved Player Award that year.Afterwards, he renewed his contract with the Phoenix Suns and signed a five-year, $5 million contract. The Suns had high hopes for him, but with Stoudemire's comeback, Dior's performance can only be described as "depressed". To describe, he only scored 4500 points, 9.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists last season.This season's data has shrunk further, with only 4.8 points, 28 rebounds and 8.8 assists in 4.6 minutes of playing.Diaw must constantly adjust himself to adapt to the new team status quo. Judging from his current performance, he really has a conscience with such a high-paying contract.

Dior dribbled the ball from a high position to face Wharton but couldn't break through easily. When the ball was passed to Piakowski, Vujacic reached out and touched it out of the sideline.

"Beautiful!" Ye Feng called out to Vujacic.Just a simple encouragement shocked Vujacic. Ye Feng was a rookie who could only foul a few months ago, but now he has become the best sixth man, and he doesn't want to fall behind.

The Suns sent out a foul ball, and Barbosa used Max to cover the bottom line to break through with the ball.

I haven't got rid of it yet. If I lay up head-on, I will probably be blocked by him. I have to avoid him.Barbosa observed Ye Feng's position from the corner of his eye, then jumped up, pulling the bar in the air for a backhand layup.

Ye Feng guessed that Barbosa didn't dare to go forward, he just raised his hand to interfere, seeing his opponent take off, he jumped up from the side.He bounced at an amazing speed. The moment Barbosa made a shot, he hit the ball with his right hand on the backboard. While he was still rising, his left hand caught the rebounding basketball.

At the commentary booth, Meyers covered his headset with both hands and shouted: "Ah! What did I see? This block is too beastly!"

Ye Feng protected the basketball, and the Staples Arena resounded with loud shouts.See also catch cap, this ball is more beautiful than the one covered by Battier in the first game.

Sunderland also shouted: "The body is too strong. I don't think there are many in the league who can do this kind of action. If he is not invited to participate in the dunk contest this year, the fans will not agree."

The Lakers attacked from the ground, and Farmar used the screen to pass to Walton. The Lakers were no longer a triangle offense. Three players stood in a high position.

Diaw defended, and Vujacic made a three-pointer against the defense, and the ball missed.But Ye Feng caught the veteran Max and grabbed the offensive rebound. Max couldn't even make a foul.As soon as Ye Feng landed, he took off for the second time, dunking the ball heavily into the hoop with both hands, he pulled the hoop and did a pull-up, the hoop almost reached his chest, and there was a roar when he landed! 33 to 34.

The Lakers' momentum was astonishing, and they were only one point away from catching up. D'Antoni was forced to request a timeout.

Sunderland shouted: "This must be another top five ball. As long as there is a Lakers game, the top five balls will definitely be without him."

Meyers laughed: "His long pass to Farmar should also be in the top five. It's almost a pass from the baseline. I think he can play football as well as a quarter."

Sunderland said with a smile: "This ball is completely bullying the elderly. I don't know what adjustments the Suns will make. Their problem now is not that they can't defend Ye Feng, but that they are being defended by Ye Feng. I think he is Already showing amazing leadership on both ends of the floor, he's been a lift to the morale of the team."

What Sunderland said is right. Ye Feng can always make correct judgments on the defensive end, almost dominating the penalty area. This is not a level that can be achieved simply by honing his skills. He reacts very quickly and has a defensive instinct to understand the opponent's intentions. .Just now he called his teammates on the field, he did it subconsciously, as long as he thought about it, he dared to express his thoughts.

Ye Feng was used to enjoying the cheers from his teammates when the second quarter ended. Bynum enthusiastically handed him a towel and water.Not so long ago, he was the only one who could only guard the drinking fountains. Now he has completely overwhelmed Turiaf and let the "butcher" look at the drinking fountains. As for Brian, who didn't pay attention to him at first. Cook, who is already on the injured list, will not be able to return.

Jackson patted Ye Feng on the back and said with a smile: "The 32 zone defense was changed in a timely manner, and everyone did a great job. If the opponent changes tactics, he must dare to make adjustments on the court like he did just now! Shoot during the fast break Be firm, if the opponent returns to the defense in place, wait for the inside players to be in position, and Kwame (Brown) must pay attention to protecting the backcourt rebounds."

The coach recognized Ye Feng calling the shots on the field, although he was the youngest, no one objected to it.The substitute players all had the same idea in their hearts, playing with Ye Feng was very cool.His aura is like a brave general who rode a war horse in ancient times and charged after hearing the drums. He infected everyone and made people burn physically and mentally.

D'Antoni made a substitution and replaced Max.He held the tactical board and shouted: "Sean (Marion), you play to limit Ye Feng, Boris (Dior) takes the 5th position, and defends Kwame Brown. We also change to 32 zone defense. Ye Feng is just a career change Are you afraid of this rookie? Everyone should try to break through to the inside, draw a foul on him, and knock him down!"

These words are contradictory, if Ye Feng has no power, why is he so eager to beat him down?

Marion felt a lot of pressure, his salary was 35 times that of Ye Feng, plus he was a four-time All-Star, if he couldn't take care of Ye Feng, what would he do?
After playing, Ye Feng saw Marion and defended him.Marion is a little shorter than Ye Feng, and his actual height is the same as Kobe, only 198cm. It is not easy for him to play a power forward.

Marion wanted to compete, and provocatively said: "You can't beat me, yellow man!"

"That's not what Darwin's theory of evolution says." Ye Feng smiled.

Marion's eyes became sharp all of a sudden, because he looked like an ape, so he also hated hearing the theory of evolution.He opened his hand to ask for the ball, to give Ye Feng some flair.

Those who faced Ye Feng for the first time did not believe how strong he was.Marion has no advantage against Ye Feng single-handedly.

They have many similarities.Both of them lack the basic basketball skills. When they first entered the league, Marion was very poor at dribbling, but he has finally practiced better over the years.But his bones are amazing, he is a one-in-a-million throwback man, no matter how he practices the fluency of dribbling, he can't compare with other stars.Ye Feng's poor basic skills are known to the entire alliance, so there is no need to say more.

Marion's defense is very comprehensive, with blocks and steals ranking among the top ten in the league. In the All-Star Game when Jordan retired, he blocked Jordan's fadeaway jumper twice, which can be seen in general.Ye Feng also relied on his superhuman physical fitness, able to block Kobe's jump shot.

Perhaps Marion's only advantage is that his shots are more accurate than Ye Feng.Ye Feng can only guarantee efficiency when he shoots in high positions. With his shooting posture learned from aliens, Marion can actually guarantee a shooting rate of more than 45% from all positions, and he can also shoot three-pointers. It has to be said that it is a miracle.

After Marion received the ball, the duel between the two began.Under Ye Feng's close defense, Marion couldn't squeeze at all, he staggered to the outside, ready to break through the frame, Ye Feng reached out and almost succeeded in stealing the ball the moment he turned around.Marion was taken aback, and quickly turned back to dribbling the ball again. The Suns' offensive time wasted a lot. At this moment, Marion understood one thing. The defense is really tight.

Marion passed the ball outside, Barbosa broke through with the ball, made an emergency stop jumper and continued to hit the iron.Ye Feng got the backcourt rebound.D'Antoni was very disappointed seeing this scene, Marion couldn't play Ye Feng one-on-one, not to mention fouling, it would be good if he didn't make mistakes.Most of his offenses are done facing the frame and fast breaks. If he can't run, his threat is limited.

Ye Feng passed the ball to Farmar, ran to the Suns half court, leaned against Marion and smiled and said, "Is that how you do it? You can't even turn around and jump? I wonder why the Suns pay you so much."

Marion's jump shot is launched from the height of the chest. How can he turn around and shoot a jump shot? When he attacks with his back, he always turns around and hooks.Following and defending Ye Feng, he was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

In order to stimulate Marion again, Ye Feng decided to make a shot that he usually practiced and had a low shooting percentage. If he used a simple method, it would not be easy to score on Marion. He only uses it once.

Ye Feng asked for the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right, and Farmar lobbed the ball in.Ye Feng recalled Kobe's movements in his mind, he dribbled the ball with his right hand, took a step behind his back, his shoulders swung to the right, his left foot was the pivot, his body quickly turned and jumped towards the baseline, and he shot backwards.

Ye Feng had never attacked like this before in the previous game, Marion never expected him to make such a move, he just raised his hand to interfere.The ball hits the board and hits! 35 to 34, the Lakers overtook the score.

Ye Feng's ball was even more surprising than the dunk.Meyers shouted: "Oh my God, Ye Feng turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper. His movements are very smooth. If he has already mastered this offensive method, it will be difficult to be defended one-on-one."

Sunderland said: "This ball is still hitting the board. It must not be accidental. The shot is too stable."

In fact, it was not stable at all, Ye Feng didn't want to hit the board at all, the shot was missed, but only he himself knew the truth.

Marion was ready to fight back, he pulled up to the high position to catch the ball with the help of Dior's screen, and accelerated towards the inside.The Lakers didn't switch defenses. Ye Feng bypassed Dior, caught up with Marion from behind, and jumped up two steps before the free throw line.

Marion didn't expect Ye Feng to take off early to chase the cap, he only noticed that there was no one under the basket, so he jumped up and dunked with one hand.Ye Feng jumped to Marion's side during the flight, and covered the basketball out of the baseline from behind. Marion lost his balance in the air, flew out of the field, and hit the guardrail heavily.

The referee did not call a foul, and the Suns had the baseline ball.

Many players have already shown what it means to be a strong defense in the league.But with Ye Feng's appearance, things changed. His defense wasn't a matter of toughness, maybe "savage" is a more appropriate description!
