The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 402 [Scoring Showdown]

The Clippers attacked, and Ye Feng passed the ball to Paul Gasol. He showed full trust, but Gasol turned around and missed a jumper again, and Perkins' defense was very successful.

Many people say that in the Celtics VS Lakers in the 2008 finals, Garnett beat Gasol is the main reason for the Celtics to win the championship, but those who watched the game at that time will find that it is just wishful thinking of KG fans just a fabrication.

What happened to Gasol that year?The answer is that he averaged 14 points and 10 rebounds per game while shooting 58 percent from the field.
How strong is Garnett?He averaged 16.6 points and 11 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage was 40%, 2.6 points more than Gasol, and his shooting percentage was 18 percentage points lower.

At first glance, Gasol's scoring average is 4 points lower than before. The result of defending Gasol seems to be a huge piece of fat.But in fact, the Lakers have a super blacksmith who shoots 10% of the field goals. If he misses 11 shots, he will be more determined to shoot the [-]th ball. Gasol lowered his score with fewer shots. Against Gasol, Garnett against Odom.

The man who defended Garnett was Gasol. Under the cover of Gasol's long arms, Garnett, as an inside player, had 60% iron content. This is the real situation, so Pierce took that year's MVP.

Under the defense of powerful center Perkins, Gasol's shooting space and opportunities have been greatly compressed, which is very uncomfortable.This game has also been verified again.

Both sides' offenses were not going well in the opening game. Ye Feng fulfilled his duties as a point guard. He scored two shots for Gasol, one for Smith and one for Love, and all of their shots missed.

On the Thunder side, Durant made one shot, Rose made two shots, and Ibaka made one shot. They also returned without success.

Love took the backcourt rebound and passed it to Ye Feng. No one came up to press. Ye Feng took the ball to the frontcourt and shouted: "Kevin, Paul, pull out to cover! Leave the offense to me."

Ye Feng wants to attack directly with the ball from the backcourt.Perkins was strong enough to squeeze Gasol out of the post and defended both times successfully.But his ability to maneuver defensively on the outside is not so good, so Gasol should withdraw to the outside when facing Perkins and make good use of his footwork and speed, instead of going inside to fight Perkins Fight to the death.

Love went 60 degrees outside the three-point line on the right, Wright went to the baseline, and Smith ran to the left.Gasol pulled to the top of the arc to cover, and the person who changed defense became Perkins.

Ye Feng dribbled the ball in his crotch and turned to the left, Perkins followed, Ye Feng stopped the dribble in his crotch and handed it to his right hand, and started with a step, distanced himself from Perkins, took the ball and hopped with both feet, this step He completely threw off the defense and entered the basket, scoring a dunk with one hand with his right hand! 2 to 0.

The Thunder attacked, Durant missed a jumper, and Ibaka grabbed the rebound and knocked the ball out of the baseline.The ball is dead, the Clippers choose to substitute, Stephen Curry enters, Wright exits.

Wright ran back and forth a few times. He didn't perform much, but he didn't make any mistakes. He was replaced at this time not because he made a mistake, but because Ye Feng controlled the ball to the frontcourt and then launched an attack. It was too exhausting. Replacing Curry can Help him share the pressure, the 2nd position will deal with Sefolosha who has no offensive power, and Curry will not become a defensive loophole.

Wright finally started once, but was soon replaced. He was very depressed, but he could only accept the arrangement.The Clippers' substitution was a signal that Ye Feng was about to attack.

Curry went to the frontcourt, Ye Feng caught the ball and went to the right, and made an emergency stop and missed a jumper. Durant switched defenses and the interference was successful.The rebound was picked up by Perkins and passed to Rose, who took the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Durant who ran out of the perimeter.

Ibaka screened, Durant broke through with the ball, and made an emergency stop on the right to make a jump shot! 2 to 2.

This trick is simple and effective. It is difficult to be guarded by a person with a height advantage. Durant's most powerful trick is this quick jumper.

The Clippers attacked, Curry dribbled the ball across half court, Ye Feng pulled to the outside pick-and-roll, Curry used his cover to dribble the ball from the left, and Ye Feng ran to the right to receive the ball.

Durant could only switch defenses, and Curry passed back to Ye Feng on the outside to single Rose.This is a dislocation of height disparity. Ye Feng dribbled the ball under his crotch twice, and took a step outside the top of the arc to face Ross and took a three-point shot. Although Ross bounced well, he was too short to cover him, and the ball was hit steadily. ! 5 to 2.

"Magic" Johnson shouted: "Ye Feng's advantage has been brought into play. One-on-one with the guard, Rose can't defend him. The Thunder can't relax their defense against Curry. He will almost certainly make an open mid-range shot."

Curry's biggest feature is the pick-and-roll offense, and the one-step emergency stop jumper is very accurate.As long as he is not injured, he is a very suitable guard for the Clippers, shooting better than Thornton.

Within the Clippers this season, the competition between Thornton and Curry has also intensified, and there must be only one person left, which they all know very well.Thornton thought that he had no playing time and was always a substitute, so the possibility of staying was relatively small, but in fact it was the opposite.Thibodeau has thought about this issue. Using Curry more is to allow Thornton to accept a lower offer to renew his contract next summer. He is a second-round rookie. Generally, no team will give him a big contract. Curry is different. There are many teams paying attention to him, and the transaction value is also great.

The coaching staff doesn't want to send out the trained stars, but Curry has a potential ankle injury, and it is impossible to sign with a low salary. If it is a ten million contract, there will be five ten million players in the Clippers Players at the annual salary level will pay a lot of luxury taxes.

The Thunder attacked, Durant passed to Rose, who broke through the screen and scored with a throw. 5 to 4.

Ye Feng once again screened and rolled Curry, which was a very powerful move. All the inside players were pulled out, and Smith alone attracted the defense in the low post.The Thunder had to switch defenses. At this time, Love gave Ye Feng an off-ball screen from the outside. Curry passed the ball back and became Ibaka's defense.

Ye Feng dribbled the ball under the crotch from the outside and dribbled behind the back to pass Ibaka's inside line, attracting Sefolosha to make up the defense and pass the ball. Smith made an open jumper. 7 to 4.

The Clippers focused their offense on the perimeter, and the Thunder began to feel overwhelmed.

Durant missed another jumper, Love took the backcourt rebound, the Clippers broke fast, and Rose had to keep up with Ye Feng.Ye Feng received a long pass from Smith at the free throw line. He dribbled a step with his back against Rose, resisting the opponent's turn and low-handed basketball. 9 to 4.

"Magic" Johnson shouted: "Once the Clippers break fast, Ye Feng will definitely form a misalignment with the opponent's guard. This is the most difficult to defend. If the Thunder want to win, the offensive efficiency must be higher."

Van Gundy asked: "Did you like to beat guards who bullied each other like this back then?"

Johnson said with a smile: "I don't have the exaggerated physical fitness of Ye Feng. People in that era were still relatively thin. If Ye Feng was in that era, he would definitely rule the league."

Van Gundy was taken aback and said, "Do you think he is stronger than Jordan?"

Johnson did not deny it, and said sternly: "I can be sure that he is more comprehensive than Jordan. He can play five positions regardless of offense and defense. He is too strong."

At this time, Rose dribbled the ball horizontally to find a screen to break through. He changed direction and accelerated to pass Gasol. For a one-handed dunk, Ye Feng quickly rushed to the basket from the outside, and the defense was in place, pushing the ball down from the air.

Both of them use their right hands, there is not much difference in height, Ye Feng has the advantage in strength, Ibaka lost his balance in the air, and fell sideways on the ground, the referee did not call a foul, the ball was clearly seen, there was no hitter.

After landing, Ye Feng picked up the basketball and held it in his arms.Without a fast break, he believes that he will be more sure of throwing the ball into the basket when he is in positional warfare.

Curry took the ball to the frontcourt, Ye Feng took the ball from the outside and turned to face the frame, Durant switched up, he wanted to match up with Ye Feng, he wanted to beat Ye Feng.

Ye Feng wanted Durant to see his new trick at this time. Before the game, the media said that this was a duel between the scoring champions. He wanted people to know who could score better. Even if he failed to defend the scoring champion this season, It's not that skills are inferior to others.

The players all pulled apart, giving the two cores a head-to-head space in the middle. Many fans also stood up. Some people not only supported Durant, but also Ye Feng. They didn't care about the outcome, they just wanted to Want to see a good game.

Ye Feng looked around with the corner of his eye, there was enough space, and he thought about what to do next.He dribbled the ball under his crotch and handed it to his right hand. He leaned forward and suddenly slapped the ball to Durant's left back.At the same time, he slid his body to the left.

Durant hurriedly followed. He thought it was a change of direction and the ball would break through from the left side. He looked closely at Ye Feng's empty hands.When Durant was taken aback, Ye Feng had already stopped and changed direction, running to the position just now to get the ball.

He actually tried to pass the ball!Durant turned his center of gravity in a hurry and almost fell.Ye Feng picked up the basketball and shot a jumper. Sefolosha missed the defense and the ball went into the net! 11 to 4.

The referee kept his whistle in his mouth and did not call a foul. If a player accidentally dribbled the ball away and turned around to catch up and dribble again, how could he call a foul?Ye Feng's feint was similar to that situation, it was just intentional.

Durant was tricked again.In order to take care of his face, the fans at the scene did not applaud Ye Feng, but he still felt very depressed.He wanted to return one, so he covered for Rose first, and asked for the ball in the frontcourt. Ye Feng knew what he meant, and deliberately gave Rose the space to pass the ball back, and softly said in front of Durant: "Come on! Try playing one! "

"I'm gonna beat you!" Durant yelled, raising his hand for the ball.

In the past four years, Durant has never defeated Ye Feng once. This is the most depressing thing for him since he entered the league. He must win once, otherwise he will never be mentally blocked.Just because of Ye Feng's existence, no matter how hard he tried, people couldn't see him. When he was mentioned, he was not only praised, but also regretted

Rose passes the ball to Durant, the other players pull away, Durant is going to attack!
