The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 406 [Hungry Wolf Incarnates Assist King]

Pau Gasol jumps over Joel Anthony.There is a height gap of nearly 10 centimeters between the two. Gasol's wingspan is one of the best in the league. Even if his jumping ability is average, his jumping performance is also good.

Smith received the basketball and passed it to Tony Allen, who handed it to Ye Feng in the frontcourt.The Heat still let James defend Ye Feng, and Love went to the outside to help him cover and catch the ball.

Ye Feng didn't have much thought to compete with James anymore, he was more and more interested in assisting his teammates.The ball was passed to his hands, he faced Bosh without the main attack, and moved the ball horizontally to the left, hanging to Josh Smith in the low post.

Smith was on the left, Gasol was on the right, and Ye Feng chose the left.Smith has an advantage in playing Wade in the low post. He immediately turned to the baseline after receiving the ball and shot with one hand.As a left-hander, this is Smith's most powerful move. He turns around quickly and bounces faster. People who are not tall can't block shots. Wade can only interfere, and the ball hits the board and enters the frame. 2 to 0.

The biggest weakness of the Heat is in the low post. The whole league knows that if James goes to defend Smith, the effect will be very good, but Ye Feng doesn't know what will happen on the outside.

Chalmers dribbled the ball and prepared to go to the frontcourt. As soon as the ball was delivered, Ye Feng pressed forward and blocked Chalmers in the backcourt.

Chalmers, who had stayed in the Clippers, was heartbroken when he saw Ye Feng defending him. He could only try his best to protect the basketball, but he couldn't make it through. Smith led the half court, the Clippers did not switch defenses, Ye Feng chased Chalmers again, and the attack time had passed 8 seconds, Smith also defended James closely, with his arms open to interfere non-stop, Tony Allen also Not letting go of Wade, the defensive intensity of the Clippers' outside three in the opening game already seemed to be playing in the fourth quarter of the playoffs.

Bosh screened, James caught the ball and rushed inside, and Gasol switched defenses.James has been brought to the low post, covering the basketball with his back, and leaning on Gasol to drive inside.

Last season, James finally realized the importance of back-up offense. With his size, it is a waste of not being back-up.Once he has practiced his back, he will be even more powerful.

Leaning on Gasol, James turned sharply in the middle and threw the ball with one hand! 2 to 2.

Barkley said: "Ye Feng used to imitate James when he first entered the league, but now James is imitating Ye Feng. This is the offensive method Ye Feng often uses."

Kenny Smith said: "Look at the Clippers' offense. Only by defending can the Heat have a chance of winning."

Tony Allen was transported to the frontcourt and handed over to the Ye Feng organization who was pulled to the outside. Wade took the initiative to follow up and defended. James entered the low post and followed Smith.Wade went all out, what he had to do was try not to let Ye Feng turn around.

"I'll let you know right away, you can't stop me." Ye Feng thought to himself, he turned his back to observe the situation, his teammates pulled away, Love didn't come out to cover, and his teammates had confidence in him.

Ye Feng protected the ball with his back and hit Wade hard twice. Wade took half a step back. Ye Feng held the ball in his right hand, turned to the right and rushed into the three-point line.And after he turned around, he didn't speed up, relying on Wade to slowly dribble to the inside, he used his physical advantage to the extreme, Wade was on the side, but he was squeezed and couldn't take off, even if he wanted to distance himself from Ye Feng. , Ye Feng leaned on him deliberately to move forward.

To deal with "The Flash", Ye Feng used "Three Steps Slower", Kidd could keep up with this speed, but Wade had no choice but to watch him make a layup. 4 to 2.

After scoring the goal, Ye Feng caught up with Chalmers again, and this time he started pressing after halftime.He didn't reach out to steal, but just judged Chalmers' passing route and interfered while following the defense.

James received the ball again, relying on the cover to avoid Smith and break through to the inside. This time Love switched defenses. His speed is not inferior to that of Gasol, and his strength is stronger. Board shot hit. 4 to 4.

"This guy has also improved, if it wasn't for a fast person blocking him, it would be very difficult to guard against him." Ye Feng thought.In the past, he and Smith defended against James. Now the Heat are preparing to use mobility to counter the height of the Clippers. It is a bit risky, but it is indeed a solution.

Heat coach Spoelstra put a lot of effort into this game.His biggest trump card is James' main attack, covering James, one person can't block it, and the second person will come up to block it.In short, let James avoid Smith and Ye Feng, and match up with the two insiders of the Clippers.If the Heat were willing to do this last season, maybe the Clippers would not have won so easily, but Spoelstra chose Wade, who has no height advantage.

The Clippers attacked, and Wade still followed Ye Feng. This time he asked for the ball to the right, and Tony Allen dropped the ball in from a 45-degree angle.Ye Feng first took the ball with his back to observe the situation. Seeing that Gasol moved to this side, he immediately chose to turn to the middle. Gasol blocked Wade's way, and Bosh switched defenses.

Ye Feng turned to the middle and then threw the ball with one hand, but it was not a shot. Gasol turned around and went to the baseline, Wade was unable to control him outside the penalty area.The ball was thrown to the basket, and the pass was very low. Gasol jumped up in time and dunked the basketball with both hands! 6 to 4.

Barkley exclaimed: "Beautiful! Ye Feng is really a point guard now, and he sent two assists in the opening game. He is too smart and can always pass the ball to the right position to attack the opponent's weakness."

Kenny Smith said: "He and Gasol have a good understanding. Some experts analyzed that Gasol is very suitable for the Clippers, and it is true."

The Heat attacked, and Ye Feng returned to the defense and shouted: "Combined defense, compress the defense!"

James scored two goals in a row. At this time, he could not be allowed to approach the penalty area easily. Ye Feng followed Chalmers on the outside, Tony Allen followed James, and Smith, Love, and Gasol occupied the penalty area. Wire.They want to block the inside line.

Tony Allen suffered from a height disadvantage, but he still went to defend James. This was Thibodeau's arrangement before the game started. Thibodeau discovered a detail, that is, James has not shot a three-pointer since the start of the new season.Maybe he wants to ensure efficiency, as long as he doesn't shoot three-pointers, Allen can defend him.

Ye Feng and Chalmers on the outside are to defend against three-pointers. Wade's three-pointers have been worse this season. Wherever he moves, whoever goes out to defend against penetration or not.If the Heat screens, Smith switches to James.

In the first four games of the finals, the Clippers used this method to defend, and the restrictions on Wade and James were very successful.James went to the low post on the right to ask for the ball, and the others pulled away. Chalmers passed the ball to Wade and ran to the baseline.The Clippers immediately changed to a 32-zone defense, Smith resisted James, Gasol and Bosh reached a high position.Without space, the Heat just created one-on-one opportunities for James.

Smith's speed is faster than Gasol's, and his bullet speed is also high. He is better defensively against James. James' back dribble is very similar to that, but he is not good at using strength to force opponents. Smith is not afraid of this In one hand, he is very strong, and Ye Feng can't squeeze him when he hits back. James turned around and made a jumper, but Smith interfered and the ball went wide.

Love got stuck inside in time, Ye Feng immediately ran to the frontcourt, Tony Allen also moved quickly.Love took the backboard and handed it to Smith.James returned to the defense quickly and did not put pressure on Smith, allowing him to pass the ball easily.

In the Clippers, all players responsible for grabbing rebounds have to practice long passes. Smith practiced almost like a football quarterback. He accurately passed a one-handed pass to Ye Feng who rushed to the left three-point line. , Chalmers went to talk to Tony Allen.

After receiving the ball, Ye Feng turned around and jumped up, and passed the ball to Tony Allen with both hands. The latter caught the ball in the middle and scored with Chalmers' left backhand! 8 to 4.

Ye Feng sent the third assist. Chalmers played in the Clippers. Ye Feng knew who was better in a one-on-one match between him and Allen. Tony Allen had an advantage in physical fitness, faster speed, and good performance Breakthrough ability, he can also score!
James felt uncomfortable, and he was good at taking the ball outside to organize, but the effect was not good.The Clippers' defense is tighter.Gasol's defense is not bad, he is too tall, it is inconvenient to break through when standing under the basket, and he has a certain deterrent effect.

Love now often pulls outside, and the number of rebounds has been reduced to 11, just to let Gasol sacrifice data at the basket.His rebounding data is poor, but the Clippers are stronger than before. Gasol is stronger than McGee in single defense. Gasol has a wealth of experience, can help defend, but also against people.

The Clippers attacked, Tony Allen led the ball to the frontcourt, Love pulled to the top of the arc, and helped Ye Feng block Wade.Ye Feng received the ball, James switched defenses, and Joel Anthony followed up with Smith in the low post.

The Heat also switched to a zone defense similar to the Clippers, relaxing their defense against Tony Allen, and Chalmers was one-on-one with him.Ye Feng took a step sideways and attracted James to defend. At this time, Love squeezed Wade to the middle to ask for the ball, and Ye Feng passed the ball in.Le Fu received the ball and leaned on Wade, took advantage of the situation and reached the basket, and made three steps to the basketball. 10 to 4.

Wade was so crowded that he couldn't jump up again. At this time, he wished he could grow 10 centimeters taller.Love is not limited to jump shots. If he has a big advantage after being misplaced, he will also make an air cut. Ye Feng sent out the fourth assist.

Barkley said with a smile: "Ye Feng was interviewed before the game and said that his goal is to win the season and defend the title. Looking at the current situation, maybe there is really no team in the league that can pose a threat to the Clippers. Love has also improved this season. , He averaged 16 points and 11 rebounds per game, plus Gasol's 20+9 data, the Clippers' inside line is the top three in the league, if not the strongest, and their outside line must be the first in the league."

Kenny Smith said: "That's true. Even if you don't talk about offense, Smith, Ye Feng, and Tony Allen can defend the entire league. The performance of the Heat's Big Three today is not as good as in previous games."

As soon as the words fell, Wade missed a jumper under the interference of Gasol, Love grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the Heat quickly returned to defense.They returned to defense quickly enough that they almost gave up fighting for offensive rebounds, leaving Joel Anthony alone in the frontcourt.

Tony Allen took the ball to the frontcourt, Chalmers interfered, and Ye Feng used the cover to get the ball.The Clippers started a double pick-and-roll, Love helped Ye Feng get the ball, and Gasol helped Ye Feng get rid of James and entered the three-point line from the left.

Bosh switched defenses.The Heat took good care of Ye Feng and prevented him from easily taking the ball to attack. Once he made a smooth shot, the Heat would definitely lose.Ye Feng didn't have a strong desire to score today, he just wanted to assist.He is addicted to assists this season.

After the pick-and-roll, Gasol formed a dislocation, James implemented a defense around the front, and Wade defended Love on the outside.

Love squeezed Wade away and ran towards Ye Feng, Ye Feng passed the ball, Love caught the ball and made a jump shot.Usually at this time he would pause, pass the ball to Ye Feng to cover, and do similar work, but this shot was so sudden that Wade didn't even react.

Love's basketball IQ is also very high. Now that Gasol is inside and James is defending around the front, if he shoots immediately, Gasol will not be called for a three-second violation, and it will be easier to grab offensive rebounds.Ye Feng has dealt with James in this way. Gasol is 215cm tall and has a more obvious position advantage.

After seeing all this, Love shot very resolutely, with perfect rhythm and arc, and the ball was scored! 12 to 4.

The score began to increase, and Ye Feng unknowingly got 5 assists. Every time he distributed the ball, he was very reasonable. He learned a lot from Kidd, and he improved.

The defender with the most assists in history, Stockton, doesn’t have many tricks in his play. Apart from his passing awareness, he relies more on his understanding of his teammates. He knows where his teammates are best at receiving the ball and where they are best at receiving the ball. Can score the ball and pass the ball to form an assist.

Ye Feng is also doing the same now, protecting the basketball, observing his teammates' running positions, and passing the ball to his teammates' good scoring positions in time.

After studying with Kidd for two years, Ye Feng has made great progress in passing the ball.Kidd knew that he was going to play a guard, and when he left, he said to him: "As long as you focus on your teammates' running positions and pass when you see an opportunity, you should get more assists than me, because your personal offense is strong and can attract teams. Clamping, this is the easiest time to assist."

Ye Feng firmly believed in this, and he started to do the same.

The Heat attacked, Bosh took the ball in a high position and turned around, one step away from Love, turned around and made a jumper! 12 to 6.

The Clippers attacked, and Ye Feng ran for the ball as soon as halftime passed. This time he used Gasol's cover to break through to the inside, dribbled the ball under his crotch, passed Joel Anthony, and broke into the basket.

His mind was all on assists, and he observed his teammates' running positions from the corner of his eye. He jumped up with the ball in one hand under the basket, first pulled the bar to avoid Joel Anthony's chasing cap on the side, and James let go on the other side. Smith defended and blocked the shot. Ye Feng didn't make a backhand layup. When the ball was about to hit the ground, he returned the ball to his left hand and passed it from James to Smith. 14 to 6.

Less than half of the first quarter, Ye Feng had already assisted 6 times, revitalizing the whole team.
