The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 407 [Brothers are united, their profit breaks gold]

The Clippers cooperated beautifully, and Ye Feng and Smith clapped their hands hard in the middle of the defense.

Ye Feng actually likes statistics very much, but he doesn't put scoring first.There are strong men like Pau Gasol, Love, and Smith in the team. If you don’t pass the ball and dominate the ball to score points, the fans may not buy it no matter how beautiful the data is. Moreover, it is very tiring to beat yourself like that, which is very stupid. .So Ye Feng decided to use assists, while helping his teammates, he also showed his selflessness and comprehensiveness.

If a player is the starting point of the offense, every offensive ball has to go through his hands, it is easy to assist, all you need is for your teammates to ensure the shooting percentage, Chamberlain won the assists once, he did not rely on superiority Pass awareness.

The Heat players covered James, but they couldn't let James break through successfully. The Clippers three blocked the penalty area, forcing James to attack with shots.

In the last finals, the Heat won two games with outside shooting. If they can't shoot, they can only be defeated. Now the Heat are facing the same problem. This year, James and Wade have reduced their three-point shots, which makes the offense even more difficult to play.Wade catches the ball on the left, makes an emergency stop and jump shot within the three-point line, Love's interference is useless, and the ball goes in! 14 to 8.

Chalmers was followed by Ye Feng, and the offensive end was completely soy sauce. It was impossible for the Heat to give him the ball and let him single-handedly challenge Ye Feng. As long as they attracted Ye Feng's defense away from the penalty area, it would be considered a success if they couldn't help defend and block shots.

The Clippers attacked, but Tony Allen still gave the ball to Ye Feng to organize. Under the double cover, the Heat couldn't stop Ye Feng from receiving the ball, not to mention that he moved very actively.

James bypassed the screen to chase Ye Feng, Joel Anthony began to defend Gasol in the low post, Bosh followed Smith, and Wade defended Love on the outside.The Heat would rather let Love shoot.

Ye Feng didn't pass the ball, this opportunity is not particularly good.Gasol failed to get in position, went around the perimeter to cover Ye Feng, blocked James again, Ye Feng took a step with the ball, Joel Anthony blocked his breakthrough route, and James circled around to defend, Ye Feng passed to Pau Gasol.

Gasol caught the ball and made a three-pointer at the top of the arc. This was another unexpected goal and he made it.

In addition to having perfect basket skills, Pau Gasol has recently become obsessed with three-pointers.When training with the team, he once scored seven goals in a row.His three-point skill has actually been reflected to a certain extent this summer.At the European Championships in September, Gasol made 11 of 7 63.6-pointers, a 15 percent hit rate.He himself said that he can hit 20 to [-] three-pointers in a row.

When the Clippers saw Love constantly practicing three-pointers, Gasol became even more interested and wanted to use this as another weapon of his own.As long as the opportunity is good, Thibodeau also allows him to shoot.He was almost emptied for this ball, and he will never be polite. 17 to 8.

Just 5 minutes into the game, the Clippers' offensive efficiency was astonishingly high. Spoelstra requested a timeout. Ye Feng has only scored two points so far, but the Clippers players have all made shots. More points are better than one person. High scores are even more terrifying.

Barkley said: "Ye Feng has 7 assists now, which is unbelievable. His assists will definitely be in double figures in this game, and he may break his own assist record in a single game. The Heat must have played a lot to defend him before the game. Kung fu, unexpectedly he is mainly passing the ball."

Kenny Smith said: "The most difficult thing is that if the Heat use someone other than James to defend Ye Feng, Ye Feng will be happy to score."

At this time, James hit an outside jumper and returned a three-pointer. 17 to 11.

This is the first time James has taken a three-pointer this season. Before that, the pull-up three-pointer after crossing the dribble outside the three-point line was his signature scoring method.After joining the Heat last season, James, who has improved his outside shooting percentage, still regards the three-pointer as an important offensive weapon.But in the finals, James only made 28 of 9 shots from beyond the three-point line. This caused him to be questioned and criticized like a tide. Shooting from the outside is a waste of good body and outstanding athletic ability.

In the new season, James seems to be used to attacking in the low post. In order to improve his offensive ability in the low post as soon as possible, James specially went to apprentice "Dream" Olajuwon during the offseason, focusing on practicing footwork and offense at the basket.After finishing his studies, he brought back the video tapes, and would watch them repeatedly at home in his spare time, pondering carefully.Low post offense can be said to be a stain on James' career.Previously, there was a consensus in the outside world that if James can learn to attack in the low post, then he is the strongest player in the NBA today.

Three-pointers are an important source of outside criticism of James. At the beginning of the season, James promised to reduce shots outside the three-point line and push the offensive area to the inside as much as possible. After that, the media began to question whether James’ three-pointers had degenerated to the point where he could not shoot. , so he voted again.

In the next game, the feel of the Clippers players finally began to decline, but the Heat were not very good. James and Wade couldn't get into the penalty area, and fell into the dilemma of jumping outside.

Ye Feng started to stand up and score, relying on double screens to break into the paint, caused two fouls by Joel Anthony, made 4 of 3 free throws, and made a mid-range shot from a 45-degree corner.

最后11秒，替补哥哥上场的马克.加索尔接到叶锋分球高位跳投命中，快船33比25领先8分。叶锋单节得到了7分2篮板8助攻，压倒了詹姆斯的9分3篮板2助攻。

Ye Feng basically relies on picking up rebounds now. Unless the defender who is following the defense enters the three-point line, he will not take the risk of missing someone to grab rebounds. The Clippers have a clear division of labor. Very unfavorable.As long as he works a little harder, this triple-double is not difficult.

As long as they take the lead in the first quarter, the Clippers can take the initiative. The rest of the game is Vujacic and Isiah Thomas. In the second quarter, the Clippers sent Curry, Barnes, Hill, Yi Jianlian, Mark . Pau Gasol.

Heat players are Haslem, Bosh, Miller, Mayo, Chalmers.

Bosh did not rest, and the Heat did not have a suitable substitute at position 4. If he went off, Pittman would only be ravaged if he came up.Bosh and Haslem also struggled to defend Marc Gasol.

Gasol Jr. and his brother are completely different players.Gasol's offense is sharp and his feet are flexible.Gasol's movement is relatively slow, and the defensive end is more deterrent.In fact, Gasol's offense is also very sharp, whether it is a strong attack at the basket, a high jumper, or even an air cut.The slow movement is mainly due to his lack of athletic ability and average explosive power. In fact, among players of the same size, his lateral movement is not slow, and even relatively fast. After all, he has a height of 216cm, and he stands under the basket. It is difficult for the opponent to break into the penalty area.

In the first seven games, Gasol averaged 10 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1 block per game, shooting 52% from the field, the data is not bad, and he played 29 minutes.In the Clippers, he also got a lot of offensive opportunities, and his role is the same as his brother's attack and support in the low post, and pulls the high pick-and-roll from time to time.And his value is mainly reflected in the defensive end.When he was on the court, the efficiency of the opponent's center was only 14.8, while his own was 18.8. The suppressing power was obvious, and he significantly enhanced the team's defense. Like his older brother, Gasol seldom made fouls and made few mistakes. Can provide stable help for the team.

The defensive intensity of the Clippers' bench lineup is still very high. Gasol Jr. guards the basket, and Barnes entangles Mayo on the periphery, making it difficult for opponents to play.

The combination of Hill and Curry, one old and one young, provided the Clippers with stable firepower on the outside. The Clippers relied on a beautiful combination of inside and outside to continue to widen the gap.

On the bench, the players all cheered for their teammates. Only Marcus Thornton was depressed and wanted to bang his head against the wall.He is weak and has nowhere to go. He used to be a bit dissatisfied with playing as a substitute and leading the second team to grab points, but now he is not even able to play in the second quarter.

Ye Feng could see the anxiety in his eyes, sat beside him, and said lightly: "Marcus, don't worry, I need to strengthen my defense today, that's why I didn't let you play. In the future, when you show off your power, you will shorten the season and use the lineup. Rotation ensures everyone's state and physical strength, so we can win more easily."

"I understand." Thornton said lightly. Although he understood, he still felt uncomfortable. With less playing time, it would be difficult to get a big contract next season, which was very unfavorable to him.The Clippers uniform team is also aware of this, consciously controlling Thornton's playing time to facilitate future contract extensions.The Clippers are full of talents now, and on the premise of winning, the Clippers can do this.Thornton had no choice but to accept the result. With the contract in hand, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

Barnes hardly played in a few games, and he gave full play when he came on the court. His physical strength is not comparable to Mayo who played more than 35 minutes per game.The Clippers also took the initiative in the second quarter.

Heat head coach Spoelstra felt helpless about this. The Clippers had too many substitutes. He was very jealous. He thought that if Thornton was in the Heat, he would definitely become an important substitute for the team. The same goes for Wright. With Vujacic, if these people give to the Heat, their strength can be improved.These people are just the marginal people of the Clippers.

Wade and James took a 4-minute break before appearing on the court, chasing 6 points in a row.The Clippers quickly replaced Ye Feng, Smith, Pau Gasol, and Tony Allen, replacing Barnes, Hill, Yi Jianlian, and Curry.This is the Clippers' strongest defensive lineup.

The Heat's four star players are all present, and the defense is weak.The Gasol brothers have a stronger defense in the interior than Gasol dubbed Love. They can block the entire penalty area and have an obvious height advantage.

Bosh and Haslem could only pull outside for mid-range shots, Wade and James couldn't get in, and the Heat became a shooting team.The Heat also use zone defense to limit the Clippers' breakthroughs, but the Clippers can pass the ball to the low post for Gasol to attack, and Ye Feng from the outside line can also use his height advantage to pull up jump shots. The situation is always firmly in the hands of the Clippers.
