The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 416 [Big Four]

The Clippers had a perfect season last year. People thought it would be difficult for them to achieve last year's record and high level. Unexpectedly, the shrinking season could not stop the Clippers from moving forward.

After 13 consecutive victories, the media used the "Big 4" to describe the current Clippers.Of course, the core is Ye Feng. Pau Gasol, Josh Smith, and Kevin Love also played well and put up beautiful statistics.

大加索尔20.4分8.4篮板3.2助攻1.4盖帽；史密斯重回首发阵容数据提升16.7分7.8篮板2.6助攻；乐福16.2分11.4篮板；加上叶锋场均23.8分5.4篮板9.3助攻；四人每场比赛能联手轰下78分。再加上斯蒂芬.库里、马克.加索尔场均得分也能上双，索顿、希尔偶尔爆发，快船几乎不可战胜。即使防守不好，他们也能用进攻击垮对手。

In the latest team strength rankings, the Clippers won all the votes and ranked first.Fanatical Los Angeles fans also began to play slogans such as "66 consecutive victories" and "130 points per game" at home.Ye Feng did not have a super performance of scoring 50+ points, but the lack of support from the fans did not diminish at all.

People began to feel that the smooth offense with more blooming points, and the double-digit scoring by multiple people is also very interesting. The success of the Clippers team is what Los Angeles fans are looking forward to today.The single-season team average scoring record was created by the Denver Nuggets in the 1981-1982 season, averaging 126.5 points per game. This season, the Clippers can score 128 points. If they keep it until the end, they will break that dusty record. Become the team with the most points in a single season in NBA history.

In the ongoing All-Star voting, Ye Feng is far ahead and is sure to win the vote. Barkley said that fans all over the world are voting for him.It doesn't take the whole world, as long as one Chinese fan votes for one vote, it is enough to surpass everyone.

Pau Gasol, Kevin Love, and Josh Smith also had a high number of votes, which is probably due to the support of Chinese fans. I love my house and I love it. Because of Yao Ming, Francis averaged 16.6 points per game and shot 4% from the field. The performance has been selected as the All-Star starter, and now the three Clippers also have a great chance to be selected as the All-Star starter. A team with 4 starters is definitely an unprecedented event.

Ye Feng knew that Josh Smith really wanted to be in the All-Star, and it didn't matter if the other two had already made it, so he helped Smith to canvass votes during the interview, saying that he sacrificed his statistics for the team, and if he was allowed to make more shots, He can also average 20 points per game. I hope the fans can vote for him.Carmelo Anthony moved to the east, and the competition for the western striker is slightly smaller, and Smith is still very likely to be selected.

This is the first time for Ye Feng to participate as a defender. This season, he has always been the starting No. 2 or No. 1 position. His statistics are also inclined to guards. The league also feels that it is inappropriate to use him as a forward.This season should see him start alongside Kobe at guard.Despite the recent rumors that Kobe will be traded by the Lakers, he still has a large number of fans.In the "96 Golden Generation", Iverson was rumored to be bankrupt, and Marbury was far away in China. Only Ray Allen and Kobe continued to persist, and Kobe was in the best condition.

As long as Kobe is selected for the All-Star Game this year, it will be his 14th All-Star selection, which will tie Jordan and Lakers legend Jerry West.Kobe is very annoying this season, and the rumors of trading made him very annoyed when he was determined to win the championship.Off the court, the breakdown of his marriage with his wife Vanessa and the subsequent derailment rumors made Kobe even more anxious.The All-Star Game may give him some psychological comfort.

On January 1, the Clippers' home game against the Timberwolves unexpectedly attracted attention.There is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, but there are still many things to watch. People want to know how many points the Clippers can win. This is an attractive place.Every time they play the Timberwolves, the Clippers can explode with amazing energy. This season, the Timberwolves' defense is the worst in the league.

Minnesota games often make people very happy to watch.Although their strength is poor, they are happy to play against their opponents every game, and the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions is very fast, which is puzzling.

Timberwolves' head coach is Rambis, and Adelman didn't come, because the latter is still the head coach of the Rockets, and the picked-up champion made the Rockets still trust Adelman.

Rambis is a bad coach. He didn't bring any brilliant tactics to the team, only some strange arrangements.For example, one of the weirdest things in the NBA is that the Timberwolves keep sending the ball to Milicic in the low post, and he is not good at offense at all.He has poor offensive instincts, keeps dropping the ball and doesn't draw fouls.Still, he has a higher possession rate than point guard Ridnour.

The Timberwolves' reliance on Milicic on the offensive end is a bit inexplicable, but he is still easy to use on the defensive end.His block rate is third among centers, his defensive efficiency is excellent, and his wingspan at the basket can make up for his teammates' shortcomings, but his rebounding is disappointing.Not a rebounder.But if the Timberwolves just use his defensive attributes, he can really come in handy.

The bad thing is, apart from Milicic, the Timberwolves have no one else who is good at defense, and the offense is not very good. Without Love, they have no core players. It's too crazy, there is no state, and the data has dropped to 14 points.Derek Williams, the second pick this year, can only play as a substitute because of Beasley. His shooting percentage has just reached [-]%, which is not very good.

In order to strengthen the defense, the Timberwolves arranged for Beasley and Derek Williams to start together, and Wesley Johnson on the outside to defend Ye Feng.But as soon as the game started, the Clippers broke out, relying on the advantage of the outside line, Love evacuated the inside line to the outside to cover, allowing Ye Feng to catch the ball smoothly and score consecutively.Ye Feng made 12 of 8 shots in the first quarter and assisted his teammates to score many times.

Ye Feng took the ball from the outside, and Love formed a dislocation after covering.Center Milicic has to fight in the low post, so Beasley can only switch defenses. His defense seems to be carefree, and Ye Feng can easily shake out the shooting space.On Williams, the lateral movement is not fast enough, and Ye Feng can shoot jump shots with just one step of activation.Like Beasley, Williams is a "non-descript" player, short at the 4th position and slow at the 3rd position.And his shooting is not good enough, he is a weakened version of Beasley.

After playing for 4 minutes, Rambis saw that it was not enough, and began to ask the players to double-team Ye Feng. He began to divide the ball, and Love made 5 of 3 outside three-pointers.

The Timberwolves' defense is poor and their offense is blocked. The Clippers can relax their defense against Rubio on the periphery and guard against Beasley. The offense of others is too poor.In the first quarter, the gap between the two sides was widened by 20 points. The Timberwolves were one-on-one and no one could defend Ye Feng.

Rubio finally landed in the NBA, but his performance was not satisfactory.He is called the golden boy by others, and he is indeed amazing. He has already amazed the world in the 2008 Olympics. Since the start of the game, his average of 8.6 assists per game has continued to shock the NBA. His arrival has connected the Timberwolves' offense well.What makes people helpless is that Rubio's shooting is really bad, and he can miss the ball even if he is open.Because it is easier to defend Rubio, the Clippers can boldly use Stephen Curry and have a stronger starting attack.

If Rubio's shooting can be slightly improved, the pressure on Beasley and Milicic will be shared in the interior, at least it will not be a situation where the Clippers simply ignore Rubio's holding the ball.This season, Rubio's shooting rate is only 36%. The prodigy's golden light has been greatly affected. To put it bluntly, Rubio is an iron god.

The starters couldn't beat, and the Timberwolves' bench was even worse.They didn't bring in Barea as smoothly as Ye Feng did in his previous life this season. They lost an attacker in the team, and now Barea is in the Wizards.Anthony. Randolph, Pekovic, Webster, Ellington, Ridnour partner second team.

The Clippers didn't pay attention to defense this time, so Tony Allen and Barnes took turns to rest.Isaiah Thomas and Thornton were replaced on the outside, Hill served as No. 3, and Marc Gasol and Yi Jianlian were on the inside.

Pekovic is physically strong, Thibodeau did not arrange for Gasol Jr. to attack in the low post, and gave Thomas and Thornton the right to fire, and let Yi Jianlian and Gasol Jr. take charge of the cover.

Thomas lived up to expectations and turned the Timberwolves defense upside down.He is so fast that it is difficult for even the guards to keep up, not to mention the Timberwolves' two tall insiders, Gasol Jr.'s high screen, Thomas' breakthrough, and Pekovic's weakness of slow movement.Thornton was active on the bottom line, relying on Yi Jianlian's screen to run without the ball. After receiving a pass from Thomas, he could also attack the basket in a misplaced manner.

The Clippers have an obvious height advantage when the two insiders are pulled out.After the dislocation, Marc Gasol made two mid-range shots, and Yi Jianlian also hit a three-pointer.Timberwolves players also scored, but the score was quickly stretched to more than 30 points, and the strength gap between the two sides was obvious.

Ye Feng only played 18 minutes in this game. He sat on the sidelines and chatted throughout the second half. He still scored 22 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.Pau Gasol, Love, and Smith also came off the field early to rest.

What is different from the past is that this time the Clippers' two defensive players rested. Even if they have a big lead, the main force is not on the line, and the offensive is still raging.A strange thing happened in the second half. In the third quarter, the Timberwolves' starter failed to beat the Clippers' substitute, and the score continued to widen.At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers had scored more than 109 points, leading 71 to [-].

Thomas, Thornton, and Grant Hill all tried their best to prove themselves. Dorell Wright didn't have many chances to play, and was still sitting on the sideline depressed.In the last 6 minutes, Yi Jianlian played as a guest center, and Wright also played to replace Gasol Jr., leading the four minors and continuing to strengthen the offense.

Under the exciting confrontation, it is obviously garbage time, the fans are still cheering excitedly, applauding the substitute players, now it is not easy to watch the Clippers and their opponents fight to the last minute, the fans are now paying attention to the high score .In this game, the Clippers did not let them down.With 4 minutes left in the game, the score broke the 140 mark...
