The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 435 [Hungry wolf fires with all its strength, Jazz has no choice]

Josh Howard ran to the left baseline, attracted Gasol's defense, and there was an empty space inside...

Howard played very smartly. He opened the distance with Ye Feng on the weak side. Gasol let go of Jefferson and went out. Howard caught the ball to attract the defense and gave it to Jefferson in the low post. Wanting to dunk with one hand, Ye Feng got to the basket in time, jumped up with all his strength, intercepted Jefferson under the basket, and accurately pressed the basketball on the basketball with the movement of a volleyball net.

Jefferson's strength was very strong, but he dunked with one hand, while Ye Feng had two hands, so he suffered a disadvantage immediately, and the dunk was blocked.

The ball was not blocked, Jefferson stood still after landing, picked up the basketball again, resisted Ye Feng with his back, and made a second attack under the basket, but Ye Feng's strength was beyond his imagination.

In the first season, the two faced each other in the paint. At that time, Jefferson could take care of Ye Feng in the low post. Later, Ye Feng was not in charge of resisting, so the two didn't have many chances to face each other.Jefferson forgot that Ye Feng was only 19 years old at that time, and now he is almost 24 years old, and his strength has improved.

Ye Feng resisted Jefferson, and jumped up to block the block with all his strength, this time with one hand, he slammed Jefferson's shot from the edge of the basket!
Jefferson was blocked twice and was humiliated.He made the same mistake as Kenyon Martin back then. It would be foolish to attack Ye Feng without believing in evil.

The ball was picked up by Smith and held in his arms.

Ye Feng set off another small climax.The fans chanted MVP together, and everyone's ears were buzzing.Jazz head coach Ty Corbin knew there was a gap in strength between the two teams, but he didn't expect it to show up in the opening game.Jefferson is the boss of the Jazz, and his continuous offense has been blocked, which has a great impact on the morale of the team.

The Clippers attacked, Harris pressed all the way, Curry still brought the ball across half court, Love pulled to the outside without the ball to cover, helped Ye Feng get rid of Bell, Curry immediately delivered the ball.

Ye Feng took the ball and moved to the side, Josh Howard followed up, Jefferson and Okur were both in the low post, followed by Gasol and Smith.

The players all pulled away, Ye Feng turned to the left and led to the inside, Howard followed two steps and bumped into Gasol's body, Gasol's cover was just right.

Okur switched defenses, and Ye Feng had an obvious advantage. He passed Okur with the ball in his left hand and broke through from the baseline. Smith immediately pulled out to create space for Ye Feng.

During the run, Ye Feng took the ball and swayed it to the outside, pretending to pass the ball.Jefferson paused for a moment, trying to block the passing route. After half a second of hesitation, Ye Feng withdrew his hand and jumped up, dunking the basketball with his backhand! 8 to 0.

The Clippers went crazy in the opening game, and so did the fans. Ye Feng's three consecutive dunks completely lifted the atmosphere on the court.

Some fans put up the slogan "101 points" in the auditorium, hoping that Ye Feng would score more.His style of play has become more and more mature, he often supports the offense, and his scoring is not as fierce as when he first arrived in the Clippers.Playing like this is good for the team, but fans who want to watch the stars score will be disappointed. Many people like to watch the stars play singles. They don't understand tactics at all, let alone pay attention.

Jefferson pulled to the perimeter to cover for Harris. The latter broke through with the ball and matched up with Gasol. He failed to find a shot and passed the ball outside. Jefferson received the ball from the perimeter and leaned on Smith to turn around and shoot. The ball finally went in. 8 to 2.

Jefferson's skills are also very comprehensive, with accurate mid-range shooting in the high post and strong attack in the low post.

The Clippers attacked, and Ye Feng still advanced inside to get the ball. It depends on the Jazz's defensive arrangement to decide how to play. Howard followed very closely and adopted a circle forward. Ye Feng couldn't attack directly, so he ran back with Love's cover Get the ball outside.

After the misalignment, Ye Feng faced Jefferson again.He started a dribbling performance on the periphery, his movements seemed to be dancing and rhythmic, he stepped down and dribbled continuously, and everyone else had already pulled away, and no one came up to double-team.Now the players on the Clippers are shooting very well, double-teaming is equal to giving a big gift.But without double-teaming, Jefferson was under too much pressure.

Ye Feng swayed out a little space and made a jump shot! 10 to 2.He felt very good today, scoring 10 points in a row.

Jazz head coach Corbin shook his head anxiously, what if he couldn't guard Ye Feng one-on-one?Double-team now, and get slaughtered by the Clippers like those teams did in the regular season?He didn't want to do that, and there was no one to replace him.

The Jazz attacked. After many passes, Bell relied on the screen to get a chance and made a three-pointer from the baseline. 10 to 5.

In the next round, Ye Feng finally passed the ball. He felt that if he played endlessly, his teammates' hands would be cold. If the Jazz suddenly started double-teaming and his teammates couldn't open it, it would be a failure.So he took the ball from the outside, attracted Jefferson's defense, and then lobbed it to the left low post to Smith, allowing him to single Howard, which is also a misplacement.

Smith turned around and missed a jumper, and the Clippers' scoring momentum finally came to an end.The Clippers missed shots for three consecutive rounds, and one chance came out. Love also failed to make a shot in the face of Raja Bell.In this game, the state of the Clippers players was not very good.

The Jazz seized the opportunity, and Jefferson made a hook to chase the score to 10-7.

Ye Feng decided to play by himself again, if the defensive strength did not improve, he would not pass the ball.

He went to the low post on the right to ask for the ball, and he faced Jefferson again. After receiving the ball, his right shoulder shook slightly.Jefferson chose to defend close to him this time. Ye Feng likes opponents to step forward close to him. Holding the ball in his right hand, he suddenly turned to the baseline, relying on his explosive power to pass Jefferson and get to the basket.

Jefferson saw that he was passed by, and immediately stretched out his hand to grab Ye Feng, taking a foul.He fouled very quickly, but Ye Feng had more experience. He threw the ball with his right hand and the ball was missed, but got a free throw opportunity.

Ye Feng walked to Jefferson's side, smiled and said: "If you hit like this, I guarantee you will be fined soon."

Jefferson didn't reply, why didn't he know that fouling Ye Feng was useless?But if there is no foul, Ye Feng will definitely dunk again when he enters the paint. He no longer wants to see Ye Feng perform dunks again.

Ye Feng stood at the free throw line, took a deep breath, and made two free throws, 12 to 7.Sweeping all the Clippers' points so far, the fans applauded vigorously again.

Jefferson received the ball in the low post, Gasol missed another shot in the singles, and Smith got the rebound.Love defended Okur to the outside, and the Jazz still couldn't grab offensive rebounds. The Clippers did not lack people who could grab rebounds.

The Jazz kept Jefferson in the frontcourt, and the other four returned to defense quickly after the shot, already afraid of the Clippers' 5-second run and bomb.

Curry passed a pass to Love on the outside line, and Love lobbed the ball to Ye Feng.This time it was Howard who defended alone.After receiving the ball, Ye Feng arched his back four times to the penalty area line, swayed his left shoulder slightly, and turned to the right. Bell on the side stepped forward to double-team the block. Le Fu with a 60-degree angle on the side.Love is already open, and he will never let go of this opportunity. He shoots a three-pointer as soon as he catches the ball, and hits the net hollow!The outside line of the Clippers finally opened. 15 to 7.

The Jazz attacked, Howard relied on the screen to block the opportunity, stopped and missed a jumper, and the rebound was taken by Gasol.The Clippers are firmly in control of the situation.

Ye Feng asked for the ball again, still on the right side, and Howard was still defending him. This time, Bell went to follow Love honestly and did not double-team him.Jefferson followed Smith to the high post and created plenty of space.If Jefferson double-teams, Smith's mid-range shot from the high post is almost guaranteed.

Ye Feng singled out Howard, and immediately told the Jazz what "no solution" is.He squeezed two steps inside with his back turned, first turned around in the middle, and retreated to face the frame. Howard took a small step forward. Ye Feng dribbled the ball with his left hand and passed it to his right hand. Dribble and jump, there is no time interval between the two actions, and the distance is drawn from Howard, both feet take off forward and take another big step, and the basketball is lowered! 17 to 7.

The score stretched to 10 points. The Jazz did not request a timeout or make a substitution. It was not trust in the players on the field, but that there was no one to change, and the level of others was even worse.

Harris broke through with the ball and passed it to Bell. Bell then handed it to Jefferson. Jefferson went inside and missed a layup under the interference of Gasol. It was given to Curry, and Curry passed it on to Ye Feng.Ye Feng dribbled the ball across the frontcourt quickly, turned his head to look at his teammates, and stretched out a finger.

Howard thought that Ye Feng had to wait for his teammates to take their positions, so he breathed a sigh of relief.As soon as Howard exhaled, Ye Feng pulled out his hand at 60 degrees on the right side of the outside line, with a low arc, hitting the back edge of the basket and bouncing in! 20 to 7.

Stretching out his fingers is a fake action to let his teammates know that he is going to shoot. 1 refers to the first shooting method, with a low and flat arc. He has shot a lot of this kind of ball in the past two seasons, and the longer the bounce distance is, the easier it is to rush to the frontcourt. Rebounds, this signal is mainly for Love and Smith.Just 5 minutes into the game, Ye Feng has already scored 17 points, this game exploded!
The Jazz's offense is also difficult.Okur was defended by Love and couldn't easily get a shot. Howard singled Smith and had no advantage at all. He relied on Jefferson's screen, misplaced Gasol, and missed a jumper.Ye Feng returned to the inside line in time, took the backcourt rebound, controlled the rhythm and played positional warfare,

Curry dribbled the ball across half court, Ye Feng relied on the cover to get the ball from the outside, and stretched out another finger at the top of the arc... Facing Howard, Ye Feng has advantages in height and wingspan, so he is still going to force the shot, let Three teammates other than Curry are ready to grab the offensive rebound.

He dribbled the ball under the crotch twice in a row, with his right shoulder protruding forward, looking like he wanted to break through. Howard lowered his center of gravity and prepared to break through the main defense. When he lowered his body, Ye Feng immediately took the ball and pulled it up. It was unreasonable three times. points again!It is still a low flat ball hit! 23 to 7.

Howard thought that Ye Feng wouldn't use the same method a second time, but he didn't expect it to be a dry pull. This shot made him tight, and it was too late to jump up to block the shot.
