The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 436 [Great disparity in strength, 56 points to win! 】

Seeing Ye Feng's data on the Internet, TN*T, ESPN and other radio stations felt that it was correct not to choose the Clippers game for the live broadcast.

There are many reasons for Ye Feng's outbreak. The Jazz don't have anyone who is strong in single defense. Raja Bell is known as a defensive expert. Now his state has declined too much, and even at his peak, he was only relatively tight with others.Kobe's career-high 50 points in the playoffs was achieved under his defense.Ye Feng's back move is enough to deal with Bell.

Josh Howard's state is even more incomparable to when he was in the Mavericks. His statistics were enough to be selected for the All-Star Game.Even with his thin body, he has nothing to do with Ye Feng.What's more, Ye Feng is not the only strong swingman of the Clippers, Josh Smith's impact is also very strong.With these two, the Jazz have no chance of winning.

The Jazz are no longer the strong team that could attack and defend well.As early as when Sloan and the Jazz parted ways and Deron Williams was sent away, the Jazz embarked on the road of reconstruction. Although they made the playoffs, they were "internal and external troubles."

The "internal worry" is the height of the inside players. One of the reasons for the Jazz's poor record last season was the weak inside defense. Millsap and Jefferson can attack, but they are too short.

"Foreign invasion" is that Devin Harris and Deron Williams are not comparable at all. Harris came to a new environment and a new system, but failed to perform at a high level.

Ye Feng scored 7 points in less than 20 minutes in the first quarter. Jazz coach Corbin finally requested a timeout and prepared to formulate tactics for defending Ye Feng. Otherwise, he would score another super high score today.

Corbin decided to compress the defense, use zone defense to deal with Ye Feng, let Bell defend him alone from the outside, follow up with the defense and shoot, and prevent him from taking easy shots. If he breaks through, the side players should pay attention to assisting defense.The Jazz can only choose to double-team the nearest player and leave one player empty. As for whether that person will make the ball, it depends on fate.

Thibodeau also expected this, replacing Josh Smith, Paul Gasol, replacing Dorell Wright and Yi Jianlian, adding two outside shooting points.The arrangement said: "The Jazz should double-team Ye, make a round formation, Ye Feng catches the ball, and the other four pull out the outside line. As long as they dare to double-team, Ye will split the ball, and the others are ready to shoot. If they Without double-teaming, Ye will attack as much as he wants."

In the first quarter, Yi Jianlian was replaced, only because his three-pointers are better than the Gasol brothers. He and Love are more likely to evacuate the inside. Sir.

The Jazz have also replaced Okur and replaced them with Millsap, preparing to strengthen defense and mobility. Seeing the lineup sent by the opponent, both sides have a plan in mind.

Ye Feng said to Yi Jianlian: "Keep an eye on Millsap, you have a height advantage, and you can shoot when you have an opportunity on the offensive end."

Yi Jianlian nodded and said, "Understood."

Others do not need to be instructed. Wright, Curry, and Love are all capable of participating in the three-point contest.Yi Jianlian is the person most likely to be shorted.

The Clippers don’t need Yi Jianlian to be very comprehensive. In the team, he mainly practiced mid-range shooting and three-pointers. He usually spends less time on the court. He spends a lot of time in training. Only when he has a skill can he gain a foothold in the NBA. Otherwise, he would not be as good as before. Wang Zhizhi.

The game continued, and the Jazz began to use Yi Jianlian as a breakthrough point. Millsap went to the outside to cover, Harris broke through, and Yi Jianlian switched defenses. Millsap was only 203cm tall, and Curry could interfere with his shooting.

Yi Jianlian had also been teammates with Harris, and Harris singled him out with full confidence. He got rid of Curry and chose to break through.

At the moment of the shot, Harris heard Millsap's cry, but he was fast and the shot was so fast that it was impossible to stop it.A person flew up from the side and blocked the ball fiercely. Ye Feng let go of Bell to defend!

Ye Feng understood that the possibility of the Jazz passing the ball to Bell was very low, and the possibility of attacking Yi Jianlian was very high, so he did not hesitate to defend.

The ball was directly blocked to Wright.Wright holds the ball in his arms, making it impossible to steal.Ye Feng has sent out four blocks in the first quarter, and his defensive performance is eye-catching.He had never played so hard in the regular season, and he was too excited for the first game of the playoffs.

The Clippers have already arranged tactics, try to play positional warfare, and Smith will rest, the power of the Clippers' fast attack will also be weakened a lot.The players all opened up, the Jazz didn't press hard, and Ye Feng easily received the basketball from the outside.

If they pressed, Love would cover for Ye Feng, and it would be even more difficult for Ye Feng to dislocate and avoid Bell.After receiving the ball from the outside, the players all opened up to create space for Ye Feng to play singles.If you have strong personal ability, you will get a lot of singles opportunities. The coach is not a fool, and he will not use big killers.Ye Feng met Bell, dribbled forward with the ball, and when he was about to get close, changed his back to protect the ball and hit Bell hard.

He's a superstar now, and he won't get called a foul if he moves a little too far behind the dribble.As soon as Bell retreated, Ye Feng immediately turned around and went left to break through. Millsap let go of Yi Jianlian and formed a double-team.

Ye Feng concentrated his attention and immediately passed the ball to Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian was well prepared and did not hesitate to make a move.He was still thinking silently: "This is just a training match, don't be nervous!"

Yi Jianlian also often uses self-hypnosis, which was taught by Ye Feng.It was too late for Millsap to turn around and block the shot. Even if he wanted to block Yi Jianlian head-on, it would not be easy. His height advantage is obvious.Yi Jianlian made the first shot and did not disappoint Ye Feng.

26 to 7!The Clippers led by 19 points in the first quarter.

The Jazz attacked again. Ye Feng did not chase after Harris after making up the defense once. After suffering a loss, Harris must be prepared, and it is easy to be open again. The defensive task is given to Yi Jianlian. Harris breaks through and scores the ball , Millsap hung the outside line to Jefferson in the low post.

Jefferson singled out Love and made a wonderful inside move. Two consecutive fake moves made the space open, and he shot a basketball with one hand! 26 to 9.

After Gasol and Smith went off the field, the Jazz's offense became easier.

The Clippers also used star singles tactics, and Ye Feng received the ball from the outside.This time Love did a pick-and-roll, and the man who switched defense became Millsap.He has strength and speed better than Jefferson, and he is more suitable for defending against Ye Feng. In the past two seasons, his strength has also improved significantly.

Ye Feng dribbled the ball from his crotch to his right hand, started at full speed and walked to the right, leaned forward, half of his body had already passed, and suddenly slapped the ball to Millsap's left rear, bent his wrist quickly when slapping the ball, let the ball spin a bit, and at the same time Slide your body to the left.

Millsap hurriedly followed Ye Feng to the left, but found that Ye Feng didn't have the ball in his hand.

"The ball was passed? Wrong!" Millsap noticed that Ye Feng stopped and moved back to the original position, and it was already too late to realize that something was wrong.

Ye Feng's lateral movement was much faster than him, and he used the street ball "can't pass the ball" movement, returned to the position just now to take the ball, when Millsap twisted his body, Ye Feng had already pulled out his hand!He teased Durant this way, and Millsap was slower, completely swung, and didn't even make a jump.

Hit the ball! 28 to 9.One-on-one, the Jazz players have nothing to do with Ye Feng.

In the next game, the Jazz began to resolutely double-team.In order to ensure efficiency, Ye Feng tried his best to rush in the direction of Le Fu, attract double-teams and pass to Le Fu.Love made two three-pointers in the first quarter.Once Ye Feng made a breakthrough, the Jazz had no choice but to resort to foul tactics. Bell quickly fouled him twice and replaced him with Alek Bax.Bacchus was too thin, so he could only use fouls to stop Ye Feng from attacking.Fouls must be resolute, once Ye Feng pulls out, it will be too late, and it is not easy to block the shot if he wants to destroy it.

Afterwards, Ye Feng failed to score in sports games and made 6 of 5 free throws. Even so, his performance in the first quarter was still amazing, scoring 27 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks.All three assists helped teammates hit three-pointers.

The Clippers ended the first quarter with a 44-point lead 21 to 23.Ye Feng used one quarter to get stats that many people couldn't get in the whole game, and this is the playoffs, the Jazz's defense is not strict, and many fouls still can't stop him from scoring.

Fans who watched the game through the Internet left messages on the official forum, saying that Ye Feng gave Kobe the scoring champion this season. If he worked a little harder in the regular season, even if he averaged only 34.6 minutes per game, he should be able to score around 30 points. , his attack has been unstoppable.

What is more terrifying than high scores is his shooting percentage, which is always above 5%. Some fans think that as long as he can find the touch, he will average 40 shots per game.

These are the wishes of fans who like to watch high-scoring stars. It is impossible to average 40 shots per game. If you shoot too many teammates and don’t catch the ball for a long time, you will lose your touch. Once Ye Feng’s shooting rate has problems again, the Clippers It may fall into a scoring shortage at a certain period of time.The Clippers' offensive mode is already the best way. Ye Feng can score some points every game, and then help his teammates to open up by breaking through and scoring more points. The team will remain invincible.

What Ye Feng is concerned about now is how long he will play today, do he still need to play in the second half?At the end of the game, Ye Feng asked Thibodeau this question.The decline in his statistics this season has a lot to do with the strength of the team. The battle is often resolved in three quarters, and there is no reason to stay on the court to score.In order to protect him, as long as he leads by a big score, Thibodeau rarely sends him to play in the fourth quarter.If the opponent has already given up the game and the core is still scoring points on the court, winning too much wild is very damaging to the character. If the opponent is irritated and injured by a malicious foul by a substitute player, it will be bad, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Thibodeau smiled and said: "It depends on the situation. If you feel good, you can play for a while if you want to break the scoring record, but try to use shots to complete the offense and pay attention to protecting yourself from injury. Our goal is the championship. Winning the Jazz is no big deal .”

Ye Feng nodded his head in agreement.

In the second quarter, the Clippers sent a full bench lineup.Marc Gasol and Yi Jianlian partnered with Hill, Thornton and Tony Allen on the outside, both defensive and offensive.

In contrast, the Jazz's bench lineup is a bit shabby.Okur, Millsap, DeMarr Carroll, Bacchus, Jamal Tinsley.

Millsap is the Jazz's strongest offensive point. If he doesn't play, Evans, the new dunk king, will have to play. That dude can't do anything but dunk.

After Thornton returned from injury, his playing time was shortened again. The coaching staff said it was to protect him, but this made Thornton very unhappy.He started scoring points as soon as he came on the court, and he didn't want to miss any chance to prove himself.

The Jazz's defense played a certain role in this quarter, but their offense was even worse and collapsed quickly.After playing 4 minutes in the second quarter, the Jazz made a shot. They had already been hit by an 8-0 shock wave and fell behind by more than 30 points.

Six minutes later, Ye Feng, Smith, and Gasol reappeared, and they still played with ease.Ye Feng made a layup in the fast break, then Smith made a steal, the Clippers made another fast break, Ye Feng assisted Thornton, the latter dunked the ball and continued to expand the advantage.The Jazz's offense improved slightly in the last few minutes of this section, but the point difference between the two sides has widened to the point where it is impossible to catch up.

Ye Feng continued to play in the second half, but his touch had begun to decline. Love took the lead in making a three-pointer to open up the situation.Since then, the Clippers have found a sense outside the three-point line. Dorell Wright made three three-pointers, and Curry also succeeded in a long shot. Expanded to 4 points.

The Jazz finally stopped Ye Feng, or Ye Feng himself no longer had the desire to attack, leading too much, scoring high scores and high moisture content.With 4 minutes left in the third quarter, Thibodeau replaced Ye Feng. At this time, he had scored 43 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 5 blocks.

The suspense of the outcome has long been lost. In the last quarter, the Jazz no longer sent the main players to play, and the Clippers also left the starting lineup. They sent a full bench lineup, and Thomas finally got a chance to play.

This is Thomas' first playoff game. In order for him to build confidence as soon as possible, Thibodeau arranged for him to be the main attacker and gave him unlimited shots.Thornton also sat on the bench for this reason, and the other four were Barnes, Wright, Hill, and Marc Gasol.

This is a big lineup with four small ones. The inside players pull to the outside pick-and-roll, creating space for Thomas to play singles.Tinsley is old, and he is completely at a disadvantage against Thomas. Thomas can always easily catch the ball, get rid of it, or make a sudden or throw, and play with ease.

The offense of the Jazz's substitute players was even worse. Without Millsap, no one was good at scoring. After nearly 3 minutes in this quarter, they still failed to make a goal. As big as 50 points.It's not just outside players who open up, Gasol Jr. can also hit the ball in the low post.The Clippers played another magical game.

Ye Feng, Smith and the others had already sat on the sidelines and started chatting. When a wonderful scene appeared, they applauded and cheered for their teammates.

In the first playoff game, the Clippers finally won with a disparity of 148 to 92!
