The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 448 [Towards a triple-double! 】

When he stepped on the court, Dwight Howard had a complicated heart. His first transfer target was the Clippers. Ye Feng also intended to join forces with him, but the deal failed due to the team's interference.

Hearing that the Clippers were unwilling to send Love, Howard snorted. He felt that the Clippers had no vision and he was much better than Love.But this season, Love made N three-pointers and won the league's rebounding title. He gradually understood why the Clippers were unwilling to trade Love.Love teamed up with Pau Gasol, and the Clippers' inside line was also very strong, and he felt the pressure.
After arriving at the Nets, before going to bed every night, Howard would lie in bed and fantasize about defeating the Clippers in the finals to win the championship.The advantage of being in the Nets is that if he wins, he will be the protagonist of the team. People will say that he brought the championship to the Nets, which is better than playing a supporting role in the Clippers. He hopes to stand at the same height as Ye Feng.

More than 200 TV stations around the world broadcast the game live. The odds of the Nets winning the championship are not much worse than that of the Clippers. Most people think they have the strength to fight.The popularity of the Nets has also surpassed that of the Heat. Last year, some people felt sorry for the Heat's loss in the finals. This year, they have become a complete joke. The introduction of big-name stars did not pay attention to the depth of the bench and failed.The Nets have gained people's recognition by relying on team basketball.

TN*T radio commentator Barkley is very optimistic about the Clippers and said a lot of good things about the Clippers before the game. ESPN "Magician" Johnson believes that the Nets may also win. There are two reasons. One is that Howard is the best center in the league, and the other is that Wall is also an All-Star guard. Except for shooting, he is better than Curry in almost every aspect. , Tony Allen.Johnson feels that Tony Allen's defensive ability is overestimated. His defensive attitude is undeniably good, but his height defect is obvious. It can be restricted against swingers of average stature, but it will still suffer against tall players.He can only defend by preventing the opponent from receiving the ball. That defensive method is very exhausting and difficult to guarantee continuity. In the Clippers, his average playing time is only 21 minutes per game, and his weaknesses will not be exposed.

When playing, seeing the Clippers lineup, "Little General" Avery Johnson immediately realized that the Clippers wanted to strengthen their offense, so the deployment before the game had to be changed. If they easily double-teamed Ye Feng and missed three points Pitchers, I'm afraid they will have to pay a heavy price.He asked the players a few words, and the Nets' starters also played, Howard, Humphries, Butler, Ariza, Wall.

The Clippers sent Pau Gasol, Love, Wright, Ye Feng, and Curry.

Wright played as a substitute all season, and after entering the playoffs, he didn't get much playing time. Now he is suddenly scheduled to start, a little surprised, but also very excited.He can replace Hill and Barnes as the starting lineup only because he has a three-point shooting stunt, and his height of 206cm also has a height advantage.Thibodeau told him to be resolute when he has the opportunity to make a shot, and to ensure the hit rate.Thibodeau arranged for Wright and Curry to form two bottom corners, and the two insiders moved at two 60-degree and 45-degree angles. This will definitely form a dislocation on the court, break the Nets' zone defense, and prevent them from compressing the defense to the limit. restricted line.

Howard greeted Ye Feng and asked, "Why aren't Smith and Tony Allen up today? Are you going to defend?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Yes, I will take the main attack, you have to be prepared mentally, I won't be polite."

"Me too." Howard said.His heart beat wildly a few times, Ye Feng was the main attacker, as the last defensive barrier in the low post, he was under a lot of pressure.

The commentators also understood the intention of the Clippers' main attack. This game is worth seeing, and the fans also like to watch the stars score. As long as they use a pitcher as a partner, Ye Feng can display amazing power.

At the beginning of the game, Howard easily beat Gasol with a jump ball and passed the ball to Wall. Wall quickly dribbled the ball across half court. Howard ran to the low post.

Before Humphries came up, Wall suddenly started with one step, changed direction and made a breakthrough.His speed is one of the fastest in the league, and Curry was passed by a little slower.

Curry works hard on defense, but working hard and being able to defend are two different things.If Smith was there, he might have made up the defense immediately, but today Wright was the starter, running out with Butler, not realizing that Wall broke through, Wall went inside, Gasol made up the defense, and Wall attracted the defense After scoring the ball, Howard dunked with both hands under the basket! 0 to 2.

The main offensive points of the Nets are Wall and Howard. Butler and Ariza have average offensive power.In the next round, the Clippers need to change their defensive strategy.

The Clippers attacked, and Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. The Clippers players all opened up. Ye Feng used Gasol's off-ball screen to get rid of Butler.

Curry passed the ball to Ye Feng, who got the ball at 45 degrees on the right side, and Butler went around the screen to chase.The Clippers' lineup has changed, and the Nets' tactics have also been adjusted, so they can no longer easily double-team.Howard and Gasol, Butler defending Ye Feng.

Butler is eager to win the championship. He played more fiercely than in all previous games. He chose to fight close to him. Curry passed the ball a little slower.

Butler has a strong body and is not so easy to squeeze away.Without a good chance, Ye Feng took the ball with one hand and gestured towards Curry.It has been three years, and they can use codes to express any tactics. If the lineup is changed, newcomers will need a long time to learn and adapt to these codes. This is the reason why they should not change the lineup easily.

Curry ran towards Ye Feng. Ye Feng took the ball with one hand and passed it to Curry at the right time. At the same time, he moved and stood still, blocking Wall.

Butler quickly switched defenses, and the Nets players knew exactly what level Curry was, so he couldn't relax.It is also easy for him to average 15+ points per game. This year Gasol is here, Love is in a brave state, and Curry still has 13.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists even though he has reduced his playing time and number of shots.

Ye Feng dismantled as soon as the block was removed, and ran to the inside, right behind Curry. This kind of running position looked strange, and there was no space, but Ye Feng didn't need space, as long as he got close to the basket.

After attracting the defense, Curry slid to the baseline, jumped up without shooting, and distributed the ball back to Ye Feng.Wall's physique is impossible to stop Ye Feng from receiving the ball.Butler turned around to defend Ye Feng. When Ye Feng received the ball, he stepped on the penalty area line, turned around and jumped in the middle, and made two fake moves in the air to avoid the block.Butler's ability to stay in the air couldn't compare to Ye Feng's. He started to fall, and Ye Feng was still in the air, throwing the ball with one hand with his right hand! 2 to 2.

This shot seems to be shot very reluctantly, but Ye Feng is actually very confident.After Butler hit the ground, his heart beat for half a beat. He had already worked very hard, but Ye Feng still managed to score the ball, which was too strong.He can only do his best to defend, if Ye Feng always fights like this, he will probably be blown up.

The Nets attacked, Wall brought the ball to the frontcourt, Ye Feng shouted to his teammates: "Dorrell and Ariza, Kevin defends Butler, 32 zone defense."

The teammates understood what he meant, Love went to the perimeter to face Butler, Wright and Ariza, Ye Feng went inside to defend Humphries, and the defensive end became the 4th position.In this way, Humphries goes to the outside to cover, Wall breaks through, and Ye Feng can switch defenses in time, so that the opponent will not easily break through successfully.

Wall immediately played a pick-and-roll, but couldn't swing open, and couldn't get rid of Ye Feng with his speed. He distributed the ball again, and Humphries caught the ball and passed it to Butler.

Butler played against Love in singles. After several serious injuries, his speed was slower than before. Love showed his fast side and was not easily swayed. This year Butler's main offensive method has become a jumper. He He dribbled the ball under the crotch and made two fake moves. He stopped suddenly and shot a jumper. Love interfered in place and the ball missed.Ye Feng let go of Wall, and Gasol was responsible for blocking Howard, helping Ye Feng easily win the backcourt rebound.

The Nets' return to defense was faster than the Thunder's. Ye Feng protected the basketball and handed it to Curry who ran back to meet him.

Under Wall's defense, Curry slowly dribbled the ball across the half court. This time Ye Feng caught the ball at the top of the arc, and the players stretched to the four corners, forming a circle with Ye Feng. This circular offense creates isolation opportunities more easily than the triangle offense.

Butler's pressure is on again.Ye Feng dribbled the ball with his right hand and moved slowly. When he was close to Butler, he suddenly dribbled the ball from his crotch to his left hand and broke through from the left. The speed of the first step was astonishing.

Butler hurriedly retreated in small steps, Ye Feng retreated slightly again, his left shoulder swayed slightly, and seemed to want to change direction to go to the right, Butler hurriedly took a small step forward, Ye Feng didn't make any fake moves, and controlled with his left hand. The ball broke through with a big step from the left.Extremely variable speed!As long as the technology is used reasonably, it can also be effective if it is not fancy.

After he took a big step, he took the ball with both hands and accelerated towards the basket. The new NBA rules allow one more step from standing still to holding the ball, which makes players like Ye Feng more powerful. He can rush to the basket immediately.Howard returned to the basket to defend, and both Clippers players were in the corner, and there was a very large gap immediately.Ye Feng quickly passed the ball to Dorell Wright with both hands, Ariza let go of Gasol to defend, the distance was too far, Wright was fully prepared, and shot immediately after receiving the ball.Ariza didn't cover it, and this three-pointer from the left corner went into the net! 5 to 2.

After returning to the defense, Ye Feng caught up with Humphries again. At this time, he was at the 4th position, and Love focused on Butler. This is not a difficult task. Let him defend the pick-and-roll against Wall. too difficult.

The Nets also noticed this problem. Howarda went to the perimeter to cover and blocked Wall. Wall dribbled the ball from the left to break through and met Gasol.Gasol can't defend against breakthroughs. As long as Wall doesn't make a layup, the Clippers can accept as many shots as he wants. He empties Wall by one and a half steps. Wall chooses an emergency stop jumper, and Gasol immediately steps forward to interfere. , the ball went wide.

Ye Feng advanced to the basket, blocked Humphries, and grabbed the backcourt rebound.Although Humphries has a height advantage, he can't play it out.Ye Feng didn't let go of his rebounding skills. In the first season, he was often double-double on rebounds. He has a strong physique and an excellent position. If he is mainly at the 4th position, he can also become a rebounding machine.With today's defensive strategy, Ye Feng's rebounds can easily hit double figures, and with Love following him, he has more opportunities to grab backcourt rebounds.

The Clippers attacked from the ground. Ye Feng waited for Love to pull out, found an off-ball screen, and caught the ball again at the top of the arc. Switched.

Love opened up the gap, Ye Feng rushed into the three-point line from a 60-degree angle on the right, Humphries followed up from the side, Butler did not dare to let go of Love to defend, if the Clippers made another three-pointer, the points The difference was about to widen. Humphries and Ye Feng singled out. Ye Feng relied on him to get to the low position to open the distance. Bend up, lean back...

Seeing him posing in the "Golden Rooster Independent" pose, Humphries rushed forward and jumped up to block the shot. He jumped in the air but found that Ye Feng was the real "Golden Rooster Independent". But he didn't take off and stood on the spot. This was a feint that couldn't be more realistic.

Ye Feng landed on his right foot, jumped forward, and bumped into Humphries.Humphries fouled hard and did not allow Ye Feng to throw the ball smoothly, but the foul did not run away.

Ye Feng got a free throw opportunity and made two free throws. 7 to 2.

Barkley exclaimed in admiration: "It's so beautiful! Ye Feng's foul-making skills are getting better and better. I don't think many people would be upset by the fake move just now. If the opponent doesn't come up to block the shot, he can take advantage of the opportunity to shoot and get another easy shot." I think he must have specially practiced this trick, this feint is not something everyone can do, it requires a good sense of balance, if the left foot moves, it is walking."

Kenny Smith said: "Ye Feng said that he has practiced yoga for nearly five years, and this kind of movement is very easy for him."

Combining yoga and basketball, Ye Feng would also like to thank Gabriela Wilde, the master.

The Nets attacked, Wall passed to Ariza, who lobbed the ball to Howard in the low post on the right, Warcraft received the ball and singled Gasol with his back, swayed on the penalty area line, turned to the baseline, and scored with one-handed cricket. 7 to 4.

The Clippers attacked, and Ye Feng swayed and pulled out his hand from a high position and missed it. He couldn't guarantee to score every time.

Then both sides started to strike iron, Wall broke through and forced a layup and missed.Love misplaced the mid-range shot and missed. The Nets switched positions very quickly, and there was no obvious gap at the top of the arc. Butler's frantic entanglement with Ye Feng also played a certain role, preventing him from easily breaking through to the low post.

The Nets attacked, and after passing the wrong pass, it took almost 24 seconds to find a good opportunity. Butler caught the ball and singled Love on the right, and made an emergency stop within the three-point line. field rebounds.

Not long after the game started, Ye Feng had already grabbed 4 rebounds, and today his stats are heading towards a triple-double.
