The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 471 [The offensive climax of the second half]

The desire to score is a double-edged sword. If it is well controlled, it can make players stronger and dominate the game.If the control is not good, it may affect the offensive rhythm of the whole team.The desire to score is also related to the system. There are always people who deliberately reduce the number of offenses for the system.Last season, Ye Feng suppressed his desire to score and instead assisted his teammates more. Whoever was in good shape was allowed to shoot. The Clippers achieved amazing results because of this.

Now Thibodeau gave Ye Feng unlimited shot rights, and told him that the first task is to score, try every means to send the ball into the basket, and the second is to pass the ball.So Ye Feng broke out.

In 6 minutes of the second quarter, he scored 13 points and fouled Gortat and Griffin each.The gap between the Grizzlies' substitute insiders and the starters is obvious. If there are too many fouls, it will be very detrimental to the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies want to prevent Ye Feng from scoring, but they cannot use foul tactics.Even if it is "shark chopping", if there are too many fouls and no one is defending, it will be a loss.What's more, Ye Feng is very accurate in free throws, and his shooting percentage has risen steadily in several seasons.

半场叶锋拿下了25分5篮板5助攻的全面数据，第一场就要直奔50+，快船也65比55领先了10分。

During the intermission, Barkley said: "If the Clippers continue to let Ye Feng play like this in the second half, the Grizzlies will definitely lose. I think he should take [-] shots per game to liberate his scoring ability. Last season he shot Too little."

Kenny Smith said: "The Clippers sent pitchers in the second quarter, and the Grizzlies didn't dare to double-team Ye Feng too tightly. I believe the Clippers will continue to send pitchers in the second half. Harrison Barnes played very well. Well, he's definitely a rookie fit for the Clippers."

Barkley said: "Being able to shoot is the standard for the Clippers to select players. The only rookie joining this season is Thackeray who can't shoot three-pointers."

Smith laughed: "If Thackeray can shoot three-pointers, it is impossible to fall to the bottom of the second round to be selected."

The Clippers are such a team. Players who are good at shooting are more likely to mix well, as long as they wait by Ye Feng's side to catch the ball and make a shot.Ye Feng is recognized as a player who can make his teammates stronger. This is also one of the factors that allowed him to beat James in the last MVP selection.

In the locker room, Thibodeau said: "In the second half, Ye continued to attack and try his best to grab points. We need a beautiful victory."

Then Thibodeau arranged for a pitcher to play to attract the defense, so that Ye Feng attracted double-teams and could pass the ball, which dealt a heavy blow to the Grizzlies. A big victory can make the rookies feel relaxed.

Grizzlies side, coach Hollins is very distressed.In the past two years, all teams have faced such a problem. Without double-teaming Ye Feng, he can score high points; with double-teaming, the Clippers may win easily.

Even if a few people are gone, the overall strength of the Clippers is still above the Grizzlies.And after Ye Feng went to the low post to take charge of the pick-and-roll defense, his defensive strength also increased.Maybe he is still suitable for playing the 4th position, blocking shots, rebounding, and doing everything with others.

The Grizzlies can only arrange Gay and Griffin to defend Ye Feng. Tony Allen is an expert in perimeter defense, but Ye Feng will use post-ups and shots to deal with him. The two have known each other for four years in the Clippers. Allen can only Go guard against others.After some consideration, Hollins decided to use double-teaming to help defend.There are several players in the league who can dominate the game by scoring, Ye Feng is the most powerful.This point, no one in the league doubts.

The second half started, and the Clippers dispatched Pau Gasol, Love, Harrison Barnes, Ye Feng and Thornton.All five have decent shooting ability.The Grizzlies are Gortat, Griffin, Gay, Billups, Westbrook.

The Grizzlies go first.Ye Feng was still in charge of defending the pick-and-roll, Gasol was pulled to the high post defense, and Love was in the low post as a defensive meat shield and rebounding.In addition to defending the Grizzlies inside players who are in charge of screens in the high post, Gasol can also use his height and wingspan advantages to interfere with the opponent's line of sight, making it difficult to pass the ball in the high post.

Gay misplaced the ball in the singles and Love missed a jumper. Ye Feng protected the backboard.As soon as Smith left, the fast break of the Clippers decreased, and Ye Feng handed over to Thornton to play positional warfare.

Thornton controlled the ball to the frontcourt, Ye Feng got rid of Gay through the screen and ran to the low post, Griffin switched defenses, Gay bypassed Love and prepared to chase, before Ye Feng received the ball, the Grizzlies formed a double-team.

This kind of treatment was often encountered by Jordan at his peak. The opponent would rather the other three rely on rotations to defend against four people, and they would prevent Jordan from receiving the ball.Such shots are not uncommon in collections, and it is pure nonsense to say that there were no double-teams in the 90s.

Still, good players find a way to adapt to the rules and score consistently and efficiently.Mediocre players get stuck in defenses no matter what.

Ye Feng ran out of the three-point line and received a pass from Love at 45 degrees on the right.Guy immediately stepped forward to double-team, Ye Feng and Love had a tacit understanding.Love had already run to the left of the center, and Ye Feng knew where Love would go without even looking, he jumped up and passed the ball.Love has opened up a large distance from Guy, and Guy can't catch up.Love made a three-pointer and made a hollow hit! 68 to 55.

The Grizzlies attacked again, and failed to pass the ball a few times. Ye Feng went inside to defend the pick-and-roll, which is qualitatively different from Gasol and Love defending the pick-and-roll. No guard in the league can easily pass Ye Feng. This is how the Clippers won the finals.The Clippers' inside offense always shoots from the outside, which is also a major feature.

It became more difficult for the Grizzlies outside players to break through. Ye Feng forced Westbrook and Gay outside the penalty area, forcing them to make jump shots instead of easy layups.

The Grizzlies replaced Tony Allen with Billups and added an outside shot.However, if the offensive focus is placed on the outside, the characteristics of the two core players cannot be fully utilized, and the offensive efficiency is difficult to guarantee.Billups hit Harrison in a single, missed a jumper with an emergency stop, and Ye Feng got the rebound again.Watching the disciples fall into single battles again and again, the Grizzlies head coach Hollins was in a hurry on the sidelines.

The Clippers attacked, and the four opened up on the outside to create opportunities for Ye Feng.Thornton and Harrison reached the two bottom corners, Love went 60 degrees to the right, Ye Feng relied on Gasol to cover at the top of the arc to get rid of Gay to get the ball, turned around and broke into the three-point line from the right.

Gortat can only switch defenses. His movement speed is the fastest among centers, but Ye Feng is faster. With a change of direction, he throws off half of his body and goes to the baseline. Griffin lets go of Harrison on the baseline. To make up the defense, Ye Feng took the ball and took a big step, passed the ball behind his right hand to the left corner, Harrison made another three-pointer with an open jumper. 71 to 55.

It's a wide behind-the-back pass, highly entertaining and almost certainly top-five.Harrison shot crazy three-pointers today. For rookies, this is a good start.The Clippers opened the score with two three-pointers.The audience cheers together!
The Grizzlies are very strong, but if they want to win against the Clippers, it is not enough to score, they must also defend.Harrison's three-point accuracy is something Josh Smith doesn't have.The Clippers have added a strong shooting point outside, and now they are more like a pure offensive team, and the defense mainly relies on Ye Feng and the zone defense system.

Hollins stood up and yelled at the field, telling the players to give up double-teaming Ye Feng.If this continues, the Clippers will soon turn the game into garbage time.

Westbrook attacked with the ball, Gortat covered, Gasol switched defenses, Ye Feng did not follow out, he was responsible for defending Griffin in the low post, protecting the basket, if Griffin received the ball on the outside, he could prevent the rush Not anti-cast.

Westbrook is already a little anxious when he sees the score behind. He is an excitable player. He will fall into going it alone when his head gets hot. The shooting percentage is not high. There have been critical moments in the past two seasons. The Grizzlies must guard against Westbrook. Brook can win the argument.

Westbrook's fake action changed to an emergency stop jumper. Although he avoided Gasol's block, the shot was a little anxious and came out of the frame.Ye Feng stuck Griffin behind him and took the backcourt rebound.Before he knew it, his data was close to a triple-double.

The Clippers attacked, and the ball was handed over to Ye Feng again. This time, the Grizzlies became Gay's single defense.Everyone else pulled away, Ye Feng dribbled the ball from his crotch to the right, until he reached the low position, with his left foot as the axis, his right foot took a step and a half to the middle and turned around, Guy followed suit, Ye Feng immediately turned to the baseline to hook Shooting, the shot is too high, Guy can't cover it, so he can only try to seal Ye Feng's eyes, but Ye Feng's shooting from this position is almost based on feeling, blocking the eyes has no effect, and the ball goes in. 73 to 55.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Billups lobbed the ball to Griffin, who singled Ye Feng in the low post.What Ye Feng is not afraid of most is that he is a player with mediocre skills and relying on his physical fitness to play. He just needs to use his strength to resist him outside the penalty area and interfere when he is shooting.Griffin squeezed twice, and it was also a hook shot. Under Ye Feng's interference, the ball missed. Harrison entered the inside line in time to protect the backcourt rebound.

Barkley said: "Griffin, like Durant, has never taken advantage of Ye Feng. From this point, it can be seen that Ye Feng is really good at defending all types of players, and his single defense ability is too strong. gone."

Smith said: "Griffin has been guarded by many powerful players. He can play very well, but he must improve his floor flow and his mid-range shot. He can't go to the low post every time. Go fight your opponent."

The Clippers attacked, Ye Feng went to the low post to catch the ball, and Griffin switched defenses.Ye Feng leaned against Griffin with his back and took two steps towards the middle. When everyone thought he was going to play singles, Thornton shook off Westbrook on the outside, and suddenly slipped the baseline and rushed to the basket. Ye Feng singled He passed the ball with his hand.

Griffin's attention was all on Ye Feng, and he couldn't switch defenses in time. Thornton took the ball and took three steps, and lightly backhanded the basketball and scored! 75 to 55.

The Clippers hit a 10-0 shock wave in the third quarter, and Grizzlies coach Hollins was forced to request a timeout.If the timeout is not called, the Grizzlies will lose.But a timeout was called, and they didn't have a good way to limit the Clippers' offense.In the first game, the Clippers almost locked the victory.
