The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 507 [Sweeping the Warriors, the first to advance]

The Golden State Warriors are an underdog, almost forgotten team, but they have had their day.

They were one of the first 11 teams to join the NBA; in the history of the NBA, they won the championship three times. After scoring 100 points, he averaged 50.4 points and 25.7 rebounds per game that season. In the first round of the 2006-2007 playoffs, the Warriors eliminated the regular season champion Mavericks and created the third "Black Eight Miracle" in NBA history.

This time in the playoffs, the Warriors' home fans are very excited. They don't want the home team to advance, as long as they can win the defending champion, it will be very enjoyable. Some people simply come to watch the Clippers game.

When the players came out, Curry and David Lee received the most applause.Curry already has a high popularity in the local area, and Andrew Bogut's transfer here has not been recognized by the players so quickly.Curry plays the ball very elegantly and is more popular.

Ye Feng was also very popular when he played. There were also fans supporting him in the away game, and there were also female fans with special slogans and Crash Bandicoot on the sign.

However, Ye Feng was really out of shape today. During the warm-up, he failed to make mid-range and long-range shots. After discussing with Thibodeau, he changed his strategy and let Ye Feng organize. , to the basket.

The Clippers' starting lineup has also been adjusted.Pau Gasol, Love, Perry Jones, Harrison Barnes, Ye Feng.

Ye Feng switched to point guard this time, if Stephen Curry was playing against him, wouldn't he just bully him casually?The Clippers are aware of Curry's characteristics, the speed is not very fast, and Ye Feng has the advantage in one-on-one.In this way, there will be a dislocation on the court. Even Harrison, who is 2cm tall at the 203nd position, has a very obvious height advantage over Curry.

Harrison and Jones belong to the type of Tracy McGrady and Durant. They are tall, capable of shooting, and dare to shoot as long as there is space.They got a lot of shots in the regular season, they were full of confidence, and they also had excellent performances in the first two games, especially Harrison, whose three-point shooting ability left a deep impression on people.

The Warriors have been looking for a way to deal with the Clippers. As soon as the Clippers changed, they made their pre-game arrangements fall through.The Warriors' starting lineup has not changed, and the Clippers need to defend as they did in previous games.

After the start of the game, the Clippers quickly took the initiative. Ye Feng played very smartly. First, he played a pick-and-roll with Love. Ford DeRozan's physical advantage is even more obvious.

DeRozan is good at defending the outside line, but he is only 201cm tall and weighs 98kg. There is nothing he can do about Love, who can knock away sumo wrestlers.Love is not greedy for shooting three-pointers, he squeezes him out to ask for the ball in the high position, no matter whether he shoots directly in the middle or cuts to the basket, he is more sure than shooting three-pointers from the outside. At the same time, he also helps Ye Feng attract the defense, allowing David Li didn't dare to defend too far outside.

Ye Feng played pick-and-roll with Love 4 times in a row at the beginning of the game, assisting Love to hit the ball, which strengthened his determination to complete Love's work. This time he must do a good job as a point guard.

People say that if Love hadn't played beside Ye Feng, he wouldn't be where he is now.Only Ye Feng knew Le Fu's ability based on the memory of his previous life. Le Fu didn't become stronger because of himself, but because he sacrificed some data. The number of shots was less, and of course the score was less.Love averaged 20+ points per game at the beginning of the regular season. In order for Ye Feng to successfully average 40+ points per game, he deliberately reduced the number of shots. At the end of the season, the number dropped to 15.3 points.

If there is no Love, it is really questionable whether Ye Feng can have the current achievements.It's just that Love was in the Clippers when he first debuted, and his style of play likes to shoot from the outside. People only think of him as a weakened version of Nowitzki, and they won't regard him as a dominant insider.

After only 7 minutes of playing, Love scored 12 points. This is his best performance in the playoffs. He made all 6 shots and the Warriors requested a timeout.

After leaving the field, Thibodeau asked Love to continue his main attack, while Ye Feng had to play pick-and-roll more resolutely to attract inside players to defend.Gasol pulls to the other side, creating space for Love and allowing him to have better opportunities for misplaced attacks.Bogut's weakness is very obvious. If he leaves the basket, his power will be much reduced.Gasol pulled him out, and Ye Feng could also rely on his skills to break through David Lee.

After the Warriors called a timeout, they remained the same, fighting against the Clippers on offense. This team has no tradition of defense at all, and there are no players who are very good at defense.Curry and David Lee are both defending black holes. Although Klay Thompson is not a black hole, he is not much stronger. DeRozan and Bogut alone can hardly defend against Ye Feng, Love, and Pau Gaso you.

Ye Feng has long believed that Love is his best helper, and he felt very relieved to pass the ball to Love, and Love did not let him down and continued to score.

The Clippers' tactical arrangement is that whoever Curry defends will give Ye Feng a pick-and-roll. This is simply torture.Ye Feng doesn't attack aggressively, and passes the ball to a better position. There are not many people in the 1-3 positions who can compete with Love in terms of strength. Not only Love, Jones and Harrison also opened up outside. , Relying on their height advantage, their shots are difficult to be blocked, and Jones's shots are even difficult to be interfered with.

Love and Ye Feng ran to the low post after the pick-and-roll, misplaced and stormed the basket, using their physical advantages to the limit. Whether it is DeRozan or Klay Thompson, they can only be hard-pressed in the low post, but if they don’t switch defenses, Ye Feng was about to squeeze the defenders and break through.

In the first quarter, Ye Feng only scored 4 points, all of which were breakthroughs to the basket for a layup. He also grabbed 4 rebounds and sent 7 assists.Love performed very well, scoring 18 points in a single quarter.At the home court of the Warriors, the Clippers played more easily, leading 37 to 24 by 13 points.

The inside Clippers have a height advantage, Love can resist others, Jones and Ye Feng can also make up defenses, no matter how they switch positions, they will not suffer.Playing outside, Curry couldn't pass Ye Feng, Thompson's poor shot selection and frequent strikes, but DeRozan played well against Jones by relying on mobility, scoring 11 points in a single quarter, and winning a fig leaf for the Warriors.

In the second quarter, Marcus Thornton and Gasol took charge of the offense one inside and one outside. The point guard played Kirk Hinrich to stabilize the situation, Barnes was experienced and solid in defense, and Jones took the 4th position. Continue to evacuate the inside line.

Perry Jones has been reused in the Clippers. Thibodeau especially likes his style of shooting from the outside with his height advantage, and he is going to train him into a big shooter like Ryan Anderson.Anderson is also doing well in the Hornets this year.

Back on the court, Ye Feng still plays pick-and-roll and breaks through. The Warriors dare not use players like Curry and Thompson to defend him, otherwise he will rely on his physical advantage to drive the ball to the inside. But passed the ball again.The Clippers are determined to rely on their physical advantages to play. Because of this, Isiah Thomas, who got a lot of playing time in the first two games, was also abandoned. This is a bit embarrassing for Curry. He looks like Biggest defensive hole.

The shooting position is close to the basket. In addition to the super high shooting percentage, Ye Feng's statistics are also very comprehensive. He has 10 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal in the half, which is close to a triple-double.Although he didn't score 40+ like in the regular season, the team was completely dispatched and the Warriors played harder.Relying on his super scoring ability, Ye Feng can attract defensive points, which is more critical than high scores.

In the third quarter, Ye Feng grabbed three rebounds and completed a triple-double after only playing for 2 minutes. One of the offensive rebounds scored a 2+1. After making an extra free throw, the difference between the two sides also widened to 20 points .

Ye Feng made all 6 shots, and his shooting percentage remained 100%. Before the game, he did this because he didn't feel good about shooting. He didn't try mid-range or long-range shots at all.If he said that he didn't feel good, no one would believe him.

The main offensive task of shooting was given to Love. He was in a surprisingly good state today, no matter how he shot, he also grabbed rebounds one after another. The Clippers' rebounding advantage is the key to winning. He is better than the opponent's offense in every game. Many times.

After three quarters, Love scored 43 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists, just like a superstar.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers' main players all sat on the bench and chatted.Put on Gasol Jr., Thackeray, Barnes, Thornton, and Thomas' full bench lineup to deal with opponents.

With Thornton and Thomas, the Clippers also guaranteed two assaulters and guaranteed scoring. Although the Warriors chased points, they already had problems with defense, and they fell behind too much in the early stage, so they couldn't catch up.

The Warriors fans did not leave early. When the Clippers players played brilliantly, they would applaud. If they couldn't win, they would just watch the fun.The home team is already weaker than the Clippers, so it's normal that they can't win.

Ye Feng didn't score much in this game, he got a triple-double of 18 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists, 7 of 7 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, 100% shooting rate, amazing efficiency.

On the 27th, the two sides began the fourth contest.Ye Feng didn't want to play one more game, he had an early break so he could spend time with his wife and children in Los Angeles, so he played very hard this time.The Warriors wanted to win, and they played well offensively, but the problem of being strong and defending the weak was still there, and they fell behind by a big score in three quarters.

Ye Feng's playing time increased to 38 minutes, scoring 42 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Love also scored 22 points and 21 rebounds. The two led the team to a happy victory. They swept the Warriors 4-0 and took the lead to advance. The Clippers swept their opponents in the first round for the fourth consecutive year.

Ye Feng completely conquered the fans of the Warriors, no matter whether he was scoring or passing, the Warriors couldn't stop him no matter which style of play he used.Love's outstanding performance also reminds people of the "OK combination" of the Lakers back then. The difference is that the Clippers' dominant players are on the outside.

In another series, the Grizzlies and the Nuggets were tied 2-2, and the Clippers could sit back and relax.
