The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 523 [Heartily, 38 points in the half! 】

Ye Feng is also a jerk player, he can shoot as much as he likes in a certain period of time, making his opponent feel helpless.This season, he has set a career high in the number of shots taken and the number of free throws made, but there are not many blocked records.He always has a way to evade the opponent's defense and shoot in an irregular way.On the perimeter, his jumper is harder to block.

The Mavericks attacked, Deron Williams and Jordan played a pick-and-roll, broke through with the ball, misplaced against Perry Jones, changed speed and made a layup. 10 to 4.

Jones is too easy to pass, and the pick-and-roll is not good. Fortunately, he has no problem with DeAndre Jordan. If he can't defend, he will foul. Sending Jordan to the free throw line is a good strategy.Thibodeau also arranged foul tactics before the game. The rookies played too little time in the first few games and did not play much role. Jordan did not get a few free throw opportunities.Now directly let the substitute deal with Jordan, as long as he catches the ball and wants to shoot, he will immediately foul.

The Clippers organized the offense, and Hinrich passed to Ye Feng in the frontcourt, and then ran to the bottom line to attract the defense.If there is another position where Hinrich can shoot more confidently, it is the bottom corner. In 2006, he represented the American Dream Team in the World Championships, and his three-pointer from the bottom corner left a deep impression on people.In the international arena that year, he played inferior to Deron and Paul.

Looking at Hinrich's bottom corner, Deron can only keep up, and it is impossible to completely empty.

At this time, Ye Feng took on the task of organizing at the top of the arc, dribbling the ball and retreating, protecting the ball two steps outside the three-point line to control the situation.The Mavericks were easily scored by Gasol just now due to a failed double-team. Nowitzki did not dare to save the three-point line easily, and Marion defended alone.

Ye Feng opened the distance and was not in a hurry to attack. When there were still five seconds left, he suddenly started to break through from the right. Marion moved laterally. Ye Feng stopped abruptly and dribbled the ball to his left hand. Lean back.

The shot was a little hasty, and the posture had the feeling of "riding and archery", which seemed very unreasonable, but it avoided Marion's block, and Nowitzki wanted to rush up to make up for it, but it was too late.This three-pointer hit again! 13 to 4.

As soon as Ye Feng came up, he made 3 of 3 three-pointers.Both the home team players and the fans felt chills in their hearts, which brought back bad memories.

After winning three games in a row, the Mavericks feel that promotion is in sight. Now they are soberly aware that as long as Ye Feng is around, they cannot relax in the slightest against the Clippers, otherwise he will make you look good.In this series, Ye Feng has never had a crazy performance, and now it starts.

The Mavericks attacked, and the fans cheered loudly. Nowitzki pulled to the outside to cover, and Deron broke through and gave Carter the ball.Carter passed Nowitzki again, and the latter handed it to Marion. Marion held the ball and broke through under Jordan's screen, and made a quick layup under Jones' defense. 13 to 6.

The Clippers attacked, two inside players pulled out the outside line, Ye Feng entered the three-point line with an off-ball screen, received a pass from Harrison from the right, and Nowitzki defended.Before Marion stepped forward, Ye Feng took the ball and broke through to the bottom line. He turned very quickly and passed Nowitzki in one step.Jordan rushed back to the basket to defend, Ye Feng leaped high, pulled the bar in the air and passed the ball with his right hand.Jones followed up in the middle, catching the ball and smashing the ball vigorously with one hand! 15 to 6.

Ye Feng not only scored by himself, but also sent out assists, leading the team to a climax.Afterwards, the Clippers' attack decreased slightly, and Ye Feng hit the iron twice in a row, giving the Mavericks a chance to breathe.At 5 minutes and 11 seconds into the game, Ye Feng ran without the ball, cooperated with Gasol, made an air cut and made a layup.On the next possession, he hit a fadeaway jumper on the right-wing baseline.

Just after halfway through the first quarter, Ye Feng had already scored 15 points, Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle requested a timeout.Carlisle asked the players to increase their defensive efforts against Ye Feng, to be inseparable, instead of just defending with the ball.He didn't want to see Ye Feng score 30+ in a single quarter, that would be too depressing.Marion's defense is already very strict, but Gasol and Jones cover together and can always create space for Ye Feng to catch the ball. Nowitzki's speed is slow, and his off-ball defense is not very good.The Mavericks still have weaknesses, though not obvious ones.

Carlisle also didn't want to put Jordan in charge of defending pick-and-rolls.If you want Jordan to play the most powerful, you have to let him be at the basket, out of the restricted area, it seems relatively mediocre, and Gasol also has the opportunity to play hard in the low post.

The Clippers did not change their tactics, and continued to focus on Ye Feng, allowing him to control the situation.Substitution on the field, Jones off, replaced by Robert Thackeray.Thackeray is 211cm tall, good low-post defense, and also has a mid-range shot. Learning high-post support from Gasol has also achieved some results.He was replaced to ensure the physical strength of the Gasol brothers.Gasol Jr. also replaced his elder brother and served as a center guarding the basket.

With this arrangement, the two brothers will not be physically exhausted in the fourth quarter.Gasol can also play with a substitute as early as possible in the second quarter.

The task of defending Nowitzki was given to Thackeray.He has height, and his speed is not too slow. He can keep up with Nowitzki's footsteps. After the game started, he actually prevented Nowitzki from missing two consecutive shots.The rebounds were all controlled by the Clippers.

Seeing that the situation has been in the hands of the Clippers, Kenny Smith couldn't help but praise Thackeray a few words. "If you give Thackeray enough playing time to perform, he should be able to score at least 8+6. He has good low-post defense and can attack and hit hooks. The Clippers selected him at the 60th place. Maybe he will be better than Thomas. But the Clippers signed him with a two-year contract, and it will definitely not be so cheap to renew in the future."

Barkley felt that Thackeray only seemed to be better at low-post defense compared to Yi Jianlian. In fact, it was nothing special, but he focused on watching the game and did not refute it.Smith's words are like an advertisement for Thackeray, which will definitely increase his worth.

After receiving Ye Feng, he ran under the cover of two inside players. It usually took no more than two seconds from receiving the ball to making a shot. This style of play weakened the double-teaming effect of the Mavericks. It has already been voted out.Nowitzki defended very hard, but Ye Feng just bullied him because he couldn't jump up, so he forced him to bet on his hand.

后半段叶锋的命中率下降，单节出手了14次，命中8球。三分球5投3中，罚球4中4。得到了23分2篮板3助攻。他又用一节数据就打出了很多人一场的水平。快船37比27领先10分，客场打出了气势。

In the second quarter, Ye Feng rested, and the Clippers sent Gasol Jr., Thackeray, Matt Barnes, Marcus Thornton, and Isiah Thomas.This is also a new attempt.Let Thornton and Thomas form a double gun in the backcourt.

The Mavericks' bench is the usual lineup of Kaman, Brand, Crowder, Jones, and Collison.

The Clippers want to compete with the Mavericks on offense, Jones is good at defense, but Collison is not a player who is good at defense, Thomas can have more breakthrough opportunities.While Jones' offensive ability is average, Thornton's defensive pressure is not great.

In the substitute competition, the Clippers finally gained the upper hand. Both Thomas and Thornton hit three-pointers from the outside, which disrupted the Mavericks' compression defensive tactics.Sacrera went to the perimeter to cover, not only created space for his teammates to break through, but also hit a mid-range shot. After that, Gasol Jr. hit a low single with Kaman and hit a hook. Barnes made a successful steal. Foul, two free throws.In less than 5 minutes, all five of the Clippers' substitutes scored goals.

Seeing that the Clippers widened the point difference, the Mavericks replaced Deron in advance to strengthen the offense, and formed a double guard with Collison, but they did not recover the score.

In the middle of the second quarter, the Clippers made substitutions. Gasol and Jones replaced Gasol Jr. and Thackeray, and Ye Feng replaced Thomas.Barnes and Thornton continued to stay on the field, which is also a set of configurations that can be inside and outside.The Mavericks quickly replaced Marion and Nowitzki.

After the opening, Ye Feng and Thornton played a pick-and-roll cooperation. Thornton broke through with the ball, attracting Marion's defense, and then passed the ball outside to Ye Feng. Sen, took a step to the side and made an emergency stop for a three-point shot.Collison was right in front of him, but he was at a serious disadvantage due to his height, so he couldn't cover him at all.

Ye Feng hit his fourth three-pointer of the game, widening the point difference to 57-42.

One minute later, Ye Feng caught the ball from the right and swayed to the bottom line to trick Nowitzki.Marion blocked the block from the side, and Nowitzki jumped from the front to block the block, but Ye Feng didn't jump. He raised his right leg and took another step forward, bumping into Nowitzki and causing a foul.

Although they didn't score 2+1, Ye Feng made two free throws, which was very lethal.

At 3 minutes and 13 seconds, the Clippers used a double pick-and-roll tactic. Ye Feng broke through with the ball and met Kaman, and then turned to a low-handed basketball.

At 2 minutes and 43 seconds, Ye Feng received the ball from the low post on the left side, faced Nowitzki with a step-back jumper, and hit the board.

At 1 minute and 06 seconds, Ye Feng received the ball at the top of the arc, faced Marion's defense, and made a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.My fifth three-pointer in this field.

At 38 seconds, Ye Feng grabbed the rebound from the backcourt and launched a fast break, dribbled the ball through the half court, and hit a 60-degree rush shot from the right.

The Mavericks quickly made an offense, leaving the Clippers with 31 seconds of attack time. After the Clippers' offense is over, they can still get a chance to attack.

Ye Feng got the ball in the backcourt, and his teammates pulled away.He took the frontcourt to control the situation, and waited until the last 5 seconds to launch an offense. The Mavericks double-teamed, Ye Feng passed the ball, Harrison missed a three-pointer on the right, but the rebound was caught by Gasol get it.

At this time, Gasol showed his seasoned experience. He did not rush to shoot, but passed it out for the second organization.Ye Feng took the ball from the outside, with only 4 seconds left, broke through under the cover of his teammates, and used "Golden Rooster Independent" on the right side. Ye Feng scored 38 points in the first half.

The Clippers led 75 to 57, and the offense was hearty.
