The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 537 [Competition for Tianwang Mountain]

Some basketball experts analyzed that the Heat and Clippers are likely to grab 7.It's a pity that the Clippers lost general Love, otherwise the Heat must not be their opponents.

Not so.Even if Love plays, the main effect is that there is an extra three-point shooter on the offensive end, and the defense will not play much effect. After all, Love's specialty is not defense against breakthroughs, and his lateral movement is relatively slow.Gasol's playing time has increased, and Ye Feng's guest appearance at the 4th position has almost made up for the loss of his absence.

The fifth game is very important. When they played against the Mavericks, the Clippers had already tasted the taste of being behind 2 to 3. It is not what they want to go home under psychological pressure.If we win this game and return to the home court to win the championship, it will be perfect.

What Thibodeau is most dissatisfied with is the inside substitute, Ye Feng can only play the 4th position to make up for the shortcomings.After the end of this season, they will definitely have to change their insides, at least to introduce a good player.Coupled with Love's comeback and the presence of four powerful insiders, the lineup is impeccable.

On the Internet, fans launched a vote to predict the outcome of the game. The Clippers' support rate has reached 88.6%, which is what everyone expects.The atmosphere in the Heat's home court in Game 40 is also getting worse.Why say bad?Because Ye Feng got even more enthusiastic applause when he appeared on the stage.Someone in the stands held a sign saying "Hungry Wolf 40+". Many people hoped that he would score again.Ye Feng didn't score 40 points in the two games the Clippers lost. Wanting to see Ye Feng score [-]+ is tantamount to wanting to see the Heat lose.

If the home fans do not cheer for the home team together, it will inevitably disappoint the Heat players.The appearance ceremony of the Heat's Big Three was much simpler, and they no longer put on a show. They were also afraid of being "slapped in the face" after losing.The last time they entered the finals against the Clippers, the Heat also won two games and ended up 4-2.At this time, the psychological pressure of the players is already very high.

The Clippers coaching staff told the rookies time and time again that they must play hard and be firm in fouling.Ma Hong also taught the substitute players to pay attention to provoking the opponent's starting lineup after playing. As long as the opponent is annoyed, failing to make a shot or quarreling and getting fouled, it is the victory of the substitute player.They don't think they will win, and they are very careful about this game.

The Clippers' starting lineup has not changed, Gasol, Ye Feng, Barnes, Harrison, Thomas.The Heat's starting lineup changed again, and Parsons entered the starting lineup, replacing Haslem.

In the first quarter, the Clippers had a problem with their offense. Ye Feng finally encountered a situation where he didn't feel good. He only hit one goal in five shots.After all, he is not a god. In the second half, he changed to supporting the offense and covering Thomas on the outside.Gasol and Thomas became the main offensive points.The two performed well. Before the end of this quarter, Harrison, who came off the bench, made a super long three-pointer at the buzzer. hit.With the help of this lucky ball, the Clippers were only 5 points behind 24 to 30.

James and Bosh, who played the first quarter, did not end in the second quarter, leading the bench to play.The Clippers let Ye Feng off the court to rest for a while to adjust his state.Gasol and Thornton played well in this quarter, and the point difference has not been further widened.Afterwards, Ye Feng returned to the court and sent three assists in one minute. Thornton and Jones hit three-pointers respectively, and the Clippers took a 1-52 lead by two points.

Since then, Wade has made consecutive shots. With 13.8 seconds left in this section, Wade succeeded in a close-range mid-range shot, and the Heat once again overtook.At halftime, the Clippers were 57 points behind 60 to 3.

Wade scored 17 points in the half, his best performance of the series.In order to defend him, Barnes paid the price of 3 fouls and reduced playing time.Harrison's experience is still inexperienced, and he was given a good lesson in the matchup with Wade.

Ye Feng felt cold, made 9 of 2 shots, and only scored 8 points with free throws.However, he has sent 6 assists and grabbed 6 rebounds, and is likely to get a triple-double.

Thibodeau asked Ye Feng to hit the basket as much as possible and increase the number of breakthroughs. It is not allowed to use too many shots to find the touch when playing against the Heat. If you miss a few shots, the score may be thrown away. The breakthrough shooting rate is much higher, which is okay. Foul.

At the beginning of the second half, the Heat's offensive was fierce. James and Ray Allen hit three-pointers one after another, expanding their advantage.Ye Feng began to rely on screens to break through the offense, hit a layup and caused Bosh to foul 2+1.After that, he used the cover to break through the lever and hit the basketball, struggling to score.The Clippers stand out in this quarter is Thornton, who made 4 of 3 three-pointers, helping the Clippers to overtake the score again.

Ye Feng also finally found his touch. He also made two three-pointers from the outside line and made a successful steal at 3 minutes and 33 seconds. He assisted Thornton for a layup and played an 8-0 offensive climax.The Heat could not stop the Clippers' offensive, and Spoelstra was forced to request a timeout.
After James and Bosh each hit a ball, the Heat stabilized the situation.After three quarters, the Clippers led 84-79.The Clippers hit 7 three-pointers in this quarter, and the outside line was completely open.

The Heat can only be said to be unlucky. Ye Feng felt hot in the first few games. After finally waiting for this game to change from a god to a normal person, the other Clippers players stood up again.No team can beat the Clippers when the Clippers are shooting three-pointers well, because they also have a strong offensive power in the low post.

In the fourth quarter, whether James' physical strength can support the audience is a question.He suffered leg cramps in the last game, but Spoelstra didn't mean to let him rest, and only rested for 4 minutes in the second quarter.

The final quarter turned into Ye Feng's performance again. He relied on the Gasol brothers' alternate screens to attack and singled out Bosh and Parsons. The 45-degree swipe shot, the "Golden Rooster Independence" jump shot in the middle of the turn, and the fadeaway jump shot that turned to the baseline all began to show off.The terrifying scorer suddenly came back, and the Clippers extended their advantage to 11 points.

The Heat's counterattack came very quickly. Wade broke through with the ball and caused Barnes' fifth foul, sending him off to guard the drinking fountain.After that, Wade steals Thornton's pass and launches a fast break, which is handed over to James in the frontcourt for an easy dunk.Wade also assisted Haslem, who succeeded in dunks, and the point difference narrowed to five points.

The score rose alternately, and the turning point appeared at 5 minutes and 03 seconds. Gasol failed to score in a low-post single, and Gasol Jr. grabbed an offensive rebound and made a second attack that caused Bosh's foul.Bosh was also fouled for the fifth time.Reluctantly, Spoelstra replaced him. At the critical moment, the Heat's ability to prevent pick-and-rolls became weaker.

Thibodeau immediately replaced Isiah Thomas.Facts have proved that this substitution was very clever. Ye Feng was already a little tired, and he no longer took on the task of attacking with the ball, and went to the outside to cooperate with Thomas in the pick-and-roll.Thomas has limited playing time and is in full condition. Once he rushes up, James, who has played almost all the courts, can't guard against him, let alone Dalembert?He messed up the Heat's defense with a drive.

The Clippers scored nine points in less than two minutes to lead 2-9.

The Heat's situation was very bad, and they began to look for opportunities on the outside, but the three-pointer missed the target.In order to strengthen the defense, Bosh appeared again in 3 minutes.But it can't change the team's backwardness.

Barnes, who didn't play much offensively throughout the game, also made a sudden move. With 2 minutes and 26 seconds left in the game, he hit a three-pointer to expand the lead.The Heat panicked at the last moment. Wade was intercepted by Ye Feng, and then Ye Feng used the screen to break through, causing a foul by Bosh, and Bosh left the game with six fouls.After making two free throws, it gave the Heat a fatal blow.

James then hit a three-pointer, but it was too late to fall behind by double digits. The Clippers won another game 115 to 101 away and won the "Battle of Tianwangshan".

Back in Los Angeles, as long as the Clippers win one more game, they can win four consecutive championships and chase the Celtics' eight consecutive championships.

叶锋拿下了30分13篮板11助攻2抢断的三双成绩。托马斯得到了12分5次助攻，保罗.加索尔15分6篮板；马克.加索尔12分10篮板3盖帽；索顿21分4助攻，哈里森也拿下了11分。六人得分上双，快船多点开花，热火输的不冤枉。

热火也有五人得分上双，韦德得到了全场最高的38分8次助攻，波什19分10个篮板。詹姆斯打出准三双，贡献了26分10篮板8助攻。雷阿伦13分入账，帕森斯得到12分。

At the press conference, Ye Feng issued a declaration of winning the championship. "I played poorly at the beginning of this game. Fortunately, my teammates stepped up. I was only responsible for rebounding and passing the ball to them. This is a great victory. As long as they can play at this level in the next game, We're going to win. I'm confident going back home and winning the title."

Leading 3 to 2, two home games, if you are modest at this time, it is hypocrisy.

Thibodeau was also happy from ear to ear, and said: "The players executed the tactical arrangement very well. This is the most united game we have played in the playoffs. I am very satisfied with everyone, they are the best .”

The reporter also interviewed Thornton.He seldom participated in press conferences. This time, getting 20+ gave Ye Feng a lot of support. Thibodeau brought him to the conference.

Thornton was very excited. He said: "It feels amazing to be able to score more than 20 points in the finals. I didn't think about anything on the field, but used my strengths to attack. After reading the data, I was very surprised. I hope the next game I can play well too. We have a great leader and will win!"

Heat players were interviewed, and the atmosphere was like attending a funeral.Spoelstra expressed confidence in winning the Clippers at home, Staples is not invincible.But it is possible to win once, can you win twice?If the Heat win the championship, they have to win three games at home with the Clippers.is it possible?In the 82 games of the regular season, the Clippers have not lost a few times at home. Staples has long been recognized as the home of the devil.

The next day, in addition to the news about the Clippers, there was also news of discordant voices within the Heat.Every time the Heat are on the verge of losing in the playoffs, there will be news of infighting.As the saying goes, repeat again and again, the rumors in the first two seasons did not come true, and the Heat's Big Three continued to join forces. This time, no one knows what the result will be.
