The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 538 [An accident]

Clippers fans hope that Game [-] will be the winner.

After the game, LeBron James haters seized the opportunity to make fun of him.With Wade, Bosh, and Ray Allen by his side, he can't even beat the Clippers with a disorganized lineup. This "emperor" is really a failure.Fortunately, the Heat were eliminated by the Nets last season, and it was even more embarrassing to be swept in the Finals.

Last season, the Clippers had an invincible lineup. Although they are weaker this season, they are still strong.The super core is the reason why the Clippers are strong.As long as Ye Feng doesn't leave, the foundation will not be damaged.

People saw that Josh Smith played beautiful numbers in the Wizards, and felt that the Clippers had lost an indispensable general. In fact, Smith was not tall enough at the 4th position, and his shooting at the [-]rd position was not particularly good. The offensive effect was not obvious. The main thing is defense.Tony Allen is even more so. He shoots badly and can't use him when he is on the offensive.Curry and Thornton overlap, as does giving Thornton more playing time.Now because of the lack of these three people, people made Ye Feng a myth.

Take this year's Nets as an example, more people playing may not necessarily be a good thing.The Nets have to allocate playing time for each position. Everyone can't play their full power. After a long time, their self-confidence will also be affected, and their performance is not as good as last season.Players like Ariza, Hayward, and Hayes are almost useless.

There is also the Los Angeles Lakers. Before the start of each season, the lineup makes people imagine and is regarded as the favorite to win the championship.But it's not like that at all.It's ridiculous that the Lakers didn't make the playoffs, and a group of hardcore Comey said that Kobe's teammates are not good.The team's salary is hundreds of millions, but the teammates are not good enough?So much money might as well be donated to charity.

On June 6, the whole world focused on this game.Two hours before the start of the game, fans gathered in the plaza outside the Staples Center.

This time people unified the costumes again, which can be called a big deal. The fans spontaneously wore the Clippers jerseys to watch the game. As a result, a "spectacle" since the birth of basketball appeared in the auditorium. Almost all the audience wore Ye Feng's 74 number jersey.Of course, this is also related to hype and momentum.After the team went to the away game, the Clippers began to promote the uniform No. 74 at home.The fans saw the publicity and spontaneously changed into clothes.

Ye Feng knew about this a long time ago, and when he entered the stadium, he was almost moved to tears. What an honor is this?He felt like a god!
Before the game started, a small ceremony was also held.Ye Feng would donate to charity organizations every year based on his total points in the regular season. He gave a check to the president of the charity organization on the spot, and the audience cheered.Such a show can also boost morale.

In people's anticipation, the game began.

Clippers starting five Tigers Paul. Gasol, Ye Feng, Barnes, Harrison, Thomas.The Heat sent Bosh, Parsons, James, Wade, and Chalmers.

The Heat launched an onslaught at the beginning.James and Wade both broke through to the inside frequently under the cover of their teammates.Parsons can start with Bosh and pull out the perimeter, and the low post is completely given over to the two superstars.

Both Wade and James have a lot of offensive skills, especially James's fadeaway jumper Ye Feng can't block it, so he can only interfere with it as much as possible.James scored three goals in a row in the opening game, and Wade also made it difficult for Gasol to defend after being misplaced.

When Barkley saw the Heat's double pick-and-roll, he couldn't help sighing: "If the Heat had played this way earlier, maybe the Clippers would not have led 3-2. They always wanted to achieve a balance of offense and defense before, and they didn't have the determination of the Clippers."

After half a quarter, the Heat took the lead.And at 7 minutes and 22 seconds, James broke through with the ball and caused Ye Feng's second foul. Thibodeau had to replace him and requested a timeout.

Today James was very aggressive and overwhelmed the poor Ye Feng.The Clippers replaced Marcus Thornton and Marc Gasol, and replaced Ye Feng and Harrison.The Heat replaced Wade with Ray Allen.

Ye Feng only scored 4 points and was cheated and fouled twice. He felt a little depressed. He only hoped that his teammates could withstand the pressure during this period and not let the score stretch too much.

Thornton took on the task of attacking with the ball.His comprehensive strength is stronger than Thomas, and he is an important rotation player for the Clippers.If the Heat want to completely prevent him, they have to spend a lot of thought.Before the injury, everyone said that it was a wise decision to sign him and give up Curry. His strength is no worse than Curry or Eric Gordon of the Bobcats.

Thornton did not disappoint, and quickly scored 7 points from inside and outside shots, helping the team to bite the score, trailing 25 to 29 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Clippers sent a combination of Gasol Jr., Thackeray, Jones, Thornton, and Hinrich.The Heat went to Dalembert, Bosh, Lewis, Ray Allen, and Moore.

The pick-and-roll cooperation between Thornton and Thackeray worked well, and Thornton scored another 2 points in 6 minutes, overtaking the score.Jones did not suffer in the matchup with Lewis, and hit a three-pointer.The Heat were misfired by the whole team, even Bosh was no exception, and Thackeray's low-post defense played an effect.

34 to 29.The Clippers played a 9-0 offensive climax, from 4 points behind to 5 points ahead.The audience cheered, as if the champion was close at hand.Seeing that his teammates played well, Ye Feng didn't take the risk of playing early, and sat on the sidelines to watch the game.

"Magic" Johnson said: "If Thornton stays like this all season, he should be in the All-Star."

It may be exaggerated, but Thornton's strength is indeed very strong, and Ray Allen can't guard against him.Now the only good defensive players for the Heat are Wade and James.

The Heat made substitutions, allowing Wade to return to the court. He has also rested for a long time since the first quarter, and his physical strength has almost recovered.Unexpectedly, even if Wade played, he could not suppress Thornton's scoring trend.After he gets the ball and breaks through the inside with a screen, he can get rid of Wade and face Dalembert in a dislocation.Dalembert couldn't prevent Thornton's breakthrough.Thornton scored two more points for a layup.

In the next round, Wade failed to make a breakthrough shot, and Thackeray got a backboard and passed to Hinrich, who launched a fast break for Thornton.The Heat only had Moore return to defense in place, and Thornton was confident of scoring without waiting for his teammates to attack with the ball.

Moore didn't stick too closely, and followed the defense all the way to the basket.Thornton made a throw. 38 to 29.

While people were cheering, they found that the hero who scored the goal fell to the ground...

There is a Chinese saying that goes, "Extreme joy begets sorrow".Thornton stole everyone's limelight today. Hearing the cheers from the audience, he also felt that he was a star. He became a little bit cocky, his confidence was getting stronger and stronger, he lost his previous caution, and even ignored his protective actions.

The key to throwing is to keep a distance from the opponent, and make a quick shot without jumping too much. It is best to ensure that both legs land together.In pursuit of speed, Thornton took off with one foot and landed with one foot.The shot was concealed enough to fool Moore, but when his right foot fell, it happened to step on Moore's foot.

Back then, the Spurs Bruce Bowen liked to put his feet under the opponent's feet when others were shooting jumpers, so there was a high chance of spraining his ankle.It was a surprise that Moore was only in his second year and had no such experience.Thornton could only blame himself for stepping on his foot.

Thornton sprained, whether it was players or fans, in the arena or in front of the TV, there was an ominous premonition.

The team doctor checked Thornton's ankle, which was swollen.Thornton is not Akagi Gangken, and this is not a caricature, so although this game is very important, the Clippers need him, and he can't play.Thornton left with the help of Lamb, and he was going to do a detailed inspection next.

The game continued and the Heat attacked. After Wade made a mid-range shot, Thibodeau asked for a timeout. He was smiling at first, but now he looked ugly as if he had been slapped.

The players circled the city, and Thibodeau said: "Isiah (Thomas), you go on the court and try to break through. Ye and Isiah pick and roll. Mark (Gasol) and Paul (Gasol) are in the low post, one person pulling Go to the perimeter and cover. Defensively, Leaf on LeBron, Matt (Barnes) on Wade. Isiah on Ray. Allen, Paul and Mark protect the rim."

The Clippers sent 32 defenses.It will be more difficult for Thomas to defend against Thunder Allen, and the Heat may not let the Clippers get what they want.

The Heat also made a substitution, with James returning to the court and replacing Moore.The Heat only have Dalembert as a backup, in order to strengthen the low-post defense.

Thornton was injured and the Clippers were weakened. This is the opportunity for the Heat.Love's absence has damaged the inside line, and now the outside line has lost a general.
Thomas' breakthrough may not be worse than Thornton's, but his overall strength is much worse, especially his defense.He didn't feel very good today either. He got a chance to make a phone call and missed a jumper after an emergency stop.

The Heat seized the opportunity to start a counterattack.Bosh cooperated with Wade in the pick-and-roll on the outside. Wade broke through and scored the ball. Bosh squeezed Thomas to catch the ball and broke through the middle. He dunked with one hand and scored.Bosh added a free throw and the Heat approached the score. 38 to 34.

Ye Feng gave Thomas a cover, the latter missed a breakthrough layup, and Bosh got the rebound.The Heat attacked, Ray Allen played singles with the ball, the players pulled away, he dribbled the ball hard to eat Thomas, turned around and hit a jumper. 38 to 36.

Ray Allen is not a player who can only shoot three-pointers. If there is a good opportunity, he will also attack with the ball.

The Clippers attacked, and Ye Feng went to the outside to cover. After Thomas broke through, he couldn't pass the ball back to Ye Feng. James succeeded in going around.Ye Feng ran from the right at 45 degrees. Gasol covered without the ball and helped him avoid James. When the space appeared, Thomas' passing awareness was not good enough. outside line.

James bypassed the cover and followed Ye Feng.Thibodeau shook his head on the sidelines. If the Clippers have a point guard with a wide field of vision, the offense will be sharper.

Ye Feng asked for the ball in the low post on the left, and Barnes lobbed it in.James blocked the defense, Ye Feng leaned his back, turned to the middle and made a throw! 40 to 34.

Ye Feng had to take on more offensive tasks and was under a lot of pressure.This game must be won. If they lose and Thornton cannot play next game, the Clippers will be absolutely passive.
