The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 55 [The Substitute Is Crazy]

The Hornets with the "Queen Bee" Paul can be among the top five in the league. If Paul is not on the court, they are a group of headless flies and cannot organize an effective offense. In November, when Paul missed two games, the Hornets suffered a two-game losing streak, including an upset loss to the Timberwolves.The season has just begun, and the Timberwolves have already become the favorites to get the No. 11 pick next summer.Even the Timberwolves dared to lose, which shows how bad the Hornets are without Paul.

Paul's height is only 183cm. On the basketball court full of tall people, it can be said that he has physical defects.But he has a super high ball quotient and knows how to turn these shortcomings into advantages.He is good friends with NFL Saints star running back Reggie Bush, who believes Paul could be an NFL All-Star every year if he plays quarterback.

Now that Paul is on the court, the Hornets players are all pulled away, giving him the opportunity to single out Farmar.He dribbled the ball outside the three-point line on the right, shook his left shoulder slightly, and passed the ball to his right hand to cut in. This is a change of direction that every defender will make. Farmar immediately shifted his center of gravity to the right to stop him. Paul quickly pulled the ball back with his right hand, dribbled the ball behind his back and passed it to his left hand, and changed to break through from the left.

Farmar couldn't brake enough and was almost knocked to the ground.Paul took the ball and took a step to make an emergency stop jumper, and the ball went hollow into the net. 36 to 41.

Farmar's defense is terrible. Even the Lakers rookie Crittenton can score a lot of points in front of him, let alone Paul, who can blow up the entire league's point guards?

"Ronnie (Turiaf), make an air cut at any time after the pick-and-roll." Ye Feng said to Turiaf, and sent the baseline ball.

West is not a player who is good at defense. Ye Feng is full of confidence now, and he feels that it is no problem to play West.But Turiaf, who is in the high position, is a bit taller than Wright and has grown stronger, which seems to have an advantage.After the pick-and-roll, Turiaf can shoot jumpers in the high post, and he can also cut inside.Ye Feng had already shot quite a few shots. Thinking of how he longed for the ball when he watched Kobe playing singles, he felt that it was necessary for his teammates to get some shots.So he made up his mind, if he was strictly guarded, he would pass it to Turiaf.

Turiaf gave Ye Feng a high position without the ball, and the ball was passed to Ye Feng. Ye Feng relied on his speed to take the first step to the left without throwing off West.Ye Feng immediately dribbled the ball with his back and leaned against West to prevent his opponent from stealing the ball.

After the pick-and-roll, Tuliaf threw off Wright and cut into the inside from the middle.Ye Feng observed him from the corner of his eye all the time, and handed the ball to Turiaf.

Chandler is defending Kwame Brown, West follows Ye Feng, and the Hornets are empty inside.Turiaf catches the ball and rushes to the basket for a two-handed dunk!He is also a passionate player, clenching his fists and tensing his muscles after landing, which is extremely provocative. 38 to 41.

Jackson applauded Ye Feng from the bottom of his heart.Only a good combination of passing, rushing and shooting is the strongest player.Ye Feng's number of assists in the six games is a big criticism. His passing awareness is very poor, at least he has started to try.

The Lakers quickly returned to defense, Paul dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and West went to a high screen.Paul shook off Farmar, and Ye Feng switched defenses.Paul's speed is very fast, but just because of this, he still can't get rid of Ye Feng.

Paul is the kind of player who combines several important skills well.He was running, turned around and handed the ball to West who followed up.West dribbled the ball and made an emergency stop for a jumper. The ball hit the ball steadily, and Farmar became a colander. 38 to 43.

Ye Feng shouted: "Don't worry, change the formation in the next round and score this goal first. I'll go to the low post and Ronnie will cover in the high post."

Turiaf went high to cover for Farmar and fended off Paul for him.Paul's height dislocation can't prevent Turia's high jumper, but he has been selected to the league's defensive lineup several times, so he is naturally unique.He jammed in front of Turiaf, raising his arms to block Farmar's passing lane, while Wright caught up with Farmar.Ye Feng saw the opportunity to activate, and ran to Farmar to respond.

Farmar passed the ball to Ye Feng from a short distance.He didn't stop after receiving the ball, and jumped directly into the basket.This trick was taught by Odom. It doesn't matter if you have poor dribbling. If you have the right timing, you can still rush to the basket.Ye Feng made good use of his physical advantage, and faced Chandler's defense in the middle, he threw the ball with one hand, and the ball missed.Ye Feng's position was already very close to the basket, he immediately took off for the second time, made a self-throwing shot, stepped forward lightly, made a tip-up and dialed the ball into the basket. 40 to 43.

Returning to defense, Ye Feng shouted: "Jordan (Famar) defends Pargo, Sasha (Vujacic) and Wright, Paul hand it over to me. Ronnie pay attention to defending."

The Lakers players changed positions immediately.In this way, Ye Feng won't suffer a single defense against Paul, and he can switch to West when encountering a pick-and-roll.If Paul chooses to break through, the two big men on the inside will take turns blocking him, which will definitely make him uncomfortable.

When Paul saw Ye Feng coming up, his expression became more serious.He watched Ye Feng play off the field for a while, and then watched Ye Feng direct the change, and he didn't dare to underestimate Ye Feng in his heart.He dribbled the ball to the right, and Ye Feng put him one more step away to defend.

If someone else put it so far, Paul would immediately choose a jump shot, but the opponent was Ye Feng.He has seen Ye Feng's bullet speed. People of the same height can easily be blocked by him when jumping in front of him.Paul is 20 centimeters shorter than Ye Feng, and the difference in wingspan is even bigger. If he makes a sudden stop for a jump shot, even with this distance, Ye Feng is likely to successfully block the shot, so Paul chose to break through.He patted the ball with his right hand and took a small step forward, the speed was not fast, he wanted to attract Ye Feng.

Come on, move with my rhythm, come up and steal.Paul thought to himself, Ye Feng didn't move forward, but slid back gently, and continued to keep a distance from Paul.Ye Feng has his own plan, he wants to turn Paul into a shooter and force him to shoot.When Paul chooses to shoot, he jumps forward to interfere and reduce his shooting percentage.Paul in singles is not terrible. As long as he does not break through, it will be difficult to attract the inside defense to send a wonderful pass and revitalize the team.As long as the others misfire, even if Paul scores more than 30 points, the Lakers can still win the game.

Paul made a move. Seeing Ye Feng retreating, he immediately took a step back and shot a jump shot.

Ye Feng's mind turned quickly, he knew that if he took a step forward and took off again, it would be too late.Simply take off and block Paul's shot with all his strength.There was a distance of two steps between the two, Ye Feng jumped up and almost touched the basketball, the ball went in. 40 to 45.

Ye Feng's defense this time made Paul's heart beat wildly.It was just a little short. If he hadn't been careful and specially adjusted the arc of the shot, he might have really blocked the shot.This kind of defense is very rare. Most people will be attracted by the defense and subconsciously choose to follow up when they see the opponent step back and shoot.

Accustomed to playing against experienced players, Paul felt very uncomfortable when encountering Ye Feng's wild style of play.Although the goal was scored, Ye Feng's defense also exerted psychological pressure on him, and it was difficult for him to be so resolute when he shot again.

The Lakers organized an offensive. Farmar slowly led the ball across the half court under the pressure of Paul. Ye Feng came out to cover.The Hornets have already attached importance to Ye Feng, and would rather let Farmar shoot than let Ye Feng catch the ball.There were still two big men standing under the basket. Farmar gave up driving the ball into the penalty area and chose an emergency stop jumper.Paul failed to catch up from behind, and Farmar scored with an easy shot. 42 to 45.

Going back to the defensive end, Ye Feng was still the main defender of Paul. This time West picked and rolled, and after the switch, it became Turiaf to defend Paul. Paul easily passed Turiaf and attracted Brown's attack at the basket. defense.

Come on, come on me enough.Paul changed direction and took the ball for three steps, avoiding Brown's block and tossing the ball high. This is not a shot, but an alley-oop pass.Chandler, who was lying in ambush on the other side of the basket, then jumped up.

Someone can jump faster than Chandler!
After the pick-and-roll, Ye Feng let go of West without hesitation and went to the basket.He bet that Paul would drive to the basket and pass the ball to West.One is because he is a strong defensive point in the high position, and the other is that Paul does not have long eyes behind him, and passing the ball from too far away is easy to make mistakes.Paul didn't expect that Ye Feng would dare to let the Hornets' second-in-command to fill the defense, and passed a lob to Chandler.

Ye Feng rushed into the three-second zone on the right side, jumped high and slapped the lob ball on the backboard like a volleyball smash, and it bounced directly out of the three-point line.Chandler also jumped very high, and jumped onto Ye Feng. Ye Feng was hit sideways, and after landing, he lost his balance and fell to the ground and slid two meters away.

Vujacic picked up the basketball on the outside, and passed to Farmar to form a 2-on-1 frontcourt. Paul had already gone deep into the basket, and the Hornets only returned to defend in time. Pargo.Farmar took the ball to the frontcourt to attract the defense and then passed it to Vujacic on the left.

Vujacic was unguarded. He flicked his long hair and shot a three-pointer. This is a standard American three-pointer. The movement was very chic. The ball went into the net, which directly fascinated Sharapova who was watching the live broadcast of the game at home. . 45 to 45.The Lakers finally tied the score in the second quarter with a full bench lineup.

After Vujacic scored a goal, he raised his fist and returned to the half court, jumped up and bumped Ye Feng's chest.

Scott was dumbfounded. If the main force couldn't suppress the substitutes led by Ye Feng, the Hornets would have a bad day.Kobe and Odom haven't played yet.
