The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 76 [Bad Team]

Milicic jumps past Dampier, Gay catches a pass to Conley, and the Grizzlies attack.Conley is one of the few classic point guards in the league. This kind of classicism lies in the fact that he never shoots or breaks through as long as he can pass the ball, although he has a very good breakthrough ability.

As soon as he got to the frontcourt, Conley immediately handed the ball to his good friend, the guy with "GAY" printed on the back of his jersey!Gay used Milicic's pick-and-roll to get rid of Howard, took a step inside the three-point line, made a quick stop and made a jump shot. The movement was beautiful, and he also avoided Nowitzki's block, but the ball missed.

At this time, Kwame Brown's character broke out, stuck Dampier, and grabbed an offensive rebound when he was almost unable to take off.

Brown walked to the free throw line tremblingly.Most young players reach their peak after playing in the league for a few years. Brown, who entered the league after graduating from high school, is an outlier. After playing for six seasons, his shooting has begun to degenerate.Especially free throws.He still shot 70 percent of his free throws in his first season, but he's down to 40 percent now.

He looked at the basket in confusion, aimed for a while, and threw the ball with a very standard posture, hitting the iron.The same is true for the second free throw, Nowitzki scored the backcourt rebound.Missing two free throws at the start hurts morale as much as missing an empty basket.

On the defensive end, Ye Feng followed up with Josh Howard.Howard averaged 20 points, 7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1 steal per game. He played the best data of his career and is very likely to be selected for the All-Star Game.But seeing Ye Feng coming up, his scalp felt numb.In the game against the Lakers, Ye Feng's defense impressed him deeply. Under close defense, he couldn't easily turn around after receiving the ball, and immediately passed it out, handing it to Devin Harris.Harris rushed into the inside like lightning, Ye Feng turned around and chased back, very resolutely.

Harris is often the first choice to shoot after a breakthrough, and he will never look at Howard behind him.Facing Brown's supplementary defense, Harris calculated the distance and slowed down, and took two small steps to prepare for a throw. Ye Feng had quick eyes and quick hands, and jumped up from behind to block the ball.

Gay picked up the ball and passed it to Conley for a fast break.

Howard returned to the defense quickly, and Conley had already got a singles opportunity, but he was not confident enough, slowed down and waited for his teammates to get in position, which gave the Mavericks enough time to return to the defense, passed the ball a few times, and it seemed that 24 seconds were about to come, The Grizzlies couldn't get out of the neutral position either, and in the end Gay barely pulled out his hand and hit the iron again.The Mavericks are defending a 122 zone defense, completely compressing the defense line in the three-second zone, preventing penetration but not shooting.

Ye Feng had no choice but to return to the defense. The Mavericks handed the ball to Nowitzki. Howard ran to Nowitzki to find an off-ball cover. Nowitzki passed the ball knowingly and blocked Ye Feng, assisting Howard. Hit the CIC. 0 to 2.

On the offensive end, Milicic singled Nowitzki, turned around and missed the hook.Nowitzki made a golden rooster on the offensive end, and Milicic made a hit in the singles. 0 to 4.

The Grizzlies' offense continues to strike...

After playing for more than three minutes, Ye Feng missed a shot from a high position.The Grizzlies' offense was completely contained.With Gasol in charge before, the Grizzlies scored 13 games and ranked No.12 in the West. Although they are far from the playoffs, this result is already very good for them.With Gasol gone, the Grizzlies simply don't look like a whole.Players can still play some cooperation during training, but when they are on the field, they play in a mess, taking turns to catch the ball and do it alone.The Lakers' triangle offense is also individual singles, but the success rate is much higher.The Grizzlies had only one midrange shot by Gay.The score was 2 to 9.

The Grizzlies lack someone who can attack with the ball, and Gay can't be called a leader. His offensive methods are too simple.In Ye Feng's previous life, when Durant first entered the league, he was almost unable to make a jump shot. After winning the scoring title in the third year, some people still questioned his style of play, saying that he was difficult to become a master.It wasn't until he started to strengthen his breakthrough and averaged more than 3 assists per game that he was fully recognized by people.It is impossible to shoot the opponent to death by shooting. To tear the opponent's defense line, someone must break through.

Ye Feng is not skilled enough to handle the ball, but his speed is very fast. As long as someone covers him, he can easily get rid of the defender in one step.This has been evident in training. In addition, his low-post offense is better than Gay's.He needs the ball.

After defending an attack from the Mavericks, Ye Feng shouted at Conley in the low post: "Give me the ball!"

Conley saw that Ye Feng's desire to attack was high, so he lobbed the ball to him from the left side, and Ye Feng misplaced to meet Nowitzki.After dribbling, he withdrew from the face frame, lowered his center of gravity, and passed the ball from his right hand to his left hand. Without any fake moves, he dribbled the ball to the middle.The Mavericks knew that the Grizzlies lacked pitchers. The defensive formation was 122 zone defense, and the compressed defense was on the three-second zone line.He made an emergency stop in the middle and took off dryly. Nowitzki was already slow, and Dampier rushed forward and jumped up to block the block.

Ye Feng shot the ball with one hand, the parabola was very low, it was a "three non-stick", but he did it on purpose, Milicic cut into the basket to receive the ball, and dunked into the basket with one hand. 4 to 9.

Ye Feng has already chosen a template for himself, and the person he wants to imitate is LeBron James.At the small forward position, James is already the strongest.He has a strong physique, sharp breakthrough, and great lethality.This pass was learned by Ye Feng watching the James game video. If the inside players are attracted, he will pass to the basket. If he cannot attract the inside players, he will shoot.

Milicic punched Ye Feng while returning to defense.On the defensive end, Milicic blocked a jumper from Nowitzki again.He was the No. 2003 pick in [-]. He has excellent talent, good mobility and height.Although the offense has been wasted over the years, his defense is not bad.

Ye Feng blocked Dampier, protected the backcourt rebound, and handed it to Conley.It wasn't his job to protect the backcourt rebounds, so he also went to grab them.He wants to see what level he can play when he regards brushing data as a task.

Running to the Mavericks' half, Ye Feng went to the low post on the right to ask for the ball. He wanted to shoot one over Nowitzki's head, but Nowitzki went to find Milicic, and Ye Feng's defense became Dampier.

With Dampier's tonnage, a hard squeeze will definitely not work, but his speed is very slow and his weakness is obvious.After receiving the ball, Ye Feng took a step against Dampier. Before the Mavericks could compress the defense, he handed the ball to his left hand and turned to the baseline. There was only one person in the baseline. , Take a three-step backhand dunk into the basketball. 6 to 9.

Ye Feng began to find the feeling after the misplaced attack, but it was not enough to win against the Mavericks, they still needed to find a way to defend.

Harris dribbled the ball through the screen and broke through to the inside. Kwame Brown didn't switch defenses in time, and Harris rushed into the inside line like a hot wheel and scored a layup. 6 to 11.Ye Feng doesn't know how to have multiple shadow clones, he can't guard against 5 people, he can only sing like a song: "Looking at you helplessly, but not being powerful, let you disappear at the end of the world..."

Gay missed the jumper again, the Mavericks grabbed the rebound and quickly counterattacked, Harris dribbled the ball across the half court, and made a forced layup under Conley's close defense. 6 to 13.

Ye Feng turned around and hit the hook. 8 to 13.But looking back, Howard relied on the screen to score two more points. 8 to 15.The Grizzlies couldn't recover the score, and they were full of loopholes on the defensive end.

The problem is Kwame Brown. He doesn't even bother to cover the defense. He just stretches out his hand and turns around to get in position to grab a rebound.Ye Feng knew that he wanted to fight for statistics, so he grabbed rebounds at the expense of the team's defense.

In basketball, defense is as important as offense.The reason why Ye Feng got higher evaluation than Durant was because of his defense.Zach Randolph scored 20+10 every year, but he is recognized as a stat brush, and it is also because he doesn't pay attention to defense.

When Ye Feng went to the low post to catch the ball for the fourth time, the Mavericks took action.George and Dampier began to double-team him. Dampier defended the bottom line and gave way to George in the middle.Ye Feng's height disadvantage was revealed, and the flanker could hardly see the basket, so he had to pass the ball out of the three-point line, and Conley missed a jumper from the outside.The rebound was won by Nowitzki again.

Conley's shooting is poor, and the three-pointer is even less trustworthy. The most accurate three-pointer on the Grizzlies is actually Gay, with a 35% shooting rate. Without a shooter, the Grizzlies simply cannot break through the Mavericks' zone defense.The Grizzlies' seemingly promising youth lineup was no match for the Mavericks. With 1 minute left in the first quarter, they were 18 points behind 34-16.

Ye Feng now realizes how terrible it is to play on a bad team, and he can't help but miss his Lakers teammates.He didn't expect to win, so he simply used it as practice, running to the three-point line to catch the ball and practice breakthroughs.He dribbled the ball to avoid Howard under the cover of Brown, stepped on the free throw line, pulled the ball up with his right hand and took a big stride, turned around and passed the defending Nowitzki, entered the inside line, and jumped up.Dampier made up the defense, Ye Feng made a pulling action in the air, and the ball was handed over to his right hand to avoid the block and score a layup with a low hand. 20 to 34.

This kind of goal made the eyes of the audience shine, Ye Feng rarely hits like this.He is very skilled in turning around in training, but rarely uses it in games. He is going to practice turning around, breaking through and pulling the bar for layups as his own tricks.
