Thanos

Just do it
Ye Heping was sitting on the bench. He had been sitting for 9 minutes since he was replaced in the first quarter.

During these 9 minutes, he thought a lot.

Although they had made enough preparations before the game and knew that the Mavericks were stronger, they still didn't know enough.

Where is it not enough?

Knowing the weakness of the Lakers, Ye Heping's gorgeous record of 59 wins and 23 losses has dazzled Ye Heping, thinking that the Lakers are very strong.

This is knowing the enemy without knowing yourself!
But there are actually a lot of problems.

At position 1, Atkins and Brown are both strong offensively and weak defensively, and Atkins has no chance to be a starter for other teams.

In the 4th position, there is no 4th position that can really resist. Odom still prefers the 3rd position more, and Medvedenko and Cook are not the 4th positions that can be resisted.

At the 5th position, except for a meme who was playing in his prime, Grant and Divac are too old to be old.

In the whole team, the age structure is seriously unreasonable, there are too many rookies, too many veterans, and there are fewer players in their prime.

Then there is the playoff experience. In the main rotation, most people have not experienced the baptism of the playoffs and cannot fight tough battles.

These problems can be remedied in the regular season, but in the playoffs, even the problems with big pinholes will be infinitely magnified and targeted by opponents.

In a word, the strength of the Lakers is indeed not as good as that of the Mavericks.

But do you have to admit defeat if your strength is not as good as it is?

Ye Heping's eyes gradually became firm: "Why do you care so much? Just do it!"

Soon, the head coaches of the two sides replaced the starting lineup one after another, and Ye Heping also played again.

This time it's not about playing ball, but about fighting!

This is not a basketball court, but a battlefield!

"Fight!"

The Lakers attack.

Because his teammates were not strong enough, Kobe chose to shoot himself. Even though the Mavericks sent two leading defensive soldiers to deal with him, they couldn't scare Kobe.

Throughout the first quarter, Kobe scored 18 of the team's 14 points and was in excellent condition.

But no one can always maintain such a good state.

On the first ball of the second quarter, Kobe missed it badly. The basketball hit the backboard and bounced far away, flying in the direction of Nowitzki.

Nowitzki opens his arms, ready to receive the basketball.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly burst out from behind Nowitzki, then put his back against Nowitzki and received the rebound.

Golden No. 24, Ye Heping.

This is a tiger's mouth grabbing food!
After receiving the rebound, Ye Heping made a direct shot.

Nowitzki behind him couldn't watch, and jumped high to block the shot.

At that time, Nowitzki's ability to block shots should not be underestimated. Niu Huo blocked nearly 2 shots in seven major battles. It was not easy for a big pitcher floating on the outside.

But Ye Heping seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and suddenly he dodged sideways.

Play harder, but also smarter.

Nowitzki flew past Ye Heping and realized that Ye Heping was a fake move, but it was too late.

At this moment, no one was defending, and Ye Heping made a mid-range shot after adjusting.

Swish!
Finally scored, this is Ye Heping's first goal in this game, and also the first time in his career playoffs.

Before that, Ye Heping made 4 of 0 shots.

37: 24.

Mavericks attack.

It is still Nowitzki and Terry's pick-and-roll, but this simple tactic works very well.

The key is that the Lakers didn't dare not switch defenses. After switching defenses, Odom couldn't guard Terry.

Terry's speed is too fast, it is the perfect small chance to play big, and Odom is really struggling to defend.

But this time, Ye Heping was prepared.

"Lamar, Nowitzki comes in, you guard. Go out, I'll follow!"

Odom nodded.

Although Ye Heping is still a rookie, the whole team has acquiesced to his position as the defensive core, and his performance on the defensive end always reassures his teammates.

Nowitzki ran out, and suddenly found that Ye Heping was following him, but he didn't realize anything, and still firmly implemented the original pick-and-roll tactic.

After dismantling, Ye Heping switched to Terry, which is still a chance to fight big.

Terry is 188 centimeters, Ye Heping is 206 centimeters, and there is a height difference of 18 centimeters.

Terry is very confident that he can beat Odom with his own speed, and naturally he can also beat Ye Heping.

Without even changing direction, Terry accelerated directly.

But when he just took a step, Ye Heping had already slipped and moved sideways to block his way forward.

Terry didn't expect Ye Heping to have such a fast traverse speed at all, and he directly collided with Ye Heping, and was caught off guard.

At this moment, Ye Heping stretched out his long arms and grabbed the basketball directly.

After getting the ball, Ye Heping launched a fast break directly.

Annoyed and angry Terry caught up, and Finley also blocked in front. It has to be said that the Mavericks switch offense and defense very quickly, and most teams with Spurs coaches have this characteristic.

Ye Heping's chances were not good, but he didn't hesitate at all.

After attacking the basket, Ye Heping jumped directly and attacked the basket.

Finley and Terry also took off together, pinching back and forth, trying to defend against the ball.

But at this moment, Ye Heping stopped his movements suddenly, and his whole body sank again.

Another fake!
Ye Heping just raised his back heel just now, but still stepped on the ground with his front foot, but he tricked Terry and Finley at the same time.

There is no way, Ye Heping is taller, if the two jump at the same time or jump in advance, they will not be able to block Ye Heping at all.

Taking advantage of the time difference between the two of them falling in the air, Ye Heping really jumped up and clasped his hands heavily.

Bang!
37: 26.

This was a powerful dunk. Ye Heping used all his strength. Although it was not necessary at all, and he could score with a light release, Ye Heping just wanted to dunk.

The three made contact in the air. Ye Heping grabbed the basket and just swayed from side to side, but Terry and Finley were bounced away.

Finley is stronger and can stand still after retreating in embarrassment.

Terry was only 84 kilograms, which was too light. He was hit by Ye Heping when he made contact in the air, and he fell backwards to the ground.

In the eyes of the fans, it was Ye Heping who directly ran into the two of them and pulled out a dunk. The scene was extremely powerful and domineering.

The Staples Center was directly lit, and Los Angeles fans cheered with their hands high.

On the Lakers bench, Medvedenko jumped three feet high, threw the towel on the floor, and gnawed and screamed while hugging Divac.

"Are you kidding me?"

(are you joking around with me?)

McBrin directly held the microphone and yelled. The No. 1 American sports commentator who had seen countless big scenes was shocked.

"If I didn't know that O'Neal was on the East Coast, I would have thought it was O'Neal who dunked just now."

That's right, the scene just now looked very much like O'Neal pushing everyone away under the basket, and then the bully dunked, it was so domineering!

At this time, the big screen above the arena began to replay the slow motion of the ball just now, and the fans realized that Ye Heping's movements were different from O'Neal's.

O'Neal can ignore everything and dunk directly.

Ye Heping tricked the two of them by making fake moves to beat the time difference.

The style of play is very different, but the scene looks a bit similar.

"This kid is very smart. When he hit Nowitzki just now, he used fake moves to trick Nowitzki into a time difference. His golf IQ is really high!"

Mark Jackson said that as the top point guard in the league, he also has a high golf quotient, and he has a strong sense of identity with Ye Heping.

"What amazed me the most was his adjustment speed. He made 4 of 0 shots in the first quarter, and he played a wave of 4-0 attacks as soon as the second quarter came up. His offensive and defensive performances were outstanding. It was almost like two people!"

Pippen curled his lips and said lazily: "Well, it's not bad!"
