The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 110 [The Man in the Prophecy]

The Lakers rarely request a timeout in such a short period of time, but Jackson can see that the Clippers' offensive momentum has picked up, and it cannot be solved by the self-adjustment of the players on the court.The Clippers can always use the cover to make Ye Feng misplaced to hit the two tall insiders of the Lakers. Ye Feng's explosive power is too strong, and it cannot be restricted by his height.

Jackson didn't expect Ye Feng to be able to learn Hardaway's stunt. There are many guards in the league who know this trick, but even if they break through, it is difficult to get a shot if they are not tall.Ye Feng is different. His height has an advantage in the 2nd and 3rd positions. Once he breaks through and shoots, it is difficult to be blocked.What's even more frightening is that he is good at post-ups in the low post. He is a combination of strength and speed. If he goes to the low post and relies on outside players, few can resist him.If he is defended by a tall inside player, he can use his speed advantage to get rid of it.

Looking at the data, Kenny Smith said: "The original core of the Clippers, Brand, is 203 cm tall. Does Ye Feng look a bit like him now?"

Barkley laughed and said, "It's not like that at all. Brand is a pure inside player. Remember Pat Riley's prediction more than ten years ago? Ye Feng is the person in that prediction. Except that Lowry is too short Besides, the Clippers are a lot like that team."

The Heat manager Pat Riley, who is known as the "magic operator", once predicted that the future development trend of basketball will be five swingmen with a height of about 5 meters standing on the field, with fuzzy positions and all-round players.Barnes, Smith, and Ye Feng are all swing players, and Love is not as tall as a center.

In fact, Ye Feng still can't shoot in any position, let alone shoot three-pointers. The only feints he can do are dribble under the crotch and turn around. His abilities turned him into a monster.

Jackson adjusted the lineup, Odom and Ariza, replacing Bynum and Radmanovich.The purpose is very clear, strengthen the defense!The defensive formation has also become a 122 zone defense, compressing the defense at the four corners of the three-second zone, preventing breakthroughs and not preventing shots. He has read the information on the Clippers players, and the shooting ability of this starting lineup is not strong.

On the offensive end, Jackson asked Odom to pull up to a high position and pass the ball to Gasol for low-post singles. The biggest flaw of the Clippers now is the lack of height inside. Gasol can easily turn around and shoot under the defense of Love and Smith.After reaching the high screen, passing to Odom's dislocation attack also has a height advantage.

At this time, the Lakers need Gasol to stand up as the axis of the triangle offense.Jackson said to Kobe: "Don't score points with Ye Fengbiao, he doesn't guard you at all now, if Gasol's low post can attract double-teams, you can get more shots."

Kobe nodded.

On the Clippers side, Thibodeau did not arrange another tactic, but let Ye Feng hold the ball and decide how to hit him.Before the game started, he didn't expect to be able to play so smoothly, it was amazing.

The timeout ended and both sides returned to the field.Instead of Ariza defending Ye Feng, Kobe went to defend Barnes.

The Lakers took possession of the ball, Fisher slowly dribbled the ball to the right, and lobbed it to Gasol, who was in position inside. The Lakers officially changed their strategy.Smith was pulled out of the basket by Odom, and Gasol singled Love.

Pau Gasol's offensive methods are rich, not just turning around and jumping.After getting the ball, he dribbled the ball with his back to the middle, with his left foot as the axis, and took a step toward the middle with his right foot. When Love moved a little, he immediately retracted his right foot, stepped towards the baseline, and made a hook with the ball in one hand. hand movements.Love was shaken by this action and jumped up to block the shot.But Gasol still didn't shoot, his arm was retracted again, he jumped up to the basket, and put the basketball under his left hand. 12 to 8.

Gasol is very stable on the pivot foot, making beautiful low footsteps.Le Fu was stunned miserably, he was not afraid of people coming hard, he was afraid of people playing tricks.

The Clippers are attacking, Ye Feng is getting the ball at a high position, and the defender is replaced by Ariza.Ariza has a strong ability to follow up and defend, and his arms are slender, making it difficult to break through.Love came out to cover, and after switching defenses, he became Odom, a man with the same height and long arms and fast movement.

The Lakers began to take special care of Ye Feng.Odom blocked Ye Feng's way and forced him to the outside.Ye Feng dribbled the ball laterally, attracting Odom to move with him, and passed the ball to Love in the high position.Love faced Ariza, a little higher, but he didn't bounce, and he didn't have a good chance to shoot. He watched with his back and handed the ball to Lowry who ran past him.

Lowry dribbled into the lane, accelerated away from Ariza and Fisher, and made a toss before Gasol made up the defense.It's a pity that the ball was a little rushed and missed.Gasol grabbed the backboard.

The Lakers attacked again, and Gasol singled Love with the ball in the low post.Love knows that he has no bounce and is short. If he wants to guard Gasol, it is too difficult to use the academic knowledge he learned at UCLA.

When Love was defending against Gasol, he observed the referee's position from the corner of his eye. His right hand was leaning on Gasol's back, and his left hand poked Gasol's waist when he was about to turn around. He was taught a few times by Ma Hong. In the past six months, what he has learned the most is playing tricks.

Gasol's waist was stagnant, and his movements were slightly deformed, but it was not a big problem, and he could still turn around and shoot with the ball in his hand.He jumped up, and Love pressed him tightly. On the surface, he wanted to seal Gasol's eyes with his right hand. In fact, the movement of his left hand was the key. He grabbed the corner of Gasol's shorts.As soon as Gasol jumped, he felt that his pants wanted to drop.As soon as he was distracted, the shot went wide.

Love used the scum-style defense successfully, and the referee didn't call a foul.His body is wide and his small movements are more subtle.

Odom was ahead of Smith and got stuck in the inside and grabbed the offensive rebound.He grabbed the basket, caused Smith's foul, and got two free throw opportunities.

Smith is busy, doing superman's work, high salary is not so easy to get.After Odom made two free throws, 12 to 10, the Lakers began to recover the score.

On the offensive end, Love pulled to a high position again and changed to cover for Lowry. After the Lakers changed to a 122 zone defense, the players stood still and let Lowry pass to the people behind. This defensive weakness lies in the two bottom corners.Barnes ran to the corner.Lowry scored the ball in the past, Odom jumped out to defend, Barnes missed a three-pointer, and Gasol got the rebound again.

Love saw that the rebound belonged, and quickly returned to defense.Gasol was handed over to Kobe. Kobe threw off Barnes and rushed towards the Clippers half court. Ye Feng returned to the defense the fastest and formed a one-on-one with Kobe.Kobe couldn't get rid of him with his speed. He paused slightly when he stepped on the three-point line, and started to change speed. He also used the crotch dribble to pass people. Ye Feng watched Lowry play this trick too many times. He didn't get caught and followed to the low position. .Kobe didn't get a chance to face the frame directly.

Smith and Barnes also returned to defense.At this time, Kobe felt a little unwilling. He didn't want to be defended on a one-on-one fast break. Although Gasol had already reached the low post and got the chance to single Smith, Kobe didn't pass the ball. He dribbled the ball into Ye Feng and turned around. Back jumper.

Ye Feng was not so easy to be knocked away, he immediately jumped up to block the shot, Kobe's shot was very elegant, the elegant shot is often not fast enough, the ball was blocked by Ye Feng!

After landing, Ye Feng immediately turned around, took off for the second time, picked up the falling basketball, and passed it to Lowry.

Kobe slapped his hands and yelled at the referee: "The puncher fouled!"

The referee ignored him.This ball is very clear, it is a good ball.Kobe's talent is only average, and none of his skills can be called unsolvable. As long as he judges what he will do next, it can be prevented.During the opening period, Ye Feng's performance overwhelmed Kobe.

The Lakers' defensive system also began to play a role. They occupied the penalty area. One person outside was pestering Ye Feng, and one person inside was responsible for changing the pick-and-roll, making it impossible for Ye Feng to easily catch the ball and enter the paint.Lowry broke through with the ball and passed the ball to Love, who then passed to Josh Smith, who hit Gasol from the baseline and missed a jumper.

The Lakers attacked, and Gasol went to the left low post to play Love. This time, Love had no chance to make a small move. Gasol dribbled the ball away from him and turned around. He dribbled inside and made a three-step hook shot. . 12 to 12.

After the timeout, the Lakers chased 6 points in a row, and the two sides returned to the same starting line.

Seeing this situation, Barkley said: "Ye Feng has already received the defensive treatment of the stars in the first game, and the Lakers' defensive tactics have worked."

Kenny Smith said: "This is the time to test the Clippers' shooting."

The biggest problem with the Clippers' starting lineup is shooting.Love practiced a three-pointer during the holiday, but he was not as sure as CIC. Barnes was a three-pointer on the field, but was closely followed by Kobe.After a few passes in the frontcourt, Josh Smith made a three-pointer at the top of the arc.He is often a little nonsensical in his shot selection. He knows that his outside shots are not accurate, but he dares to try, and the ball is short. Under the 122 zone defense, it is difficult for the offensive side to enter the penalty area, and Odom protects the rebounds.

On the offensive end, Odom received a return pass after a high pick-and-roll, faced Lowry with the ball and made an emergency stop for a jumper, and the ball also missed.

The shooting percentages of both sides began to decline. The Lakers strictly guarded Ye Feng. He took the ball from the outside. Ariza and Odom were not so easy to be passed.The Lakers Kobe was also strictly guarded, only relying on Gasol to score in singles, both sides failed to open the score.

In the second half of the quarter, Ye Feng began to ask for the ball in the low post. When he couldn't shoot well, playing the low post was a good choice, and he could also open up space after attracting double teams.

The Lakers saw the way and didn't dare to double-team Ye Feng. They only let Odom defend alone. Ye Feng used his physical advantage to hit Odom with his back in the low post, turned around and shot with one hand, and scored a goal.

Two minutes later, Ye Feng did the same, the same player turned around after catching the ball, ignoring Ariza's double-teaming, and relying on his jumping ability to hit the inside.Knowing that he couldn't defend, Odom chose to foul early and sent Ye Feng to the free throw line.Made two free throws.

Ye Feng is very threatening in the low post. The Lakers don't dare to compress too much. As long as they double-team, Ye Feng will split the ball. Barnes received a pass from him on the weak side before the end of the first quarter and made a hit. three points.

首节比分25比22，快船领先3分，叶锋得到11分1篮板3助攻1盖帽。
