The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 125 [Forrest! Run! 】

The game lasted nearly 3 minutes before Thaddeus Young scored the first goal from a high position. 0 to 2.Both sides had chances outside the three-point line, but they hit the iron one after another, which made the audience drowsy.

Mike Bryan said: "Isn't it going to be like this for the whole game? Both sides are playing iron barrels, and the offensive efficiency is too low."

Mark Jackson said with a smile: "No one likes to watch this kind of game. Today's Clippers' offense was also lacklustre. Ye Feng has only shot once so far."

Van Gundy on the side stared at every move on the field and said with a smile: "I like this kind of game. The defense is so exciting, especially the Clippers. There are almost no loopholes in the defensive end. The Rockets did not have such a good defense back then. Ye Feng, Smith, and McGee form a perfect complement."

Van Gundy likes defense-first games. He made the Rockets the ugliest offensive team in the league just to ensure the defensive system.The Rockets repeat two kinds of offense every game, Yao Ming's turnaround jumper and Tracy McGrady's pull-up. After several years, now that Adelman is in the Rockets, he can't change the Rockets' usual offensive mode, only relying on Scola and Lan Derry added several new styles of play to the Rockets. When Hayes and Bowen were at power forward, the game was more monotonous.It is no exaggeration to say that Fan Tuzi has tortured Chinese fans for several years.

But what Van Gundy said is good, the Clippers' 122 zone defense did play a big role.This kind of zone defense is a transformation of 32 zone defense. It not only oppresses the outside line to a certain extent, obstructs the ball from 45 degrees, but also reduces the protection of blind spots below the free throw line and above the small penalty area, maintaining the characteristics of stealing the ball, and also Defending mid-range shots with cut screens is the most stable defensive formation in the current NBA.Even if he is as stupid as McGee, he won't be in the wrong position in this formation.

The Clippers attacked, Lowry took the ball to the frontcourt, and the high position was handed over to Ye Feng.Ye Feng got the ball with his back, and Iguodala defended from behind.Iguodala is known as the "little AI" and has the physical fitness of a top defender. Back then, Nate Robinson relied on the loopholes in the league and the referee's sympathy points to beat him and snatch the slam dunk title.

Ye Feng had already seen the position of the 76ers. His teammates couldn't score, and they had already made shots. At this time, it was time to stand up and attack.His shooting is not very good, and Iguodala is with him, who can interfere with him. At this time, if he wants to score, the only way he can think of is to use his muscles.

He passed the ball to Lowry on the outside, asked for the ball in the low post, and Brand defended.As soon as the ball was passed to his hands, he immediately mustered up all his strength and pushed Brand with his back, quickly turned around and entered the middle, skipped to avoid Iguodala's double-team, stopped suddenly and bent his knees to make a move. Pulling out the shooting posture, Brand turned around and raised his hands high, but he didn't take off. With his rich experience, Ye Feng's intention to make a foul was seen through.At this time, Ye Feng's only choice was to shoot, otherwise he would be called for a three-second violation. He jumped towards the forward with all his strength, overwhelming Brand to throw the ball with one hand.

Camby jumped up from the other side of the basket and tried to block the shot, but the ball was too high. Ye Feng's shot was not a low-arc shot, but a drop shot with a very high arc, which passed Camby's hand.

Ye Feng understands that the ball is uncertain, and he knows where it will go.As soon as he shot, he immediately squeezed into the basket and got stuck.Camby was too obsessed with blocking shots, and jumped so high that he had no place to grab a rebound after landing.Ye Feng took the offensive rebound, leaned against Camby with his back, jumped back, and shot with one hand.

He leaned so hard that Camby couldn't jump up.His back muscles are very developed, and he is better at using his strength and muscles after Mahon's guidance.What Ma Hong repeatedly emphasized is that jumping high is not necessarily good. The smartest way to use the body is to prevent the defender from jumping.Ye Feng jumped back, picked the basketball in with his low hand. 2 to 2.

"Beautiful!" Van Gundy exclaimed from the broadcast booth.

Ma Hong also clenched his fists on the sidelines. He likes to watch this kind of overpowering style of play. Camby's upper body strength is not very strong.

The 76ers attacked, and Andre Miller broke through with the ball, trying to open the space, but the Clippers were all dead, and only Lowry ran on the perimeter.Iguodala misses a jumper under Tony Allen's defense.McGee grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Ye Feng.Ye Feng passed it to Smith, who then passed it to Lowry.

The five of the Clippers told the run, and rushed to the 76ers half in a few steps. Lowry dribbled the ball from the right to the basket, attracted Iguodala's defense, and passed the ball to McGee, who was cut from the left. , the latter caught the ball and jumped up, smashing the ball with one hand and scoring! 4 to 2.

As soon as the Clippers play a fast break, they can form a 5-on-4. The only defensive loophole of the 76ers is actually Camby. The speed disadvantage of this veteran center cannot be compensated. Camby is a "colander" when it comes to guarding the fast break.

Camby was elected Defensive Player of the Year and was selected for the defensive first team, but he couldn't guard people, that's the fact.In the early days of his career, Camby's defense was very good, and the two indicators of blocks and rebounds have always been excellent.But now, the invasion of injuries, the growth of age and the slowdown of speed, the superposition of various factors has caused Camby's single-defense ability to plummet.Last season, the Nuggets averaged 110 points per game, but at the same time allowed their opponents to score 107 points per game. Their inability to effectively prevent their opponents from attacking was an important reason why they were easily resolved by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round.

Now that the Nuggets have lost Camby and sent Iverson away, the defense has immediately improved to a higher level.After playing more than a dozen games, 76ers fans can't see how the best defensive player's defense is good.As long as he defends out of the three-second zone, the defender can speed up and leave him behind. The most intuitive performance is that last week when the 76ers played against the Nets, Yi Jianlian played 38 minutes and made 15 of 9 shots, including 5 of 3 three-pointers. , scored a team-high 27 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block, and his opponent was Camby.

What's funny is that Camby, like Love, can't defend against the basket. He is known as a defensive strongman, and Love's code name is "data brush".This is only the first season, and some people have started to say that Love has rebounded. Camby is not as good as Love, and his rebounding efficiency is not as good as Love. He only has two more blocks per game than Love.

On the defensive end, the 76ers players all went to the perimeter, trying to open up space by passing the ball non-stop, but the Clippers always changed positions as the ball moved, and quickly shrunk to the penalty area.

The most suitable for a 122 zone defense is five fast-moving players. This formation is also much easier to run into.In Ye Feng's previous life, the Bulls rose rapidly thanks to Thibodeau's defensive system.Thibodeau is very surprising. Under his system, McGee is not much worse than Joakim Noah.

Brand received the ball in a low post, but the Clippers did not double-team. He turned around against Smith and scored with a hook.The best thing about Brand is his wingspan, which reaches 223cm. His hook is not easy to block shots, which is one of his tricks. 4 to 4.

During the attack, Ye Feng said to McGee: "Javier, go to the high jumper."

Ye Feng received the ball from a low position, carried Brand to the center with the ball, and Thaddeus Yang stepped forward to help defend.He handed the ball to McGee in the high post, Camby stood under the basket, and Iguodala was defending the high post after the switch.

This time, McGee finally didn't be stupid again, relying on his height advantage to face Iguodala with a handball and score. 6 to 4.

"Beautiful!" Ye Feng returned to the defense and patted McGee on the back, "Continue to stand high and pull Camby out. If he doesn't come out, you can shoot."

"Okay!" McGee was very proud that he had actually become the offensive strength on the court.

Thibodeau just took a fancy to his height and wingspan advantages. Camby can't reach the outside line, and it is difficult for the 76ers to block McGee.If Camby goes outside, Ye Feng will be much easier to play in the middle of the attack.

The 76ers also rushed inside, and Iguodala rushed into the inside and gave it to Brand.The basket was full of people, Brand gritted his teeth, jumped up and dunked with one hand, McGee defended, jumped faster than fleas, and slapped the ball down.Iguodala picked up the ball and rushed to the basket for a layup.Ye Feng followed up from behind again, covering the ball out of the baseline with one palm.

After 11 games, the Clippers' defense has become stronger and stronger. There is a faint shadow of the civilian Pistons back then. They learned to use defense instead of offense.

Two big hats were given to the two cores of the 76ers, which greatly boosted morale.Thaddeus Young threw a foul ball, and Miller handed it to Camby, who pulled up to the high position. Camby also used his height advantage to shoot. His shooting posture was also taught by aliens. He put the ball behind his head and pushed the ball. Going out, this way is not very good to block shots, but the hit rate is limited and the ball is wide.

Ye Feng stuck in his position, and shouted out the secret signal discussed before the match: "Forrest! Run" (Forrest Gump, run fast)

He judged the right direction, grabbed Iguodala and took the backcourt rebound, took a step to the side and threw it to the frontcourt with all his strength.As soon as he made the shot, he felt that the pass was powerful, and under the interference of Iguodala, he couldn't control his excitement.

McGee has already rushed into the three-point line. He looked up and watched the ball fly over his head. It was too high to catch. He followed the ball and turned his head, but heard a bang. He bounced over, and McGee took advantage of the opportunity to catch the basketball, dunked the ball with both hands vigorously, followed Ye Feng's example, grabbed the basket, swung his legs, and landed with a pull-up. 8 to 4.

There was a neat exclamation in the audience, and everyone was stunned.Whether it's a full-court pass or a rebound assist, it's never been seen before.

When McGee ran back, he saluted Ye Feng with his right hand.Ye Feng also responded to him with the same action, showing a confident smile, as if everything was under control, but in fact it was passed on.

The astonishment in McKee's heart was no less than that of Hua Tuo who healed Guan Gong's wounds.This can assist?The boss must have been the UCLA ace quarterback before!This is really a god!

After scoring this goal, the morale of the Clippers is even higher.Iguodala also wanted to return a dunk.He didn't study the video of the game carefully, and he didn't know how dangerous it was to dunk in the Clippers' penalty area.He relied on the cover to enter the penalty area, took the ball with one hand, and jumped to the basket.

Smith on the side, and Ye Feng behind him jumped up at the same time, and went to block Iguodala together.The referee didn't even see who blocked the ball, only saw the three collided in the air, poor Iguodala in the middle, fell from the air like the piece of beef in the KFC spicy beef burger ad ...
