The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 128 [The inside line is urgent, Lord Hai saves you! 】

Ye Feng once saw such a survey in a book, saying that 90% of women have fantasized about being held down by a man they like forcibly or sneaking a kiss, and they think it is more romantic.Ariel was obviously one of the 10%, and sprayed his cake face with the canned cream.

When the uncle chef saw this scene, he thought the two were just joking around and didn't say anything.Ariel was a little angry, but during the meal, she finally didn't quarrel with Ye Feng and forgave him.Ye Feng has gained experience again, some people cannot be forced.He wants to treat her like a fruit tree, and spring will not be far away, waiting for it to bloom and bear fruit.As long as the tree doesn't bear ginseng fruit...

Just after Thanksgiving, he brought a bouquet of flowers and went to the cemetery to pay homage to Ye Feng's parents, feeling a little more at ease.

The Clippers lost again.

On the 28th, they played an away game against the powerful Denver Nuggets and lost the game 97 to 109.

After Chauncey Billups joined the Nuggets, his personal scoring data has improved, and his role on the defensive end has become more obvious. Carmelo Anthony has also returned and scored a game-high 34 points in this campaign.

Losing is not the worst thing, what is worse is that another player is injured.Before Barnes returned, Tony Allen went down again, and Allen landed on Nene's foot while trying to grab an offensive rebound in the first quarter.He jumped high, with great momentum, and twisted harder than others, so he couldn't move on the spot.

After inspection, he was in the same condition as Monta Ellis, and had to rest for three months.Tony Allen was very disappointed with this result. He averaged 19.4 minutes per game, scoring 7.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals.He has to fight against the opponent's main outside scorer every game and is an important substitute for the Clippers.

Even more unfortunate is that the person Tony Allen stepped on was Nene.Some media turned this into a joke. "Brother Clippers stepped on a gold nugget and got injured. It's extremely painful." That's right, that's also Nene's nickname.Last season, Nene found a testicular tumor in his physical examination and was immediately hospitalized for surgery to remove the tumor. Fortunately, there was no cancer.

Many fans think this is a joke, and the people in the Clippers uniform team can't laugh at it.They now feel that they should find two more players in the free market to make up a 15-man lineup. Now when they encounter injuries, the rotation lineup will be tight.

On the 30th, the Clippers lost another away game to the Miami Heat.The score was 87 to 93.

The Clippers lacked two experienced defensive players on the perimeter. When Ye Feng and Smith left the court, the rookies' defense was prone to problems, especially the defense on the perimeter.Anthony Morrow got the chance to play, and he became the target of the opponent's key attack.Thibodeau has tried the double point guard style of play, and he can't defend against the impact of Wade and Mayo. Now the Heat have two Flashes.

OJ. Mayo scored 27 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in this campaign.He made 9 of 6 three-pointers.This season, he averaged 18 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.2 steals per game, leading the rookie list, and his performance was better than Rose, Westbrook, and Beasley. outside.He played well in his rookie season, and Mayo gave Wade a lot of scoring pressure.The Heat are currently ranked 7th in the Eastern Conference and are very hopeful to return to the playoffs.

There was a loophole in the Clippers' lineup, and the opponents they encountered also knew to use this weakness to attack.

On December 12, the Clippers didn't want to continue their losing streak and played away against the Dallas Mavericks.

Barnes finally made his comeback. Ye Feng's touch was very good. He scored 22 points in the first half and the Clippers took a 13-point lead.But with 3 minutes and 17 seconds left in the third quarter, there was a turning point on the court. Someone from the Clippers was injured again, and it was second-in-command Josh Smith. He was knocked down during a breakthrough and sprained his left ankle.

Smith was injured, which had a great impact on the Clippers' defensive system.If you want to ensure the quality of the pick-and-roll switch, only Ye Feng can play the 4th position.With McGee at power forward, there is nothing he can do about Nowitzki.

As a result, Nowitzki found his hand in the fourth quarter and hit several mid-range shots in a row to chase the score. Before the end, Kidd blocked the opportunity through the screen. McGee missed the defense in time, and Kidd hit a key three-pointer. , which sent the game into overtime.Ye Feng played for 45 minutes and fouled out 6 times in overtime. The Clippers completely lost hope of a comeback. The Mavericks lost 102 to 109.Ye Feng scored 38 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, all of which were useless.

After inspection, Josh Smith will be recuperating for at least 4 weeks, and the next month will be a very severe test for the Clippers.In the West, if you lose one more game, you may be surpassed by your opponent in the standings.Smith will miss about 12 games. If the Clippers cannot guarantee a certain winning percentage, it will become very difficult to enter the playoffs.Ye Feng didn't know what to say to the reporters. He only hoped that Smith could recover as soon as possible and get involved in the competition.

After this game, there are only 11 players left in the Clippers' rotation. Excluding Mutombo, there are actually only 10 players, three of whom are insiders, and all of them are rookies.At the power forward position, no one rotates, and only one of Barnes and Ye Feng can be on top.

That night, the Clippers flew from Dallas to Houston to play back-to-back against the strong Rockets.

McGrady is currently in a sluggish state, averaging only 15.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.2 steals per game. All statistics have declined compared to last season, but he can still play at least.

The Clippers have two generals injured for more than a month, casting a shadow on their way to the playoffs.Losing two important defenders, the Clippers could only use Love and McGee as their starting partners. Unfortunately, they were blown up by the Rockets' powerful insiders. Not only Yao Ming and Scola, but Krstic, Landry, "Bird" "Man" Anderson also played well.However, Ye Feng had to score points under the heavy care of Battier and Artest. How could he possibly win?

81比106惨败25分。火箭报了客场失利的仇。叶锋只得到18分10篮板2助攻，25投只有7中，狂打18铁。

Originally, the Clippers had weaknesses on the inside. After losing two swingmen, it was difficult for them to stop their opponents on the outside.Ye Feng invested too much energy in defense, which affected his physical strength, and his offensive shooting percentage also dropped significantly.Morrow and Barea finally got the chance to play. Their defense is really bad. They can score, but those points have little to do with the outcome.

Ye Feng was too tired from playing, he began to understand how difficult it is for one person to support the whole team.

The importance of Josh Smith is beyond doubt.Not only is it reflected in the role of the Clippers, but the record of the Eagles now speaks for itself.Last season, the Eagles ranked fourth in the league in defensive points allowed, and ranked fifth in the opponent's field goal percentage. This season, they allowed nearly 100 points, and their offense was not as smooth as last season, let alone wonderful lob dunks.Now the Eagles record is only 6 wins and 12 losses, ranking 12th in the Eastern Conference, far away from the playoffs.

When experts mention the Clippers, apart from saying that they are unlucky and their players are injured, they often mention that the players lack stability in performance. When they are good, they can get double-doubles. Count the number of fouls.They were talking about McGee and Gortat, both of whom were already scared by the referee.

It is good to learn from Ma Hong. The inside players have become very aggressive in playing, but this fierceness has also attracted the disgust of the referees.David Stern will do anything to encourage offense.The two insiders of the Clippers moved too much and were targeted by the referee.Mahon's argument may be correct, but it is much more difficult for a rookie with little experience to implement it.

From six consecutive victories to five consecutive losses, Ye Feng seemed like a lifetime away.When he was in the Grizzlies, Rudy Gay was around to help him, but now he is alone.At the end of every game, teammates would put the ball in his hands and let him shoot.This is the arrangement of the coach and the trust of the teammates.But opponents also know that he can shoot, and they tightly double-team him, and various defensive methods emerge in endlessly.In this case, it is difficult for him to guarantee offensive efficiency.

In five games, Ye Feng averaged 26 points per game, but he didn't bring the team a victory.He feels a lot like Kobe Bryant in 2005. He trusted his teammates, and his teammates returned his trust with a blacksmith. This is just too depressing.

In the game against the Mavericks, Mutombo played for 10 minutes because of too many fouls by inside players.The Clippers are going to be doomed at this rate.

After discussing with Ariel, Ye Feng suggested to quickly trade someone to strengthen the inside line. That person is Chuck Hayes of the Rockets.

In the Clippers game against the Rockets, Chuck Hayes had zero playing time. He has not played in many consecutive games, because with "Birdman" and Krstic, the Rockets don't need him anymore.Compared with Hayes, who is 198cm tall and is still floor-flowing, Adelman prefers to let "Birdman" be the third substitute inside, playing for 10 minutes per game.In addition, the Rockets also have Joey Dorsey, known as the second generation of Ben Wallace, who is now playing in the Development League and will be recalled at any time.They went from lack of insiders to overcrowding.Hayes has the worst physical fitness and has become a pure drinking fountain administrator.

Thibodeau also agrees with Ye Feng's suggestion. He coached Hayes in the 2006-2007 season, and he knows that this floor player is good except that he can't attack, and he can adapt to his tactical arrangement.

After the game against the Rockets, Elgin Baylor immediately contacted Morey and offered to trade Hayes with the Clippers' second-round pick next season.The inside line was too crowded, and Morey also wanted to clean up some junk contracts inside. Hayes was the first to bear the brunt and agreed immediately.

Hayes left by plane to Los Angeles for a medical examination, without much surprise, he will be able to play in three days.Ye Feng didn't want to have teammates on the floor, but he couldn't care less about it during the extraordinary times.Although he is short, he can't shoot, and his free throw posture makes him want to be slapped, but he has strength, can resist people, and can grab rebounds. He is a good blue-collar.It's better to use Hayes than let Dikembe Mutombo top the inside.

In this way, the Clippers ushered in the team's 14th man.
