The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 131 [Evenly Matched]

Seeing that Nelson was blocked, Turkoglu felt that fortunately I didn't make a strong shot just now.

The Clippers attacked from the ground, and Ye Feng still singled Lewis in the low post. The same player, the same movement, even the same shot point, turned around and shot a basketball and scored again, 4-0.

Ye Feng used strength and jumping to bully the Magic's Mr. Billion to his heart's content.Van Gundy shook his head angrily on the court.The management spent 2000 million to buy such a waste and came back. 18 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists seem to be okay, but in fact it all depends on shooting, and the shooting percentage is only 44%.In the low position, he and Ye Feng were not at the same level at all. Their identities were reversed. It looked like Ye Feng was an old star, bullying the newcomer Lewis to his heart's content.

On the offensive end, Nelson used the pick-and-roll to go inside again. Ye Feng switched defenses again. He didn't dare to shoot. Off the backboard.

On the defensive end, when Ye Feng received the ball from the low post, Howard stepped up, Ye Feng immediately handed the ball to Barnes, Barnes handed it to the high post Gortat, who then lobbed it to the low post on the right. blessing.

Love and Lewis formed a matchup again. The size gap between the two was too large. Love squeezed Lewis twice and hit a hook in the middle. 6 to 0.He doesn't have many low-post methods, and this one move is enough to deal with Lewis.

The man with the highest salary on the team is the main target of the opponent's attack. This is the Magic.Lewis and "Gentlemen's Sword" Ray Allen have cooperated together for a long time, and they are also a gentleman.His basketball credo is "I don't touch you, and you don't touch me", and he doesn't want to confront others.Although he is 208cm tall, he has no ability to play a power forward at all, at least not at all on the defensive end.The Magic make it difficult for him to play power forward. Lewis' footwork and athletic ability can only be regarded as mediocre. The [-]th position can generally beat him. The defensive [-]rd position is not bad. .Yes, he is such a defensive black hole.

Turkoglu was entangled by Ye Feng on the outside, so he still had to hand it over to Nelson. This time Nelson broke through and handed it over to Howard. Howard quickly turned around and overwhelmed Love with a jumper and finally hit the first goal, 6-2.

Le Fu often singles out Ye Feng, but he still can't help when he meets someone with particularly strong explosive power.

When defending, the Magic changed to let Turkoglu defend Ye Feng in the low post.Substitution, Ye Feng still chooses to play low post, high post jumper, Courtney Lee is also very hard on defense, it is very difficult to catch the ball in high post.This time he chose the right side, and both Gortat and Love pulled out, one on the high post and one on the weak side.Howard defended against Gortat, and Love handed it over to Lewis.

Howard knew that Gortat could shoot jumpers from the high post, so he had to defend, and the inside line was completely empty.

Ye Feng hit Turkoglu with his back in the low post and pushed hard inside. It's not that Europeans are physically weaker than blacks. Turkoglu is stronger than Lewis, but against Ye Feng, he is still at a disadvantage.After resisting for a few times, Ye Feng jumped into the middle with the ball in his right hand, took the ball and pulled it out, and made a frontal one-handed shot! 8 to 2.

Just such a move, if it is not a strong and tall insider, it will be difficult to defend.Ye Feng is very good at using his body and jumping to overwhelm opponents in the low post, and throwing the ball into the basket with a slam dunk posture. This is O'Neal's offensive method and it is difficult to block shots.At the shooting guard position, Ye Feng's advantage is comparable to that of O'Neal. Most of the players at the 2nd position are 1.9 meters tall, and no one can compete with him, even the well-known Turkoglu.

Big Van Gundy has started to have a headache.

The Magic interspersed with running positions, Turkoglu made a high screen, Nelson broke through and passed to Courtney Lee, and Lee returned to Turkoglu, the baseline Howard gave Lewis an off-ball screen, allowing him to intersperse to the other corner, Love Can only follow the defense, relying on the outside line to continuously cover the running position, the Magic pulled out the space, Lewis made a jumper from outside the three-point line, Love missed the block, and the ball scored! 8 to 5.

When Ye Feng was in the low post again, Howard came up on defense, and the core of the two teams faced off.Magic also knew that others couldn't guard against Ye Feng.Ye Feng couldn't resist Howard's body. He tried a few times with his back, but he couldn't get away from Howard when he walked the baseline and in the middle, and he could easily be blocked when he forced a shot. He didn't want to look for a cap, so he passed the ball again.

Seeing that the attack time was approaching, Barnes missed a three-pointer with a jumper.Howard rebounds from the backcourt.

Magic Nelson broke through and returned the ball to the high post, Turkoglu missed a jumper, and Love grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Ye Feng pulled to the perimeter again, Howard would not follow, but once Ye Feng relied on the pick-and-roll, Howard would switch defenses.This time he passed the ball up to Gortat, who missed a jumper.The two sides began to fight defensively.

Howard is so fast that it's hard to imagine him as an inside player.There are only a few big men in the league who can move like this, and Stoudemire is one, but the bully is not good at defense and is easy to eat and shake, while Howard is good at both inside and outside the defensive end.

This season, Howard has indeed taken a solid step towards the NBA's No. [-] center, mainly due to the improvement of the defensive end under the guidance of the legendary center Ewing.

Up to now, many Chinese fans still say that Howard is overrated and Yao Ming is the number one center forward.Looking at the offense alone, Howard does have shortcomings, but the value is not only reflected in the score.There are many great defense-oriented centers in history. Needless to say Russell, there is also Unseld, a 2-meter-tall strong center who averaged 10 points and 14 rebounds per game in his career, relying on solid block rebounds and defense Consciousness won the MVP in his rookie season.Who dares to say that he is not great?Without gorgeous offensive skills, you are the boss of the team but help the team do the dirty work. Without brilliant scoring data, using your own rebounds and defense to lead the team to the finals, this is greatness.

Russell faced Chamberlain in his career and was blown up horribly from the statistics alone.Does it mean that Russell is overrated, regardless of his scoring percentage or rebounding?He completely beat Chamberlain in the number of championship rings.

If you ask 30 managers in the league to do a survey, Yao Ming and Howard will choose one of the two, regardless of the Chinese market, they will definitely want Howard.Howard has a solid body, a good mentality, and a strong defensive pillar.Needless to say, assisting defense, single defense can also make the top ten in the league.

The two sides fought several times, but Ye Feng did not blindly attack.However, Love and Gortat are not very efficient in singles inside. Although they are tall, the low position is not their strong point.

Nelson relied on screens to break through twice in a row and returned the ball to the high post. Turkoglu misplaced Lowry and made a mid-range shot. 8 to 9, the Magic overtook the score.

Lowry got a big cap from Howard when he made a layup on the inside. The Magic counterattacked and Nelson made a layup, 8 to 11.

The Clippers didn't score for more than two minutes, Ye Feng was in a hurry.At this time, morale must be raised, and we can no longer be lifeless.He caught the ball in two steps outside the three-second zone, and singled Howard face-to-face again. If his teammates didn't score, he could only attack.

He stepped forward with his left foot, looked to the left, his shoulders swayed, and the dribble paused slightly. Howard followed Ye Feng and moved a small step to his right.

Howard was very fast, he caught up with Ye Feng in one step and blocked the basket.Ye Feng took the ball with both hands, stopped suddenly, bent his knees and jumped up with all his strength, Howard immediately jumped up to block the shot.

Ye Feng withdrew his hands in the air, took the ball and spun around, avoided Howard's block, changed to holding the ball with his right hand, and smashed the ball into the basket hard! 10 to 11.

All the fans stood up and applauded. Ye Feng made a one-handed windmill on the spot. Ye Feng also dunked Garnett in the same way last season.After landing, Howard was very depressed, thinking that it seemed that he should be kept away from the inside line completely, otherwise he would have to foul.

The Clippers still let Love defend Howard one-on-one.The most important part of Jordan's rules back then was to always let one person fight Jordan one-on-one. Even if Jordan scored more points, the Pistons could still win.In this way, they ravaged Jordan for three seasons.This method can also be applied to other stars. Defense against Howard's offense alone is not as threatening as Jordan.

After receiving the ball, Howard dribbled inside, and made a sound with Love's muscles, turned around to the middle and made a one-handed shot. 10 to 13.

Ye Feng knew that there was no advantage in playing Howard with his back, so he changed to attack with the ball face-up. After facing Howard in the low post, he retreated to the outside to pull.

After being passed once just now, Howard hesitated while defending.Now the Clippers' two inside lines are pulled to the outside, which is equivalent to giving up the inside line, and only Barnes cuts into the inside line.If Howard defends out, the inside line will lose its defensive barrier. With his hesitation, Ye Feng made a jump shot at a 45-degree angle and hit the board.He has become more and more proficient in shooting from both sides, especially on the right side, and his shooting percentage has exceeded the high position.

Howard sighed inwardly, it seemed that he could only defend and not allow Ye Feng to easily get a shot.

Ye Feng is undoubtedly the most troublesome figure in Magic.In the next few rounds, he attracted Howard to defend and then pulled the outside to shoot or score the ball. Howard went inside and the Magic had a free basket. Gortat took the ball into the penalty area twice and staged dunks .

And Howard also began to respond to the pass. He is not a person who uses strong offense to solve problems in every game. Many teams can't defend and send him to the free throw line.Therefore, he often does not attack too much in the first half, but tries his best to let his teammates shoot, strive for the touch of the shot, grab rebounds in the interior, and is willing to be the core of the blue-collar team. It is not easy, but he understands that the combination of inside and outside can win ball.

The Magic's offense is not bad. There are so many shooters in the team. The offense is not to stand dead in one position, but to keep interspersed with running.The Clippers have a strong ability to defend against breakthroughs from the outside, but Lowry's height is always a flaw. After switching defenses, it is difficult to defend against Lewis or Turkoglu.The Magic caught him on this offense today.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides were evenly matched and tied at 26.Ye Feng scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. Without Smith, as long as the tactics are proper, the Clippers still have the strength to compete with strong teams.
