The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 241 [Catch Weaknesses, Fight Warcraft]

The way Ye Feng finds the weakness of "Warcraft" is to collect videos and study the games that the Magic lost and Howard played abnormally.

The name "Dwight Howard" has gradually become a symbol of the inside ruler. He is the trend representative of the world's future inside players, with amazing physical fitness and super athletic talent.If he's deep in the paint, teammates just need to hand him the ball or throw it over the rim, even double-teaming won't help.

This season, there is one person who has done a good job defending Howard alone. It is the blue-collar Jason Collins who has just transferred to the Eagles. The guy who is 213 cm is half a head shorter than Duncan.He averaged only 2 points and 2 rebounds per game. If the Hawks hadn't lost Smith, they might not have signed him.

Such a fringe man, but he performed very well in the game against the Magic. He defended Howard personally in the game, allowing "Warcraft" to make 16 of 5 shots in the game.In the matchup with Collins, Howard couldn't find the basket at all.

Collins has no extraordinary talent. He is a bit like Hayes, with strong strength and a steady foot. He is even known as the slowest player in the league.He plays very hard and will use his body to defend the inside line. He is a standard coolie blue collar. He was once hailed as "one of the best low-post defenders in the East".

How can the slow speed prevent Howard?Collins' method is to fight him in the low post as much as possible, and contact him as early as possible before he gets close to the basket. Now Ye Feng also adopts this method.

After stealing the ball, Kidd controlled the ball to the frontcourt, Ye Feng pulled to the outside, and Pietrus followed.He went low again, and Howard was on top.The Clippers easily tried out the Magic's defensive strategy.

Mixed defense, special person to mark Ye Feng, others zone defense, try to ensure that Howard does not stay inside.

This trick may not be easy to use. Although Pietrus is strong, he is only 198cm tall. Ye Feng wants the ball from a high position and singles Pietrus.McGee and Smith are in the low post, involving the Magic's interior defense.Stan Van Gundy immediately understood that the Clippers wanted to focus on Ye Feng.

It is difficult for Pietrus to defend against Ye Feng alone, they have already suffered a loss last season.

Ye Feng was not polite at all, he dribbled the ball to the right side, Howard defended against McGee, unable to get out, Tony Allen involved Carter's defense on the other side, and only point guard Nelson could help defend.There is not much difference between him assisting defense and not defending.Although this guy has been selected as an All-Star, it was a tactical instruction, and there are no good guards in the East. He is actually a cancer who is not good at defense and has average organizational skills.

Ye Feng approached the bottom line, dribbled the ball, then withdrew and turned to face the frame, dribbled the ball with his right hand and put a little distance between Pietrus and his left hand, and made an emergency stop to shoot a jump shot.The swingmen defending Ye Feng will be depressed about this, his pull is too high, unless he takes off first, he can't cover it.Taking off first will not only fail to cover, but will also be fouled.

Before the start of the game, Ye Feng first went to the arena to throw 100 balls to find his touch. He was in good condition and hit the ball. 4 to 0.

After scoring the goal, Barkley said: "Ye Feng is in good form today, and the Magic will be unlucky. When he scored high points last season, it was difficult for the opponent to beat the Clippers."

Smith said with a smile: "In the first quarter, the Clippers only had Kidd as a shooter on the perimeter, so they must work hard to defend. In the second quarter, it is also a question of whether the Magic's substitute can withstand the attack. The game has just begun, and the Clippers have already grasped the situation. Oh, they're aligned again..."

Howard and Ye Feng faced each other again, and Ye Feng used a close-fitting press to defend Howard in the way of defending a full-back.Howard is not a good back-to-the-basket attacker. He cannot turn around and shoot like Yao Ming. As long as it is difficult for him to turn around, his efficiency will be limited. This is the conclusion that Ye Feng came to.

Howard also knows his weakness. He can make a mid-range shot, but he must be close to the basket. The farther he is from the penalty area, the lower his shooting rate.He turned around and walked towards the bottom line, he chose to back hit, turned around towards the bottom line and hit the rebound with one hand to shoot, Ye Feng is also good at this skill, what he is good at, of course he knows how to disrupt the rhythm.

Howard turned around to shoot, Ye Feng jumped up to interfere with blocking his eyes, and accurately covered Howard's eyes with his hand, Howard's shot bounced out of the frame, and Kidd grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Lewis pulled McGee outside, and Pietrus also involved Smith's defense. Even so, the Clippers did not lack people to grab rebounds.The Magic returned to defense quickly, unable to play a fast break, and Kidd fell into positional battle again.

The Clippers pulled out inside to cover, Smith blocked Nelson, and Kidd broke through with the ball. .Kidd passed the ball to Ye Feng, and Ye Feng quickly passed the ball to McGee on the baseline.

Dislocation on the field, McGee singles Pietrus. 213CM vs. 198CM, how could McGee be polite, catch the ball and dribble to the middle, took two steps and then shot with a hook, Howard retreated to the inside at full speed, but McGee had already started, the hook is the most suitable offensive weapon for him, and Warcraft If the cover is not covered, the ball is scored again. 6 to 0.

The Magic was baffled in the opening game. Before the game, Van Gundy studied how to defend Curry and Love. Unexpectedly, the Clippers changed three players in one breath.Ye Feng continued to follow Howard, and said with a smile: "Come on, let's make another one. I won't cover you this time, so boldly vote."

Van Gundy arranged for Howard's main offense at the beginning. As long as he can attract double-teams on the offensive end and change the Clippers' defensive strategy, the Magic are likely to win.Carter and Lewis are not players who can attract double teams.This time Carter was so entangled by Tony Allen that he couldn't catch the ball.

Howard was in trouble.Ye Feng's defense has worked. This defensive method is what he hates the most. He resists him on the outside and then interferes with shooting. There are only two forwards in the league who can defend him well. Ye Feng and LeBron James .

To attack or not to attack?Not attacking is a sign of weakness, not attacking is even worse.Van Gundy arranged tactics, and his teammates still passed the ball to the low post.Howard dribbled the ball and wanted to turn to the bottom line, but Ye Feng defended it close to him. He knew very well that Howard turned to the middle. Even if he got rid of him, Smith and McGee could help block shots and force him to pass the ball.Howard would almost certainly have dunked if he had successfully turned from the baseline.

Howard didn't make the turn and went to the middle instead.Ye Feng lowered his center of gravity and continued to follow. Howard took a step back and turned around to shoot at 45 degrees. Ye Feng still used the defensive method of closing his eyes and did not block shots.

His hand was almost rising following Howard's face. This time, Howard missed the shot again.Kidd grabbed the backboard, and McGee and Smith went down quickly.Kidd passed to Smith, McGee strode into the basket, and unless Howard was really Superman, it was impossible to return to the basket immediately after a low shot, and the Magic's defense was empty.

Smith passed the ball into the basket, McGee caught the ball in the middle and turned to the right against Lewis, and made a beautiful one-handed dunk.It's like a hook move, but his arms are too long, and he just presses the ball into the basket. 8 to 0.

Stan Van Gundy yelled at the court, "Get the ball up, run the pick-and-roll."

He no longer had much confidence in Howard's singles against Ye Feng. He was blocked three times in the opening game, and it was single defense. This was by no means a coincidence.

Ye Feng took advantage of Howard's weakness, which was to make him unable to see the basket, to be precise, he could not see the square area in the middle of the basket.Howard likes to use swipe shots on both sides of the low post, especially the right side. Ye Feng also likes this trick. The most important thing about swipe shots is not the touch or shooting power, but to find the right swipe point.The eye-closing defense made Howard unable to see the wipe point, so he could only rely on his feeling that it would be better to give up the wipe at this time.Howard made two persistent shots to wipe the cricket, and the rhythm was destroyed.Many times, Ye Feng's hand feels abnormal, and he was also defended in this way. At that time, he would choose a high jumper, or hit the basket.

Kidd took the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Ye Feng, who was in the high position.Ye Feng raised the ball with one hand in his left hand, distanced himself from Pietrus behind him, protected the ball and turned his head to observe the situation. The high post was well supported, Howard still defended McGee in the low post, Lewis and Smith, and Carter defended Tony. . Allen, there is no good chance.

At this time, it is a test of the IQ of the players, and someone should stand up.

Kidd circled and ran towards Ye Feng, Ye Feng handed the ball to Kidd with one hand, he got out of the three-point line, Kidd dribbled the ball and broke through to the left, Pietrus didn't switch defenses, and continued to follow Ye Feng, Nelson chased Kidd from behind.

Kidd made an emergency stop and missed a jumper, but the opportunity has come out.Nelson's pursuit from behind was too slow, and there was no help on the inside.Howard took the backcourt rebound, and the Clippers quickly returned to defense.

"Jason, keep playing like this." Ye Feng shouted to Kidd.This play is simple and effective.

After watching this offense, Thibodeau was thinking on the sidelines, whether to let Curry play early in a while.After the pick-and-roll shot, Curry is much more accurate than Kidd.

The Magic started interspersed running, Howardella went to the outside to cover for Nelson, and Ye Feng switched defenses to block the breakthrough line in time.Nelson dribbled the ball under his crotch and turned towards the inside line. Ye Feng followed closely, half a step away from Nelson.Nelson was also blocked by him, and he didn't dare to shoot if he couldn't get rid of it.By this season, Ye Feng's defense has already become extremely deterrent.

Nelson passed to Carter, who set an off-ball screen with Lewis to get away from Allen.But McGee was on his way again.Mutombo coached McGee for a year, and he also improved in single defense. Mutombo has been slow since 2000, but he knows how to make the most of his own advantages to defend and block shots.

Carter took the ball to the middle, made a fadeaway jumper, and the shot quickly avoided the block and the ball went in. 8 to 2.This ball is not easy, there is no space, it depends on personal ability.

The Clippers' defense is too strong, and the Magic haven't been able to create an easy shot until now.

What about the Clippers?Ye Feng went to the high screen again, and Kidd broke through with the ball.Nelson was completely blocked by Ye Feng.Kidd continued to go left to the inside, and Pietrus had to switch defenses.

Ye Feng went outside after the block, and Kidd passed the ball back.After the misalignment, Ye Feng faced the 183cm Nelson without any hesitation.

brush!The top three points of the arc go into the net hollowly. 11 to 2.
