The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 272 [The First Finals]

Ye Feng still played in a unique way, went to the sidelines and kissed Ariel, causing the fans to scream.In fact, there is nothing new about it, people just love to boo.

During the warm-up, Ye Feng didn't feel very good when shooting the ball, and missed a few times.He participated in the finals for the first time, and it was impossible to say that he was not nervous at all.Once in the stadium and hearing the cheers of the fans, the pressure was even greater.Ye Feng's thoughts involuntarily went back to the day of Christmas. They lost to the Celtics at home in the Christmas game, and the fans were very disappointed.If they lose again today, the fans will be even more disappointed.

"No, I can't think about these bad things. The Clippers won't lose! Back then, the Eagles could beat the Celtics in three games and win all at home. Now the Clippers are much stronger than the Eagles at that time. What's scary?" Ye Feng encouraged himself in his heart.In this game, no matter who is defending, he has to figure out a way to score and defend the opponent.On the defensive end, his opponent is Ray Allen, which is an easier one to deal with.

Ye Feng felt nervous, and Curry and Thornton, who entered the finals in their rookie season, were of course even more nervous.Curry, who usually smiles, is a little stiff in his shooting movements, and Thornton is in a daze with a blank expression, as if stimulated, which is even more worrying.

Thibodeau expected this, so Curry will not be arranged to start.Against a veteran player like Ray Allen who has played for more than a dozen seasons, Curry will suffer a lot.Psychologically, the Celtics have the upper hand. Fortunately, the Clippers swept their opponents in three rounds, which also increased their confidence.

Ye Feng slapped Curry hard on the back, and said with a smile: "Stephen, don't be nervous, you can do it."

Curry nodded. "I know that in the second quarter, I will do a good job as a substitute to lead the team to grab points, and I won't hold back."

"It's good to have confidence."

He said he was not nervous, but in fact he could not adjust so quickly. There were several Clippers who lacked game experience.

The ratings of the first game of the finals exceeded last year.The center matchup between Yao Ming and Howard has its gimmicks, but it's not as attractive as it was this year.This time the stars are gathered, one is the old Big Three, and the other is the young, aggressive and rapidly rising Clippers.No matter who you support, there are many things to watch. No matter who wins the championship, the fans will not be disappointed.

The Celtics won the championship is the last glory of the veteran.The Big Three are one year older. If they don't win the championship this year, their chances in the future will become increasingly slim.Pierce's contract expires this season, and whether he will renew his contract is also a topic of concern.Discussing this is actually superfluous. Pierce has been with the Celtics from the very beginning. He is a symbol of Boston, even if Garnett is also an outsider.If he retires here, it will be more meaningful, and he will not go away to earn millions more in his annual salary.

The Clippers won the championship and made history.Wade once won the championship in the third season of his career and won the MVP of the finals. Ye Feng is younger than him.If the Clippers win, the MVP will definitely be his, no one doubts that.Ye Feng is only less than 22 years old this year, he still has a long way to go.

It's a pity that Ye Feng didn't have the chance to create the record of the youngest Finals MVP. That record was held by "Magic" Johnson, who was less than 21 years old that year.

In the TN*T commentary seat, Barkley came again.He said: "The first game is very critical. If the Clippers win at home, they will have a psychological advantage. If they lose, it will be very bad. Afterwards, the Celtics have three consecutive home games. Ye Feng still looks very calm. Like to put on a show, and come out in the same way as in the regular season."

Kenny Smith asked with a smile: "How was your mood when you played in the finals for the first time?"

"I was very excited. My thought at the time was that if I could beat Jordan, that season would be perfect, but unfortunately I couldn't do it." Barkley recalled the scene at the time and sighed: "If I could be better then, It would be nice for teammates to score more three-pointers."

In that finals, Barkley's performance was not inferior to Jordan, but he just didn't have a championship.

"If Ye Feng wins the championship for the first time in the final, then he is really a lucky guy." Reggie Miller, who was sitting next to Barkley, sighed, his tone a bit sour.Today TN*T sent three commentators. Miller was also suppressed by Jordan without a championship all his life. After Jordan retired, Malone and Stockton failed, and the Lakers developed again.He also played in the Finals once and was defeated by the Lakers.

On the ESPN side, four people were sent, Jeff Van Gundy, Joan Barry, Mark Jackson, and "Magic" Johnson.

Van Gundy previously predicted that the Celtics would enter the finals against the Clippers. Now that the two teams meet, he is very excited.From the beginning Van Gundy was not optimistic about the Cavaliers.He felt that if the Cavaliers passed, the finals would be boring.The Clippers restrained the Cavaliers too much.

Before the game, Van Gundy teased Mark Jackson and said with a smile: "Your brother occupies the seats of two people, and Barea is almost squeezed by him and merged with the water dispenser."

Mark Jackson, who serves as a commentator for ESPN, is an old star guard. He was born in 65 and is not the elder brother of "Ladder" Jackson.

Jackson said with a smile: "I know Troy. He even said hello to me before, saying that he has lost weight and his body is in better shape. It is no problem to play streetball again. After arriving in the Clippers, he also followed the team system. Training, the amount of training is a little bit smaller, probably thinking about the addiction of NBA players. He lacked this kind of systematic training before, and now it is said that he has lost 30 pounds, less than 400 pounds."

Joan Barry said with a smile: "It is already a miracle that he can play. And he is very good. The Clippers seem to like this kind of miracle-maker."

"Magic" Johnson said the least. He didn't know how to evaluate the Clippers. They eliminated the Lakers 4-0.Such a result made him feel sad for the Lakers.Originally the Lakers were the most likely team to compete for the championship, but because of Ye Feng's appearance, everything changed.

Celtics head coach Rivers also arranged tactics, which is the same as the Clippers in the regular season.Zone defense, defensive counterattack.He wasn't surprised to see the Clippers' lineup, a possibility he'd anticipated.

The starters from both sides stood on the court. Garnett stared at Ye Feng and said coldly, "Why are you playing outside? Don't dare to play against me?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "You are about to retire, how dare I bully you, let McGee play with you, he has long arms, be careful not to be blocked."

Garnett gritted his teeth and stared at McGee next to him. "Defend against me, are you worthy?"

Garnett wanted to put some pressure on the rookie, but McGee didn't care at all, and responded with a smile: "I haven't covered you yet, you can stare at me like this after I finish covering you."

"..." Garnett was speechless.

The young man with the best mentality in the Clippers is McGee.This guy has a simple mind, he only plays basketball when he goes on the court, and he rarely thinks about other things. At most, he thinks about how to dunk the dunk when he has a chance to dunk. Other than that, he relies on conditioned reflexes. He is a guy like Hanamichi Sakuragi in the comics.This is also an important reason why Thibodeau sent him to start. He dares to fight hard and will not perform abnormally.

With the attention of hundreds of millions of fans, the game began.

McGee won the jump ball again, and Garnett's bounce speed can no longer be compared with when he was young.After the ball was dialed out, the Celtics quickly returned to defense, and the Clippers fell into a positional battle.

Rondo went to Kidd's side, waiting for an opportunity to steal.Kidd is very stable in protecting the ball and moves very slowly, but he can always rely on his body to control the ball within his own range.

The opening game was to fight Ye Feng.The Celtics didn't dare to let Ray Allen guard him, Pierce came up, and Ray Allen went to follow Smith.

"I want to prove that I am more qualified to be the MVP than LeBron. Today is a test." Ye Feng thought.In the Eastern Conference Finals, LeBron and Pierce had the upper hand.

He pulled to the perimeter for the ball.Kidd passed the ball to him and headed for the right corner. At the same time, Love pulled to the right three-point line, and Garnett followed.

Garnett came out to defend the pick-and-roll, and Perkins was not very good at defending the pick-and-roll, dealing with McGee inside.

Love is not in charge of the pick-and-roll, he just evacuates the inside.Smith covered Ye Feng in the middle. Ye Feng dribbled the ball in a high position with his back, got rid of Pierce, and faced Ray Allen in a dislocation.

This is the situation that Rivers is most afraid of. Thibodeau has also thought of the possibility he thought of. The two have worked together for a year and know each other well.Lei Allen had no choice but to switch to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng entered the restricted area from the right, leaned against Ray Allen with his back, dribbled the ball to the inside, easily squeezed a step into the restricted area, and turned to the middle.At the same time, Smith pulled out the outside line, keeping Pierce away from Ye Feng and creating singles opportunities for him.

Ye Feng turned to the middle, Ray Allen was hit and lost his position, his turn was slow, Ye Feng took a step towards the basket, Perkins quickly defended and jumped up to block the shot.

Ye Feng took the ball and shrank in the air, instead of forcing it, he used the tricks he practiced while jumping on the trampoline, and sent the ball out.Make moves in the air, look for gaps, not necessarily shoot, find gaps to pass the ball will be more sure.With that kind of practice, his ability to attract assists after the defense also improved.

He turned around in the air, leaned on Perkins, backhanded his right hand around the opponent's body, and gently sent the ball to the basket.McGee had already been instructed by Thibodeau before going on the court. He was very focused, received the ball steadily, jumped up and dunked with both hands in one step! 2 to 0.

Ray Allen was at a disadvantage against Ye Feng's height, and it was even more impossible for Gai McGee. The Clippers gave the Celtics a big blow at the beginning.

Rivers frowned. It would be troublesome if the Clippers played like this every time. The Celtics could only change their formation and defend first in the next round.The Celtics attacked, and Ye Feng followed Ray Allen from the outside.Rondo drove the ball upfield and passed it to Pierce, who passed it to Garnett, who singled McGee in the low post.

Both are very thin, but Garnett's strength is not bad, and the confrontation is dominant.He dribbled the ball and leaned on McGee to hit the inside with his back.McGee pushed hard and didn't retreat too fast. Garnett turned to the middle and made a trick, stepping back and shooting a jumper.

McGee turned around too slowly and couldn't cover it, Garnett fought back and scored the ball! 2 to 2.
