The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 29 [Roaring Hulk]

The Lakers replaced Kobe, Odom, Bynum, and Fisher, and the Celtics also replaced Perkins, Ray Allen, and Rondo.Only Ye Feng, a substitute player, remained on the field. Fisher walked up to Ye Feng and said, "You play the third position and keep an eye on Pierce."

Jackson was very satisfied with Ye Feng's blocking of Pierce. Although the defense was fouled this time, it was very deterrent, and the Celtics would not break through as they wished.The morale of the Lakers team was high, and the starting players were unwilling to see Ye Feng's performance, especially Kobe, who was gearing up to show off his might.

The Lakers had the ball, Fisher dribbled the ball for halftime, the Celtics also made adjustments, Pierce and Ye Feng faced each other.He felt uncomfortable seeing Ye Feng now, and vowed to guard against him.Ye Feng has already scored 8 points in a single quarter, and the Celtics need to prove the skill of the league's first defensive system.

The Lakers' high-post screener was replaced by Odom, Kobe's offense was not as sloppy as Farmar's, and Garnett focused on defense.

Jackson didn't ask Ye Feng for anything on the offensive end. He wanted Ye Feng to adjust himself. This is a major feature of him as a coach. Self-adjustment is easier for players to build confidence. When the game is particularly bad, he will correct mistakes. .

When Kobe and Odom came back, Ye Feng knew that he couldn't get a lot of shots, and he couldn't shoot three-pointers. Only the low post was left in the field. He had to go to the basket to cut and fight for offensive rebounds.

Kobe changed direction and dribbled the ball a certain distance away from Garnett, made an emergency stop and made a fadeaway jumper.Kobe's biggest feature is that he can often hit difficult shots against the defense. His jumper arc is also very flat. He just avoided Garnett's block, and he could hardly see the basket with his eyes, but the ball still went in. 28 to 38.

The commentator Maxwell immediately complained about Kobe's shooting and said with a smile: "This is a typical Kobe shooting. The arc is too flat. Fans and friends must not learn from it. After this ball, the Lakers caught up and were only 10 points behind."

Grande watched the game and said, "If it wasn't for Ye Feng's superb performance, maybe they are now behind by more than 20 points. He is unbelievable today. He is eyeing Pierce again. Look... this kind of defensive referee doesn't call fouls ?"

Ye Feng started body hair-level defense against Pierce. He seemed to be Pierce's shadow. He opened his arms and had physical contact with Pierce all the time. Rondo didn't dare to hand the ball to Pierce easily.

This attack was completed by Ray Allen. After receiving a pass from Rondo, he missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner and Bynum grabbed the rebound.

When returning to defense, Pierce asked, "Aren't you tired?"

Ye Feng responded: "If you're afraid that I'll be tired, why not do the dunk again!"

His words stung Pierce's nerves, Pierce felt that Ye Feng was a bastard, and he did have a few tricks.In the Celtics, there is also a person who likes to defend in this way, and that is Tony Allen, who was thrown off the court by Ye Feng with a basketball. This kind of defense consumes a lot of energy. amazing.

On the offensive end, Garnett just bypassed Odom to defend Kobe, and hit Ye Feng. Kobe used two pick-and-rolls to dribble the ball, and turned his back to Pierce at a 45-degree angle on the right.Both of them are 198cm tall, and they have single defense ability. It is much easier for Kobe to play Pierce than Garnett.

With such a dislocation, the Celtics' defense became chaotic.Ye Feng ran to the basket after the pick-and-roll, and Garnett hurriedly followed him. If Ye Feng made an air cut, he would dunk.The high position Odom was misplaced against Ray Allen, and the advantage was obvious.But Kobe didn't pass the ball. He used a difficult turnaround jumper from the baseline. Pierce missed it, but the shot missed.

Kobe's scoring ability can be ranked first in history, but there are still people who criticize him and hate him. Most of them say that he is too independent and not smart enough to play.With one-on-one opportunities, even if his teammates are in a better position, he will rarely pass the ball. He is too confident. This is an advantage and a disadvantage.

Garnett grabbed the rebound, and the strength of the three-time rebounding champion was not blown out.On the defensive end, Pierce also relied on the cover to throw off Ye Feng to catch the ball. The man defending him became Odom, and Pierce also shot hard.

The two sides started a defensive battle, or a blacksmithing battle. At this moment, Gan Jiang, Mo Xie, and Ou Zhizi possessed their souls, and the stadium became a blacksmith's shop.The only person who was happy was Bynum. Both Ye Feng and Odom put their energy on defense, and the task of protecting the basket was given to him.Facing the 208CM Perkins, he grabbed 7 defensive rebounds in half a quarter, and the number of halftime rebounds reached 11.

The score was 35 to 43, and the Celtics led by 8 points to end the first half.

Maxwell said in the halftime comment: "It is very common for the Celtics to limit the opponent's scoring to less than 20 points in a single quarter, but the Lakers also behaved like a defensive team today. Ye Feng played the entire quarter and scored 8 points. Points, 1 rebound and 1 block, he plays a key role on the defensive end."

Grande said: "His dunk left a deep impression on people, and the speed was too fast. Coach Jackson will definitely let him play more in the second half."

Maxwell said with a smile: "The protagonist of the second quarter is Ye Feng. With those few good defenses, he is already worth 44 yuan in annual salary, which is beyond his money. He has now feuded with the two giants. After playing, He and Garnett kept muttering, it must be trash talking, Garnett got a technical foul on him, he gave people the feeling of being fearless."

Grande sighed: "After his foul on Pierce, the Celtics were obviously not as determined as they were in the first quarter. I think Ye Feng's defense is very dangerous here. As long as he makes a move, he feels as if someone is going to attack him." It looks like it's injured. It's too fierce, no wonder it's nicknamed a hungry wolf."

During the break, Jackson praised Ye Feng's toughness.

Radmanovic's heart seemed to have overturned the five-flavored bottle. If Ye Feng played "hard", he was synonymous with "soft". The 208cm big man was always swaying outside.He didn't play after going 3 for 0 in the first quarter, and Ye Feng will take his place in the second half.Ye Feng's ferocity shocked him. Ye Feng was the number one rookie in the league who dared to spam trash talk with Garnett and even fight. He had a feeling that maybe Ye Feng would become a superstar in the future.

The second half of the game started, the players on both sides were different from the starting lineup at the beginning, Posey replaced Pierce, Ye Feng replaced Radmanovic, and the big screen in the stadium gave him a close-up, from near to far, and finally stopped at him On the wolf's head with blood-stained fangs on the right arm.

The Lakers attacked first, and the Celtics defended a 32-zone defense.Against this kind of formation, it is difficult to handle without a pitcher in the team. The breakthrough not only consumes energy, but is also easy to be double-teamed inside.This is a targeted defense against Ye Feng.

Today, under the rotation restrictions of the Celtics players, Kobe's shooting rate was very low. He only hit 14 goals in 5 shots, made 3 of 0 three-pointers, and scored 14 points by relying on free throws.But Bryant is still the main attack, he is looking for a pick-and-roll outside, Odom pulls to a high position, and Posey is the one who defends him.Posey's defense against Kobe after the switch can save Garnett's energy.Garnett guarded the basket against Ye Feng, and Rivers judged that the Lakers were all on the main force, and the possibility of attacking Ye Feng was zero.

Not being the main attacker doesn't mean it's useless. Ye Feng already has experience. As soon as Kobe found a cover, he immediately turned around and ran into the basket without the ball. He got into position early and blocked Garnett behind him.Sure enough, Kobe shot in the next second, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Ye Feng also accurately judged the location where he fell, but he couldn't jump up because his left arm was pulled from behind.Just as he paused, Garnett, who pulled him with a small movement, jumped up from behind and passed the ball to his teammate with one hand.

The referee held the whistle in his mouth, hesitated for a while, and still didn't whistle.

"Fuck! He pulled my arm from behind like this, and you don't want to blow it?" Ye Feng yelled at the referee on the way back.As soon as the voice fell, the whistle blew, and the referee called him a technical foul instead.

Before the start of the NBA regular season in the 2006-2007 season, a law enforcement policy introduced by the NBA was "zero tolerance".With this rule, players cannot talk back to the referee. If you say one more word and the voice is too loud, you may get a technical foul. Zero tolerance is like this, even if you are facing a black whistle!
The referee on the spot, Steve Javi, has been in law enforcement for 20 years and is a very famous referee in the NBA.The reason he is famous is that he hates Iverson. As long as he officiates Iverson's game, no matter how many times Iverson is knocked down, he will never get to the free throw line. At that time, Billy King, the general manager of the 76ers, almost knelt at the door of the league office. God bless Stern.Iverson was fined $25000 for yelling at Javi after the game.Now Jia Wei has his eyes on Ye Feng again.In this game, the three penalties related to Ye Feng all boasted that it was beneficial to the Celtics. Ye Feng tried his best to fight against Garnett and Pierce, but was repeatedly ruined by the referee. He wished to kick this hunchbacked bastard to death. !
Ray Allen made a technical free throw, 35 to 44.The Celtics still hold the ball.

Posey sent the ball from the sideline, and after receiving the ball, Rondo suddenly dribbled the ball through to Fisher. Without any fake action, he just slapped the ball forward hard and accelerated with all his strength.As if passing through Fisher, he staggered Fisher.Odom let go of Garnett's defense, and Rondo took the ball and ran the ball to Garnett in the middle.

Garnett made an air cut to the basket, and Ye Feng tried his best to defend, but he was too far away, so he could only take off from the side to block the shot. Garnett's long arms were fully extended, he avoided the shot in the air, and dunked the ball into the basket basket. 35 to 46.

The score increased to 11 points, and the roar of "Hulk" Garnett sounded again at the North Shore Garden Stadium!He even patted Ye Feng's head with his hand when retreating, but the referee also turned a blind eye to this insulting action.

When Bynum passed Ye Feng when he was serving the baseline, he was startled when he saw the look in his eyes.There were almost no pupils in his eyes, only the whites of the eyes, the hungry wolf was completely enraged!
