The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 295 [Triangle Defense vs. Triangle Offense]

The Clippers' offensive routine is very clear, and the cooperation between the players has become very tacit in two years.

If the Lakers join defense and Gasol and Odom do not go inside, the Clippers will shoot three-pointers from the outside.

The task of playing the low post does not necessarily have to be completed by Ye Feng. As long as the position is misplaced, Love can also do well. Although he is not tall, his strength ranks at the forefront of the league. In the training camp of Dream 9, he also spent time practicing the low post. .

The Lakers have changed coaches, and they can't see any good changes from last season. They are still star singles, plus a few screens.It's easy for Ye Feng to mark Artest, as long as he can withstand it with strength.It was impossible for Atai's speed to pass him.As soon as he received the ball, Ye Feng was close to his body, making Artest unable to turn around.

The Lakers also want to cooperate, and they know that it is difficult to win the Clippers without cooperation.Odom screens for Fisher on the side, Gasol screens high, giving Bryant room to break through, and Fisher pulls back from the corner, looking for a three-pointer.

The Clippers adopted a zone defense, McGee was in charge of the high post, and Ye Feng was in the low post. In this way, even if Gasol pulls a high screen, there is no height advantage if he wants to shoot after the pick-and-roll. McGee will defend in front of him. When the screen breaks through to the inside, Ye Feng can immediately switch defenses to defend against pick-and-rolls.After the Clippers became a zone defense, they also saved a lot of energy on the outside line, only following their own team, leaving Ye Feng alone after the pick-and-roll.If the Lakers players go to the bottom line, the formation will switch from 32 zone defense to 23 zone defense as the Lakers move.

One thing that won't change is that Ye Feng defends pick-and-rolls. If the opponent doesn't play pick-and-rolls, he will wait for an opportunity to block shots in the low post.With the second unit, Smith's defensive responsibilities are exactly the same as his.

Five minutes into the first quarter, Kobe broke through with the ball, and Ye Feng followed up. After a step of defense, Kobe played a single with the ball behind his left side. After a while, Kobe then made a jump shot. Ye Feng landed without the slightest hesitation, and jumped up from the other side, blocking the ball with his left hand at an astonishingly fast speed.

His continuous jumping ability is outstanding in the league. It is not the first time that Kobe has been blocked like this. Pierce, Smith, LeBron, and Wade have all blocked him like this.After a shake, he is likely to choose a jumper.

The score was 11 to 6, with the Clippers leading by 5 points.After blocking the shot, Ye Feng picked up the basketball and passed it to Curry to launch a counterattack.

Curry made a fast break alone, and suddenly changed direction while running with the ball. Relying on his speed, he passed Fisher and entered the penalty area, making an easy layup. 13 to 6.

This is Curry's second goal in this game, all of which were scored by Fisher in singles.Thibodeau arranged Curry's singles tactics alone. If he faced Fisher, he didn't have to wait for the cover, he could break through, or shake out the space to shoot.Fisher is the defensive hole.

Mike Brown also felt that Fisher was too bad, so he was replaced by Blake.But Blake is also not a good defensive player.

Brown doesn't know Fisher's characteristics. His statistics are poor, but he can control the rhythm and distribute the ball reasonably to make the Lakers' offense smoother. Blake is new. He organizes the offense very easily. Kobe Bryant.

As soon as the Lakers players pulled away, Kobe immediately played singles, broke through from the right, and Wright followed Kobe to the inside.The ball was very tight, and Kobe saw a bad chance and passed the ball to Gasol in the high post.The latter took the ball and turned around and shook his face. McGee was stunned. He immediately dribbled the ball to the inside and resisted McGee with his body. Seeing the layup under the basket, Ye Feng came out from the side, When Sol took the third step, he also took off, earlier than Gasol.

At this time, if Gasol passes the ball, there will be space, but none of the teammates made a sound, not even a person to remind him, so this ball Gasol threw it, and Ye Feng shot it from behind like a dark cloud covering the sun. The ball is covered.

McGee picked up the basketball and passed it to Curry.This time Kobe returned to the defense in time, Curry passed to Wright who followed up on the other side, and the defender was replaced by Blake.

The Lakers can't change positions casually when defending fast breaks, because the Clippers players are too tall!Wright was misplaced again, with an obvious height advantage, and directly shot a three-pointer from the outside. Blake jumped up to interfere, and Wright was unmoved, and the ball was hit steadily! 16 to 6.

After a few rounds, the Clippers quietly extended the score to 10 points.

Brown saw the situation quickly, and all five players on the Clippers field scored, so he quickly requested a timeout.

Looking at the replay just now, Barkley said with a smile: "The Clippers didn't let Ye Feng play the main attack today, and Blake's playing can't make up for the weakness of the 1st position. After participating in Dream 9, Curry and Love have also improved. It's still hard for the Lakers to win today."

Smith said: "Curry is really likely to replace Kidd in the starting lineup this season. He has done a good job in the pick-and-roll offense. The Clippers have Ye Feng on the court. When it comes to receiving the ball at the top of the arc, even if Kidd is not on, the offense can be guaranteed. Love has also started to play low this season, which is rare before, and his physique does have an advantage. The Lakers lineup does not look weak, but they just can't beat the Clippers, which is really interesting."

After Curry and Love played on behalf of the Dream Team, their confidence has improved a lot, and they feel that they are already stars, and even if they are not now, they will be stars in the future.

Barkley said: "The Clippers players lacked fame before, but they are really not weak. If the second team leads Smith, Kidd, and Thornton, they can also compete with the main players of many teams. Yi Jianlian also came this year. I know when he will be able to play, and today he also entered the squad."

The one left out of the roster is Barnes, who isn't in great shape.There are plenty of talents in the swing position. Thibodeau wants to attack, and Wright is enough. He wants to see if Wright can really play a role.Wright did not let him down. He defended Kobe very hard and also scored a three-pointer.

If you have a chance, you have to make bold shots, not to mention that Wright has a height advantage. Thibodeau has always hoped that players can play more actively.

After Mike Brown called a timeout, he asked to strengthen the defense, Kobe went to guard Wright, and Blake dealt with Curry.If the Clippers pick and roll, Gasol and Odom must be fast to block the breakthrough route, while the other quickly withdraws to the inside and changes to 23 zone defense.

The Lakers can also play zone defense like the Celtics and Clippers, but those two teams retreated with Garnett and Ye Feng, Kobe or Artest retreated, and their ability to block shots was not strong enough. The low position can't exert much power.

If you can't defend, you must attack.Brown frowned and said, "When attacking, try to avoid Ye Feng's shots by passing the ball and covering. If he assists in the defense, the people next to him will call out to remind them."

The Lakers players listened very carefully, and there were only a few tactics to talk about. On the offensive end, Brown did not bring anything new to the Lakers. He just arranged for Kobe to create opportunities for singles. Kobe attracted double-teams to create opportunities for teammates. The inside players should be in the center to support, while leaving one person on the bottom line and side pick-and-roll.

This is the style of play of the Cavaliers, and it is a basic tactic that many teams have. The characteristic of this style of play is to fight for stars.If the star can't play well, everything is useless.

The Clippers' offense was varied. After consulting Ye Feng's opinion, Thibodeau decided to change his style of play. Ye Feng was also willing to reduce the number of shots and use more inside to control rebounds and defense.

In doing so, he looks a bit like a blue-collar, but the team plays better. He and McGee can switch positions at any time. A small triangle area, which can force opponents to have difficulty attacking the low post every time, and can only shoot from the outside.As long as the interference lowers the shooting rate and the opponent can't make a shot, the Clippers are guaranteed to rebound.

The Clippers used the "triangle defense" to prevent the Lakers' triangle offense.

This year, Thibodeau no longer needs to talk too much, and the players on the court are also very good at playing ordinary pick-and-roll dislocation tactics.McGee is 213cm, Love is 208cm, Ye Feng is 205cm, Wright is 206cm, Curry is 191cm, and the height advantage is obvious.

The coaching staff is also considering the introduction of point guards in the future, as well as looking for tall players who can shoot, and the advantages will be more obvious at that time.Before Kidd retires, there is no need to think too much about this issue.

The Clippers have played for two seasons, and what the players have grown the most is confidence. Playing as the defending champion has a completely different mentality.

The game restarted, and the Clippers continued to take the initiative.The Lakers stepped up their defense against others. After the dislocation, Kobe and Artest quickly returned to defense and prevented the Clippers from making a bottom line cut, which really worked.

But the offensive Odom was stupid and passed the ball directly to the referee, as if he wanted the referee to shoot a three-pointer. The referee couldn't dodge and was hit in the face. He almost ate the whistle with his mouth .The referee sullenly suspended the game, and his gums bled and felt uncomfortable for a while. The players also took this opportunity to go to the sidelines to drink and say a few words.

This shot will definitely be included in Odom's ridiculous collection, he seems to have to do something funny every season.

The Clippers attacked, McGee missed a jumper and the Lakers counterattacked, and Kobe made a basketball.

Seeing the Lakers start chasing points, Ye Feng shouted: "Let's fight, I'll do it."

The teammates immediately understood.

In the next round, Love pulled to the outside, McGee was in the high post, Wright received the ball at a 60-degree angle on the right, Curry ran to the bottom corner, and Ye Feng went to the low post on the right to ask for the ball.

Wright has a height advantage, and easily lobbed the ball in. Artest was the low-post defender. Ye Feng scooped the ball with his right hand, and immediately turned to the baseline, very fast.

Artest quickly followed up from the side. Ye Feng reached the basket with his left foot as the axis, took a step with his right foot, held the ball in his right hand and raised it high, and made a low-handed shot. Artest was shaken and jumped. When he got up, Ye Feng stopped abruptly, withdrew his hand, turned around in the opposite direction, and hit the hook with his left hand at close range.

The audience was stunned. Ye Feng usually hits the low post hard, turns around and dunks directly, or gets stuck and jumps on someone, looking for a counter shot.Now Ye Feng has chosen the floor moves that are not commonly used, playing with his footsteps to be "soft".

What he and "Ladder" Jackson learned came in handy.
