The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 299 [The End of No Insiders]

If you say that Ye Feng doesn't want to be the scoring champion, it must be a lie.He has a strong desire to score and regards defense and rebounding as his top priority because there are several scorers in the team. As long as the tactics are proper, Curry and Thornton may also score 30+, and Smith, he also wants to share Some shots right.Love does not attack with the ball and has always been selfless. He also has more than 10 shots per game.

In this game, Thibodeau arranged for him to be the main attacker, and he will definitely score points on the "weak team".The Nuggets had 2 wins and 2 losses in the previous game, and lost two important insiders, so they can now be classified as a weak team.

Kenyon Martin's defense can at least interfere with him, like Sheldon Williams and his like, he just doesn't see it.In the finals, the Celtics did not dare to replace Williams.

Last season against the Nuggets, Ye Feng completed a quadruple-double, and this time he is also confident of hitting good numbers.

The game was broadcast live on ESPN across the United States, and Jeff Van Gundy and Joan Barry were responsible for the commentary.

Ye Feng didn't hear too many boos when he played. On the contrary, there were still some supporters in the stands. Supporters appeared in the away games, which shows how popular he is now.

Van Gundy checked the information on the computer, and said with a smile, "It's hard to get tickets for the Nuggets game today. There is an interesting statistic. At the beginning of this season, the Clippers not only have a full home attendance, but also stimulate the box office when they play away games. , the fans all want to watch the home team play against the Clippers, if they win, they will be upset, if they lose, it would be nice to see Ye Feng and the Clippers perform.”

Joan Barry said: "It is very difficult for the Nuggets to compete with the Clippers in this game. Martin, who defends Ye Feng better, can't play today, and Nene is also injured. Martin is often injured, which has left a lot of pain for the Nuggets fans. Memories. After this season, his big contract will finally expire, and I think the Nuggets will definitely not keep him.”

Van Gundy said: "Afflalo was a major achievement for the Nuggets last season. He was very active defensively and could also make three-pointers. This season, his playing time has increased and he has performed outstandingly. He should be a good choice for the Nuggets when he renews his contract. top priority."

Joanbari said with a smile: "No one can compare with the Clippers when it comes to picking up treasures. Thornton started today, and he has a very strong offensive power."

The starters sent by the Nuggets are the same as the Clippers predicted before the game, Melvin Eli, Sheldon Williams, Carmelo Anthony, Aaron Afflalo, Chauncey Beluw puss.

Van Gundy said: "The main problem for the Nuggets this time is defense. Ye Feng plays the 4th position and is likely to be the main attacker today. The other three are Love, Wright, and Kidd. This is Wright's second start. Last season He didn't play in the playoffs, but he was reused this season, which is strange."

The players stood together very quietly, only Billups and Kidd said hello.

This time, Ye Feng stood in the center arc and jumped the ball with Sheldon Williams. The Nuggets also didn't have jump ball masters. Ye Feng had better explosive power and pulled the ball down.

The Clippers had the ball, Kidd dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Love pulled out to cover without the ball, the Clippers began to attack according to the pre-game arrangement, Ye Feng went to the low post, Kidd dribbled the ball to the right, and put The ball goes in.

Williams defends Ye Feng. His height is only 206cm, which is about the same as Ye Feng. He has a strong physique and strong explosive power. He is a player who relies on defense to gain a foothold in the league.

Ye Feng took the ball and withdrew to face the frame. He dribbled the ball twice in a row and retreated to distance himself from Williams, pausing slightly.His jump shot had to be defended, Williams took a step outside, Ye Feng immediately handed over the ball with his right hand to his left hand to change direction, and entered the penalty area from the middle.Williams turned around to follow, Ye Feng dribbled the ball under his crotch again and changed direction, at the same time he pulled the ball up and jumped to the basket.

As soon as Williams caught up, he forcibly turned to the other side. He couldn't twist his body, lost his balance and fell to the ground. Ye Feng easily scored with one hand. 2 to 0.

Ye Feng used his skills to prove one thing in the first ball, only a guy with strength and good at defending low positions cannot defend him.

Williams was so embarrassed that he could only stand up and deliver the baseline ball.

The Nuggets attack, Anthony catches the ball on the perimeter, and the fans in the audience don't cheer much, which is completely different from the situation in previous seasons.Anthony wanted to transfer in the summer and lost some popularity with the Nuggets.The fans also know that it is difficult to keep him, and he has not brought anything to Denver in the past few seasons. The team honor and personal honor are zero.

Anthony singled Wright, took the ball to the inside, squeezed his back, turned around and shot a jumper.Although Wright's defense was mediocre, it worked this time. He didn't suffer from his height and wingspan. He raised his hand to interfere, and Anthony missed the ball.

Ye Feng and Love blocked the position together and blocked the opponent outside, and Love took the backcourt rebound.The Nuggets players hurried back to defense, but Love saw no chance, so he passed to Kidd again to attack in position.

Van Gundy said: "The Nuggets are not easy to play in this game, usually the team will use the pick-and-roll tactics to attack, but the Nuggets play very simple, leaving it to Anthony in singles, and Ye Feng averaged 2 blocks per game this season. Last time I blocked the Nuggets 10 shots, I'm afraid they were all scared."

Qiongbali said: "The Nuggets return to defense quickly, and they are also afraid of the Clippers' fast break."

Van Gundy said: "I think the Clippers may not fast break, play positional warfare, and have an advantage today."

This time, Ye Feng pulled to the top of the arc to catch the ball.George Karl was worried about Ye Feng's back attack, so he let Williams play instead of Al Harrington, who was very good at attacking.

But Ye Feng didn't just attack with his back.As soon as he got to the top of the arc, the Nuggets were in trouble, and they knew the Clippers were going to be out of position.

The Nuggets changed to a 32-zone defense. Anthony defended Ye Feng on the outside, Wright reached the bottom corner, and Thornton reached 60 degrees. In order to limit Thornton's height advantage, Williams defended from the basket.

Love pulled it out again. This was an unscrupulous evacuation of the inside line. All five members of the Clippers went out to form a circle. This is one of the circular tactics that Ye Feng thought of, playing like a football basketball.

Ye Feng ran sideways, Love went to the outside to block Anthony, and Kidd on the left immediately passed the ball to Ye Feng.Ye Feng made a breakthrough with the ball, misplaced and faced the veteran Eli, passed his opponent with an acceleration, went to the basket, and scored with a one-handed dunk. 4 to 0.

If they keep playing like this, the Nuggets will have to go crazy. This tactic is rare and almost abnormal, but it must be defended. Everyone on the Clippers field can shoot three-pointers.

Nuggets offense.Anthony singles Wright with the ball, Efflalo uses an off-ball screen to cut away from the baseline, throws off Thornton, and Love defends him. He has increased his speed this season, so he is not so afraid of the opponent's bottom line. .Ye Feng carried Williams in the low post to protect the basket.

Out of the low post, Williams has no offensive ability, he can't evacuate the inside, and the veteran Eli is also very poor offensively, so the Clippers use man-to-man and change positions at any time. .

Anthony dribbled the ball a few times, Williams screened for Billups again, Ye Feng switched defenses again, and there was no gap.Although the individual defense ability of the players on the field is average, the role of the defensive system has come out.

It's not that Anthony doesn't want to pass, even if he does, he doesn't have a good chance.Billups was defended alternately by Kidd and Ye Feng, making it harder to play than him.He squeezed Wright twice with his back, used his butt power, and made a turnaround jumper this time. 4 to 2.

In the next round, as expected, Ye Feng pulled to the outside to catch the ball, exactly the same as the previous ball, Love blocked Anthony.This time the Nuggets have changed. Eli went to defend the three-point shooter, and Williams defended the pick-and-roll.

Ye Feng didn't catch the ball, he swayed, and ran to cover for Kidd, Kidd dribbled the ball away from Billups and went inside, Williams quickly followed, and Ye Feng ran to the middle again.

Kidd took a step with the ball, hit the ground and passed the ball to Ye Feng.Perfect pick-and-roll cooperation, Billups and Williams did not keep up with their opponents, Ye Feng slammed into the middle after receiving the ball, took two big steps to catch the ball, and dunked the ball with one-handed tomahawk. 6 to 2.

The audience applauded again, Ye Feng had dunked for the second time.

"I'm used to playing against people like Smith, Barnes, and McGee. The Nuggets' current lineup is simply not defensive." Ye Feng thought to himself, he played very easily, and he always smiled when returning to defense.

George Karl was a little helpless, he knew that Ye Feng was playing with the Nuggets as underdogs.

The Nuggets need to attack, and the players are all on the perimeter. They want to evacuate the inside and withdraw Ye Feng. As a result, Ye Feng does not leave the low post. He steps on the three-second zone line and waits for the Nuggets to attack. .

Billups passed to Williams, who got the ball in the high post. Ye Feng stood two steps away and made a "please" gesture. Williams was almost pissed off, and he aimed a jumper After making the shot, the open ball was still missed, Ye Feng immediately turned around and went to the basket to get the rebound.

The Clippers' offense was still a positional battle. Kidd brought it to the frontcourt to Wright, Wright passed it to Thornton, and Thornton handed it to Love.Love took the ball from the high position and played in the center, Ye Feng ran back from the low position, and when he reached the top of the arc, Love passed the ball.

Williams followed, bypassing Love to defend Ye Feng.Ye Feng feinted at the top of the arc, and then brought the ball into the three-point line.

Williams chased after him and before his center of gravity stabilized, Ye Feng took the ball and changed direction to the right, passing him in one step, leading to the inside, Anthony came up from the side to defend, Ye Feng immediately passed the ball and gave 45 degrees of Wright.

It's not a good strategy for Wright to be shorted.He does not need to aim at the ball, and immediately rises up. Although there is no defense, he still jumps very high. He has developed a habit in training during the holidays. The arc of the ball is also very good, and it enters the net hollowly. 9 to 2.

At the beginning, the Clippers played a smooth offense again. Anthony took the ball from outside the three-point line and singled Wright. This time Eli came out to cover, and Ye Feng immediately switched positions with Love to defend.

Anthony dribbled the ball against Ye Feng, but he didn't have a good chance. As long as Ye Feng was around, his low-post advantage could not be brought into play.It is easy to get hated by hitting Ye Feng in the low position.

He stood still with the ball and handed the ball to Billups. The two played a pick-and-roll. Now Ye Feng went to guard Billups, but Kidd stood in front of Anthony, defending the pass route, Billups couldn't pass the ball back.

Seeing that the time was approaching, Efflalo made a strong three-pointer from the outside of the Nuggets, 9 to 5.Although the ball was thrown in, it was missed.
