The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 303 [The sword is not old or is it returning to light? 】

The Spurs "GDP combination" is one year older, but the Spurs' record has improved. The only game they lost was against the Hornets at home. Paul beat Parker and Duncan was blocked by Okafor.

邓肯的数据从上赛季的18分10篮板3.2助攻1.5盖帽下降到了13分9篮板2.7助攻2盖帽，他出场时间短，效率依旧很高，却已不是那个无所不能的“石佛”了。

Tony Parker is still very strong, and his shooting percentage is around 50% all year round. As a point guard, this is a very high shooting percentage, and his breakthrough ability has not diminished in the slightest.

Ginobili started this season and is currently averaging 18 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.5 steals per game.He only plays 30 minutes per game, ranks first on the team in efficiency, and may be selected for the All-Star Game.But he is also old, and it can be seen from his increasingly thinning hair that he is developing in the direction of Footballer Zidane.

In addition to the "GDP combination", the Spurs also started with the short insider DeJuan Blair. He was selected in the second round and was almost intercepted by the Clippers last year. His strength is not bad.In addition, Richard Jefferson is not a fuel-efficient lamp at the small forward position.His scoring has decreased, but his shooting percentage has created a career high, especially the 44% three-point shooting percentage, which is very impressive. He is very strong. He also won 20+ back then and was a core player in the Nets and Bucks. .

The Spurs play well, and the depth of the bench is the most important reason. This year, they also have a few good players on the bench.Veteran McDyess, first-round rookie insider Splitter, guard George Hill who played well last season, shooting guard Chris Anderson, who was selected 1th overall in the first round, can evacuate the inside and is good at shooting three-pointers T. Bonner.And the biggest gain for the Spurs this year, Gary Neal, a combo player who didn't participate in the draft but is strong.

In 2007, Neal participated in the NBA draft, unfortunately lost, and then went to play in Europe.
In July 2010, Neal played in the NBA Summer League for the San Antonio Spurs. In 7 games, he averaged 5 minutes per game, scored 25.8 points, 16 rebounds, and shot 2.6% from the field and 50% from the three-point range (50 of 34).After that, Neil Spurs signed a 17-year contract and started his NBA career.

He quickly integrated into the Spurs.Not only can provide the team with three-point firepower, but also can use throws to complete the offense. With a height of 193cm, he does not suffer when defending at the 1st position. He averages 21 points, 10 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 1.2 minutes per game.His shortcoming is that he is not good at organizing passes.It was because of Neil that Popovich made Ginobili change to the starting lineup.

Ye Feng felt a bit regretful when he saw this person, he didn't think of him this summer, this is a very good role player, but his reputation is not obvious, he was reborn for three years, his memory is not good enough.Neal is more suitable for the Clippers than Jeremy Lin, and they have brought in more three-point shooters. By then, I am afraid that Barnes and Tony Allen will be overwhelmed and have no playing time.

From the analysis of the lineup, the Spurs have the strength to compete with the Clippers. This summer, their signings were very successful.The Spurs' team building method is worth learning from. They won 4 championships with a not-so-luxurious lineup. On the premise of ensuring that the core team stays, they introduced role players suitable for tactics and spent a small amount of money to do big things.

The media predicted that the Spurs may end the Clippers' winning streak. The Clippers had a long winning streak at the start of last season. This time many teams want to use them to test the team.

Popovich attaches great importance to this game. If you want to win the championship, the Clippers are the team that must be defeated, the number one enemy in the West.Moreover, he has not liked Ye Feng for a day or two, and he can't tell why, but he just hates it.Maybe because he has a lot of power in the Spurs, even if Duncan can't play well on the court, he can still scold him. People like Ye Feng are both players and owners, above the coaching staff and managers. I can't understand it.

In the locker room, Popovich said with a cold face: "This game must be won. If we did not play well in the past few seasons, we can say that the substitute is not good. Now our substitute is very strong. You are very strong and experienced. There is momentum too. As long as the Clippers boys come up to suppress them, they may win the game, don't let that kid Ye Feng be arrogant. How old is he? He actually won the MVP last season!"

The players all looked dignified and did not speak.Popovich went on to say: "Tim (Duncan), they may let McGee and you match up, today you have to shoot more, I don't believe that silly boy can guard you. Outside Tony (Parker) pay attention to breakthrough, Kee De's speed is very slow, you have an advantage against him alone. Manu (Ginobili), if they play Thornton or Curry, you have to deal with these two boys, they can't beat you. Richard (Jay Ferson), DeJuan (Blair), you two have a heavy task, try to limit Ye Feng inside and outside, only by limiting him can we win."

Popovich didn't like Ye Feng, but unconsciously gave him a high evaluation. In fact, he also thought that Ye Feng was very strong. Which team wouldn't want such a player with both offensive and defensive skills?envy, jealousy, hate……

In the visiting team's locker room, Thibodeau repeatedly asked the players not to be careless.He is quite contradictory about what tactics to play against the Spurs in this game. Should he guarantee the offense at the beginning, or should he try his best to defend?There are too many cards that can be played in his hand, which also makes him a little confused.The top offensive players and the Spurs' GDP combination are all there. If they can't guard against it, it will be more difficult to play later.With the defensive player on the line, the Spurs will definitely be in zone defense, and Ye Feng will have to attack alone.

In the end, Xi Bodu decided to send a defensive player to partner with Ye Feng. During the 8-game winning streak, Ye Feng was in very good condition. He not only won the best player of the week, but also led the scoring list. Both had 35 points, ranking first ahead of Kobe and Durant.Kobe's scoring average has risen again this season, 29 points, higher than Durant's, which is why Brown coached.Durant wants to share the ball with Rose, averaging 28.7 points per game is not bad.While LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are in a team, their statistics have declined. LeBron's statistics are slightly better, with only 28 points.

Ye Feng is very likely to win the scoring title this season.

Thibodeau arranged pick-and-roll tactics with Ye Feng as the core, requiring the players to defend everyone. The person with the most pressure was McGee, and his opponent was Duncan, while Love served as the power forward and defended Blair.Blair is very strong and weighs more than him. He is more suitable for playing, but he is still somewhat disadvantaged when defending against pick-and-rolls.

If Smith is on the bench and Love is a substitute, the Clippers' rebounds will be slightly weaker. Thibodeau finally decided to use Love.

The players came out, and the atmosphere on the court was very depressing. The Spurs were the devil's home court, but the fans seldom shouted desperately.The TN*T radio broadcast was live again.

Barkley is a Clippers fan. When the players came out, he said: "I am optimistic that the Clippers will win this game, as long as they take advantage of their speed."

Smith said: "The speed of the Spurs does not seem to be slower than the Clippers, but Duncan is slower than McGee."

Barkley said: "Well, even if they are not slow, the Spurs are not as good as the Clippers. This is a contest between the most gorgeous offensive team in the league and the old powerhouse. Although the Spurs have changed their lineup, their style of play has changed from 2000 It hasn't changed much from the beginning of the year to now, it's always the same."

Smith said: "Are you trying to talk about Duncan's wipeout shots? Ye Feng has been shooting wipeout shots in the first two seasons."

Barkley laughed and said, "Does it mean that you have to refute everything I say? Are you optimistic about the Spurs?"

Smith shook his head. "No, I'm also bullish on the Clippers."

Ye Feng threw a few balls, today's feel is average.He still can't be stable about the feeling of hand. If he sleeps to one side when he sleeps with a hand under his head, it may affect his state the next day.However, Curry felt good, scoring three-pointers in the warm-up.

The starting lineups of the two sides debuted, and the Clippers sent McGee, Love, Ye Feng, Tony Allen, and Kidd.

Allen played to deal with Ginobili.His statistics this season are still very good, and his strength is still strong.Ginobili plays about 30 minutes in the regular season every season, so he has never scored 20+ points, but no one will underestimate him. If you look at efficiency, he averages 35-40 minutes per game. The data will not be much worse than those top scorers.He still holds the consecutive scoring record in the league. In the game against the Hawks in 2007, Ginobili scored 4 consecutive points in just 47 minutes and 24 seconds, which is amazing.

The Spurs sent Duncan, Blair, Jefferson, Ginobili, Parker.

The game is about to start, McGee and Duncan jump the ball, Duncan has no expression on his face, he doesn't know what he is thinking, but Ye Feng can see the desire to win from the eyes of Ginobili and Parker, the Spurs will definitely fight .

McGee jumped the ball to win, the Clippers went first, Kidd led the ball to the frontcourt, Parker followed, Kidd relied on experience to hold the ball, it was impossible to pass Parker, brought it to the frontcourt and handed it over to Tony Allen, The latter was handed over to the high-ranking Love.Blair defends from behind.As soon as he moves, he can see the Spurs' defensive formation, 122 zone defense.

Parker was on the outside with Kidd, and the others shrank in the four corners of the restricted area. Jefferson and Ginobili were outside, and Duncan and Jefferson were inside.Popovich had already thought of a strategy before, as long as the Clippers didn't get a shooter, they would compress the defense, limit Ye Feng, and let others shoot.If the Clippers had a pitcher, it would be the opposite. They would defend Ye Feng alone and guard against others. In short, Ye Feng could not be allowed to perform.

Ye Feng pulled to the top of the arc, Love passed the ball, and Jefferson defended it.Ye Feng is a little taller. Judging by his physique, Jefferson is not bad. His strength is also very strong. He is a very comprehensive player.

You can't have both fish and meat, you can't have it both ways, when you get on the defensive player, the pitcher has to sit off the field, as soon as Love pulls out, Blair follows, Parker defends Kidd, Jefferson defends Ye Feng, and the Spurs change from 122 defenses It became a 32-zone defense.

McGee pulled out to cover again, Ye Feng broke through from the left, and Duncan switched defenses.This is the key to the victory between the Clippers and the Spurs. Can Duncan guard Ye Feng?

Shi Fu has been defending for a long time, and his skills are very high, but now he is slow, this is an unchangeable problem.Ye Feng accelerated with the ball, Duncan tried his best to mark it, and when it was around 45 degrees, Ye Feng had the advantage of speed, and suddenly paused, as if he was about to dribble the ball under his crotch, Duncan also paused, but Ye Feng did not change direction, and went again The basket popped.

A shift passed Duncan.Duncan reacted quickly and was able to block the shot from behind. Ye Feng didn't use a dunk, and quickly went up to the basketball in three steps. 2 to 0.

The Spurs had considered various methods before the game, but he still scored, which made Popovich very depressed.

The Spurs attack, Duncan asks for the ball in the low post, Blair pulls to the outside, he has a mid-range shot, he has good maneuverability, he can evacuate the inside, Love follows, Blair screens for Ginobili, the latter throws away Tony Allen,
Parker immediately passed the ball. Ginobili hit Love single-handedly. With a twist of his body, he suddenly changed direction and broke through. Love didn't keep up. But Lun came out from behind and blocked Ginobili's path. He didn't switch defenses, and as soon as he encountered a pick-and-roll, he immediately bypassed Blair and judged Ginobili's possible direction in advance.

This ball fully demonstrated his defensive skills.

Ginobili then passed the ball to Jefferson, who lobbed to Duncan in the low post.Duncan singled out McGee with the ball and dribbled low.McGee's strength was too weak, and he was knocked back. He used Mutombo's method to keep a distance and wanted to block the shot, but if Duncan entered the restricted area, it would be difficult to block the shot. He turned to the middle and singled The hand throws the ball in, and the release point is so high that even McGee can't cover it. 2 to 2.

The Clippers attacked, and the Spurs continued to use the zone defense. Jefferson closely followed Ye Feng, preventing him from catching the ball easily. After Love covered, Ye Feng got the ball, and Blair went up again.

Regardless of Blair's huge size, his speed is not considered slow. He can even throw, dunk and hit the board for an alley-oop dunk, which is not a floor flow.He followed closely and made it difficult for Ye Feng to turn around.

Ye Feng wanted to pass the ball to Kidd, and passed the ball horizontally, but Ginobili suddenly came out from the middle and successfully intercepted the ball.Ye Feng made a mistake.Ginobili made a fast break alone and scored a layup. 2 to 4.

Ye Feng felt a little embarrassed, and waved his hands at his teammates.The ball was sent from the backcourt, and Ye Feng had a hard time catching the ball from the outside. After covering by Love, he went to the low post. Kidd lobbed the ball into the right side, and Blair was the defender.

He wasn't as tall as Ye Feng, but he was really strong. Under his defense, Ye Feng couldn't squeeze into the paint. He was indeed a strengthened version of Hayes.But Hayes is better at disrupting the opponent's offensive rhythm.

At this time, Ye Feng felt that he was not comprehensive enough. If it was Kobe playing singles, he could turn around and shoot a fadeaway jumper after the fake move. He knew that move, but he couldn't guarantee the hit rate, so he rarely used it. It will be a little slower, so that the opponent has the possibility to prevent it.

Ye Feng took the ball to the middle, turned around and used a "Golden Rooster Independent" jumper, Blair couldn't cover it, but this shot also missed, Duncan got the backcourt rebound, and passed a long pass to Parker, who threw away Base Germany, enter the basketball! 2 to 6.

The Spurs' morale was like a rainbow at the beginning of the game.
