The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 315 [So strong! 】

After blocking the shot, Ye Feng rushed out for a quick break as soon as he landed, and McGee received the basketball and passed it to Kidd.Ariza returned to the defense very quickly and caught up with Ye Feng. Kidd waited for Ye Feng to reach the edge of the penalty area before passing the ball.

Ye Feng received the ball and gave Ariza a hard push with his back twice, turned around in the middle, took the ball and swayed it.Out of the corner of his eye he saw Humphries running back.In a flash, Humphries jumped up to block the shot and missed it.Ariza went up close to him, but Ye Feng didn't make a forced shot and passed the ball out to Love.

Lopez went to defend McGee, Love was unguarded outside, and hit a 60-degree three-pointer from the left. 7 to 2.

The Nets lineup has momentum, but the experience is not as good as the Clippers. The Clippers cooperated very tacitly at the beginning.

"Little General" Johnson yelled toward the field: "Pass the ball to Brook (Lopez)!"

Lopez is the first scoring point for the Nets.Johnson's tactic is to use Wall as the core during the fast break, and pass the positional battle to Lopez with the inside as the axis.Johnson brought the Mavericks' Nowitzki-centric style of play to the Nets, and wanted Lopez to become a player who can play both inside and outside. He is indeed a rare big man who can shoot three-pointers, but The ability to break through with the ball is not as good as Nowitzki.

Lopez pulls to the high post to cover Wall, Wall dribbles the ball laterally to attract the defense, and passes back to Lopez.Lopez relied on his height advantage to single Kidd, turned around and took a step, and hit a jumper with an emergency stop. 7 to 4.

"Little General" Johnson's coaching mainly consists of two tricks, running and shooting. He can make a team's offense better. Last season, the Nets were the team with the least points in the league, and now they have made significant progress.

The Clippers attacked, and the Nets began to defend.Ye Feng received the ball at the top of the arc and wanted to break through to the inside. Wall immediately stepped forward to block his path with Outlaw.Ye Feng attracted a double-team pass, Kidd made an open three-pointer, and the ball went wide!Kidd's 37 percent shooting this season is disappointing.

Johnson's defensive arrangement is to let Kidd shoot. It doesn't matter how many times Kidd takes shots. He is not the type who is good at scoring. As long as he defends Ye Feng, the Clippers will collapse in half. Now many teams think so.

Humphries took the backcourt rebound and launched a fast break to Ariza, Ariza passed it to Wall, Kidd was completely left behind by Wall, Ye Feng was too late to return to the defense, the distance was too far, I can only watch Wall break into the basket and play the basketball. 7 to 6.The Nets chased the score back.

The Clippers attacked, and Wall let go of Kidd again, double-teaming Ye Feng.Ye Feng passed a pass to Kidd again, and what he thought was, "Isn't it easier to shoot an open shot than to be double-teamed? I don't believe you still haven't made it."

As a result, Kidd really missed again, and Lopez took the backcourt rebounds. It hurts morale not to make consecutive open shots.

This time the Clippers returned to defense quickly and did not allow the Nets to play a fast break.Wall passed the ball to Ariza, who then passed to Outlaw, who faced Wright and turned around with the ball calmly. At this time, McGee in the low post went around to defend Lopez.Lopez immediately ran to the other side.Outlaw was experienced and did not attack aggressively, so he passed it to Wall again.Wall dribbled the ball horizontally and broke into the inside with the cover of Humphries. Love switched defenses. Wall didn't bring the ball inside and passed it to Lopez.

The Nets played very patiently. Lopez took the ball and turned to face the frame to lead the middle.

If McGee doesn't gain weight, there will always be weaknesses in single defense. Now many teams have studied him thoroughly. When fighting him, they must actively seek physical confrontation and rely on him to shoot. As long as he cannot jump up, the defensive effect will be great. will weaken.

The Clippers attacked and Kidd took the ball to the frontcourt.Both of the Clippers' insiders pulled out, Ye Feng entered the low post, Kidd passed the ball to Love, and cut inside, as long as he was close to the basket, the Nets would not dare to relax their defense against him, the closer he was to the basket The more accurate the place.

The Nets put McGee instead, and after the dislocation, Humphries and Outlaw double-teamed Ye Feng in the low post.The two big men put more pressure on Ye Feng. Ye Feng saw the opportunity and passed the ball to McGee.

McGee missed an open shot, and the role player missed again today.

After Ye Feng passed the ball, he struggled to get in position, but Humphries and Outlaw were still unable to reach the siege, and Humphries took the rebound again.

The Nets also played well.Lopez pulled to the perimeter to cover again, and Wall broke through with the ball.Love was not fast enough to defend against the pick-and-roll, and Wall dribbled the ball under his crotch and flashed open, making a sudden stop for a jumper. Fortunately, he missed his shot and didn't make it.

Humphries grabbed the offensive rebound in the interior, and the second offense caused a foul by McGee's thugs.In this game, Humphries played very tough. Facing the two insiders of the Clippers without fear, he scored multiple rebounds.He got to the free throw line and made one of two free throws. 7 to 9.

The Clippers are in trouble offensively.Kidd and McGee missed consecutive shots, and the Nets players became more unscrupulous when they double-teamed Ye Feng.Fortunately, the Clippers' defensive strength is not low, and the Nets players also hit the iron again and again, and the two sides entered a stalemate.

Kidd was replaced after playing for 5 minutes, replaced by Tony Allen as the No. 1 guest. Wall is too fast, and there is a way to break through Kidd without a screen. The Nets also have an equally fast Harris off the court. Sitting, Kidd is destined not to play for too long.Tony Allen defends tight, but don't expect him to deliver great passes.

Seven minutes into the game, McGee was replaced for two fouls and replaced by Gortat.The Nets also requested a substitution, and Scola played, replacing Humphries.

This substitution enhanced the Nets' offensive power.Lopez began to pull out the perimeter to Wall's pick-and-roll, and the low post was handed over to Scola.Scola used his footsteps three times to make Love Huang dizzy and scored low.His footwork is getting better and better, and he can pull up to the high post for his teammates to pick and roll and shoot in the high post.

In just 5 minutes of playing time in the first quarter, Scola scored 8 points and grabbed 2 rebounds. This season, the Nets paid a high salary to poach him.

The other two insiders on the field, Lopez and Love, entered the NBA in the same year. Lopez was the tenth overall pick, but some experts said that if the rookies were re-ranked that year, Lopez should be the No. [-] pick.Love is often compared with Lopez. Love has better rebounds, but in terms of offensive skills and comprehensiveness, Lopez is undoubtedly stronger.Lopez is a traditional center with solid basic skills. He is not only suitable for pick-and-roll offense, but also can attract double-teams in low-post singles. This is exactly Duncan's style of play.

The Clippers trailed 26 to 32 by 6 points in the first quarter, and the Nets blasted the Clippers inside.Thibodeau considered again and again, but did not let Ye Feng play the 4th position. The Clippers have many big men, and they cannot rely on Ye Feng to complete the defense inside and outside.

The Clippers' lag behind somewhat surprised the fans.

Van Gundy said: "The Clippers have a problem with their offense. They got a lot of easy shots, but they didn't grasp them. Kidd's state has declined this season. His role is only reflected in defense and offensive organization. Although Wall is not allowed to , but shot very resolutely after the breakthrough, and Kidd couldn't prevent the breakthrough. The Clippers also had problems with their interior defense, which allowed the Nets to score too many points."

"Magic" Johnson said with a smile: "Scola's height may not be called the twin towers, right? But his offense is indeed very beautiful, relying on technology to make up for the lack of talent."

Van Gundy said: "Look at the second quarter of the game. The Clippers have no point guard, and the second quarter is not easy to handle. Harris may win the best sixth man this season."

Johnson said: "The Nets are really strong this season!"

The Clippers are known for their bench depth, but when they started the second quarter, they found that the Nets' bench was not weak.

The Clippers sent Gortat, Yi Jianlian, Smith, Thornton, Tony Allen.The Nets have DeAndre Jordan, Scola, Vujacic, Farmar, Harris.

"Little General" Johnson's formation is very targeted.The Clippers are now short of guards, so he sent a two-guard lineup.Thornton is not tall, and Farmer does not suffer from defending him.The Clippers' biggest advantage is Smith's matchup with Vujacic.

Scola is in charge of the pick-and-roll. Harris frequently hits the inside of the Clippers. He is too fast. The three-pointer is not as accurate as the "Jets", and the scoring mainly depends on breakthroughs.

Harris' body is not suitable for playing shooting guard, and a large part of the reason for letting him play more is to prepare for future transactions.His data is beautiful, and his value will be higher. The Nets have actually locked the signing target and just need to implement it.

DeAndre Jordan's offense is terrible and he can be emptied, but he can only involve defense in the low post, basically never leaving the baseline, and giving teammates off-ball screens.If Jordan is in the low post, he can dunk directly after receiving the ball, and his physical fitness is also top-notch.

Vujacic ran back from the baseline, Jr. blocked Smith, Yi Jianlian was slow to switch defenses, Vujacic ran to the other corner to catch the ball, got an open three-pointer, and made a steady hit.

When it came to the Nets, Vujacic's data rebounded. He scored 7 points in a short playing time and made 38.7% of his three-pointers. He has become an important substitute for the Nets.

Harris of the Nets scored 6 points in a row to further widen the score, while the Clippers relied on Smith's singles to bite the score and were not pulled to double digits.

The offense of the Clippers' second team also had problems. The pick-and-roll coordination between Thornton and Yi Jianlian was not smooth.The Nets used a 122 zone defense, and the main defense was Thornton's breakthrough.Thornton and Yi Jianlian are the only people on the Clippers who can shoot three-pointers.Smith's three-pointer was not working at the right time, and Thibodeau didn't dare to let him let go.

After playing for less than 4 minutes, Yi Jianlian was replaced.Facing Jordan, he didn't get an easy shot. He made 2 of 0 shots and got a big cap. It's a bit like an undercover...

In fact, it's not that Yi Jianlian is weak. Jordan's defensive ability has begun to attract people's attention this season.When he was Howard's substitute in the Magic, he played very little time, and his inaccurate free throws were also disliked by Stan Van Gundy, and he was never reused.Now that Jordan is in the Nets, his talents are beginning to show. He is like Tyson Chandler who can't shoot.Yi Jianlian couldn't beat him one-on-one.
