The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 339 [Scoring champion and best defensive player]

Before the start of the series against the Grizzlies, Ye Feng first received the Defensive Player of the Year award in Los Angeles, and held a press conference to accept media interviews.

Among the ballots cast by sports journalists from all over the United States and Canada, Ye Feng won 80 first-choice votes, scoring 476 points.In the regular season, Ye Feng performed well in steals and blocked shots. The most exciting thing is to limit the opponent's scoring. He can limit the opponent's scoring to 9.7 points per game. Since he often faces the top scorer, this The numbers are already very low.

The most likely to win the best defensive player award is the center player, and it is rare for Ye Feng to play forward for the Rockets.This season, Ye Feng also got Howard's favor. If it wasn't for Howard's conflict with the team's management, demanding a transfer and losing his character, the reporters would definitely vote for him.Another reason for winning the award may be that Ye Feng has a good relationship with the reporters and knows how to build a good relationship with the media. Of course, the reporters are willing to vote for him.

Ye Feng has already won the scoring title this season, and now he has won the best defensive player. In many people's minds, he is the number one in the league no matter in offense or defense.The regular season MVP has not been announced yet, and he must be the one.And the best team and best defensive team must also have his name. This season he has truly achieved a great harvest of personal honors. As long as the Clippers can defend their title, he will collect several awards together.

Ye Feng was very low-key at the press conference, he only said that he was very happy to receive this award and would work hard to prevent his opponents from dying.He felt that now is not the time to be happy, defending the title is the most important thing.

Thibodeau said: "He is the perfect combination of speed and strength. You can't see hesitation in him, whether it is assist defense or single defense. It is very good to be targeted by him. It is not just difficult to score, but also to get the ball. It took a lot of effort.”

Many basketball stars also accepted interviews, commented on Ye Feng's performance, and congratulated him on winning the award.

Several other awards were also announced.The Clippers achieved the best record in history with 75 wins and 7 losses in the regular season, and Ye Feng was not the only one who benefited.

This year's best coach award, Clippers coach Thibodeau was elected without any suspense with 76 first-choice votes.This award is mainly based on the record. As for the on-the-spot resilience, how can there be any evidence to prove it?So Mike Brown also won the best coach.

Heat general manager Pat Riley won the "Sporting News" award for the best manager of the year.No one doubts this. The Heat's signings are the most successful in the league, and the general managers of the Nets and Grizzlies are also on the list.

Lakers forward Ron Artest was awarded the 2010-2011 Kennedy Citizenship Award by the National League of Professional Basketball Writers.Although the guy is rough and hot-tempered on the court, he is a caring person in life and likes to donate to charity. He won this award for his kindness.

Heat guard OJ. Mayo won the Best Sixth Man award. He is the best helper of the "Big Three". He has a lot of credit for the Heat's best record in the Eastern Conference.

开拓者新领袖拉马库斯.阿尔德里奇荣膺年度进步最快球员奖。本赛季他场均能拿下21.8分8.8篮板2.2助攻1抢断1.2盖帽。他进步的还不只是数据，还有领袖气质，这个奖项实至名归。

There were two games in the second round, Heat VS Knicks, Mavericks VS Spurs.

Before the game, the Knicks' players and coaching staff expressed their confidence in beating the Heat. They also have the "Big Three" team.

After the start of the game, it proved that a team with only stars is useless, and the performance of role players can influence the trend of the game.

Since the loss to the Clippers, the Heat coach Spoelstra has changed the lineup arrangement. The important change is that Chris Bosh came off the bench and played with the second team with Mayo. Haslem started Strengthen your defense.In this way, the Heat's starting lineup and substitute lineup can guarantee offensive power, and Mayo will not be alone.As a substitute, Bosh can also play a greater role on the offensive end. When starting, the main attackers are James and Wade, and his shots are limited.

The Heat firmly controlled the situation, and the Knicks relied on Billups, Anthony, and Stoudemire to attack. Anthony lost in the matchup with James.Stoudemire was strictly guarded, and he didn't take advantage of it too much. Billups had an advantage over Bibby, but he didn't reach the point where he could fight and advance.

The Heat won 129 to 113, and the Knicks discovered that their offensive power was not the strongest, and the Heat didn't just rely on defense to win.

The first game of the "Ox and Horse War" was held in San Antonio.

In the opening game, Duncan gave the Mavericks a big blow, and he used post-up singles to hit DeAndre Jordan consecutively.

After Jordan came to the Mavericks, he seemed to have suddenly awakened to the "small universe", and his defense was very strong. In the last series, he defended Nene to death, and sent 7 big caps in the fifth game.But he couldn't handle Duncan.Duncan's offense relies on technology, not head-to-head with Jordan.Always rock him with fakes first and then shoot.

Before the game, some people predicted that Jordan would let the "GDP combination" try his big hat. As a result, he only hated Hill in this game, and he was not Duncan's opponent at all.He didn't perform much on the offensive end, and he didn't seem to be worthy of the high salary offered by the Nets.

No matter how old Duncan is, the Spurs operate around him. As long as he is open, the Spurs' overall offense can be opened.Tony. Parker and Manu Ginobili also had very good performances, and all three scored 20 points.Duncan scored 22 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists, blowing out Jordan and Haywood.

Marion, who Jefferson also guarded against, did nothing.Blair has no height, and Popovich didn't arrange him to match Nowitzki, let him guard Jordan in the low post.With a height advantage, Jordan, who can't shoot, can't use it.

小牛只有两人发挥正常。德隆.威廉姆斯24分4篮板11助攻，诺维斯基36分7篮板4助攻2抢断，特里得到了15分，命中率却很低。小牛93比108先输一场。

The loss of the Mavericks is good news for the Clippers, and now the Spurs are not sure about winning. If the two teams play a few more games, no matter who wins, it will be beneficial to the Clippers.

The Clippers are confident of defeating the Grizzlies, and their goal is to sweep the Grizzlies as far as possible to advance, in order to get more rest time.Rest in the playoffs is very important. Only after rest can you have sufficient physical fitness and perform your best.The current situation is a bit unfavorable for the Grizzlies. They rushed to Los Angeles after only one day of rest, preparing for the next round of competition.The Clippers have been resting for a week.

On May 5, the Clippers played their first game against the Grizzlies in Los Angeles.

In the locker room of the visiting team, an old man was wearing a fine suit and was talking about tactics. His image was comparable to that of Chuck Daly back then, and his gestures and gestures were very elegant. This is Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins .

When taking over the coach of the Grizzlies, the executives once dropped a sentence, telling Hollins that he only had one and a half seasons to prove himself.Fortunately, it only took him half the time to give fans hope.Now when people mention his name again, the impression in their minds finally no longer stays in "Oh, he is the coach who had a conflict with Iverson".Naturally, the top management saw his performance, so Hollins renewed his contract for three years.

The 56-year-old Hollins is the 11th coach in the history of the Grizzlies. His current achievements make people easily think of the old coach Hubie. Brown, who brought the Grizzlies into the playoffs historically.The Grizzlies today are the same as they were then, and the chemistry in the team is very good.Hollins has done a good job of communicating with the players, allowing everyone to twist together.The players also affirmed the work of the coach. Even Paul Gasol, who had just returned to the Grizzlies, praised: "He is a tenacious coach and a winner. He knows what to do."

Overall, the Grizzlies lineup is strong in every position, with centers Marc Gasol, Pau Gasol, Hamid Haddadi; power forwards Blake Griffin, Darrell Arthur, Lay Ang Powe; small forwards Sam Young, Rudy Gay, Luke Walton; shooting guards Graves Vasquez, Xavier Henry; point guards Russell Westbrook, Asilau.

Vasquez and Henry are combo positions, and Gay and Young can also serve as shooting guards. There is no weakness on the outside.

The Grizzlies don't have time to prepare for the game, but the entire league is studying the Clippers, and the Clippers haven't changed their lineup by trading. They know their opponents very well.

The most important thing to do against the Clippers is to prevent Ye Feng from dying!As long as Ye Feng misfires, the Grizzlies can win the game.Hollins arranged a zone defense system, with Gay defending Ye Feng on the outside and Griffin defending on the inside, trying to be one-on-one.

Double-teaming Ye Feng will be very ugly. The Grizzlies have a deep understanding of this in the regular season. As long as the outside line finds the touch, Wright, Love, Curry and others are very accurate in three-pointers, and they can all participate in the All-Star long-distance shooting level of competition.But if there is no double team, Ye Feng can score a lot of points in singles, this is the scary thing about the Clippers.Fortunately, the Grizzlies are very strong in terms of staffing. Gay and Ye Feng are about the same height and wingspan. The outside can interfere with his shooting. When he gets inside, Griffin, like Ye Feng, is the dunk king. Guard him in the low post.

Griffin's comprehensive defensive ability is above the standard. He has strength to resist people, interference, and good rebound prediction. His wingspan is flawed and he blocks a little less.In Ye Feng’s previous life, Griffin’s first season with the Clippers was poor. Many people said that he was terrible defensively. Speaking of poor defense, there are still many applause.

The Grizzlies' offense arranged for Gasol to play singles in the low post, Griffin pulled to the outside to give Westbrook a pick-and-roll attack, Gay and Henry ran to look for opportunities, and waited for an opportunity to shoot a three-pointer.Gay also needs to cooperate with Gasol on the bottom line, pay attention to the offense after the air cut.

These are the usual tactics of the Grizzlies, and the Clippers have already thought of them. If Hollins can't be flexible, the Grizzlies will definitely suffer a big loss in the first game.
