The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 340 [Taking the initiative in the opening game, playing with white monsters]

When they played, the Los Angeles fans also applauded the Grizzlies players, especially Blake Griffin was the most enthusiastic when he played. Winning the slam dunk champion has increased Griffin's popularity. When it comes to slam dunks, everyone will think of him , Now he is called "White Warcraft"!
McGee also increased his popularity in the same way.But Ye Feng had already gotten rid of the impression of dunking general, everyone regarded him as MVP.

The game was broadcast live on TN*T radio station across the United States. Experts believed that the Clippers were about to encounter some resistance. Although the Grizzlies played against the Thunder very hard, the lineup configuration was enough to cause some troubles for the Clippers.

Barkley compared the lineups of the two sides and said: "The Grizzlies have been very successful in strengthening this season. Gasol has integrated into the team without running in. The strength of the two sides is competitive. The Grizzlies are dominant inside. They have two All-Star."

Kenny Smith said: "The Grizzlies players were very confident in the interview before the game. They wanted to win this series and not just cause some trouble for the Clippers. The wish is good, but the Clippers are definitely better than the regular team in the playoffs. The game is stronger, last season they swept before the finals."

Barkley said with a smile: "The Clippers had no experience before. Now, except for Yi Jianlian and Wright, these players have all experienced the Finals. When facing the Trail Blazers, the Clippers' substitutes also got a lot of playing time. They did not try their best. A sweep. I think the suspense in this series is how many games are played, not who advances."

After the warm-up, the players from both sides played.

Ye Feng shook hands with Pau Gasol and said hello.The Grizzlies have not made it clear who is the core of the team, but Ye Feng believes that the core of the Clippers is Gasol, who is the most stable player and has rich experience.Both Griffin and Westbrook have strong personal abilities, but they tend to get hotheaded, especially Westbrook, who likes to fight when he is excited.

Grizzlies starting Paul. Gasol, Griffin, Gay, Henry, Westbrook.

The Clippers sent McGee, Love, Barnes, Ye Feng, and Curry.

Looking at the lineup, Barkley can roughly guess the thoughts of both sides. "Barnes started. It seems that the Clippers attach great importance to the defense of Gay and Westbrook. Barnes' offense is average, and he is desperate to play."

Smith said: "Maybe Barnes wants to defend Gay, and Ye Feng defends Westbrook. This season, Barnes renewed his contract with the Clippers with a basic salary for two years. He and Ye Feng have a good relationship. Forever the Clippers, the two even went to Las Vegas to play together twice, and it is said that they established a friendship at the gambling table."

Buckley said with a smile: "Ye Feng and Ariel's first wedding was also in Las Vegas. It seems that he likes to gamble."

The game started, McGee jumped the ball over Gasol, and the Clippers went first.

Gay defended Ye Feng closely. Hollins asked Guy to defend with all his strength and not relax for a moment. As long as Ye Feng's efficiency and scoring can be reduced, Gay will be worth a point.Gay was tight, and he was good defensively, although he didn't make the All-Defensive Team.

Ye Feng was not in a hurry to catch the ball, and set a screen for Curry at the top of the arc. Curry took the ball and threw off Westbrook, and took it from the left to the inside of the three-point line.After Ye Feng blocked the man, he immediately pulled away and ran to the inside.

This is a common tactic for the Clippers. If you switch defenses after the pick-and-roll, it will be misplaced.Hollins thought a lot about the possibility of the Clippers' offense before the game, and the defense he arranged was mainly to defend against Ye Feng. He didn't expect Ye Feng to come up with a pick-and-roll to create opportunities for his teammates.At this time, Love has also pulled to the perimeter to catch the ball, and Griffin defended it.

Gay followed Ye Feng, did not switch defenses, and let Westbrook chase Curry.Curry averaged 15.7 points and 4.4 assists per game in the regular season. Due to his injury, he has been in a slump for a while, and his statistics have dropped a lot, but his shooting confidence is still very high. Seeing that Guy went to follow Ye Feng, he immediately stopped for a jumper, and the ball drew a beautiful line The arc, hollow into the net. 2 to 0.

It was also Thibodeau's arrangement that Curry shot whenever he had the opportunity. Smith was not around, so he and Love had to make a bold move to help Ye Feng.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Ye Feng stood in the halfcourt waiting for Westbrook.

As soon as Westbrook passed halftime, Ye Feng immediately stepped forward and pressed hard. This defensive method may force the defender to return to the field and make a mistake.Ye Feng played as a defender, disrupting Hollins' pre-match plan again.If Thunder doesn't make a shot, Ye Feng defends the outside line and it's easy to make a fast break immediately.

"He even let him guard me. It seems that the Clippers also admit that I am the core of the Grizzlies. Today I will blow you up and let people see my strength." This is Westbrook's idea, I have to say He is optimistic.

There is no one in the league who Westbrook is afraid to single out. Maybe it will be difficult to fight Ye Feng, but he is not afraid of difficulties. This is caused by his character.This kind of personality makes Hollins very helpless. He often says that he can’t change it, but the Grizzlies will not trade Westbrook to leave the team. He is a super powerful combo guard. Among the young players in the league, only Rose can match him. Even worse than Eric Gordon of the Bobcats.

Westbrook intends to challenge, and before Griffin stepped forward to pick and roll, he attacked with the ball.His left shoulder swayed slightly, the ball changed direction with his right hand, and there was a slight pause.Ye Feng knew that he wanted to break through, so he couldn't fully judge the breakthrough route and took a small step backwards.Westbrook dribbled the ball to his left hand and broke through from the left.

He can also cross-step to pass people. It is always easy for him to use this move by relying on his speed advantage, but Ye Feng is a great expert in dribbling the ball under the crotch, so he reacted immediately. Moved laterally, blocking Westbrook's breakthrough route.

In the previous games, Westbrook had never faced Ye Feng directly.Seeing Ye Feng keep up, Westbrook was full of surprise. His speed was considered fast among defenders. Ye Feng was so tall but he was not thrown away. This approach disrupted his rhythm. He could only pass ball up.If you continue to dribble, the coach will definitely scold you.

The ball was passed to Henry, who lobbed the ball in on the left and handed it to Gasol.Love defended from the back, and he didn't take the first ball to go forward. That was something he had to wait for the opponent to feel too good.

Gasol took the ball with his back and couldn't squeeze it after two dribbles.Love has lost weight and his strength is still there. Gasol took the ball to the center, with his left foot as the axis, and swayed his back to the right. As soon as Love moved his center of gravity, Gasol turned to the left again and stepped out with his right foot. A big step down layup.Love kept up, but he was not tall enough and his wingspan was not enough, so he failed to block the ball and scored. 2 to 2.

Barkley exclaimed: "Gasol's footwork is really good. In the first half of the season with the Lakers, he almost became a spot-up shooter. After returning to the Grizzlies, he used some moves again. One-on-one Love is really not Gasol my opponent."

Smith sighed: "In the regular season game between the Grizzlies and the Celtics this season, Gasol overwhelmed his old rival Garnett twice. He doesn't seem to be that soft. Now the Lakers must regret it. Garnett Playing depends on physical fitness, and the speed and jumping decrease, which affects the state. Gasol is a floor player, not only has his state not declined, but he has better skills and more confidence than when he left the Grizzlies."

Barkley said with a smile: "Actually, the Lakers made a wrong trade. If they want to rise, they only need to trade for someone who can pass the ball to the inside players and break the double-team. It's a pity that the Lakers still choose the outside line as the core...Ye Feng Got the ball."

The Clippers fought in the frontcourt, passing the ball non-stop. It was not until Ye Feng relied on Love's cover to throw Gay away that the ball was passed to him, and Griffin switched defenses.

Griffin was not tall, but he was very strong and faster than the players in the same position. Ye Feng dribbled the ball from the right side and failed to get rid of it in one step. However, he knew that it was easier to break through against Griffin than against Gay.

Ye Feng dribbled the ball in front of the frame, retreated to open the distance, dribbled the ball with his left hand and crossed his right hand and took a small step to pretend to break through to the right. Griffin followed suit. One step, Griffin quickly moved to the right to keep up, but Ye Feng dribbled the ball behind his back to his right hand, and then changed his direction again to the bottom line, Griffin was passed.

Once passed by Ye Feng, there is no way to catch up, he is too fast.Ye Feng took the ball and took three steps immediately, Gasol defended and stood under the basket.

To defend against Ye Feng, there was a risk of being dunked, but Gasol still went up, Ye Feng jumped up with the ball in his left hand and turned halfway in the air, and the moment he was about to touch Gasol, his left hand retracted the ball to his right backhand from Gasol's armpit After sending it down, McGee caught the ball on the other side and was unguarded, and easily dunked into the frame with one hand. 4 to 2.

It's too late for Griffin to defend McGee, and his tragic wingspan can't cover McGee.

Grizzlies head coach Hollins complained in his heart. Ye Feng played as a guard, and Griffin was not good at defending against breakthroughs.Griffin was confident in defending against Ye Feng's low back attack, but Ye Feng didn't try at all.

Back on defense, Ye Feng started to defend Westbrook again.Westbrook didn't force a breakthrough on this ball. He and Ye Feng had a rough idea of ​​Ye Feng's abilities once they faced each other. The best defensive player is not just blown out, so we can't make unnecessary attempts, we have to play according to the coach's arrangement.

Griffin's high pick-and-roll, McGee switched to Westbrook, Westbrook took the ball to the right, and Ye Feng defended Griffin. Before the Grizzlies pick-and-roll, they could be released to Griffin to let him play the guard alone. , but now Griffin is facing Ye Feng, Westbrook didn't pass the ball, he dribbled the ball to break through, and the right 45-degree emergency stop jumper missed, McGee almost blocked it, forcing him to adjust his shot Posture and arc.

As soon as the ball hit the rim, Ye Feng immediately slammed it down. Sure enough, Love got the rebound and quickly passed it to Curry. The Clippers counterattacked!

As soon as the break was fast, there was a dislocation on the field. Griffin caught up with Ye Feng, McGee quickly went down, Westbrook caught up with McGee, and entered the inside lane early. This is a matchup with obvious advantages.Curry passed the ball to Barnes while running and the latter handed it to Ye Feng.

McGee has already rushed into the penalty area. How can Westbrook and McGee be defended against the difference in height?Griffin followed Ye Feng and did not dare to relax, Ye Feng took a step sideways and passed it to McGee who wanted the ball inside.

It has to be said that McGee's back attack was a mess. He was weak and couldn't even squeeze Westbrook. After receiving the ball, he turned from the center to the right very quickly, not like an insider at all.He used his height advantage to hit a one-handed shot, and Westbrook had nothing to do. 6 to 2.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Ye Feng continued to defend Westbrook.The Grizzlies played another pick-and-roll, and this time the ball was handed over to Griffin in the high position. Just as Griffin was about to take the ball, Ye Feng took the initiative to take a step back to make room, and said "please" to Griffin Gestures, anti-burst not anti-cast.

Griffin, who was disgusted by this action, was not light, and it was obvious that he was underestimated. "Is it true that I can't make a mid-range shot?" Griffin made up his mind, and immediately took the ball and stood up.

Griffin had just jumped to the highest point to take the shot, but Ye Feng had already jumped to a higher position. As soon as he finished the inviting action, he immediately rushed forward to block the shot.

Ye Feng often defends like this in the team. As long as there is a challenge, the opponent will often choose to shoot immediately in order to prove himself. If he doesn't shoot, it will be embarrassing. This is especially true for stars. He thought he was already a top star.

Ye Feng directly blocked it with beautiful psychological warfare.Westbrook cuts inside, only Henry is on the outside, far away from the basketball.After Ye Feng blocked the shot, he rushed out at full speed, picked up the basketball and formed a one-man fast break.

Griffin tried his best to catch up with Ye Feng from behind, ready to return a block. His speed was very fast, and he caught up with Ye Feng when he stepped on the free throw line.

Ye Feng also knew that Griffin could catch up, so he thought about what to do in advance.He took a big step in front of the free throw line, with his left foot as the axis, and sent the ball forward with his right hand. Griffin jumped in front of him with a small jump. He didn't take off with all his strength to prevent fake moves.

Griffin's judgment was correct. Ye Feng didn't make a move. He turned around and took a big step back with his right foot. Feng's hook.The ball was still a fake move, Ye Feng didn't jump, he retracted his hand again, took a big step forward with his right foot, bumped into Griffin and jumped up, and at the same time threw the ball with his right hand and low hand.

Go in!The referee's whistle also sounded, calling Griffin for a foul, 2+1!

Barkley shouted: "My God, what happened just now? Three fake moves in a row, this ball can definitely be called dreamy footsteps, both of them are very fast, if Ye Feng's shot is slower He was blown off the offense for three seconds, and he can really hold his breath. This is the most beautiful low-footed goal this year!"

Smith said with a smile: "Griffin's expression looks helpless. He has already defended the ball very well. Anyone who comes up with this trick will probably be dizzy."

Barkley laughed and said, "Ye Feng waved his hand towards the 'ladder' Jackson on the sidelines. The fat man waved his fist excitedly. It seems that he taught it."

Smith said: "Do you feel that Ye Feng's offense is developing towards the direction of street ball now? He no longer wants to hit every ball to the basket to complete the offense like when he first debuted, but his footsteps are getting better and better. .”

Barkley said: "I do have this feeling. Griffin is like Ye Feng in his rookie season. He is extremely brave, but Ye Feng has matured and has more and more offensive methods. When the two are facing each other, Griffin is definitely not. opponent."

Ye Feng also made an extra penalty, 9 to 2.The Clippers took the initiative at the beginning.
