The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 373 [The Real Stadium Emperor]

詹姆斯首节4投1中，只得到了2分3篮板3助攻。

Barkley's evaluation is: "James uses the body of a god to perform human basketball."

Kenny Smith is also not optimistic about James. He said: "Ye Feng showed the victorious momentum when he came up, but James didn't seem to take the victory seriously at all. He didn't seem to work hard enough. Such a crucial game, let People can't understand."

ESPN's evaluation of Ye Feng is higher. "Magic" Johnson said: "Some people say that no player will ever surpass Jordan, not because of Jordan's invincible skills, nor because of his six championship rings, but because of his unparalleled influence, because he is becoming more and more powerful. More and more people are beginning to like basketball. Now Ye Feng has the possibility of surpassing Jordan. He has great influence all over the world, especially in Asia and China. Almost everyone likes him. He even has a large number of movie fans .”

Van Gundy said: "Ye Feng has indeed played at the No.1 level in the league. Divac and Phil Jackson said a long time ago that Ye Feng's understanding of basketball is unmatched. After 4 years, he has become omnipotent, and James can't completely restrict him, his offensive methods are too comprehensive."

China's CCAV channel also conducted a live broadcast, and the commentator Yu Jia also gave Ye Feng a high evaluation. He said: "When I watch the Clippers game now, I think of mango juice. An advertising company predicted the NBA today a long time ago." , they created a slogan that Ye Feng can't stop..." (Did you take Ye Feng's money?)
In short, people almost believed that Ye Feng was stronger than James.

Spoelstra called James to his side to do ideological work. If James is still so muddled in the next game, the Heat will be in danger.

In the second quarter, the Heat replaced Haslem, Bosh, Mike Miller, Mayo, and Chalmers.Mayo and Bosh stayed on the court and played off the bench.In order to win, Spoelstra considered letting all four star players play the game. Wade and James would only rest for a while. He had to explain something to the two and let them play together.

Heat did not replace Dampier.Dampier is so bad, he can't do both offense and defense.But without Dampier, no one in the Heat can resist the "big shark".

The Clippers sent O'Neal and Gortat to work together on the inside, and Sudton, Barnes, and Curry on the outside.

The task of defending Mayo on the perimeter falls on Barnes' shoulders, and two defensive swingmen can guarantee a high-intensity defense against Mayo throughout the court.It's not difficult for Thornton to face Mike Miller at the 3rd position. Miller is old, as long as he guards against his three-pointers.

Thornton and Gortat cooperated in the pick-and-roll, O'Neal attacked in the low post, and the Clippers maintained their offensive power.Haslem defended desperately, but was still beaten into two by O'Neal in the low post.Outside Barnes guards against Mayo, and Gortat can also keep up after switching defenses after the pick-and-roll. Gortat has even blocked James' breakthrough, let alone facing Mayo.

After playing for 3 minutes, the Clippers widened the point difference to 35 points 20 to 15, and Spoelstra quickly replaced James and Wade.

Barnes turned to defend James, Thornton faced Wade, and Curry defended Mayo.

The Clippers still focused on taking care of James. Barnes and Gortat guarded against him together. The two guards Mayo and Wade began to show off, leading the Heat to an 8-0 shock wave, narrowing the point difference, 35 to 28.James' scoring still stayed at a poor two points.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Clippers sent Love, McGee, Smith, Ye Feng, and Tony Allen.Ye Feng is still playing the 1st position, and neither side has a regular point guard for this game.

Haslem became a surprise soldier for the Heat. In the second quarter, he hit three mid-range shots through pick-and-roll cooperation, and once grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a second offense. He scored 10 points and 5 rebounds in the half, more than Bosh better.

Ye Feng played 6 minutes in the second quarter. He took 6 shots against strict defense and hit 2 goals. He also made a low attack that caused a foul by James. He made two free throws and scored 21 points at halftime.

James was in a slump to the limit today. He didn't score in the second quarter and only scored two points in the half. He hasn't had a worse game in recent years.He took 6 shots in the half, didn't break through, didn't win free throws, and his shooting percentage in the 2007 Spurs finals was less than [-]%. At least he dared to attack, and now he doesn't shoot.

57 ended the first half with an 46-point lead over 11.

In the visiting team's locker room, Wade exploded, criticizing and blaming James in front of everyone. "LeBron, haven't you woken up? What are you doing? Ye Feng scored 20 points, and you only scored 2 points. Before the game, you said you would work hard. That's how you spell it? Don't you want to win?"

James said depressedly: "Enough! It's easy for you to say, now they use Smith and Ye Feng to defend me together. You don't know what level they are? If they teamed up to deal with you, you can score so many points ?”

James and Wade really fell out.The coaching staff hurried up to mediate. Now the Heat still have a chance. If the two of them quarrel, the disadvantage may be irreparable.

James is a collection of thousands of favorites. Before coming to the Heat, he was the symbol of the league, but when he came to the Heat, Wade didn't give him face.After losing the second game, Wade publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with James' performance in the post-match press conference. Now in the locker room, Wade put on the air of the boss to scold him again, and James was a little angry.

Wade wanted to win, so he was too excited. His starting point was to hope that James could play better, but James is the "Emperor".He felt that without him, Wade would not be able to make it through the first round of the playoffs, so what qualifications did he have to teach him here?
At this moment, James didn't think about mustering all his strength to defeat Ye Feng, but he suddenly realized that he and Wade were not brothers, and the Heat were not his team yet.

Take a look at what the Heat's players and coaches are doing after reaching the Finals.Since being defeated by the Clippers in the first game of the finals, the Heat's offensive dominance has been fully transferred from James to Wade. At the critical moment, Spoelstra's offensive tactics are to rely on Wade and focus on Wade. James' job is to fulfill the point guard role, handing the ball up the frontcourt to Wade for Wade to initiate the offense.Obviously, the Heat want Wade to be the MVP.

James played more than 40 minutes per game, led the team in rebounds and scored second in the team, and was responsible for defending Ye Feng, who was the biggest threat. What else could he do?In fact, it's not that he is weak, but that people have too high demands on him, and his opponent is too strong. Ye Feng's best defensive player is not picked.Even so, if the Heat are willing to arrange double pick-and-roll tactics for James to help him get rid of Ye Feng and Smith's entanglement, it will be a piece of cake for James to average more than 20 points per game, but he seems to be given up by the coach on the offensive end.

James originally thought that he would be the best actor, but he didn't expect to be just a trick, and his mentality changed dramatically.This depressed mood has been accumulating, and by the crucial fifth game, he was overwhelmed.James' mental quality is not strong, just like a child, the media and the coaching staff are James' parents, they slapped James while giving Wade candy, as if chasing the total score to 2 to 2 is all Wade's Credit, is there such a parent?

When a person bears too much, there will always be emotions that cannot be controlled.When James was far away from Cleveland, bearing the infamy, married to Miami.He thought it was happiness, but he didn't expect it to be pain.So James subconsciously began to choose to give up. "Don't you think of me as a supporting role? Then I will do what a supporting role should do. I organize, cooperate, and pass the ball. I just don't attack. Aren't you good Wade? You can play. If you can't win the championship, who will win next season?" The best actor team has to be considered."

James really had such a mentality, just like the media predicted before.It's not that he's unprofessional, it's just that people have selfishness, and people will have emotions, and they need to find ways to vent them.What James did was catharsis and suffering. He was not happy to win or lose.

Wade is also a good actor. He has always called James brothers and worked together, and he has captured James' heart.For a season, the Heat have been letting James attack, and Wade supports and encourages James.But in the playoffs, especially in the finals, Wade began to stand out.Especially the matter of scolding James revealed the secret deep in Wade's heart: "James, you are my little brother, not my brother." I hid my thoughts for a season, but finally couldn't hold back, and showed it.

If you miss a move in chess, you will lose the whole game.

Wade should think about James. When James stays away from Cleveland and bears the eternal infamy, he should support instead of neglecting him.James gave up too much to be with Wade, and Wade should give the MVP to James as a psychological comfort.Just imagine, a woman marrying into your family breaks up with her original parents, relatives and friends, but she is angry with her in-laws when she comes here. Anyone will be disappointed.th.

The Heat could have been stronger, but unfortunately there were problems with the two cores.This is also a contradiction that is prone to occur in dual cores, but the Clippers will not have such a situation. Even if James arrives in the Clippers, there is no way for him to fight for the boss. No matter who it is, the boss can tell him to leave immediately. Ye Feng has absolute rights , He is the only "emperor" in the NBA.

The Clippers players already have a psychological advantage.

Thibodeau arranged tactics in the locker room and said: "In the second half, continue to give Ye the main offense, speed up the offensive rhythm, don't give them the opportunity to chase points, and defend firmly! Kevin (Love), if you have a misplaced opportunity on the outside, you must take a bold shot! "

Ye Feng attracts the defense. If the Heat let the defense line compress to the penalty area, Love can easily get shots from the outside. The Heat can only let Mayo or Wade defend him. He is one of the most accurate players in the Clippers. He didn't play well in a few games, but Thibodeau still chose to continue to trust him.Love is the priority to renew his contract next season. As soon as the new labor agreement is confirmed, the Clippers will immediately negotiate with him to renew his contract.

Ye Feng was also distracted by Love, walked up to him and said softly, "Shoot when you have the chance. I will ask for the ball in the low post and grab offensive rebounds. If James uses the defense around the front, I will have an advantage in getting stuck."

Love nodded.He was a little embarrassed. He played poorly in the first two games and always felt that he had failed the trust of the coach and teammates. In fact, even if he didn't score and averaged 14 rebounds per game, he should have stayed on the court.He made it almost impossible for Heat players to grab offensive rebounds, which is a key statistic for winning.

Ye Feng also hoped that Love could stand up and score. He had already started to feel tired after running non-stop in the first half. If he continued to play like this, his state would definitely decline in the fourth quarter.So in the second half, he was going to play James in the low post first.If James circles forward, he will run without the ball.

The game started, the Heat is still playing four-star plus Haslem.The Clippers are also the usual lineup, but Curry is replaced by Tony Allen.

Ye Feng walked onto the field and smiled at James. His smile was in stark contrast to the indifference on James' face. It was clear at a glance which of the two was more confident.

The Clippers attacked, and Ye Feng took the ball across the half with ease. No one stepped forward to press. James pressed and was prone to pick-and-roll misplacement. Wade and Mayo were purely looking for excitement, except for being hit. have any effect.

Ye Feng passed the ball to Tony Allen in the frontcourt, and ran to the low post on the right.

Allen and Love cooperated in the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. Allen took a step to the left and handed it to Love, who was 60 degrees to the right. Haslem defended, and the Heat did not switch defenses. The object of the defense.

Love saw the opportunity and handed the ball to Ye Feng who was in the low position at 45 degrees.

Today the Clippers basically attack from the outside, and the Heat's defensive formation has also expanded, and they can no longer keep compressing their defense.However, as soon as Ye Feng asked for the ball at a 45-degree angle, Wade immediately came up and formed a double-team with James, leaving Tony Allen empty. Ye Feng was too much of a threat in this area.

Ye Feng took the ball and took a step back. With his left foot as the axis, he turned to the middle. At the same time, he pulled the ball up with his right hand, cut through the gap between James and Wade, and entered the penalty area.This is the disadvantage of the false zone defense. Seeing Wade come up, James pays more attention to defending Ye Feng's bottom line and turning around, but slows down to defend the middle and hand it over to Wade.The two "one plus one is less than 2", not just on the offensive end.

After Ye Feng turned around, he didn't make a shot. He didn't get away from James, and the shot was likely to be blocked. If he leaned back, Wade might block the shot from behind.The safest way at this time is to pass the ball, but passing it to Tony Allen doesn't do much.

He decided to take a gamble, took a step forward, and jumped towards James with all his strength. James also jumped to block the block. Ye Feng turned around in the air and hit James with his back. Windmill's right hand shot the ball from the left side of the basket, avoiding the two's blocks.

Go cricket! 59 to 46.It was another acrobatic goal, and James' confidence took a serious hit.
