The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 398 [Unstoppable! 20 to 2 shock wave! 】

After playing for 3 minutes, the Warriors finally hit the first ball by Lowry's breakthrough throw.In a fast team like the Warriors, Lowry gradually has a star shadow, but the Clippers have more than one or two star shadows.

Curry took the ball to the frontcourt, Ye Feng and Smith opened up the defense, Love went to the outside to cover Curry, Curry broke through from the left side to the inside with the ball, and Biedrins switched defenses.

There was a dislocation on the court, Curry passed the ball to Smith, who passed it to Ye Feng who was running, Ye Feng took advantage of the cover to get rid of Rush and ran outside, and after the dislocation, he faced Ellis.He could use his height advantage to pull up a jumper but didn't make it, and handed it over to Love at the top of the arc.

Love and Lowry are the most obvious misalignment on the court, and they scored with a three-pointer! 13 to 2.

Love practiced shooting wildly during the holidays, and he became more confident in his shots.He knows what role he plays in the Clippers. When there is not much possession of the ball, shooting can help the team the most.

The Warriors attacked, and Ellis was entangled by Ye Feng again, unable to break through after receiving the ball.When Ellis encounters most guards in the league, he can rely on his speed to blow up opponents, but when he meets someone who can keep up with his speed and is strong, such as Wade, he can only be blown up.Ellis's shooting is not as sharp as the breakthrough, otherwise he would not have fallen to the second round that year.
"What is this bastard doing to guard me if he doesn't play forward?" Ellis cursed inwardly.

In the past, Ye Feng only faced Ellis when defending pick-and-rolls. This season, Ye Feng decided to swing between the 1st and 2nd positions on the outside and started the main defense.His defense does make guards uncomfortable, and the offense is capable of more mismatches.

Ellis failed to make a breakthrough and had to pass the ball again. After several passes, the ball was handed over to the low post David Lee singles Paul Gasol.

David Lee has rich offensive methods and is also a double-double machine. When the outside line cannot be opened, the Warriors players will hand over the ball to him.He dribbled the ball with Gasol's back for two steps, with a slight advantage in strength, and went a little deeper into the basket. He took the ball with his left foot as the axis, his right shoulder swayed slightly, and he quickly turned to the baseline, and took a big step with his right foot Step ready to shoot with one hand.Gasol is better at playing footwork than David Lee. He saw through his fake moves, blocked the baseline breakthrough route with one step, and raised his arms to block the shooting angle.

Gasol's low-post defense is still relatively tight. He has poor jumping ability, but he can keep up with people.In the Grizzlies, Blake Griffin and Gasol, who are super physical, can't take advantage of the singles.

Seeing that there was no shot from an angle, David Lee passed the ball hastily to the outside line, Ye Feng had quick eyes and quick hands, and blocked the ball in the passing route. Seeing that the ball was about to go out of the baseline, he took a big step out of the baseline to save the ball. Smith responded in time, held the ball in his arms, and made a successful steal.

All the fans applauded Ye Feng together.He started to show off, but the Warriors players have not yet entered the game state.

The Clippers attacked, Love pulled to the perimeter, Ye Feng used the cover to run without the ball to get rid of Rush to catch the ball, Gasol pulled to the high post to perform a second pick-and-roll for him, and left the low post to Smith.

Biedrins and David Lee both defended, and the Clippers evacuated the inside line, forming a dislocation again.When Smith went to the low post, he still formed a triangle with the peripheral players.The Clippers' triangle offense played a tacit understanding. Ye Feng used the screen to break through from the left, dribbled the ball from his crotch and retreated to distance himself from David Lee. Smith caught the ball and turned to the middle with Ellis, throwing the ball with one hand, very easy. 15 to 2.

Warriors coach Mark Jackson requested a timeout. The Warriors couldn't prevent the Clippers' offense at all and had to make adjustments.

Barkley said: "This game may have an astonishing difference in points. The strength gap between the two teams is too great. After Paul Gasol arrived in the Clippers, he was like a fish in water. The Clippers' interior defense seems to have improved. Although Gasol did not McGee has such a strong athletic ability, but he is much tighter on defense alone. The offensive end is also better than McGee. The pick-and-roll is very good. Smith is in the low post, and Ellis will definitely not be able to defend. If David Lee does not follow Come out, Ellis is too short for Gasol. Kenny, what do you think should be done at this time?"

Kenny Smith thought for a while and said: "I think if the Warriors want to prevent the Clippers from attacking, they can only make substitutions. Lowry and Ellis can't stay on the court together, and the Clippers use their height advantage to play. Except Curry Everyone else scored. The Warriors’ bench doesn’t have a strong swingman, so there will be a dislocation anyway. Ye Feng hasn’t made an attack yet, and the Clippers will win this game.”

Barkley said: "The Clippers now have a clear division of labor. There is a chemical reaction between Ye Feng, Gasol, Smith, and Love, and their positions do not overlap. When it comes to chemical reactions, the Heat must be mentioned. Wade and James have not been separated this season. The two of them have overlapping positions and monopolize the ball. It is difficult for Bosh to play, resulting in 1+1+1 being less than 3. In terms of separation, Bosh, who is now at his peak, should not be inferior to his old age. Garnett, James and Wade can even beat Pierce and Ray Allen, but the gap between the two teams is not that big. I think the Heat should learn from the Clippers in terms of team building and player selection. Paul Garnett Saul is a great fit for the Clippers, an excellent addition."

Kenny Smith laughed and said, "Didn't you say Gasol was a softie last season?"

Barkley said: "Pau Gasol is very soft, but with Ye Feng and Smith here, the Clippers don't need him to dominate the low post, as long as he and Love can evacuate the inside line. And Gasol is in the low post Offensively, too."

Warriors coach Mark Jackson feels very embarrassed now. He accepted an interview with reporters before and bluntly stated that the team's goal for the new season is the playoffs.

The reporter asked him what he thought of the first game against the Clippers. Jackson said: "We will try our best to get off to a good start in the opening game of the Christmas game. We will face the strongest team at that time. It will be very difficult, but we will not be afraid. , and strive to play at the best level."

At the same time, Jackson also praised Ellis, saying that he is a player with excellent offense and defense, and a qualified core. Now this core has become a defensive loophole at the beginning. The Warriors trailed by 13 points and almost lost.The impact of Lowry and Ellis is their trump card, but they can't break into the inside line, and the defense can't prevent it.

Jackson replaced Lowry, let Ellis go to the first position, and replaced the rookie shooting guard Klay Thompson with a height of 201 cm and a weight of 93 kg to increase the height of the perimeter.

On the side of the Clippers, Thibodeau didn’t plan to make a substitution. He didn’t even use the tactical board. Beats the Warriors in a fraction of the time."

Ye Feng said loudly: "It's time for the performance, brothers, get ready, attract the defense, I will pass the ball to you."

Smith has the bounce, Gasol has the height, they fight for offensive rebounds, and they will definitely be able to contain the Warriors' inside line. Thibodeau suspects that the Warriors will find ways to prevent dislocations and pick-and-rolls. What they have to do is to shift the focus of offense from the inside to the outside. Ye Feng's 198cm and 95kg Rush has a clear advantage in singles.

When the timeout expires, the game begins.Ye Feng saw an unfamiliar face being replaced, and Lowry got off, and said loudly: "Stephen, take care of that rookie, and Ellis will continue to leave it to me."

"No problem." Curry followed Thompson.

In Ye Feng's previous life, Thompson was Curry and Ellis' backup. He didn't play well until Curry was injured. Ye Feng believed that Curry should be able to defend.

The Warriors’ offense still relies on pick-and-rolls. Mark Jackson just took over as the coach. He arranged a lot of anti-running cuts but it was difficult to pass the open space. The frontcourt singled out Ye Feng, David Lee covered Rush, Gasol switched and followed, Ellis passed to Rush, the latter broke through with the ball, Gasol followed from the side, and did not lose , Rush passed the ball to Thompson again.

This was Thomson's first regular season game. The coach didn't know much about him. He didn't arrange for him to rely on his height advantage to make a strong shot. After taking two steps, he passed to Ellis. Ye Feng followed and spread his doubles beside Ellis. The arms kept entangled, he was tall and his arms were long, Ellis couldn't break through at all.The level of Ye Feng's best defensive player has been displayed. If there is no space left, even if Ellis can open up a little space, Ye Feng can still chase the cap.It's not that Ellis can't make shots, but it's difficult to even shoot without relying on pick-and-rolls.

Biedrins set another screen for Rush, who ran outside and Ellis passed the ball again.Le Fu followed. The 24 seconds were approaching, and Rush shot an outside jumper. Under the interference of Love, the ball bounced out of the frame.Love's defensive ability has been improving. After the arrival of Gasol, he does not have to protect the backcourt rebounds at the basket.

Gasol took the backcourt rebound and passed it to Curry, and Curry handed it to Ye Feng.Misplaced again, Ye Feng dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed direction, pushing away Ellis to break through, and rushed into the three-point line in the middle.

Biedrins chased up from behind and wanted to block the shot, Love yelled "Four!" Ye Feng immediately stopped and turned around to pass the ball out of the outside line, and he went inside to grab a rebound.Ellis defended, Love felt no pressure at all, and made a three-pointer from a 60-degree angle on the right side, making a steady hit! 18 to 2.

Barkley exclaimed: "16 points difference, and the Clippers are now shooting all shots."

Kenny Smith said: "A miracle may happen in this game. I don't know how many points the Clippers scored in the first quarter."

The Warriors' offense still didn't improve, and the whole team misfired.David Lee caught the ball in the low post and singled Gasol. He took two steps to dribble the ball to widen the distance and turned around to shoot.

The Clippers attacked, Ye Feng received the ball in two steps outside the penalty area on the right, and played Rush with his back, and his teammates pulled away.Ye Feng arched to the edge of the penalty area a few times, his left shoulder swayed slightly, he turned to the right and made a jumper, and shot again from a 45-degree angle! 20 to 2.

The Clippers' offense is unstoppable!
