The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 484 [Weaknesses of the Nets, shark hacking tactics]

39 to 43.The point difference narrowed to only 4 points.

The Nets replaced Harden and Howard, replaced Humphries and Ariza, and enhanced the offense inside and outside.Against the Clippers, the Nets had to change their usual style of play and couldn't let too many people play.

As soon as Harden came up, Ye Feng started to defend him again. Harden's ability to break through and shoot was good, but against Ye Feng, Harden's physique, speed, bounce, and technique were not superior. This was like Ye Feng's first two. When I met James this season, it was uncomfortable no matter how I played.

Hayes went to the perimeter to cover for Harden and blocked Ye Feng. Harden broke through to the inside and forced a layup, which was blocked by Gasol Jr.Gasol's defensive ability is better than Love's. He has a certain power at the basket, can block shots and resist people, which are his characteristics.Ye Feng picked up the basketball and launched an attack directly.

In the frontcourt, Ye Feng stabilized the situation, protected the ball with his back, waited for Jones to cover at the top of the arc, evaded Battier in the breakthrough with the ball, and played Harden in a misplaced single, so the height advantage was more obvious.He dribbled inside with his back turned around and made a jumper. This time Howard assisted in the defense to block the shot. Ye Feng adjusted the arc of the shot and avoided the block, but the ball missed.As soon as Howard defended, the basket was empty immediately, and Gasol grabbed an offensive rebound to make up the basketball. 41 to 43.

The Clippers played a 7-0 offensive climax, and the point difference was further narrowed.

The Nets attacked, Howard made a low-post attack, singled Gasol, turned around and hit a hook, and finally helped the Nets open the situation. 41 to 45.

After that, the two teams began to fight again. The Nets mainly relied on the breakthrough of outside players and Howard's low-post attack, which posed a great threat to the Clippers.The Clippers' offense is Ye Feng's singles. He took 7 shots in just 10 minutes, hit 4 goals, made 2 of 1 three-pointers, and caused two fouls. He made 4 of 4 free throws and scored 13 points in a single quarter. 19 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Clippers are 50 points behind 55 to 5.

During the intermission, Barkley commented: "It's been a long time since Ye Feng was so keen on attacking. He should still be able to score 40 points today, and he gradually regained his scoring sense. The teammates are also willing to create opportunities for him to complete the game." The final blow, the Clippers had a lot of offense last season, and Pau Gasol also had a lot of opportunities to attack in the low post, but this season Gasol is more of a support in the high post, and the data has dropped a lot. Maybe this is Thibodeau's arrangement , I want Ye Feng to hit the most beautiful statistics in his career."

Kenny Smith said: "I don't think this kind of play is necessarily a good thing for the Clippers. The offensive pressure falls on the shoulders of Ye Feng alone, and everyone else is like a spot-up shooter. In fact, with the strength of the Gasol brothers and Love , can completely help him share the pressure. Thomas can also take more shots, his impact is very strong. Of course, there is Thornton, but he will rest for three months due to injury, and he will definitely be able to play in the playoffs.”

No matter how they analyzed it, the experts would never have expected that David Stern would find Ye Feng and encourage him to score more points or even score points. This was the main reason for Ye Feng's abnormal play style.

In the locker room, Thibodeau continued to arrange Ye Feng's main attack, but adjusted the inside line.In order to prevent the impact of the Nets inside, the Gasol brothers and Love have already committed three fouls, and their playing time should be shortened appropriately.

Thibodeau said: "Yi Jianlian and Perry (Jones) play, Yi, you defend Howard, as long as he makes a strong attack and fouls immediately, you must be firm, send him to the free throw line, and don't let him make a three-pointer. Offensive you all go outside Pull, the circular formation evacuates the inside line, Harrison (Barnes) and Kirk (Hinrich) go to the bottom corner. Ye is the main attacker and has unlimited shot rights."

Ye Feng was the main attacker throughout the game. Just like the last game, the players were puzzled, but they didn't have any doubts about Thibodeau's arrangement. Many people guessed in their hearts that Ye Feng wanted to get luxurious statistics this season.

On the side of the Nets, "Little General" Johnson asked the players to pay attention to defense. If Ye Feng enters the low post, it will be easier to help defend, but if he catches the ball and attacks from outside, he can only defend alone.Now the Nets lead by 5 points and are likely to win. They don't want to be opened by the Clippers outside at this time.
The Clippers took the lead in the second half. Looking at the lineups of both sides, Barkley said: "In this game, it seems that the Clippers are going to let Ye Feng resolutely attack. On the bench. In this way, Ye Feng is the only reliable offensive point on the field who can attack with the ball. However, if the Nets double-team, they have to find a way to defend against three-pointers from outside."

Hinrich led the half court, Ye Feng pulled out the three-point line to catch the ball, then stopped with the ball on the outside line, raised one hand high, turned his head to observe the situation, saw that the four teammates were all pulled away, he began to play with his back teal.

This season Butler's state has declined, his defense is not as good as before, and his offense is also much worse. Battier can generally get more playing time. The possession of the ball is in line with the needs of the Nets.Ye Feng began to dribble the ball behind his back and squeeze in from beyond the three-point line, then turned around and dribbled the ball to the right to break through.

The Nets used a zone defense. The two inside players were on the baseline. Wall and Harden defended against the inside players pulled out by the Clippers. Ye Feng analyzed the situation and passed the ball to Hinrich in the corner.

Humphries quickly went out to defend and block the shot, Ye Feng rushed to the basket to squeeze Battier's deep position, Hinrich, who has rich experience in the game, immediately understood his intention, and hoisted the ball into the inside lane again.Ye Feng relied on his strength to catch the ball, turned around and knocked Battier away, facing the basket.

Howard got to the basket just in time to make up the defense.After Ye Feng jumped up, he hooked the ball to the corner on the other side, and Harrison got an open space again, took aim and hit a three-pointer! 53 to 55.

Ye Feng is now very good at combining shooting, breakthrough and scoring.If Ye Feng was a person who likes to make strong shots against double teams, the opponent would be very happy, but unfortunately he is not.

The Nets' offense was still on the inside. Howard had an obvious advantage over Yi Jianlian. He squeezed two steps after receiving the ball. When he turned around, Yi Jianlian made a foul.

The Nets sent a foul ball and passed it to Howard. Howard turned around this time. Yi Jianlian hit his hand firmly and knocked the ball off. Howard jumped up without the ball in his hand. The action was exaggerated, and the referee also awarded a free throw. .

Howard made 8 of 4 free throws in the first half and performed poorly. This time he missed two free throws and Yi Jianlian scored a backcourt rebound.

In these two seasons, Howard's free throw percentage was only about 50%, which was worse than that of O'Neal. The shooting problem also restricted him from becoming a dominant super center.

As early as the summer when the Lakers traded, many people predicted that Andrew Bynum might surpass Dwight Howard in the new season.Lakers legend James Worthy is one.Worthy has always been a low-key person, and he is not too keen on expressing his views on some hot topics, but this time it is an exception. He is very dissatisfied with the Lakers' trade.

Worthy said at an event, "I admire Bynum. Not only is he young, but he is as good as Howard now. The trade of him for Iguodala, Meeks, and draft picks is simply stupid."

In Worthy's eyes, "Little Shark" Bynum has the potential to become a big player, and Worthy even expressed a little dislike for "Warcraft" Howard. "Bynum is still improving, but Howard, in my opinion, loves to talk. He talks too much. I'm an old school, so I prefer to see players talk about their performance on the court, but he is all day long. They are all hyping and talking. This is not respected by veteran players. They just want to watch you play and understand your ability on the court. As for Nene introduced by the Lakers, he is not at the same level as Bynum. I I think the Lakers should work hard to enter the playoffs in the new season."

The 26-year-old Howard is 2 years older than Bynum, and his main statistics last season are not much better than Bynum.These comparisons have also attracted a lot of controversy. Howard is the core of the Nets and has a lot of low-post offenses, but Bynum is only the third scoring point for the Lakers and is responsible for rebounding Kobe.

Many experts believe that Bynum shoots better than Howard, and if he takes more shots, he may dominate the game.Of course, Bynum also has his own problems. He lacks stable performance and his mind is not mature enough.His irrational behavior and remarks, as well as some of his actions off the court, have made him the object of ridicule and attack by many fans and experts.However, Bynum's data this season has made people's eyes shine, better than Howard, at least no one dares to foul him casually.

The entire league knows Howard's weakness, and this round can be regarded as Yi Jianlian's defensive success, although he paid the price of fouls.

The Clippers attacked, and the ball was handed to Ye Feng. It was still the same style of play. He first passed to Hinrich on the baseline, and then to the deep inside. Ye Feng.Battier was the main defense in the low post, Humphries didn't dare to let go of Hinrich to double-team, Howard was worried that Harrison would make another three-pointer, so he didn't make up the defense.

Ye Feng predicted that the opponent would not easily double-team, leaned on Battier and took two steps inside, turned to the middle and threw the ball in with his right hand! 55 flat!
In addition to skills and tactics for a strong team, the momentum of the game is also very important.The Clippers are an amazing team. Even if the opponent leads by more than 10 points, they can make the opponent fans feel nervous when they score a goal, as if the gap will be wiped out in an instant.

Now that the score has just been tied, many Nets fans already feel that the home team is about to lose.

Barkley also felt the same way. He said: "The Nets' zone defense has been broken, and there will be loopholes if they are double-teamed or not. Battier is no match for Ye Feng."

Kenny Smith said: "I think the Nets should make some adjustments, such as letting Howard guard Ye Feng."

Barkley said with a smile: "Then Howard must be allowed to go to the perimeter and give up the defense of the low post. Switching defenses is not acceptable. As long as the switching is slow, Ye Feng will jump directly. If the Nets still want to win, I think they should be in Guaranteed higher efficiency on offense."

The game continued, and the balance of victory began to lean towards the Clippers.
