The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 495 [Behind the High Score]

The heat of 103 points did not pass, the regular season continued, and the Clippers played against the Dallas Mavericks at home.

The Mavericks are very strong, with Collison and Deron Williams on the outside, and Beaubois and Vince Carter on the bench.If Carter now has enough possessions, he can still average 15+ per game.Sean Marion is a peculiar player. After leaving the Suns, he developed a post-up attack, and he can still break through with the ball this season, which is very surprising.With the addition of insiders Elton Brand, Chris Kaman, Dirk Nowitzki, and Brandon Wright, at the beginning of the season they were considered to have the best chance to compete with the Clippers in the West team.The Mavericks are now third in the West, one game behind the Spurs.

Ye Feng changed his style, attracted the defense and started to create opportunities for his teammates.If you play like last game, you may not be able to win the Mavericks with a very good zone defense system.

The score was stalemate after the opening, in order to defend, Carter entered the starting lineup, Collison came off the bench.Collison is now making up for Terry's vacancy. He is young and aggressive, and his statistics are very good. Compared with Terry's performance after he came to the Celtics, the Mavericks have made money.

The uncomfortable thing for the Mavericks this time is that as long as Ye Feng is on the court, it is difficult to play a double guard formation, which is also a headache for the entire league.The Clippers' players are too tall. As long as Thomas doesn't play, the average height is more than two meters. Hinrich is also a tall combo guard.

It was easy for Ye Feng to single-play Marion, but Marion knew how to switch positions with the inside players to help defend, which played a certain role.Ye Feng ran out of touch in the last game, missed a lot of shots, and only scored 7 points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks took the initiative and took the lead under the impact of Collison and Beaubois. The Clippers trailed 52 to 59 at halftime.

In the third quarter, the Clippers sent Love, Pau Gasol, Jones, Ye Feng, and Thomas.Let Thomas and Ye Feng play pick-and-roll cooperation on the outside, and Jones can also play a second screen on the outside.This lineup quickly overtook the score by taking advantage of its height.After the pick-and-roll, Thomas also caused a lot of damage to the Mavericks inside.Nowitzki, Brand, and Kaman have rich offensive methods and can also grab rebounds, but they are not young, they move slowly, and they are especially afraid of speed guards. Thomas is still a speed type who can shoot mid-range.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers played a triangle offense. Pau Gasol hit Brand a few times in a row, and Ye Feng also frequently broke through to the basket to cause damage, allowing the Mavericks to return to the price of fouls.

In the end, 105 to 97, the Clippers won without any risk.

On the second day, the Clippers flew back-to-back away games against the Denver Nuggets, ranked fifth in the West, and then played 4 consecutive away games. This is a relatively difficult schedule for the Clippers this season.

Although the Nuggets don't have many big-name players, they have good role players in every position, and they played very smoothly under the organization of Chris Paul.Players have benefited from Paul's arrival, especially Kenneth Faried, who scored 14.6 points and 12.4 rebounds this season.Faried's height is only 203CM, and his development prospects are limited. People think that it is due to Paul that he has achieved what he is today.

After consecutive campaigns, several young players from the Clippers finally hit the "rookie wall", and Roy and Hinrich were also in mediocre condition.In this game, all the Clippers played abnormally, including Ye Feng.

Faried is very fierce. He can resist Ye Feng in the low post. Ye Feng has a height advantage, but today's jump shot is not accurate. In order to ensure efficiency, he tried his best to divide the ball and break through inside. He only scored 28 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. , the record of 14 consecutive 30+ games was terminated.

Paul once again proved that he is the league's number one point guard.He scored 10 points in a row in the third quarter, opened the score, and beat the Clippers 12-0.Neither Thomas nor Hinrich could compare to Paul. Ye Feng played the No. 1 defense as a guest, and Paul started to pass the ball, playing very smartly.Gallinari, Andre Miller and others also played well.

The media said that Ye Feng was tired.It is impossible to say that he is not tired, Ye Feng broke out this season, largely because Ariel is pregnant, has less sex life, and has more energy than others, all of which are vented on the court.

And whether it's going out to whores or one-night stands, Ye Feng put an end to them, he has to keep his promise to his wife.Up to now, Ariel is still very jealous, and she is not happy when old friends Scarlett Johansson, Paris Hilton and others joke and tease Ye Feng.There are no cracks in the relationship between husband and wife, commitment and trust are the most critical.Ye Feng didn't want to do such a stupid thing to ruin a lifetime of happiness just for a moment of pleasure.

After two wins against the underdogs, the Clippers lost again, an away loss to the Houston Rockets.

The Rockets are currently ranked 6th in the West.In this game, the Clippers' defense had another problem. The Rockets had a weakness at position 1, but the Clippers couldn't catch it, and their weakness was also at position [-].In the last game against the Timberwolves, the Clippers also lost Isiah Thomas.Thomas needs to miss two weeks because of a sprained ankle, Thornton is still some time away from his comeback, and Hinrich has become the Clippers' only point guard.

And Hinrich is unable to bring much help on the offensive end.The rookie is in a sluggish state, and Pau Gasol is also in a bad state. On the contrary, Gasol Jr. has begun to show his power. He has been better than his brother in the last five games.Gasol's average field goal percentage this season is only 46.5%, which is a new low in recent years, and his low-post singles are not as sharp as before.The Clippers can't reproduce the glory of last year's Big 4, only Ye Feng and Love can rely on.

Today Gasol met Zach Randolph, who had a headache for him.This Fat Toutuo has no advantage in the low post, and his height is not good, but his mid-range shooting is really a great skill, and he can shoot immediately after the pick-and-roll is over.Ye Feng found it difficult to defend him. He was round, and it was difficult to block the shot when leaning on the opponent's turn, and his bounce was always a bit poor.And Randolph's touch is very soft, and he can hit even if someone interferes. OJ. Mayo, Kevin. Martin also felt the players, no matter how they shot, the Rockets narrowly beat the Clippers by shooting 5 points.

At this time, experts have predicted that it is impossible for the Clippers to create a new record.Last season, they had the opportunity to play the best record in history and break their regular season win record, but unfortunately the shrinking season ruined all of this.This season their strength is not as good as before, the main problem lies in signings.If Hinrich is replaced by Crawford and Roy is replaced by Ray Allen, the situation will be completely different.

The Clippers were not without gains. The rookies got a lot of playing time. Harrison Barnes played well. Perry Jones was also better than Yi Jianlian. He could not only shoot, but also cut and dunk.During this period of time, the ability to fight has also improved slightly.Lamb can show his mid-range shooting power in limited playing time, but he is poor outside the three-point line and is still training.Thackeray's low-post defense, supporting offense, hooks, and pick-and-rolls are all done very well, and he can also get some playing time.

After the end of this season, the uniform team no longer intends to renew Yi Jianlian's contract. He is too old and has no room for growth. He also appears to be too low-key in the face of fierce competition in the team.This is a matter of character. Yi Jianlian is too honest, accepts what comes first, and doesn't know how to fight.This kind of person will not affect the unity of the team, but he can't bring positive things to the team. He often only plays when he needs to foul and "cut people".Whether it is on or off the court, it seems that he can't let go.In this regard, he is far inferior to Thackeray.Fortunately, even if he leaves, he has enough money.After mixing with the champion, he should be able to get a low-paying contract if he goes to other teams.

After that, the Clippers played many more games and lost to the Grizzlies and Thunder.All other matches were victorious.

Ye Feng's offense is still as sharp, but behind the high score is that he is much more independent than last season, so alone, the team has a loophole.

The Grizzlies are also a star team.Isaiah Thomas did not come back, the back line was tight, and Ye Feng focused on the offensive end, so it was impossible to fight Westbrook, Billups and others on the defensive end.The Grizzlies are very excited to beat the Clippers in the regular season, and the Clippers don't care, they still lead the league.

It was a bit unfair to lose the game against the Thunder.

In this game, Ye Feng had a bit of cancerous potential. In the first half, he and Durant had a great time scoring 36 points in the first half, without passing many passes to his teammates.In the second half, the Thunder strengthened their defense against him, going forward and double-teaming. Ye Feng attracted the double-team and started to pass the ball, but his teammates felt cold, and the lead in the third quarter was chased back.In the fourth quarter, Durant, who was suppressed, showed his power and scored 10 points in a row.He found the touch, even Ye Feng couldn't guard against it, his jump shot was too high and he couldn't block the shot with a fadeaway.

And Luis Scola also hit a key mid-range shot at the last moment, helping the Thunder seal the victory.Ye Feng scored 51 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. The statistics were impeccable, but the Clippers were reversed with a 17-point halftime lead.

Many fans expressed disappointment. The comments on the Internet were all about the role players of the Clippers.

Ye Feng knew that these fans didn't want him to have any imperfections, but he took the responsibility at the press conference.He is not perfect, he took up too many shots, and as the core, he failed to connect the whole team well. I hope the fans will give enough respect to all the Clippers players.

He said: "Please fans understand the reasons for the loss of the game. I took too many shots in the first half. This style of play will destroy the team's chemical reaction to a certain extent. I am very responsible for the team's loss. Please everyone Don't abuse, don't blame others... I can't let my teammates take the blame for me."

When he stood up and spoke, the teammates felt balanced. Otherwise, even if he didn't say anything, the teammates would definitely feel a little unhappy. They all serve him as the core. Who would want to take the blame?

The Clippers ended the first half of the game with an excellent record of 44 wins and 6 losses. On the 13th, the regular season came to an end, and the All-Star Weekend was about to begin.
