The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 513 [Three Sections Destroyed]

After playing for 5 minutes in the first quarter, Ye Feng only took one shot, scored 2 points, grabbed 4 rebounds, and sent 4 assists.Those two points were scored by the second attack after grabbing the offensive rebound.

He completely followed Thibodeau's arrangement, attracting the defense, pulling out the space, and hanging the ball inside to the Gasol brothers.If the two brothers are on the court together, if they don't attack the inside and act as blue-collar workers, it will be a waste of money.

The Clippers led 16 to 8. On the defensive end, Ye Feng also formed a triangle with the Gasol brothers to guard the penalty area. Grizzlies coach Hollins had no choice but to request a timeout.

ESPN commentator "Magic" Johnson commented: "Today Ye Feng showed his value on both ends of the offense and defense. He played very smart and selfless. When Love was injured, many people thought he would use the routine It seems that everyone guessed wrong."

Van Gundy said: "This kind of play will make the Grizzlies more uncomfortable, and the Gasol brothers have also displayed their power in the interior. At this time, the Grizzlies may regret sending them away. Although Gortat is good, his low-post defense is not as good as Gasol Jr. Er, the strength is limited, and the deterrence is insufficient."

The Clippers have played against the Grizzlies many times, and it is clear that the Grizzlies' strengths are also their weaknesses. There is a big gap between their backup insiders and their starters. Once Gortat and Griffin are off the court, there is no strong barrier at the basket.The Gasol brothers rely on their size advantage to attack, which is enough for the Grizzlies. As long as the Grizzlies' two insiders can be troubled by fouls, they will undoubtedly win.

It is not difficult to win, it depends on whether you can grasp the opponent's weakness.It's just that Ye Feng needs to sacrifice some personal data. He is not a selfish person. He won't let the star not attack inside and only grab offensive rebounds for himself. If he still does that in the playoffs, it will be a standard cancer.

Guy and Griffin alone can't help Ye Feng, but if they join forces, they can make Ye Feng feel uncomfortable.If Ye Feng came up and focused on attacking, if his teammates couldn't open it, the Grizzlies would have a chance.And if the teammates open first, the Grizzlies will not be able to double-team Ye Feng, let alone the low-post Gasol brothers.

The Grizzlies head coach Hollins saw this clearly and called a timeout. The inside offensive efficiency is too high and must be guarded.Gasol has already had two chances to hit Gay in a misplacement, and what Ye Feng did was to pull Griffin out of the outside after a misplacement.

After the timeout, the Clippers blocked a jumper from Westbrook.

The Grizzlies changed to a zone defense, with two insiders guarding the basket to prevent the Clippers from easily launching an offense in the low post.Although Griffin is not as tall as Gasol, he is very strong, and he can still do a good job of pushing Gasol outside the penalty area.

Gasol didn't attack aggressively either. After Griffin defended in the low post, he passed the ball out to Ye Feng.Ye Feng singles against Rudy Gay, protects the ball with his back and leads into the three-point line, walks in the middle and then turns to the right, with his right foot as the pivot and left knee bent, posing at a 45-degree angle in the "Golden Rooster Independent" posture .

This trick can only be used in the middle, Ye Feng is more accurate when shooting at a 45-degree angle.This movement seems simple, and the entire league has such a good sense of balance, and there are not many players with physical flexibility, and it is impossible to imitate it. Most NBA stars go to the gym to practice strength and don't know how to practice flexibility, but Ye Feng never puts down his yoga practice.

Guy was shaken up, Ye Feng didn't jump on him, he took a light step forward after landing with his left foot, and threw the ball to the basket with his right hand.It's hard for Guy to destroy his shot with such a shot.Ye Feng has nothing to do when he is free, he likes to study novel tricks, how to cheat fouls and play 2+1 better.Guy jumped on Ye Feng, the referee immediately called a foul, and Ye Feng made a low-handed shot from a long distance and scored a cricket.

The movement is irregular, but very practical.After Ye Feng made an extra free throw, it was 19 to 8.

The Grizzlies strengthened their defense against the low post, but the Clippers also changed their tactics. Ye Feng mainly attacked from the outside.He didn't have any tricks against Guy, he just leaned on him twice with his strength advantage, turned around and stepped back for a jumper. Few people in the league can block this move.

The two Gasol brothers attracted the defense in the low post, and Gay was the only one the Grizzlies could interfere with Ye Feng's shots.

Harrison Barnes and Matt Barnes pulled to the outside and then gave Ye Feng a cover. After the dislocation, it would become Tony Allen or Westbrook defending Ye Feng, and the advantage was even more obvious.

Although Tony Allen entered the second team of the defensive lineup, Ye Feng played against him very easily.Allen is very good at defending off the ball, and he is also good at defending against breakthroughs, but Ye Feng relied on his physical advantage to attack. Allen had no choice. After all, he was only 193cm tall.

If Gay and Allen double-team Ye Feng from outside, as long as he passes the ball, Harrison's shooting will have no dead ends.Harrison played badly in the last game and only scored 6 points in the game. This time he practiced shooting more and vowed not to drag the team back. The Bears players, coaches, and fans felt chilled.

The Clippers recovered all the shots they missed in the last game, leading 42 to 24 by 18 points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Clippers sent Robert Thackeray, Yi Jianlian, Perry Jones, Marcus Thornton, and Kirk Hinrich.Three big men over 210cm tall plus two guards, but the tactics are still mainly inside.The Clippers didn't let Thomas play, so the outside height would not be at a disadvantage, and the inside height advantage is very obvious.

Grizzlies five Speights, Arthur, Pondexter, Billups, Bayless.Darrell Arthur's height is only 206 cm, and Speights is only 208 cm, so he suddenly fell behind.

Coincidentally, Yi Jianlian, who has been silent for nearly a season, finally showed his performance in this game.He first caught the ball in the low post and singled Arthur, turned around and hit a jumper.Then he played a pick-and-roll with Thornton in the middle, and after a misalignment, he caught the ball and hit a jumper.After that, he played a more exciting offense. He quickly turned around from the baseline and passed Speights, broke into the basket and dunked with both hands.

The ball "Magic" Johnson can not help applauding.Yi Jianlian's movement speed is faster than the Gasol brothers, and he has a lot of offensive methods. If he doesn't have two brushes, how can he be ranked No. 6 in the draft?It's a pity that his performance is too unstable.The Grizzlies were unlucky, just in time for him to show off.

Billups was in a sluggish state, missed two shots in a row, and was intercepted by Hinrich on a pass error, assisting Thornton to score an easy layup.Billups is old, and it is difficult to regain the courage of the past.Ye Feng sat on the sidelines and applauded his teammates, feeling that he could win if he didn't play today.

The Clippers will not be polite when they find the offensive rhythm. They replaced Ye Feng and the Gasol brothers in the second half of the first quarter. Perry Jones continued to be on the court as the 3rd position, and Thornton also stayed on the court.

With Jones on the court, it is easier to play a pick-and-roll with Ye Feng to form a misalignment. Van Gundy uses a two-guard tactic for the Grizzlies, and he will suffer a lot when defending.

The Grizzlies have Billups and Westbrook on the floor together.If Gay continues to guard Ye Feng, it will be up to Billups to guard Jones.Height 190CM vs. 211CM, how to prevent this?
Jones was covering for Ye Feng, and Billups was misplaced to defend Ye Feng, which also had obvious disadvantages.The same goes for Westbrook.Ye Feng made consecutive 3-pointers from the outside, 2 of 25, and assisted Jones to make a mid-range shot. The point difference widened to 25 points in one go.Facing the Clippers behind by [-] points, they still want to recover, unless a miracle happens.

In the second half, the Clippers resolutely attacked the inside line, and finally made Gortat troubled by fouls. Gortat went to rest, and the Clippers changed their tactics again, double pick-and-roll. Breaking through the bottom line, the lateral movement speed of the backup center Speights is too slow, and the defensive pick-and-roll is very clumsy. One acceleration can pass him and attack the basket.The Grizzlies were playing at home, and quickly became impatient. Westbrook began to shoot wildly. Several big men from the Clippers blocked the inside line, preventing the guards from getting in. Only Billups and Gay shot accurate three-pointers. .This is the shortcoming of the Grizzlies, which has not been able to be improved.There are also shooters in the team, but if they play, the defense will be weaker.And if Tony Allen replaces Billups, their three-pointers will be completely hopeless.

At this time, many people admire how shrewd the Clippers' team building policy is. When drafting a rookie, they first look at whether they can shoot.As long as a superstar is equipped with a group of players who can shoot the ball, the opponent can be overwhelmed, and it is very simple to break the double-team.

This year, both Jones and Harrison are in their first year. It is inevitable that there will be times when their shots are not accurate, and their performance will not be very stable. However, after two years of training, they will definitely become good players suitable for the Clippers' offensive system.Two big men with a height of 216cm are inside, and the Grizzlies can't guard against them.

At this time, the Grizzlies' uniform team couldn't help but wonder, was the deal right?If the Gasol brothers are left, plus Griffin, and the Clippers arrange tactics like this, which team in the league can beat them?Now the Gasol brothers and Carrefour, the Clippers lead the league in rebounding, and can also evacuate the inside to allow Ye Feng to easily get singles opportunities.The Grizzlies had the ability to dominate the basket, but they gave up.The ridiculous thing is that when Gasol was sent away and the young and mobile Gortat was introduced, the Grizzlies still felt that they had made a profit.Small ball tactics are popular in the league, and big men are becoming less and less popular, but the Clippers use a bunch of tall players, anti-traditional style of play, and they have the upper hand even when Love is absent.

In three quarters, the Grizzlies have been crushed, trailing by 33 points at most.After only 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, the Clippers replaced all the main players.The Grizzlies fell behind too much and had no hope of making a comeback. They also replaced the main players to rest, and they have to fight the Clippers for the next game.If the starting lineup is not replaced, the Grizzlies' physical strength will be at a disadvantage in the next game, and the loss outweighs the gain.

The fans were very disappointed with the performance of the home team. The two sides competed against the bench. The Grizzlies' players had never played against the bench led by Isiah Thomas and Jeremy Lamb. The score was slowly opened again.The home fans couldn't stand it anymore, and many people left the field early before the game ended.

"Magic" Johnson sighed: "The Clippers have found the weakness of the Grizzlies, and it will be difficult for the Grizzlies to win again."
