The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 71 [Strong and Weak]

Now Ye Feng mastered the best outside skill is the pull-up jump shot.Taking off first and then shooting is actually a difficult way to shoot.This is not a question of shooting sights, but that players must have excellent waist strength and arm strength, as well as a good jumping height and ability to stay in the air.

Tracy McGrady has been injured year after year. In order to protect his body, he hardly breaks through. The offense is all dry shots near the three-point line. In this way, he can still average 20 points per game.

Ye Feng chooses to break through with the ball after the opponent's defense is in position, and it is easy to make mistakes. Going to the low post, Millsap's strong characteristics can be used.The jump shot is the easiest form of offense and the most effective.He has height, bounce, and excellent wingspan. It is difficult for defenders to harass his shooting, so he became McGrady's successor, shooting 6 consecutive shots at high positions and hitting 3 goals.

After 6 minutes in the second quarter, both sides replaced several main players and started a tug of war.

In the league there are some players who are born and killed by each other.Fisher has a hard time defending short guards with speed, but he can rely on his strong body to prevent Deron Williams from breaking through.

Deron's shooting rate is not high today, mainly passing the ball, and organized the offense in an orderly manner.If Boozer is the Jazz's most powerful weapon, then Deron is the hand that controls the weapon.The Jazz are also ambushing Okur and Korver on the outside, who are mediocre and good at shooting.

When Bynum was on the court, he didn't feel that it had much effect.He can't play today, and the Lakers will be tight inside.Kwame Brown was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Okur. Turiaf was not as good as Brown, and Chris Mihm was even worse. His speed was too slow, he almost played on foot, and he would not play unless it was absolutely necessary.

The Jazz played a lot of exquisite cooperation, and the pick-and-roll bursts were played vividly.The Lakers' offense basically relies on singles.

Not only did Kobe catch the ball and play singles, Ye Feng also played singles with the ball.It's normal for Kobe to play singles, but it's strange that Ye Feng turned into "Ye Buchuan" today.In the past, although Ye Feng had few assists, he could still pass the ball. Today, he shot like crazy, and he chooses to attack when he catches the ball, and most of his shots are from high positions.

Kobe and Ye Feng both recognized one thing in their hearts, they were really not suitable for coexistence.Kobe has long been used to attacking with the ball, and Ye Feng has to shoot if he wants to unleash his full power.

Kobe's body is not as good as it was when he was young, and he needs to use feints to shake out space to score.Ye Feng made full use of his physical talent and played unreasonably.As long as he pulls up the jump shot, it is difficult for the opponent to block it.

On this day, the fans saw a different Ye Feng.While he was fighting his opponents, he also challenged Kobe's supremacy in shooting.

Even though the offense became less smooth, "Zen Master" Jackson did not replace Ye Feng, he can now be sure that Ye Feng is a strong player.He is very similar to Kobe, the reason why he has improved so fast is because of the strong mentality!
No matter what industry, it is inevitable to distinguish between strong and weak.The psychological state of the strong and the weak is completely different.

The basic starting point of the mentality of the strong is "competition". A piece of pie belongs to whoever can grab it. Everyone shares equally, and relying on the strong to bully the weak is condemned as immoral.

The strong like to create opportunities by themselves; the weak like to stand beside the strong and wait for opportunities.How strong can a person who waits for an opportunity be?

Kobe was selected with the 13th pick in the draft that year, which is a very low pick.What made Kobe a superstar?It's the mentality!What makes Kwame Brown and Darko Milicic parallel imports?Also mentality!A slave for a day, a servant for life.For those who dare not fight for their own rights, no matter how good their talents are, they have to be wasted.

Ye Feng snatched the ball at only a young age, which was a big rebellion for the team, but for him personally, he chose a path to success.

During the intermission, the coaches of both sides made some arrangements in an attempt to limit the opponent's offense.As a result, in the second half, the two teams started an iron fight.

Ye Feng played a lot of iron today. He felt that the Lakers were like the Thunder in 2011. He was Durant and Kobe was Westbrook.Random guns may not fail to hit birds.The Lakers speeded up in the second half of the third quarter, and the offense almost turned into a run and bomb, overtaking the score.Ye Feng and Kobe each scored ten points.

In the fourth quarter, the Jazz will not be willing to fail.And launched a counterattack under the instigation of Delong.Ye Feng switched to the low post to limit Boozer.

Ye Feng only has two moves in the low post attack, squeeze two times, turn around to the middle and pull up to shoot, or turn around and break through the baseline.Boozer taught him an advanced low-post game.Although Boozer is muscular, he focuses on technology and has a variety of tricks.He is proficient in everything from the back to the basket and the front to the basket. His speed is not fast, but his footwork is very good. Cooperating with the fake movements of his upper body, he swayed Ye Feng away twice to get easy shots.

Boozer showed his prowess in this field, and had scored 2 points and 32 rebounds in the last 15 minutes of the fourth quarter.But the Jazz trailed by 4 points, and head coach Sloan called for a timeout.

Back on the bench, the Lakers felt very strange.A fool could also see that Ye Feng was fighting against Kobe, and he was doing it recklessly.Kobe took 27 shots in this field, and Ye Feng has also reached 25 shots. The two scored 33 points and 28 points respectively.Kobe hit 15 irons and Ye Feng hit 14 irons.

In the NBA, if a foul is missed by a shot, it is not considered a shot and a free throw. 2+1 or 3+1 is calculated hand.Ye Feng got to the free throw line four times and actually took 29 shots, compared to Kobe's 32.

The Lakers played fast and shot a lot.The Jazz doubt whether the opponent is the Lakers or the Suns.Sloan arranged tactics, still relying on pick-and-roll, Deron broke through and attacked or distributed the ball by himself.Korver, Okur, and Kirilenko are looking for three-point opportunities on the outside. Boozer is in the high post and completely evacuates the inside.

The Lakers must follow up on defense. Against teams with shooters, zone defense is not a good choice, and there may even be loopholes.Jackson said to Ye Feng and Kobe during the timeout: "Have you enjoyed your game today? Can you return to regular play? Pass the ball! Let the ball pass! They are defending you two now, as long as the pass is passed It can disrupt their rhythm!"

Kobe didn't speak with a dark face, Ye Feng smiled and said: "Observe!"

The game restarted, and the Jazz gave the Lakers a painful blow when they came up.Okur made an off-ball screen for Kirilenko on the outside, who received a pass from Deron in the corner and made a three-pointer.

Kirilenko, nicknamed "AK47", has a greater recoil than others when shooting. After shooting, he lost his balance and fell on his back in the audience, but the ball was still scored. 98 to 97.

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe was selfless once and gave the ball to Fisher on the outside.Fisher has always been the key player in the playoffs. The regular season was not stable enough. He also shot from the bottom corner and missed a three-pointer. Okur grabbed the rebound and handed it to Deron for a quick counterattack.

Seeing that Kobe retreated a little bit back, Deron rushed to shoot a three-pointer on the left wing before his teammates settled down.The ball went in again! 98 to 100, at the critical moment, the Jazz overtook the score with two three-pointers.

With only 1 minute left, the Lakers had possession of the ball. Kobe dribbled the ball to singles Kirilenko at a critical moment, and made an emergency stop and missed a fadeaway jumper.Boozer grabbed another backboard.

Deron stabilized the situation and slowly took possession of the ball across the half court. The Jazz had to hit a success rate.This is only Deron's third season, and he is already solid like a veteran.He is an underrated star, averaging 18.8 points and 10.5 assists per game this season, shooting 50.7% from the field and 40% from three-pointers. Not many people voted for him for such luxurious statistics. There are too many good control positions.As long as Iverson is still playing, he will definitely be the starter, and Nash and Paul are likely to be the substitutes.

Deron dribbled the ball and watched the time from the outside. With 6 seconds left, Boozer went to cover outside the three-point line. Deron quickly started and went inside.If this goal cannot be defended, the Lakers will be in danger in this game.Even though he knew he was going to be traded, he didn't want to give up at this point.

Deron stopped and turned around and passed the ball back to the top of the arc.Okur ran out of the perimeter and shot a three-pointer at the buzzer. Kobe switched defenses in time to interfere, and the shot missed.Ye Feng hurried into the inside to get stuck, but he was still a bit slower, Kirilenko grabbed the offensive rebound.Ye Feng rushed forward to defend, but Kirilenko didn't push hard, and passed the ball again.

The Jazz gained another 24 seconds of shot clock.

The score fell behind at the last moment, and the ball was in the hands of the opponent. Seeing the time passing by every second, it was a painful mental test for the players on the trailing side.Normal people are impatient, but they must force themselves to stabilize their emotions, because it is not yet time to foul.

Fisher kept interfering with Deron, trying to break the ball.But Deron has a strong physique and can protect the ball well with his back.With the last five seconds left, he passed the ball to Korver who was outside the three-point line.

Boozer squeezed Odom and missed the shot. Kobe grabbed the backboard. With 11.3 seconds left, the Lakers requested a timeout.
