The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 80 [Grizzlies who don't want to win]

The Grizzlies beat the Sonics 105 to 88, ending their losing streak.

杜兰特整场被盖伊和叶锋折磨，17投篮仅5中，得到13分7篮板3助攻。叶锋28投16中，罚球10中7，得到39分11篮板2助攻2抢断的惊人数据。盖伊也有20分5篮板。

After this game, there seems to be no need to discuss who is better, Ye Feng or Durant.Supersonic head coach Carlesimo said that Ye Feng is unstoppable in this game.

The reporter asked the Grizzlies who is the core now.Guy was straightforward. "His ability is amazing. The Grizzlies hardly need to arrange any tactics, as long as the ball is passed to him, he can score in the high post and low post. On the defensive end, he also has a way to limit the people who are playing against him. I have to admit he is better. I will improve myself through training."

In an interview, Ye Feng said that playing a wonderful game is inseparable from the support of his teammates, and winning is due to everyone.

Ye Feng began to infect his teammates with his actions, but as a star in the team, he practiced extra every day, and was never satisfied with his own level. This was an encouragement to other young people.Kobe is a good role model for the Lakers, Ye Feng also has the same advantages.If you have talent, work hard, if you don't have talent, you have to be a stupid bird to fly first.

一天后，灰熊爆冷客场97比92战胜了费城76人。叶锋压倒了76人的头号球星有“小AI”之称的安德烈.伊戈达拉。伊戈达拉16投5中，加上罚球只得到15分，命中率不足3成。

叶锋则拿下16分12篮板3助攻2抢断2盖帽的全面数据。盖伊手感火热，得到31分6篮板。

之后灰熊又客场101比93战胜了芝加哥公牛，取得了3连胜。叶锋又让洛尔.邓吃瘪成了铁匠。本场灰熊发威的是外号“炸弹”的纳瓦罗，他的三分球8投6中。

The Grizzlies suddenly exploded strongly.

Before Ye Feng came to the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies conceded as high as 105.2 points per game, but now this figure dropped to 100.4 points.Ye Feng's defensive effect is very obvious.With his excellent strength and long arms, he can make almost all swing players in the league feel uncomfortable.

The reporters interviewed some celebrities and asked them to evaluate Ye Feng.

Buckley said. "Ye Feng is a tough player. I don't think there is anything comparable between him and Durant. He can lock Durant in defense, and Durant dare not match him at the defensive end. I I think he can easily score 50+ on Durant's head. If Durant wants to become a star, he needs to increase his strength and strengthen his breakthrough. He shouldn't learn from that soft guy McGrady. And Ye Feng wants to become a star, he only needs to A teammate just passes the ball to him."

The reporter also interviewed Phil Jackson. Jackson laughed and said, "There is no doubt that he is the strongest rookie this year. He knows how to win, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of skills. I think the Grizzlies should rely on him. Play for the core."

The reporter asked: "It was rumored that leaving the Lakers was Ye Feng's own choice. He rejected the long-term contract with the Lakers. The uniform team sent him away as a last resort. Is this true?"

Jackson said: "Yes, he has higher demands on himself. I think there is nothing to hide. The uniform team did prepare a big contract for him, but he wanted to become the absolute core. So he chose to leave. Maybe so It's tough to win a championship that way, but I think it's a great pick. He's got a big heart."

Kevin Garnett was also interviewed, he thought Ye Feng was already a star. "Ye Feng has all the elements to become a star. He is talented and has a big heart. Moreover, he is not afraid of anyone. It has been a long time since there has been such a fierce rookie in the alliance."

When the reporter asked about Durant, Garnett smiled and said: "Durant is too soft and too tender. He has a single offensive method and lacks arrogance. The two are not at the same level at all."

Everyone thinks that the biggest difference between Ye Feng and Durant is domineering. In fact, in 2012, Durant was still a very low-key person. He never minded Westbrook grabbing the ball with himself. many.If Kobe met this kind of point guard, he might grab Serena and beat him up after the game!
The Grizzlies have won three consecutive victories, and the young players feel very happy, and the uniform team can be happy at all, they are going crazy.In addition to clearing the salary, the other purpose of sending Gasol away is to show off.They are not looking for someone to lead the team to the playoffs.If the record improves, it will be difficult to get a high pick. How can they pick OJ-Mayo in the draft?The Grizzlies have been coveting Mayo for a year, and they must get this guard with unlimited potential.

Chris Wallace secretly put pressure on head coach Mark Aivaroni, and the Grizzlies were forced to change their tactics. On the offensive end, Ye Feng was the core, but on the defensive end, he was placed inside, as the last barrier The task of protecting the backcourt rebounds and making up the defense was all given to Milicic, and the task of defending the opponent's arrow was given to Gay.The reason is that Ye Feng has a strong ability to block shots and is suitable for protecting the basket.In fact, Ye Feng is better at defending against the outside line. Letting him enter the inside line to resist others and grab rebounds in the backcourt is simply improper use.

The Grizzlies clearly don't want to win.The spirit of fighting here has become a burden on the uniform team, and Ye Feng can only accept this arrangement.The league will not say anything about this kind of poor performance. This is a loophole in the NBA system.

Joel Litvin, president of NBA basketball affairs operations, once warned those poor teams, "If we find that a team loses deliberately, we will take the strongest measures." But so far no team has ever The team was penalized for intentionally losing the game.

In essence, intentionally losing is unsportsmanlike, but it does not violate NBA rules. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a reasonable use of rules.In fact, the current widespread accusation of poor play is nothing more than "Are you worthy of the fans?" This kind of non-destructive words for the team management.In a bad game, the interests of the fans who spend money to watch the game are indeed damaged, but in the long run, the interests of the fans are not damaged. On the contrary, every year is neither good nor bad, and it may hurt the fans even more.For example, in Ye Feng's previous life, the Houston Rockets after Yao Ming's reimbursement, they won No.9 year after year, and they deliberately disgusted the fans.

In order to take two steps forward, choose to take one step back first, which is a feasible strategy for soldiers to take risks.

For so many years, the league really has no good way to deal with the team's poor performance.It is better to reflect on why the performance is bad than to criticize it.To some extent, the NBA pursues "egalitarianism", and there are better supplements for teams with poor records, that is, higher draft picks.It is precisely this rule that is used to show bad behavior. Under the seemingly shameless surface, the irrationality of the distribution rules is concealed.

As soon as the Grizzlies changed, they started to "rot" after winning three consecutive victories, losing to the Warriors, Hornets, Spurs, and Kings successively.Fortunately, although they lost, the game was not ugly, and the fans would not protest.

In the game against the Nuggets, the two sides staged a battle of points.

叶锋砍下34分18篮板2助攻4盖帽，创造了篮板个人新高。盖伊也得到了28分6篮板3助攻3抢断。

掘金黄金双枪卡梅隆.安东尼38分11篮板4助攻，阿伦.艾弗森32分4篮板8助攻，带领球队118比106取得了胜利。

After being in charge of guarding the paint, Ye Feng's rebounds surged and he scored double-doubles in many games. After joining the Grizzlies, his averages per game have soared to 21.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.8 blocks.The shooting percentage dropped to 47.2%, which is not low. Iverson just entered the league with 23.5 points, 4 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2 steals, and his shooting percentage was only 41%.

The All-Star weekend is approaching, and the Grizzlies are 18-32.

Ye Feng's old team, the Lakers, is doing well recently. Pau Gasol is playing at a high level, averaging 18.8 points, 8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. The Lakers' offense is much smoother than when Odom started. Gasol and Kobe The cooperation has allowed the Lakers to maintain the top spot in the Western Conference.In addition, Ariza also did a good job in perimeter defense, getting about 20 minutes of playing time.In order to make up for the vacancy left by Bynum, the Lakers also signed a free agent DJ. Mbenga, and the defense has been strengthened.

Kobe is full of firepower, scoring 7+ performances in 30 consecutive games, but in the away game against the Timberwolves, he stabbed his finger and caused a torn ligament. In order to avoid sitting on the sidelines for 6 weeks, Kobe has decided not to undergo surgery. play ball.The Lakers have a good chance to hit the championship, and Kobe will never let it go.

After the Lakers threw out a big deal, the Western powerhouse Suns couldn't hold back. On February 2, they agreed to the Miami Heat's trade request, using Marion and guard Banks in exchange for the aging "Shark" O'Neal.

For the Suns and the Heat, this is a deal that each gets what it wants.The Suns need O'Neal's rebounding and post-up ability.O'Neill can prepare Tai's ability to attack fortified positions.The Heat exchanged a veteran for two starters and strengthened the two weakest positions, which seems to be good.

In addition, on February 2, the Eagles traded players with the Kings. The Eagles will use shooting guard Anthony Johnson, rookie Sheldon Williams who was selected in the first round in 16, backup shooting guard Tyronn Lue and forward Loren Cen Wright "packed," plus a second-round pick this year, in exchange for point guard Mike Bibby from the Kings.

Ye Feng found that besides the butterfly effect caused by his appearance, the other teams were still developing according to the original historical trajectory, and the trade that should have appeared still appeared.This also strengthened his confidence in using the memory of his previous life to trade his teammates after the end of the season.

On February 2, the regular season entered a rest period, and the annual NBA All-Star Weekend is about to begin.
