Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 130
Objectively speaking, Ye Feng is indeed a talented small forward, and his physical fitness will make people subconsciously ignore his bloodline, but this time standing in front of him is James.Whether it's speed, jumping, strength, explosiveness, agility or endurance, James' performance is at a historical level. He has a strong body that makes people feel intimidated. small forward.

Ever since he got in touch with basketball, Ye Feng has been putting a lot of effort into physical training, but compared to James, it's not enough.Whether it is the regular season or the offseason, James makes full use of his spare time for various trainings, and strengthens certain aspects of himself through other sports such as cycling and boxing.In the U.S. national team, he was stimulated by Kobe and Kidd and continued to increase his training. This also made him even more terrifying, who was originally physically superior. It really seemed that he was in the body Embedded with steel bars as well as gears.

After the start of the game, the Blazers failed in their first offensive round. The reason was simple. Ye Feng, who wanted to get the ball at the elbow, did not show his post-up singles skills at all, because he couldn't squeeze the ball at all. James, who was behind him, was directly slapped off by the opponent when he turned around forcibly.Then there is the scene that James does most often in the game, and Cleveland fans also like to see it most-single-handedly dribble the ball and make a fast break, and then catch a gliding snap like a roc spreading its wings.Logically, Ye Feng had to go back to defense, but James accidentally bumped into him when he started, and Ye Feng, who seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer on his shoulder, was obviously one step slower than his two guards, let alone catch up to James.

Unbelieving, he continued to raise his hand to Blake for the ball. Unfortunately, he failed to make a shot in three consecutive singles. Instead, the Cavaliers started an 8-0 start. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ye Feng was completely out of control in a one-on-one situation. fell to the disadvantage.He had no choice but to gesture to Roy to let the captain take over the team's offense, while he himself planned to switch to off-ball offense.But he underestimated James, and it wasn't that underestimated. After all, he watched a lot of James' videos, but only when he stood in front of this person would he discover many details that couldn't be found in the videos.

From the data point of view, it is obvious that James' offensive firepower is very strong, but this is because the Cavaliers need a star like him to drive the team's offense. Just look at their starting lineup, except that Mo may be able to provide some support. , neither Varejao nor Pavlovic are good at offense, as for the remaining one... forget it, expecting "Big Ben" to attack, it is better to ask him to grab a few more rebounds, besides this The hero who won the Pistons championship in 2004 is 34 years old, and he cannot be forced to compete with a young man in his early twenties like Oden at the basket.

However, Ye Feng's most intuitive feeling is James' defense. This man has never shown himself as a defensive titan in the news reports of major media, but his defense is quite good.Although Ye Feng deliberately increased the proportion of running without the ball, James still followed him effortlessly. What is even more speechless is that even if Ye Feng came out of the screen to catch the ball, James could go directly from the wall. You must know that among the five starters of the Blazers, only Oden's size can compete with him, and the cover of the others has no effect at all.

Throughout the first quarter, Ye Feng only took advantage of James' negligence to hit a three-pointer. If Roy and Alder hadn't scored consecutively, the Blazers might have been beaten by the Cavaliers in the first quarter.Not only James, but under his leadership, Mo also showed a good outside shooting touch in the first quarter. The two shot from inside and outside and led the Cavaliers to a 32-27 lead.There is no doubt that Ye Feng has now become the biggest weakness of the Blazers, but there is no way, there are not many wings in the league who can take advantage of James, at least Ye Feng's performance is still within the expectations of the head coach.

After the two sides deployed the second team, the Blazers' offense played brilliantly under the organization of Rodriguez. Batum and Bayless, who are also rookies, performed unexpectedly eye-catching. They took most of the team's offensive burden. .The only thing that made McMillan feel a little uncomfortable was that Outlaw, who was supposed to be the leader of the team's second team, looked cold and missed several shots in a row. Fortunately, he was not the kind of stubborn player. Under such circumstances, the focus is simply on the defensive end, but it also restrains the Cavaliers' backup wing Szczerbiak well.

But when the Blazers had just tied the score, Mike Brown waved his hand, and James led the other four starters to go into battle again. McMillan also had to put up his own starting lineup, otherwise he would really be directly given by the Cavaliers. blow up.Facing James again, Ye Feng still couldn't find a good solution, and his restless mentality affected his shooting. In half a quarter, he missed all three outside shots and missed a point in the second quarter.What's even more helpless is that he can't defend against James. Yes, he is indeed better than James in terms of ball skills, but the extent of his surpassing is limited, while James doesn't play tricks with you at all, and directly uses his inhuman physical fitness Overwhelmed all the way, even Ye Feng got two personal fouls within half a quarter, and even Oden was also affected by Chi Yu, who sent James two free throws.

Ye Feng understood that this was a completely different style of strength from his own. Although his own strength was not bad, he was really embarrassed to say such words in front of James.Indeed, it seems that James' style of play is indeed not as elegant and handsome as his own, but the professional arena is a result-oriented place most of the time. It doesn't matter if your moves are not good, as long as you can put the ball in the basket and lead If the team wins, then you are a star and a hero!As far as handsome, those guys who play streetball are definitely good, but how many of them can succeed in the NBA arena?
A great man once said: "It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat." Of course, this sentence can also be used in the NBA. It doesn't matter whether your moves are good or not, as long as you can score.It's not that James can't make his skills look better, but he doesn't think it's necessary. It's better to further expand his advantages and score in a simple way. Why should he choose those flashy skills?
Ye Feng felt that he still had a lot to learn.
