Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 157
I don't know if Ye Feng's comeback inspired his teammates, but when he came on the field, they were only 5 points behind.In this game, Phil changed again. He used Odom as the team's starting power forward, and Gasol topped the fifth position. This kind of inside combination is less domineering, but more flexible, and the high and low positions cooperate. It is also more unpredictable.But the Blazers' starting lineup abruptly withstood this wave of offensive, which had to surprise Ye Feng.

But there was no time for him to be amazed. The coach was calling his name, and several other people, such as Outlaw and Fernandez, also began to take off their training clothes outside and prepared to go on stage.Ye Feng smiled, and quickly took off his training uniform, waiting for the coach to arrange the team's tactics.McMillan trusted Ye Feng quite a lot, and he gave full freedom to this substitute lineup. In other words, he planned to let Ye Feng decide the team's style of play immediately.This is not the first time Ye Feng has done this kind of thing. The coach believes in him, and he also believes in himself. Fernandez seems to have given up fighting for the possession of the ball. He has already seen the importance of Ye Feng to the entire team, so he is at ease. To be a deputy, and then a three-point shooter.

What's interesting is that Phil seems to be ready to hand over the ball-handling duties to the team's backup wing Luke Walton. He is the son of Bill Walton. , can be said to be one of the players with the highest ball quotient in the Lakers team.It did not surprise McMillan to ask him to organize the offense. Some clues had already been revealed in the last game, but Outlaw is a guy who can only attack. Fernandez is a bit behind the opponent in height, so the substitute lineup Undoubtedly, he was also directly beaten up. This time it was replaced by Ye Feng, and it would not be so easy to come to Wharton.

Sure enough, although Walton has a high golf quotient, it can't make up for his disadvantages in physical fitness. What's more, Ye Feng has already discussed with Outlaw. He is responsible for defending Walton and letting Outlaw defend Brown.Just because Outlaw can't guard Wharton doesn't mean he can't guard Brown. The best way is to bully opponents with physical fitness.Wharton is also very versatile, but his omnipotence can only be regarded as a low-profile version in front of Ye Feng. He was run over by Ye Feng like a rabbit, and he couldn't spare his hands to organize the attack.Soon the offense of the Lakers' second team fell into individual singles, and their only stable scoring point was Bynum.

However, Bynum is also very reluctant. Born in 1987, he is only 21 years old this year. Although this is the fourth season of his career, his mind and golf quotient have never grown.The Trail Blazers' backup center Pulzbila has much more experience than him, and the harassment of various small moves has never stopped, making it difficult for him to score every point.Besides, it’s useless to score alone. Bynum averaged only 1.4 assists per game in the regular season this season. He can only score by himself, but he can’t drive his teammates. fry.

Ye Feng played with ease, and every wing player who didn't have to face Kobe in the starting lineup probably felt that way.Wharton couldn't figure out his way at all. Ye Feng either attacked by himself or distributed the ball to his teammates. It seemed that he did whatever he wanted without any rules.Wharton himself couldn't defend Ye Feng, nor could Brown and Vujacic. The more Ye Feng fought, the more excited he was, and his unfamiliar hand gradually became hotter.This is an excellent whetstone for him, which is very helpful for him to get back to the state of the game, which is much better than throwing it directly into the starting lineup and letting Kobe ravage it.

McMillan also had this in mind. Ye Feng was a little anxious when he missed three shots in a row at the beginning, but later he saw that Ye Feng was playing with ease and completely revitalized the team's offense, so he was relieved.Now it was Phil who was in a mess, his eyes widened, and he had no idea how the Blazers' bench lineup had suddenly become stronger, obviously it was just one more person.However, Phil's tactical literacy is very high. He can see the role Ye Feng plays in this system, and he admires McMillan's daring to delegate power. You know, there are only a few coaches that he can admire.

The next game became very interesting. The Blazers’ starting lineup would always leave a not-so-big hole, and then the substitute lineup would start to fill in the hole, and sometimes even play a little advantage in reverse. This kind of strange see-saw The battle continued until the fourth quarter.McMillan saw that Ye Feng had basically recovered, so he was very relieved to let him play with the starting lineup to fight against the Lakers' bayonet in the final stage.

Ye Feng, who was re-matched with the starting lineup, didn't feel any discomfort. The three of him, Roy and Blake meant that the team had three organizers, and he and Roy could also take care of offense.Ariza's defense didn't have much effect on Ye Feng. In terms of physical fitness, Ye Feng was stronger than him. The stalking defense basically didn't help, and instead he was fouled by Ye Feng continuously.What is even more surprising is that Ye Feng still has the energy to flank Kobe with Roy on the defensive end, making Kobe very annoying, and he is also good at mid-range.

Odom may be the only person on the Lakers team who can cause problems for Ye Feng. The height of the power forward and the speed of the small forward do not have the disadvantage of slow movement inside.But at this time, Ye Feng will choose to pass the ball to the team's two insiders, Adelaide and Oden, especially Adelaide. Although Oden has a good relationship with him, it is obviously better to pass the ball to the middle distance at this time. Be sure, Gasol's experience is not comparable to Oden's.

However, Kobe also started the scoring mode, and the two juniors of the Blazers began to soar.But on the defensive end, he also has to be harassed by these two juniors, which also makes him consciously or unconsciously start to control all the shots of the team, and he enjoys shooting alone.I have to admit that Kobe's big heart can always play a role at critical moments. The continuous mid-range jump shots left Ye Feng and Roy speechless, but the Blazers' outside firepower was even better. He turned on the rebound machine and tried to reload the bullets that missed the target.

But the Lakers have never been able to equalize the points. The gap of two or three points is like a natural moat, even if Kobe scores crazyly, there is no way to bridge it.The Blazers struggled to win a valuable away game and returned to Portland with a 1-1 score.
