Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 167
Although the game was ugly and the fans wanted to leave early, it is an indisputable fact that the Lakers got the match point in this round of the series.Now the Blazers have one foot on the edge of a cliff, and if they lose another game, they will be eliminated directly.Ye Feng is very familiar with such a tense atmosphere, isn't this a replica of the NCAA tournament?If you win, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you lose, you can go home and go fishing. All the hard work of the season has been in vain.

The current situation is obvious. The Blazers' running and bombing tactics have been restricted by the Lakers. To make matters worse, Phil did this without changing the team's starting lineup. The performance of the players on the defensive end made the Blazers' running and bombing useless. This also means that if this tactic is used in the sixth game, the Lakers will also follow the same pattern and directly eliminate them with a candy-style defense .This is the fact that McMillan least wants to face but has to face: running and bombing is useless, and the tactics that opponents can break through just by adjusting on the field can help the team win a victory is already the limit.

He knows very well what the goal of the Lakers this season is, yes, the championship, and they will not have a second goal.McMillan does not think that his team can stop this group of hungry wolves who are extremely hungry for honor. The loss to the Celtics in the finals last season made the Zijin Army feel ashamed. After all, they are the two teams with the most championships in NBA history. A wealthy family.So this season they are going for revenge. No matter who is in front of them, they just want to tear each other into pieces.And now, standing in front of them is the Blazers, and they must bear the wrath of the Los Angeles people.

What's more, the Lakers' paper lineup is almost the strongest in the league. If they fight hard, the Blazers are not an enemy at all.But the sixth game, and even the seventh game that may exist, is when you want to compete hard with the Lakers. When your strength is completely seen by the opponent, you can only use the most primitive and basic way to fight to the death.After thinking about it, McMillan still decided to send Blake, Roy, Ye Feng, Alder and Oden in the sixth game. This is also the most commonly used starting lineup for the Blazers this season. The most regular lineup to fight against the mighty Lakers.

The media in Portland quickly revealed this matter, and there is nothing to say about it. The Blazers no longer plan to develop other tactics, so they just toughen the Lakers upright.They have played against each other many times this season. Except for the wonderful running and bombing lineup, the Blazers started most of the games like this, so there is no need to keep it secret.However, their news made Phil suspicious. I'm afraid it was a smoke bomb deliberately released by the Blazers. After all, only the player list announced before the official start of the game is accurate. Who knows if the other news is true?
But Phil didn't take this matter to heart. The Blazers' starting lineup was not without confrontation. The so-called running and bombing lineup in the last game has been cracked. Forgive them for not daring to fry the same leftovers. Second time.And he is very confident in the players under his opponents. Not only are they very strong, but they can also complete their instructions without compromise. It is evidenced by playing two diametrically opposed styles with the same lineup.So he doesn't care whether the news about the Blazers is true, anyway, in his opinion, the Lakers will directly end the entire series in this game.

This time when he returned to his home court, McMillan did not intend to give specific instructions to the players, especially the starting five players. He wanted to see if Roy and Ye Feng, two guys with outstanding golf intelligence, could lead the Trail Blazers. Drag the series into the tiebreaker.However, there is really no way to do this. There is no special tactics, and there is no special lineup. The team's previous system should have been figured out by the opponent. Now it is time to fight back. It is better to let the players play freely. Perhaps There will be unexpected gains. In other words, this is treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

After listening to the coach's arrangement in the team meeting, Blake was the one in the worst mood. Strictly speaking, as the team's starting point guard, he should be the initiator of tactics, but the coach directly put this life and death power Handed it over to Roy and Ye Feng.But he quickly figured out that the status of these two people in the team is not comparable to his own, and he may not even be in the team's future plan. Now he still does his duty seriously and strives for a Big contracts are the order of the day.As for the command of the team, hand it over as soon as it is handed over. Professional ethics is still not lacking.

After the meeting, Ye Feng and Roy deliberately stayed, and while there was still time, they quickly discussed what tactics to choose during the game.This is also what it should be. Although McMillan has given the command of the team to the two of them, it is impossible for them to wait until the game starts before thinking while playing. Of course, contingencies are necessary. But before the game, it is still necessary to set a tone, otherwise outsiders will think that the team has internal strife.Just like marching and fighting, the most taboo thing on the court is to make multiple goals. If the two playmakers do not communicate well, the entire team will eventually fall into chaos.

Before Ye Feng could open his mouth, Roy said calmly: "Ye, I will hand over the possession of the ball to you in this game. I hope you can take this responsibility." Ye Feng was stunned instantly. Speaking out, why did such a difficult task fall on me?Although I really want to be the organizer of the team, there is no need to be so straightforward, right?Could it be that the captain is retreating to advance?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng scratched his head, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "Captain, don't embarrass me. It's more reliable to entrust you with the task of organizing the team." I will play against Kobe. You should know that it is an extremely exhausting physical and mental effort, whether it is offense or defense, so I don’t have so much energy to help the team organize offense. You are different. You are facing Ariza, although his defense is good, but the pressure on you is definitely not as great as Kobe, so I believe you are a more suitable candidate than me."

This reason is not bad, but why does it sound weird?I came to organize because the people defending me are relatively weak... Ye Feng was a little depressed, but under Roy's piercing gaze, he still nodded firmly.
