Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 199

Although he lost a round in a one-on-one match, Ariza continued to mark Ye Feng undaunted, which also pleased Adelman on the sidelines.Leaving aside whether it can be defended or not, at least this attitude is very correct. Defensive skill is the second and attitude is the first. If there is no attitude that is willing to defend, even if the physical fitness and defensive skills are superior, there is no way to become the top defense in the league. people.

And now Ariza clearly has such a trend.Although Adelman is good at offense, he is not a partial student who doesn't even need defense.Seeing Ariza's indomitable temperament, he gave him another high-level look and decided to train him.

But to Ye Feng, Ariza's enthusiasm is nothing, although he admires it a little, but it's enough to simply admire it in the arena, there's no need to be lenient.He is not the kind of person who insists on stomping on others, but it is clear which is more important.Since Ariza dared to confront him, he must be prepared to be completely crushed.Seeing Ye Feng's expression, Roy knew what he wanted to do, so he readily gave up most of the ball. This was something he had carefully considered during the offseason.Ye Feng's rise was already unstoppable. As the captain, he didn't need to be a villain, and Ye Feng's existence also relieved his pressure, making the opponent's defensive center of gravity tilt towards him, so that he could play well. It's easier, and the data can even go further.

Ye Feng did not give in to this, Americans will not be humble with you, they will only respect the strong, and Ye Feng has always believed in his own strength, Roy asked him to organize the attack, which was exactly what she wanted.Now Ariza is even harder. If Ye Feng is only used as a scoring arrow, he can continue to go up to defend, but he has transformed into an organizer, and pure defense is no longer effective, because it is difficult for you to cut off. His passing lanes.And when he was attacking, Ye Feng also began to concentrate on defending, which caused Ariza, who was not very good at attacking independently, into trouble.

In desperation, Adelman still asked Battier to switch to Ye Feng. Facing Roy, Ariza at least had an advantage in height, but basically had a disadvantage when facing Ye Feng.Battier is different. Although he was an all-around player with both offense and defense in college, after entering the NBA, he gradually became a wing with inconspicuous statistics but crucial in the defensive system. big lock.He may not have so many steals and blocks, but he can always put tremendous pressure on opponents, and his golf intelligence has always been praised. In other words, he is a player who plays with his brain.

However, Ye Feng did not rush and completely exchanged duties with Roy. He was in charge of organizing the offense, and Roy was in charge of attacking the city. That is to say, although Ye Feng controlled the ball, he basically gave up all the shooting rights. , He will only score by himself when he is in the gap or when his teammates cannot attack. Under normal circumstances, he prefers to use breakthroughs to mobilize the Rockets' defense, and then create scoring opportunities for his teammates.This made Battier very uncomfortable. He wanted to strangle Ye Feng's scoring, but Ye Feng directly switched to become the brain of the team's offense, and in the case of the Rockets' lack of height inside, Battier had to take care of the inside defense, but However, Ye Feng frequently started to attack from the outside, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

It's also because the Rockets don't have any available soldiers. The small forwards in Adelman's hands are Ariza, Battier and Budinger. Two of them are still used as starters. Two people.But obviously one person can't block Ye Feng. When he finds an opportunity, the Blazers' offense will be completely revitalized. As long as the player's running frequency increases, it will be a nightmare for defensive players.

Although the two sides fought to a tie in the first quarter, the Rockets had the defect of not having a main attack point in the second quarter.This also reflects the importance of stars. When everyone has no touch, they can only rely on stars to score one-on-one singles to keep the team alive. But once the Rockets do not have Yao Ming and McGrady, they can only watch. Watching the players crazily strike iron on the court.The Trail Blazers' bench lineup played double guards. The veterans Andre Miller and Fernandez signed in the offseason teamed up to organize the offense in an orderly manner. With the scoring arrow of Outlaw, the difference between the two sides was narrowed. Quickly pull away.

So in the second half, Ye Feng played very easily. He even had enough energy to go inside to help his teammates grab rebounds. This directly hit the weakness of the Rockets' low-level players.In the third quarter, because the Blazers firmly controlled the rebounds, even if the Rockets tried their best, the point difference not only did not shrink but gradually widened. At this time, the leading side played more easily.Although Ye Feng is not a statistician, his performance in this game was really outstanding, and there was nothing to say. At the end of the third quarter, he had already scored a quasi-triple-double of 21 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists.

By the last quarter, the Trail Blazers had led by 19 points, but McMillan was very interesting. He continued to put Ye Feng on the court and played the rest of the quarter with the substitute lineup.Of course, no one accused him of continuing to send Ye Feng to collect statistics. A civilian team like the Rockets without superstars would probably fight with their backs. It wouldn't be surprising to have a starter lead the bench.

Sure enough, the Rockets began to counterattack when they were nearly 20 points behind, and once narrowed the point difference to single digits.But Ye Feng took the initiative to go inside and cooperate with Pulzbila to protect the rebound, without giving the rocket a chance to reload.I have to admit that this is a clever move by McMillan. Of the five starters, Blake and Roy needless to say, Aldridge's rebounding ability is not strong, Oden can grab rebounds, but he and Pulzby Pulling a partner means that the inside basically has no independent offensive ability. Only Ye Feng can help fight for rebounds and provide outside firepower.With the cooperation of his teammates, Ye Feng once again widened the point difference, did not give the Rockets a chance to boost, and helped the team win a good start with 96-87.

Of course, Ye Feng's personal data is also quite good, he scored the first triple double in the league this season: 26 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists.His performance also made the experts exclaim: "The Portlanders are here!"
