Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 229

The atmosphere of the Rose Garden Arena has no effect on the Spurs, maybe the only one that can affect it is Hill, but as a second-year point guard, he only twitched his facial muscles a little, and did not show any other problems. .Obviously, this is why the Spurs are considered to be deeply influenced by Duncan's personality, because anyone who comes to this team will become similar, calm, calm, and able to exert their full strength.

Before the start of the game, McMillan was making the final tactical arrangement. He walked up to Ye Feng and said loudly: "Our main scoring point tonight is Ye, yes, you heard it right, it is him, because he is the five starters. The only one in it who can score points without encountering one-on-one defense. If Popovich only let Jefferson defend alone, then Ye can have unlimited shooting rights. If he can attract double-teams, then according to Distribute the ball according to the situation on the pitch."

He then looked at Miller and Roy, the backcourt starters of the Blazers in this game: "Andre, Brandon, you are responsible for organizing the team's offense. I think this is easy for you. But there is one thing Still have to pay attention, no matter which two guards the Spurs will start, be careful about their defense, because they are likely to rush up suddenly, even if they can't grab the ball, they will force you into the corner and let the ball stop. This will cause you to make mistakes. Stability is the most important thing, don’t pass some very dangerous balls, we must prevent them from taking advantage of our mistakes to fight back, understand?” Miller and Roy nodded.

"Okay, everyone is ready to play now. I think that no one will ignore us at this step. Although this means that the difficulty of the game will increase greatly, we don't need to rely on others' contempt to win. This is right An insult to our own strength. Now is the time for you to prove yourself, the Spurs have always been the sharpening stone that strong teams must go through, so let us try whether our knives are sharp enough!"

To McMillan's surprise, he originally thought that Popovich would send out the strongest combination of Parker + Ginobili, or even a Parker + Hill dual point guard, but Popovich is Popovich , did not take the usual path at all, he sent Hill + Ginobili... Yes, the dignified 06-07 season finals MVP Parker was pushed on the bench by the old man, maybe only the Spurs in the league will have this Kind of weird thing.But it can also be seen from this that Popovich loves Hill. Not every second-year point guard can replace the Finals MVP as the team's starter, not to mention that Parker is still in his prime.

Fortunately, Popovich sent McDyess at the fifth position. This senior is 35 years old this year. Although he has a good mid-range shot, he can't play a game for long.Under the prompt decision, McMillan taught Camby and Aldridge face-to-face, asking Camby to use his own defense to limit Duncan, and Aldridge to deal with McDyess. The reason for this is very simple, Aldridge will definitely not be able to defend Duncan, it's better to let him face McDyess. Even if he can't defend, he can score more points than the opponent. Duncan will have no problem handing it over to Camby.

The game officially started, Popovich did not ask Hill and Ginobili to help defend, but let Jefferson defend Ye Feng alone.But from Ye Feng's point of view, Jefferson's defense is only so-so. Although his speed, strength and jumping haven't decreased much, defense can't solve the problem by relying on instinct alone.After getting the first wave of offensive possessions, Ye Feng didn't even call for a screen, and a large change of direction left Jefferson behind.

Jefferson's face was a bit uneasy. Anyway, he has played in the league for nearly ten seasons. He was also a well-known small forward in the league when he was in the Nets. Now he is passed by a second-year rookie. an insult to myself.He gritted his teeth, quickened his pace and rushed to Ye Feng's side, trying to slow down his breakthrough speed, but Ye Feng didn't give him a chance, and used the change of rhythm to shake Jefferson who was trying to avenge him to the ground with ease. Hit a jumper, then turned and ran back to his half court to defend with a calm face.

Jefferson, who got up from the floor, was furious. If it was a shame to be broken through by his opponent, then it would be an insult to be knocked down now.Jefferson himself is not a good stubble. He dared to fight with the team's power forward Kenyon Martin during his rookie season. You must know that Martin is a head taller than him and is a representative of violent power forwards.But now he is in the Spurs, a very disciplined team, and as he grows older, Jefferson's anger is much less, but he still decides to find his place on the court, and if he can't fight, he will directly score on the opponent. That's it.

So in the Spurs' offensive round, Jefferson blocked Ye Feng at the elbow and confidently asked Hill for the ball.Hill looked at his position, passed a ground shot, and passed the ball smoothly into Jefferson's hands.After receiving the ball, Jefferson was overjoyed and sat back directly, trying to hit the basket directly with a back single, and then turned around for a layup, which is his usual style.But he made a mistake, Ye Feng withstood his collision at the first time, and his feet didn't move at all. The second time, Ye Feng simply dodged and appeared beside Jefferson. staggering.

Before he could stabilize his center of gravity again, he felt that his hands were empty, and the ball was directly intercepted by Ye Feng.After getting the ball, Ye Feng didn't hesitate at all, and rushed towards the Spurs' basket like an arrow off the string.His ability to combine the ball is very good. Even if he dribbled the ball, he hardly slowed down the sprint speed. Jefferson desperately chased back, and at the same time, Hill returned to defend. Ginobili was half a beat behind because he was standing near the bottom corner. .On the Blazers side, only the old Miller was running, but obviously he couldn't outrun the embarrassing Jefferson and the young and strong Hill, so he could only slowly settle outside the three-point line. If Ye Feng didn't make a layup If there is space, you can pass the ball out.

It's a pity that Ye Feng didn't intend to make a layup. When he stepped into the free throw line, he directly grabbed the ball and flew up. At this time, Jefferson didn't dare to make a layup. This foul is really difficult. With his current The level is definitely unstoppable, I can only watch Ye Feng fly in mid-air.

"Boom!" Ye Feng slammed the basketball into the hoop, and the audience roared deafeningly.He landed softly on the ground, looked at the panting Jefferson with a half-smile, turned and ran back to the other half.
