Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 230 ​​So what?

Jefferson was angry, but the consequences were not serious.

In Ye Feng's view, Jefferson is almost no threat on the defensive end, because his speed is too slow, or in Ye Feng's eyes, his speed is too slow, basically as long as there is a little space, he can directly dribble and break through, and he Can only follow behind to eat exhaust gas.It doesn't matter on the offensive end, not to mention that he is only the third or fourth scoring point of the Spurs. Even if he is the first scoring point, he has lost many of the skills of the year. Layups are also easy to defend.

But the other players of the Blazers have been under a lot of pressure, especially inside.Originally, Duncan was very difficult to deal with. Camby had to concentrate 100% to cause him some trouble. Compared with McDyess, Aldridge was young and strong, but this also meant that he did not have as much experience as the opponent. Sometimes McDyess played a little trick, and he would suffer a lot.In addition, Ginobili poses a greater threat to them. His serpentine breakthrough and European step are the best in the league. This is also a skill that is very easy to cause opponents to foul. A free throw, this ratio is already very high.

Camby was better. Aldridge got two personal fouls in a single quarter, and they were all picked by Ginobili himself, and he couldn't dodge them.In desperation, McMillan could only send Uncle Huo ahead of time, which stabilized the situation a little.But in this way, the pressure on the Blazers outside is even greater, because Camby and Uncle Huo on the inside are basically weak defensive players. It is okay to let them grab offensive rebounds under the basket to complete the second offense. Play pick and roll It's okay to go down and directly attack the frame, but it's too difficult for them to score in singles in the interior, so the Blazers must use scoring to open the situation from the outside.

When it comes to outside scoring, Ye Feng absolutely did his part. Under Jefferson's angry eyes, he hit three-pointers from the outside using screens to help the team quickly open the score.Popovich couldn't sit still, he took advantage of the dead ball to call Ginobili over, and after a few words, he asked Ginobili to convey his instructions to other Spurs players.Popovich's idea is very simple, he intends to use team defense to limit Ye Feng, push him to the inside, and let Duncan solve the battle.Because Ye Feng's outside shooting ability is amazing, even if his original shooting percentage is not that high, three consecutive three-pointers will make his touch feel hot. Such outside threats must be guarded against. Maybe it's not letting go.

So when Ye Feng held the ball at the top of the arc again, Jefferson quickly stepped up, trying to seal Ye Feng's shooting space, and Hill also rushed over from the other side, and he directly emptied Miller.However, the Spurs will not make such an obvious mistake. Duncan stood in the middle of the connection between Miller and Camby. The back defense buys time.

The top of the arc is indeed a relatively free space, and the danger is far less than that of the four corners of the half court. In fact, as long as the ball holder is forced to the four corners in an official game, there are nine out of ten will be directly intercepted by the opponent.But now Ye Feng is not very safe, if he is double-teamed by Hill and Jefferson, he is also very likely to make a mistake.But he won't just catch it with his hands. When the double-team is close to forming, he directly dribbles through the gap between the two, and goes straight to the inside like a lightning bolt.Hill didn't dare to chase back with Jefferson. He still found Miller to defend along the three-point line and liberated Duncan.

As the league's top offensive and defensive insider, Duncan immediately appeared on the path of Ye Feng's breakthrough, covering him firmly like a mountain.This is also where Duncan has rich experience. If you stretch out your arms to cover the ball holder, the chance of being fouled will be greatly reduced.But one thing he didn't seem to pay much attention to was that he was a little far from the basket.Originally, this wasn't a big problem, but now Ye Feng took advantage of it. Being far away from the basket means that there is a lot of space behind him. At this time, McDyess has been dragged into the elbow area by Huo Ershu s position.

Parker, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, suddenly widened his eyes. He couldn't believe what he saw, because he seemed to see a tall version of himself wearing a Trail Blazers jersey!That's right, what Ye Feng used was the trick that Parker usually uses when facing tall inside defenders in games.He didn't slow down at all, but inexplicably completed a dribble turn in front of Duncan, leaving him behind.Duncan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and quickly turned around to directly block Ye Feng's layup, which was also the countermeasure he thought of immediately.

That's the right thing to do under normal circumstances, but Duncan shouldn't be jumping.Although Ye Feng didn't intend to go up and make a foul, but under Duncan's giant spirit palm, he chose... to pass the ball!At the height of Duncan's waist, he passed the ball directly. Of course, he didn't pass it very far, but just passed it to Camby who was guarding the other side.At this time, Duncan, who had already jumped, noticed Ye Feng's little move, but he had no chance. When he was gradually falling, Camby jumped high with the ball in both hands, and dunked the ball over his head into the basket. Basket, and roared excitedly.

Seeing this scene, Popovich's face turned livid. He knew it wasn't the player's fault. In fact, in this round, the Spurs players did focus on defending Ye Feng according to their arrangement, but there was no way, the opponent was still too strong. .He shook his head imperceptibly. It seems that defending this kid is not a good way, so what else can he do?Maybe cutting him off from other people would be a good idea.As a head coach who believes in team supremacy, Popovich does not believe that one person can defeat a team, but now there is not much time left before the end of the halftime, and the specific arrangements should wait until the first half is over!

When he was substituted, Ye Feng glanced at the Spurs' bench. The gray-haired old Popovich was still sitting there with a blank expression as he did most of the time.But Ye Feng knew that he must be thinking hard about how to limit his performance, but it doesn't matter, just let it go, targeted defense?so what?
