Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 254 Kobe is the last word

After the Blazers adjusted, it's normal for the Lakers to be a bit overwhelmed. After all, Ye Feng is not a normal person. His matchup advantage is too huge. Originally, when he was playing at the [-]rd position, Artest could still deal with this guy. It caused some pressure, and it was replaced by Little Wharton, which basically belonged to delivering food to him.Helpless, Phil still returned to the team's regular lineup, but what's interesting is that the Lakers' regular lineup is very similar to the Blazers' current lineup on the court. The two sides may have very different playing styles, but each The players in the position seem to be able to match one by one.

This time, Phil was determined to put Bynum on the bench, so he replaced Walton Jr. with Gasol and played the team's center forward, while Odom returned to his best power forward position. Against Ye Feng.In this way, the inside line of the two sides has become a balance, and the Lakers may be slightly stronger.First of all, Aldridge and Gasol have similar styles, but his experience can be completely exploded by Gasol. You must know that Gasol is the inside pillar of the Spanish men's basketball team, a top FIBA ​​center, and let the Grizzlies before joining the Lakers Be a powerhouse in the West.Secondly, although Ye Feng is stronger than Odom in terms of ability, but he must know that his height does not have an advantage. If the speed does not increase, as long as Odom covers him, it will be a big trouble.

The Lakers' outside line still maintains the configuration of Farmar + Kobe + Artest, which is quite beneficial to them.In fact, few of the Lakers' point guards have excellent defense. Fortunately, they still have Farmar, and they are facing an old guy like Miller.And after Ye Feng moved to the fourth position, the Blazers' backcourt and flanks, no longer have any flanks, just three guards. After Miller was entangled by Farmar, the remaining two faced Kobe and Bryant. An outside gate like Artest is almost powerless to fight back.

Originally, Roy could still make some resistance, but now he is powerless, so he can only run outside and shoot a three-pointer. Unfortunately, it is Artest who is guarding him, and Artest is not old enough to run. In addition, Roy can't sprint and run all over the field as before he was injured, so it's normal that he can't get rid of Artest's defense.Bayless simply became a disaster, and Kobe was facing him, but Kobe didn't need to make a full shot to lock his offense, but he couldn't prevent Kobe's offense at all, this is a normal thing , but let the pioneers dig a hole for themselves.

Although the Lakers were stunned at the beginning of the second half, when they reacted, they exploded with great strength.And from Phil's formation, it can be seen that the team's offense is basically concentrated in the hands of Kobe and Gasol, and Kobe takes more shots. In fact, this is what it should be , whoever holds such a big killer like Kobe in his hand will definitely use it very well, unless he doesn't feel very good. Today's game Kobe seems to be holding fire to play. It is not a good thing to make this man angry , because he will use his score to destroy you.

After Phil made adjustments, it was Kobe's time to play. Bayless could basically ignore him in front of him. Even if he wanted to defend, he couldn't recover.Although Kobe has begun to enter the late stage of his career in terms of age, it also means that he has perfected his offensive skills. You must know that Jordan's most difficult to defend back jumper was when he was over It was developed after thirty years, after all, it was beneficial to prolong his career.And Kobe, as the "Jordan successor" who is most like Jordan, has also done a good job in this regard. Although he did not score a difficult goal like he did in the early days of his career, but now his offense is even more difficult. Defensively, Bayless obviously can't do it.

Kobe's full performance opened up the point difference that was about to be wiped out by the Blazers again. Ye Feng was very anxious, but now he was powerless, and his offensive efficiency was not as good as Kobe's.Whenever he holds the ball in the high post, Odom will quickly raise it up to defend. After all, Gasol is sitting under the basket, and with his moving speed, he can completely delay the high post and then return to the low post to protect the basket. In this way, Ye Feng will be a bit difficult to do, unless he pulls out of the three-point line to give himself a sprint distance.But now the three-point line is very crowded. No matter how the three guards of the Blazers are positioned, the possibility of Ye Feng being double-teamed when holding the ball on the outside will greatly increase. Attack.

This greatly reduces his threat to the basket.In fact, it's not that Ye Feng can't start to charge forward with the ball from here, but there's no place for him to speed up, and there's no room for him to dodge and maneuver, and with the lingering Odom by his side, it's enough for him to get close to the basket. It's not easy, and it's even more difficult to make a move.Therefore, it is not impossible for wing players to swing upwards, but you must have enough space to give full play to your advantages, otherwise you will have to struggle like Ye Feng.

Obviously, the Blazers are now basically supported by Ye Feng's scoring, but his current efficiency is very low. It doesn't mean that the shooting rate is not high, but that an attack takes too long and consumes too much energy. It's only the third quarter now.On the other hand, Bryant was like a fish in water, continuously holding the ball to break through Bayless's resentful eyes, and then hitting mid-range jumpers.In fact, if it was the former Kobe, he would definitely go straight to the basket and make a dunk, or his famous folding layup, but the mid-range jumper is less burdensome for him, and the shooting rate is not low. , and can avoid injury to the greatest extent possible, why not do it?

Under the ebb and flow, the Lakers opened the point difference to 10 points. In this quarter, except Gasol scored 8 points and Odom scored 4 points, the remaining 15 points all came from Kobe. Although they scored 27 points in a single quarter It's not a lot, but the Blazers only scored 22 points in this quarter, Ye Feng scored 13 points abruptly, and the remaining 9 points came from Miller, Roy and Aldridge. What's the situation with the quarter's defense.Ye Feng was not reconciled, but the third quarter was indeed his fault. He was used to putting the blame on himself. In fact, he was the one who should be blamed the least. He directly beat the Blazers, but he still feels a little bit sorry.
