Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 264

The effect of Ye Feng's playing was immediate. It can be seen from this that he has indeed grown a lot this season, and his role on the court has also changed a lot.If it was last season, it is of course possible to replace him at this time, but he must need the support of a point guard, because for the entire team, he is just a point of fire that can score, nothing more.But now it is different, as long as he appears on the field, 90.00% of the possibility is the team's first ball-holding point. This is not the benefit of Roy's injury. Take his command with equanimity.

It's like Kobe standing across from him right now.It’s not that there are no players who used to be teammates with Kobe who publicly stated that they don’t like Black Mamba. In a sense, Kobe is a combination of paranoia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and perfectionist. To endure his almost perverted demands on details, maybe only the US men's basketball team can quiet this strong man.But even so, Kobe's right to speak in the team has never been weakened. Except for a very few prickly and brain-dead, no one is against him. The reason is simple. He can abuse you in singles, and he can Take you to win, why don't you accept him?

McMillan sat firmly on the Diaoyutai on the sidelines. He even thought about letting Ye Feng lead a group of substitutes to finish the fourth quarter. Anyway, this kid has good physical strength and can hold the field.However, he frowned and looked at the Lakers bench on the other side. Phil did not let the bench players warm up. This can only prove one thing. There are expectations.So what the Blazers have to do now is very simple. As long as they can maintain this advantage, when the morale of the Lakers gradually declines, they can switch to the starting lineup and decide everything in one fell swoop, and the game will be stable.

The bigger the Lakers players are, the more angry they are. They can't stand being rubbed on the ground by the Blazers. In their view, at least the Finals is the stage for them to play. Now it's just the Western Conference Finals. How can they not directly crush their opponents? What about promotion?But they really can't beat their opponents, even if they throw the blame to the worst state.There is indeed warmth in professional sports, but more of it is cruel. As long as you lose, you can only watch your opponent reach the top, and you have to bear the doubts of countless fans. Others will not care why you lose, they will only see a result.

Therefore, their actions on the court began to increase, especially Ye Feng, the core of the Blazers who has been targeted the most. Artest, who was facing him, seemed to have recovered the punching and kicking at the Palace of Auburn Hills back then. "Prestige", although I haven't started yet, but deliberate physical confrontation and trash talk are indispensable.Other Lakers players are not as irritable as he is, but they are not much better. Almost everyone is pursuing physical confrontation. In their view, if they can irritate the Blazers players and even cause them some understandable accidents, then achieved their purpose.

But are the Blazers players so brainless?of course not!Uncle Huo and Fernandez are good men, Ye Feng only needs to restrain Cunningham and Bayless, this is a very easy task.The so-called "tactics" of the Lakers did not achieve the expected results, which made their morale gradually low after a period of madness. Only Artest was still sparing no effort to bite Ye Feng.That is to say, Ye Feng's physical fitness is quite good. Any small forward on the team would have been playing soy sauce under Artest's violent defense.

Seeing the Lakers players take the initiative to lower the intensity of physical confrontation, how could McMillan fail to guess the changes in their hearts?Seeing that there were still a little more than 9 minutes before the end of the game, he waved his hand and replaced all four starters except Ye Feng, hoping to knock the Lakers to the ground in one breath.These four people rested for nearly 5 minutes. With the help of sports drinks, their physical strength recovered a lot. It can be said that they are waiting for work at leisure. The shooting percentage is in stark contrast to the Lakers.

McMillan's substitution undoubtedly became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Although the Lakers players still looked aggrieved, they had to admit that the game had been lost, and it was a very useless loss.But what about that?Even if you played 120% of your strength throughout the game and made many wonderful moves that are rarely seen in normal times, if you lose, you lose.Of course, the fans who support you will feel sorry, and the media who are close to you can also clean up your ground on their own platforms, but the only thing that cannot be called a victory is failure, and the score of the series will always be cold.

Looking at the players who looked like walking corpses on the field, Phil sighed, and put them all on the bench in five ups and downs. Everyone lowered their heads, only Kobe still gritted his teeth and looked back unwillingly. on the pitch.He really wants to continue playing against the Trail Blazers, but the coach's will cannot be violated, and he is really a little tired. Simply put, he has more energy than energy.Dragging his tired body and sitting on the bench, Kobe really felt that he was really old. He couldn't help but look at the Blazers No. 3 who was still galloping on the field. He didn't know what he said last year Does he remember those words?
Phil's substitution was not unexpected. Now the Lakers obviously don't have any hope of winning this game. If this is the case, why let the main players be on the court?It's better to replace it earlier and reserve a little more stamina, lest the fourth game will be empty.As a well-known philosopher among NBA coaches, Phil doesn't think it's strange to give up the game strategically, and the Lakers have fought until the fourth quarter at least. It's just 1 to 2 behind, and the Lakers still have a great chance to advance to the finals.

However, Phil will not admit that this has something to do with his contempt for the Blazers. Maybe even he himself does not realize that this is purely an instinct as the head coach of the Lakers. You can call him confident or arrogant. No problem, he just firmly believes that the Lakers can win this round of the series, so it is understandable for him to give up a game a little bit, how to play well, let's talk about it in the next game!
