Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 281 Finally Opened

In the end, McMillan still deployed the same starting lineup as in the opening game. He not only trusted Batum, but also trusted Ye Feng.But there is still a little bit of anxiety in my heart. After all, Batum is still a relatively tender egg. It is normal to be nervous, but it is not appropriate to bring this kind of emotion into the game.But Ye Feng's persuasion work should still be useful, he still has some understanding of Ye Feng's performance in college.

Sure enough, the first offense of the Blazers in the second half was Ye Feng broke through and distributed the ball to Batum on the outside.The Lakers are relatively loose on Batum's defense. After all, in Phil's view, Batum's threat on the outside is very small, and he will admit it if he is shot dead. But with his performance in the first half, he can really shoot. Dead Lakers?Phil didn't believe it himself, so when he saw Batum receiving the ball, Kobe just went over to interfere for a while, and let it go.

Maybe Batum hasn't come out of the shadow of the first half. Even if Kobe didn't have a substantial impact on him, his shot still hit the basket's neck with a "bang" and bounced high.However, Ye Feng has already judged the landing point. He directly stuck Artest behind him, easily got the rebound, and once again controlled the ball.Because this position is already close to the three-point line, it is not advisable to shoot directly, it is better to reorganize the offense.But Ye Feng didn't intend to attack by himself, he still wanted to pass the ball to Batum again, although he felt that this was a bit inappropriate, but if Batum found the feeling, the price was still worth it.

This time Ye Feng went deeper, and he was struggling a bit. Of course, referring to his performance in the first half, the Lakers believed it was true and believed that it should be easy to break his ball, so Batum was once again Let it go.This time Ye Feng did it more safely, he purposely pushed into a relatively deep position, which virtually gave Batum more space.Seeing that the encirclement circle of the Lakers was about to form, Ye Feng took off on the spot with the ball and threw the ball directly over Artest's head beyond the three-point line, where Batum was standing ready to fight.

Batum was a little nervous. He was very grateful for Ye Feng's trust, but he was also a little afraid that he would not be able to seize the opportunity again. It would not be so easy to grab offensive rebounds if he tried harder.But he suddenly thought of the words Ye Feng told him during the halftime break in the locker room. Watching the basketball fly to his position, he took a deep breath, trying to relax himself.The feeling of holding the ball in his hands is very fulfilling. He completely ignored the Lakers players who were rushing to defend, stared at the basket, took off on the spot, the ball was released, the basketball drew a perfect arc, and went straight into the basket. basket.

This three-pointer was not taken seriously by the Lakers. After all, Batum has the ability to make three-pointers. No matter how bad his touch is, it is still no problem to hit one or two three-pointers. But can he kill the Lakers?No way?Phil and the Lakers players are still full of confidence and think they can win the game.But they were quickly disappointed, because the next offensive round of the Blazers was exactly the same as this time. It was Ye Feng who broke through with the ball and then split the ball. Batum hit a three-pointer from the outside again.However, the position is still a little different. This time it is a three-pointer from the bottom corner, but the only result is that the basketball still gets into the basket.

Before the Lakers could react, Batum fired continuously from beyond the three-point line, and the shooting percentage was quite high, narrowing the point difference to 2 points in one fell swoop.This surprised Phil. He had imagined countless situations before, but he didn't think of this one: Batum made a three-pointer and directly stunned the Lakers.Ye Feng took the opportunity to collect assists, and sent out 3 assists in less than half a quarter, and Batum's sudden outburst also reduced Ye Feng's pressure accordingly, and now he can return the task of organizing to Miller , In fact, judging from the ability of three-point shooting, he himself is still above Miller.

Phil also didn't dare to ask the Lakers players to double-team Ye Feng again. Once Ye Feng was double-teamed, there would always be someone missing from the perimeter. Miller and Batum both showed a certain level of threat from the perimeter. No way, it can only be one-on-one.This time Artest was unlucky. Ye Feng started to force shots in front of him again like in the first quarter. Phil had no choice but to replace Artest with Powell and let the veteran Take a good rest after the game, the fourth quarter is when he is needed more.Although Powell is not experienced enough, his athletic ability is pretty good anyway, in Phil's mind, it is a good choice for him to entangle Ye Feng.

This was something he had to do, but it was a bad move. Ye Feng's performance made Powell the background board.It is also a strong shot. Artest is very cautious. He always maintains a relatively favorable position while defending, and at the same time avoids fouls as much as possible. But Powell is different. His defensive experience is far behind that of Artest. Even Artest has to deal with opponents carefully, but he has no ability to deal with them directly.

But the most important thing is that not only did they not deal with Ye Feng, they didn't even have the qualifications to cause trouble for Ye Feng, instead they got into trouble themselves.It was because of his frizz and Ye Feng's luck that he was beaten 3+1 by Ye Feng in his first round.In fact, Powell had already stood still at that time, but when Ye Feng took off to shoot, he absolutely shouldn't, he shouldn't have stretched out his hand and tried to directly block Ye Feng's shot.Ye Feng caused his thug foul quite logically, and even threw the ball directly into the basket after a coherent movement.

Powell looked stunned. He didn't expect that he would be seized by his opponent as soon as he came on the field. He even stood there blankly without making any gestures.Ye Feng stood on the free throw line and easily hit the extra penalty. This point also allowed the Blazers to tie the score.Powell regained his composure, and couldn't help looking at Phil on the sidelines. Phil nodded at him expressionlessly, signaling him to continue defending Ye Feng without any worries.

In fact, Phil's mood is far from being as relaxed as it seems on the surface. The equalization of the score will undoubtedly boost the opponent's morale, and Powell is likely to make a mistake when defending again.But what is the solution?On Vujacic?Not to mention whether Vujacic's defensive style is more prone to fouls, his height disadvantage can easily be used by Ye Feng to form a post-up single in the low post, let Powell hold on for a while, and wait until Artest recovers!
