Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 336 Gritting his teeth and insisting
The Lakers' lead is not big, and there is still one quarter left, and the Blazers have every chance to tie.

But the matter of tying the score is easier said than done, and with Kobe in a state where he is blocking the killing Buddha, Ye Feng really doesn't have much confidence.But thinking that this is already an extremely important playoffs, Ye Feng still took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and tried his best to stop Kobe.

As for scoring, trust your teammates. Ye Feng doesn't think he can play explosive offensively while defending Kobe.McMillan continued to play the old Miller, and now he may be the team's most reassuring ball handler, when Ye Feng has no time to organize the offense.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ye Feng appeared in front of Kobe for the first time, adopting a standard defensive posture.Kobe's eyes narrowed, and his mentality suddenly became more cautious. From his conscience, he recognized Ye Feng's ability very much. Although this did not mean that he would let the water go during the game, at least he had to cheer up to deal with it.Matthews, who was in charge of marking before, made him feel boring. You must know that Kobe has always been a guy who loves challenges.

In fact, the best way now is to give the ball to Artest and let him play Matthews in the low post. With Matthews's small body, it is very likely that Artest will not be able to support him. It is also the most efficient way to score for the Lakers.Phil, who was walking up and down the sidelines, could see clearly, but he did not wave his arms to give instructions to the players as usual. He believed in Kobe, or he could only choose to believe in Kobe, just like he has always done in his coaching career. like that.

Many people think that Phil's success is only because the teams and players he coached are too strong. First, there was Jordan Pippen's Bulls dynasty, and then there was the "OK combination" Lakers dynasty.After coming out to coach the Lakers with only Kobe in 2005, Phil only won 45 wins and 42 wins in two consecutive seasons. Although the Lakers can still make the playoffs, their status is very different from before.After acquiring Gasol at a very small price during the 2007 offseason, he led the Lakers to win 57 wins in the Western Conference again.But in any case, Phil is very good at using stars, which is due to his letting the stars solve problems on their own many times.

For example now.

It's not that Kobe doesn't know that passing the ball to Artest is a better choice, but you must know that he is a stubborn person, and in a sense, the Lakers are his team alone, so what he made now The choice is—one-on-one with Ye Feng.This is not the first time the two have played against each other. Whether it is an official game or offseason training, the two have played one-on-one countless times on the court. The difference is whether there are teammates next to them.

But to Kobe's surprise, every one-on-one, Ye Feng seems to have made a small improvement compared to the last time, the range is indeed small, but if things go on like this, it will accumulate, God knows what kind of performance this guy will play next time.Although with Kobe's personality he wouldn't feel afraid, but he couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity in his heart, he subconsciously wanted to measure Ye Feng's ability, this kind of weird thought was not even noticed by himself.

Ye Feng stared at Kobe's toes, he knew that Kobe rarely made a three-pointer in front of him, and breaking through was almost the only option, and with Kobe's pride, he would not call his teammates to pick and roll.So at this time, just look at Kobe's toes, and you can tell whether he is trying to test or just forcefully. Ye Feng has a lot of experience in facing Kobe. This is a lesson learned from long-term one-on-one.

Kobe moved his toes, but the center of gravity of his body did not change. Ye Feng stuck firmly in place. This was obviously a tentative step, so don't pay attention to it at all.Suddenly, the frequency of Kobe hitting the ball increased sharply, a series of "bang bang" sounds made Ye Feng's nerves tense up, testing, or testing, left?or right?Just when Ye Feng was in a dilemma, Kobe wiped Ye Feng's left side with a fake move, but at this time Ye Feng's center of gravity remained on the right side in response to his last move.

After being passed by, Ye Feng naturally wanted to find his way back. Ye Feng chased him back while smiling wryly in his heart: He really is an old man. One of the best scorers in the league today!

Kobe's forward steps suddenly stopped, he took off, and shot, and he used countless emergency stop and fallback jumpers in front of Matthews before.Ye Feng didn't give up, he jumped directly from Kobe's side and back, trying to straighten his arms trying to touch the basketball that just left Kobe's palm.

A little higher... A little higher... The tip of Ye Feng's middle finger finally touched the bottom of the rapidly spinning basketball, and the original perfect arc suddenly underwent a subtle change, which was so small that it could be ignored. The inevitable goal hit the front of the basket directly, and when the basketball just left the cylinder where the basket is located, several hands were already stretched out towards it, and the owners of the hands were already flying in mid-air.

But a pair of yellow-skinned hands suddenly appeared at the top and pulled the ball down. Everyone was shocked. What's the situation?Just after defending, he rushed to the inside to grab rebounds?How did this guy have such good physical strength in the fourth quarter?Is he still human?
Of course Ye Feng is a human being, rushing to grab the rebound is just subconscious, his physical strength is not as good as it looks.According to his habit, when he gets a defensive rebound, he must dribble the ball quickly to play a transition attack, but this time he just carefully protects the rebound, and only gives the ball to Miller after the Lakers players have given up their minds. , I hurriedly walked towards the opponent's half, taking this opportunity to recover my physical strength.

Ye Feng didn't participate much in the next attack, he just used his running position and three threats to create room for his teammates to attack, and it was Aldridge near the elbow who made the final blow.Defending Kobe was very tiring. Ye Feng felt that his whole body was very tired, but he still had to grit his teeth to deal with the Lakers' next attack.Now the pressure of the whole team is concentrated on him. If Kobe cannot be restrained, the Blazers may be beaten by the Lakers in an instant, which is unacceptable to him.

Therefore, in each of the following rounds, Ye Feng must concentrate on it, deeply imprint Kobe's every move in his heart, and then make the correct reaction at the first time.In fact, defending Kobe, the biggest consumption is not physical, but psychological, because you have to play hard every moment.Scientific research shows that prolonged tension can make people feel tired, just like Ye Feng.
