Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 344

After the Blazers took a 2-1 lead, they did not directly eliminate the Lakers like they did last season.I have to admit that although the core lineup of this Lakers has not changed much, their resilience is much stronger than last season. Even if they were taken the lead by their opponents, they did not give up. The Blazers were pushed to the edge of a cliff, and if they took another step back, they would be smashed to pieces.

Especially the Tianwangshan battle at the Staples Center has completely become a stage where the top stars of the two teams compete with each other.Unexpectedly, it was Ye Feng who won the statistics this time, but Kobe won the game.Moreover, the characteristics of the two people in the game seemed to be interchanged. Ye Feng shot desperately like Kobe, and Kobe was like Ye Feng scoring points while also mobilizing his teammates.

Ye Feng also had troubles that he couldn't tell. In this game, he alone felt good. After the few balls passed to his teammates were all ironed, the mentality of his teammates changed quietly. Even if they were open, they didn't dare to shoot.This turned the Trail Blazers into a single-core team. Although they only used Ye Feng as the core before, this time they are truly single-core. Almost all the shots are concentrated on Ye Feng. .

Ye Feng took 32 shots in the whole game. This is the first time in his career that he took more than 30 shots, but his shooting percentage was not very high. He only hit 32 of the 13 shots. If it wasn't for 14 free throws, Ye Feng There is no way to get as many as 48 points.In addition, Ye Feng also contributed 8 rebounds and 2 steals. Unexpectedly, he only had 3 assists in the game, which has already created his lowest record in a single game this season.

On the other hand, Kobe's shooting percentage is ridiculously high. He made 22 of 15 shots in the game, which is already equivalent to the shooting percentage of inside players.In addition to scoring 37 points, Bryant also contributed 10 rebounds and 12 assists. This large triple-double completely overwhelmed Ye Feng's 48 points.At the same time, under his marking, Matthews, who has been performing well, only scored 11 points and did not make enough contributions. It can be said that Matthews was completely blown up by Kobe in this game.

In the end, the Lakers won 102 to 93 and won the very crucial battle of Tianwangshan.In a best-of-seven game, the fifth game is sometimes as important as the last game. Under normal circumstances, as long as the team wins the fifth game and rewrites the score to 3-2, it will take the lead. With a certain advantage, it is even possible to directly win the sixth game in one go, thus eliminating the opponent.

The term "Battle of Tennosan" comes from Japan. In June 1582, the famous general Toyotomi Hideyoshi defeated Akechi Mitsuhide who betrayed Oda Nobunaga in Yamazaki at the foot of Tennosan and won a decisive victory.Later, the Japanese chess world quoted this allusion to describe a key game in Fanqi, such as the second game in Sanbanqi, which refers to the key points of both sides' rising and falling, meaning that it is particularly important.Later, this allusion was extended, and many key games in the series were also described as the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain".

But the Lakers, who were excitedly going to Portland, encountered stubborn resistance. The Blazers team was united, and they spared no effort on both offense and defense. As a result, the Lakers fell behind 22-35 in the first quarter.In the first quarter, only Kobe and Gasol scored in the starting lineup of the Lakers. Odom also contributed on the bench, but he couldn't stand the Blazers in full swing. Just look at Ye Feng's 4 points and 5 assists. clues.

In this game, Aldridge replaced Ye Feng as the core of the Blazers' offense. He uncharacteristically hit the basket frequently and showed extraordinary hardness.In fact, Aldridge doesn't know how to play back singles inside, but he is used to playing mid-range jumpers and doesn't like going to the basket.But as long as he is pushed, he can completely dominate the basket with his flexible feet.

And Aldridge played very actively, even grabbing rebounds from his teammates, which was rare in previous games.No one knew why he broke out suddenly, and Ye Feng didn't know either, but he didn't have the hobby of digging into the underlying reasons. If he likes to eat eggs, he must know how the hen lays eggs?Aldridge's strength just allowed him to be lazy, and 5 of the 3 assists in the first quarter were given to the inside.

The Lakers tried to fight back, and they did overtake the score in the middle of the second quarter, but Ye Feng stood up at this time.In this game, he was not obsessed with possession of the ball, but turned into an off-ball style of play. Most of the ball was concentrated on Miller. What Ye Feng had to do was to run, catch the ball, and then hit the shot.

Miller's passing is very simple, he has never been good at passing that kind of unconstrained style of the ball, but it is undeniable that his concise and even some simple passes are very effective, and can avoid mistakes to the greatest extent.Some point guards can always pass some amazing balls, but often such balls are also easy to make mistakes. Of course, it is not because of being intercepted by the opponent. Most of the time, it is because the teammates can’t see that the ball is a pass. Where did you go.

After Ye Feng succeeded in attacking four times in a row, the momentum of the Lakers was suppressed again, and he led the team to maintain the advantage until the end of the game.In the whole game, Aldridge scored 34 points and 15 rebounds in a large double-double, and many of the balls were directly played by him in the interior and then made a layup, which is very different from his previous style of blindly using jump shots to score. , The fans couldn't believe their eyes.

Ye Feng scored the team's second-highest 27 points, also sent out 8 rebounds and 11 assists, and also completed the task brilliantly.However, the best player in the team should be Matthews. Although this guy only scored 10 points and left the field with 2 minutes and 26 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Kobe was harassed by him. Although he scored a game-high 37 points, he got it with 28 shots, and the shooting percentage is really not very high.

The final score was 112 to 105, and the Blazers beat the Lakers with a 7-point advantage without any risk, dragging the series into the tiebreaker abruptly.This undoubtedly made the Trail Blazers fans rejoice. When the team lost the battle of Tianwangshan, they even thought that the team's journey this season was over, but they didn't expect the team to pull themselves off the cliff Back, which has them looking forward to Game [-].
