Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 391 Unstoppable
As a natural offensive player, Ye Feng is now unable to think about his role on the defensive end, and is just defending James with his instinct.But to my surprise, the effect was not bad. James was a bit depressed because of being entangled. What if he agreed to blow up Ye Feng on the offensive end?
In fact, Ye Feng is now outside the Blazers' defensive system, and he has identified James. No matter whether the latter is holding the ball or not, he will follow him like a piece of brown sugar, sticking to it. , And wait for an opportunity to steal the pass from the Heat player to James.Obviously, Spoelstra's previous instructions to James were only half implemented. James did ask for more balls to single Ye Feng, but the effect was mediocre.

However, Ye Feng did not plan to spend too much effort on the defensive end. It is very good to be able to limit James to 42% shooting. You must know that although the Heat are now 1 to 3 behind, James is the strongest in the league after Kobe Player, his personal data is still very strong. He averaged 26.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game. His shooting percentage is as high as 54.1%. It can be said that Ye Feng's restrictions on him have achieved the expected effect .

It is understandable for Ye Feng to spend more effort on the offensive end.Although the head coach retained the other two starting players besides him, the two guys, Mills and Ayers, are obviously inferior to the main players, even though McMillan's initial idea was to let them come up and take this As time passed, Ye Feng still hoped to mobilize their enthusiasm on the offensive end and bring more help to the team. Leaving aside other things, at least the score must be tied.

Fortunately, Mills said that the new star of the Australian national team has shown a good ability to break through with the ball and long-range shots, and he is crazy personally. Ye Feng does not need to worry about his lack of fighting spirit. The key is Ayers.Ye Feng knew what the head coach meant by replacing Ayers. Cunningham would be better at restricting Bosh, but Ayers had one of the most obvious purposes, which was to help the team protect rebounds and even It's an offensive rebound.

Of course Ye Feng knew that Ayers was good at rebounding, and most of his points came from the second attack after grabbing the offensive rebound. Ailes does not yet have the attributes of a mid-range shot, but the pick-and-roll roll is enough.

Of course, Camby is also a good choice, but firstly, he has a lot of pressure on the defensive end, and secondly, Camby is already relatively old. If Oden is not injured, he may only need to play in the reserve lineup. , The top starting center position is also a bit of a last resort.

However, Ye Feng didn't want to simply let Ayres play the pick-and-roll. He continuously used his shooting ability to pull out the Heat's inside defense, and the basket naturally became relatively empty. After Bosh went out, only Haslem was left. people.This time is a good opportunity for Ayers. He is unstoppable for a big man like him. All kinds of empty cut dunks caused overwhelming boos from the Heat fans, but he showed off his strong biceps unscrupulously. The head muscles challenged the fans.

I have to say that the continuous air cut dunks can still improve morale. The Blazers overtook the score in one breath. McMillan is not in a hurry now. There is only one and a half minutes left before the end of the third quarter. Use it directly The above lineup will survive.

Under Ye Feng's frantic running, everyone lived up to the head coach's expectations. At the end of the third quarter, they led 88-85 by 3 points.These 3 points do not seem to be many, and they are negligible compared to the previous games, but only those who have been watching today's game know how difficult it is for the Blazers to overtake by 3 points. The noise of their drums has also subsided, and almost everyone looked at the owner of the No. 3 jersey on the Trail Blazers bench with complicated eyes.

In the NBA, it is common for home team fans to crazily spray players of the visiting team. After all, if the opponent wins, the team will lose. Except for teams that are disappointed, like the Knicks or something...

However, as long as you play irrefutable performance in the game, even the home fans may applaud you because you conquered them.This kind of respect and admiration has nothing to do with winning or losing. It is only related to some characteristics of the players in the game. There are not many players who are called MVP when they are away in the league, but this kind of thing still happens, and the number of times is not few.Although Ye Feng hasn't enjoyed this treatment yet, the reduced volume of the Heat fans shows a lot of things.

The head coaches of both sides are busy arranging the match for the fourth quarter. McMillan looked at Ye Feng worriedly. This guy looks like he was just fished out of the water. A small puddle of sweat, how long has it been since the game?Can he hold out in the fourth quarter?

McMillan was almost about to tell Ye Feng to give up the game, but Ye Feng obviously knew what the coach wanted to say, he shook his head slowly, and whispered: "Victory is in sight, coach, you won't let it go now. Shall I get off? In that case, the 3-point lead won’t last long.”

No one refuted Ye Feng's words. Every Trail Blazers player knew that if Ye Feng hadn't stepped forward and used this extremely exhausting overdraft style, the team's game would have been suspended.If Ye Feng were to leave the field, they wouldn't be able to maintain such a weak lead for long, and it would be impossible to talk about winning the game. It would be good if they didn't get blown away by their opponents.It's not that they didn't see Ye Feng's tired look, but in order to win the game, they had to admit that Ye Feng had to stay on the court for as long as possible, at least until he had a double-digit lead before he could rest .

To be honest, McMillan really didn't want to keep Ye Feng on the court. After all, the next game will be back at the Blazers' home court. With the addition of home fans, the probability of winning the championship will increase a little bit.But this game has reached a fever pitch. If Ye Feng is directly replaced and the game is lost, he can't even imagine the blow to morale. Maybe he will be dragged into the tiebreaker by the Heat. So is he sure about the tiebreaker? ?No, no coach dared to say that he would definitely lead the team to win Game [-] of the Finals, not even Auerbach.

Then let Ye Feng continue to play, success or failure depends on the last 12 minutes.
