Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 396 The Hardest Moment

The timeout ended soon, Batum pursed his lips, patted Ye Feng's shoulder vigorously, covered his face and sat back in his seat.Of course Ye Feng knew what his chief substitute meant, he just wanted him to find his place on the field, even now that Ye Feng was injured, he was still full of confidence.

But Ye Feng himself didn't dare to be careless. He never thought he was a savior. Chasing 1 points in 13 minute and 11 seconds seems easy, and it's just 4 three-pointers. Fill in the difference in the first offensive round.How difficult is it for the Heat to sit on the Big Three without scoring for four consecutive rounds?Moreover, the opponent can delay each offensive round for 24 seconds, which requires the Blazers not only to attack, but also to steal.

However, his re-appearance not only won the applause and cheers of the home fans, but also greatly boosted the morale of the team.In the past few minutes, they were really aggrieved against the Heat. No wonder Batum looked ashamed after he left the field.Ye Feng can understand Batum very well. Any player has the idea of ​​turning the tide, let alone Batum, a rising star from France. Unfortunately, the opponent he chose this time is not so easy to deal with.

Ye Feng hit a three-pointer in the first offensive round after playing, but this was not an opportunity created by him through running, but a strong shot against Bosh after passing the pick-and-roll at a 45-degree angle from the wing, and it was almost Inflicted a foul on the opponent.In fact, facing Bosh's strong shot is still very dangerous. No matter how bad his defense is, his height and wingspan are all there, but this time Ye Feng shot a long-range three-pointer from a position one step outside the three-point line. The ball hit Bosh by surprise.

Some things can't be repeated. Bosh is not a fool. After suffering this loss, the next defense will definitely be posted directly, without giving any space for shooting. This requires Ye Feng to think of other ways.Of course, running out of open space is the best, but Ye Feng still has to endure the ankle injury, such a long-distance high-intensity running does not mean that he can run just by running, and the cooperation of his teammates is still very important.

The current situation of Ye Feng is very different from that of Reid back then. At that time, Reid only jumped the ball with Chamberlain after the opening game, and then hit 2 mid-range shots, and did not play for the rest of the game.If it weren't for his mental strength and the epic statistics of the previous five finals, it is estimated that the MVP of the finals would not be his turn.

But Ye Feng is different, he not only has to be the spiritual pillar of the team, but also has to make more contributions in official games, a few shots can at most stop the team from bleeding, it doesn't matter much for the outcome of the game relation.You must know that the reason why the Blazers were able to draw with the Heat before was because of his crazy running on the court. Even though his teammates are not as lazy as before, Ye Feng's role in the team's tactical system still cannot be ignored.

However, for Ye Feng, running is a chore. Although his left ankle is no longer as painful as it was when it was injured after the ice application, it still requires explosive power to move on the basketball court. There are high demands on the power point.Even if he wasn't sprinting, every time he stepped on the ground with his left foot, he would feel a pinprick-like pain, and his speed would involuntarily slow down. This is not good news.

Soon Ye Feng came up with a good idea. Although he was still a small forward, he could hold the ball at the top of the arc and serve as a transfer point for the team to execute tactics instead of desperately looking for opportunities to shoot.In this way, it is difficult for the Heat to carry out targeted defense on themselves, and it is easier to pass the ball to teammates.

Originally, Ye Feng thought it was very difficult to chase 73 points in 11 seconds, and he only played to avoid regretting himself, but he did not expect that after he scored a three-pointer, James would break through and dunk on the offensive end Covered by Aldridge, this insider who has always been complained about as a soft guy finally showed his iron-blooded side.In the end, Aldridge's block turned into a chasing three-pointer from Matthews in the bottom corner, and the point difference was reduced to 5 points in an instant, with 41 seconds left in the game.

However, the Heat's next attack was finally successful. This is also because Matthews was too anxious to steal. Seeing Wade's unhurried appearance outside the three-point line, he wanted to make a move. Unexpectedly, Wade dodged lightly. His magic claws, accelerated instantly and rushed to the inside, licked the basket with low hands and scored the ball. Fortunately, Camby is experienced in guarding the basket, and he didn't continue to reach out when he saw that there was nothing he could do. Otherwise, it might be a 2+1 , then the previous three-point chase was equivalent to a waste of effort.

Ye Feng didn't blame Matthews, this is human nature, everyone will feel a little bit angry when they see their opponents trying to delay the victory, Matthews just turned this fire into reality Action only.But although this can't obliterate his defense against Wade throughout the game, McMillan on the sidelines still frowned, stood up and yelled at him, sometimes a mistake at a critical moment may ruin the entire game s hard work.

Perhaps because of Matthews' persecution, the Heat's offense only took 12 seconds, which is relatively good, but the remaining time is only 29 seconds. It is time to adopt foul tactics, but everything has to wait until then. Let's talk about scoring a goal.

Because of Ye Feng's inconvenient legs and feet, the Blazers' point guard Miller was in control of the ball. As an old baller, Miller also knew that time was running out, so he handed the ball to the point guard at the top of the arc just after halftime. Ye Feng, let him distribute the ball.At this time, the three-pointer is the best way to score, and the Heat naturally knew it, so their defensive focus was still on the outside, which made Camby slip through the back door and dunk, and also caused a foul by Bosh.

In fact, Bosh shouldn't have reached out, but when he saw Camby cutting to the basket and receiving the ball, he immediately lost his composure, and wanted to use a block to obliterate the Blazers' offense.Unexpectedly, Camby is old and old, and his strength and bounce have not fallen too much, so his blocking has naturally become a joke.

Camby walked to the free throw line, patted the ball, took a deep breath, and made the free throw steadily. For these veterans, the psychological quality at critical moments is the most important thing they lack.In fact, Camby’s free throw percentage during the regular season this year was less than 70%, but he made this crucial free throw abruptly. The point difference became 4 points, and there were still 23 seconds left. The hope of winning the game has been greatly increased for a while.
