Text Chapter 515 [Suspense]

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After coming on the court in the second quarter, Ye Feng still played very flexibly, running, picking and rolling, and looking for misplaced opportunities to attack.

    In the regular season, Ye Feng didn't care much about the number of shots and scoring efficiency in order to score 40+, but now he cherishes every shot opportunity.

    This way of playing is more reasonable.  The team gradually changed from the triangle offense to Princeton who constantly passed the ball and shared the ball. The offense was pleasing to the eye.  Gasol and Ye Feng switched between high and low posts, leaving the Grizzlies defense at a loss.  Once the Clippers' role players find the feel, their offense will be unstoppable.

    Neither Gay nor Griffin can guard Ye Feng one-on-one.  After replacing Billups at No. 2, the Grizzlies' defense was even worse.  As long as Billups double-teams, Ye Feng will immediately pass the ball to Harrison Barnes or Perry Jones.  Let the new guys shoot.  Although they lack experience, their talents are still there.  The two of them are lucky to have a good boss who can attract double teams. They can slowly develop their touch over several seasons, which is promising.  Just like when Kobe Bryant met O'Neal, the No. 13 pick not only made a splash, but also made the team's original boss leave.

    At halftime, the Clippers led 63 to 49.

    Westbrook and Griffin led the team to counterattack in the second half, hitting a wave of 8-0. Afterwards, Ye Feng gave Griffin and Westbrook a big block each, suppressing the Grizzlies' momentum.  During the regular season, Ye Feng did not put much energy into the defensive end. Entering the playoffs, he needed to work hard on defense. He worked very hard and led by example.

    The Grizzlies failed to counterattack, and were counterattacked twice by the Clippers to open up the score.

    The Clippers bench also performed well, and Thornton worked very hard after returning from injury.  He is not willing to be a substitute and has the ambition to become a star player.  Thibodeau uses Thornton very much and lets him play about 30 minutes in every game.  The role is equivalent to Billups of the Grizzlies.

    The Grizzlies sent Billups and Westbrook to the court together.  There will be troubles of misalignment. The Clippers have an obvious height advantage. Even Thornton is 193cm tall.

    In the fourth quarter, Ye Feng went down to rest for a while.  The Grizzlies' defensive pressure dropped sharply and they began to chase points.

    The 12th overall pick, Jeremy Lamb, got a chance to play, but became the target of the opponent's main attack.  When Thornton and Roy were injured one after another.  The Clippers were short of players on the back line, and Lamb had a good opportunity to make a comeback, but he couldn't seize it.  Lamb obviously couldn't let go after entering the playoffs. He reminded Thibodeau of the Rockets' Luther Hyde.  Players who usually perform well during training, but become abnormal when it comes to key games, are the most troublesome players with this kind of mentality problem.

    When the Grizzlies were only 11 points behind, Thibodeau requested a timeout.

    Barkley and Smith analyzed some data that is not easily reflected on the court.  Point differential, points allowed, assist-to-turnover ratio, etc.  Since entering the playoffs.  The Clippers are 21 points better when Ye Feng is on the court. From this alone, you can see his value, as long as he is on the court.  The Clippers will be hard to beat.  Although his assists are not particularly high.  He averaged only 6.4 per game, but made very few mistakes.  There are only 2.9 turnovers in 40 minutes, which is outstanding among superstars.  For example, Kobe Bryant made 5.2 turnovers every 40 minutes this season. As the core of the ball-handling offense, mistakes mean being counterattacked by the opponent. The assist-to-turnover ratio is usually the basis for measuring the quality of a player's passing.

    No matter how you look at it, Ye Feng is the perfect candidate for the regular season MVP. Important regular season awards will be announced in the near future. People are waiting for the historical moment when Ye Feng is elected as the MVP for four consecutive years.

    After the timeout, Ye Feng returned to the court. According to the tactics arranged by Thibodeau, the Clippers players opened up and began to let Ye Feng hold the ball in singles.  Seize every offensive opportunity at critical moments.  Ye Feng caught the ball in the low post and faced Griffin and Gay. As long as the Grizzlies didn't double-team, he would use various methods to get the ball into the basket.  Turn around, fade away jump shot, golden rooster jump shot, strong attack on the board, etc

    Griffin is not a good defensive player, and he has not been ravaged by Ye Feng more than once or twice.  As soon as the outside players double-teamed, an opening would appear. The role players did not disappoint Ye Feng, ensuring a high shooting percentage.

    The Grizzlies did not have no chance of winning. The Clippers adopted a 122 zone defense that compressed the defense, blocking the penalty area and forcing the Grizzlies to only shoot from the outside. Westbrook reappeared the potential of being a cancer, and many times he was defended in front of him.  The situation forced the shot to hit the iron, wasting opportunity after opportunity.  If Westbrook takes too many shots, the Grizzlies will often lose. If he takes less than 15 shots, the Grizzlies' offense will be smoother. Having such a point guard is really a double-edged sword.

    Unable to hit the basket and relying solely on outside offense, the Grizzlies offense could not guarantee high efficiency. In the end, the Clippers won the game 113-98.

    Ye Feng played 37 minutes and scored 41 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks. He completely dominated the game and got 40+ points in the playoffs for the 9th time in his career. The ones ahead of him were Iverson with 10 times and Ola with 10 times.  Juwon scored 11 times. He is likely to surpass O'Neal in the 40+ scoring list in the playoffs this season.12 times, ranking among the top five in history.

    In addition, Thornton, the Gasol brothers, and Harrison Barnes also scored in double figures.

    After the game, the media complimented the Clippers as usual.  Many people feel that the strength gap between the Grizzlies and Clippers is still very large, and there is no suspense in this series.  As long as the Clippers play inside and outside, no one can beat them.  Love's role has also been weakened, from being an indispensable second-in-command in the media's mouth to being dispensable.

    In fact, the Clippers also showed some hidden dangers in this game.  First of all, he relies too much on Ye Feng, passing the ball to him. As long as there is not a particularly good opportunity, the role players will not take action.  Although it seems reasonable to fight like this.  But as soon as Ye Feng came off the court, the Clippers' offensive efficiency immediately dropped.

    Furthermore, without Love, the team¡¯s rebounding control, especially the backcourt rebounding control, is not as good as before.  The Clippers won this game not easily, but they won because of their high shooting percentage. If the touch is not good, they will be in trouble.

    The second game will still be played at Staples Arena.

    In this game, the problem of unstable performance of the Clippers' role players also emerged.  Harrison and Jones wasted many open shooting opportunities, and Hinrich and Thornton also missed their three-pointers.

    If the outside line cannot be opened, the Grizzlies can double-team Ye Feng resolutely.  Ye Feng's offense also became a little difficult.  In the first half, he mainly passed the ball and created opportunities for his teammates, but his teammates couldn't make any shots. In the second half, there was no way. Thibodeau had to arrange a double pick-and-roll tactic to let the inside players create opportunities for Ye Feng and let him go all out.  attack.

    As soon as the Clippers' offensive thinking changed, the Grizzlies also changed their strategy, using fierce foul tactics to defend Ye Feng alone, strictly guard against others, and resolutely prevent other players from easily getting shooting opportunities.  The Grizzlies took turns guarding Ye Feng in each round, sending him to the free throw line many times, but it also disrupted Ye Feng's shooting touch, and his shooting percentage dropped to less than 50%. Although he was still the most active person on the court, he could not  Led the team to recover the score in one breath.

    Ye Feng passed the ball several times after attracting the defense.  Some shooting opportunities are already very good, but teammates just can't put the ball into the basket.

    The Grizzlies lead by 12 points. For the Clippers in the past, it only took one wave of offense to recover the score. However, today the team was in a slump, as if they were cursed. Harrison's unguarded dunks were all dunked.  .  With such a bad state, it will be difficult to win.

    Seeing that the main players were not feeling good, Thibodeau also replaced Lamb and Yi Jianlian to try out.  Their performance was even worse. Yi Jianlian's performance made people laugh and cry. In the first two seasons, he was usually substituted when he needed to commit a foul. Now he has developed a habit and can't help but foul. He defeated Gerry twice in one minute.  Fin went to the free throw line.  Griffin has always had problems with his shooting. He made 2 of 4 free throws. The foul was finally worth something, but Thibodeau quickly replaced him.

    Marcus Thornton has also become a blacksmith. After all, he has missed too many regular seasons and is still in the stage of finding his form. His shooting is also very unstable.  The Grizzlies cleverly used a 122 zone defense to protect the basket, and the Clippers' two high-impact guards found it difficult to break into the basket and score.

    In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies once again strengthened their defense against Ye Feng and double-teamed him.  After Ye Feng attracted the defense, he passed the ball into the open space again and again, but his teammates still missed the shot. The team's momentum weakened, and the fans' hearts gradually became cold.

    In the past, the Clippers had an advantage in speed and their counterattacks were feared by the entire league. Now the Grizzlies score more fast break points than the Clippers. The Gasol brothers don't move fast, and Perry Jones can't match Gay's speed. The Grizzlies are also  A wave of 8-0 small offensive attack was played to open the score.

    The Gasol brothers are not as good at protecting rebounds as Love.  It turns out that as long as Love is under the basket, Ye Feng can immediately hit the ball as soon as he sees the direction of the ball.  As long as it bounces to Love, he will definitely get the ball.  But it didn't work now. Griffin also staged a violent make-up dunk, and Gortat also grabbed offensive rebounds twice and succeeded in the second offense.

    In the fourth quarter, the Clippers were suppressed by the Grizzlies.  At the end of three minutes, we were already 17 points behind, and there was almost no suspense about the outcome.

    If it were a normal situation, the Clippers would still have a chance to recover the score, but today they couldn't score and they were thankful that they didn't fall behind further.  His teammates were not confident and passed the ball to Ye Feng. The Grizzlies were not polite and double-teamed him every time.

    It is already very difficult for Ye Feng to catch the ball. It is difficult to get opportunities from the outside and he can only attack in the low post.  He relied on a baseline turn jump shot and forced a breakthrough to draw a foul, scoring 14 points in a single quarter, but it was of no avail. The Clippers lost the game 88-105.  Scoring less than 90 points is a very rare situation for the Clippers.

    Ye Feng made 12 of 26 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 17 of 21 free throws. He scored 43 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, the highest score in the game.  He was not happy after tying with Iverson in 40+ games. Losing by high scores was meaningless to him.

    The Clippers lostWith a home court, this series also has suspense.
