Text Chapter 518 [Defeat in three quarters]

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the 5 minutes of the first quarter, Ye Feng only took one shot, scored 2 points, grabbed 4 rebounds, and sent 4 assists.  Those two points were scored on the second offense after grabbing offensive rebounds.

    He completely followed Thibodeau's arrangements, attracting the defense, opening up space, and lofting the ball inside to the Gasol brothers.  If the two brothers are on the court together and don't attack the inside and act as blue collars, it will be a waste of natural resources.

    The Clippers led 16-8. On the defensive end, Ye Feng also formed a triangle with the Gasol brothers to guard the penalty area. Grizzlies head coach Hollins had no choice but to request a timeout.

    ESPN commentator "Magic" Johnson commented: "Today Ye Feng showed his value on both offense and defense. He played very smart and selflessly. When Love was injured, many people thought he would use regular  The way he led the team to win the game, it seems that everyone guessed wrong."

    Van Gundy said: "Playing like this will make the Grizzlies more uncomfortable, and the power of the Gasol brothers in the interior will also be revealed. At this time, the Grizzlies may regret sending them away. Although Gortat is good, his low post defense is not as good as Gasol.  You have limited power and insufficient deterrence."

    The Clippers and the Grizzlies have played against each other many times, and it is clear that the Grizzlies' strengths and weaknesses are also very different. There is a big gap between the strength of their substitute insiders and the starters. Once Gortat and Griffin come off the court, there is a lack of a strong barrier at the basket.  The Gasol brothers relied on their size advantage to attack, which was enough for the Grizzlies. As long as the two Grizzlies insiders could get into foul trouble, they would definitely win.

    It¡¯s not difficult to win, it just depends on whether you can grasp the opponent¡¯s weaknesses.  It's just that Ye Feng needs to sacrifice some personal data. He is not a selfish person. He will not let the star insider not attack and only grab offensive rebounds for himself. If he still does that in the playoffs, it will be a standard cancer.

    Guy and Griffin can't do anything to Ye Feng in a duel, but if they join forces, they can make Ye Feng uncomfortable.  If Ye Feng comes up, he will mainly attack, just in case his teammates can't open up.  The Grizzlies have a chance.  If his teammates open up first, the Grizzlies won't be able to double-team Ye Feng, let alone the Gasol brothers in the low post.

    Grizzlies head coach Hollins saw this clearly and called a timeout. The inside offense was too efficient and must be defended.  Gasol has already had two misplaced opportunities to hit Guy. All Ye Feng did was pull Griffin out of the perimeter after mismatching.

    After the timeout, the Clippers defended Westbrook's jump shot.

    The Grizzlies changed to a zone defense.  The two insiders guarded the basket and prevented the Clippers from easily attacking in the low post.  Although Griffin is not as tall as Gasol, he is very strong and can still hold Gasol outside the penalty area well.

    Gasol didn¡¯t attack either.  Watch Griffin defend in the low post and then pass the ball outside to Ye Feng.  Ye Feng played Rudy Gay in isolation. He protected the ball with his back and led it into the three-point line. He feinted in the middle and turned to the right. With his right foot as the axis, his left foot bent his knee and he performed the "Golden Rooster**" at a 45-degree angle.  posture.

    This trick is not only used in the middle. Ye Feng is more accurate when shooting at a 45-degree angle.  This action seems simple, but the entire league has such a good sense of balance.  There are not many players with flexible bodies, so even if you want to imitate them, you can't.  Most NBA stars go to the gym to practice strength and not flexibility, but Ye Feng never gives up yoga practice.

    Guy was shaken up, but Ye Feng did not jump on him. After landing with his left foot, he took a slight step forward and threw the ball towards the basket with his right hand.  It would be difficult for Guy to destroy his shot with such a shot.  Ye Feng had nothing to do.  I just like to study novel tricks, how to better deceive fouls and play 2+1.  Guy jumped on Ye Feng, and the referee immediately called a foul. Ye Feng's long-distance underhand shot scored.

    The movements are irregular, but very practical.  After Ye Feng made an extra free throw, it was 19-8.

    The Grizzlies strengthened their defense in the low post, but the Clippers also changed their tactics, with Ye Feng focusing on the outside attack.  He doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve against Guy.  He just uses his strength advantage to lean in twice, turn around and shoot a fadeaway jumper. Not many people in the league can block shots with this move.

    The Gasol brothers attracted the defense in the low post. The only one the Grizzlies could interfere with Ye Feng's shooting was Gay.

    Harrison Barnes and Matt Barnes move to the outside and give Ye Feng a cover. After misalignment, it becomes Tony Allen or Westbrook to guard Ye Feng.  The advantages are more obvious.

    Although Tony Allen entered the second team of the defensive lineup, Ye Feng had an easy time playing against him.  Allen is very good at defending without the ball, and he is also good at preventing breakthroughs, but Ye Feng uses his physical advantage to attack hard, and Allen has no choice. After all, he is only 193cm tall.

    If Gay and Allen double-team Ye Feng from the outside, Harrison's shot will have no blind spots as long as he passes the ball.  Harrison played very poorly in the last game. He only scored 6 points. This time he practiced shooting more and vowed not to hold back the team. Today, his shooting touch was much better. He hit two three-pointers from the outside, which made the Gray  Bears players, coaches, and fans felt chilled.

    The Clippers recovered all the shots they missed in the previous game and led 42-24 by 18 points in the first quarter.

      In the second quarter, the Clippers sent Robert Sacre, Yi Jianlian, Perry Jones, Marcus Thornton, and Kirk Hinrich.  There are three big men with a height of over 210cm and two guards, but the tactics are still focused on the inside.  If the Clippers don't let Thomas play, they won't be at a disadvantage in terms of height on the outside, but the height advantage on the inside is very obvious.

    The five Grizzlies are Speights, Arthur, Pondexter, Billups and Bayless.  Darrell Arthur is only 206cm tall, and Speights is only 208cm tall, immediately falling behind.

    ? ? It¡¯s a coincidence that Yi Jianlian, who has been silent for nearly a season, finally showed his performance in this game.  He first caught the ball in the low post and singled out Arthur, then turned and hit a jumper.  Then he played a pick-and-roll with Thornton in the middle, and after a mismatch, he caught the ball and hit a jumper.  After that, he played a more exciting offense. He quickly turned around and passed Speights from the baseline, broke into the basket and scored a two-handed dunk.

    "Magic" Johnson couldn't help but applaud this goal.  Yi Jianlian moves faster than the Gasol brothers and has many offensive methods. Without two tools, how could he be ranked sixth in the draft?  It's a pity that his performance is too unstable.  The grizzly bear was unlucky, just in time for him to show off his power.

    Billups was in a sluggish state. He missed two consecutive shots. He also made a passing error and was intercepted by Hinrich. He assisted Thornton for an easy layup.  Billups is getting old and it's hard to regain the courage he once had.  Ye Feng sat off the court and applauded his teammates. He felt that he could win even if he didn't win today.

    The Clippers were not polite when they found their offensive rhythm. They replaced Ye Feng and the Gasol brothers in the second half of the first quarter. Perry Jones continued to serve as the No. 3 position, and Thornton also stayed on the court.

    With Jones on the court, it is easier for him to play pick-and-roll with Ye Feng and cause mismatches. Van Gundy uses a two-back tactic for the Grizzlies, and he will suffer a lot on defense.

    The Grizzlies have Billups and Westbrook on the floor together.  If Gay continues to guard Ye Feng, Billups will have to guard Jones.  Height is 190cm vs. 211cm, how to prevent this?

    Jones provides a screen for Ye Feng, and Billups becomes misplaced to defend Ye Feng, which also has obvious disadvantages.  The same goes for Westbrook.  Ye Feng made consecutive three-pointers from the outside, making 2 of 3, and assisted Jones to hit a mid-range shot. The point difference expanded to 25 points in one breath.  Facing the Clippers and being 25 points behind, they still want to come back, unless a miracle happens.

    In the second half, the Clippers resolutely attacked the interior, finally causing Gortat to suffer a foul. As soon as Gortat went to rest, the Clippers changed their tactics again, using a double pick-and-roll. Ye Feng and Thornton used the screen to connect at the top of the arc.  When cutting through the baseline, substitute center Speights' lateral movement was too slow, and his defensive pick-and-roll was very clumsy. He could pass him and attack the basket with just a single acceleration.  The Grizzlies were playing at home, and impatience quickly arose. Westbrook began to shoot wildly. Several Clippers big men blocked the inside, making it impossible for defenders to penetrate. Only Billups and Gay were able to shoot three-pointers accurately.  .  This is a shortcoming of the Grizzlies that has never been able to improve.  There are also shooters in the team, but if they are on the court, the defense will be weaker.  And if Tony Allen replaces Billups, their three-point shot will be completely lost.

    At this time, many people admired the Clippers for their shrewd team-building policy. When selecting rookies, they also first looked at whether they could shoot.  As long as a superstar is surrounded by a group of players who can shoot, the opponent can be overwhelmed and it is very easy to break double teams.

    This year Jones and Harrison are both in their first year. It is inevitable that there will be times when the shots are inaccurate and their performance is not very stable. However, after two years of training, they will definitely become good players suitable for the Clippers' offensive system.  Two big men with a height of 216cm are in the paint, and the Grizzlies can't guard them.

    At this time, the Grizzlies¡¯ front office couldn¡¯t help but wonder, was the original transaction the right one?  If the Gasol brothers and Griffin were retained and the Clippers arranged tactics like this, which team in the league could beat them?  Now Gasol and Carrefour, the Clippers lead the league in rebounding, and they can also clear the inside to allow Ye Feng to easily get singles opportunities.  The Grizzlies had the ability to dominate the basket, but they gave up.  What's ridiculous is that when they sent Gasol away and brought in the young and mobile Gortat, the Grizzlies thought they had made a profit.  Small-ball tactics are popular in the league, and big men are becoming less and less popular. However, the Clippers use a bunch of tall players and an anti-traditional style of play, which has the upper hand even in Love's absence.

    In three quarters, the Grizzlies were defeated, trailing by 33 points at most.  After only four minutes of play in the fourth quarter, the Clippers replaced all their main players.  The Grizzlies were too far behind and had no hope of making a comeback. They also replaced their main players and rested to compete with the Clippers.  If the starting lineup is not replaced, the Grizzlies will be at a physical disadvantage in the next game, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

    Fans were very disappointed with the performance of the home team. In the substitute competition between the two sides, the Grizzlies players did not beat the substitute lineup led by Isiah Thomas and Jeremy Lamb. The score was slowly opened up again.  The home fans couldn't stand it, and many left the field early before the game was over.

    "Magic" Johnson sighed: "The Clippers have found the Grizzlies' weakness, and thenIt will be difficult for the Grizzlies to win again in the future.  "
