Ye Feng is also a good shooter. At a certain period of time, he can make whatever shots he wants, leaving his opponents helpless. This season, his number of shots and free throws have reached career highs, but he doesn't have many records of blocked shots. He always has a way of evading the opponent's defense and shooting in irregular ways. On the outside, his jump shot is more difficult to block.
When the Mavericks attacked, Deron Williams and Jordan played a pick-and-roll, broke through with the ball, mismatched Perry Jones, changed speed and succeeded in a layup. 10 to 4.
Jones was passed too easily, and the pick-and-roll didn't work. Fortunately, there was no problem against DeAndre Jordan. If he couldn't guard him, he would foul. It was a good strategy to send Jordan to the free throw line. Thibodeau also arranged foul tactics before the game. In the first few games, the rookies played too short a time and did not play much role. Jordan also did not get a few free throw opportunities. Now let the substitute deal with Jordan directly. As soon as he catches the ball and wants to take a shot, he will immediately foul.
The Clippers organized the offense. Hinrich went to the frontcourt and passed to Ye Feng. He ran to the bottom line to attract the defense. If there is any other position where Hinrich is more confident in shooting, it is the corner. In 2006, he represented the American Dream Team in the World Championships, and his three-pointer from the bottom corner left a deep impression on people. In the international arena that year, his performance was not inferior to Deron and Paul.
Looking at Hinrich in the bottom corner, Deron can only keep up, and completely shorting it will not work.
At this time, Ye Feng took on the organizational task at the top of the arc, retreated with the ball, and took two steps outside the three-point line to protect the ball and control the situation. The Mavericks just failed to double-team and Gasol easily scored a goal. Nowitzki did not dare to easily save the three-point line, and Marion defended alone.
Ye Feng kept the distance and was not in a hurry to attack. When there were five seconds left, he suddenly started to break through from the right. Marion moved laterally. Ye Feng stopped suddenly and dribbled the ball to his left hand, moving one step laterally. A fadeaway shot from outside the three-point line.
This shot was thrown a bit hastily, and the posture felt like "horseback archery". It seemed very unreasonable, but it avoided Marion's block. Nowitzki wanted to rush forward but it was too late to cover up the defense. This three-pointer hit again! 13 to 4.
Ye Feng made 3 of 3 three-pointers as soon as he came up. Both the home team players and the fans felt chilled and it brought back bad memories.
After winning three games in a row, the Mavericks feel that promotion is within sight. Now they are clearly aware that as long as Ye Feng is here, they cannot relax in the face of the Clippers, otherwise he will make you look good. this series. Ye Feng hasn't had a crazy performance yet, but now he starts to do so.
The Mavericks attacked, and the fans roared with cheers. Nowitzki moved to the outside to cover, and Deron broke through and passed the ball to Carter. Carter then passed to Nowitzki, who in turn passed it to Marion. Marion broke through with the ball through Jordan's screen, and made a quick layup under Jones' defense. 13 to 6.
The Clippers attack. The two inside players pulled out the outside line. Ye Feng used an off-ball screen to enter the three-point line and received Harrison's pass from the right. Nowitzki defends. Before Marion could step forward, Ye Feng took the ball and broke through to the baseline. He turned around very quickly and passed Nowitzki in one step. Jordan rushed back to the basket to cover the defense. Ye Feng jumped high, pulled the lever in the air and passed the ball with his right hand. Jones followed up in the middle, caught the ball and smashed the ball with one hand! 15 to 6.
Ye Feng not only scored by himself, but also provided assists, leading the team to a wave of success. After that, the Clippers' offensive slowed down slightly, and Ye Feng struck twice in a row. Gave the Mavericks a chance to breathe. At 5 minutes and 11 seconds into the game, Ye Feng ran without the ball, cooperated with Gasol, and made an air cut to catch the ball and hit a layup. In the next round, he turned around and hit a fadeaway jumper from the right baseline.
It was just over halfway through the first quarter, and Ye Feng had already scored 15 points. Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle requested a timeout. Carlisle asked the players to increase their defense against Ye Feng and to be inseparable, rather than just defending with the ball. He didn't want to see Ye Feng score 30+ in a single quarter, that would be too depressing. Marion's defense is already very tight, but Gasol and Jones cover together, which always creates an opening for Ye Feng to catch the ball. Nowitzki is slow and is not very good at guarding without the ball. The Mavericks still have weaknesses, although they aren't obvious.
Carlisle also didn¡¯t want to assign Jordan to guard pick-and-rolls. If you want Jordan to maximize his power, you have to put him under the basket. Outside the penalty area, he looks relatively mediocre. Gasol also has the opportunity to play hard in the low post.
The Clippers did not change their tactics and continued to focus on Ye Feng, letting him control the situation. Substitution on the field, Jones came off and was replaced by Robert Thackeray. Sacre is 211cm tall, has good low-post defense, and also has a mid-range shot. He has also achieved some results in learning high-post support from Gasol. Replacing him on the court is to ensure the physical strength of the Gasol brothers. Gasol also replaced his older brother and served as center to guard the basket.
With this arrangement, the two brothers will not be exhausted in the fourth quarter. Gasol can also come on the bench as early as possible in the second quarter.
The task of defending Nowitzki was given to Thackeray. He has height?The speed is not too slow and he can keep up with Nowitzki. After the game started, he actually prevented Nowitzki from missing two consecutive shots. Rebounds were controlled by the Clippers.
Seeing that the situation has always been in the hands of the Clippers, Kenny Smith couldn't help but praise Thackeray. "If Sacre is given enough playing time to perform, he should be able to score at least 8+6. He can defend well in the low post and can also attack and hit hook shots. The Clippers selected him with the 60th pick and it is worth the money. After several years of hard work, He may be better than Thomas if he trains. But the Clippers signed a two-year contract with him, and it will definitely not be so cheap to renew the contract in the future."
Barkley felt that Sacre was only good at low-post defense compared with Yi Jianlian. It was actually nothing special, but he concentrated on watching the game and had no words to refute. Smith's words are like an advertisement for Thackeray and will definitely increase his worth.
After catching Ye Feng, he ran under the cover of two inside players. The time from receiving the ball to taking the shot usually does not take more than two seconds. This style of play weakens the effect of the Mavericks' double-teaming. People have no time to double-team, and the ball It has already been voted out. Nowitzki defended very hard, but Ye Feng just bullied him into not being able to jump, so he forced his shot and gambled on touch.
Ye Feng¡¯s shooting percentage dropped in the second half. He took 14 shots in a single quarter and hit 8 goals. Made 3 of 5 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. Got 23 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. He once again used one quarter of data to perform at the level of many people in one quarter. The Clippers lead 37 to 27 by 10 points and showed momentum in the away game.
In the second quarter, Ye Feng took a break, and the Clippers sent Gasol, Thackeray, Matt Barnes, Marcus Thornton, and Isiah Thomas. This is also a brand new attempt. Let Thornton and Thomas form a double gun in the backcourt.
The Mavericks¡¯ substitutes are the usual lineup of Kaman, Brand, Crowder, Jones, and Collison.
The Clippers have to compete offensively with the Mavericks. Jones is good at defense, but Collison is not a good defensive player. Thomas can have more breakthrough opportunities. Jones' offensive ability is average, and Thornton's defensive pressure is not great.
In the substitute competition, the Clippers finally gained the upper hand. Both Thomas and Thornton hit three-pointers from the outside, disrupting the Mavericks' compressed defensive tactics. Thackeray moved to the outside screen, which not only created space for his teammates to break through, but also hit a mid-range shot. After that, Gasol Jr. hit Kaman's hook in a low post, and Barnes successfully stole the ball. A one-stop breakthrough caused a Foul, two free throws made. In less than 5 minutes, all five Clippers substitutes scored.
Seeing that the Clippers widened the point difference, the Mavericks replaced Deron in advance to strengthen the offense and formed a double guard with Collison, but they failed to recover the score.
In the middle of the second quarter, the Clippers made substitutions. Gasol and Jones came on to replace Gasol and Sacre, and Ye Feng came on to replace Thomas. Barnes and Thornton continue to stay on the court, which is also a configuration that can be used both inside and outside. The Mavericks quickly replaced Marion and Nowitzki.
After the opening, Ye Feng and Thornton played a pick-and-roll. Thornton broke through with the ball, attracted Marion's defense, and passed the ball to the outside to Ye Feng. After the mismatch, Collison defended, and Ye Feng used his body to resist Corey. Sen, took a step to the side and made an emergency stop for a three-pointer. Collison was right in front of him, but he was severely disadvantaged by his height and couldn't cover him at all.
Ye Feng hit his fourth three-pointer of the game, widening the point difference to 57-42.
One minute later, Ye Feng caught the ball on the right and feinted toward the baseline to deceive Nowitzki. Then he turned around in the middle and used a fake move like a golden rooster. Marion blocked the shot from the side, and Nowitzki jumped from the front to block the shot. Ye Feng did not jump. He raised his right leg and dropped it. He took a step forward and hit Nowitzki, causing a foul.
Although the score was not 2+1, Ye Feng made two free throws, which was very lethal.
At 3 minutes and 13 seconds, the Clippers used a double pick-and-roll tactic. Ye Feng broke through with the ball and faced Kaman, changed direction and scored with a low ball.
At 2 minutes and 43 seconds, Ye Feng caught the ball in the low post on the left side, faced Nowitzki and made a step-back jumper, hitting the board off the board.
At 1 minute and 06 seconds, Ye Feng received the ball at the top of the arc. Facing Marion's defense, he took a step outside the three-point line and scored a three-pointer. His fifth three-pointer in the game.
At 38 seconds, Ye Feng grabbed the backcourt rebound and launched a fast break, dribbling the ball through the half court and hitting a 60-degree shot from the right side.
The Mavericks quickly broke into an attack, leaving the Clippers 31 seconds to attack. After the Clippers' attack ended, they still had a chance to attack.
Ye Feng got the ball in the backcourt, and his teammates all pulled away. He took control of the situation in the frontcourt and waited until the last 5 seconds to launch the offense. The Mavericks adopted a double-team. Ye Feng passed the ball out. Harrison missed a three-pointer from the right, but Gasol missed the rebound. Get it.
At this time, Gasol showed his experienced experience. He did not rush to shoot, but passed it out for the second organization. Ye Feng took the ball from the outside with only 4 seconds left. He broke through under the cover of his teammates and used the "Golden Rooster" on the right side. This time he faced the package of Nowitzki and Marion.He hit a fadeaway jumper, and Ye Feng scored 38 points in the first half.
The Clippers lead 75 to 57, and their offense is flowing. (To be continued)
