After that, Ye Feng still focused on defense and supporting offense. He played the entire first quarter, scored 8 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, and almost completed a double-double. It's not common for him to grab rebounds like crazy, and Clippers fans were pleasantly surprised. Rebounding is of course also related to the low shooting percentage of both sides. 43% to 40%, the Clippers were slightly better, leading by 7 points 28 to 21.
In the second quarter, Ye Feng took a rest as usual. "Magic" Johnson commented on his performance and said: "Ye Feng played at the 4th position to guard the basket and grabbed rebounds very fiercely. I remember his first season in his career. Divac has said that as long as he works hard, although he is short, he may become a stable double-double player. He has the talent to become a top rebounder. He has excellent strength and positioning awareness, as well as amazing jumping. However, After leaving the Lakers, Ye Feng began to develop outside."
Van Gundy said: "Everyone is used to Ye Feng's omnipotence. If he plays like this, his rebounds in a single game today may hit a career high. Of course, he may also win a super triple-double. He passed the ball a lot in the first quarter. , It¡¯s a pity that most teammates didn¡¯t grasp it and missed many simple shots.¡±
Both of them choose the commentary that fans like to hear, so it doesn¡¯t matter if they are a little biased. In the United States, there are 10 times more fans supporting the Clippers than the Mavericks. Those who support the Clippers must be fans of Ye Feng. And no matter how biased their commentary is, they can't be biased toward Barkley. When "Big Mouth" gets excited, he will make a tsunami sound while explaining
At this time, the substitutes of both sides launched a fierce attack on the field, and basically completed an attack within 8 seconds.
The Mavericks sent two defenders, Collison and Beauboa, who are good at breakthroughs on the outside. Although veteran Jones is experienced, his offense is too poor. The Clippers sent a two-guard combination of Thornton and Thomas on the outside. Both of them are not tall, so there is no need to worry about obvious holes in defense.
Both sides thought so. After speeding up the tempo, they played better than the starting team. You came and I refused to give in to each other.
In the seventh game with no retreat, both sides must exert all their strength. Thibodeau asked Ye Feng and the Gasol brothers to play in the second half of the second quarter. As long as you don't get fouled. He stayed on the court and played the rest of the game. If you win, you have three days to rest. If you lose, the whole season is over. There is no need to conserve your energy at any point.
The two parties had a tacit understanding and waited until the official suspension. Thibodeau replaced the Gasol brothers. With Ye Feng, Barnes, and Thornton, this lineup can be said to be the strongest lineup currently available to the Clippers. The five of them all have rich competition experience and work well together. Ye Feng continues to guard the basket on the defensive end. If Nowitzki clears the paint, Gasol will defend him. Ye Feng helps defend in the low post and protects the backcourt rebounds. Thibodeau's arrangement is not to let Ye Feng brush up statistics, but it is really effective. Ye Feng's low post can ensure that the Mavericks defender cannot easily break through to the basket and score.
Therefore, Ye Feng¡¯s main focus is on low-post defense and rebounding. He was outstanding on the defensive end today, and Marion was easily blocked outside the penalty area by him. Two turnaround throws missed. Several breakthroughs by Carter and Deron were also blocked. It was lucky that the forced shots were not blocked. Gasol serves as a human shield under the basket, and Ye Feng can help defend and block shots to his heart's content.
The Mavericks offense gradually fell into trouble. The proportion of interior offense is greatly reduced. Brand used to be very good at attacking in the low post. But now he has become an ordinary insider who mainly relies on shooting. Nowitzki also likes to shoot from the outside, with Jordan and Kaman in the low post. He couldn't perform well against Gasol either.
The Clippers' offensive efficiency is also very average, but it makes the Mavericks' shooting percentage even lower. Returning to defense has enhanced the confidence of the players. The last time they used defense to control the situation, it was already a long time ago.
Ye Feng seemed to be on stimulants, winning backcourt rebounds again and again. In the frontcourt, he also actively fights for offensive rebounds after distributing the ball, and does not force shots under double teams.
At the end of the second quarter, the Clippers led 55 to 41 by 14 points, and the Mavericks were getting further and further away from the finals. Ye Feng grabbed 16 rebounds, but only scored 12 points. He had more rebounds than points in the half, which is very rare.
In the second half, when his teammates could attract defense, Ye Feng finally started to attack.
He received the ball in the low post on the right side and faced Nowitzki. Marion has become accustomed to the offensive routine of the Clippers outside players shooting, and did not immediately cover up the defense. Ye Feng took the ball and hit Nowitzki with his back. He swayed his right shoulder, turned towards the baseline and rushed into the basket. He jumped up with a big backhand. Smash the ball in!
This wonderful goal caused the fans to scream. Ye Feng can perform a windmill dunk on the spot. His jumping ability and explosive power are so strong that Nowitzki has nothing to do.
After a minute, Ye Feng once again beat Nowitzki in the low post, but Marion couldn't double-team him. Ye Feng pretended to turn to the baseline, then turned back, and hit the board with a 45-degree fadeaway jumper.
This kind of double-teaming means passing the ball, and players who score without double-teaming are the most uncomfortable. Ye Feng seems to have a more elegant style of play.? Tim Duncan, who has more offensive methods, is always very stable in the positions he is familiar with. The Mavericks struggled to defend in every game, and the game with 26 points was the most successful defense the Mavericks had.
Marion had no choice but to double-team more after the pick-and-roll. Ye Feng happily gave up the low post to the Gasol brothers and went to the top of the arc to cover Thornton. If Ye Feng is on the outside and the Mavericks double-team, there will inevitably be a void inside, which is a good opportunity for Thornton to perform. Thornton did not disappoint. He scored on a breakthrough and assisted Gasol to easily score at the basket; he also hit a layup on a breakthrough. Ye Feng is just a screen, but he can attract defenders, which is also very effective.
On the defensive end, Clippers players began to consciously help Ye Feng produce luxurious statistics. At halftime, they all knew that Ye Feng had 16 rebounds in the half. In the second half, the Gasol brothers had a tacit understanding to help Ye Feng block people and gave him the task of protecting backcourt rebounds. Whether it was against Marion or Nowitzki, Ye Feng showed an overwhelming advantage in positioning. Halfway through the three quarters, he had 20 rebounds.
"Magic" Johnson couldn't help but exclaimed, "He's crazy!"
Under the instigation of home announcer Ralph Rohrer, the audience became even more excited and kept cheering for the home team. Some people even shouted hoarse without even realizing it.
Facing the Clippers' compressed defense, the Mavericks were eager to recover the score and increased their mid-to-long-range shots. The Mavericks' three-point shooting was good in the past few games, but it didn't work today. Only Carter and Marion hit four three-pointers from the outside. Other than that, no one was active from the outside. The two core players, Deron and Nowitzki, took action many times, which further demoralized the visiting team.
??The shooting percentage is low and the rebounds are high. What's amazing is that today the rebound seemed to have eyes, bouncing in the direction of Ye Feng. There were several times when Ye Feng had to give up his position while defending his opponent's shot. When he looked back, he found that the ball was bouncing towards him and he reached out and grabbed it. With such luck, Ye Feng got another 8 rebounds in a single quarter. 24 in three quarters. In addition, he has also scored 18 points and had 5 assists.
Before the game was over, Ye Feng had already broken his single-game rebound record, which may have reached 30 in the game.
Thibodeau arranged for Ye Feng to be the main attacker in the fourth quarter, because Ye Feng was the most confident in shooting, and the Mavericks no longer dared to double-team easily. He also arranged to resolutely play positional offense to kill time. Now the Clippers lead 79 to 68 by 11 points. The Mavericks must be anxious. When anxious, it is easy to get into chaos, and when there is chaos, flaws will appear.
Ye Feng, who had been relatively stable throughout the game, started to attack. The Gasol brothers double-covered on the outside. Ye Feng received the ball and broke through. He received the ball on the right and rushed to the basket without waiting for Marion to double-team. Nowitzki followed him to the basket. Ye Feng took the ball and used his left foot as a pivot, taking a big step forward with his right foot. At the same time, he sent the ball forward with his right hand in an underhand layup posture. Nowitzki was attracted to move his body weight to the basket, but Ye Feng turned back and hit the ball with his left hand.
This series of beautiful fake moves completely swayed Nowitzki. "Big Dream" Olajuwon is best at this offensive method, and Ye Feng has also used it very skillfully.
In the next attack, the Clippers players all spread out. Ye Feng dribbled the ball to the low post next to Marion. He held the ball in his right hand and suddenly turned towards the baseline. With his right foot as the axis, he took the ball in his right hand and made a hook gesture. Judging from the movement, it should be. There was no follow-up action possible, and Marion immediately jumped up to block the shot. Ye Feng took his hand back, handed the ball to his left hand, took a step to the left with his left foot and reached a 45-degree angle, and switched to a left-handed hook shot!
This kind of fake move to change hands for a sky hook is also Ye Feng's original stunt. Marion almost fainted from being shaken.
At 6 minutes and 13 seconds, Ye Feng ran out of the perimeter, received the ball under the cover of his teammates, put a hand on Gasol's back to cover, and shot a three-pointer from the outside. This method of using teammates as obstacles is often used by Ye Feng. Gasol is the best candidate. If he is in front, the opponent will not be able to block the shot directly and the ball will hit again.
At 4 minutes and 33 seconds, Ye Feng broke through and caused Nowitzki to foul and made two free throws. The Mavericks wanted to fight to the death in the fourth quarter, but the score was widened. Ye Feng is not a blue-collar player, and scoring is his first strength.
In desperation, the Mavericks had no choice but to double-team again. Most of the attention is on the defensive end, how can the offense open up the situation? Seeing the Mavericks stepping up their defense, Ye Feng started passing the ball again and rebounded wildly.
Every time he grabs a rebound, the fans will shout "mvp" in unison! The tone was surprisingly consistent. On the offensive end, Ye Feng was not idle either. He got the ball at the top of the arc, entered the three-point line on the left under the cover of Gasol, and hit a jumper with one step. Got his 29th personal point.
With 3 minutes and 03 seconds left in the game, the Gasol brothers all moved to the outside. Gasol Jr. missed a jump shot. Ye Feng grabbed the offensive rebound, bringing his personal rebound count to 30. The second takeoff resulted in a foul on Kaman and he went to the free throw line. After making two free throws, he scored his 31st point of the game. this timeAfter the attack, his data reached a frightening double 30!
