Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After losing the Tianwangshan battle, the Clippers won two more games in a row. They defeated the Dallas Mavericks 99-89 at home and won the tiebreaker. A year later, the Clippers and Heat met again in the finals.

    Ye Feng¡¯s statistics are astonishing. He scored 31 points, 31 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. This is another rare ancient statistic.

    It is reasonable for the Mavericks to lose. General Nowitzki made 4 of 15 shots and only scored 17 points including free throws. The hat of being a softie cannot be taken off.

    At the post-game press conference, the faces of the Mavericks attendees were ugly. It was okay to play seven games against the Clippers in the playoffs, but it was a pity that they fell short at the last moment. It felt like buying a 7-digit lottery ticket and missing one number.  You can imagine how happy you feel when you win a lottery.

    Ye Feng has naturally become the focus. He said that this is the most difficult series for the Clippers in recent years. He has used all his strength and the Mavericks are the strongest opponent.  This phrase "the strongest" makes people feel that there is a hint, as if beating the Heat is already a guaranteed win.

    The next day, the news media praised Ye Feng again, saying that he single-handedly brought the team to the finals, directly ignoring the existence of the Gasol brothers and others.  Last season, it was easy to win the championship because of the strong lineup. This season, people are thinking that the Clippers have returned to a single core.  With Love absent, the Clippers are not much weaker, but Ye Feng's statistics have become even better, which is a real surprise for the fans.

    On June 1, the Clippers will face the Heat at Staples Center.  As in previous years, there will inevitably be a war of words before the fight begins.

    If the Clippers win the finals, Ye Feng will win the regular season and finals MVPs for four consecutive years, achieving an unprecedented achievement.  If the Heat win, James will get the first championship ring in his career. Still, with the help of two superstars, the gold content is too low.  In this context, apart from Heat fans, not many people want the Heat to win the championship. Everyone would rather see a perfect victory.

    When being interviewed.  The Big Three of the Heat are full of confidence, saying they have found a way to deal with the Clippers and will definitely win the championship.  Clippers players scoffed at such remarks.  They have the best core.

    The comparison between James and Ye Feng has never stopped. Now people think that Ye Feng is better, both in terms of team performance and personal honors, surpassing James.

    James¡¯ progress in the past two years has been very obvious, and his offensive methods have become much richer.  Low-post offense, breakthrough with the ball, mid- and long-range jump shots are all accurate, and the shooting percentage is also 53%.  It's hard to fault James' skills.  If there are any other shortcomings, it may be that the posture of the fadeaway jumper is too ugly, and the legs are spread out like a crab. This aspect has never been improved.

    Most fans support the Clippers, but most experts are more optimistic about the Heat.  The Heat's lineup is stronger, and secondly, they took a week off to better adjust their state and study the Clippers' tactics.  Waiting for work with ease.  It was not easy for the Clippers to advance to the finals, and they were almost upset by the Mavericks.

    This is the best time for the Heat to win the championship. They missed it this year.  The situation is not optimistic. The Big Three are already very old and their peak period cannot last for a few more years.  The team also has veterans like Dalembert, Haslem, Ray Allen, and Lewis, and it is difficult to maintain their form.

    As usual, the media conducted a detailed analysis of the matchup between the key players of the Heat and Clippers before the game and predicted the winner of the championship.

    The first is Chris Bosh vs. Marc Gasol.

    The real center inside the Heat is Bosh, and Dalembert is just a pseudo-starter in order to allow Chandler Parsons to come off the bench to increase the firepower of the second team.  The Clippers' Gasol is an important insider for the Clippers. He may be a substitute, but his playing time will definitely be around 40 minutes.

    The two have equal rebounding abilities.  Gasol is good at low-post defense, but Bosh's offensive ability is much stronger. Whether it's mid-range shooting or low-post footwork, Bosh is very good, and his range reaches beyond the three-point line.  Judging from his reputation and statistics, Bosh is definitely stronger.  However, Gasol happens to be the type of powerful insider that gives Bosh a headache. If Gasol attacks hard, the thin Bosh will also be under pressure.  In comparison, the Heat have the upper hand.

    ? Power forward Chandler Parsons vs. Pau Gasol.

    Gasol has been selected to the All-Stars many times, but his status has declined slightly this season.  Parsons is a good outside shooter, a swingman at positions 3 and 4, and can also break through with the ball.  When the two of them face off, they can both make their opponents feel uncomfortable.  In terms of substitutes, Perry Jones has an advantage over the aging Haslem. As for Rashard Lewis, the billionaire man with the Heat, he only has that little fame left and is of little use.  The Clippers have the advantage in position 4.

    Small forward James vs. Ye Feng.

    If Harrison Barnes plays against James, he will only be exposed. The Clippers will definitely let Ye Feng play against James to strengthen defense.  Of course, the Heat will also ask James to guard Ye Feng. The two defenses are both top in the league, and it is likely to be a one-on-one contest.  The last finals?Ye Feng's statistics completely surpassed James's, and from that moment on, the two people's evaluations were completely reversed.  If James wants to win the championship and successfully take revenge, he must at least be on par with Ye Feng in terms of performance.  The Clippers have a slight advantage.

    Shooting guard Matt Barnes vs. Wade.

    Wade sacrificed his personal data for the team, changed his style of play to a large extent, and handed over the breakthrough task to James.  From the field, he looks more like the team's second-in-command.  When there were rumors that the Heat's Big Three were going to break up, Wade was still willing to do this, taking a big risk.  If the Heat want to keep James as the core of their reconstruction, it is not impossible to trade Wade.  There are now many fans who support Wade leaving the team.  Against Barnes, Wade's personal ability has the upper hand.  This position can be said to be the Clippers' weakest point. If they lose, the No. 2 position is likely to be blown out.

    Point guard Hinrich vs. Chalmers.

    Hinrich is also a pseudo-starter, with Thornton guest-starring at the No. 1 position most of the time.  Hinrich has more experience than Chalmers. After arriving in the Heat, Chalmers' breakthrough ability has improved and his three-point shooting is also good.  Both of them are role players who have nothing to do with the overall situation and are of equal strength.

    In terms of substitute competition, because of the Big Three, the Heat no longer have the salary to introduce strong substitutes.  Mainly relying on three-point king Ray Allen, the Clippers rely on Marcus Thornton.  Thornton's scoring ability is no worse than the departed Curry, but his status has fluctuated after a serious injury in the regular season.

    In addition, Heat guard Antoine Moore is a good three-pointer, and the Clippers also have Isiah Thomas, a short guard with excellent breakthrough ability.  Generally speaking, the substitutes of both sides mainly rely on outside offense, and it is difficult to determine the winner.  Winning the championship mainly depends on the starting competition.

    The biggest highlight of the game is that James and Ye Feng once again compete for the number one player in the league.  Of course, judging from the team's lineup configuration, even if the Heat win, James will still be unconvincing.  The injury to Clippers star player Love made Ye Feng receive a higher evaluation.

    When it comes to the finals, in addition to the lineup, the more important thing is the battle of momentum.  Although the Clippers advanced later, Ye Feng produced super statistics and confidence in two consecutive wins over the Mavericks, and was no weaker than the Heat.  The players are also confident of winning.

    During the break, the coaching staff carefully studied the Heat's situation and took a day to convene a meeting with the players to watch the Heat's two game videos together.  The Heat rely on a few stars to play. Counting Ray Allen, they can be said to be the Big Four. Mayo's absence will not have a big impact on them.

    In terms of experience in the finals, the Clippers are definitely better than the Heat. Barnes, Thornton, Ye Feng and others have all entered the finals for the fourth consecutive year and can better demonstrate their strength in such a competition.  Among the main rotation players, Harrison and Jones have little experience and are prone to abnormal performance.  So the coaching staff focused on giving them homework, and everyone else was fine.

    The Heat are not so easy to deal with this year. Their perimeter is getting stronger and stronger. James' three-point shooting percentage this season is 41%, setting a career high.  Chandler Parsons also has a three-point shooting percentage of 40.5%. Ray Allen is getting better and better as he gets older. He relies entirely on shooting to score. Chalmers is also very good at three-pointers. Even Bosh can be pulled to the outside.  Shoot threes.  The Clippers' method of compressing their defense and blocking James and Wade's breakthroughs as they did back then no longer works.

    In addition, the Heat also have three-point shooting shooters like Miller and Moore on the bench, and the Clippers' defense is under great pressure.

    After watching the video, Thibodeau arranged: "In this finals, the most important thing is defense. Although the Heat do not average very high points per game in the regular season, their offensive power is not weak. With the Big Three, they can score at critical moments."  They are the best in the league. Their pick-and-roll tricks are also very complicated. When we defeated the Heat to win the championship in the 2011 season, it had a lot to do with their poor running-in. Although the Heat lost to the Nets last season, it was also because there were too few scoring points. This  Ray Allen and Parsons have made up for these shortcomings this season. However, in low-post offense, the Heat only have Bosh and James. Therefore, our defensive focus is on the outside, focusing on 32 zone defense, and Ye mainly defends James. After the pick-and-roll, we must  Get to the basket in time to protect the backcourt rebound.¡±

    Ye Feng dealt with James, while the others defended in a zone.  The Clippers attach great importance to James. If they want to defeat the Heat, they must control their core. This is exactly the same as other teams doing against the Clippers.  James and Ye Feng belong to the same type of players. The only difference is that Ye Feng pays more attention to scoring this season, while James pays more attention to support. Both of them are also top in the league in physical fitness.

    As for the offense, Thibodeau has seen it very clearly after the previous two games. He no longer pursues more blossoming play styles, but leaves it to Ye Feng to focus on the offense and decide whether to shoot or pass.  Even if Ye Feng faces double-teaming, he is more confident than many players.  Almost all teams double-team to defend Ye Feng, but the Heat may not do that.  If double-teamed, it would be equivalent to admitting that James is not as good as Ye Feng, and the Clippers will let Ye Feng defend alone at first, allowing the two of them to go head-to-head.??Yes.

    The battle between the strongest players in the league is about to take place!  (To be continued)
