Text Chapter 533 [The finals begin!  ¡¿

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the evening of June 1st, the Staples Center was bustling with activity.  Tickets for the finals have already been sold out.  More than 200 TV stations around the world broadcast the game live. Stars from all walks of life came to watch the game, and the ratings reached a new high.  Most of the increased ratings come from Asia. Since the birth of Ye Feng, Asians have begun to believe that yellow people can also play basketball well, and their enthusiasm for basketball has been aroused.

    Ye Feng didn¡¯t know whether he could successfully defend his title, so he didn¡¯t predict the outcome during the interview.

    Ariel originally planned to take her child to an appearance at Staples, but Ye Feng did not agree. He was afraid that the noise from Staples Arena would deafen the child's ears.  Even with earplugs, what can children understand when they come?  I'm afraid I won't be able to remember anything, and I might cry and make a fuss.  He was more worried about hitting the child when the ball went out of bounds.  In the end, she stayed at home and was taken care of by the nanny, and Ariel arrived on her own.

    The Heat¡¯s goal is to win at least one away game.  The Heat have an advantage this year, and the players are holding back their energy to beat the Clippers.  Even newly joined Ray Allen has a grudge against the Clippers.  He was defeated by the Clippers in the 2010 Finals and entered the free market last season. He wanted to join the Clippers the most, but the Clippers didn't show any sign, which made him very embarrassed.

    Thibodeau has been an assistant coach with the Celtics and is very aware of Ray Allen's strength.  Allen's shooting ability is very strong, but his defense and ball-handling ability are getting worse year by year. His main function is to shoot on the court.  Letting a veteran serve as the main pitcher, Thibodeau feels it is better to give Harrison Barnes and Jeremy Lamb more opportunities.  Now, although Lamb failed to become Miller's successor, Harrison has indeed performed well and become an important member of the Clippers.  If Ray Allen is here, the rookie will definitely not get much playing time.  This is like when the Rockets drafted Rudy Gay and immediately traded with the Grizzlies in exchange for Battier, who was not outstanding offensively.  Many people later felt that the Rockets lost money, but it was actually a good deal. If Gay stayed with the Rockets, McGrady would not have much chance to play, and he would definitely not be able to play.  The Clippers have always had a tradition of cultivating potential stocks.  What's more, Harrison's draft pick and potential are not inferior to Gay's?

    When the Clippers players came on the court, they received a lot of applause.  When the Heat players came on the court, boos broke out everywhere. This was to create psychological pressure on the opponents.  It is difficult for players with a bad mentality to perform at a normal level when being booed.  James, Wade and others have all experienced strong winds and waves, but they looked calm and everything was business as usual.

    ESPN sent a commentary team of Jeff Van Gundy and "Magic" Johnson.  tn*t radio station sent Barkley Kenny Smith and "Shark" O'Neal.

    In contrast, tn*t¡¯s commentary lineup is more attractive.  O'Neal signed a long-term contract with tn*t radio station in July 2011. Chinese fans call him and Barkley the "Hefei" combination.  The two had fights when they were players, but became colleagues after retiring.

    O¡¯Neal, who is quite funny on and off the court, has a wide range of hobbies.  He has tried filming TV, working as a policeman, and pretending to be a sculpture in his spare time. He also participated in a crash course as a sports commentator specially organized for athletes at Syracuse University. He hopes to have his own TV column after retirement.  Now, he has realized his dream of becoming a TV celebrity.

    After the Clippers got the championship ring, O'Neal was grateful to both the Clippers and Ye Feng. Of course, he supported the Clippers to win the championship. Barkley has always disliked James.  Also supporting the Clippers, the two started teasing each other at the beginning of the live broadcast.  O'Neal had been teammates with James in the Cavaliers, and he also knew how to show mercy.  Barkley, however, was rude. He said sarcastically that James was called a genius, but he had achieved nothing after nine seasons and was in a complete mess.  James has been highly praised for many years, but mud can't hold up the wall.

    Before the game started, the Heat were poured cold water on them, but the players who were warming up couldn't hear Barkley's complaints.

    Ye Feng shook hands with James. Both of them were silent and did not make any provocation at their level.  Provocation means little.  Both of them put the team first and can play strictly according to the coach's arrangements. They are not the kind of idiots who get hot-headed, destroy the team system and fall into working alone just because the other party talks a few trash words.  No one else said a word, just waiting for their subordinates to see the real chapter.

    The Clippers¡¯ starting five are Pau Gasol, Perry Jones, Ye Feng, Matt Barnes, and Kirk Hinrich.

    The Heat¡¯s starting five are Dalembert, Bosh, James, Wade and Chalmers.

    The players stand still.  The referee blew the whistle and the game started. Bosh beat Gasol with a jump ball and the Heat attacked first.  Chalmers brought the ball across the half court, passed it to James to organize at the top of the arc, and went to the bottom corner to wait for the opportunity.  Chalmers basically does not have any organizational tasks in the Heat, relying on Wade and James.  Ye Feng's style of attacking at the top of the key was learned from James.

    The duel between James and Ye Feng took place in the first round.  Ye Feng took a step away, lowered his center of gravity, and concentrated on observing the opponent's every move.

    "Come on, I will definitely win one-on-one!" Ye Feng said.?Li said silently.

    James looked solemn, and suddenly accelerated to the right while holding the ball. Ye Feng took a step laterally to block the breakthrough route. James dribbled the ball and moved a step to the right, and hoisted the ball into the low post Bosh with one hand.

    The Heat's starting center is Dalembert, who doesn't have much offensive power. Because of this, the Clippers dare to start Jones. Jones relies on his youth and excellent physical fitness and does not suffer.  If the Heat attack in the low post, they will definitely rely on Bosh.  Bosh played a post-up game with Gasol. He took two steps, turned around in the middle, and shot a hook shot with his long arm. His release point was very high, and he avoided the block and hit the ball!  2 to 0.

    Gasol is already a pure floor player. His weakness of being unable to jump can easily be exploited. His ability is not as good as before. Fortunately, his contract expires in 2014. The Clippers can sign a low-salary contract with Gasol.  Sol is here, so there is no need to worry about Gasol staying without a salary cut.  After this season, the Clippers will also have more salary space to pursue big-name players, and they can at least introduce another second-rate star.

    The Clippers attacked, Hinrich controlled the ball past halftime and passed it to Ye Feng.  Interestingly, the point guards of both teams are not responsible for organizational tasks. Hinrich also runs to the baseline after passing the ball and waits for opportunities.  The ball was handed to Barnes, who then passed it to Jones who was pulling to the outside. Ye Feng went into the low post to ask for the ball. James defended and pushed Ye Feng out of the penalty area as much as possible.  He is very powerful. Even now that Ye Feng has reached his physical peak, James is still better than him.

    Ye Feng didn¡¯t expect to squeeze into the baseline easily. After receiving the ball, he immediately moved out. James was very close to him, preventing him from turning around easily.  This is the correct defensive side rate, but in the league, there are only a handful of people in the league who can handle one-on-one with a leaf forward who cannot easily turn around.  If Ye Feng wants to shoot, he has to turn to the baseline and shoot a fadeaway jumper. This move may be able to avoid the block, but under the pressure of James' strength, it is difficult to control the rhythm and the shooting percentage is difficult to guarantee.  Ye Feng led to the middle, Gasol's screen came, and Ye Feng relied on the screen to dribble the ball laterally.  Bosh immediately stepped up and switched defenses very promptly.

    The Heat sent two generals to defend Ye Feng. Even if they didn't double-team, it would be difficult to get a shot.  As long as Bosh blocks Ye Feng's breakthrough, half the battle is won. James can switch to defend Gasol.

    Ye Feng has won 4 regular season MVPs. If he is blocked by Bosh, he will pass the ball. He is embarrassed to admit that he is stronger than Kobe and James.  He leaned against Bosh for a moment, immediately turned around and took the low post from the left, paused and retreated. Bosh's intention was to prevent a breakthrough. James also bypassed Gasol at this time, preparing to form a double team.  Before James could catch up, Ye Feng took a step-back jumper and hit the ball off the board.  2 to 0.

    Bosh focused on preventing breakthroughs. He was a little hesitant when he pounced forward. Ye Feng seized the opportunity due to this hesitation. He guessed that Bosh didn't dare to get close to him easily.

    The Heat attacked, Chalmers dribbled the ball across half court, James took the ball from the outside, and Bosh pulled out to cover, blocking Ye Feng.  This is a style of play that the Clippers are more afraid of. Once Ye Feng is blocked, James will have to be dealt with by others.  Thibodeau did not intend to double-team James right away. James broke through from the left with the ball, met Gasol, and made a pull-up jumper.  2 to 4.

    The most feared thing about 32 zone defense is the pick-and-roll. If James and Wade take turns relying on the screen to break through, the two insiders will be under great pressure.  The Heat's formation is to compress the defense, guard Ye Feng tightly, and let others shoot, betting that they will not make the shot.  In the next round, Ye Feng got the ball from the outside and was double-teamed.  Bosh and Wade went up together, leaving Barnes empty.  Ye Feng chose to pass the ball, and Barnes took an open three-pointer, but unfortunately missed.

    Dalembert got the rebound and passed it to James, who passed a long pass to Wade in the backcourt.  Barnes had just completed his shot and was a little slow to return to defense.  Wade's reputation as the Flash is well-earned. A little space can be converted into a goal. He caught the ball in the frontcourt and quickly completed a layup. No one could keep up.  2 to 6.

    When the Clippers attacked, Ye Feng caught the ball in the low post, leaned against James, and dribbled with his back, using his right foot as a pivot. He took the ball and shook his left shoulder slightly, making a fake move to turn toward the baseline. James was attracted.  Ye Feng immediately turned around and shot in the middle.  James didn't react slowly, but Ye Feng took the shot before he jumped to the highest point. His touch was also very soft and he hit the net hollowly.  4 to 6.

    Ye Feng knows the purpose of the Heat. If his teammates fail to make a shot at the beginning, it will affect the morale of the whole team.  He wants to ensure offensive efficiency and not open up the score, so he will attack by himself as long as there is no obvious opening.  James is defending alone and he is confident of scoring the ball.

    The Heat were attacking, and Ye Feng was also guarding James alone. This time James wanted to return the favor. Instead of relying on the pick-and-roll, he played singles in front of the frame. He dribbled the ball twice and then broke through to the left.  The shot was blocked, but the shot missed.

    Before Ye Feng could breathe a sigh of relief, Dalembert got the rebound and made a one-handed shot from the basket in his second attack!  4 to 8.

    The Clippers¡¯ interior defenseGood enough, but Ye Feng can't stay in the 4th position all the time. It's impossible for Jones to guard James.  (To be continued)rq
