Ye Feng's offense is arranged by Thibodeau. Whoever can overwhelm the core of the two teams can take the initiative.
The Clippers players provided Ye Feng with cover. If he was not determined to attack Dalembert and Bosh, then he would have failed. Ye Feng was very efficient in the opening game, mainly relying on shooting. After the two insiders finished covering, they went to the low post to grab rebounds. The purpose of playing this way is to break the Heat's compressed defense.
The Heat's offensive approach is exactly the opposite, relying mainly on breakthroughs and rarely taking shots from the outside. Parsons and Ray Allen had not yet played, and their outside shooting was not particularly good at this time. The Clippers realized this and began to compress the defense and speed up the rotation, making it impossible for the Heat to easily play fast breaks.
??After 6 and a half minutes, Dalembert fouled Ye Feng twice. The Clippers used a wave of 8-0 offensive to open the score. Heat coach Spoelstra took the lead in requesting a timeout.
The Heat replaced Parsons inside, replaced Dalembert, and Bosh took the No. 5 position. "Soy Sauce Man" Chalmers, who had a bad shooting touch after the start, also came off the court and was replaced by Ray Allen. This is a targeted arrangement to strengthen outside shooting.
The Clippers also made a substitution. Perry Jones came off the court and was replaced by Marc Gasol. Outsider Sudden came on, replacing Hinrich. This is also very targeted. Parsons is not good at low-post defense and cannot resist people. He is an average player, otherwise he would not have fallen to the second round of the draft that year. With the Gasol brothers on the court together, no matter which one he is guarding, he can attack the basket. If James is guarding the low post, Ye Feng's offensive pressure will be much reduced.
In half a quarter, Ye Feng scored 10 points, while James only scored two points. James was also very resolute in attacking, but when he met Ye Feng, who had always dominated him in recent years, he felt unsure. The media almost unanimously believed that Ye Feng was better than James, and Lian Feng analyzed everything clearly. As time went by, James unconsciously felt like he was hypnotized, and he truly felt that his skills were inferior to others.
Barkley said: "The Clippers can take the lead now. Ye Feng has contributed a lot. He took care of most of the team's scoring. James doesn't seem very excited, but Wade performed well."
O'Neal said: "As long as the Clippers win, no one can compete with Ye Feng for FMVP. He is really strong. And I don't know what nervousness is. The more critical the game, the better you play."
On the espn side, "Magic" Johnson also praised Ye Feng, calling him the number one basketball player in the world. Among the most influential athletes selected by World Sports Magazine last year, Ye Feng ranked first, surpassing Barcelona football star Messi. end of last year. Messi broke the 40-year-old world football single-year scoring record. But Ye Feng's contribution is not only on the court, he made more people like basketball.
After the timeout, James, who did not dare to show weakness, began to show his low-post skills, using two misplaced attacks to score with hooks. Gasol has the same height and wingspan, but he is far behind in bullet speed and cannot guard James.
On the defensive end, the Heat began to double-team Ye Feng, and the main defensive task was handed over to Parsons. James went into the low post to defend Gasol. James' defensive method is to go forward, which makes Gasol uncomfortable. It is difficult to get the ball when he lacks strength. James can use his super physical fitness to chase the goal when he reverses the lob.
Although there is a gap between Parsons and Ye Feng, they only need to block for a while, and they can be double-teamed from the side at any time.
Ye Feng saw the opponent's defense tightening and began to pass the ball to support the attack. Unfortunately, Barnes and Thornton missed consecutive shots. A defensive player like Barnes doesn't dare to shoot after missing several shots in a row. He also hesitates when there are good opportunities. Ye Feng provided Thornton with a screen, and Thornton's offensive efficiency with the ball was also very low. He only scored one goal in 4 shots.
The Clippers made a few rounds and were quickly overtaken by the Heat. The pick-and-roll cooperation between James and Bosh is very sharp. The first quarter is over. The Clippers were 5 points behind 24 to 29.
Ye Feng scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, but was locked out in the second half. Seeing that his teammates were not feeling well, he knew he was going to be in trouble.
In the second quarter, the Clippers sent Gasol, Thackeray, Harrison, Thornton, and Thomas. Prepare to use two defenders to strengthen the breakthrough and break the Heat's defense. The Heat sent Haslem, Parsons, Lewis, Ray Allen, and Moore. A small lineup also wants to use mobility to contain the Clippers' offense.
The Heat's strategy worked. The Clippers' backcourt double-gun met the Heat's small lineup that was good at defending pick-and-rolls, but it did not produce the results Thibodeau wanted. Gasol has a height advantage over Haslem. He can attack the inside and become the main scoring point. On the Heat side, Parsons and Ray Allen were very active, and Moore also hit a three-pointer from the outside.
Thibodeau frowned more and more off the court. The Heat are much better than the last finals. It is also difficult to find weaknesses in James' personal skills.
Ye Feng is also a little impatient. Although he performs normally, he can't change his teammates if they are not in good condition. Role players missed a lot of shots againSingle ball. You can still come back after losing three games against the Mavericks, but it is much harder to come back against the Heat.
This game is not easy to play. The problem is not Ye Feng, but whether his teammates can score the ball after Ye Feng attracts double-teams. The feeling of being powerless when he was with the Grizzlies came back to Ye Feng's mind. Of course, the current Clippers are much better than the Grizzlies back then.
When he returned to the court, the Heat spared no effort in defending Ye Feng, allowing James and Bosh to double-team him, whether in the high or low post. At this time, role players must stand up, but Barnes, Harrison, Thornton and others are all dumb.
Thornton can compete with many second-rate stars on the outside. He is good in strength, but he is obviously inferior against Wade, and Wade has the advantage in speed. Defending Wade one-on-one, both Thornton and Barnes suffered. Many people began to miss Tony Allen. He was a more successful player in guarding Wade. He always stayed close to the ball and made it difficult for opponents to catch the ball. Barnes is not as good as Tony Allen in defending without the ball. The advantage is that he can shoot from mid-to-long range on the offensive end. Today, his shooting accuracy was very poor, so it has no effect.
The Clippers made only two of their 12 three-pointers in the first half, trailing by 10 points 50-60.
During halftime, assistant coaches Hardaway and Mahon taught the players in the locker room, asking them to calm down and not take James, Wade and others too seriously. It is difficult to fight against those who are superior to others. What newcomers need is the momentum of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
This kind of thing is easier said than done. If newcomers are not afraid of superstars and can win if they dare to fight and fight hard, can those people still be called superstars?
In the second half, the Heat's Big Three continued to control the situation. Ye Feng could not maintain a stable mentality. After double-teaming him for a period of time, the Heat suddenly turned to a one-man defense again, guarding against others and allowing James and Ye Feng to face off.
With the score leading, James has a lot of confidence. His singles ability is definitely among the top five in the league. Although his label is all-round, scoring more than 25 points per game is a piece of cake for him. If he can guarantee his shots, 30+ points is not a big problem. Ye Feng's one-on-one defense is also very laborious. Back then, Smith could share the pressure with the Clippers, but now Ye Feng can only rely on himself.
James hit two jump shots and a breakthrough layup, continuing to expand the score. Ye Feng fell into a singles situation on the offensive end and had a split with James. In the same one-on-one situation, the shooting percentage when passing to teammates may not be as good as his.
The Clippers' shooting percentage is only 38.3%, and Ye Feng's shooting percentage is less than 50%, which is also above the team average. Ye Feng personally scored 14 points in this quarter, but the Clippers fell behind by 15 points, 74 to 89.
Barkley sighed: "If we continue like this, the Clippers will be in trouble. The role players cannot provide help to Ye Feng, but the Heat's Big Four have maintained a stable performance. Ray Allen's three-pointer near the end has a psychological impact on the Clippers players." It¡¯s also a big blow.¡±
O'Neal said: "I think Ye Feng must be very upset right now. Although he won't say it, looking at the close-up just now, the depression is written on his face. The Clippers' lineup has shortcomings, but the Heat have no obvious weaknesses. . Considering Ye Feng¡¯s data, we can no longer ask him to do more. The lag is all a problem for role players.¡±
Ye Feng¡¯s postseason averages include 4.5 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. After getting 31 rebounds in a single game against the Mavericks, his rebounding numbers soared. He was among the best in the team in all statistics, and his teammates' reliance on him became more and more obvious.
In the fourth quarter, Thibodeau had no choice but to give it a try and let the Gasol brothers set up a double screen from the outside, allowing Ye Feng to take unlimited shots. This is the most direct way for the Clippers to chase points. If Ye Feng can ensure his touch, he can win the game.
After the game started, Ye Feng soon made the fans a little excited. He caught the ball in the low post, took a step with his back, swayed his left shoulder, turned to the middle and used the "Golden Rooster**" fake move to shake James. Starting from the beginning, the score also caused James to foul. After hitting the extra free throw, he completed 2+1.
Then Ye Feng took the ball at the top of the arc and hit a three-pointer through Gasol's screen, narrowing the point difference to double digits in one breath.
But then the Heat strengthened their defense and began to double-team Ye Feng, making him uncomfortable every time he caught the ball. James spared no effort to defend closely, turning into a blue-collar, and leaving the offense to his teammates.
James is the main defender, Wade is the main attacker, and Ye Feng cannot perform well on the defensive end. The Clippers compressed their defense to prevent Wade from breaking through. Parsons and Ray Allen started shooting again on the outside. Within a few minutes, the score was widened again.
It seems that no matter how we defend, there will be holes in the Clippers' defense, and Thibodeau can't make up for it. Not only did the Heat score a lot, they looked easy, getting open space one after another.
There were three minutes left in the game, and the point difference widened to 17 points, and the Clippers could not catch up. The fans were disappointed and had an ominous premonition.Fire is really, really strong.
The game entered garbage time early. The Clippers lost to the Heat 99-116, losing their first home game. ! ~!
