The Clippers attacked, and Ye Feng provided Thomas with a cover again. This time James hesitated a little when changing defense, and Thomas succeeded in breaking through. Speed ??is Thomas' most advantageous weapon. The Heat's inside players had no time to cover up, and he made a pull-up jumper. 5 to 2.
??If you want to ask which rookie last year was the most talked about, it was not Chris Irving or golden boy Rubio, but the Clippers' 60th rookie Isiah Thomas. Despite his low pick, Thomas still made his mark through hard work. Thomas said in an interview after a game, "I always play with pressure, and that gives me a lot of motivation. Every time I walk into the field, I think, okay, this team also missed me. They didn't pick me either. Every day, that thought is in the back of my mind. I want to go out there and show them how special it was to miss me."
Thomas always wants to prove the doubters wrong, never underestimate a hard-working fishing line
People no longer view Thomas as a rookie, he is a competent role player.
Ye Feng pulled to the outside to cover, disrupting the Heat's defensive deployment. He plays the 4th position, with the tactic of 1 big player leading 4 small players, which makes it easier to evacuate the inside line. Bosh and Dalembert always have to guard someone, and except for Marc Gasol, everyone else on the Clippers is on the outside. This is a true circular tactic. Four outside players and Gasol in the low post form a circle, making it difficult for the Heat to double-team.
The Heat attacked, Bosh moved to the high post to cover, and Ye Feng switched to defend Wade. Ye Feng maintains a half-step distance and can block the block and make a pull-up jumper. He is not afraid of Wade forcing a breakthrough. He can chase the block from behind. Unless Wade quickly throws up while running, it will be difficult to avoid the block and attack like that. The efficiency will not be very high.
James and Wade both have shooting percentages above 50%, and Bosh is also close to this number. This is the scariest thing about the Heat. The three of them will take up a lot of shots in every game. How to reduce the offensive efficiency of the Big Three is the key to winning.
Spoelstra specifically instructed to avoid Ye Feng¡¯s offense and not to challenge the opponent¡¯s strongest defensive point. So Wade saw Ye Feng coming up. Immediately passed the ball to the outside. Bosh took the ball without making a strong throw and gave it to James again.
James faced Barnes on the outside and suddenly made a three-pointer after dribbling under his hips. Barnes's judgment was correct, but James' shooting point was too high and he couldn't cover it, and the ball hit. 5 to 5.
James¡¯ three-pointers are also very accurate. The regular season shooting percentage is above 40%.
When the Clippers attacked, Ye Feng still pulled to the outside to cover Thomas. This time the person who came out was Bosh. James let go of Barnes to guard Ye Feng, and Chalmers took turns to guard Barnes. The Heat players also have a tacit understanding and know how to adjust themselves. Thomas passed to Gasol, and Ye Feng rushed towards Gasol and found a screen. Gasol passed the ball to Ye Feng in the high post. Help him get rid of James' entanglement.
Dalembert switches defense, how can he be polite to this old man Ye Feng? He picked up the ball and accelerated towards the basket. When he was about to hit Dalembert, he took a long stride and turned around to the middle. Leap high. Dalembert jumped up to block the shot. Ye Feng pulled the lever in the air to avoid the block and scored with his right hand. 7 to 5.
It was another pleasing offense, and the fans shouted "mvp" excitedly!
The Heat attacked and James caught the ball at the top of the arc. This time, Barnes defended closely. James leaned back twice and passed to Wade. Dalembert picks and rolls, Wade breaks through, and Gasol switches defense. Wade relied on his speed advantage to break through. Gasol moved back and missed the jump shot. Ye Feng blocked Bosh and grabbed the rebound.
The Heat players returned to defense very quickly. Ye Feng passed the ball to Thomas and slowly ran towards the Heat half. The person who mainly defends him is Bosh. Ye Feng gave up the pick-and-roll and asked for the ball in the low post. Thomas passed to Harrison. He ran to the bottom corner and waited for the opportunity. Harrison used his height advantage to pass the ball over Wade's head to Ye Feng.
James cannot switch defense on the weak side. At this time, Wade can only let Harrison go to double-team. Harrison has a strong shooting ability, and Wade is also hesitant. Ye Feng caught the ball and leaned against Bosh and hit his back inside. He shook his right shoulder slightly and used his left foot as a pivot. He took a step with his right foot and then took it back, turning towards the baseline. Bosh saw through his fake move, took a step laterally, and jumped to block Ye Feng's jump shot. However, Ye Feng raised his hand to shoot and it was also a fake move. He raised one foot but did not take off. His left foot remained firmly on the ground. This sublimated version of the "Golden Rooster**" has been considered one of the most powerful fake moves in the league. There are only a few people who can imitate it. This requires a good sense of balance. Seeing Bosh jump up, Ye Feng immediately leaned forward and bumped into Bosh. At the same time, he threw the ball sideways. The ball missed the frame, but the referee blew the whistle and he won a free throw.
Ye Feng made two free throws, 9-5.
Ye Feng played very flexibly in the opening game and scored consecutively. To become a star, in addition to skills, understanding is more important.
Kenny Smith said: "Ye Feng's basketball IQ may be the highest. He always knows how to seize the opponent's weaknesses and attack."
Barkley said: "If Bosh is troubled by fouls and his playing time is reduced, the advantage will be on the Clippers' side."
The Heat also have problems inside. Bosh is the only star. If he leaves the game, the inside strength will be greatly reduced. Ye Feng calculated exactly this.
The Heat attacked, and Bosh asked for the ball in the low post on the right, wanting to retaliate to Ye Feng. Back then, he was the absolute core of the Raptors and was known as the "Dragon King". He led the team to the playoffs by himself. Since losing him, the Raptors have never made the playoffs again and are at the bottom of the league every year. This shows his importance to the team system.
When he arrived with the Heat, no one regarded Bosh as a leader, but his performance was worthy of the title of the third giant. James lobbed the ball to Bosh, and the Clippers had no one to defend them. Thibodeau needs to fight the Heat in a retro way, insisting on one-on-one, and not double-teaming unless absolutely necessary. This ability can control the Heat's outside shooting. Their three-pointers killed the Clippers in the last game.
Ye Feng resisted Bosh and refused to give an inch. He is stronger than Bosh physically, and his lower body is very stable. Bosh couldn't squeeze, so he turned around in the middle, preparing to score the ball with his height advantage. At the same time as Bosh turned around, Ye Feng turned around and bent his knees, deliberately following a little slower, leaving room for him to jump.
He expected that Bosh would never do fake moves again. It would be redundant to do fake moves because of his height advantage. Seeing through this, Bosh is doomed. He jumped up and shot a hook shot, and the arc of the shot was not high. Ye Feng took off from the side with all his strength, his head was flat, his right hand was a long way above the basket, and he slapped the ball out.
Terrible explosive power, this big block slapped Bosh. Unexpectedly, even the hook shot was blocked. Ye Feng's number of blocks has decreased in the past two years, causing many people to forget that he was once a strong figure who had double figures in blocks in a single game.
Barnes picked up the basketball and immediately launched a counterattack, passing the ball to Thomas who was about to leave. The Clippers may not necessarily have to fight positional battles every time. Barnes is experienced and understands that Thomas' speed is a great threat and can be used in fast breaks.
Thomas received the ball and rushed forward, shook Chalmers away, and entered the penalty area for a layup. James quickly caught up behind him, took off before Thomas, flew into the penalty area, nailed the ball on the backboard and popped it out.
This goal was more beautiful than Ye Feng's goal just now, but the ball was picked up by Barnes who was following. Wade was defending in front of him. Barnes did not attack hard and passed the ball to Ye Feng in the middle. It was better than Speed, how can Bosh be Ye Feng's opponent? He broke into the middle and took the ball. James, who had just completed the block, returned to the basket again.
The two faced off again. Ye Feng held the ball in one hand and took off with all his strength, without any fake moves, preparing for a frontal dunk. James also jumped up, tensed his muscles, and pressed his right hand towards the basketball.
At this moment, time seems to have stopped. It is said that many Chinese fans felt the momentum of "a ball coming from the west and a gorilla flying from the sky"
The two collided in the air, and Ye Feng's tomahawk dunk hit the basket hard. James was in the air and had the idea of ??regretting the competition. He once blocked the dunks of Kobe, Anthony and others under the basket, but Ye Feng was different. The two had similar jumping and explosive power. If they were too close to the basket, James could not block it. He pressed down.
The ball dunked into the basket! James landed unstable and fell out of the bottom line! Although Ye Feng's body was also tilted, he relied on his strong sense of balance to land on one leg and stabilize his body. He looked up to the sky and roared, assuming a victor's posture.
James immediately got up, his face looking very ugly. He was dunked, and this goal will definitely remain in the memories of fans forever.
Staples Center gave out shocking cheers. Barkley and O'Neal also opened their mouths. They didn't know what to say and could only scream!
This is a goal of extraordinary significance, which has a huge impact on the morale of the Heat team.
11 to 5. Spoelstra requested a timeout!
This timeout was called very timely. Bosh was blocked, James was dunked, and the Clippers were already gaining momentum. The Clippers are a team that is prone to offensive attacks. If they wait until they are successful before calling a timeout, they may dig a big hole that will never be filled. Even a timeout may not be effective.
As soon as the players came off the field, Spoelstra shouted: "Don't worry! The score is not wide, so we must keep calm. What we want is to win. It doesn't matter if Ye Feng scores high! We can win! LeBron , don¡¯t compete with him anymore! The Clippers definitely want you to do that.¡±
"Does the Clippers want me to do this? Everyone thinks I'm not as good as Ye Feng?" James took a deep breath and thought to himself. This ball hit him hard. His physical fitness is recognized as the strongest in the league, why can't he win?
Physical fitness is important in basketball, but it is not everything. Ye Feng?With the understanding and persistence that James does not have. Maybe the only thing that James is not as good as Ye Feng is his mentality! This point determines the gap between the two, like a ravine (To be continued)
