Chapter 135: Mind Attack
An imminent violence on the pitch was erased by a heroic referee. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although it was a game that was broadcast live in the United States, the negative impact on the NBA was minimized because of the decisiveness of the referees.
It is foreseeable that the referee will definitely be highly praised by the league's top management after the game, and promotion and salary increase are not a dream.
The referee's punishment for both sides of the incident can be said to be a lenient punishment. But the fans who watched the game at the Oracle Arena were not happy.
It's the home of the Warriors!
Why is the referee suspected of favoring the opponent?
Instead of punishing Yi Feng, he punishing Draymond Green!
A lot of times, fans are not very rational. Although Yi Feng provoked Klay Thompson in front and played Draymond Green in the back, these actions will not be punished on the court.
On the contrary, after Draymond Green was shaken off with a feint, he was angry and wanted to fight, and he lost and lost! Just giving him a technical foul is already a lot of face.
If there is a home whistle in the NBA and a home court advantage, then this time the referee's decision is the home whistle.
Taking advantage of Yi Feng to execute Draymond Green's free throw for this technical foul, the courtside commentary bench also started talking.
This time, Maddie's opposition to Chris Webb is very obvious.
Webb thinks that Draymond Green's approach of doing what he says and doing if he doesn't accept it is very manly, but Maddie thinks Green's behavior is simply stupid.
Webb shouted, "The NBA belongs to the battlefield of men!" Cowards have no room to survive here! When dignity is provoked, clench your fists to defend your dignity, this is a man! ”
Maddie also showed no weakness, "Defending dignity by force also depends on what occasion!" As you said, this is the NBA, it's the place to play basketball! This is not WWE (full name World-Wrestling-Entertainment, which translates to World Wrestling Entertainment, the world's No. 1 Wrestling League)! ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't defend your opponent, just get it back next time. Why do you have to fight with people, does this show your strength? It's not enough to lose, it's all home. ”
Webb's eyes widened, "What a shame! It's a shame to be a coward who is bullied but doesn't dare to speak up! ”
Maddie also changed his usual look of worry, glaring angrily, "If you don't fight with people, you're a coward?" It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, understand? Only the little man will be rewarded! ”
Mark Jackson is also drunk, these two rookie commentators, one by one, are sharp, and no one is willing to make the slightest concession. The fight on the field didn't start, but you were about to fight!
"Alright, alright!"
Mark Jackson scolded: "It's not a shame for you to be arguing like this in front of the people of the whole country in such a major live event!" Where is there still a little bit of the image of a public figure? ”
Jackson's words are quite a bit of a waking dreamer, Maddie and Webb did not continue to quarrel, it seems that they still care about their own image.
Yi Feng sent Draymond Green to the door to score and firmly grasped it - when it came to free throws, Yi Feng was not afraid of anyone, and his free throw shooting rate of more than 95 percent was currently ranked first in the league.
Coincidentally, Curry ranked behind Yi Feng with a 91.3 percent free throw shooting percentage - once again suppressed by Yi Feng.
While Yi Feng added another point to the team, he also helped the team successfully complete the score overtake, and the Lakers led 52:51, the first time in the game!
The Warriors have been leading since the opening and are now losing a lot of good times, and there is no one more upset than Draymond Green. However, the technical foul given by the referee still shocked him and made him a little more honest, although he was unhappy, he didn't dare to make any big moves that had nothing to do with basketball.
In Draymond Green's resentful eyes, the Lakers let Hibbert stand out of bounds to serve after Yi Feng executed a no-position free throw - a technical foul penalty is a throw.
While the referee was taking the ball over to Hibbert, Yi Feng found Kobe Bryant and whispered a few words. Kobe Bryant nodded, indicating that he understood - now that the Lakers have finally turned over, of course they must grasp it well. Yi Feng decided to play a tactical match in this offensive opportunity that Draymond Green gave them.
Because he didn't expect Draymond Green to just let himself fail, and Klay Thompson was silent in the face of his provocations, even when he and Green almost clashed. But Yi Feng knows that the Buddha will also be angry, and although Clay Thompson has the nickname of "Buddha", his realm is still far from the Buddha.
Therefore, if he still wants to play alone this time, it is likely that he will face a two-man bag.
Klay Thompson and Draymond Green can be said to be the Warriors' two defensive gates, one inside and one outside, and their defensive skills are not easy to match.
In the face of their bags, even if it is Yi Feng, he does not dare to hold it up easily. Because now the Lakers are finally ahead, and morale is on the rise. If he wins one-on-two, it would be fine, and the morale would be higher, but the probability of this is not high; And if he doesn't make it this time, then the Warriors may be able to move the momentum back in one go. At that time, it will be difficult for the Lakers to turn over again.
So he chose to borrow the strength of his teammates to make a more stable attack.
Hibbert was often chosen to execute out-of-bounds serves. Although as an interior player, his passing skills are not as good as that of a defender, but he has a height that a defender cannot surpass in his life. This gives him a very wide field of vision for passing.
After learning of Yi Feng's plan, Kobe Bryant personally ran out of the three-point line to receive Hibbert's serve.
He then dribbled to the top of the arc and, in the face of Harrison Barnes' defense, calmly gestured with his right hand — not a middle finger to Barnes, of course, who was now past the competitive age — and motioned for his teammates to run tactically.
On the court, Clarkson, Randle and other Lakers players saw the boss personally holding the ball at the top of the arc and completely transformed into a playmaker, and then looked at his gestures, and knew what to do next.
Randle and Hibbert, two big men on the inside, pulled out and stood at each end of the free-throw line -- in fact, the starting style of this cross-run strategy is somewhat similar to the "elevator" tactics that the Warriors have used before, but it is a little different.
Basically, every NBA team will have some cross-running tactics. Generally speaking, the main point of this tactic is that the ball carrier is at the top of the arc, the shooter is ambushed under the basket, and then there are blocks on either side of the free throw line, and the shooter can choose any one of the left and right blocks to run and get an open space.
And the "elevator" tactic can be said to be the ultimate version of this cross-running tactic.
The "elevator" tactic takes the pick-and-roll to the extreme - two pick-and-roll players are close together, even if you are as strong as LeBron James, you can't squeeze through the pick-and-roll cover of the two without fouling; And then this tactic also gave up the fight for rebounds more completely.
The Lakers also have their own cross-run tactics, and the offensive endpoint of the tactics is Yi Feng. The whole team has 100% trust in Yi Feng's shooting ability, so his teammates are very hard working when creating opportunities for Yi Feng.
After Randle and Hibbert made a good block at both ends of the free throw line, Yi Feng, who was lying in ambush under the basket, began to use off-ball running skills to escape Klay Thompson's defense.
After the unforgettable failure of the last defense, Klay Thompson gave himself a death order in his heart this time, he must guard against Yi Feng!
Because it was not an easy failure, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was humiliating. Thompson felt that he was humiliated as if he was pressed to the ground and slapped in the face by Yi Feng.
Every time I think about it, my face is a little hot.
So Yi Feng found that he couldn't get rid of Thompson a little - Thompson, who had already been ruthless, chased after him with a hideous face, where would Yi Feng get rid of it so easily.
Although he couldn't shake off Thompson, Yi Feng didn't care too much. Fortunately, I have communicated with Kobe Bryant before, and I plan to use the strength of my teammates for this offense, otherwise he may still feel a little difficult to face the crazy Thompson alone.
The two of them were like swimming fish, shuttling through the crowd.
Thompson is already proficient in this way, and when it comes to running without the ball, he can definitely be considered the best in the league. So chasing Yi Feng, who runs without the ball, he is familiar with the road.
Although Yi Feng's off-ball skills are good, there is still a gap compared to Thompson. Because before he came to the United States, he had never been exposed to off-ball technology. Even with his ability to learn against the sky, he couldn't improve his off-ball skills to the level of Klay Thompson in such a short period of time.
But Yi Feng has his own advantages, his speed and agility are above Thompson, and the attacking side is already in the initiative. Where Yi Feng runs, whether to stop or run back, is up to him. So even Thompson, who was familiar with the road, couldn't catch the slippery loach-like Yi Feng.
Thompson, who changed his usual calm and calm, with a hideous expression on his face, was obviously really angry. But it didn't work, as Yi Feng crossed the free-throw line and bypassed Randle's broad frame, and Thompson tripped over Randle's hurdle.
It wasn't that Thompson was actually tripped by Randle, but by this solid pick-and-roll that Randle did. In order to block Thompson more thoroughly, Randle even quietly pulled Thompson's jersey.
Randle stands on the left end of the free-throw line. Therefore, after Yi Feng bypassed him, he came to the left 45° outside the three-point line.
Kobe, who held the ball at the top of the arc, sent the ball to Yi Feng, who appeared outside the three-point line and had an empty space, in a timely manner - the boss's passing ability was still good.
Even with the interference of the "North Carolina Flying Eagles" Barnes, the basketball was accurately passed to Yi Feng.
For the sake of safety, after Yi Feng received the ball, he dribbled the ball and adjusted his feel before raising his hand to throw the ball.
And basketball did not live up to Yi Feng's adjustment this time, and obediently got into the basket.
At 55:51, Yi Feng's three-pointer helped the Lakers extend their lead to 4 points.
Of course, for the Warriors, a team with a super strong offense, a four-point deficit is nothing at all. Usually they raise two three-pointers to easily erase the gap.
But the Warriors at this time are different, they are in trouble, and they are no longer the usual Warriors.
As head coach, Steve Kerr is naturally keenly aware of the problem. So he asked for a timeout again.
Cole's face was not good-looking. He knew that if the players' problems were not addressed, the Warriors could be in danger in this game.
There are a lot of people who can see that the Warriors have problems, and Mark Jackson is one of them.
"The Warriors are in trouble right now," he said. ”
Maddie was quick to respond, "yes, they're in big trouble." ”
Chris Webber disagreed, "What's the trouble, isn't it just 4 points behind, just shoot two three-pointers and solve it, it's a trivial matter!" ”
Mark Jackson ignored the disapproving Chris Webber and said, "First Stephen, then Klay and Drummond, the most important people on the Warriors all have problems. If you think about it, this Chinese kid is really scary! ”
Webb was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with them?" Why can't I see it? ”
Maddie didn't forget to slap him, "Of course, a rookie can't have a sharp eye and a wise mind. ”
Jackson doesn't have to think about it to know that the two will be locked in a war of words next. In order to make his ears clearer, he directly stopped the conflict between the two that had not yet broken out, and said: "The Chinese kid has repeatedly performed amazingly in this game. When facing Stephen, he used Stephen's favorite offensive defense to catch Stephen off guard and make Stephen very embarrassed. However, looking back, Stephen, who wanted to respond to the answer-ball, was completely stunned with a blood cap and dunk. ”
"And the breakthrough Clay just now, teasing Drummond's attack, also made these two people angry."
"Just the Chinese kid alone has caused problems with the mentality of the three main players of the Warriors, don't you think the Chinese kid is terrible? Could it be that the Warriors, who have problems with the three main players, are not in big trouble in the face of such a terrible Chinese boy? ”
Use soldiers to attack the heart for the top, and siege the city for the bottom; Psychological warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom.
This is the period of the Three Kingdoms, and Ma Jian gave advice to Zhuge Liang during his southern expedition. The court is like a battlefield, and the way of using soldiers on the battlefield can also be used for basketball.
In terms of ball skills, although Yi Feng is only a rookie, the gap with Curry, Thompson and others is not big, and even in some aspects, he can surpass them.
In terms of physical fitness, Yi Feng is better than Curry and Thompson in some aspects, such as speed, flexibility, bounce, etc., but in terms of strength, Yi Feng cannot have an advantage.
They have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the victory or defeat of the opponent mainly depends on the on-the-spot performance. Whoever is able to play to his strengths is more likely to win. If you can't give full play to your strengths, you will face failure.
It is not the best way to make a person unable to exert his abilities and forcibly restrict him from the outside. The best thing to do is to let his own form go wrong, so that his abilities cannot be fully utilized.
Every word and deed of a person is controlled by the brain. And the brain is precisely the most uncontrolled thing, as soon as it is stimulated, it ceases to obey and begins to think crankily.
In the face of the powerful Warriors, Yi Feng's choice to attack the heart is undoubtedly a very correct decision. (To be continued.) )
