As we all know, starting in 2004, the NBA will enter the era of small ball, that is, the era of modern basketball, in a few years.

There is a saying that in the past, there was a clear division of labor between the five positions in basketball, and each position had its own responsibilities.

For example, a playmaker is to organize the team's offense, and a scoring guard is 3D, responsible for shooting and defense.

However, in the era of small ball, playmaking guards need strong scoring ability, and scoring guards also need a certain amount of organizational ability.

With five positions on the pitch, the division of labor has become somewhat blurred.

The center can do the things of the defenders, and the defenders can also do the things of the centers, which is not so clear-cut.

Some people even say that the future of basketball doesn't need a guard, it doesn't need a center, just five small forwards.

What kind of small forward?

He is about 203 cm tall and is as versatile as James, who can organize, break through, shoot, and grab rebounds...... In short, it is all-powerful.

To put it simply, you can imagine 5 James playing 5 Magic, and this could be the basketball model of the future.

Looking back at this Pistons team, do you kind of get the idea.

The 201-centimeter Hamilton, the 206-centimeter Prince, and the 206-centimeter Big Book are not some shadows of future basketball in them.

Look at Big Ben, there has never been such a center in history, who does not occupy the basket, survives by supplementing defense, assisting defense, and protecting the basket, with flexible feet and extremely fast speed, which is also a unique template.

If Big Ben has a good shooting hand, it's definitely the standard interior in the small-ball era.

......

In the second half, although the Cavaliers were relatively far behind, they were unwilling to admit defeat and flexibly change formations to find the possibility of a comeback.

But no matter how he changed the formation, he never turned defeat into victory.

Until he almost gave up the game, only Ye Feng was left to insist.

In the last quarter, Ye Feng abandoned all the ideas of decency, threw around like crazy, shot when there was a little space, and dared to shoot 3 meters outside the three-point line.

And this set off a wave of counteroffensive frenzy.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

When one unreasonable three-pointer shot into the basket, the Cavaliers roared, and the Pistons were in a hurry and immediately replaced the main force again.

And Ye Feng still doesn't care, he throws it when he has the opportunity, even if he doesn't enter, he will never let him hesitate to make the next move.

Because Ye Feng has already seen through it.

With the current Cavaliers alone, it is impossible for any tactics to defeat the Pistons, at least Ye Feng can't think of it.

In this case, simply put aside the victory or defeat, be willful once, and vote as you want?

Why can Kobe beat the robotic Spurs, and why can Maddie beat the super defensive team led by the Pistons and the Tigers?

Because they're unreasonable.

When they met them, the reasonable Spurs and Pistons were confused.

Can you still play like this? Dare to shoot this ball? This ball shouldn't be played like this!

Kobe and Maddy's way of playing may be unreasonable, but the Spurs and Pistons are afraid of such unreasonableness, and there is no way to do it, because their team building philosophy is reasonable tactics.

Therefore, Ye Feng identified this path.

No more pressure, no more baggage, just take action when you have the opportunity.

God also seems to have given Ye Feng face, making Ye Feng's hand feel extremely hot, and Billups can throw in difficult three-point shots when he is close.

Brush!

Billups looked at the net waves swinging from the Nets, smiled wryly, and looked helpless.

It's a pity that Ye Feng doesn't have the ability and talent of Kobe and Maddie after all, and as soon as he feels cold, he is immediately beaten back to his original shape.

The Pistons relied on defense and widened the score a little bit to win.

At 99:87, the Pistons won by a big score.

But in the last quarter, Ye Feng scored 19 points in a single quarter, shooting 5 of 7 three-pointers and 2 of 4 two-pointers, which scared the Pistons out of a cold sweat.

In the whole game, Ye Feng scored a total of 35 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, including 8 of 12 three-point shots, and scored the highest score in the game.

It's a pity that everyone else didn't play well.

James shot just 5-of-17 from the field, shooting less than 30 percent, and finished with 15 points and seven rebounds.

Ilgauskas had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Boozer had 7 points and 14 rebounds, and Williams had 6 points and 4 rebounds......

This side of the pistons.

Billups had 18 points and six assists, Hamilton 14, Prince 13, Rashid 10, Oku 13 and Williams 12...... As many as 6 players in the team scored double-doubles.

In addition, Darko Milicic played 7 minutes and only had 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.

......

At this point, the Cavaliers have five games left in March.

On March 23, he played at home against the Suns.

Smalls, Joe Johnson, and Marion broke out at the same time, scoring 21 points and 11 rebounds, 31 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, 20 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists respectively, totaling 72 points.

But the knight's side.

Ye Feng had 22 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists, James had 25 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, Boozer had 19 points and 16 rebounds, and Ilgoskas had 16 points and 6 rebounds, and the four had a total of 82 points, which was even better.

In the end, at 116-109, the Cavaliers decided the victory in the last minute.

......

On March 26, they played the 76ers away.

The absence of Aaron Iverson and Robinson "The Big Dog" took the suspense out of the game.

At 101:77, the Cavaliers won by a big margin.

Ye Feng had 15 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, playing steadily.

......

On March 27, the Cavaliers played back-to-back games against the Nets.

Fortunately, the game of the previous day was not tiring, and the players were generally young, so they were not affected by fatigue.

The game was very intense.

The Nets trio led by Kidd, plus Corey Kidders, who has been in good form recently, the Nets are playing very strongly, both offensively and defensively.

But James played better tonight, with 41 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists and 3 steals, James was almost superb, becoming the first rookie in the class of 2003 to score 40 points.

In addition, Ye Feng had 19 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Boozer had 21 points and 11 rebounds, and Ilgoskas had 17 points and 11 rebounds.

At 111:109, Ye Feng locked the win with a quasi-lore at the last moment.

And with Richard Jefferson's last shot missed, the game was over.

......

On March 29, the Cavaliers took on defending champion Spurs on the road.

In this game, Duncan only played 28 minutes, scoring 18 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and the data is not explosive.

But as a widely accepted saying among fans, the better Duncan's stats on the Spurs, the worse the rest of the Spurs are playing and the harder it is for the team to win. And the worse Duncan's stats, the better the Spurs played as a team, and the victory was easy.

It took only three quarters, 86-65, for the Spurs to win by 21 points, turning the final quarter into garbage time.

The Spurs are still all soldiers, with 11 players playing, all scored, and five players hanging zero.

Conversely, the Cavaliers have fewer appearances and a few rotations have done little to no show.

The four main players did not play well, and it was natural for the team to lose.

Ye Feng had 19 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, which was already his best performance.

At 101:93, the Spurs played very badly in the final quarter, but still won the victory.
