Chapter 41: Against Billups
"Oh my God, this goal went in. Although it was not the first time I had seen Ye Tou with such a long three points, I still couldn't help but scream. ”
It took a good three seconds for Smith to let out an exclamation, but was quickly drowned out in the boos of Pistons fans.
It's also an NBA culture that the home fans booed the visitors for everything they did.
Amid the boos, Billups stared at Ye Feng's back, his mind churning.
He clearly saw that the moment Ye Feng made a move, he began to turn around and run to the backcourt, not observing whether the basketball that flew out was in or not.
This kind of performance is so confident!
If you don't go in, it's okay, the key is to get in, which makes Billups vigilant.
After receiving Big Ben's serve, Billups looked at the scoreboard for a 22-11 score, shook his head, and began to advance with the ball.
He doesn't care about single-digit scoring gimmicks in a single quarter, but the impact of that kind of scoring on Cavaliers players is real.
Now, with Ye Feng's three-point shot, the shackles in the hearts of all the players in the Cavaliers have been shattered, and Paul's face has slowly returned to normal.
This shot is really not just an ordinary three-point shot. Billups had an accurate judgment in mind.
As he passed the bench, Larry Brown told Billups, "Don't worry, that guy's three-pointer is just luck, not the norm." Continue to shrink the inside line and don't give James room to break through. ”
Billups didn't quite agree, but he was unwilling to disobey Brown's order, and nodded in agreement.
On the offensive end, the Pistons, without Hamilton, have reduced their attack by at least half.
And the Cavaliers, the forward defense group composed of James and Dalius has overflowed to the naked eye, and the two veterans of the Pistons can be defended to death, and they can also make up and assist in various defenses.
With 24 seconds left to go, Atkins forced a shot that didn't go in, and the rebound was collected by Boozer.
Boozer handed it to Ye Feng, and Ye Feng was about to attack quickly with the ball, but Billups directly entangled, blocked Ye Feng, and extinguished the Cavaliers' fast attack from the source.
Ye Feng looked at Billups with a complicated expression, this guy is really amazing.
If he could run just now, the young knight in the fast break could burst the old pistons. But Billups saw this in advance and prevented what might have happened.
It's horrible!
Such a move would not add any stats to Billups, and fans would not necessarily see what Billups was capable of. But only those who are in the opposite position can know how terrible he is, and this is the ability to master the game.
Billups, the brain commander of the pitch, a real playmaker.
failed to play a fast attack, and Ye Feng was not uncomfortable, after all, the ball was still in the hands of the Cavaliers.
"In that case, let's fight slowly!"
Ye Feng was advancing while observing the situation on the field.
The Pistons were still sticking to the interior, and Billups, although hesitant, finally decided to follow Larry Brown's orders and shrink the lineup.
That's why Larry Brown likes Billups, coaches like obedient players.
Of course, Ye Feng also knows that the reason why Larry Brown insists on a shrinking defensive strategy is not only because he is a paranoid old-school coach, but also because Ye Feng's three-point shot is not enough to make him feel threatened.
In Larry Brown's view, Ye Feng's kind of shooting shot from a meter outside the three-point line in the first 7 seconds, which is more like a random fight, and the reason why he can score is just luck.
What's more, the previous strategy has been proven, and it is impossible to immediately change the Cavaliers because of a three-point shot.
In fact, it's not just Larry Brown who thinks so, most people in the arena think this way, and even Paul wants to tell Ye Feng to play cooperation, play inside, and don't throw blindly on the outside, this way of playing is wrong.
"Since that's the case, then I have to vote even more resolutely!"
Another meter outside the three-point line, Ye Feng stopped and raised the basketball.
Swish!
The same position, the same person, the same arc, the basketball landed in the basket with unmistakable accuracy.
22:14!
And before that, Ye Feng had already turned around and ran to the backfield.
This time, not only Billups noticed, but many fans saw it clearly, Ye Feng began to defend after he shot, and he was extremely confident.
Hush!
The fans of the Motor City booed as usual.
But at the same time, many people also voiced their dissatisfaction with the coach of the home team.
"Hey! Knowing that this guy's three-point shot is so accurate, why do you still let him shoot, is that how Larry teaches the players? ”
"No donkey trips over a rock twice, only Larry Brown does!"
......
Larry Brown's face is ugly, what tactics do these fans know? It's all about seeing the wind and making the rudder, with hindsight.
However, at this time, Larry Brown really didn't dare to let Ye Feng continue to vote, and if he let Ye Feng enter the third one, he couldn't accept it.
"Chaun Xi, strangle that kid's long throw!"
"Yes!"
Billups, who was advancing with the ball, naturally would not object.
When he arrived at the frontcourt, Billups observed the front court again, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The Pistons' roster looks to be stronger than the Cavaliers' younger roster, but when Billups thinks about it, he doesn't have much of an advantage on the offensive end.
Not to mention Big Ben, he was born not to attack, and his scoring depends on picking up leaks. If he walks out of the paint zone, Boozer will simply let it go.
Do you have the ability to vote?
But Big Ben really didn't dare to shoot, because if he didn't score, a center whose free throws were worse than O'Neal's, what was there to be afraid of.
Oku can score, but the Cavaliers have Meme inside, and Boozer can keep up if he pulls out, and he can't get a shot.
As for the two veterans of Atkins and Williams, they are only role players, and they have a crosshairs, but they can only catch and shoot, and they do not have the ability to attack with the ball.
In this way, it is left that Billups can fight on his own.
Don't look at the fact that Billups has scored fewer points in his career, it's because he is selfless and willing to pass the ball to his teammates.
If you really want to talk about it, Billups's offensive ability is not as good as Kobe Bryant, who is a kaleidoscope, but it is at least half a kaleidoscope.
Back-to-back singles, face-frame breakouts, three-point shots, mid-range shots, Billups is proficient in everything.
In this case, Billups had no choice but to play alone, not to mention that Ye Feng looked so thin, it was definitely a breakthrough point for back-to-back singles and a hole in the Knights' defense.
This is indeed the case, when Billups leaned on Ye Feng and slammed his force, Ye Feng missed the defensive position.
Billups squeezed away Ye Feng and was about to shoot immediately.
Of course, Ye Feng didn't dare to let Billups shoot, this guy's shooting level was no less than Hamilton's. So Ye Feng immediately jumped up and pounced on the cover.
Unexpectedly, Billups actually collected the ball again, and then made another jump shot without hurrying, leaning towards Ye Feng's arm.
Honk~
The whistle sounded, and it was obvious that he was foul, but Ye Feng in the air had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit.
"The characteristics of the leaf are very distinct, accurate three-point, fast speed, and poor confrontation. If he can't solve the problem of confrontation, he will be eaten to death by the strong Billups. ”
Barkley explained in the live broadcast room.
In the midst of the unpleasant sound, Billups hit two free throws with a solid shot.
24:14。
The difference between the two teams is back in double digits.
