Chapter 87: Ye Feng Erupts (Two Watches)
There's a saying: Don't underestimate anyone who plays in the NBA!
When facing Boykins, Ye Feng's feeling was particularly strong.
165 centimeters, 61 kilograms, but can be the core of the Nuggets bench.
In a 13-year career, averaging 8.9 points, 1.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 0.6 steals per game, the stats speak for themselves.
He may be the shortest active NBA player, but by no means the weakest.
On the contrary, he is strong.
As soon as Ye Feng dribbled past half the court, Boykins clung closely, leaned on Ye Feng's back with both hands, and secretly exerted his strength.
(Such a maneuver was compliant in 2003, not to mention how harsh the referee would not have been on a small 165-centimeter man.) )
How? Could it be that you guys of about two meters will be pushed down by a small point?
That's the joke!
Ye Feng didn't dare to slack off, protecting the ball with one hand and dribbling with the other, observing the situation on the field.
And at the moment when Ye Feng ignored Boykins, Boykins suddenly lowered his center of gravity, and a short body slipped past Ye Feng's waist and stretched out one hand to the basketball.
Ye Feng reacted and wanted to protect the ball, but Boykins was too flexible.
Before Ye Feng could do anything, Boykins stole the ball.
"Damn it, you shouldn't relax!"
Ye Feng screamed in annoyance, chasing frantically, wanting to make up for this mistake.
However, Boykins' speed was not slow at all, and he ran steadily in front of Ye Feng.
Hit the basket, Boykins deceived Ye Feng through an emergency stop and hit a jump shot directly.
Swish!
Ball in, 22:12.
The Denver fans immediately rejoiced and cheered, even more excited than Anthony had scored.
"Hey! That's our little Earl Boykins! ”
"No one can stop the hard work of Little Earle!"
"Huaxia defender, are you trembling? Scared? On Denver's turf, Earl is invincible! ”
......
Earl Boykins is so popular with Denver fans that the cheers speak for themselves.
After all, it's 165 centimeters to play in the NBA, and this statement alone is too inspirational.
"Ye, are you alright?"
At this time, James walked over and patted Ye Feng on the shoulder.
"Watch out for rebounds!"
Ye Feng didn't answer James's question, but said something else.
James reacted instantly, patted his chest with a smile and said, "Wrap it up on me!" ”
If you make a mistake once, Ye Feng won't make it again.
And the situation on the field, Ye Feng also saw it clearly.
The Cavaliers' biggest advantage on the court is Ye Feng, so Ye Feng decided to attack without scruples.
Dribble quickly to the front court.
When there was still 1 meter away from the three-point line, Boykins was about to come up and force it, but Ye Feng directly lifted the basketball.
Boigins was stunned for a moment, then panicked, and pounced to stop Ye Feng, but in the face of 188 cm Ye Feng, he couldn't even cover his eyes in a hurry.
With a flick of the wrist, the basketball draws a graceful arc.
"This, was Ye provoked by Boikins? It's a bit irrational to chase three points when you come up! Belch...... This?! ”
The on-site commentary questioned Ye Feng.
But before he could finish speaking, the basketball slammed into the basket.
22:15。
Ye Feng replied without saying a word, calmly as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Boykins looked at Ye Feng like this, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Sure enough, the dog that barks doesn't bite, and the real ruthless person doesn't say cruel words, just does it directly.
Looking back, when Boykins held the ball again, he found that Ye Feng opened his arms, lowered his center of gravity, and was firmly stuck in front of him.
Boykins tentatively broke through twice, but found that Ye Feng was fast, and he didn't have a chance at all, so he passed the ball out.
Boykins tried to run without the ball again to look for opportunities, but found that Ye Feng had been following him closely and did not give him a chance to catch the ball at all.
"This guy is defending so hard!"
Boykins' face was a little ugly.
Sure enough, in this round, Boykins did not receive the ball.
Anthony singled and didn't score under James' tight defense.
James turned around and grabbed the rebound.
"Did you find out, the knight's rookie twins are really fighting today! James, in particular, is like a fight with Anthony! ”
Director Zhang of CCTV5 discovered this.
James dribbled forward, and the three-point line diplomacy gave Ye Feng to respond.
Ye Feng faced Boykins and directly pretended to break through and then stepped back and made a three-point jumper.
Because of the 23-centimeter height difference, as long as Boykins was deceived, it would be impossible to stop Ye Feng again.
Swish!
The goal went in again.
At 22:18, the difference was only 4 points.
The Nuggets head coach immediately asked the Nuggets to ensure their shooting percentage when attacking, and helped Boykins stop Ye Feng on the defensive end.
But Ye Feng is shooting three points, how do you help defend?
Bag clips? It's not necessary, and it's not worth the cost.
Changing guards? Anyone else can just as much as they can beat Boykins, and with a bigger advantage.
Nuggets offense.
Ye Feng continued to guard Boigins and did not give him a chance to catch the ball.
Anthony singled to draw the bag, then distributed the ball to Leonard on the perimeter and hit a long-range shot.
24:18。
Knights attack.
Ye Feng advanced to the frontcourt, leaning on Boykins is a back-to-back jumper.
Swish!
Return, 24:21.
The Nuggets head coach really couldn't sit still and called a timeout.
During this time, Ye Feng completely blew up Boykins, and the Denver fans couldn't shout boos.
On the offensive end, Boykins couldn't catch the ball.
On the defensive end, Boykins couldn't stop Ye Feng's simple and violent jump shot.
There was no choice but to replace Boykins.
Andre Miller, who had just rested for two minutes, was once again on the field.
Before the end of the game, Boykins was a little dark-faced, and asked Ye Feng angrily: "Hey, rookie, why are you targeting me so much!" ”
After many years of professional play, it was the first time that Boykins had seen a guy who was so desperate to defend in the regular season.
"Because, you're strong!"
"So, I don't dare give you any chance!"
Ye Feng replied truthfully.
"Uh...... Hahaha! ”
Boykins was stunned for a moment, then laughed and hugged Ye Feng.
"I don't like your performance, but what you say makes me happy. So I've got to tell you the truth, I haven't done my best! ”
Boykins said with a laugh.
"Wait, I'll let you know I'm great when I play again!"
*******
Anyway, when the pause came back, Ye Feng's opponent turned into a 188-centimeter Miller.
Miller is the same height as Ye Feng, but his steps are very slow.
But if you think you can break Miller with speed at will, you're thinking too much.
As a veteran, Miller is very experienced and can make the most of his teammates' reinforcements to increase his defensive intensity.
But just with these, Ye Feng can't be stopped.
After the Nuggets couldn't attack, the Cavaliers attacked again.
In this round, Ye Feng didn't stick to the ball, and when he arrived in the front court, he passed directly to James, and he began to run without the ball.
Through the cover of Darius, Ye Feng successfully got rid of Miller, who was not fast.
Then he received a pass from James and threw his fourth three-pointer.
Swish!
At 24:24, the score was finally tied.
Paul laughed, but the Nuggets head coach was very dissatisfied.
"Change the guard! Change the guard! Leonard, you're going to defend the Cavaliers' No. 1 position. ”
He regrets it a little now, he underestimated the Knight's substitute No. 1 position.
Before the game, the player report he got read: Ye Feng, No. 24, fast and good at three points.
This report is correct, but it is somewhat inaccurate.
It's not about being good at threes, it's about being very, very good at threes.
Because of this inaccuracy, Ye Feng scored 4 three-pointers in a row within three minutes of coming off the bench and directly tied the score.
