Chapter 187: Circling Forward and Speeding Up
The offensive end relies on speed, and the defensive end relies on the active running of James, Ye Feng and Darius.
The knight's strategy finally worked.
Since then, the Cavaliers have been slowly narrowing the gap and catching up step by step.
Coach Jeff Van Gundy frowned deeply, he really didn't expect that the offensive formation he had arranged would be cracked like this.
Speaking of which, the Cavaliers' defense is poor, there are no figures like Garnett and Duncan who can act as the core of the defense, and there are no defensive spearheads like Artest and Mad Men.
Of the five players present, they all had their own problems.
Ilgoskas was unstable and couldn't get stuck in position.
Boozer's 206 cm is not tall enough, and his steps are slow.
Darius is a bit slow in the 3rd position and a little short in the 4th position.
James weighs too much, and the defenders suffer from lateral speed and agility.
Ye Feng is still not strong enough, and the confrontation is weak.
But these five people actually defended the Rockets, who had an offensive system and two All-Star starters.
It sounds incredible, but when you look at it, you take it for granted.
These young men on the Cavaliers are really positive, and they are completely desperate defensively.
Although the Cavaliers can stalemate with the Rockets for the time being, Fan Shuai doesn't need to worry at all. With this defensive intensity, how long can the Cavaliers hold out? ”
"That's right, once the Cavaliers players have a physical problem, this game will be over. I'm in favor of the Cavaliers' fighting spirit, but that's not enough! ”
The on-site commentary commented.
Is it really not enough?
Ye Feng sneered, everything has just begun.
After blocking the Rockets' offense again, Boozer immediately served, and Ye Feng ran wildly with the ball.
The Rockets have understood the Cavaliers' tactics and are prepared, but Yao Ming, who is deep in the hinterland, still has no time to run.
Yao Ming's position has already determined that the distance he has to defend every time is the farthest in the field.
No way, as a big center, it's just standing under the basket that is the most threatening.
Another interior lineman, Maurice Taylor, is a little better positioned, but his footwork is not as good as Boozer's, and he can't be prepared unless he doesn't attack with all his strength and is constantly distracted by defense.
This is of course impossible.
It's the Cavaliers trident again, and Ye Feng, James, and Darius are advancing in three lines.
Francis, Mobley and Piakowski were one-on-one markers.
Among them, only Francis has the advantage of defending Ye Feng, after all, Boss Fu's physical fitness is too strong, and he always has restrictions on Ye Feng.
Mobley defends James, who is running at full strength, even if he is very good defensively, it doesn't make sense. Because of James, who rushed up, there were few people in the league who could stop him.
As for Piakowski, his defense. Well, forgot, he didn't defend.
If he had defensively, the Rockets wouldn't have used a shooter who shot nearly 40 percent from three-point range as a backup.
Ye Feng, who dribbled the ball, faced Francis in the middle, and Boss Francis was not easy.
Ye Feng can throw, burst, and pass, which makes Francis unguardable.
Just before, Ye Fengguang relied on the fast break to score 3 points and 4 assists, which was really difficult to prevent.
Just rushed into the three-point line, Ye Feng suddenly raised his hand and sent the ball to James on the left.
"Passing?"
Francis reacted very quickly and immediately moved sideways to stop Ye Feng's pass.
But at this moment, Ye Feng suddenly withdrew his hand.
Feints.
Looking closely, Ye Feng actually grabbed the ball with one hand, controlling the direction of the ball.
Ye Feng's hand was not too big, and he could barely catch the ball.
But it was such an action that completely deceived Francis.
By the time Francis reacted and wanted to go back to block Ye Feng, it was too late.
Ye Feng took three steps directly, broke through Francis's side, and then rushed directly into the basket and smashed into the basket with one hand.
Syllable!
Ball in, 55:62.
Ye Feng's dunk did not have James's wild temperament, but it was lightweight, coupled with the previous one-handed feint of grabbing the ball, which made the fans at the scene can't help cheering.
"Wow, unbelievable, Ye Feng singled Francis."
"A rookie challenged the All-Star starters, and it worked!"
"Francis was completely deceived by Ye Feng."
......
After the excitement, the fans began to boo Francis again.
It's not a big deal, after all, all the NBA home courts are like that, even if you're Jordan, you have to endure boos.
But Francis quit.
In his opinion, being played by a rookie is completely unacceptable.
"Tee!"
Francis immediately yelled at Maurice Taylor, who had just run over.
Taylor was startled, but didn't dare to disagree.
Just looking at the data and tactics, Yao Ming is now the boss of the team. But in fact, Francis is the boss of the Rockets, whether it is based on personal strength, seniority or temperament.
After Francis received the ball, he immediately ran wildly with the ball, which was copying Ye Feng's behavior just now, to play an anserball.
Yao Ming, who had just run to the backcourt, didn't even have a chance to catch his breath, so he could only run to the front court again.
The rest of Team Rocket had no choice but to follow.
As for the Cavaliers, they can only defend back.
Helplessly, Francis ran too fast, and not everyone could keep up.
After arriving at the frontcourt, everyone saw that the Rockets could barely keep up with only Mobley, who was still several meters behind Francis.
On the Knights' side, Ye Feng, James, and Darius ran back, but they had already settled into place.
2 to 3 in the frontcourt, with the Cavaliers dominating.
At this point, many defenders will settle down and wait until their teammates are all together before attacking.
But Francis didn't mean that at all, and even though there were three people in front of him, he didn't hesitate in the slightest.
In a change of direction, Francis broke through James and hit the three-point line.
At the free throw line, Francis relied on his body to run over Ye Feng again, and directly held the ball and took three steps.
Under the basket, Francis carried Darius's defense and smashed the ball into the basket with a very difficult folding action.
Syllable!
55:64。
The Quick-Loan Arena was silent, and the Cleveland fans couldn't even make a sound.
Francis showed his strength, technique, speed, countermeasures, bounces, explosiveness...... It's all perfectly reflected in this goal.
This is Francis in his prime, this is the strength of the Western Conference All-Star starters, this is the invincible No. 1 position...... Even if it's 1 to 3, Francis can do it.
And the Cavaliers, they really can't prevent it.
"It's too strong, this kind of physical fitness, you can't find it among our CBA players."
Sun Zhengping was silent for a long time and said helplessly.
"Not only the CBA, even if it's the NBA, it's only been a few decades since there was a Francis!"
Director Zhang Weiping said with a wry smile.
