Chapter 154: Counterattack

For Ye Feng's three-point pursuit, Larry Brown can't blame the players for anything.

After all, chasing three-pointers is an unreasonable offensive method, do you want to design a reasonable defense for an unreasonable offensive method? That's weird!

But now that the score is 73-62 and the difference is only 11 points, Larry Brown has to take it seriously.

In basketball, an 11-point margin is really nothing, and it is likely that you will be caught up in a few rounds.

Didn't you see that just after the opening, the Cavaliers played 6:0?

"Attack, guaranteed success rate! Billups didn't feel good, so he cut back on his shots, played the No. 2 position, and let Hamilton shoot! ”

Larry Brown admonished from the sidelines.

The so-called No. 2 position tactic is that everyone provides cover for Hamilton's running position and helps him create opportunities to catch and shoot.

As the Pistons' No. 1 scoring point, it was super hot tonight, and the Pistons will naturally give more shots to Hamilton.

After successive screens, Hamilton briefly got rid of James, and Billups' pass arrived in a split second.

Catch and shoot, that's Hamilton's killer move.

Seeing Hamilton get the ball, James pounced desperately to stop Hamilton.

But at this moment, Hamilton, who was holding the basketball, suddenly smiled slyly on his face.

James, who was flying in the air, saw this smile and exclaimed, but it was too late.

Hamilton's shot was a feint, and after tricking James, he leaned on James and forced him to shoot.

Honk~

Sure enough, the referee's whistle sounded, although he knew that Hamilton was deliberately making a foul, but James's foul action was too obvious not to blow.

"It's okay, it's 2 points for free throws, and it's 2 points for shooting, so it's not a loss!"

James was still comforting himself, when suddenly there was a snort.

Hamilton's forced shot actually went in, it was a 2+1, and he successfully scored 3 points.

"Wow, Hamilton is crazy, he's already scored 32 points, and if he hits a free throw, it's 33 points, and this fourth quarter has just begun!"

"The Masked Man is going to explode tonight, and there's no one left to stop him. Davis couldn't guard him, and neither could James. ”

"To be honest, based on Hamilton's performance tonight, a little bit higher than Loops' shooting percentage, the Cavaliers won't have to play."

......

After hitting a free throw, the score became 76-62, and the margin became 14 points again, and Hamilton stabilized the situation.

This 2+1 also made the Cavaliers who had just risen directly pour a basin of cold water on their heads, and everyone on the bench was at a loss.

The Cavaliers attack.

James and Ye Feng switched defenders as soon as they crossed the run.

Billups defends James, and Prince defends Ye Feng.

James unceremoniously singled Billups directly.

In front of Ye Feng, Billups was a small tank. But in front of James, Billups isn't even a two-seater Smart.

Although Billups' defense is already one of the best in the No. 1 position, there is still nothing he can do about James.

On the other side, Ye Feng also began to run with Prince.

Truth be told, Billups can barely keep up with Ye Feng, and the 206cm Prince can't keep up at all, and although he is already very flexible, you can't ask a tall forward to keep up with a speedy defender.

This is especially true for traversal speed, which is usually common to large people. Coupled with the cover of his teammates, Ye Feng successfully got rid of Prince after running back continuously.

Ye Feng and James's double-line start, the Pistons were a little caught off guard, Big Ben looked at the need for defense on both sides, and hesitated for a moment before pounced on James who was holding the ball.

So, James passed the ball to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng catches the ball and throws.

Swish!

Empty three-pointer, expected, hollow shot.

76:65。

Ye Feng hit the third three-pointer of the game.

Big Ben looked at the mesh bag that was still swaying, and regretted it a little, maybe he should make up for the leaf wind.

"Kenny (Smith), you don't have a feeling, Ye Feng just behaved like Hamilton, and he shot the ball after running, which is Hamilton's unique skill. Although Ye Feng's running position is a little immature, his range is greater than that of Hamilton! ”

Barkley said.

"Unexpectedly, Ye Feng's template was originally Hamilton, and shooting when receiving the ball is also his specialty, but Paul didn't arrange relevant tactics before. But since Ye Feng became the main force, Paul seems to have finally woken up, and there is more than one tactic designed for Ye Feng, including blocking and dismantling, and covering. ”

Smith is still very concerned about Ye Feng, he and Yao Ming are good friends, and the first time he saw Ye Feng, he also left a good impression, so he often watched Ye Feng's games.

Pistons offense.

After Big Ben got the ball under the basket, Mime hugged him very directly.

Although Paul didn't ask for the hack game, Mime just had this awareness, who made Big Ben's free throws worse than O'Neal.

Sure enough, Big Ben walked to the free-throw line with an ugly face and missed both free throws.

Two missed free throws were tantamount to a turnover, and the Cavaliers had another opportunity to attack.

It's still the last routine, Ye Feng and James played a simplified version of the blocking, causing a change of defense, and then both sides worked at the same time.

This time, Big Ben chose to make up for the leaf wind.

So, James rushed directly to the basket himself and scored with a dunk in front of Oku's face.

At 76:67, the margin became single digits.

In this way, except for Hamilton, the Pistons frequently missed offensive opportunities. On the knight's side, James and Ye Feng were flanked from both sides, making the big book depressed, and if they could take care of the east, they would leak the west.

80:78。

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers chased the difference to 2 points, which made fans cry out that they couldn't understand, what about the Pistons' defense?

Larry Brown called a timeout, but couldn't stop the Cavaliers' momentum.

As a senior coach, Brown's coaching ability is good, but he can't be flexible, and on-the-spot adaptation is really not his strong point, and he can't think of a solution for a while.

In the end, it was Hamilton who volunteered and stood up to defend Ye Feng.

Larry Brown thought about it and agreed.

Hamilton is very capable of running, he is famous in the league for not dying, and his speed is not slow, so it should not be a problem to keep up with Ye Feng.

However, Ye Feng's speed exceeded Hamilton's imagination, and the speed of 90 was already the top group of people in the league. Hamilton can run, but he really can't outrun Ye Feng.

Coupled with blocking, covering, etc., Ye Feng can easily get rid of Hamilton.

In fact, the only one who can keep up with Ye Feng is Billups. But because Larry Brown is the main player, Billups played almost the whole game, and his physical strength has decreased a lot, and he is not as good as Hamilton at the moment.

James controlled the ball, Capono and Davis pulled apart, Mime covered, and Ye Feng was responsible for running.

As soon as he had the opportunity, James immediately passed the ball, and then Ye Feng chose to shoot, break or pass by himself, and the Cavaliers played well during this time.

On the Pistons' side, it was Hamilton again, and although Billups was tough tonight, Oku and Prince were solid, and the three kept scoring to maintain the lead.

With 2 minutes left, the score became 86:85, and the Cavaliers crossed the top bracket of the company.

The pseudo-fans were wailing because they had lost their bets.

But the real fans are very excited, this game is so exciting, the suspense is left until the last moment, exciting! Stimulate!

Whether it is the Pistons with transcendent strength who will maintain the lead to the end, or whether the Cavaliers Shuangxin can lead the team to a reversal, it is really a suspense rebirth.

In the last 17 seconds, the score was 91:90, and the Cavaliers were one point behind, but with the ball in hand, the game entered the most critical moment.
