"Yes!"

Ye Feng and James naturally had no opinion.

James clenched his fists even more, his eyes brightened.

This pivotal period of Davis' departure was an important moment for him to establish his central position.

The game continues.

James arcs the ball and holds it above his head with both hands, looking down at the big picture.

Jalen Rose took a step forward, lowered his center of gravity, and tied up a very exaggerated horse step in front of James.

Defending and not shooting, this is already the recognized defensive strategy of the entire league for James.

Why wasn't Carter defending James one-on-one?

Because Carter, who was young, barely defended. Let him defend James is basically equivalent to sending points.

In the bottom corner, Ye Feng and Alvin Williams confronted each other.

"Rookie, it seems that your team can't do it. I didn't even move much, and you were blown up. ”

Alvin provoked, Ye Feng's silence at the beginning made him smug, and he thought that he really had to guard against the third-ranked figure in the rookie.

"So, you really want to move?"

Ye Feng glanced at Alvin disdainfully, didn't this guy notice the changes in the knights?

“......”

Alvin was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Ye Feng meant.

"Not good!"

At this moment when he was thinking, Ye Feng suddenly started and ran at full speed.

With the speed of Ye Feng, taking advantage of the moment when Alvin was stunned, he could directly get rid of Alvin.

Alvin was shocked to see Ye Feng out of his defensive range, but he knew the rookie's open three-point shooting percentage.

Before the game started, the only task given to him by the coach was to stare at Ye Feng. But now, Ye Feng got rid of it, and Alvin couldn't help but shout.

It was this sound that caused the players on both sides to look sideways at the positions of Alvin and Ye Feng, and Jalen Rose was no exception.

So, James smiled, and also took advantage of this opportunity to suddenly start, rushing out in one step, bypassing Jalen Rose in two steps, and directly entering the inside line in three steps.

By the time Jalen Rose reacted, he couldn't catch up with James.

On the other side, Ye Feng accelerated and then suddenly slowed down and stopped.

Alvin pounced and once again shrouded Ye Feng in the defensive range, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

This rookie is average! I didn't take advantage of the opportunity just now to ask for the ball to score, and the ability to grasp the opportunity is not good.

Just when Alvin thought so, Ye Feng smiled playfully.

Then, Ye Feng suddenly started again.

The lax Alvin failed to react this time, and Ye Feng completely got rid of the defense.

At the same time, James rushed into the basket, looked back at the moon, and handed the ball into Ye Feng's hands.

Ye Feng's hand is up and down, huh! Hit a hollow three-pointer.

The score is 15:10.

Alvin's face was ugly, and he looked at the scoreboard for a long time and was speechless.

It seems that the coach's advice is right, the rookie who defends really can't relax for a moment, this guy's three-point shot is too accurate.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Alvin made up his mind.

In the subsequent race, Ye Feng made full use of his speed, constantly starting, slowing down, starting, and slowing down......

Alvin kept an eye on the defense with all his might, but he never let Ye Feng get out of his defense.

But after only a few rounds, he began to bend over and gasp for air.

It is indeed a bit difficult for Alvin to run with Ye Feng in the large No. 1 position, not to mention that Alvin has suffered a knee injury, and his movement speed has been affected.

Runners know that it is not difficult to jog all the time, and it is acceptable to run fast all the time, but the most uncomfortable thing is to continuously accelerate and decelerate alternately, and the body cannot adapt to this rhythm at all, and it is easy to get tired.

And this rhythm is more likely to affect people who are tall and fat, and it has less impact on people who are short.

At this moment, Ye Feng was still very relaxed, and Alvin had already begun to gasp for breath.

There's no way, Alvin was originally a No. 1 position who relied on his height advantage, and it was too difficult for him to fight for speed.

Taking advantage of Alvin's declining state, Ye Feng constantly got rid of the defense, and then relied on James's passing to shoot and score.

With two minutes left in the first quarter, the Cavaliers tied the score, 22-22.

The Raptors head coach found out about Alvin's situation and immediately called a timeout and replaced Alvin with backup point guard Milt Pelacio.

Milt is a small No. 1 and has good speed, so it is much easier to keep an eye on Ye Feng than Alvin.

After that, Ye Feng's score was limited.

The Cavaliers' momentum was also suppressed.

Although James has repeatedly relied on breakthroughs to create opportunities, other teammates do not have Ye Feng's shooting rate at all, and they are not in good shape.

Gradually, the Raptors opened the gap little by little.

At the end of the third quarter, at 82:75, the Raptors led by seven points into the final quarter.

In the second and third quarters, Carter also played tepidly, did not shoot much, and basically organized the whole team to attack, which made Cleveland fans who were looking forward to watching the Flyers perform a little disappointed.

But there is no way, Carter is no longer the half-human and half-god he used to be.

The fourth quarter begins.

The Cavaliers felt better, and under the leadership of James and Ye Feng, they chased the score aggressively, and once tied the score.

But at the critical moment, Carter broke out again, performed continuously, and scored with an unsolvable offensive method.

Dunks, three-pointers, back-to-back singles......

Carter showed his true quality, scoring in a row, and in a desperate way of attacking, you know what he's going to do, but you can't stop it.

He single-handedly extinguished the Cavaliers' scoring momentum and led the Raptors to victory.

Ye Feng and James watched Carter's performance, quite helpless.

Carter is a well-known fourth-quarter player who always bursts with amazing energy at this time. And he's a big heart, always hitting key shots.

In his previous life, even if Carter had been reduced to a role player, the coach would still arrange tactics and let Carter execute the last shot, which shows his ability in the last moments.

At 100:93, the Raptors gave the Cavaliers their 12th loss of the season, and the Cavaliers' overall record became 9-12.

Carter worked hard in the first and last two quarters, scoring a quasi-triple-double of 22 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

Marshall had 20 points and seven rebounds, Jalen Rose had 20 points and six assists, and Bosh had 14 points and seven rebounds.

The five main forces of the Raptors, except for Alving, who did not perform well, the other four played at the level they deserved.

On the Cavaliers' side, James had 16 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, which was also a quasi-triple-double.

Ye Feng had 21 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, scoring the second-highest score of the game, including 3 of 7 three-point shots.

Ilgoskas had 13 points, Boozer had 14 and Eric Williams had 10 points, all three of whom had double-doubles but shot poorly.

Ilgoskas barely over 40 percent, Boozer only 33.3 percent, how is this like the shooting percentage of two interior players? Eric made 0 of 4 three-pointers and squandered countless good opportunities.

"It seems that the Cavaliers are still greatly affected, and the big trade is also a pain break for them."

"The loss to the Raptors was entirely on their own, and if they could maintain their usual shooting percentage, the victory would have been a no-brainer."

Eric Williams, Tony Barty, J. R. Bremer was disappointing, they didn't fit into the team at all, maybe they still need time. ”

"The only consolation is that James and Ye Feng have not been affected, and they are already a well-deserved future for this team."

......

After the game, the media's evaluation of the Cavaliers was generally positive, especially optimistic about James and Ye Feng.

After Davis left, James was fully capable of taking over more of the ball, and Ye Feng was as stable as ever.

After this game, many people made a new evaluation of Ye Feng, a bit like a three-sided player.

When he holds the ball, he is a bit like a traditional No. 1 position, and he plays very beautifully in blocking and pick-and-roll, but his disadvantage is the finishing ability under the basket.

When he is not holding the ball, he is more like the "mask man" Richard Hamilton, whose ability to catch and shoot is getting better and better, but the disadvantage is that the running position is not demonic enough, which is much worse than Peja and Ray Allen.

When he is standing still, he is the perfect role player, able to open up the opponent's space, and no team dares to give Ye Feng a chance to shoot in an empty position. Coupled with good defensive ability, it can be seen as an excellent 3D player, but the disadvantage is that the confrontation is still not strong enough.

In short, Ye Feng at this time has developed three modes of playing.
