Chapter 104: Away Battle Heat (Three Watches)
The Cavaliers won two in a row, and the first game was a shocking reversal, and the second game was a big win, which made the media's comments on the Cavaliers take a big turn.
"They're very good, they've got All-Stars, they've got last year's rookie second team, they've got this year's top pick, they've got the most underrated rookie ...... Full of talent, not to be underestimated. ”
"They're just too young and inexperienced, but definitely not weak, and the Cavaliers' talent is comparable to any team in the league."
"Paul has found the right tactics and Cleveland is about to take off!"
......
Seriously, that's not wrong, but the media have forgotten what they had to say about the Cavaliers two games ago.
Bottom of the league, a fish-belly team, a manager who can't play at all, sloppy, and poor......
On the other hand, Ye Feng, who shot 5 of 10 in this game, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, scored a career-high 19 points, was also sought after.
It's still the same old saying, James and Anthony, as champions and tanhua, should achieve whatever kind of results.
As for Ye Feng, a failed draft, the better the results, the more amazing it is.
It's tantamount to slapping the draft team of the other 28 teams in the league in the face, and the media likes to do this kind of thing the most.
As for offending other teams and affecting Ye Feng's life and death, of course they wouldn't care.
As a result, Ye Feng was helplessly involved in a turmoil.
Here's how it happened.
Just when the media praised Ye Feng, Popovich was interviewed and stood up and released a wave of poisoned milk.
"He's the most underrated jewel in this draft."
"He's going to be one of the best players in NBA history."
"Even compared to James and Anthony, he is not inferior in any way."
"If I can get him, the Spurs may be able to win this year's championship."
......
Naked killing, Ye Feng knows Popovich too well.
Don't say that Popovich is sincere, if he really brings Ye Feng to the Spurs, where will Ginobili and Parker go?
Soon, Ye Feng was hurt by the authenticity.
The alliance has a hurricane about how to limit the leaf wind.
And the "famous leaf black" Charlie Rosen naturally did not let go of this opportunity, and immediately posted a review article on the FOX website.
So far in the regular season, Ye Feng has played 7 games, averaging 14.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.4 blocks per game.
Among the rookies, Ye Feng's statistics are second only to James and Anthony, ranking third.
But Ye Feng's data is only a superficial appearance.
As long as you study carefully, you will be able to discover the problem of Ye Feng.
Of his 102 points, only six came from free throws, and the other 96 were all three-pointers.
In these 7 games, Ye Feng shot a total of 32 of 49 three-pointers, averaging 4.6 of 7 per game, with a shooting rate of 65.3%.
I have to admit that Ye Feng's three-point shot is terrifying enough, but this also shows from the side that Ye Feng is too dependent on three-point shots.
Aside from his three-point shot, he barely scored in any other way.
And not only that, if you look at the game carefully, you will find that Ye Feng is only good at shooting open three-point shots, and once he encounters a confrontation, his shooting rate will be touchingly low.
So it's easy to restrain Ye Feng, you just need to send a strong enough guard to follow Dead Ye Feng and not give him a chance to make a move.
As soon as this article was released, it was immediately sought after by many people.
Ye Feng also read it, although he didn't dare to compliment Charlie Rosen's character, Ye Feng also had to admit that Charlie Rosen's analysis was in place.
At the same time, Ye Feng heard something from Uncle Jack, a security guard.
Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry made a move, talking to Paul and Davis, respectively.
Although I don't know what we talked about, I can guess something from the expressions of the two of them when they leave the office.
Paul was so upset that he slammed the door as he left.
Davis, however, was on his toes, and he was still muttering, "Who is the boss of this team?" I! ”
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and felt incredible.
"That's not right! Looking at it like this, how does it seem that Davis has won the confrontation? ”
"According to the situation in the previous life, it was Davis who was packed and sent away, and Paul should have won."
Could it be that something has gone wrong?
Ye Feng couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to, because Ye Feng himself quickly fell into trouble.
Two days later, on November 14.
The Cavaliers travel to Miami to take on the Heat.
The Heat now have a 0-7 record, which is worse than the 2-5 Cavaliers.
The duo of Eddie Jones, Lamar Odom and Wade didn't have a single victory.
So Paul's request was simple, win! Be sure to win!
That night, the Heat's starting lineup was 3 inside and 2 outside.
On the inside, Odom, Haslem, and Grant, and on the outside are a duo of Eddie Jones and Wade.
In this era, the combination of three inside lines is still quite favored by coaches.
In addition, the Heat also have Ralph Alston and Caron Butler on the bench, and their strength should not be underestimated.
On the Cavaliers' side, Davis started again, and he returned to his favorite small forward position.
Center: Ilgoskas.
Power forward: Boozer.
Small forward: Davis.
Scoring guard: Ye Feng.
Defender: James.
Before the game, basically everyone predicted that the Cavaliers would be the winning side, because the Heat's record was so bad.
But as soon as the game began, the Cavaliers were stunned.
The Heat started a new style of play, just two sets of tactics.
The first set of tactics is Odom's pull-to-free-throw line play, which is somewhat similar to the Kings' Princeton tactic, which is the playmaking center tactic.
Odom is an all-around power forward, with no problem with long-range shooting and playmaking.
His career-high season in assists was 5.5 per game and his highest three-point percentage was 38.2 percent.
In the face of such Odom, how could the knights let go?
But Ilgoskas pulled out to defend, and the height of the interior was suddenly insufficient, allowing Wade and Jones, two super guards with All-Star strength, to break through at will and take what they wanted.
Boozer pulled out, the lateral pace was too slow, and Odom directly broke through, without any negotiation.
As for Davis, with a height of 7 centimeters, Odom raised his hand and threw it, not taking Davis seriously at all.
With this first tactic, the Cavaliers were uncomfortable to death.
There is no way, facing an all-round power forward like Odom with a triple threat is simply more uncomfortable than facing Divac and Brad Miller.
Divac and Miller are both big men over 210 centimeters, who are slower and not very capable of breaking through.
But Odom, who is only 208 centimeters, is really too comprehensive, and he is the youngest NBA player to get a triple-double before James.
Breakaways, shots, passes, Odom is above average, what can you do?
In the end, Paul replaced Darius, with a height of 206 cm and super running and jumping ability, Darius defended more comprehensively, and finally limited Odom's role.
The Heat's first set of tactics fell through.
So, the Heat started the second set of tactics and singled Ye Feng!
