Pick-and-roll, the most basic tactic in basketball tactics.

No matter how far basketball has developed, how far basketball tactics have developed. Flashy, rough, simple...... All basketball tactics evolved from pick-and-roll.

This most basic tactic is also the most effective.

For example, Ye Feng and Boozer have never seriously practiced blocking and dismantling, but once they cooperate, the effect is very good.

Boozer's generous body, solid mid-range shot, and good ability to break through with the ball make him an excellent blocker.

And Ye Feng's super accurate long-range shooting, extremely fast breakthrough ability, and good passing ability are excellent ball holders.

The two cooperated, and it can be said that they were very compatible, and there was a chemical reaction in an instant.

Even if the Zen master was replaced by Peyton and Medvedenko, it would not limit the cooperation of the two.

There are generally only two ways to limit the pick-and-roll.

First, do not change the guard.

Send Devin George to push Ye Feng to buy the team enough time to allow Payton and Medvedenko to keep up with their original defenders without switching guards.

But just now the Lakers tried and failed.

Devin George can't fully press Ye Feng, who can always find a pass in the gap to help others score.

The second is to change the guard.

But Peyton is required to be able to defend against Boozer, and Medvedenko can be able to guard against Ye Feng.

Obviously, this is not realistic.

No matter how good Payton's defense is, no matter how young he is 10 years younger, it is impossible to prevent a meat shield from rushing inside.

Medvidenko's pace is okay, but his defense is poor, which is a little bit better than Brian Cook.

In the history of the NBA, there are too few interior players who can defend big and small, and the same is true for small defense.

If Malone was there, he would have the ability, but unfortunately he couldn't play.

In this way, the score became 68:70 at the end of the third quarter.

The Cavaliers played 28-18 in the first quarter to narrow the deficit to two points.

Ye Feng scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists in a single quarter, which was related to almost every goal.

After three quarters, Ye Feng's data is already 17 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists.

Playing normally in the fourth quarter, Ye Feng is likely to get 20+5+10 in this game, and even lead the Cavaliers to win.

Los Angeles fans were in an uproar.

James and Ilgoskas were unavailable and both thought the game was over early.

But no one expected that the Cavaliers would almost tie the score in the absence of the two cores, which is unbelievable.

"Tough Knights!"

"Generally speaking, teams with a lot of newcomers lack tenacity. Once there is a headwind, it will almost collapse, and there will be no more chance. I didn't expect the Cavaliers to be so tough. ”

"It's thanks to the five players on the Cavaliers court who played the whole quarter and played really well. In particular, Boozer and Ye Feng played a central role. ”

"Also, I have to say that Ye Feng is probably the toughest player I've ever seen. Have you noticed, he was beaten by Kobe Bryant again and again, but he defended with all his strength again and again, and never gave up. That's probably why the rest of the Cavaliers don't give up. This guy looks like a rookie, but like a veteran. ”

......

For the discussion of the on-site commentary, Ye Feng didn't care.

The good news for the Cavaliers is that in the fourth quarter, Ilgoskas is back on the court. Even James is fully recovered, and it doesn't seem that the cramps are serious.

At this time, it was the Cavaliers head coach Paul who made the mistake.

It's good that James and Ilgauskas are back, but the team has a problem with the ball.

Ye Feng and Boozer's blocking and dismantling played very well before, and it stands to reason that they should continue to insist.

But when James plays, he must also hold the ball, otherwise James's role will be reduced a lot.

It's not that he can't play without the ball, but James, who has no projection ability now, is still too much worse off the ball than with the ball.

After half a hesitation, Paul didn't make a decision, and his hesitant nature really couldn't be changed.

The fourth quarter begins.

On the Cavaliers' side, apart from Ye Feng and Boozer, the main players did not have much playing time, and Paul simply sent all five starters directly to the court.

Ilgoskas, Boozer, Eric, James, and Ye Feng.

The Zen master may have anticipated the Cavaliers' selection and went straight to the full starting lineup.

Grant, Medvedenko, Devin George, Kobe Bryant and Payton.

That's the rhythm of letting the 10 starters play a whole quarter.

The Cavaliers are young, but they don't care.

The Lakers suffered, after all, there are two veterans over the age of 36.

Honk~

The game began, and the Cavaliers attacked first.

Ye Feng advanced with the ball and slowly brought it to the frontcourt.

At this time, Paul on the bench sat very upright and looked at Ye Feng intently.

Don't look at his face is light, but his heart is fluctuating.

This ball, Ye Feng's choice will be very important.

is to insist on playing on their own, regardless of the presence of James. Or give the ball to James?

This will affect the outcome of this match. It could even affect the future of the Cavaliers...... Paul couldn't help but think about it.

Ye Feng was not in a hurry to fight, and still observed the audience as usual.

James stood flat outside the three-point line and didn't seem to have any intention of asking for the ball.

Boozer and Ilgoskas were consistently silent and did not take the initiative to ask for the ball.

It seems that everyone is willing to accept Ye Feng's choice.

But Ye Feng knew that the thoughts in everyone's hearts would definitely not be the same as on the surface.

Whether Ye Feng fights by himself or hands it over to his teammates will actually have a great impact.

Suddenly, Payton in the three-point line flashed, and suddenly reached out and wanted to steal Ye Feng's ball.

"Not good!"

Ye Feng was startled, and hurriedly hugged the ball, so he was lucky not to be stealed.

"Damn, it's a game, I'm actually wandering."

Peyton's actions woke Ye Feng up.

Ye Feng patted his head in annoyance, and then regained his composure.

I just want to win.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng no longer hesitated and hoisted the ball to Ilgoskas on the inside.

In the final analysis, the Cavaliers' biggest advantage on the court is not James, nor Boozer and Ye Feng's blocking, but Ilgoskas vs. Grant.

Grant is too old, and the decline in form is very serious, after all, not everyone can maintain the same state as "Postman" Malone, and he can still play very good at the age of 40.

Grant has become an old monster and has a lot of experience on the court. But on the other hand, his athleticism has also slipped to the extreme, and he has not caused any trouble to Ilgoskas at all.

Ilgoskas also learned the lessons of the first half, playing steadily and not giving Grant a chance.

Big Z became the offensive arrow of the Cavaliers, and James became the defensive spearhead.

Although James can't guard against Kobe, the defensive effect is much better than Ye Feng.

The two of them made their own efforts, and Ye Feng, Boozer and Eric worked together, both offensive and defensive.

And that's what determines the outcome of this game.
