Chapter 279: Can You Still Run?
With a high-five with the sweaty Cunningham, Ye Feng walked onto the court expressionlessly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter sweating for 12 minutes in the first quarter, Ye Feng felt a lot more relaxed, although he was still a little weak occasionally, but it was much better than the first quarter. In his opinion, the Lakers' 10-point lead is not a big deal, and he is ready to use his three-pointers to help the team open up again, and he is confident in that.
However, Phil has been prepared accordingly when he replaced the main player, and now the main scoring point of the Trail Blazers is Ye Feng, if he does not hold the ball, Miller will not be able to play his scoring skills, and Batum can't help much for the time being, his feel in this game is indeed too bad. So for the Lakers, it is very difficult but very simple to solve such a situation, it is difficult to say that it is difficult because Artest has proved that he can't stop Ye Feng with a single defense, and it is simple because as long as Ye Feng is strangled, it is equivalent to strangling the entire team, which gives the Lakers a clear starting point.
The Lakers' countermeasure is very simple, Kobe Bryant and Artest's double package, after all, Batum is not a threat for the time being, and it doesn't matter if he is empty.
When Miller passed the ball to Ye Feng, Kobe Bryant and Artest quickly surrounded him and guarded him tightly. Ye Feng was speechless, he didn't expect the Lakers to have such courage, and he thought that he would just use one person to defend himself like in the first quarter. But this is also because he is too tender, Phil is an old fritter who has been immersed in the alliance for many years, and it is still okay to think of some tricks temporarily. Ye Feng's super performance in the last game does not mean that Phil is in vain, but it is really that the tactics are arranged without the right people to execute, and it is useless to say more. But this time, Ye Feng's state plummeted, which made the Lakers' defensive countermeasures useful.
In desperation, Ye Feng had no choice but to pass the ball back to Miller, with his current state, it would be a fool's dream to break through the encirclement of these two people. Now the Trailblazers can't afford to make mistakes, so passing to Miller to reorganize the offense is the best way, and thanks to Ye Feng's cleverness, he may not even be able to pass the ball later, either he will be counterattacked by a direct mistake, or he will be blown by the referee. With his current physical condition, any of them are at a loss, the opponent can't keep up with the fast attack counterattack, and the scrum is estimated to be unable to jump, so he still honestly admits it, self-confidence is self-confidence, and he can't do brain-dead things.
The round ended with Aldridge hitting a hard-fought mid-range shot from the elbow zone. Although the Trail Blazers still scored 2 points, McMillan felt very uneasy, because Ye Feng did not play his due role after he came on the court, and he was restricted, which was not his original intention to replace Ye Feng. Of course, this is not Ye Feng's responsibility alone, the most important thing is that the Trail Blazers do not have a second outside scoring point, as soon as Ye Feng is strangled to death, the Trail Blazers' offense becomes extremely difficult, although Ye Feng attracts Kobe Bryant and Artest's defense, but it is useless, teammates can't take advantage of what can you do?
But Ye Feng still wants to try, he can't do it if he doesn't try, the whole team of the Pioneers is pointing at him, he has to run, run to create space. In fact, with Ye Feng's current state, it is still easy to find a gap to pass the ball to his teammates, but space is the first element, and the ball cannot be passed without space. Just as Miller trusted him, he also trusted the old guy's ability to score from the outside, but the playmaking stigma stifled his energy, so he didn't have the opportunity to contribute to the team in terms of scoring. As long as Ye Feng can take over some of the organizational responsibilities, the Trail Blazers will add another outside scoring point.
The most critical question now is, can Ye Feng still run?
Normally, it is not a problem, but today it is still a little difficult. It's not that Ye Feng can't run, it's just that it's difficult for him to do explosive short-distance sprints, which is necessary to get rid of defense. In the next offensive round of the Trail Blazers, Ye Feng asked Aldridge to give the ball directly to himself when he served from the baseline, and he wanted to try to see if he could still attack with the ball. Until he advanced to the frontcourt, there seemed to be no problem, and the Lakers didn't plan to press all over the court. But when he reached the top of the arc, Kobe and Artest surrounded him again, trying to lock him directly in this position.
Ye Feng was not afraid of danger, he took a deep breath, and after dribbling the ball behind his back continuously, he changed his center of gravity and wanted to rush past the outside of Artest. However, the action was made, but when he broke through, Ye Feng's feet were weak, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground. He reacted quickly, propped his free left hand on the floor, quickly regained his center of gravity, and still dribbled the ball to the inside, leaving Artest and Kobe Bryant behind.
Now it seems that it is not possible to go directly to the basket to find a confrontation and then complete the layup, Ye Feng sighed secretly, it seems that it can only be a jump shot. Ye Feng's speed was very fast, and he was not slow to close, and when he was near the free throw line, he cleanly completed a mid-range jumper. But as soon as the ball was shot, he felt something wrong, the force was not as smooth as he imagined, and the basketball was not accidentally knocked on the front of the basket, if it wasn't for Camby in time to grab the rebound under the basket and directly dunk the score, the Trail Blazers' attack would be in vain.
His teammates all came up and patted Ye Feng on the shoulder to comfort him, and it would be good to break through in the bag between Kobe and Artest. Regardless of whether Ye Feng was not frustrated, he got a lot of information about himself from this breakthrough shot that fell short. Obviously, it is possible to run now, and it can also take on the task of organizing the attack, but it is a little difficult to attack on its own after the breakthrough. He didn't pay any attention to the mid-range shot he had just missed, he was just happy that he could contribute more to the team, and he seemed to see another way to go.
McMillan did not call a timeout, and Ye Feng could only quickly exchange his thoughts with Miller on the court. Miller was a little skeptical about Ye Feng's idea of wanting to start organizing the offense again, but now it is obvious that Ye Feng has little room for shooting on the outside, and if he doesn't show his ability to score on the outside, then the team's offense will be ossified to a very terrible level, so that there will be nothing to play in this game. Moreover, Ye Feng's breakthrough just now gave him limited confidence, it doesn't matter if he tries it, if it doesn't work, it will be good to restore it to its original state.
