The Spurs haven't looked particularly good this season, their core combination of GDP looks old, and Duncan, the team's highest scorer per game, is just 17.9 points, which is hard to imagine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info You know, this is the era of superstars, basically the teams that make the playoffs have a scorer who averages 20+ points per game, but the Spurs play well in a different way - they use team battles against superstars. Of course, they don't have no stars, and any player in the GDP is one of the top stars in the league, but it's a pity that they don't play superstar performance statistically.

Although the Spurs are a challenge for McMillan, in Ye Feng's view, at least he can have a relaxed environment to help the team, because the Spurs' starting small forward is Richard Jefferson. Jefferson isn't the top player he was with the Nets alongside Kidd and Carter as the "troika" back then, and even when he's in his prime, he's not a great defensive player, let alone now that he's progressing to the latter stages of his career. Born in 1980, Jefferson is only 29 years old, but it seems that leaving Kidd has caused him to fall into the mortal world, and he is now just an upper-mid-level wing player.

In contrast, the interior of the Trail Blazers will face a more significant test as they face Duncan. It's unclear who Popovich will send to partner Duncan on the inside, but Duncan's presence is a huge threat. Duncan has restrained his shine because he doesn't need to play 20+10 every game like he used to, and there are other players on the team who can share more responsibilities. But that doesn't ignore his contribution on the defensive end, and it's just Aldridge on the inside that the Trail Blazers' offensive point is going to be opposite Duncan, which is likely to be a frustrating feeling.

Similarly, the Spurs' backcourt configuration is also quite good, in addition to Parker and Ginobili, they have George Hill, Bogans, Roger Mason, these are all players who can contribute to the team on the court. However, the backcourt of the Trailblazers is not bad, strictly speaking, there is still a fight with the backcourt of the Spurs, but don't want to have much of the upper hand, Parker and Ginobili are not easy to mess with, Ye Feng's classmate Hill also showed good ability, and it is more than enough to serve as a substitute or even a starter for the Spurs, after all, he is the favorite type of player of Old Man Popovich.

There was plenty of rest this time, and the first game against the Spurs will be played on the evening of May 3 local time, and because of the excellent rankings, it will still be at the Rose Garden Arena, which is a good thing for the Trail Blazers, who can have more time to prepare. McMillan didn't intend for the team to play the same team basketball as the Spurs, and even though the Trail Blazers' previous games seemed to be full of teamwork, at the end of the day they played superstar basketball, and the team's offense was always driven by individual players, and only when they opened up could they create opportunities for other players.

And the Spurs, under Popovich's tutelage, have simply become a group of compulsive passers, who will continue to pass the ball without a great opportunity, and easily do not force shots. GDP has occasional singles, but the proportion is quite low, in other words, this is not a regular tactic for the team, and only when the opponent's defensive intensity reaches a certain level, the Spurs will turn on the superstar singles mode. In general, as long as they are not pressed, passing is the first choice of Spurs players. This is a headache for the Spurs' opponents because there are too many scoring points.

The Trail Blazers' defense certainly wasn't up to the level that would make the Spurs nervous, so they had to fight their opponents to score, and they scored under the Spurs' tough defense. The Spurs' defense has always been among the best in the league, and they only allowed opponents to score 96.3 points per game in the regular season this season, which is the second highest in the league, but what about the Trail Blazers' defense? They are averaging 103.7 points per game, which is not bad, but it is not a threat to the Spurs at all. If they want to keep going, they will have to do everything they can to score and score more points than their opponents to win the game.

After analyzing the data of the Spurs players during the regular season, McMillan decided to let Ye Feng be the team's first scoring point, because his test is minimal compared to other positions, compared to the Suns' Grant Hill, Jefferson is younger and more athletic, but he is not a defensive warrior himself, and can only rely on his physical fitness to cause some small troubles to Ye Feng, and these troubles Ye Feng will definitely not take seriously. The only thing that needs to be considered now is whether Ye Feng can take on such a heavy responsibility and become the top scorer of the Trailblazers.

With Ye Feng's current status in the team, if he is given unlimited firing rights, no one else will have any opinions, even if he is a little unhappy, he will not say it in front of everyone. But in previous games, Ye Feng has rarely been the team's leading scorer in a single game, because he seems to prefer to play for his teammates and enjoy his organization. Playing against the Spurs is a good opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop, it depends on whether Ye Feng can seize this opportunity, although McMillan does not expect him to play Wade's supernatural performance in the 2006 Finals, but it must not be worse than before.

However, when he communicated with Ye Feng in private, he found that Ye Feng was full of interest in becoming the team's scoring champion. What he didn't know was that this arrangement made Ye Feng seem to return to his high school days, at that time he was the team's undisputed No. 1 scoring point, and it was precisely because of his crazy scoring that he helped the team win the championship and became Mr. Basketball in California, and now it is just a repetition of what happened back then.

Facing the expectant eyes of the head coach, Ye Feng smiled and said: "I know this is a test, but I am willing to accept such a test. Of course, for me it's not about being famous, there are many other ways to be famous, and I think last season's semi-final tie-break by Kobe Bryant was enough to make me famous...... I'm willing to do anything that is conducive to winning this series, let alone release my inner desire? Don't worry, coach, I won't let you down, just because I don't want to score doesn't mean I can't score, I think Spurs should be careful......"
