Chapter 396: The Hardest Hour
The timeout was over quickly, Batum pursed his lips, patted Ye Feng's shoulder hard, and sat back in his place with his face covered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Ye Feng of course knows what he means as the chief substitute, he just hopes that he will find his way back on the field, even if Ye Feng is injured now, he is still full of confidence.
But Ye Feng himself didn't dare to be careless, he never thought he was a savior, chasing 11 points in 1 minute and 13 seconds seemed easy, 4 three-pointers only, but first you had to ensure that the opponent did not score, in order to fill in the difference in four offensive rounds. How difficult is it to sit on the Heat with the Big Three without scoring four consecutive rounds? Moreover, the opponent can drag on for 24 seconds in each offensive round, which requires the Trail Blazers to not only attack, but also steal.
However, his re-entry not only received applause and cheers from the home fans, but also greatly boosted the morale of the team. In the past few minutes, they did play a little aggrieved against the Heat, no wonder Batum looked ashamed after he got off the court. Ye Feng understands Batum very well, any player has the idea of turning the tide, not to mention Batum, a rising star from France, but unfortunately the opponent he chose this time is not so easy to deal with.
In the first offensive round after going on the court, Ye Feng hit a three-pointer, but it was not the opportunity he created through running, but the strong shot in the face of Bosh after passing the block at a 45-degree angle on the wing, and almost caused the opponent to foul. In fact, it is still very dangerous to face Bosh's strong shot, no matter how bad his defense is, his height and arm span are all there, but Ye Feng threw a long-distance three-point shot one step outside the three-point line this time, which caught Bosh off guard.
Some things can be one or two and can't be repeated and four, Bosh is not a fool, after suffering this loss, the next defense will definitely be directly pasted, without giving any space to shoot, which requires Ye Feng to think of something else. Of course, running out of the open space is the best, but Ye Feng still has to endure an ankle injury, such a long-distance and high-intensity run does not mean that you can run, and the cooperation of teammates is still very important.
The current situation of Ye Feng is very different from that of Reed, when Reed only jumped with Chamberlain after the opening, and then hit 2 shots, and did not play for the rest of the time. If it weren't for his mental strength and the epic statistics of the previous five finals, it is estimated that the MVP of the finals would not have been his turn.
But Ye Feng is different, he not only has to act as the spiritual pillar of the team, but also has to make more contributions in the official game, a few shots can only stop the bleeding of the team at most, and it has little to do with the outcome of the game. You must know that the reason why the Trail Blazers were able to tie with the Heat before was because of his crazy running on the court, even if his teammates are not as lazy as before, Ye Feng's role in the team's tactical system still cannot be ignored.
However, for Ye Feng, running is a chore, although the left ankle is not as painful as when he was first injured after the ice, but all kinds of movements on the basketball court still need explosive power, which has high requirements for the ankle as a force point. Even if it wasn't a sprint, every time he stepped on the ground with his left foot, he felt a pinprick-like tingling pain, and his speed involuntarily slowed down, which was not good news.
Soon Ye Feng thought of a good way, although he was still a small forward, he could hold the ball at the top of the arc and use it as a transit station for the team to implement tactics, without desperately looking for opportunities to shoot. This makes it difficult for the Heat to defend themselves in a targeted manner, and it is easier to pass the ball to teammates.
Originally, Ye Feng thought that chasing 11 points in 73 seconds was a very difficult thing, and he just went on the court to not regret himself, but he didn't expect that after he scored a three-pointer, James's breakthrough dunk on the offensive end was covered by Aldridge. In the end, Aldridge's block turned into a three-pointer from Matthews in the bottom corner, and the difference was reduced to five points in an instant, and the game was played with 41 seconds left.
However, the Heat's next offense was finally played, which also blamed Matthews for being too anxious to steal, looking at Wade's unhurried appearance outside the three-point line and wanting to start, who knew that Wade easily dodged his claws, instantly accelerated to the inside, licked the basket with a low hand and scored the ball, fortunately, Camby under the town is experienced, and he didn't continue to reach out when he saw that he couldn't do anything, otherwise it was likely to be a 2+1, and the previous three points were equivalent to wasted effort.
Ye Feng didn't blame Matthews, this is human nature, everyone will be a little angry when they see the opponent trying to win by delaying time, Matthews is just turning this fire into a reality. However, although this could not erase his defense against Wade throughout the game, McMillan on the sidelines still frowned, stood up and yelled at him, and sometimes a mistake at a critical moment can bury the whole game's efforts.
Perhaps because of Matthews' pressing, the Heat's offense took only 12 seconds, which was relatively good, but with only 29 seconds left, it was time to foul the game, but everything had to wait until the goal was scored.
Because Ye Feng's legs and feet are inconvenient, the Trail Blazers control the ball is their lineup's point guard Miller, as an old ball ruffian, Miller also knows that time waits for no one now, just after halftime, he handed the ball to Ye Feng, who was standing at the top of the arc, and asked him to distribute the ball. At this time, the three-point shot is the best way to score, and the Heat naturally know it, so their defensive focus is still on the outside, which makes Camby slip the back door and dunk violently, and by the way, it also causes Bosh's foul.
In fact, Bosh shouldn't have reached out in the first place, but when he saw Camby cut to the basket and received the ball, he was not calm in an instant, thinking of using a block to erase the Trail Blazers' offense. Unexpectedly, Camby was old, and his strength and bounce hadn't fallen too much, and his block naturally became a joke.
Camby walked to the free throw line, slapped the ball, took a deep breath, and scored the ball steadily, for these veterans, the mental quality of the key moment is the last thing they lack. In fact, Camby's free throw shooting rate during the regular season this year was less than 70%, but he hit this crucial free throw, and the difference became 4 points, but there were 23 seconds left on the clock, and the Trail Blazers' hopes of winning were greatly increased.
