In the second game, Adelman still lined up the same starting lineup, but this time Ye Feng was not afraid. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Peyton's words still echo in my ears, many times the strongest person on the court is not guaranteed to win, you need to find his weaknesses and beat him through weaknesses, instead of using your own shortcomings to fight against the opponent's often going out, then you will definitely die a miserable death.

Ye Feng died like this in his first playoff game, and his young heart drove him to fight with Artest without a head, and he would definitely not be able to fight that guy whose muscles were as hard as steel. He can only break through his defense with faster speed and man-ball combination ability, and he has one of the biggest advantages, that is, youth. Artest, who was born in 1979, is 30 years old this year, but Ye Feng is only 20 years old, and the nine-year-old gap is quite obvious in professional competitions.

And he also learned trash talk from Peyton.

There are many trash talk masters in NBA history, and trash talk is also an offensive weapon on the court, "Big Bird" Bird, Reggie Miller, Charles, Barkley, Kevin Garnett, and even Flyer Jordan are all good players, and Payton is also a famous trash talk king. They will be incessantly ranting at their opponents on the field, and their vitriolic language can easily break down their opponents' inner defenses or provoke them outright. Under normal circumstances, a player with a hot brain on the court will not have much to do, either being sent off for a malicious foul or even shooting out of shape.

Before this, Ye Feng would not say and did not want to talk trash talk, after all, the Chinese pay attention to a subtlety, even if there is thunder in the chest, the face must be like a flat lake, and relying on trash talk to attack the opponent is even more evil. But the playoffs are not a polite place, and winning or losing is the most suitable standard here, as long as you don't step out of the rules of the NBA, you can mix it up in this box as much as you want, and trash talk is naturally no problem. And Artest is a player who gets angry easily, and although his words on the pitch are also rude, they don't rise to the level of trash talk, and it's easy to provoke him as long as you stay calm.

Although it was dangerous, Ye Feng wanted to try. But he knew that if he wanted to fire with trash talk, he had to prove that he had what it took to beat the opposition, and the best way to face a tough and persistent defender like Artest was to ...... Running without the ball! Ye Feng seems to have returned to the days when he was partnered with Westbrook at UCLA, he and Roy completely took over the ball, or Roy was the only one in possession of the ball, while he used the cover of his teammates to run wildly in the half. As for the team's starting point guard, Blake has turned himself into a pure corner three-point shooter, dribbling the ball past half court and handing it over to Roy to organize.

In Ye Feng's view, the Trail Blazers are a more suitable team to play dual point guard tactics than UCLA, although he is now a swing man. Unlike UCLA and Bamot, who are purely defensive wings, the Trail Blazers can score for almost everyone, even Oden, who has little range, and has immature but effective basket feet and hooks. However, Ye Feng made up his mind to give possession to Roy, and he was committed to using his speed to get rid of Artest's defense. That's right, it's not impossible to fight hard with such a tough defense, he is not superior in strength, and speed has become the best weapon.

Cover, still cover, Ade and Oden all pulled to the high position to cover Ye Feng, and their thick bodies greatly slowed down Artest's pursuit. But Ye Feng did not catch the ball directly after coming out, but made a cover for Roy himself. Due to the physique of the same small forward, Battier has no advantage in physical fitness, if he is still the all-round small forward of Duke, he may still be able to pose a threat to Ye Feng, but now...... After Ye Feng finished blocking Roy, he directly pressed Battier and rushed into the interior.

This is a very regular tactic of the Suns, called the double ghost shot, which is one of the tactics that Nash and Smalls often use when blocking and picking. However, Ye Feng and Roy's blocking and dismantling cooperation was less domineering, but more flexible, and the two quickly attracted the Rockets' defense after they entered the interior line, and at this time they leaked a gap. Roy faked a real pass and threw the ball directly over Ye Feng's head to the unguarded Ade. In fact, under normal circumstances, Scola would not have been able to defend Ade, but now that he has given Ade an open spot, his trademark straight-arm shot is nine out of ten.

Artest was a little angry, he felt that things were out of his control, he was not good at speed, Ye Feng suddenly changed to a no-ball style of play obviously killed him, constantly running, running and running, Artest is no longer the stunned young man he was back then, the years have given him rich experience, but he has stolen other things from him, such as agility and speed. He likes physical confrontation very much, and he also uses physical confrontation to defend many of the league's top small forwards, but speed is really not something he is good at, especially when Ye Feng looks like an off-ball shooter.

As the team's current second-place scorer, Artest consumes a lot of energy when defending Ye Feng, which also greatly reduces his shooting percentage, and the Rockets' offensive focus has shifted to the interior, leaving only Brooks' pumping shots on the outside. It is true that his firepower is what the rocket needs now, but he is very unstable, like a gun that is ready to fire at any time, and his stability is far inferior to Ye Feng and Roy. At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets trailed the Trail Blazers and struggled to catch up even after that. Artest became the hardest man on the whole team, and at this time Adelman showed his stubborn side, he would rather watch Artest pant behind Ye Feng than give Weaver more playing time.

107-103, the young Trail Blazers finally won the first playoff game, and the big score was also pulled to 1-1. Roy scored a game-high 42 points, Ye Feng and Ade each contributed 25 points, and Yao Ming, the Rockets' biggest interior killer, was trapped by Oden's tough defense, scoring only 11 points and eight rebounds in the game. Artest spent too much energy on the defensive end, shooting just 1-of-8 from three-point range and 8-of-20 from two-point range, and Brooks remained the team's leading scorer with 23 points. It was already the best result for the Trail Blazers, who will travel to Houston with that score for Game 3 and Game 4.
