Adelman is very unhappy, but Ye Feng is even more unhappy, Adelman is unhappy because Maddie is absent, and Ye Feng is unhappy because Maddie is absent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Maddie has been on and off this season, missing a total of 47 games and averaging only 15.6 points per game, the lowest since joining the Magic in his fourth career. Originally, the Rockets hoped that the ATM combination formed by him, Yao Ming and Atai could help the Rockets reach the Finals, but they didn't expect Maddy to be affected by injuries this season, and finally had to undergo minimally invasive knee surgery at the end of the season and announced that the playoffs would be reimbursed.

Ye Feng's headache is here, because Adelman sent the starting lineup in the absence of a top scorer: Brooks, Battier, Artest, Scola and Yao Ming. At this time, Ye Feng and Roy have become the most difficult people on the Trail Blazers team, because they have to face the two major defensive masters in the league, and the most speechless thing is that these two can still change defenses at any time, and they can change defenses almost infinitely regardless of the difference between scoring guards and small forwards. And now Battier and Artest are still at the peak of their careers, and it is more than enough to deal with Roy and Ye Feng, two young people.

Artest averaged 17.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game this season, and was the Rockets' second-leading scorer, while Battier only averaged 7.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, but his three-point shooting rate was as high as 38.4%, which was an important scoring point for the Rockets from the outside. I really didn't know what the general manager of the Rockets thought at the beginning, and he had already recruited Battier under his command, but he brought in Artest from the Kings, but now it seems that although the position is a bit duplicated, basically the wing defense of the whole league is not so extravagant. Two outside gates with different styles but equally good swing on the court, and no matter how strong you are, the scorer will be blinded.

They also had an interesting game in the regular season. In the 93-74 win over the Cavaliers on Feb. 26, it was because Artest and Battier played together that James played one of the worst games since his debut. In fact, strictly speaking, although James shot 7-of-21 from the field, 21 points were not ashamed, but he only grabbed 1 rebound in the whole game and did not give an assist, which was the first time in his career that he did not score an assist in a single game. Being able to defend the league's top all-around wing like this shows the defensive ability of this combination.

Now seeing Maddy's playoff reimbursement, Adelman once again drew a gourd to put out the combination of Artest + Battier, obviously to give the Trail Blazers a dismount. McMillan Ye is very worried, not to mention anything else, Artest's offense still has two brushes, originally wanted to use Otlo to replace Ye Feng to start, but this guy obviously can't stop Artest, although Ye Feng is young, but his physical fitness is not inferior to Otlo, coupled with relatively stronger offensive ability, McMillan still has to put Ye Feng in the starting lineup after thinking about it, let him face Artest's tough defense.

Ye Feng was not scared, and after the game started, he worked hard with Artest, and soon they became the players who sweated the most and had the most blunt injuries on their bodies. Ye Feng knew that he was at a disadvantage, he seemed to have no pressure on the surface, and he was on par with Artest, but in fact he was already at the end of the crossbow, and Artest still had some strength left. The two teams played a total of three games in the regular season, and the Rockets led 2-1, and in these three games, Ye Feng's performance was not very good, and Artest and Battier took turns to make him miserable. But today he realized that that was not the limit of his opponent, Artest alone guarded him perfectly, not to mention that Battier would occasionally come to change guards.

In the face of Adelman's arrangement, Ye Feng really wanted to cry without tears. To say that the rocket has no other good flanks? Not necessarily, Weaver can be used to play the No. 2 position, and his technical characteristics are a bit of a low-profile version of Maddie. But the old man had to put on two big wing locks and put Weaver off the bench as a scoring point. His idea was simple, the Trail Blazers' main scoring point was Roy, and he would have to send someone to defend Roy in the event of Maddy's reimbursement, or at least form a mutual blow up situation. In Adelman's opinion, Weaver couldn't respond to Roy's score, so naturally he had to send Battier to play the second position. As for Artest, he was originally the team's thunderous No. 3 position, and the team mainly relied on him and Yao Ming under Maddie's injury, and he must also have a place in the starting lineup.

Such a simple idea made Roy and Ye Feng miserable at once. Regardless of their performance in the regular season, it is playoff time, and the defensive intensity is not at all a grade compared to the original, and at this time, the referee generally turns a blind eye to some foul actions that can be blown or not blown, which also makes the two rookies suffer a dark loss. is really a rookie, this is Ye Feng's first season, and Roy's third season, what about the two? Artest was the 16th pick in the first round in 1999 and Battier was the 6th pick in the first round in 2001, and they can really be considered "eating more salt than you eat rice". What's more, the two have been immersed in the defensive end for a long time and know how to complete the defensive task under the nose of the referee, how can Roy and Ye Feng beat them?

Although the fans on the sidelines shouted hoarsely, although Roy and Ye Feng still tried their best to score when they were uncomfortably defended, although Blake, Ade and Oden also very consciously shared part of the scoring responsibility, although the bench lineup was inseparable from the Rockets' bench under the leadership of Outlaw, but they still fell in front of the Rockets who scored double-doubles in four people. When he saw the statistics, even Ye Feng had to admire Artest, this guy actually scored the fourth highest 17 points in the team while guarding himself, but Ye Feng almost didn't score a double.

In addition to Yao Ming's 24 points and 9 rebounds, Brooks scored 27 points and Scola scored 19 points. On the Trail Blazers' side, only Roy, Ye Feng and Oden scored double-doubles, Roy scored 21 points, Oden scored 15 points, Ye Feng scored 10 points, and everyone else scored in single digits.

Ye Feng shook his head, confused: Could it be that we are playing a fake game?
