March is already a very important period for NBA teams, regardless of whether they have the strength or not, as long as there is a slight opportunity to hit the higher rankings, they will not let go, although the schedule may not be difficult, but the opponents are very difficult. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Trail Blazers' schedule is relatively light, with 10 of their remaining 16 games at home and only six on the road, with all but one triple, scattered between multiple home courts. However, they have to play the Lakers twice, the Spurs twice and the Mavericks twice in these 16 games, all three of which are currently in the top four in the West, and although the Trail Blazers are not bad in terms of record, these six games are all tough battles for them, and the slightest carelessness will directly drop several rankings, which will cost them the home court advantage of the entire playoffs.

In addition to these top three, there are many teams that are also trying to climb up the ladder to fight for a better playoff standings, such as the Thunder and Nuggets; There are also teams that have a chance of making the playoffs, such as the Grizzlies and the Rockets. Fortunately, the Trail Blazers don't have to face all of these teams in the final stage, and if that were the case, even if the Trail Blazers could make the playoffs, they wouldn't be able to maintain a good form, and they might be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

However, among these teams, the Trail Blazers want to meet the Mavericks the most, not that the Mavericks are weak, and the fourth place in the West cannot be regarded as a weak team, but for the Trail Blazers, this is a revenge battle, and it is two. Although the atmosphere within the team is very harmonious now, everyone has not forgotten the scene when Roy was injured, of course, Ye Feng was also banned for punching Stevenson, but everyone still continued to count the account on the head of the Mavericks.

After that game, Stevenson made full use of the ban time to treat, Ye Feng's punch was really powerful, directly smashing his nose bone, but this did not hinder the play, it just made Stevenson add a mask. The Mavericks also felt that they were at a loss, and they didn't have any special feelings about the game against the Trail Blazers, but Stevenson was different, he had a very mixed mood, some anger, but also some fear. After that incident, he did not lose the trust of the head coach and still served as the team's starting point guard, but this also meant that he had to face Ye Feng directly.

Judging from Ye Feng's performance in that court brawl, Stevenson knows that this guy is a vengeful master, although he is a small forward for the Trail Blazers, he will definitely ask for a direct confrontation with Stevenson in the game, and then humiliate him in the most direct way. But Stevenson quickly let go of his inner weakness and began to become broken and broken, and he was determined to give Ye Feng a little color in the game.

On March 15, local time, the first of the remaining 16 games, it happened to be the Trail Blazers vs. Mavericks, and it was still at the home of the Trail Blazers. Obviously, the fans have not forgotten the culprit that caused the team's captain to be reimbursed for the regular season, so when the Mavericks players played, the Rose Garden Arena was full of boos, especially when Stevenson ran out of the players' tunnel, the boos and curses were several decibels higher, and Stevenson's face was also iron-blue.

After the start of the game, everything was as Stevenson expected, McMillan did not send their usual starting lineup in the second half of the season, but put Ye Feng in the position of scoring guard, and Batum as the team's starting small forward, such a lineup made Ye Feng directly opposite Stevenson. The other players of the Trailblazers also understood the original intention of the coach to arrange this, so everyone very consciously passed the ball to Ye Feng.

This left Stevenson in a nightmare. Originally, he planned to provoke Ye Feng with trash talk, in his opinion, Ye Feng was a young and impulsive junior, as long as he used a little trick, he could directly provoke him, once he was provoked, he might do some inappropriate behavior on the spur of the moment and be expelled from the field. But what surprised and puzzled him was that Ye Feng turned a deaf ear to his trash talk and simply and brutally grabbed him and beat him up at this point.

After all, Stevenson is in his thirties, and with his height and strength, he can still have some advantages in the scoring guard, which is not worth mentioning in the face of a small forward like Ye Feng who swings to the second position. Ye Feng didn't plan to use other very complicated techniques, in the face of Stevenson's defense, he only had two moves, either holding the ball directly on the outside line and forcing a one-on-one breakthrough, or falling to the low post with his back to pick up and shoot backwards.

Because of Ye Feng's continuous assault, every time he holds the ball, the Mavericks players are like a big enemy, and they have to wrap up, but as long as they are double-packed, Ye Feng can pass the ball to his teammates in the gaps, and his teammates are also very powerful to keep sending the ball into the basket. In desperation, Carlisle could only replace Stevenson and use Marion to play against Ye Feng instead. Carlisle doesn't want to use other defenders to top up, but whether it's Terry, Boubois or Barria, they are all at an absolute disadvantage in height, and they are even bigger holes than Stevenson, so they can only let Marion, who is more versatile, play against them.

Although Stevenson was substituted, Ye Feng did not give up his offensive. Marion is indeed outstanding, but he is not young anymore, although he is taller than Ye Feng, his pace cannot keep up with Ye Feng no matter what. In the face of Marion, Ye Feng naturally can't play a low-post attack, but he can continue to break through with the ball. Although Ye Feng was very angry in his heart, his mind was very clear, like an iceberg about to explode.

Ye Feng scored 27 points in the first half, but the Trail Blazers didn't lead too much, because Nowitzki on the opposite side also scored 22 points, so that the Mavericks were not directly beaten. But Ye Feng was not discouraged, but encouraged his teammates more enthusiastically at halftime. Sure enough, in the second half, the Trail Blazers were in full bloom, and the Mavericks' weakness of scoring alone by Nowitzki was exposed, and the Trail Blazers directly beat the opponent 33-17 in the third quarter, and the score was pulled away in an instant. Nowitzki struggled to score but couldn't come back, and the Mavericks lost the game 92-103 before leaving the Rose Garden arena to the boos of the fans.

Looking at the numbers on the scoreboard, Ye Feng smiled and said in his heart, "This is just the beginning." ”
