Chapter 336: Gritting Teeth and Persevering

The Lakers' lead isn't huge, and with a quarter to go, the Trail Blazers have every chance of tying. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But the matter of equalizing the score is easy to say but difficult to do, and with the state of Kobe Bryant, who blocks and kills Buddha, Ye Feng really has no confidence. But thinking that this was already an extremely important playoffs, Ye Feng still took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and tried to stop Kobe Bryant.

As for scoring, I still believe in my teammates, Ye Feng doesn't think that he can play an explosive performance on the offensive end while defending Kobe. McMillan still continued to play the old Miller, and now he may be the most reassuring ball handler on the team, when Ye Feng is not available to organize the attack.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ye Feng appeared in front of Kobe Bryant for the first time and put on a standard defensive posture. Kobe Bryant's eyes narrowed, and his mentality suddenly became much more cautious, and in his conscience he recognized Ye Feng's ability very much, although this does not mean that he will release water in the game, but at least he must be mentally ready to deal with it. Matthews, who was in charge of marking before, didn't make him feel bored, you must know that Kobe Bryant has always been a guy who loves challenges.

In fact, the best way now is to give the ball to Artest and let him go to the low post to play Matthews with his back to single, with Matthews's small body, there is a chance that Artest will not be able to carry Artest, which is also the most efficient way for the Lakers to score. Phil, who was pacing around the court, saw clearly, but instead of waving his arms to give instructions to the players as usual, he believed in Kobe, or he could only choose to trust Kobe, as he had always done in his coaching career.

Many people think that Phil's success is only because the team and players he coaches are too strong, first there is the Bulls dynasty of Jordan Pippen, and then there is the Lakers dynasty of the "OK combination". When he returned to coach the Kobe Bryant Lakers in 2005, Phil won only 45 and 42 wins in two consecutive seasons, and although the Lakers could still make the playoffs, their status was very different from before. And after acquiring Gasol in the 2007 offseason at a very small cost, he led the Lakers to 57 wins in the West again. Regardless, Phil is very good at using stars, thanks to the fact that he often lets the stars figure things out on their own.

For example, now.

It's not that Kobe doesn't know that passing the ball to Artest is a better choice, but you must know that he is a stubborn person, and in a sense, the Lakers are his own team, so the choice he has made now is to go head-to-head with Ye Feng one-on-one. This isn't the first time the two have played against each other, both in official matches and off-season training, and the two have played one-on-one on the court countless times, the difference is only whether they have teammates next to them.

But what surprised Kobe Bryant was that every time he went one-on-one, Ye Feng seemed to have made a small improvement compared to the last time, and the magnitude was really not big, but after accumulating like this for a long time, God knows what kind of performance this guy will play next time. Although Kobe Bryant's personality did not feel afraid, he couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity in his heart, and he subconsciously wanted to measure Ye Feng's ability, this strange idea even he didn't notice.

Ye Feng stared at Kobe's toes, he knew that Kobe rarely pulled out three-pointers in front of him, and breaking through was almost the only option, and with Kobe's pride, he would not summon his teammates to come up and block the demolition. So at this time, as long as you look at Kobe's toes, you can judge whether he is a temptation or a direct hard burst, Ye Feng still has a lot of experience in opposing Kobe, which is a long-term one-on-one lesson.

Kobe Bryant's toes moved, but the center of gravity of his body did not change, and Ye Feng was firmly rooted in place, which was obviously a tentative step, and he didn't pay attention to it at all. Suddenly, the frequency of Kobe Bryant's slapping skyrocketed, and a series of "bang" sounds made Ye Feng's nerves tense, tentative, or tentative, left? Or right? Just when Ye Feng was in a dilemma, Kobe Bryant wiped it from Ye Feng's left side with a feint, and at this time, Ye Feng's center of gravity was still on the right side in order to cope with his last move.

After being passed, he naturally wanted to find the field, Ye Feng smiled bitterly in his heart while chasing back: Sure enough, he is an old and refined character, the quality of this fake action is so high that I didn't even react, and he is worthy of being one of the strongest scorers in the league today!

Kobe Bryant's forward footsteps suddenly stopped, jumped, shot, and used countless stop-and-back jumpers in front of Matthews before. Ye Feng didn't give up, he jumped directly from Kobe's side and back, trying to straighten his arm and try to touch the basketball that had just left Kobe's palm.

A little higher...... A little higher...... The fingertips of Ye Feng's middle finger finally rubbed the bottom of the rapidly rotating basketball, and the originally perfect arc suddenly had a slight change, which was so small that it was negligible impact, Kobe Bryant's inevitable goal smashed directly at the front of the basket, and when the basketball just left the cylinder where the basket was located, several hands had stretched out towards it, and the owner of the hand had already flown in the air.

But a pair of yellow-skinned hands suddenly appeared at the top, and they pulled the ball down, and everyone was shocked, what is the situation? Just after the defense immediately rushed to the inside to grab the rebound? How did this guy still have so much stamina in the fourth quarter? Is he still human?

Of course, Ye Feng is a human being, rushing to grab rebounds is just subconsciously, and his physical strength is not as good as it seems. With his habit, when he wins a defensive rebound, he must quickly advance with the ball to play the transition offense, but this time he just carefully protected the rebound, and waited until the Lakers players had all their minds before handing the ball to Miller, and walked to the opponent's half court by himself, taking this opportunity to recover his strength.

Ye Feng didn't get involved much in the next attack, just used his running position and three threats to pull space for his teammates to attack, and it was Aldridge near the elbow area who executed the final blow. Defending Kobe Bryant is a very tiring thing, Ye Feng feels that he is very tired all over his body, but he still has to grit his teeth to deal with the Lakers' next attack. Now the pressure on the whole team is focused on him, and if Kobe Bryant can't be restrained, the Trail Blazers may be beaten by the Lakers in an instant, which is unacceptable to him.

Therefore, in the next round, Ye Feng must concentrate on every move of Kobe, deeply understand Kobe's every move, and then make the right reaction at the first time. In fact, the biggest consumption of defending Kobe Bryant is not physical, but psychological, because you have to work up every moment. Scientific studies have shown that prolonged tension can make people feel tired, just like Ye Feng.
