Ye Feng's words were undoubtedly agreed by McMillan, and he took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to replace Ye Feng and Roy on the field. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, Otlo continued to stay on the court and play the No. 3 position, allowing Roy and Ye Feng to partner in the backcourt. Of course, McMillan did not let Oden, who also said that he was well-rested, on the one hand, the consumption of interior players is far greater than that of outside players, and on the other hand, he also has to protect the big man. Now the Trail Blazers' on-court lineup is Roy, Ye Feng, Outlaw, Fry and Diogu, a typical lineup of one center + four shooters, but ...... Okay, Oterlo can't be a shooter anymore, but at least three more shooters are on the floor at the same time.

This is Ye Feng's favorite configuration, because such a lineup can open up space, involve defense, and create more opportunities for the breaker. Before the Trail Blazers sent the baseline ball, Ye Feng deliberately walked up to Roy and whispered: "Brandon, you will attack later, break through more, I will wait for your pass in the gap on the outside." Roy was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Aren't you going to hold the ball and play alone?" Ye Feng shook his head and said: "Of course I am very willing to hold the ball, but to put it more arrogantly, I have a bigger grasp of shooting on the outside than you, rather than letting you run without the ball to catch the ball and shoot, it is better to let you play your advantage of breaking through sharpness." This may be a more suitable option for the team. Roy nodded silently, but there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.

However, Ye Feng didn't think it was a big problem, in fact, if it was him, he would also trust his attack more. But at this time, it is not so important who is the main attacker and who is the first to fight, and it is only serious to fill in the pit first. Maybe Ye Feng trusts Roy more than himself, and it is obvious that Brooks, the point guard who is present on the court with the Rockets, can't stop Roy, and it's even difficult to attack against offense. "Little Black Bean" is strictly a nerve knife shooter, his thin body is difficult to effectively threaten the basket, although Roy is inferior to him in terms of speed, but his strong body can offset Brooks's advantage in speed to the greatest extent, and both offense and defense can effectively suppress the Rockets' backup point guard.

In Adelman's view, the Trail Blazers are completely hooliganism, using a two-way guard who plays mainly as a point guard to play point guard, while the Rockets, whether Alston or Brooks, are flexible but thin point guards, completely unable to resist Roy's crushing. Arstom was logically much more experienced, but Roy's old-fashioned preoccupation with his peers made the idea of Adelman sending Alstom to limit it a luxury. Driven by Roy, Ye Feng frequently blocked and dismantled with Outlaw on the outside, and when he got a gap, Roy's pass always appeared in his hand in time.

Contrary to Ye Feng, Maddy, the main point of attack of the Rockets, prefers to rely on personal ability to eat, and the offensive method is very simple and rude, that is, to test the step and pull up the jumper, or force a breakthrough directly after one or two feints. He is indeed strong enough to support the offense of the entire team by himself, but Ye Feng's defense is not vegetarian, not to mention that now the gap between the two in terms of physical strength is getting bigger and bigger. Of course, he is very handsome to attack with the ball, but the physical exertion is much greater than that of attacking without the ball, and Maddie himself has no desire to defend, so it is not surprising that Ye Feng's physical advantage is gradually expanding.

Under the crazy scoring of Roy and Ye Feng, the Trail Blazers gradually pulled back the disadvantage of the score, and only trailed by 2 points at the end of the second quarter at 55-57, that is, McMillan's adjustment directly helped the team fill the hole of more than ten points and won the initiative for the team's situation in the second half. However, such a crazy chase has a price, at halftime, Ye Feng sat in the locker room and kept panting, sweat dripping to the ground along the tips of his hair and sideburns, forming small puddles. He has never felt so tired, not even in the NCAA, Roy can still use his physical advantage to suppress the point guard of the Rockets, but Ye Feng can't, facing Maddie is really a painful thing, he has to spend more energy, so the opponent should still score the same goal.

Looking at Ye Feng's exhausted appearance, McMillan was silent for a while, and said seriously: "You have to rest in the second half, Ye, I don't want to see you squeeze yourself dry because of a regular season." Ye Feng raised his head and said stubbornly: "Coach, let me continue to play, I can still score, I can pass, I can defend, and I can do everything the team needs me to do." Unexpectedly, McMillan, who is usually very talkative, made up his mind this time, and he said categorically: "This matter is not negotiable!" Based on your request and your ability to recover, I'll keep you on the court in the fourth quarter, but until then, you'll be honest enough to stay on the bench and look for holes in the Rockets' defense. ”

McMillan took out the authority of the head coach, and Ye Feng naturally didn't dare to refute, but his expression of worrying that the score difference would be opened up again was written on his face. How could McMillan not guess what was going on in this kid's mind? This is the biggest disadvantage of talented players, always thinking that the team can't function without itself, but a team made up of stars is impossible, even if it is extremely close, it is not guaranteed to win the championship. He patted Ye Feng on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Ye, in my opinion, there is one thing that you must learn quickly, and that is to believe in your teammates. How do you know if you don't play? Your teammates are also very good players! You have to learn to trust, a player who thinks about himself in everything will not only be tired himself, but also attract the disgust of others. ”

Listening to the head coach's words, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel hot for a while, he realized that he did have a high self-esteem, but he also felt very strange, he didn't have this mentality when he was in the NCAA before! In fact, in the final analysis, it is the impact of the team's strength gap, the UCLA Bruins reached the final four in the season before he joined, and they are an out-and-out strong team, while the Trail Blazers did not even make the playoffs last season, which is a little too different for Ye Feng. That's why he subtly amplified his role in the team, and in fact, the strength of the twin stars of Roy and Ade should not be underestimated.

Sure enough, under McMillan's arrangement, the Trail Blazers restarted last season's cooperation, the difference was that Outlaw replaced Webster, and the center position was replaced by Oden. Perhaps it is also because the new system is still being run-in, and the team's veteran players are more accustomed to the usual routine of playing a whole season last season. Although Ye Feng sat on the bench to rest, he still focused on the game, he had to admit that the combat power of the old players of the Trailblazers was still quite amazing, although it seemed that most of the shots were concentrated on the two core players of Roy and Ade, one inside and one outside, but they couldn't stand up to the high efficiency of others!

The two teams were evenly matched in the third quarter, with the Trail Blazers trailing slightly and heading into the fourth quarter 73-78. At this time, Adelman's shortcomings in relenting with the main force were exposed, and several major rotation players also felt very tired, and the Trail Blazers took the opportunity to rely on Ye Feng, who had just come on the court and was still energetic, to chase the score back little by little. However, after a short break, the main force of the Rockets returned to the battlefield and fought against the Trail Blazers. Maddy's sudden outburst and inside and outside shots helped the Rockets maintain a slim lead until the final 20 seconds of the game to maintain a three-point lead.

At this time, Ye Feng is undoubtedly the player with the best physical strength in the entire Trailblazers, but this is also relative, in fact, he has once again felt the heaviness of his body, but he is still gritting his teeth and insisting for the victory of the team. The Trailblazers served in the backcourt, and Ye Feng dodged the entanglement of the Rockets' outside players while carrying the ball, and it took almost 8 seconds to bring the ball to the frontcourt. 12 seconds is not short, but the team's physical strength is a big problem, everyone is gritting their teeth and holding on, the ball passed by Ye Feng went around in a circle and returned to his hands, which is not to blame his teammates for throwing the pot, there is really no strength to get rid of the crazy defense of the rocket at the last moment.

Facing Maddie's long arm held high, Ye Feng dribbled the ball on the outside unhurriedly, and at this time he could only believe in himself, and his teammates were also very interested in letting them pair one-on-one. Heavy shoulders, shaking, dribbling behind the back, changing direction in front of the body, Ye Feng finally found a chance to take advantage of Maddie's defense, the time was almost up, he couldn't help but think more, so he let the opponent's long arm seal his face, and resolutely shot. McMillan stared at the ball that flew towards the basket, but after a bumble, it rolled into the basket without a hitch.

The time left for the Rockets was only 0.3 seconds, and under the slight entanglement, Maddie, who received the ball, did not even have a chance to shoot in the backcourt, and the game went into overtime. At this time, the bayonet was already red, and even if McMillan couldn't bear it, he had to put his main lineup on the field. Now he is most fortunate that the average age of the team is not high, the physical strength of young people is relatively easy to recover, and the main force of the Rockets is much worse, especially Yao Ming, his jump shot after receiving the ball under the basket and hitting the back body alone is a little out of shape, and it is obvious that the physical strength has been squeezed to the extreme.

Although Maddie mustered up the courage to desperately score points in the 5-minute overtime, Ye Feng and Roy's outbursts were not bad, and the Rockets could only play the role of a catch-up after entering overtime, and the players' physical strength was no longer enough for them to continue to compete with the Trail Blazers, a young guard. In the end, Maddie scored a game-high 30 points, but it was useless, and the Trail Blazers narrowly defeated the Rockets 101-99 in overtime, ending a two-game losing streak.

But for Ye Feng, what he wants to do most now is to get into bed and sleep well, and the joy of victory will wait until he gets up.
