Miller was stunned for a moment, but passed the ball over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although Ye Feng was just blocked by Artest, he still believes in Ye Feng's ability. It stands to reason that Miller, as a veteran ruffian who has been in the league for many years, has no shortage of experience and reason, perhaps it was Ye Feng's previous performance that conquered him, so he chose to continue to believe that Ye Feng can help the team score, even if Ye Feng's situation is really not good now.

Indeed, Ye Feng is now receiving the ball at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line on the wing, and Artest is behind him, in other words, he is now facing away from the basket, and it is difficult to turn around. Artest's position was very good, and he was secretly smug in his heart: "Now look at how you turn around!" Aren't you very bullish? Isn't it amazing? You hit me with your back outside the three-point line to see? Smug, he didn't hesitate to use a little more force.

For Ye Feng, the best way now is to transfer the ball to his teammates and find another opportunity for himself. But time did not allow the Trailblazers to continue to run a complete tactic, and their offensive time in this round was only about 3 seconds, Ye Feng's pass was to throw the pot, or directly to a 24-second violation. So at this time he has to attack on his own, even if Artest is stuck in the position now, which is a self-confidence as a star and a responsible performance for the team. He thought hard as he dribbled the ball, and looked up at the time on the timer.

Artest stuck very tightly, but Ye Feng leaned back with all his strength, squeezed out a little space, jumped directly, turned around, and threw the ball out in a very awkward posture, his body twisted like a twist in mid-air. No matter from which point of view, this is a super difficult action, in order to avoid Artest's block, Ye Feng even added some back, although the amplitude is not large, but it is enough to cause trouble for Artest. However, at this moment, Artest was confused, he thought that he had defended well, but he didn't expect Ye Feng to shoot in such an unconventional posture.

And more importantly, he can't cover it yet, which makes him a little breathless. Originally, the backward shooting was a shooting technique developed in order to avoid the interference of defenders to the greatest extent, plus Ye Feng deliberately used his body to push out a little space before shooting, and the shot was very sudden, and when Artest reacted, he had already completed the jumping action. If Artest still insists on blocking, with Ye Feng's experience, he can deliberately bump into Artest when he jumps and stretches out his hand to make a foul, and if he is lucky, he may be able to play a 3+1, which is unacceptable to Artest.

So the only thing he can do now is to pray that Ye Feng's shooting will hit the iron directly, and the Lakers' rebounding ability is not covered.

But Artest's prayers obviously didn't work, and thinking about it, there were still so many Trail Blazers fans praying that the goal was going to be scored, and his piety alone still couldn't resist others. In Artest's depressed eyes, the basketball plunged into the basket and splashed a circle of white nets. Although the Trail Blazers' offense this time is very hard, the three points are real, but the Lakers still don't pay attention to it, who doesn't eat dumplings at home?

Phil didn't care either, and didn't make targeted arrangements for Ye Feng, he didn't believe that this guy could still toss any moths. In fact, as a coach who teamed up with Jordan to win six championships, Phil was on the scene when Jordan insisted on playing with food poisoning and led the team to victory, but he couldn't connect Ye Feng with Jordan back then, so he chose to let it go now.

But he soon regretted it, because Ye Feng hit two more three-pointers in a row under Artest's defense, completely turning into a heavy cannon on the outside of the Trail Blazers, giving the Lakers a headache. Originally, their idea was to quickly open up the difference in the first quarter, and seeing that they were about to succeed, Ye Feng's three three-pointers directly extinguished this small flame, narrowing the gap to 4 points again, which made the Lakers players hold their breath in their hearts.

This shows the focus of the offensive systems of both sides, with the Lakers preferring to score from mid-range and under the basket, while the Trail Blazers are more focused on the perimeter. It's not that the Trail Blazers don't have the ability to score inside, Aldridge's straight-arm jumper is still a very threatening offensive method, but this can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket for the team. Aldridge can often play at a high level against teams with average interior strength, but as long as the opponent is strong inside, he will immediately stand out from the crowd, which is the fundamental reason why many people attack him as not a top scorer on the inside, even if he is averaging almost 20 points per game.

In the first quarter, neither side sent substitutes, and just played the whole quarter with the main players. Originally, McMillan wanted to replace Ye Feng in the middle of the first quarter, but at that time, the Trail Blazers were still in a tug of war with the Lakers, and once Ye Feng was replaced, the scene would deteriorate rapidly. And the team doctor thought that Ye Feng's sweating a little more on the court was good for the recovery of the flu, and it seemed that his performance on the field was not bad, so he did not make the decision to make a substitution. With Ye Feng's efforts, the Trail Blazers' performance in the first quarter was still good, and it can be seen from the score that they only fell slightly behind 28-30.

However, in the second quarter, McMillan still gave Ye Feng some more rest, and when he played 4 minutes to replace the starter, he did not let Ye Feng play, but left the backup small forward Cunningham. Cunningham and Ye Feng are two different styles, this rookie with a slender body but lack of shooting ability is very suitable for becoming a pure outside gate, but McMillan still hopes that he can develop three-point shooting ability, after all, 3D players are still very popular in the league, and from the perspective of career development planning, it is imperative for Cunningham to improve his three-point ability.

It was precisely because he lacked the necessary offensive means to score by attacking the basket with an empty cut, that the Lakers did not hesitate to shrink the defense. Although this gave the Trail Blazers' outside players a lot of opportunities, Miller was busy organizing the offense, and Batum frequently hit the iron, and the Trail Blazers' offense was greatly hindered for a while, and the Lakers quickly stretched the difference to 10 points. While a 10-point lead at this time wasn't a big deal, it still took a toll on the Trail Blazers' morale.

In desperation, McMillan still let Ye Feng replace Cunningham, ready to reopen the situation on the offensive end.
