Chapter 133 [Magic Weakness, Unsolved Attack]
Chapter 133 of full text without ads [Magic weakness, unsolvable attack]
Both sides replaced the substitute in the second quarter
Thibodeau lets Barrea play, shooting guard Moro, small forward Wright, power forward Hayes, center McGee.
After seeing Nelson scored a lot of points with cover, Thibodeau also wanted Baria, who had a sharp breakthrough, to try it out. In training, he had a strong scoring ability. The substitute replaced by the Magic did not have much attack power, so Baria didn't have to worry about being beaten up.
The Magic sent veteran point guard Anthony Johnson, shooting guard JJ Redick, small forward Michael Pitrus, power forward Tony Barty, center DeAndrew Jordan.
In contrast, the Clippers' substitute lineup is more dynamic and the scoring points are more scattered. Except for Redick and Pitrus, the other three players have too low scoring abilities.
Ye Feng wiped his sweat with a towel, covered his head, and stopped watching the game. He wanted to take this time to think carefully about how to ensure offensive efficiency and what are the weaknesses of the Magic?
He scored 10 points in the first quarter, but in the last few minutes he didn't get a single point. Being targeted by Howard was a very annoying thing and felt very oppressive.
Thibodeau thought Ye Feng was tired, so he would stare at the stadium with all his attention, wanting to learn something from it, and rarely have time to rest when he covered his head.
In just over a month, the team played 20 games. Even the NBA was still playing on Christmas. The schedule was too close. The basketball game in other countries was too pediatric compared to the NBA, with up to three games a week. Last season, Ye Feng played for only more than 30 minutes with the Lakers. Although he played for a long time when he went to the Grizzlies, he didn't care about the winner and the defeat because of practicing his outside playing style. He was not very tired because of his low intensity of the confrontation. This season, he fought hard every game and played for more than 40 minutes in each game.
Thibodeau sat beside him and said lightly: "This game still depends on you, but don't bear too much pressure on your heart. Relax to play well."
Ye Feng lifted the towel and smiled and said, "In the month when Josh was resting, the Clippers must win at least half of the games, otherwise it will be difficult to enter the playoffs. Looking at the previous few seasons, it will take at least 48 wins to advance. I will not play badly this season. Coach, how can I play better?"
Thibodeau said lightly: "I can see that you want to win, and I also hope to help your teammates find the feel and be a qualified leader. However, I think your playing style is still wrong and should be more unique.
Ye Feng was stunned and said, "Do you think I'm not alone enough? I'm already the top in the team's shooting. If my teammates don't feel the touch, the opponent puts the focus of the defense on me throughout the game. Wouldn't that be bad? I think I'll have to pass it when necessary, right?"
He recalled that in the playoffs in his previous life, Ross made 30+ shots in a row in a row. It seems that this was the arrangement of Thibodeau.
Thibodeau said: "You are right. Many stars like to keep some strength at the start of some games to make their teammates feel. But on the contrary, the Magic uses Jordan's rule for you, letting one person defend you alone and prevent the other four. In this case, if you pass them, they will not have a good chance. It is better for you to shoot. If you keep attacking, people can't defend themselves and pass the ball when you have to double-team you, it will be easier to form an assist. Jordan's first choice back then was attacking, although he had Pippen around him. Your current approach is not like Jordan at all."
At that time, Smith's joke was taken seriously by Thibodeau and really wanted to use him as Jordan. Ye Feng suddenly had inspiration and said, "If I were to be Jordan, I wouldn't be able to play in the inside. Give me a tactical version. Do you think this is OK?"
Ye Feng took the tactical board, drew a few times, and said, "I won't go to the low post after I come on the court, so I will launch an attack from the outside. If Howard comes out, I will pass it to Love to let him play Lewis in the low post. If Howard doesn't come out, I will single for others. As long as I bring the ball to the 45-degree and high-level shots on both sides that I know, I will be sure. I can eat the physique of Cootney Lee."
Jordan often dribbles the ball to familiar positions and solves the battle with jump shots. Kobe also often plays like this. As long as he has the opportunity to fight one-on-one, his offense is very firm. Ye Feng's passing awareness is not enough, and imitating James's sudden point combination is really unsuccessful. He has mastered a lot of ball rights this season and only has 3.6 assists. When Smith was there, he still had people to pass. Now he passes to these teammates, his offensive efficiency is indeed not high, so he might as well make a jump shot.
Thibodeau thought for a while and said, "Yes, you can take a bold move, and Love can also grab the frontcourt rebounds. If you shoot more, he will grab more. Howard may not dare to come out in order to protect the rebounds. Love can't play the advantage of grabbing rebounds at a high position. It's time to change it. If they double-team, I will immediately replace the pitcher to help you. At that time, you can also let Gotat be on the lower post on the other side, so there are people on both sides of the low posts, so Howard will be difficult to defend it."
In the substitute competition, the Clippers have the upper hand. The Magic can score too few substitutes. DeAndrew Jordan has no advantage against McGee, and he has no face-frame attack and back. Power forward Tony Barty is too old and can only defend, and Hayes can easily defend him. Redick is a fixed-point pitcher. Although the shooting is accurate, he relies too much on his teammates' passing. Only Pitrus is active, and he has the advantage of writing when playing Wright.
The Clippers Barria finally seized the opportunity and used the pick-and-roll with McGee to reverse the Magic defense line. Veteran Anthony Johnson could not keep up with him at all, and Barty and Jordan Jr.'s assisting defense were always half a beat slow. Jordan Jr. was only in the first season, and he had no offense and had not fully developed his defensive ability. He would block the shot. When he flicked at the basket, he wanted to take off. It turned out that McGee was also the same problem. Under the strict training of Mutombo and Mahon, he had improved and learned to reach out to interfere when defending.
After playing for 6 minutes, the Clippers led by 6 points 38 to 32. The Magic sent all the main players to the field, and the Clippers also replaced the starting lineup in the first quarter.
Thibodeau asked Barnes to defend against Tkoglu, and Ye Feng was responsible for defending the weakest attack. Kutney Lee, who saved his energy and used it all to attack.
Howard used a dunk to grab the frontcourt rebound when he came on the court, narrowing the gap to 4 points, 38 to 34.
Everyone had heard Thibodeau talk about the tactics, Ye Feng attacked with the ball, Gott's cover at high positions, Love was responsible for waiting for opportunities at low positions, Barnes, Love, and Ye Feng formed a triangle with each other, creating a single opportunity for Ye Feng.
The Clippers launched a triangular attack, which really made the Magic feel uncomfortable. Howard could not defend himself directly with Ye Feng. He was the only one who had the strength to withstand Love in the inside, and Ye Feng ran under the defense of Cootenley Lee.
Lowry passed the ball to Ye Feng's hand, but he didn't look for a pick-and-roll, dribbled the ball from the right into the three-point line, without any fake moves, carried Cootney Li on his left shoulder, and carried the ball into the inside with his right hand. At a 45-degree angle, he arched Cootney Li with two steps, took the ball and turned around and stopped and jumped into the jump shot.
The difference in strength between the two was too big. Kootenney Li was knocked back. It was too late to wait for Ye Feng to make an action and jump and interfere. This is Ye Feng's most accurate position. Play cricket! 40 to 34.
In the Magic attack, Ye Feng went to Cootenyi and Li. After all, Li was a young man, and he was full of energy. After receiving the ball, he wanted to fight Ye Feng alone. His dribbling skills were good, but his speed was average. It was nothing great for Ye Feng, who was used to defending the defender. He tried several fake moves but failed to get rid of it. Finally, he chose to make a quick stop and jump shot. He missed the box. Love once again showed his talent for rebounding and stuck Howard and won the backcourt rebound.
This is actually a confrontation between the two strongest rebounders in the league in the future. Love's position is slightly stronger than Howard, and Howard's bounce is much better than Love's, and the two of them are half a dozen. Today they both find it difficult to grab offensive rebounds.
The Clippers counterattacked, Ye Feng received the ball at a high position, turned to face Cootney Li, and took the ball with one hand with his left hand and suddenly reached to the left. His hand was very big, and the ball was grabbed very steadily. When Cootney Li looked in that direction, Ye Feng immediately retracted his left hand and took the ball to the right and passed Cootney Li one step away. Howard still topped Love at the basket, Ye Feng did not break into the inside line, but still stopped and jumped at a 45-degree angle, and then stepped on the board and made another move. 42 to 34.
Basil shouted: "This is the third time Ye Feng has made a 45-degree angle cricket in this game. He may want to use this as a trick."
Michael Smith also said excitedly: "It has been widened to 8 points, and the Clippers seem to win this game."
The Magic gave Howard a single shot this time. He turned to the middle with Love and shot with a hook. Ye Feng came back to the high position to make up for defense and gave Howard a big hat from behind. Just now, after Ye Feng discovered that Cootney-Li was attacking, Howard roared twice, a little dissatisfied. He concluded that the ball would not be passed to Cootney-Li. When he moved at the high position, he let go of the defender and chose to make up for defense.
Lowry picked up the basketball fast attack, Nelson and Kutney-Li quickly returned to the position, Lowry protected the basketball, and as soon as Ye Feng ran to the frontcourt, he immediately handed the ball to Ye Feng. He still received the ball from the outside, and did not rely on the pick-and-roll, resisted Kutney-Li Yun to 45 degrees on the right. Turning around and bent his knees, lifting his hands, Kutney-Li jumped up in a hurry, Ye Feng hit him, spread his hands, and pushed the ball out with one hand with his right hand, and still went into the cricket. The referee whistled, 2+1.
Xiao Li didn't even pull Ye Feng down in the air, which shows how big the difference in strength between the two was.
With such a way of playing, Van Gundy was going crazy. He found out the problem, but he didn't know what to do. Howard couldn't defend himself. With just one cover, Ye Feng could throw him away, and the inside line would be empty at that time. But Ye Feng singled out Kutney Lee, which was just a bully. He couldn't stop him from dribbling the ball to a familiar location to shoot.
Ye Feng plays the same role as Kobe. The difference is that Kobe must use his skills to avoid playing and dribble the ball to a low post or a familiar position. People can also interfere with Kobe in confrontation and disrupt his rhythm. Ye Feng can use a bulldozer to dribble the ball to a certain position. It is difficult to disrupt his rhythm. He is simply a life-threatening person in the No. 2 position.
With the body advantage, Ye Feng's direct ball attacking effect is better, and the Clippers found the Magic's fatal point!
