~.-~ Chapter 448

Durant's actual height is close to 210cm, which looks similar to Duncan. His lateral movement is very fast, but once the center of gravity is lowered, the movement speed will be weakened. Garnett has won the best defensive player, but if he is allowed to defend the defender to break through, it will be a bit difficult.

Ye Feng used the defender's style to minimize the center of gravity. Durant followed from the side. Ye Feng showed another benefit after lowering the center of gravity, which was easier to exert force. He approached Durant and hit him twice with his back. Durant took a step back and Ye Feng immediately turned around and opened the distance. He made a 45-degree angle leaning back and jumped to the left, and made a cricket! 2-0.

Ye Feng is too familiar with Staples Staples Stadium. He doesn't need to look at it. He can tell where he is by just feeling. The distance between the shooting point and the basket is, and how much force it is easy to enter. He stands on this field as if he is part of the field.

With the Thunder attack, Ye Feng followed Durant on the periphery. This season, Ye Feng won the Best Defensive Player for the rest of the year, and won the highest number of votes in the Best Line Team selection. His individual defense ability is top-notch, and it is his responsibility to defend the opponent's offensive core.

Durant received the ball, Ye Feng immediately approached. Durant took two steps and couldn't turn around easily, so he passed the ball out. Ross used Ibaka's cover to break through and pass the ball, and Sefrosa once again hung up Durant who entered the three-point line. Ye Feng was close to him again. He also tried his best to create physical confrontation in the off-ball defense, which had a good effect. Compared with Durant, who was thin, Ye Feng's body had the advantage.

Durant chose to play back, squeezed twice, turned to the baseline and leaned back to the jump shot. Ye Feng judged the right direction, jumped to interfere, and the ball was skewed.

Love took the backcourt rebound and threw the ball with both hands to Smith who rushed to the frontcourt. Ye Feng and Tony Allen also quickly got off. The three outside players of the Thunder returned to defense quickly, and Ibaka also led Gasol Gran. Smith saw that it was not possible, so he took it to the frontcourt to control the situation and handed the ball to Tony Allen, who handed it to Ye Feng. Ye Feng and waited for Love to arrive in the frontcourt. After Gasol Gran came down, he passed the ball to Love outside the three-point line on the right and ran to the low post on the right. As soon as he reached the low post, Love hung the ball in.

The Thunder did not change defense, Durant and Ye Feng followed Ye Feng. Ye Feng immediately took the lead in the inside line. In recent years, Durant has made progress in all aspects. If you want to say which point of progress is the least, it is the ability to confrontation, he is still very thin. Ye Feng arched into the inside line and turned to the bottom line in a tough way and entered the basket. Perkins let go of Grand Gasol to make up for defense. Ye Feng jumped out of the bottom line and bypassed Perkins and passed the ball to the left. Grand Gasol took a step outside the penalty area and made a mid-range shot. 4-0.

Barkley said: "Beautiful, the Clippers had the upper hand at the beginning, and they played smoothly on both attacks. Let's see how the Thunder's offense is."

It is difficult for Durant to get rid of Ye Feng. This time Ross attacked with the ball, relying on cover to throw away Tony Allen, break into the inside, Smith replaced, and Love went to the outside to defend Seversa, who had no ability to hold the ball, and such a little change prevented the Thunder's offense. Ross' breakthrough mainly depends on speed. Smith can keep up with his speed. Ross dribbled the ball under his crotch and made a jump shot, and the ball missed. The rebound was pulled back by Ye Feng, who was withdrawn from the penalty area.

It was handed over to Tony Allen, the Clippers landed in the position. This time, Ye Feng asked for the ball again at the low post. Durant went to defend the outside, and Ibaka and Ye Feng faced each other. This season Ibaka was also selected for the best defensive team. He is relatively strong and can withstand Ye Feng.

However, Ye Feng didn't take Ibaka seriously at all. The Clippers have studied his weaknesses thoroughly.

Ibaka is a good defender with amazing physical fitness, but he is afraid of defenders breaking through, especially teams with poor defense. These Clippers scouts have long given information and have also studied the games of the Thunder against the Warriors and the Suns in small lineups. Ibaka is often overtaken after being misaligned, and flew away in a flash...

Several inside players of the Thunder have weaknesses. Perkins is very powerful in the paint area and can jamm the opponent's throat, but move slowly. As for Collison, it is similar to Reggie Evans, a life-threatening old ball piss. And Ibaka, now young defense-type jumping men generally have high expectations in the league, but it is still difficult to feel at ease at critical moments. DeAndrew Jordan of the Mavericks is the same type as him, and was dealt with by Ye Feng in the last round. If you want to be the best defender, keep up with the people, raise your hands and jump less is the right way.

It is not okay to only block the shot when facing Ye Feng. Ye Feng broke through the box after receiving the ball. He first dribbled the ball under his crotch and walked to the bottom line with his right hand, attracting Ibaka to move, and then dribbled the ball behind him and left hand. He took a step towards the middle. Ibaka quickly moved horizontally to the middle, but Ye Feng had already pulled the ball up. He turned the ball around the back with his left hand and handed it to his right hand. He made a big step change and completely passed Ibaka, and he cut the ball with one hand! 6 to 0.

The poor Thunder's best defensive player was stunned by this series of fake moves.

In the Thunder attack, Ibaka first picked and rolled the teammates, and then asked for the ball. After the misalignment, he faced Tony Allen. Ross passed the ball to a high position. Ibaka received the ball and shot it in the middle. Tony Allen interfered with it with all his strength, and the ball was tilted again. The rebound was taken by Gasol.

The Clippers are not in a hurry to attack and control the situation and positional battles. The Thunder likes fast-paced games, so the Clippers will not let them do what they want. Love goes to the periphery to cover Ye Feng and blocks Durant. Ye Feng gets away from the ball and gets the ball 45 degrees on the right. Ibaka replaces defense and Tony Allen hangs the ball in.

Ye Feng immediately turned around in the middle when he received the ball, jumped to the basket and stopped quickly and took the ball. Ibaka flew up. He thought Ye Feng was very close to the basket and would not make any fake moves anymore, but Ye Feng was swaying. After Ibaka jumped up, he jumped up. The two collided in the air. Ye Feng threw the ball with one hand, but the referee blew the whistle and got two free throws for a foul.

Ye Feng easily scored two free throws, 8 to 0.

The Clippers made an offensive**, Ross chose to attack with a strong attack, and pulled a layup in the penalty area to avoid Smith's block, and finally shot the ball into the ball! 8-2.

When the Clippers attacked, the Thunder did not dare to let Ibaka defend Ye Feng. Ye Feng had a strong ability to make fouls and averaged 9.6 free throws per game. Ibaka was very important to the Thunder, and Ye Feng would never miss the opportunity to make fouls on him.

Durant defended alone, Ye Feng asked for the ball at the low post again. This time Gasol also pulled to the periphery and did not give Perkins the opportunity to make up for defense. Ye Feng received the ball and singled Durant, and Durant was squeezing his back and retreated step by step. He shook his left shoulder lightly. Durant was worried that Ye Feng would turn to the bottom line, so he quickly moved half a step towards the bottom line. Ye Feng immediately turned around and jumped up in the opposite direction, posing in a sloping jump shot. Ibaka assisted in the defense and blocked the shot. Ye Feng passed the ball to Love in the air. The latter got an open three-pointer and hit a steadily! 11-2.

Ross used the screen to break through and attracted the defense and passed it to Ibaka. Ibaka faced Tony Allen dribbled the ball and made a jump shot, 11-4.

At the beginning, the Clippers took the initiative and handed over the position to Ye Feng. The other two insiders pulled to the periphery to create a single opportunity for him. After attracting double-teams, Ye Feng passed the ball. This time, in order to defend him, Ross let go of Tony Allen and Allen double-teams. Ye Feng immediately protected the ball and led it out. Allen used the cover of Gasol, the cover of the right side to cut from the bottom line. Ye Feng sent the ball in time. Although Allen failed to make a layup, the opportunity also came out.

The Clippers' offense is very smooth, while the Thunder relies more on singles to star players. Perkins and Ibaka can also shoot mid-range shots, but it is not the Thunder's main offensive method.

The Clippers led 33 to 24 in the first quarter.

Durant made 1 of 5 shots and only scored 4 points with free throws. Ye Feng scored 14 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists. This comprehensive performance is called an explosion when others happens. Fans are used to it. Every time they attack, they have to hand it to him. As long as they encounter double-team passes, it is easy to assist.

In the second quarter, the Thunder sent Collison, Mohammed, Daquian Cook, James Harden, and Fisher.

The Clippers replaced Mark Gasol, Barnes, Grant Hill, Thorton, Curry. Their second team can handle the starters of most teams. Mohamed lacks attack power and is a pure blue-collar worker and is only 208cm tall. In order to better defend the pick-and-roll, Thibodeau did not replace Yi Jianlian with Yi Jianlian, allowing Barnes to play the No. 4 position, with one big player on the court, leading four small players. Except Gasol, everyone else has three-point ability.

After only three minutes of playing, the Thunder could hardly hold it back. They lacked attackers. Fisher stood up and made shots many times, but he did not play in the same state as he was against the Spurs. He made 0 of 3 shots and became a blacksmith. The Thunder quickly replaced Durant, and Ye Feng was not in a hurry to play. The task of defending Durant was handed over to Hill.

Facing the defense of veteran Hill, Durant quickly found out his feelings, scored 5 points in a row, and caused Hill to make a foul. In order to strengthen the defense, the Clippers replaced Smith. Ye Feng continued to sit off the court and rested, and was very confident in his teammates.

By six minutes in the second quarter, the Thunder narrowed the gap to 5 points, and the Clippers replaced the main player at the opening, Curry replaced Tony Allen because he felt good. Ye Feng and Curry began to play pick-and-roll cooperation on the perimeter, which is a headache for many teams. If they don’t change defense, Curry will take action if they get rid of defense. If they change defense, Ye Feng will misplace the Thunder’s defender Derek Ross.

Curry lived up to his expectations and made three consecutive mid-range shots, which made the Thunder called a timeout. Brooks changed his joint defense strategy and asked Ross to defend Love who pulled to the outside, Durant did not change defense, and Ibaka pulled to the outside to meet Curry who broke through. This arrangement would only lead to more misalignment in positions.

If he didn't do this, Ye Feng's single-player Ross would be even more serious. After the timeout, the Clippers also changed their style of play, Gasol pulled out to cover, and Ye Feng broke through after receiving the ball and became a single-player Perkins.

Love not only had a height advantage when he took action on the outside, but Smith and Ye Feng also grabbed four frontcourt rebounds in this quarter and made a second offense. The Clippers scored 10-0, expanding the score again.

In the second half, the Thunder did not set off any momentum to chase points. The "Thunder Three Young Masters" came on the court together and received special attention. The Clippers players relaxed their defense against Ibaka and Perkins. The two of them failed to work when the mid-range shots failed. The Clippers players had more opportunities to assist in defense, and their single defense ability was also very strong.

James Harden played very beautifully this season, but when facing Tony Allen, he was stared and difficult to catch the ball, unable to break through, and was interrupted by the shooting, and he made a lot of blows. Durant's offensive pressure was heavier, and he performed poorly today. In the second half, Smith was replaced by defense, and the situation was slightly better. Ross was targeted by Ye Feng and began to be depressed again. Without relying on cover, Ross failed to make a breakthrough successfully.

The Clippers' offense is still Princeton, blooming at multiple points, constantly sharing the ball and transferring the ball to find space and misalignment opportunities. Gasol and Love got a lot of shooting opportunities.

Ye Feng and Smith rushed to the inside to grab the frontcourt rebounds, Ye Feng grabbed 4 frontcourt rebounds in the third quarter, and there was another wonderful make-up dunk! The other two weaknesses of the Thunder were revealed, and the rebounds were too poor and fouls were troubled.

Because Love is here, rebounding has always been a major advantage of the Clippers, especially the backcourt rebounding protection is very good, making it difficult for the opponent to get two offensive opportunities. In the whole league, only the Nets' rebounding game is more than the Clippers.

The Thunder's two inside rebounding ability is too poor, and they don't protect their backcourt rebounds well enough. As soon as Ye Feng grabbed the frontcourt rebound and made a second attack, the Thunder could only use fouls to stop him. Ibaka, Perkins and Durant all carried four fouls early. There are still people who can replace the first two after the game. Durant's deterioration was bad, and the Thunder's offense was significantly weakened.

The scores of both sides continued to be widened. Barkley said: "The Thunder's inside line cannot be compared with the Clippers. They lost too much rebounding. Today Ibaka's performance is completely in line with the honor of the best defensive lineup. He has no choice but to do anything when he faces Ye Feng, and Durant is even worse. If he defends Ye Feng again, he will be sent off."

Kenny Smith sighed: "The Thunder have been paying for young people in the past few seasons, and now they have to pay for the bench depth is not enough."

Although Durant returned to the court in the fourth quarter, unfortunately the Thunder had missed the best offensive opportunity at this time. In the fourth quarter, Durant always had concerns when facing Ye Feng's defense due to a foul crisis. If the Thunder wants to win, the number of fouls must be controlled.

After 5 minutes in the fourth quarter, the Clippers led by 16 points. After that, Ye Feng broke through and caused Ibaka's fifth foul. The Thunder had to replace the defensive player and replace Collison. He also let Ross take a break from the court and replace Fisher. Ross almost kept playing on the court and needed a rest.

The Clippers immediately replaced Tony Allen and replaced young player Isaiah Thomas Thomas showed their power as soon as they came on the court. He had a clear speed advantage against Fisher. He successfully broke through several times, disrupting the Thunder's defense. Fisher is too old and is always overtaken in one step. Ross took less than 3 minutes off the court. The Clippers seized Fisher's weakness and attacked hard, widening the gap to more than 20 points in one fell swoop.

The last 4 minutes turned into garbage time again, and Thunder was sure to lose.
