Chapter 530 [The hungry wolf acts as a blue-collar? A single rebound in double figures! 】
After the game, many basketball celebrities convinced Ye Feng. Carl Malone said: "The only one who can play such super data in the playoffs is Ye Feng. His performance is directly related to the outcome of the game. I am optimistic that the Clippers will advance to the finals."
"Zen Master" Jackson also gave a high evaluation. "I am optimistic that the Clippers will win the championship again, Ye Feng will be able to play a role at a critical moment, and he is the best star."
O'Neal said: "To be honest, after leaving Josh. Smith and Curry last summer, I thought the Clippers were in trouble. Love was still injured in the playoffs, and I thought it was difficult to win the championship... But after the Clippers beat the Mavericks away, I changed their view. They are still the best team, and Ye Feng is a person who can make ordinary teammates stronger."
Barkley said: "I think the only disadvantage for the Clippers now is that the Heat players have been resting for several days. No matter how the Clippers arrange their troops, the Heat have time to conduct research and wait for work."
The Hots players led by James, Wade and Bosh directly posted a match with the Clippers, saying they were waiting for them.
Everyone thinks that the Clippers will advance, which is a big blow to the Mavericks. Although Cuban said he is optimistic about the Mavericks in an interview, it is difficult to convince people, and even some Mavericks fans are discouraged in advance.
Playing on the court is the best chance for the Mavericks to advance, but they lost 18 points and the team's morale has also weakened.
On the evening of the 28th, Staples Center.
A reporter interviewed the fans' opinions before the game. Everyone was full of confidence in the Clippers' promotion, and many people hoped that Ye Feng could win 50+ again.
On the 50+ playoffs ranking, Michael Jordan stands out for all the best with 8 times. Chamberlain has 4 times and Iverson has 3 times. Ye Feng has won the most 50+ playoffs in active duty. He has 4 times, tied Chamberlain. If there is another 50+, he will enjoy the second place in history. Nowitzki, the main player of the Mavericks, also performed 50+ in the playoffs, but only once.
Before the game started, Ye Feng's goal highlights were displayed on the big screen of the stadium. In the past six years since he entered the league, his experience has been fantastic. As a regular visitor to the top five goals, his highlights are very attractive.
As soon as Ye Feng appeared, the audience shouted MVP, and other players also received warm applause. The Clippers beat the Mavericks in morale.
The Clippers' lineup was sent with Paul Gasol, Perry Jones, Ye Feng, Harrison Barnes, and Cork Hinrich.
The Mavericks' lineup has not been adjusted. DeAndrew Jordan, Dirk Nowitzki, Sean Marion, Vince Carter, Deron Williams.
Ye Feng was not in a hurry to attack. Sinrich dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Perry Jones who was pulled to the outside line. Jones took the ball at the 60-degree angle on the right, and Ye Feng reached the low post on the right. Sinrich ran to the bottom line on the right. The three formed a triangle.
Jones is on the periphery, Marion is too short to defend, and Nowitzki must fight Ye Feng at the low post, so it is uncomfortable. In order to avoid Ye Fengshen from reaching the basket, Marion is on the periphery, Jones is on the periphery, and Nowitzki is on the low post to defend. Nowitzki's goal is to defend the bottom line, and if Ye Feng goes in the middle, Marion will let Jones go to double-team.
Jones hung the ball to Ye Feng, and Ye Feng drove it on his back twice. Marion moved. He passed the ball out of the outside line. Jones took the ball without hesitation. Not to mention the open position, even if someone defended, his height would not be easily blocked. Today Thibodeau asked the two young players to shoot more on the periphery. It doesn't matter if they don't make it, but they dare to take action.
The shot was slightly off and the frame was bounced out, and the rebound was taken by Nowitzki.
The Mavericks attacked the position, and the Clippers used 32 joint defenses. However, Jones followed the defense, and Ye Feng was responsible for protecting the basket and fighting for rebounds in the No. 4 position. This arrangement will allow Ye Feng to play his ability to assist in the defense of blocks and also be able to switch to pick-and-rolls in time.
Delong organized an offense on the outside. After several passes, the ball was handed over to the low post Nowitzki singled Gasol. His turn and jump shot was disturbed by Gasol and missed, and the rebound was obtained by Ye Feng.
The Clippers were not in a hurry to fight back. Ye Feng protected the basketball and left it to Sinrich to play a positional battle. After arriving in the frontcourt, he still had the same tactics. Jones received the ball from the right outside and hung it to Ye Feng in the low post. Ye Feng attracted the defense and passed it out of the outside line. Jones was still very determined for the second time, but unfortunately he turned it apart again.
Just when fans were sorry for Jones' failure to make two consecutive shots, Ye Feng stuck Nowitzki and grabbed the frontcourt rebound! The coach's arrangement was to make the outside shot, so after Ye Feng passed the ball, he focused all his attention on the rebound. Marion went to defend Jones, Jordan Jr. followed Gasol G., and there was no protection at the basket.
Ye Feng immediately forced his jump, and the air pull rod avoided Nowitzki's block and scored! 2 to 0.
The Mavericks attacked, Delong used the screen to break through and was blocked by Ye Feng. He did not stop and immediately split the outside line. Carter received the ball and singled Harrison. After dribbling under his crotch twice, he also missed the jump shot. Ye Feng returned to the inside in time to protect the backcourt rebound. Gasol, the Big Brother, stopped Jordan and did not let him jump up, and Ye Feng would be easy to get the rebound.
The Clippers attacked. This time Ye Feng arrived at the left position. Hinrich passed the ball to Harrison and ran to the left baseline. The three of them formed a triangle. Jones felt bad, so Harrison changed to the other side to pass the ball. After Ye Feng received the ball at the low post, he took a step and attracted Carter to double-team and passed the ball out.
Harrison was very comfortable to catch the ball and had a height advantage, but he didn't make any open three-pointers. The performance of the two new players made fans feel uncomfortable. But Thibodeau arranged their shots and allowed them to use the number of shots to find the feel, just because he believed that the Clippers had the advantage in rebounds. The two Mavericks averaged less than 8 rebounds per game in the interior and did not know how to grab rebounds.
This time Ye Feng was stuck at the position by Nowitzki, and Gasol did not catch the rebound. With his height and wingspan, he transferred the ball out of the outside with one hand in the competition with Jordan Jr., and Jones grabbed the ball with his height advantage. At this time, Ye Feng ran backwards and received Jones' pass from the three-point line.
He took a step out of the three-point line and paused, giving people the illusion of turning around and shooting. In the last game, he made several three-pointers in this way. Marion hurriedly chased after him. Ye Feng observed the position with the light of his eyes. After pausing, he immediately turned around in the middle and passed Marion. Jordan Jordan was making up for defense at the basket, and Ye Feng chose to make a quick throw shot.
Jordan Jr. jumped very high, and Ye Feng threw the ball higher. He almost didn't jump, and he kept his feet. After taking action, he immediately flew past Jordan Jr. and got stuck in the position. Jumping high is Jordan Jr.'s advantage and disadvantage. He loves to jump too much and has too strong ability to stagnate the air. He can only watch how his opponent moves.
This throw missed, the ball bounced back from the front, and Ye Feng got the rebound again, and he easily made a basketball with one hand. 4 to 0.
The Clippers grabbed frontcourt rebounds in a row at the beginning, which is not good news for the Mavericks. In addition to scoring, rebounds are the most important data, and controlling rebounds can control the game.
When the Mavericks attacked, Deron and Nowitzki played pick-and-roll cooperation on the outside, and after breaking through, they handed it to Nowitzki. The latter faced Hinrich and forced a jump shot from the left three-point line, and then went out.
Nowitzki doesn't feel good. If he loses this game, as the team leader, he will definitely have to bear the greatest responsibility and be under great pressure. He has led the Mavericks for many years and was unable to win the championship in the playoffs. Although Cuban has always supported him, some fans have been disappointed with him, believing that Deron is the Mavericks' number one core and that kind of play can't lead the team to win.
Nowitzki's shooting percentage this year is only 45%, which doesn't look like the inside, which seems to confirm this more. He can't afford to lose in this game, and this mentality affects his feel.
Gasol, the Grand Prix, stuck Jordan Jr., and Ye Feng easily won the backcourt rebound.
ESPN live broadcast game, commentator "Magic" Johnson sighed: "It's amazing. Ye Feng grabbed 5 rebounds at the beginning of this game and had two frontcourt rebounds. He is in very good shape today."
Van Gundy smiled and said, "Ye Feng is in good condition, and the Mavericks are going to be in trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gasol, the Clippers' side, had already taken a pass from Ye Feng, and he also made a fuss. The touch of other Clippers' players was also unsatisfactory.
Both sides' offense and defense conversion rhythms were neither fast, so they landed in positions and used joint defense. It was not until three minutes that the Mavericks made the first goal with a jump shot from Marion. In the 7th game, neither side dared to be careless and attached great importance to defense.
Jones has little experience, so Thibodeau arranged for Ye Feng to guard the basket. He is very efficient at the No. 4 position. Not only did he give Carter, who was preparing to dunk after the breakthrough, he also grabbed 8 rebounds in just 7 minutes.
The Mavericks requested a timeout and replaced the defender Collison to strengthen the offense. Carter, who had a poor shooting touch, was replaced. In addition, he replaced the inside Jordan and Chris Carman. In the last game, the Clippers used the shark-cutting tactic to send Jordan Jr. The Clippers' fouls have also reached four times in this game. In order to prevent it, the Mavericks made a substitution in advance.
When Kaman comes on the court, the Mavericks' ability to withdraw from the inside will improve. Kaman lives up to expectations and hits a mid-range shot when he comes on the court. He was once an old Clippers player, but he was booed by fans when he appears. Now he gets the ball, booed again. Amid the boo, Kaman also bears psychological pressure. His second shot after the pick-and-roll misses and the rebound is obtained by Ye Feng again.
When the Clippers attacked, Ye Feng asked for the ball at the low post, Harrison lifted the ball in. This time, Marion did not double-team in time, and Ye Feng immediately chose to attack. He dribbled the ball and turned around quickly to the middle. Instead, he did not take the "Golden Rooster" jump shot, but instead beat Nowitzki to jump forward and jumped one-handed shot. Nowitzki turned slowly, afraid of being fouled, so he did not jump, but just raised his hand to interfere. Ye Feng used the ball a little more force, but did not make it, and bounced back from the front. He then took the second jump and made a tip-in, giving the advantage of his bounce speed to the extreme. Although Nowitzki got stuck, Ye Feng still hit the basketball and moved it into the basket.
After this offense, Ye Feng's rebounds in a single quarter were already in double digits!!!
