Chapter 76 [Rotten Team]
Milicic beat Danpier by jumping the ball, Guy received the ball and passed it to Conley, and the Grizzlies launched an attack. Conley is one of the few classic point guards in the league. This classical lies in that he will never shoot or break through as long as he can pass the ball, although he has very good breakthrough ability.
As soon as he arrived at the frontcourt, Conley immediately handed the ball to his good friend, the man with "gay" printed on the back of the jersey! Guy used Milicic's pick-and-roll to throw away Howard, drove a step into the three-point line, and made a quick stop and jump shot. His movement was very beautiful, and he also avoided Nowitzki's block, but the ball went off.
At this time, Kwame Brown's character exploded and stuck Danpier. When he was pressed so hard that he could hardly jump, he grabbed a frontcourt rebound. He immediately stepped up with the layup, causing Danpier to foul.
Brown walked onto the free throw line tremblingly. Most young players reached their peak after playing in the league for a few years. Brown, who entered the league after graduating from high school, is an outlier. After playing for six seasons, he began to deteriorate in shooting. Especially free throws. His free throw percentage was 70% in the first season, but now it has dropped to 40%.
He looked at the basket in confusion, aimed for a while, and threw the ball in an extremely standard posture and made a blacksmith. The same was true for the second free throw, Nowitzki won the backcourt rebound. He missed two free throws at the beginning, as if he didn't make the ball in the air.
On the defensive end, Ye Feng followed Josh Howard Howard averaged 20 points, 7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1 steal per game, and played the best data in his career, and was very likely to be selected for the All-Star Game. But when Ye Feng came up, he felt a little numb. In the game against the Lakers, Ye Feng's defense impressed him. Under close defense, he couldn't turn around easily when he received the ball, and immediately passed it out and handed it to Devin Harris Harris into the inside line like a flash. Ye Feng turned around and chased him, very determined.
After Harris breaks through, shooting is often the first choice, and he will never look at Howard behind him. Facing Brown's backup defense, Harris calculated the distance and slowed down, took two small steps to prepare for a throwing shot. Ye Feng was quick-eyed and jumped from behind to block the ball.
Guy picked up the basketball and passed it to Conley to make a quick attack.
Howard quickly returned to defense, Conley had already obtained a single chance, but he was not confident enough, so he slowed down his speed and waited for his teammates to get in. This gave the Mavericks enough time to return to defense. After passing the ball several times, the Grizzlies could not pull out the gap. In the end, Guy barely pulled out his hand and made a blow. The Mavericks defended the 122 joint defense, completely compressing the defense line in the three-second zone, preventing breakouts but not shooting.
Ye Feng had no choice but to return to defense, and the Mavericks handed the ball to Nowitzki. Howard ran to Nowitzki for cover without the ball. Nowitzki understood the pass and blocked Ye Feng, assisting Howard to hit a mid-range shot. 0-2.
On the offensive end, Milicic singled Nowitzki, turned around and hooked up. Nowitzki used Golden Rooster** to the offensive end, and Milicic singled hit. 0 to 4.
The Grizzlies' offense continues to hit the iron...
After playing more than three minutes, Ye Feng made a high-level shot and missed the attack. The Grizzlies' offense was completely curbed. Gasol had been in charge before, and the Grizzlies scored 13 games, ranking 12th in the Western Conference. Although far from the playoffs, this result was already very good for them. Once Gasol left, the Grizzlies were not like a whole. The players could still play some cooperation during training, but when they arrived on the court, they played in a mess and took turns to catch the ball and go solo. The Lakers' triangular offense was also a personal single, but the success rate was much higher. The Grizzlies only hit a mid-range shot from Guy. The score was 2-9.
The Grizzlies lack people who can attack with the ball, and Guy is not yet a leader. His offensive methods are too single. In Ye Feng's previous life, Durant had almost no solution to the jump shot in the league. After winning the scoring in the third year, some people still questioned his playing style and said that he was difficult to become a big shot. It was not until he began to strengthen his breakthroughs and averaged more than 3 assists per game that he gained full recognition from people. It is impossible to shoot the opponent to death by shooting. To tear open the opponent's defense line, someone must break through.
Ye Feng is not skilled enough to dribble the ball, but his speed is very fast. As long as someone covers it, it is easy to start and throw away the defender in one step. This has been shown very clearly in training. In addition, his low-post offense is better than Guy. He needs the ball.
After defending the Mavericks' attack, Ye Feng rushed to Conley from a low post and shouted: "Give me the ball!"
Conley saw that Ye Feng's offense was high, and he hung the ball from the left side to him. Ye Feng was dislocated to Nowitzki. He dribbled back and turned around the face frame, lowered the center of gravity and handed the ball to the left hand, without any fake moves, dribbled the ball to the middle. The Mavericks knew that the Grizzlies lacked pitchers, and their defensive formation was 122 joint defense, compressed the defense on the three-second zone line. Ye Feng's fortune seemed to have caused himself to be double-teamed by four people. He stopped in the middle and pulled up and jumped. Nowitzki was already slow, and Danpier hurriedly rushed forward and jumped up to block.
Ye Feng threw the ball out with one hand, the parabola was very low, which was a "three-no-touch", but he did this on purpose. Milicic cut into the basket and received the ball, dunked into the basket with one hand. 4 to 9.
Ye Feng has already chosen a template for himself. The person he wants to imitate is LeBron James. James is already the strongest in the small forward position. He is strong in physique, sharp in breakthroughs, and extremely lethal. This pass was learned by Ye Feng watching James' game video. He attracted inside players to make up for defense and pass the basket, and shot if he couldn't attract him.
Milicic hit Ye Feng during the return defense. On the defensive end, Milicic defended Nowitzki with another jump shot. He was the second-tier show in 2003, with excellent talent, good movement ability, and height. Although he has lost his offense over the years, his defense is not bad.
Ye Feng stuck Danpier, protected the backcourt rebounds, and handed them over to Conley. Protecting the backcourt rebounds was not his job, so he also snatched them. He wanted to see what level he could play when he regarded data swiping as a task.
Running to the Mavericks' half, Ye Feng went to the low post on the right to ask for the ball, wanting to shoot one from Nowitzki's head, but Nowitzki went to find Milicic, and the one who defended Ye Feng turned into Danpier.
With Danpier's tonnage, it is definitely not possible to squeeze hard, but his speed is very slow and his weakness is obvious. After receiving the ball, Ye Feng relied on Danpier to move a step forward. Without waiting for the Mavericks to compress the defense, the ball was turned to the bottom line with his left hand. There was only one gap in the bottom line. Ye Feng passed Danpier with his speed and successfully broke through. He took the ball with one hand and started three steps backhand dunks. 6 to 9.
After the misaligned attack, Ye Feng began to find a feeling, but it was far from enough to beat the Mavericks. They still need to find a way to defend themselves.
Harris dribbled the ball and broke through to the inside after covering the cover. Kwame Brown failed to switch defense in time. Harris rushed into the inside and layup like he stepped on the Hot Wheels. 6 to 11. Ye Feng would not have multiple clones, and could not guard against 5 people. He could only sing like a song: he watched you, but could not be powerful, and let you disappear at the end of the world...
Guy's jump shot missed again, the Mavericks grabbed the rebound and counterattacked quickly, Harris dribbled the ball through the half, and forced a layup under Conley's close defense. 6-13.
Ye Feng turned around and hit a hook shot. 8 to 13. But when he turned around, Howard relied on cover to make two points. 8 to 15. The Grizzlies couldn't catch up with the score, and they were full of loopholes on the defensive end.
The problem is that Kwame Brown, he didn't care about making up for defense at all, just stretched out his hand and turned around to get a position to grab rebounds. Ye Feng knew that he was going to fight for data and sacrificing the team's defense to grab rebounds.
On the basketball court, defense is as important as offense. The reason why Ye Feng received higher evaluations than Durant is because of his defense. Zach Randolph scored 20+10 every year, but it is a recognized data brush and is also because he does not pay attention to defense.
When Ye Feng received the ball at the low post for the fourth time, the Mavericks took action. George and Danpier began to double-team him. Danpier defended the baseline and gave it to George in the middle. Ye Feng's height disadvantage was revealed, and he was hit hard and could hardly see the basket. He had to pass the ball out of the three-point line. Conley missed the jump shot from the outside. The rebound was taken by Nowitzki again.
Conley's shooting is very poor, and three-pointers are even less trustworthy. Now the Grizzlies have the most accurate three-pointers on the field, Guy is actually Guy. With a shooting percentage of 35%. Without a pitcher, the Grizzlies cannot break the Mavericks' joint defense at all. The Grizzlies' seemingly promising youth lineup is not the Mavericks' enemy in one quarter. There is one minute left in the first quarter, and they are 16 points behind 18-34.
Ye Feng now realized how terrible it is to play in a bad team. He couldn't help but miss his Lakers teammates. He didn't expect to win anymore, so he just used it as a practice and ran to the outside of the three-point line to catch the ball and practice breakthrough. He dribbled the ball with Brown's cover, and took off Howard, stepped on the free throw line and pulled the ball up with a big step, turned around and passed Nowitzki, who was making up for defense, entered the inside line, and jumped up with the trend. Danpier made a pull-up move in the air, and the ball crossed his right hand to avoid the cover and scored a layup. 20-34.
Such goals made the audience lit up, and Ye Feng rarely played like this. He was very skilled in training in training, but rarely used it in the game. He was ready to practice turning and break through and pull-up layups as his own tricks.
