Chapter 182: Take the initiative in the beginning

In the stadium, most fans cheered for the Lakers, calling Kobe's name. As expected before the game, fans prefer the Lakers, and some fans who also pay attention to the Clippers turned against each other, hoping that the Lakers can win the championship this season. Many people think that if the Clippers play well in the last game, they can completely avoid the Lakers and don't have to kill each other. The Clippers' first round encounter was all the fault of the Clippers.

In fact, even if the two teams are brothers, they are still in the relationship between Loki and Tuan...

Ye Feng had several celebrity fans, Adam Sandler, Hugh Jackman, Gabriela and others, who came to support the show, and Paris Hilton also supported the Clippers instead. Perhaps it was said that the remarks of helping Kobe have children were not responded, which hurt her self-esteem. It was normal for Kobe to not respond. Once a family member had something to do with her, she would be not far from being finished.

tn*t broadcast the game live, and at the same time, the focus of this game was also on TV stations from China Central Station 5, Europe, South America and other countries. Fans around the world are paying attention to this game. Ye Feng's provocation is too fierce, and people want to know the result of this series. There are two possibilities: one is that the Clippers were eliminated, and Ye Feng's pre-match declaration became a joke. He is likely to be regarded as a shameless and ungrateful person. The second is that the Clippers created the Black Eight miracle and defeated the Lakers in an upset to advance to the next round. As long as the Clippers win, Ye Feng will become the top superstar in the league. If the Lakers are black Eight, Kobe will be in trouble. The whole world knows that the Lakers are losing in a favorable situation. Not only will he bear the responsibility for losing, he will also be completely overwhelmed by Ye Feng and lose the position of Los Angeles' number one star.

To be able to comment on the scene, Charles Barkley was very excited today. He said with headphones: "Listen to the shouts here, most of them support the Lakers and Kobe. This round of series will set a new record no matter what. The Clippers' record of consecutive away games is just not sure whether they play 4 away games in a row or 7 away games."

Kenny Smith smiled and said, "The Lakers are the banner of Los Angeles. For decades, the Clippers have never received corresponding treatment. Even if they use the same stadium, the Lakers are also the owner of Staples. The Lakers cheered so enthusiastically when they appeared just now, and the Clippers players responded more casually."

Barkley smiled and said, "Ye Feng severely criticized Kobe in the interview, but he was not booed. This is rare. Los Angeles fans have already recognized him. But the nickname of 'Big Mouth' should be given to him, I have never been like this."

Smith smiled and said, "Ye Feng's performance this season is amazing. He is also on the list of candidates for the fastest-progress player and may be elected. This season he has completed a leap from rookie to the core of the team."

Barkley said seriously: "I appreciate this kid more and more now. He is the only one in the league who dares to say to the camera, of course I am strong, what is Kobe? With this, he has become stronger than many people. He is crazy and cruel enough!"

Smith smiled and said, "Didn't you dare to say that you were better than Jordan back then?"

"That's compared to Jordan. If I was playing in this era, the reporter would ask me what I would say, what Kobe is..." Barkley began to speak out again. This is his biggest feature and the reason why he is a commentator is popular.

The game was about to begin, players from both sides stood on the stadium, and the Clippers sent Love, Hayes, Smith, Ye Feng, Tony Allen Hayes to start the first playoffs, which was eye-catching.

On the Lakers side are Bynum, Gasol, Ariza, Kobe and Fisher.

Kobe and Smith stood together and glared at Ye Feng fiercely. He already knew the content of the pre-match interview. Ye Feng smiled slightly and asked, "Kobe, don't you match me?"

Kobe almost got mad. Other Lakers players also felt that Ye Feng was doing a bit too decisive, and he really did whatever he wanted to win.

With that interview, both of them had no way out and had to win. Kobe was under greater pressure. Kobe defended by Josh Smith, and Ye Feng handed over to Ariza. Jackson now believes more firmly in Ye Feng's intention to provoke, which is to anger Kobe, make him lose his calm judgment, and try his best to score, which will destroy the team's internal and external combination. This is the Clippers' way to win, and it is difficult for them to defend the Lakers' inside.

But Kobe didn't match Ye Feng, it seemed like he had retreated. Before the game started, the Lakers' momentum was weaker by three points.

The game began. Bynum won the basketball and the Lakers attacked first. When the frontcourt, Fisher passed the ball to Kobe. As soon as he received the ball, Ye Feng immediately approached. This was the method to reduce unnecessary consumption with Artest. It was impossible to stop Kobe from receiving the ball in the whole game. He had to save his energy and play the entire series. Kobe dribbled the ball horizontally, and the audience shouted to enter one, hoping that Kobe could suppress Ye Feng's arrogance, but Kobe passed the ball and gave it to Ariza on the right. The latter hung into the inside and handed it to Paul Gasol Hayes to defend behind Gasol.

The height of 215cm vs. 198cm, the seemingly disparity of the confrontation began. In fact, Gasol had a much headache against Hayes than playing Love. Hayes's only defensive weakness was height. Even O'Neal wanted to fight him and he had to work hard to fight him. If he wanted to break through, he could keep up with him even if he wanted to hit Hayes. He had almost only one jump shot. In the league, Hayes was most afraid of the people who were Nowitzki and Zach Randolph. The two of them had too accurate mid-range shots, and he could fight against the other insiders.

Gasol dribbled the ball twice, and the Clippers had no intention of double-teaming on the wing. Ye Feng followed Kobe Gasol on the outside and jumped, and the ball went off. Love got stuck in the inside and grabbed the backcourt rebound.

As soon as Love entered the inside, Ye Feng, Smith, Tony Allen immediately got off the ground, and Love passed it to Tony Allen, and started running and shooting three against three in the frontcourt. Relying on talent to play fast, he could not make any shots to grab the frontcourt rebounds, which was the Clippers' magic weapon to win. Ye Feng scored 82 points with this. This season, their frontcourt rebounds ranked third in the league, and the second in the league in shooting. The Warriors, who only attacked and almost never fell into the position, shot more than they did.

Allen passed to Ye Feng on the right, Ariza and the defense, and Ye Feng passed to Smith who was inserted in the middle. Smith was very powerful when running, and most of him relied on empty cuts to layups or dunks.

Kobe's health is not as good as Smith, he can't get stuck and cannot foul. Smith took the ball and took three steps to Kobe and made a basketball goal, 2-0.

The Lakers attacked, and they still played to the inside according to Jackson's arrangement. This time it was passed to Bynum. Bynum played Love on the left single, dribbling the ball and turned to the middle, and hooked the ball to shoot the basketball. 2-2.

His hook was personally coached by "Tian Gou" Jabbar, and his scoring ability has improved a little compared to last season, and he averaged 14.4 points per game.

Love concedes a little depressed, so he slapped the basketball hard. Allen shouted: "Don't care, just get stuck."

As soon as Allen dribbled the ball across the middle circle, he was pressed by the Lakers players, almost forcing him to make a mistake in passing. Ye Feng staggered and controlled the basketball.

The Lakers' pressing in the middle is very smart. After halftime, Allen passed the only option was to pass the front and no one could respond. If you pass it back, it would be a violation of the game. At the same time, Allen still has the possibility of dribbling the ball back. Ariza was close to him, Ye Feng turned around on the outside and stood still. Allen ran past him and handed the ball over.

Allen was very fast. He caught the ball and threw Fisher away and rushed into the three-point line. Ariza had to switch defense, and Ye Feng moved to the high position at the same time. Allen stopped and passed the ball back to the high position.

Misplaced attack, Fisher defended Ye Feng. 185cm vs. 205cm, a difference of 20cm, plus the wingspan, the big difference cannot be compensated. (Ye Feng has grown two centimeters in height and wingspan in the past two years)

He received the ball and pulled the jump shot! 4-2.

The Lakers are still attacking in a triangle. Gasol pulls to the high position to support him. Hayes defends. Gasol receives the ball with his back and holds the ball with his back, sends the ball out from over Hayes' head, and gives Kobe. Kobe plays Ye Feng alone at the low post.

In this game, Thibodeau did not arrange joint defense, but used the common all-game man-to-man tactics in the school to target the Lakers' offense. Triangular offense is to create singles opportunities for the stars, while the Clippers are single defense, and when they encounter pick-and-roll switches.

The best solution for defense is to oppress the opponent to shoot in an unfamiliar area. Kobe is very accurate in every position, which is his strength. If you defend him, you can't relax for a moment and you must try your best to block it.

Ye Feng is one step away from Kobe. If you try to beat someone else, Kobe can directly pull it off. Facing Ye Feng, he may be able to cover this distance. With this alone, Kobe is more uncomfortable than usual. The players are all pulled away. Kobe dribbled the ball with his left hand and led it to the middle. Ye Feng slid and moved gently, spread his arm, and maintained the distance. Kobe shook his left shoulder and took the ball to the right and changed direction, ready to break through the bottom line.

Kobe often uses this kind of breakthrough. Ye Feng started to observe when he was in the Lakers and watched a lot of videos. At this time, if the defender forcibly blocked the breakthrough line, as long as he had physical contact, he might call a blocking foul if he rubbed Kobe with a referee. So he did not block, but used the method of following, holding up one hand, following Kobe from the side, and following him to the basket.

The first thing to do is to follow closely when defending well. Kobe leaned into the basket and jumped up with his right hand. Ye Feng also jumped under the basket, preparing to block his shot with his left hand.

Kobe pulled the rod in the air, retracted his right hand and flew to the other side of the basket, avoided the cover and made a layup with his back hand, but another person flew out from the basket on the other side. Smith pressed the ball on the rebound with a big hat. Hayes turned from the high position in time and received the basketball and hugged it in his arms.

The whole game was quiet, and Kobe was blocked when he made the first move, and the fans were a little disappointed. Thibodeau arranged all the tactics against Kobe. It doesn't matter if Ariza scores, Kobe can't get an easy move. This is the goal of the Clippers. If Kobe passes the ball, the outside line will rely on round conversions. Fisher and Ariza can shoot, but neither can get high scores.

What's even more damage is that the main attack point arranged by Thibodeau at the beginning was not Ye Feng, but Smith, who Kobe was responsible for defense. When Ye Feng was injured, the Clippers arranged the Hawks' offensive tactics for Smith.

Ye Feng received the ball from the three-second zone outside the baseline, attracting Ariza to defend. Smith used Love's unball cover to throw away Kobe. As soon as he rushed, Ye Feng passed the ball over. Smith took the ball without stopping, and took big steps to avoid Gasol, who was replacing defense, and went to the basketball. 6-2.

The Clippers made all three shots, seizing the initiative in the start.
