.     Chapter 189

Ye Feng scored consecutively with the main attack, Kobe was a little impatient. He stepped forward to assist in defense, and Morro hit the first shot steadily.

On the offensive end, Kobe also started to play singles. The Clippers focused on taking care of him in the first few games. Today, Dorell Wright defended alone. If he didn't attack, it would be unreasonable. Kobe dribbled the ball under his crotch and dribbled the ball to the low post, stopped the 45-degree jump shot, missed the cricket, 8-2.

When the Clippers arrived at the frontcourt, Ye Feng asked for the ball at the low post again, and took two steps to the inside line with his back guard, turned to the bottom line, and Ariza let go of Wright from the bottom corner to assist in defense. Wright shouted "3", meaning that the third position was empty. Ye Feng immediately turned halfway and passed the ball.

It was too late for Ariza to return to defense and block the block. Wright made a jump shot and hit the Clippers' second three-pointer in this game. 11-2.

The Clippers' outside line opened, which is what Xibe wants to see. Once the outside line is opened, the Lakers will not be able to double-team Ye Feng.

"Whoever is optimistic about your own people, how do you defend? Defense!" Kobe shouted at his teammates.

Odom really wanted to shout at Kobe: "With a high salary of 20 million, why don't you come to guard against him? It's amazing to be with a marginal salary who can't get the ball!"

These games have always been Odom defending Ye Feng, which is a difficult task. Kobe defended only by the Clippers blue-collar workers. Odom was a little overwhelmed in this game, and he could see that Ye Feng was in good condition today.

After 6 minutes of the first quarter, Ye Feng took the ball and hit Odom with his back, turned to the bottom line, Odom followed the defense, blocked the block at the basket. Ye Feng did not dunk, and squeezed Odom to jump up under the basket, causing Odom to commit a second foul.

In order to deal with the Lakers, Ye Feng did not hesitate to abstain from the game and tried his best to do so. Now he has put all his energy into Odom...

After making both free throws, Ye Feng scored 10 points and sent two assists. The Clippers led 18-12. If you want Ye Feng to exert all his power, you have to send a pitcher to prevent the opponent from double-teaming. If you double-teaming, you will pass the teammates to shoot. With him, you will attract defense and others will be much easier to play.

Josh Smith is a waste to play as a substitute, but it is indeed more suitable for substitutes. Without Ye Feng, he can control the ball and exert his power on the offensive end. Thibodeau believes that he can win this game. The Clippers found another way to defeat the enemy. Odom was in the game, and the Lakers were tight inside, so Bynum was sent.

Ye Feng faced off with his friends. At this time, the Lakers had become man-to-man, and the joint defense was not used. The Clippers had to defend against three-pointers, whether it was 32 or 122, there would be gaps in both corners. Chalmos also got an open position and made a phone call, but unfortunately he failed to make a shot.

If people are targeting others, Bynum has to defend Ye Feng. Jackson also thinks it is not suitable, but there is no better candidate in the inside.

Kobe turned around and made a jump shot from behind, 18-14.

The Clippers attacked, Ye Feng took the ball and pulled out, paused for a while and suddenly turned to the bottom line. With just one move, Bynum did not follow. Ye Feng broke into the basket and dunked the ball backhand to return to the color. 20 to 14.

When Kobe saw that his opponent was Wright, he started to shoot wildly from the outside, and his shooting percentage was pretty good. Fisher and Ariza also made test shots, and both were out of the way. The Clippers changed the lineup and had a greater effect than expected. The Lakers, who believed that they had an advantage in the outside, gave up the inside offense and began to shoot birds.

Gasol wanted to grab the frontcourt rebounds by Love, but he could only rely on luck. Ye Feng also grabbed many backcourt rebounds. He pulled Bynum out of the basket twice in a row one-on-one and broke through and scored. The Lakers had to let Ariza and Bynum join forces to restrict Ye Feng in the second half of the first quarter. As soon as they double-teamed, Ye Feng passed the ball to the outside without hesitation. The Clippers hit 4 three-pointers in the first quarter.

The Lakers' offense also had problems, because Kobe's singles, other players stood up and waited for the opportunity, lacking empty cuts and pulling positions like the first game. At this time, the Lakers' offense became Kobe's singles game.

Kobe scored 16 points in a single quarter, but Ye Feng was even more eye-catching, scoring 14 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and was heading towards a triple-double. The Clippers led 37-31.

In the second quarter, the Lakers were still the substitutes in the first three games, but the Clippers were Gott, Hayes, Smith, Barnes, and Barria.

Gasol Jr. was able to bully McGee with his physique, but he couldn't stand Hayes. He missed two consecutive shots, and Bynum failed to get a bargain on Gotat. The Lakers couldn't open the inside, and it was even more difficult to score on the outside. Only Baria was the protective weakness, Shannon and Brown were not a master of scoring points. On the offensive end, Smith and Baria supported the Clippers' offense, and Barnes suddenly shot a cold arrow on the outside and hit a three-pointer.

In the substitute lineup, Smith was in a state of ease. He used the Hawks to attack and scored continuously in the inside. In a short while, the score was widened to 14 points. Ye Feng could sit on the sidelines and cheer for his teammates easily.

On the offensive end, the Lakers have advantages in the inside. When defending, defending the big and small, it becomes a weakness. Smith and Barrea messed up the Lakers' inside. There are people in both lineups that can lead the offense.

The Lakers were not strong in the small forward and point guard last season, and there was no successful signing this season. In Ye Feng's previous life, the Rockets vs. Lakers lost Yao Ming's Rockets, relying on Brooks and Artest's performance, still defeated the Lakers twice, dragging the game into Game 7. The Lakers are not invincible, and have obvious weaknesses. In this game, the Clippers began to grasp these weaknesses.

Jackson knew it was going to be trouble, but there was no way to remedy it. The Lakers' five inside players, only Odom was fast. If Mben added, the offensive end would be empty. Now he missed Turiav who was released to save salary space before the start of the season. If the "Butterfight" was there, Ye Feng and Smith would not be so arrogant. It would be too late to think about it now.

Smith and Ye Feng were on the court together, one plus one was less than two on the offensive end, and the problem of overlapping positions was solved. Thibodeau thought that in the future, Smith would let him play as the substitute and let him be the best sixth man, it depends on whether he agreed.

When the Lakers saw that the momentum was wrong, they replaced Paul Gasol and Kobe in advance in the second quarter, replacing Vujasic and Bynum with the intention of strengthening the offense. Thibodeau did not rush to send Ye Feng on the field. Now with Smith, Barnes and Hayes, the defensive ability is stronger than the starting lineup.

Paul Gasol had three games in a row, but his touch was not good today. He missed three consecutive shots against Hayes. After the two core players came on the court, they not only did not recover the score, but were seized by the Clippers to counterattack, widening the score to 16 points.

Barrea relied on pick-and-roll to attack the Lakers' inside line, fearing speed guards, which was also the lifeblood of the Lakers. Shannon Brown could not make up for this flaw.

Ye Feng has now recovered his confidence. Barria is no worse than Brooks. The two are of the same type. Smith and Ye Feng are both better than Bathir and Artest on the front line. The Rockets can beat this Lakers in their previous life, and of course the Clippers can do it too. Are the Lakers really that scary? As long as they don’t follow their rhythm and grasp the offense well, the Clippers can also play pleasing games. Tony Allen, who started in the previous few games, has now become a marginal person and has been sitting on the bench.

Ye Feng did not play, and seeing that the Clippers played so well as Kobe was anxious. Barnes and Hayes together restricted Kobe, and Smith could help defenders at any time from the side, and joined forces with three-pointers like the first game to limit Kobe's offense.

Kobe made a shot and passed it to Walton twice. He didn't make any shots at the open space, so he was so angry that he cursed. Walton was a typical high salary and low energy this season, and he was almost ruined.

Seeing that the Lakers' offense was blocked, Thibodeau was not in a hurry to substitution. He played in the second quarter until three minutes left, and replaced Ye Feng and others who had sufficient rest. At this time, the Lakers chased the gap to 12 points and replaced Odom and Ariza.

The Clippers continued to play triangular offense. The players pulled to the periphery to create a chance for Ye Feng to play singles. Odom came up this time and was a little overwhelmed and it was not easy for people to assist in defense from the side. Morro attracted Kobe to defend at 60 degrees on the outside, and Ariza followed Wright to the bottom corner. If he wanted to assist in defense, he could only be Kobe.

This was also deliberately arranged by Thibodeau. If Kobe didn't come up, Ye Feng would play unlimited singles. He would assist in defense and pass it to the outside line and make three-pointers. When he looked at the technical statistics, he would know that Kobe missed the person. He continued to stimulate Kobe while playing singles, and he would not feel comfortable on both offense and defense.

The whole team is targeted at one person, and Kobe faces almost this situation in every series. The Clippers just can find a way to limit his team.

Ye Feng took the ball and retreated. Odom was afraid of fouls and dared not stick it tightly. Ye Feng hit him in the first quarter and asked for physical contact to lead the inside line. He firmly hit the low post. After turning around this time, Ye Feng did not hesitate at all and pulled out his hand directly.

Ye Feng accurately grasped Odom's psychology. Odom jumped slowly when blocking, and made a 45-degree shot.

Kobe continued to play singles without cover on the outside, Wright, who had just been replaced on the court, and Ye Feng did not make up for defense. He followed Odom at the low post, waiting to grab the rebound. Kobe changed directions and dribbled the ball continuously, and made a jump shot at the emergency stop.

Kobe was singles in the next game, and Jackson didn't say anything. Gasol's touch was really bad today, and he only scored 8 points so far. There is still an advantage to let Kobe play against Wright.

As the second quarter approached, the Clippers' last attack, Ye Feng pulled the ball outside the three-point line to receive the ball, Ariza defended one by one, retreated into the penalty area for two steps, preventing breakouts but not shooting. Ye Feng spent three seconds at the top of the arc, and suddenly pulled out his hand from outside the three-point line, caught Ariza off guard.

He has been practicing top three-pointers in the team for several months, and he has achieved some success. He dares to shoot even though he goes far. In the regular season, Ye Feng only made three shots in total and hit one goal. He hit the buzzer with the first shot in the playoffs. 68 to 51, and the Clippers led by 17 points and ended the first half. Ye Feng scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and was close to a triple-double.

Luck also stood on the side of the Clippers. It was too difficult to see Ye Feng make a three-pointer.

Ye Feng chewed his teammates one by one to celebrate when he left the court, including Green, who was guarding the water dispenser, and he did not fall. As long as he continued to play like this and ensured the shooting percentage of the outside line, the Clippers would definitely win this game.

Jackson frowned. He didn't know how to arrange the tactics. Ye Feng's singles were too efficient in the inside. The Lakers had no one suitable for single defense in the inside. Odom was no longer an opponent.
