Chapter 321 [Hungry Wolf guest point guard, the Clippers reverse the Nets! 】

After several attacks, the Nets changed their playing style and began to exert force on the outside. Harris and constantly used breakthroughs to attack the Clippers' defense line... Ye Feng's pick-and-roll defense is not omnipotent. Wright and Kidd have problems with defense. Harris can pass Wright without relying on cover.

The Nets also continued to strictly guard against Ye Feng, compressed defense, and allowed outside players to shoot. Kidd's condition was in a sluggish state today, missed repeatedly, and Love also missed twice. There were 3 minutes left in the third quarter, and the Clippers were behind 72-78.

Thibodeau requested a timeout and replaced Kidd and Yi Jianlian. After scoring 5 points, Yi Jianlian never played again. The Clippers' offense was very difficult and they had to make adjustments. Especially in the No. 1 position, Tony Allen can still defend the Nets on the court, and his long-range shot ability is not as good as Kidd.

Thibodeau thought for a long time and finally made up his mind. He asked, "Ye, if you were asked to play point guard, can you stabilize the rhythm?"

Ye Feng often fights against defenders when training in the team. Hardaway's training method is to let him control the ball while pressing two people. He can protect the basketball when facing double-teams and persist for a while. One-on-one control is not a problem. However, he has never tried to attack in the backcourt. He thought for a while and said with a smile: "I have no problem, do you have to use your height advantage to defeat them?"

Thibodeau nodded and said seriously: "Yes, take advantage of height. Ye directly attacked on the outside. Josh played on the third position and was responsible for the cover of the outside. Masin and Kevin went to the low post to attract defense and were responsible for grabbing the frontcourt rebounds. Dorrell, pay attention to the empty cut and run, and shoot three-pointers if there is a chance on the outside. When defending, Josh stared at Harris at No. 2, Ye was against Wall, so don't make them too arrogant. Pay attention to changing positions when defending the pick-and-roll."

Love, Gott, Smith, Wright, and Ye Feng are all over two meters tall. Lopez, Scola, Ariza, Harris, and Wall are playing on the Nets.

Seeing the Clippers' players playing, everyone on the Nets were stunned, and the two espn commentators were also very surprised.

Van Gundy smiled and said, "The Clippers' players on the field don't have a point guard. It seems that Ye Feng is really going to control the ball. He passes the ball better than Tony Allen, and he is not bad at dribbling. Now the five tall players of the Clippers are on the court together. Wright also played the No. 4 position when he was in the Heat. He is 20gcm tall, which is really rare."

"Magic" Johnson has always supported the Lakers, but he also likes to watch Gao Da play point guards and smiles: "The next game will be a test for Wall. He will face Ye Feng."

At the beginning of the game, Ye Feng controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Wall felt a little nervous. Ye Feng was half a head taller than him, and he was too strong... He stepped forward to steal, but Ye Feng hit him with his back twice. Wall was hit and Ye Feng stopped, and Ye Feng turned around and broke through and threw him behind him.

Ye Feng reached the top of the arc and no one made up for defense. Gotat and Love attracted the defense at the low post. Ye Feng did not lead the inside and directly pulled out a three-pointer. Wall chased from behind and didn't have time to jump, Ye Feng had already taken action.

It is too difficult to cover Ye Feng with Wall's height, but Ye Feng did not raise the curve of the shooting and shot a low flat ball. This is calculated. The distance between the low flat ball pops up is relatively far, and the two low-post insiders are easier to grab the frontcourt rebounds. Even if the inside of the Nets is stuck, it is not worry-free.

This ball hit directly.75 to 78.

"Little General" Johnson's expression was serious and he felt that it was a bad thing. The Clippers' lineup had an absolute height advantage and it was difficult for the Nets to defend. If Ariza was asked to defend Ye Feng, it would still be difficult for Smith to attack. He was also a quasi-star player. This lineup was too vicious.

On the defensive end, the Clippers' defense has not yet had loopholes. Ye Feng can keep up with Wall's speed, and Smith's defense will not be easily passed. They were selected for the first and first defensive teams last season, and the second team's single defense skills are unquestionable.

After pick-and-roll change, Gotat came out, and one of Ye Feng and Smith immediately retreated to the inside. The Clippers' joint defense was stronger than the first half. They were responsible for retracement, and the effect was much better than Yi Jianlian, Kidd and others. Both of them were good at making up for defense and blocking.

Wall was defended by Ye Feng closely, and he dribbled the ball for more than five seconds but did not find a gap to break through. The speed advantage was not obvious. Ye Feng was one step away from him. He wanted to stop and jump shot. As soon as he jumped up, Ye Feng immediately jumped forward and instantly smoothed the distance. Wall knew that a strong shot would be blocked and passed the ball out of the air.

In the end, the Nets passed the ball to the inside and handed it to Lopez to a single. Lopez averaged only more than 30 points per game, and it is rare for him to get angry and score more than 35 points. The defense of Gotat, Love and others is not "coupled". Lopez was resisted by Gotat outside the penalty area, and turned around and jumped off again.

Love won the backcourt rebound, Ye Feng and Smith went out to make a fast break. Love passed the long pass to Ye Feng, and Ye Feng passed Smith again, who made a single Harris easily scored the basketball. Harris' defensive ability was average, but it was too bad to be misplaced.

77 to 78. The Clippers sounded the horn of counterattack.

"Little General" Johnson requested a substitution, and Oterlow came on the court to replace Harris, and Ariza reached the No. 2 position. After several passes on the Nets' offense, Ariza made a jumper from the outside, with a good chance, but a blacksmith. Love won the backcourt rebound again, and the rebound in this game was crazy.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "The Nets substitution is very timely this time. Harris and Wall must have one person. If Smith and Harris face each other, how to play will be there."

"Magician" Johnson smiled and said, "Even if the substitution is made, the Clippers still have an advantage, and Wall cannot defend Ye Feng."

Needless to say, fans can see that Wall cannot defend Ye Feng. Ye Feng dribbled the ball over the half-court, and Wall did not dare to defend himself, but Ye Feng leaned on him and took the initiative to seek physical confrontation.

As soon as he hits, Wall will lose his center of gravity. Ye Feng immediately turns around and speeds up. He reaches the top of the arc again. Ye Feng stops quickly and takes the ball with both hands and lifts it up. Wall catches up from behind and jumps with all his strength to block the block.

Wall has good physical fitness and jumps very high. Maybe he can really hit Ye Feng, but he jumped too early, and Ye Feng just pretended to be a feint. Seeing Wall jumping up, Ye Feng jumped up towards him again. The two collided in the air. At the same time, Ye Feng pushed the ball out with one hand with his right hand, and the three-pointer was shot into the trap!

Wall couldn't even hide, so he was hit and sat on the ground. The referee blew his whistle and blew Wall's foul. Ye Feng scored 31!

"You still have to learn." Ye Feng smiled at Wall. After saying that, he stood on the free throw line, slapped two shots, made a light shot, and made a free throw. 81 to 78. The Clippers overtook 3 points.

The home audience stood up and applauded, and the situation began to reverse, and the ball was very morale.

The Nets' core was unable to do it. Wall took the ball to the frontcourt and couldn't raise the courage to fight Ye Feng alone. In this game, he had not been too far off with Ye Feng one-on-one, and he was defended several times of shooting. Shooting was not Wall's strength, and it was too dangerous to break into the inside as usual. Even Kobe was blocked by Ye Feng countless times, let alone him? Outside players in the league were a choice against Ye Feng, and they avoided playing.

Wall took the ball to Ariza, who then hung it to Lopez in the low post. The Clippers blocked the inside line, and the Clippers did not double-team, allowing Gotat to defend alone.

Gott was not playing much today and was full of energy, but Lopez was a little tired. He couldn't stand Gott, turned around and missed the jump shot, and the rebound was taken by Love again.

This time the Clippers fell into the positional battle. After shooting, Nets players even gave up grabbing the frontcourt rebounds and immediately returned to defend. This also shows that they lack confidence. How can they win if they only play on the outside?

The person who defended Ye Feng became Ariza, and Wall went to defend Wright. Ye Feng still steadily carried the ball through the half and called out "Dorel!"

Wright immediately understood what he meant and mentioned that the 60-degree angle cover on the right side blocked Ariza. Ye Feng drove the ball to the right and squeezed Wall back to lead it in. This was not playing ball, but almost made fun of bullying.

Ariza bypassed Wright and Wall to double-team Ye Feng. Wright ran to the top of the arc. Ye Feng attracted the defense and passed the ball over. Wright received the ball at an open position and hit a three-pointer again! 84 to 78.

The pitcher can easily regain his touch at a certain period of time and will not be inaccurate. The Clippers have several consecutive three-pointers to widen the score, and then neither side scored again, ending the third quarter.

Jeff Van Gundy smiled and said, "As soon as Ye Feng arrived at the point guard position, the score was widened. Could this be his most suitable role? He chose the wrong one before?"

"Magician" Johnson smiled and said, "I think he is not weak in any position. I have said before that he is under 210cm tall, and there is almost no one he cannot defend against. If you want to defend Ye Feng, you must have height, strength, and fast enough to meet these three conditions. As soon as he entered the league, it was difficult to defend against him by relying on his body. Now he is still improving. This season, he often uses his footsteps to shake his opponent away and shoot easily, which makes his offense better.

Van Gundy agrees with this statement. "Ye Feng also has a shooting method practiced with a trampoline, which has made him score a lot of 21. Sometimes when playing is rising, he will also perform. The Clippers have not played against the Heat this season, but I feel that Ye Feng is better than James. James still rarely attacks with his back and at a low post this season, mainly relying on breakthroughs, and Ye Feng's offensive tricks are increasing. What do you think the Nets will use to make adjustments?"

"Magician" Johnson smiled: "I think the Nets are sure to lose, and no matter how they adjust, their forward line is not strong enough, and the Clippers' momentum has also risen."

The "Magician" predicted well. In the fourth quarter, the Nets failed to take the lead again. Although Scola and Lopez scored some points, they could not defend against the Clippers' offense. The Nets' current lineup is flawed, especially in the forward line, Ariza is their best forward.

When the Nets defended alone, Ye Feng made a single shot. When the joint defense was made, the Clippers used their height advantage to shoot three-pointers from the outside. Ye Feng made two more long shots in the fourth quarter, and the three-pointer in the game set a new record for his single three-pointer. The Clippers won 111-100.
