The Clippers lost two consecutive games in Dallas, which made the Los Angeles fans panic. The fans were not sure and certain about the Clippers' advance to the finals. The Mavericks are really strong, and the advantages of No. 1 position and bench depth are clearly visible.

Ye Feng still didn't blame his teammates for his poor performance. He knew that it was useless to blame, but the Los Angeles media could no longer tolerate the role players of the Clippers. If the opponent's defense is very strict, it would be fine if he couldn't make a shot, but the Mavericks firmly tied up with Ye Feng, and many open shooting opportunities could not be grasped.

Whether Ye Feng makes a high move or low move, he loses the game, and the Clippers are in trouble. In fact, the Clippers played badly in the first game, and they just reversal with the final effort. Winning can make people ignore many things, but the problem has not been solved. After the end of this season, the Clippers' lineup will definitely be adjusted, and they will have a free place to sign rookies and free market big fish. The Pistons' high pick is also likely to get it. However, now, the Clippers can only rely on the residual formation to fight.

On May 23, Ye Feng returned to Los Angeles in the early morning and met Alice in the living room the next morning.

Alil asked, “How is you sleeping?”

"I've had a good sleep. I finally got home. The pressure was too great these days." Ye Feng smiled and sat down and poured a cup of coffee.

Seeing that his expression was normal and not very depressed, Alile was relieved and asked, "Do you think we can win?"

Ye Feng shook his head. "I don't know, it will definitely not be so easy to defend the title this year. Our only advantage is to have one more home court. The disadvantage is that there are too many new players and substitutes cannot play much role, so Harrison is still working. He has to make a big deal in the summer. Whether he can win is not determined by my personal ability, but also depends on the performance of others."

Alil smiled and said, "It seems you can see it very easily."

Ye Feng sighed lightly: "I will strive for victory, but if I can't win, I can accept it. No one can win forever, and it will be a matter of time before losing. Since I agreed to train new players, I was mentally prepared to bear these consequences."

On the court, you should focus on basketball and live a good life off the court. Ye Feng knows how to change his position and will not bring depression to his family. This mentality makes him more attentive on the court. He should look down on gains and losses and play happily. In the team, Thibodeau often says this.

After breakfast, Ye Feng went to see the child. After becoming a father, he began to feel that time passed very quickly.

Unlike the Clippers' adversity, the Eastern Conference Finals have already been decided. The Heat swept the Nets 4-0 at home and advanced first. They took the lead.

It was swept again, and it was also a "beast-cutting tactic", which broke the hearts of the Nets fans. Howard was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he had no star style at all, and he was more like a burden to the team. Whether he was the No. 1 center in the NBA also hit a big question mark. Bynum's free throw was not that bad.

The Heat's strength has increased sharply, and Ray Allen used three-pointers to help the team again and again, setting a new record of three-point shooting. He has booked a seat in the Hall of Fame. He is definitely one of the top 50 stars. His personal honors and three-pointers surpass the old three-pointers Reggie Miller. The Heat's Big Three will always perform stably, and they can score more than 60 points in a joint effort. Other players will play a little and win the game.

The Heat wait for the winners of the Clippers and Mavericks, and can watch the game and study opponents.

On the 24th, the Battle of Tianwang Mountain began! Los Angeles fans entered the court early and continued to dress in a uniform manner. The old broadcaster Ralph Basil led the fans to cheer, and the sound in the Staples Arena caught up with the airport.

In the locker room, Ye Feng found that the young players all had serious expressions, and obviously had heavy burdens on their backs.

After Thibodeau finished speaking the tactics, Ye Feng shouted: "Everyone, don't be nervous. Just treat this as an ordinary game and strive to perform at the best level. Even if you lose this game, it doesn't matter. We are not eliminated. I believe in everyone's strength. As long as it is a good opportunity, an opportunity for open space. Everyone should act boldly like during training, and don't hesitate!"

As the leader, it seems a bit alternative to saying that he doesn't care about the outcome of this key battle. Thibodeau gave Ye Feng a thumbs up in his heart. Mutombo, Mahon, and Hardaway also think he is doing very well. What young players need most now is to relieve stress. If you say something like "you must never lose", it will only backfire.

Ye Feng was the last to appear, accepted the applause from the fans, and listened to everyone shouting MVP.

Ye Feng took a deep breath and thought that he had 4 regular season MVPs. Even if he retired after playing this season, he would not lack any honors. In this case, there was no need to be nervous. All he had to do was to play happily with every remaining game.

At this time, Ye Feng was not unwilling to win, but just took the result in a light. Only by putting aside his desire to win and fear of losing can he perform perfectly. When he defeated the Celtics and the Heat won the championship, he was calm and calm.

Ye Feng smiled and greeted Nowitzki, Delon Williams, and seemed to be not concerned about the previous defeat at all, and was full of confidence. Just looking at his expression, the Mavericks felt that this game was not easy to play.

The Clippers sent a brand new starting lineup, Harrison played No. 2 on the court, and Ye Feng appeared in the point guard. The previous few games have proved that neither Thomas nor Hinrich were qualified starting point guards. Only Ye Feng played No. 1 can stop Delong and prevent him from easily organizing offense and scoring.

After the opening, the Clippers strengthened their defense, and Harrison tried his best to entangle Vince Carter Harrison's single defense ability, but lacked experience. Ye Feng believes that after the training of this season, he will get better and better. On the offensive end, the Gasol brothers began to pull out double covers, Gasol Big was on the side, Gasol Jr. was at the top of the arc, and Ye Feng could choose to play singles or pass the ball. At the beginning, the Mavericks continued to double-team, and Ye Feng passed the ball to the side, Harrison and Barnes showed full trust in his teammates.

Harrison missed the first shot, but the second time he changed to cut into the three-point line and made a mid-range shot. As long as his teammates opened, the game was much easier. At the beginning, the Clippers played very smoothly and quickly took a 7-point lead.

However, the Mavericks are not a fuel-saving lamp. Six minutes later, Carter was replaced and replaced with Darren Collison. The Mavericks sent out the double-guard tactic. This was very risky, but it was just relaxing the defense against Barnes, and the Mavericks dared to try. Their purpose was not to let Collison defend well, but to break through and attack.

Regardless of whether the Clippers compressed their defense or not, they also adopted a double pick-and-roll tactic, allowing Collison and Delon to misplace the Gasol brothers, with the purpose of causing the two brothers to foul. As long as the Gasol brothers are troubled by fouls, the Clippers' inside line will definitely not be able to withstand it, and the gap between the starting and the substitute is very big. If the two brothers are reluctant to defend in order to stay on the court, star defender Delon and Collison, a breakthrough expert, can also make the Clippers feel uncomfortable.

Before the end of the first quarter, Nowitzki pulled out the outside and made a three-pointer, and the two sides became a draw. Gasol was replaced twice in the 8th minute and 23rd, and replaced Perry Jones. Jones played very hard, but his ability was inferior after all. He couldn't defend Nowitzki.

The Clippers replaced Thackeray in the second quarter, Yi Jianlian, and the main players had to rest for a while. The offensive task was handed over to Marcus Thorton Hinrich as the substitute No. 1, and Thomas sat on the bench.

The Clippers compressed their defense and wanted to consolidate the inside, but it was hard to cook without a meal. Thibodeau could not practice the defensive ability of a group of new players in one season. Fortunately, Yi Jianlian did not suffer much loss in the matchup with Brand this time, and Thackeray could also resist Kaman, so the Mavericks did not seize the opportunity to open the score.

Thackeray's role is very critical. Although he does not have strong offensive ability and all qualities seem mediocre, he has a big heart and dares to fight and fight, which left a deep impression on people. The two sides continued to have a stalemate.

In the third quarter, the Mavericks also began to compress the defense, no longer double-team Ye Feng, but only let Marion defend alone and strictly prevent others. This series was arranged for the first time. The Mavericks suddenly changed the formation, and the Clippers immediately felt uncomfortable. After compressing the defense, Ye Feng's difficulty in breaking into the inside line was equivalent to diving into the crowd. Today, Ye Feng's shooting feel was not particularly good, and Mavericks head coach Carlisle saw this.

Marion prevented breakouts but not shots, forcing Ye Feng to shoot from the outside, and the Clippers fell into trouble again. Teammates could be misaligned. Harrison had a height advantage in playing Deron, but in a one-on-one situation, does Ye Feng also have to pass it to his teammates? So what is the difference between him and a blue-collar player?

Faced with this problem, Ye Feng chose to play hard. As long as he found the feel, he would be a good opportunity to catch up. Unfortunately, he did perform averagely in the third quarter, with 2 of 5 three-pointers and 2 of 5 mid-range shots. Although he also scored some points, this was not enough to defeat the Mavericks. The Mavericks' defense was great, and no one else could score. Ye Feng was in a single position. Ye Feng passed the ball, and his teammates were not very efficient one-on-one. The Clippers were 4 points behind and entered the fourth quarter.

The situation was getting worse and worse for the Clippers. At the critical moment, Nowitzki began to show his strength. His pursuit of victory was very strong, and almost a fire broke out in his eyes. Delon and Nowitzki, Ye Feng could only defend one, and the other could perform calmly, and his shooting was very firm.

Nowitzki scored 8 points in a row, causing Gasol to be substituted for the fifth foul, and the score difference widened to 10 points. The audience cheered loudly, and Ye Feng, who was extremely excited, was unable to stand up and turn the tide. He still lost 21 points in the final quarter. He was very clear about the importance of cooperation in this game, and he was consciously passing more balls to his teammates, but it was not possible.

In the last two minutes, the Clippers fell too much and had limited time. They started to bet on three points. After three consecutive shots, they had no chance to catch up. They lost the battle of Tianwangshan 96 to 108.

For the first time in four years, the Clippers are on the verge of being eliminated. (To be continued)
