Chapter 547 [Full firepower]
In the last two games, Ye Feng's offensive efficiency is not high, with a score of about 30 points and a shooting percentage of less than 50%. It is the Heat's double-team and close-fitting defense that plays a role. James is a star who focuses on offense, but in order to deal with Ye Feng, he is willing to become a blue-collar outside line, close-fitting and not let Ye Feng catch the ball comfortably.
To allow Ye Feng to successfully attack the ball, in addition to double screening in the frontcourt, another way is to let him receive the ball in the backcourt. After the timeout, the Gasol brothers appeared together, with Harrison Barnes and Matt Barnes on the outside, and Ye Feng arrived at the point guard position.
After the timeout, the Clippers attacked and James pressed in the backcourt. Ye Feng led the ball through half and passed it to Barnes, who lowered the post and singled out for Gasol Jr. Delham Porter, and turned around and missed the shot. Turning back, the Heat gave the Clippers a heavy blow, Wade made a three-pointer, widening the gap to 27 points.
Three-point shooting has never been Wade's strength, but this goal is very stable, and fans can't bear to watch it anymore.
Ye Feng had received instructions and could take infinite action. He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and stretched out his finger to call a secret code to his teammates. Gasol came out to cover and blocked James. Ye Feng did not lead the inside. He jumped up behind Gasol and pulled out a three-pointer with the cover. He used the cover to avoid the blocking ball between James and Dalemport! He returned a three-pointer.
The Heat attacked, Wade missed a jump shot, and the rebound was obtained by Gasol Jr. The Gasol brothers both have an advantage in height and almost completely occupy the penalty area. In order to defend the inside, Bosh averaged 42 minutes per game in this series, and Dalem Porter gained a lot of playing time.
The ball was brought to the frontcourt, Gasol Jr. pulled out to cover, Ye Feng chose to break through with the ball from the left, Dalemport replaced defense, Ye Feng did not make any fake moves, dribbled the ball and moved out of his position, jumped over Dalemport and jumped to throw the ball. Ye Feng had already scored 20 points, but the Clippers were still behind by as many as 22 points.
"We can catch up! Defensive!" Ye Feng shouted at his teammates while returning to defense.
James is also the Heat's point guard, dribbling the ball through the half. Wade received the ball and played pick-and-roll with Bosh on the left. The Clippers defended in the joint defense, and Gasol blocked Wade's breakthrough route, and Wade made a jump shot. The ball went off again. During this period, Wade's shooting percentage began to decline, and the rebound was obtained by Gasol Jr. In the match against Dalemport, Gasol Jr. had the upper hand.
When he first entered the league, Gasol Jr. was at the end of the second round. He was a marginal player in the Lakers, and no one took him seriously. Later, he transferred to the Grizzlies. In a short period of time, people only felt that he deserved a middle class, not better than Gott and McGee. Now Gasol Jr. has become the inside pillar of the Clippers. His performance in the finals is not inferior to his brother. Today, except Ye Feng, the person who performed the best is him. Ye Feng led the half to Harrison, and the latter was to Gasol Jr. who was low and ran to the bottom line. Ye Feng was 60 degrees, and the three formed a triangle.
Gasol Jr.'s winning goal was also very strong. He believed that he could deal with Dalemport. His opponent was old and the Rockets did not play well in the Kings. He moved to the inside line with his back. After resisting Dalemport turned around and hit the board, he added two more points. The Clippers were only 20 points away.
James dribbled the ball through the half, relied on Bosh's cover to break through and pass the ball to Ray Allen on the outside. The latter was targeted by Harrison and passed it to Bosh without a chance to make a phone call.
The five Clippers were more than two meters tall, and they were not at a disadvantage in misaligned defense shooting. Bosh dribbled the ball and wanted to break into the inside, but Ye Feng blocked his way and passed the ball to James. Gasol was close to him to prevent James from accelerating his rush to the basket. It was time to come. James jumped up and shot without shaking his defense. Although he avoided Gasol's block in an ugly leaning posture, he could hardly see the basket under interference and shot. The rebound was obtained by Gasol Jr.
The Clippers finally had a tendency to chase points. In the next round, Ye Feng turned around and jumped but made a shot.
The Heat attacked. They still played the positional battle without any haste. James controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Ye Feng defended alone. James only encountered double-teams when Delham Porter pulled out of the outside line, except for this. James relied on Bosh's cover to break through. Gasol's defense was in place. James shook lightly in the middle, then turned to the bottom line and jumped into the ball.
The Heat's offense is very powerful. If you can't defend it, the Clippers will not win. In the last three minutes, the Clippers' offense was good. Gasol Jr. successfully singled out Delham Porter twice, Ye Feng made two mid-range shots, and broke through and made a foul to get a free throw.
At the end of the half, the Clippers were 20 points behind 47 to 67. The situation was still very unfavorable to the Clippers.
When analyzing the game, Barkley sighed: "The Clippers are so much behind today, not just because Sauton is absent. The Heat's shooting is so good. The 58% shooting percentage is 44% of the Clippers. Moreover, the Clippers make many mistakes today, and Hinrich makes three mistakes by himself. Thibodeau no longer dares to use him anymore. It is estimated that Ye Feng will continue to play the point guard in the second half."
Kenny Smith said: "Isaiah Thomas was replaced after only 5 minutes. He was figured out by the Heat. If he came on the court, the Heat would keep running, pick-and-roll, and handing the ball to James or Bosh to him singles. The loophole is too obvious. Thomas is a good player, playing hard, but his physical fitness defects cannot be compensated."
On the other hand, "Magic" Johnson felt sorry for the Clippers. They had a great situation and were only one step away from the four consecutive championships. If they failed to win the field, they were at a disadvantage. Johnson didn't think the Clippers could catch up, unless the Heat's shooting percentage dropped in the second half, the Clippers had to ensure an offense.
In the second half, Thibodeau did not mean to let Thomas and Hinrich play, and Ye Feng continued to serve as point guard. The other four were the Gasol brothers, Harrison and Barnes.
Gasol Jr. had a lot of experience in playing Delham Porter. The Heat took the substitution. Parsons played the No. 3 position on the field, and James had to go to the inside to fight the person on the defensive end. James often did this kind of thing. Last year, the United States only brought three inside players, and James had to take on the inside defense. When he was playing against Spain, he fought against the Gasol brothers. At that time, the two brothers beat Love and Chandler.
The Heat attacked first, James dribbled the ball through the half, and passed it to Wade. Wade and Bosh pick-and-roll. Parsons also pulled out the outside line to cover Ray Allen. Wade dribbled through the ball and passed the ball. Ray Allen took the ball and took action. Gasol Jr. could only defend himself and moved slowly, giving Ray Allen a better chance to play the phone. But Ray Allen missed this goal. His feel was not very good today.
When he was at the Celtics, Ray Allen's form had already begun to decline. After entering the playoffs this year, he seemed to be just an ordinary role player and was not considered a giant. The rebound was obtained by Ye Feng. When the Gasol brothers were both defending him, he and Barnes had to take on the task of protecting the basket. In the first half, he not only scored 26 points, but also grabbed 5 rebounds and sent 3 assists.
The Clippers attacked, Ye Feng dribbled the ball through half the court, and the defender became Parsons. Parsons did not press in the frontcourt to prevent the Gasol brothers from covering in the backcourt. Ye Feng could dribble the ball and accelerate. If he passed the person who replaced the defense, it would be unfavorable to the Heat. It was Parsons' defense, and Ye Feng would not hang the ball into the low post. Barnes and Harrison pulled it apart, creating space for him to hold the ball.
Ye Feng dribbled the ball into the three-point line from the right, and Wade let Barnes go to make up for defense. Barnes felt too bad today, and Ye Feng had no confidence to pass it to him again. Ye Feng took the ball with both hands, and pretended to pass the ball, Wade paused. Because he was on his back, Parsons couldn't see clearly. Ye Feng then turned to the baseline and leaned back and jumped into the net, and the ball was hollowed into the net. This simple fake move struck two people.
49 to 67, the score difference narrowed to less than 20 points.
The Clippers players are all concerned about the defensive end. If the Heat plays another shot, they will definitely lose the game. James was stuck tightly by Ye Feng, and it was not easy to turn around, but chose to attack. He was at a disadvantage in the data today, and wanted to score a goal on Ye Feng's head to prove his strength. He led the way to the right, turned around and jumped out of the low post.
The rebound was won by Gasol Jr. Today he grabbed a lot of rebounds and had a physical advantage against all the Heat's inside players. Gasol was a little tired and he had to go out to defend Parsons.
After halftime, Gasol Jr. and Gasol G.E. G.E., who pulled the outside cover together, gave the low post to Barnes. Barnes shot from the outside unreliable and always scored goals at the basket. If he played Wade in a misplaced position, he would have the advantage of rebounding ability. This cover was rugby-like. In the regular season, the Clippers often played like this. The two brothers stood together to line up the walls, blocked their opponents, and created a mobile phone opportunity for Ye Feng.
This round, the two brothers completely blocked Parsons and James. If they wanted to block, they could only go around from the side. Ye Feng didn't care whether there was anyone grabbing the rebound or not, and he pulled out his hand as soon as the opportunity came out, flattened the curve and hit the back edge of the basket. 52 to 67.
There was still 15 points left. The fans shouted loudly and saw hope again.
When the Heat attacked, James controlled the rhythm and passed it to Wade. Wade and Bosh played pick-and-roll cooperation. The Clippers players were very close to defense and finally found the sense of defense. The players were scolded by Mahon, Mutombo and Thibodeau during the break, and the speed seemed to have increased faster.
Wade passed the ball to Bosh, and Bosh also missed the mid-range shot, and the Heat's shooting percentage dropped. The rebound was grabbed by Barnes and passed it quickly to Ye Feng. Ye Feng dribbled the ball over the half-time and returned to defense against James and Allen. He dribbled the ball twice and turned to the left. Seeing Harrison coming up, he stopped to get the ball and swung it towards Harrison. Ray Allen hurried to defend Harrison. James took a small step back. Unexpectedly, Ye Feng made a fake move and suddenly pulled the shot. James' reaction was quick, blocking his hand in his eyes, but not covering it. Ye Feng opened his firepower and hit the three-pointer again. This was Ye Feng's fourth three-pointer in this game. 55 to 67.
The Clippers scored an 8-0 shock wave, and the game was suspense again. (To be continued)
