Chapter 88

The game continues.

Hughes made a breakthrough pass to Thomas and scored an easy layup. The Wizards broke the scoring drought.

87: 75.

Knights attack.

James broke through to attract double-teams and passed to Kapono.

Hughes defended Kapono, and Kapono immediately passed to Ye Feng who was open, and Dixon rushed forward to defend.

Ye Feng didn't care at all, he jumped up and shot.

However, Dixon moved very fast, and unexpectedly hit Ye Feng's hand at the end.

The referee blew his whistle, it was a three-point foul, and there were three free throws.

Ye Feng walked to the free throw line and made three free throws steadily.

The score of the two teams became 87:78, and Ye Feng's personal score reached 21 points, successfully breaking the shackles of 20 points.

Ye Feng scored the Cavaliers' first 8 points in the fourth quarter, setting a personal scoring record.

But the fourth quarter has just begun.

In the commentary room, after praying that Ye Feng would not make a free throw, Charlie Rosen was already sweating, shrank behind his seat, and stopped talking.

He really wants to leave now, but in the Verizon Center Arena with nearly [-] fans, the commentary room is in a very conspicuous place. If he leaves now, the fans will definitely find out, and it will be even more embarrassing.

Wanting to walk but unable to walk, wanting to sit still unable to sit still, Charlie Rosen was like an ant on fire, battered and restless.

Eddie Jordan made another substitution and went straight to the fourth starter plus Thomas (Laettner left).

Kwame Brown, Thomas, Hayes, Hughes, Arenas.

He was terrified, he couldn't even imagine if the Cavaliers made a comeback from the Jedi again!
On the Cavaliers side, Paul also made small-scale substitutions and made new tactical arrangements.

Ilgauskas, Mim, Darius, James, Ye Feng.

At the critical moment, Paul put Davis on the bench. Davis was very dissatisfied, but Paul ignored him at all.

The Wizards attacked, Arenas singled Ye Feng, and missed a fadeaway jumper after the confrontation.

Today Arenas relies too much on long-range shots, but the stability of long-range shots is very difficult to guarantee. His luck seems to have run out in the first three quarters.

Of course, this has something to do with Ye Feng's change in defensive style.

During the timeout, Paul asked Ye Feng to avoid confrontation as much as possible, but rely on his wingspan to block Arenas' eyes or shoot.

To be honest, Ye Feng's 200cm wingspan can't be compared with Wade and Rondo, but it can be considered outstanding among guards.

(Wade's wingspan is 211 cm, Rondo's is 213 cm (inaccurate data), and Harden's is 210 cm. This is the known wingspan monster among the three guards.)
But Arenas is also a monster with a wingspan of 207 centimeters.

So Ye Feng simply gave up blocking the basketball, but blocked Arenas' eyes.It now appears that this choice is correct.

To be honest, Ye Feng really couldn't understand how Arenas fell to the second round of the draft.

In terms of talent alone, Arenas is tall enough to play the No. 1 position, strong enough, fast, good bounce, amazing wingspan, and super fast shooting speed.

There simply isn't a 1 in the league who can block Arenas' shots. Among the No. 2 positions, there are only a handful of players who can limit Arenas.At least Kobe Bryant couldn't.

Arenas' career-high 60 points was scored against Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles.

If you want to defend Arenas, more depends on Arenas' own state.

Mim took off the backboard and gave it to Ye Feng. Ye Feng spread his legs and ran wildly.

Before the Wizards were fully settled, they started to attack. This is also Paul's tactical arrangement.

Kwame Brown's performance in this game is so good that he can always hinder the Cavaliers' breakthrough. Ilgauskas can't beat Brown. Retreat in time.

The four big men on both sides are relatively slow, and the frontcourt has almost become a three-on-three outside line.

When Ye Feng arrived at the frontcourt, James and Darius also followed.

Ye Feng directly hit the ground and passed the ball to James who had accelerated.

The Wizards' defense has not yet fully settled, and there is no inside defense, so they can't stop James at all.

James only dribbled one step outside the three-point line, rushed into the two divisions, and directly held the ball for a three-step layup and rushed to the basket. That formation was like a rampant high-speed tank.

Hayes and Hughes just didn't stop them. Hughes even reached out to pull James' arm, but it didn't affect James at all.

In the last step, James flew straight into the air and dunked the ball into the basket.

Bang!
beep~
At the same time as the goal was scored, the referee's whistle blew, 2+1.

(After the three-step layup is started, even if fouled, another goal is still valid, as long as the offensive team's actions are coherent.)
After that, James made a free throw and successfully hit a three-pointer.

87: 81.

The Washington fans were a little confused and even forgot to boo.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers' two rookies teamed up to play a wave of 11:2, narrowing the point difference to 6 points.

At this moment, James has 23 points and Ye Feng has 21 points.

Eddie Jordan jumped up from the bench, not caring about his gentlemanly demeanor, and roared while holding the tactical board.

"Defense! Give me a little toughness and play like a man. James' breakthrough, you have to hug me even if you hug him. As for Arenas, you should mainly defend Ye Feng's shot."

Looking back, Arenas passed the ball after the breakthrough and helped Kwame Brown complete the alley-oop. Although Ilgauskas saw it, he was powerless.

He really can't handle a black guy like Kwame Brown.

89: 81.

Knights attack,

James broke through without saying a word.

Kwame Brown guards the basket and wants to give James another hot pot meal.

But this time, James carried Brown directly and forced the ball into the basket.

Instead, Kwame Brown was hit by James, fell to the ground in embarrassment, and fell to the ground.

James hung on the basket with one hand, looked down at Kwame Brown, and shouted with the other hand: "You can't guard me, you can't guard me!"

This is finally revenge for being blocked by Brown in the opening game!
Who says James has no temper?Who says James doesn't hold grudges?Every superstar is vengeful.

Kwame Brown's eyes were a little confused, feeling overwhelmed.His psychological quality is really not good, no wonder he was crippled by Jordan's scolding.

This was shocked by James' overbearing aura.

In fact, to be honest, James is definitely not as strong as Kwame Brown now.

But James is in a charging state, and his impact has a bonus.Kwame Brown stood in a reasonable collision zone, did not dare to pounce forward, and could only take off vertically, which allowed James to win the air confrontation.

(In the reasonable collision zone, the defender will not foul if he jumps vertically. If he jumps forward or moves, he will be called a defensive foul.)
And this goal severely hit the morale of the Wizards, especially Kwame Brown, whose state directly dropped sharply.

At this moment, the score between the two sides is 89:83, James has 25 points and Ye Feng has 21 points.
