458. It Feels So Good To Lie Down And Win

But for the rest of the league, the Lakers playing like this is the last thing they want to see.

No matter how good you are Ye Fei, you are only one person after all. The Celtics have proved that the Lakers can be defeated by the whole body, which can limit Ye Fei's performance. But if the Lakers also play as a whole, how do you let other teams defend?

The Clippers are undoubtedly the team with the worst experience. They will have to play against Ye Fei in the next game. If they lose to the Lakers, they will only be ranked fifth. They faced either the Thunder or the Lakers in the first round, but no matter which team they wanted to face.

Several times in the regular season, the Clippers are at a disadvantage.

But no matter what, they can't escape.

The big victory in the last game made the Lakers full of confidence. In this game, they are even more motivated.

On April 7, the two sides fought again at the Staples Center Arena.

Consistent with the starting lineup of the previous game, the two teams did not make any adjustments. Stephen replaced the injured Clarkson and served as the starting shooting guard again. In the last game, he performed well, scoring 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. But for him, it was obviously not enough. He wanted to prove his worth in front of his old club.

After the start of the game, the Clippers did not adopt the defensive strategy of the previous game, but used Jordan to defend Ye Fei. Griffin helps defend, and he can make up for it.

The Clippers played aggressively from the beginning, they double-teamed when they came up, and did not give Ye Fei a chance to easily take the ball.

But in the last game, the Lakers players have proved that as long as they are given a chance, they will definitely make a decisive move.

Anyone who has a chance will come, but after the opening, the Lakers players don't feel good.

Missed a few shots, but it's not a big problem. With Ye Fei on the rebound, they just need to shoot.

Ye Fei didn't put in too much energy on the offensive end, but put a lot of pressure on the opponent on the defensive end.

With him stationed inside, Paul's mid-range killer can't be used at all. He has always used the pick-and-roll to make small shots and big shots, but in front of Ye Fei, he dare not make a shot easily.

Who knows when Ye Fei rushed over and gave himself a slap in the face.

Ye Fei's miraculous steal made him hard to guard against. And Ye Fei waited inside, Jordan couldn't get any cake at all, and Griffin could only pull outside to shoot.

Therefore, even if the Lakers played a mediocre offense, the Clippers failed to open the score.

The stalemate continued for half a quarter, and someone from the Lakers finally stood up, not Ye Fei, nor Rondo, who made 4 of 6 three-pointers in the previous game, but Stephenson.

He passed the cover of his teammates twice in a row, found an opportunity to face Paul, used his height to beat Paul, broke through the basket and caused damage, scored 8 points in a row, and helped the Lakers widen the gap.

As long as the Lakers have one player besides Ye Fei, then Belgium will become very easy to play.

Stephenson went to the basket, forcing Jordan and Griffin to defend, and Stephenson couldn't play so easily.

But once they defended the past, Ye Fei's pressure on the inside became less. After rushing to the basket, he handed the ball to Ye Fei, which was another easy scoring opportunity. It is helpless.

What made them even more helpless was that after they chose to shrink the defensive line, the Lakers had more outside opportunities. Casspi seized the opportunity and scored two three-pointers in a row.

A series of attacks directly tore up the Clippers' defense, and they didn't know how to defend the Lakers.

Rivers has a strong head, just shrinking the inside line and not giving Ye Fei an easy chance to score. Outside, you can shoot the three-pointer as you want, and you can defend it if you can defend it.

But their defensive strategy didn't work at all.

In this game, there is no need for Ye Fei to make a move on the offensive end. Everyone contributes, and the game is directly overwhelmed.

From the end of the first quarter until the end of the game, the Clippers were chasing points.

Their offense in this game is much better than the previous one. They also scored from outside and from inside from time to time. They can also play fast break occasionally, but they still can't beat the Lakers.

Because they couldn't defend against the Lakers' offense, if they defended the inside line they missed the outside line, and if they followed the outside line they missed the inside line. It feels like being led by the nose by the Lakers, and when the rest of you are on guard, you will find that there is Ye Fei, a super monster, who even hits you a few times and beats you out of your temper.

...asking for flowers...

So in the end the Clippers still lost the game, but it was a little better than the last loss.

With a score of 96 to 106, a ten-point difference, and another loss to the Lakers, they are already firmly occupying the fifth position, and they have no chance to surpass the Lakers and Thunder in front.

In this game, Ye Fei didn't have a strong sense of presence on the offensive end. He only scored 30 points, but he only took 14 shots, and his offensive efficiency can be described as extremely efficient.

However, his performance on the court is as invincible and comprehensive as ever.

Scoring 30 points, 22 rebounds, 13 assists, 8 blocks and 7 steals is another ferocious quasi-five-double stat, but Ye Fei who hits this kind of stats is extremely easy and effortless. If in the past, he had to show at least 80% of his strength in a game to get this kind of data, in this game, he probably didn't even show half of his strength.

Therefore, in an interview, Ye Fei’s opinion on winning is: “It feels good. I never thought it would be so good to lie down and win. My teammates are very good. I hope they will continue to be so good in the future. Then I You can lie down for a few more games."

Compared with the previous games, Ye Fei really won this game.

In every game before, if Ye Fei didn't score more than ten or twenty points at the last moment, he had no chance to win at all. And the whole game was very uncomfortable, but it can be seen in this game that Ye Fei played very relaxed and freehand, and his cooperation with Stephenson several times made the fans dazzled and enjoyable.

They almost forgot how long ago Ye Fei was as good as Stephenson.

Like Ye Fei, they all hope that they can lie down and win a few more games.

But the next few games were not so easy for the Lakers.

Except for the Pelicans, the remaining three opponents are all strong teams in the West competing for a place in the playoffs, and one of them is a key battle against the Thunder for the top three. .
