The schedule of the playoffs is much denser than that of the regular season. After losing the fifth game, before taking much rest, the Blazers took a special plane to Houston again.This time Ye Feng also accompanied him, but on the plane he purposely switched seats with Bayless and sat next to Batum.Of course, Ye Feng is not sure whether McMillan will continue to start with Batum. Even if Outlaw is activated, it doesn't matter. Just improve a little bit, after all, it's too late to grind your guns quickly.
Although Batum is a Frenchman, he speaks English fairly fluently, and he doesn't have the kind of accent that makes people vomit blood.He was a little surprised that Ye Feng changed his position and sat next to him, but he quickly returned to a tense state, he was afraid that he would not perform well.Ye Feng shook his head secretly, and said to him in a low voice: "Nicholas, why are you nervous? Isn't it just playing a game? You haven't played few games in France?"
Batum looked up at him, and said helplessly: "French basketball is not the same as the NBA, or the entire European basketball is not the same as the NBA. I'm not afraid of your jokes, although I played so many games in the regular season time, but the defense I encountered after the start of the last game really scared me. I never thought that the Rockets players were chasing me like wolves and biting desperately. I was scared. This is not the same as the regular season. At the same level. I don't know if the coach will let me continue to start, but I really don't know how to deal with those guys, especially at their home court."
Ye Feng's expression became serious, he organized his words, and said slowly: "I don't know what you think about my role on the court, but I think you should understand that with Brandon and LaMarcus What do they do when they play together. In fact, these are very simple, hit the shot, run empty-handed, share the task of organizing the offense, if you play, Brandon must have the consciousness to share more, as long as you believe in yourself ...I'm sitting on the sideline, I'm in a rush, I'm in a rush, but I can't get up there and play, and the team has to rely on you instead of Travis, because you're the same guy as me in terms of style of play .”
Batum stared blankly at Ye Feng, thinking that this guy was out of his mind, and he was his competitor in a certain sense, how could he guide his competitor just because he disagreed?Shouldn't it be watching his own jokes and then waiting for the coach to put him in the cold?Ye Feng didn't know that this guy had such thoughts, otherwise he would definitely be thrown from the plane.I came to help you solve the problem with good intentions, and you thought my head was broken?Who is this?For Ye Feng, it is better than anything else for the team to win this round of the series. He will not care who the coach uses to start. Anyway, it is either Batum or Outlaw. The two styles of players mean the strength of the team. Two tactical systems, but Batum played more like himself.
McMillan clearly saw the two guys who were talking and talking. He didn't know what the two of them were discussing, but the sudden realization on Batum's face made him guess a little bit, and the corner of his mouth showed a hint of something. No smile.Originally, he planned to use Outlaw as the team's starting small forward, but now he decided to give Batum half a quarter, maybe he has learned something from Ye Feng.Moreover, the time in half a quarter is not too long, which can test Batum's level without being knocked down by the Rockets.
This time in Houston, Ye Feng was sitting alone on the visiting team's bench ahead of time, looking bored at the fans who came in one after another to find their seats.The Rockets came early, and when Ye Feng sat down, they were still warming up before the game. Yao Ming saw him coming, and casually tossed the ball to the assistant coach, and walked over with a big towel to wipe off his sweat. He asked with concern: "Is your ankle better? Although I feel relieved seeing you not playing this game, I don't want to see a junior start to suffer from injuries at a young age."
Ye Feng laughed and said: "Brother Yao, there is nothing wrong with my ankle, but you are about to run into trouble soon. Of course I will not be able to play in this match, but I am very confident that we will win this time." , the specific reason... Hahaha, do you think I will tell you?" Yao Ming laughed and said, "That's your secret, it's not convenient for me to inquire, but do you really have such strong confidence? I think we will You are sure to win, you just wait for the tiebreaker!" Ye Feng smiled and shook his head, without explaining, he just said: "Of course you can see the truth in the game, Brother Yao, just play hard."
Yao Ming was very puzzled, but when the game officially started, the doubt disappeared and turned into surprise. This was not because the Blazers stubbornly used their No. 88 Batum, but because this guy had already kept up with the game. It's different.Yao Ming remembered that Batum was defended by Artest in the last game. He didn't have the strength to fight against a monster like Artest, but this time he always relied on screens to get rid of him. The defender, then catches the ball, and then decides whether to attack or distribute the ball to his teammates based on the situation on the field.
Ye Feng off the field finally breathed a sigh of relief, this is a smart person who knows what is his advantage to rely on.If you want to defeat a difficult enemy, the best way is to hide your weaknesses, and then use your strengths to fight against the opponent. If you lose in this way, then there is nothing to say.Batum's strength is not as good as Ye Feng's. Playing guerrilla warfare is undoubtedly a very wise thing. Seeing him galloping around on the field, making a mess of everything, McMillan smiled triumphantly off the field, He never mentioned the idea that he only planned to let Batum play half a quarter first.
Batum's enlightenment undoubtedly reduced the difficulty of this game. The data of 18 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in the game was much better than the previous game. Thanks to his great assistance in organization, Roy scored After scoring a game-high 27 points, Adelaide also scored a double-double. The Blazers killed the Rockets without bloodshed, and completely ended the competition for this round of the series.Seeing Yao Ming's puzzled and unwilling expression, Ye Feng wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Originally, the Rockets didn't meet their old rival Jazz in this year's playoffs, which made all the Houston fans excited. In the end, another team from the Northwest Division ended their wish. It is not known whether Houston will be full of resentment against the entire Northwest Division in the future.
