This is the confidence of a shooter with a 40% three-point shooting rate.
Durant actually only gave Hamilton half a spot. If he was focused, he could have provided strong interference, but the opponent was too decisive.
Yu Fei watched the retreating Hamilton and thought of the Lakers’ bench, still with Mike Miller and Eddie House… By the standards of small ball (three-pointers + space), the Lakers’ shooter resources were just too good.
If Hamilton wasn’t accurate, they could let Miller come on, and if Miller wasn’t either, they could still try House.
It’s rare for three sharpshooters to go cold at the same time.
However, one could also see that because of their pursuit of space, the Lakers excessively allocated team resources to shooters.
This left them without enough space to acquire strong, robust, full-sized wings.
As a contemporary epitome of a star-studded team, Yu Fei was very clear about one thing. No matter how great a shooter was, if the opponent reduced rotation times, increased defensive intensity and toughness, and only gave you half a spot to shoot from, how many shooters could seize the opportunity like Hamilton just did?
Yu Fei didn’t think his team’s Moro was reliable in that state, even for Hamilton, a 36% shooting accuracy in that situation was already surprisingly accurate.
Therefore, the Lakers’ excessively rich shooter resources might seem despairing but could also lead them into a pitfall.
The premise is, they couldn’t be allowed to play easy games.
There’s nothing on the basketball court more shy and frail than shooters.
Once the situation eased up and they could shoot without psychological burden, the accuracy was unimaginable; this is why the small ball Golden State Warriors often swept away opponents with aggressive strikes right after their inception.
“Kevin, don’t relax too much.”
Yu Fei said, “Put some pressure on.”
Durant hummed softly.
Then, Yu Fei passed the ball to Moro, letting him take it across half court.
Moro dribbled cautiously, just past half court when he saw Yu Fei making hand signals.
Suddenly, Yu Fei provided a screen for Moro in the front court, an unconventional combination that momentarily confused the Lakers.
James didn’t realize right away. Yu Fei suddenly turned back, cut inside, and Moro tossed the ball into the air. What followed were exclamations from the entire audience.
They hadn’t expected Yu Fei to shake off James in a flash, dash under the basket, pick off the ball in midair with a cool, no-dead-angle posture, and slam it directly into the hoop.
“BOOM!!!”
“A wimp who can be distracted on defense, no wonder he’s not in the top five for the MVP vote.”
Yu Fei’s casual trash talk unexpectedly struck a chord in James’s heart.
The Emperor started to heat up. Why had he fallen to this point? Why? He blamed no one but Yu Fei. Had it not been for Yu Fei, had it not been for this man pushing him to a dead end, he wouldn’t have made that decision, he wouldn’t have left Cleveland.
The whole world said he had no reason to leave there, and he thought so too. Yet he left anyway because if he couldn’t defeat Yu Fei, nothing else he did would matter.
The only way to defeat Yu Fei was worth it.
Now, he had no way out, and was this mastermind still here making nonchalant remarks?
Yu Fei returned to the backcourt, utterly unaware that he was carrying so much sin.
He saw James coming up with an ugly expression while dribbling and thought to himself…
Could someone really get upset over a casual remark he made?
Wasn’t he speaking the truth?
Oh right, it’s the era of social media now.
Known as the era when “telling the truth is seen as slander.”
