The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 102 [Training Camp Suffering]

老K教练对梦8队的发挥非常满意。詹姆斯得到22分7篮板6助攻，表现最为抢眼。在詹姆斯的防守下叶锋6投1中只得到4分4篮板。他唯一运动战得分是空切扣篮，另外两分是罚球获得。

Judging from the statistics, Ye Feng was undoubtedly blown away.But in normal games, he never got the ball at all, and 5 shots were forced shots when the attack time was approaching.His level of offense with the ball is already poor. When no one is picking and rolling, he is facing James again. The difficulty can be imagined.Players under 205cm will feel uncomfortable as long as they are targeted by James.On the defensive end, Ye Feng was facing off against James on the surface, but after the pick-and-roll, he switched to defending an inside player, which made him even more aggrieved.This is not Los Angeles. Coach McHale wants to treat him as a blue-collar envoy, so he can only be dumb and eat coptis, unable to speak out.

Love's data is also very miserable, with 2 points, 3 rebounds and 4 fouls. He only played 9 minutes in total.His poor performance on the field is not reflected in the data. McHale insisted on arranging him to attack in the low post. Due to the slow return to defense, the Dream 8 team played fast break dunks many times.

The food in the training camp was good, but they were not allowed to go out to the casino to relax. Ye Feng practiced shooting for two hours by himself at night before resting.

The next morning is free training. There are six ball racks in the training ground, and players can choose to practice freely.Several rookies got together to play 3VS3, and Wade was discussing skills with Mayo.Love challenged Howard to one-on-one, and staged a floor-flow VS Superman.

Ye Feng found veteran Kidd, hoping that Kidd could teach him something.

Kidd's state can no longer be compared with when he was young. The Dream 8 team still called him into the team, hoping that he can help the team with experience.The dream team has a "Kidd's Law", which means that Kidd will win all the international competitions he participates in.

In the game, Kidd didn't have much effect on the offensive end, but his defense was still strong.From 1999 to 2007, he has entered the league's best defensive team consecutively, 4 times in the first team and 5 times in the second team.He uses his body to entangle, his timing is in place, and he is also very good at steals. He is not only a master of man-to-man defense, but also a perfect team defender. The foundation for the Dream 8 team to launch a fast break.

In the last game, Kidd stole Stuckey twice and Rose once.He can become a starter not only as a spiritual leader, but if you look at the overall defense, he is more reliable than Paul and Deron.

Kidd asked with a smile: "I'm a point guard, why did you come to me? If you play a swingman, wouldn't it be better to ask Kobe to teach you?"

Ye Feng immediately waved to Kobe not far away, "Hey, Kobe, can you teach me some tricks? I have many shortcomings in playing outside."

Kobe glanced at him and turned his head blankly.

Ye Feng looked at Kidd again, and said with a smile: "How is it?"

Kidd: "..."

It was impossible for Kobe to teach Ye Feng. When the Grizzlies played against the Lakers last season, Kobe discovered that Ye Feng's perimeter defense was all based on him, and in turn used it all on him.Now teaching Ye Feng offensive skills is equivalent to setting up a strong enemy for himself.Ye Feng understood Kobe's mentality very well, if Kidd hadn't said it, he wouldn't even ask.

Ye Feng also didn't want to ask James for advice, he regarded James as his ultimate goal to defeat.James has been chatting with Bosh, and it is estimated that he has no time to talk to him.

In the team, Kidd is relatively easy to talk about, and he is also the most seasoned in the team.

Kidd was ashamed to refuse, and had a one-on-one fight with Ye Feng for a while, but the result was unexpected, making Ye Feng feel ashamed and want to commit suicide.Under Kidd's defense, he can hardly enter the penalty area. Kidd always has a way to entangle him, blocking his first step from accelerating, so that he can't break through, and can only force a jump shot.He may be able to play Kidd with his back to the low post, but if he does so, he is not asking for advice, but looking for trouble.

After playing for 10 minutes, Kidd stopped to pick up the basketball and said with a smile: "You are really like the experts said, relying entirely on your body to play. This is really not good. Your style of play is not lethal enough. You must maintain offensive efficiency. You have to be close to the basket, low post and no height, I think you should also realize this problem."

Ye Feng nodded and said: "Yes. When I was in the Lakers, the opponents had to guard against Kobe, so I could get more shooting opportunities. But in the Grizzlies, I couldn't break through the zone defense. Although I can score goals with dry shots, the shooting percentage is very low. I don't want to play like that. I'm not as good as Durant on the jumper, so what's the solution?"

Kidd smiled and said: "Your physical fitness can be compared with James, you might as well imitate his style of play, that is the best template for you. What you have to do is to practice breakthroughs and shooting. I see your low attack Yes, the offensive end is better at using strength than him, which is your advantage. He needs to practice his back, and you are just the opposite."

Ye Feng scratched his head and said helplessly: "I've already imitated him, but I can't imitate him. How can I assist like him? Is there any secret to passing the ball?"

Kidd is an expert in passing the ball, but there is no secret to it. He said seriously: "As long as the ball is used to attack, the swingman can easily form an assist. As long as he breaks through and attracts supplementary defense, he can pass to the open space. The thinking is very clear. , You don’t need to have a strong overall view and pass awareness. I suggest you find a defender to be an assistant coach during the holidays, and focus on practicing breakthrough skills. As long as you can hold the ball and break through to attract defense, not only can you increase your assists, but you will also easily draw fouls when you play hard. , to cause damage to the inside. Practice changing direction and dribbling more, so that you can use your physical advantage and hit the basket. Your talent is very enviable, and I am optimistic that you can become an All-Star."

Kidd has no talent for playing, he relies on his super high basketball IQ and comprehensive skills.On the defensive end, he has nothing to teach. Ye Feng has done a good job and has all the qualities required by a super defender.He only needs to study the opponent's video more before the game, and be familiar with the opponent's offensive methods to do a good job in defense.

In the afternoon, the two sides played against each other again, and the Dream 8 team won by a big score again.

The Dream 8 team defends the 23-zone defense, and it is difficult for the sparring team that lacks pitchers to hit the basket.The players of the Dream 8 team have strong physical fitness. James, Wade, Howard and others returned to defense quickly, and the training team could not play running and bombing.

Hyde, who is good at three-pointers, became an important pawn in McHale's hands, scoring 12 and 14 points in the two games respectively.

Rose's outside shooting is inaccurate and he is only good at breakthroughs. Stuckey is also good at breakthroughs. These two people control the ball no matter who is the point guard.

Ye Feng found out that being a training partner was a very depressing thing. When he first came, he still fantasized that he could make James suffer. Unexpectedly, James used the pick-and-roll to get rid of him time and time again.Ye Feng's weaknesses on the offensive end were all magnified. In the second game, he made 7 of 2 shots and scored 4 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block.Without the pick-and-roll, he can't get past James.

McHale is not familiar with the players in the training team, so he can't arrange tactics according to everyone's characteristics, and it's more about letting the players adjust themselves on the field.What Ye Feng is happiest now is that he listened to Thibodeau and chose Love.If you get Rose to the Clippers, he will definitely grab the core, and he will definitely not be the one who attacks with the ball.At that time, I am afraid that he will have the urge to kill Rose.

In addition to the confrontation match, Ye Feng also went to the stars for a one-on-one match. Players in positions 1, 2, and 3 showed endless offensive tricks when singled out, Ye Feng was eye-opening.

He thinks that the most powerful individual is Carmelo Anthony.Anthony's shooting is too accurate, as long as he creates a little space, the jumper can be hit, and his big butt is pouted, and he is also very good at protecting the ball.Ye Feng played against him alone, and he was the worst abused.

As for James and Kobe, these two are not singled out with others at all.

Ye Feng asked James for abuse, James claimed that he was a team player, singled out was meaningless, playing was for five people... After talking nonsense, he refused, which reminded Ye Feng of his refusal to participate in the slam dunk contest.

Kobe is not singled out, for no reason.Maybe he has too much self-esteem and is afraid of losing.

In his previous life, Ye Feng remembered that there were gossip rumors that Kobe and James privately played against each other in the Dream 8 team.Kidd and other Mengba players witnessed all this from the sidelines. Under Kobe's defense, James didn't have a single dunk.On the other hand, when Kobe was attacking, James didn't know where to stand to defend. Kobe made ten out of ten shots, nine of which were dunks after breaking through, and the other made a three-pointer from the outside in order to save some face for James.Because it was an in-team training, there were no photographers present, but Bosh was on the sidelines at the time and captured this moment with a DV, so James asked for a flash drive for the heads-up video, and the two had a quarrel. With help, James finally took the flash drive.

Now that Ye Feng knew how unreliable the gossip was, this one-on-one fight was totally unwarranted.Those 9 dunks are probably an adapted version of the duel between slam dunks Akagi and Sakuragi...

Based on his personal experience, he believed that if Kobe and James were singled out for a bullfight, the winner would definitely be James.Kobe didn't make a lot of breakthroughs by himself. One-on-one with defensive players in the game was more of a jump shot after changing directions and pulling out the space.Relying on the feel of the ball will not hit too much, but James rarely shoots jumpers. It is more efficient to really rush to the inside against the defense.

Ye Feng's action of being guarded by Kidd was not consistent enough to be real, and unfortunately Durant videotaped it, if he didn't come back, this guy probably wanted to take it back to make his friends happy.In the training camp, Durant performed much better than Ye Feng. He is confident that he can avenge himself against the Clippers in the regular season next season.

The four days of sparring was like a suffering for Ye Feng.He vowed not to rest during the holidays, practice breakthroughs, and practice shooting.

Love is even worse, he is the worst performer in the entire training team, the only bright spot is that he has a good hit rate on the turn and small hook.These are all skills that he can't catch the ball at a high position. The coaching staff thinks that his size should be played inside. As a result, Love was treated as a parallel importer four days later.

Now Ye Feng only hopes that Thibodeau can turn decay into magic and make Love's defense better. If it is still so bad in the regular season, it will be too frustrating.

Ye Feng called Ariel in advance, asking her to discuss with Thibodeau and find an assistant coach as soon as possible.It's best to find a good defender to teach him to break through during the holidays.

At the end of the training camp, Ariel called to bring the good news that the Clippers' first assistant coach had been confirmed.

Retired star guard, Tim "Beetle" Hardaway!
