The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 13 [Fauvism]

It was finally time to make his debut in the official competition. Seeing the crowds of people in the auditorium, Ye Feng took a few deep breaths.

With so many people watching, if I don’t perform well, maybe this group of people will post on the Internet saying that the Lakers shouldn’t sign me, and I must use actions to prove that I can play in the NBA.Just as Ye Feng was thinking, his back suddenly hurt and he was slapped hard.

Fisher saw his strangeness, so he gave him a slap, and said loudly: "Don't be nervous! Recall what you have learned these days, and do what you did during training. You are defending in training. Kobe, Odom. What are these Warriors guys? You can guard them."

Fisher always took good care of Ye Feng and said some words of encouragement. Ye Feng nodded gratefully and walked on the field.

Both sides adjusted the lineup and replaced several substitutes.The Warriors replaced Brandon Wright at the power forward position.Wright is this year's rookie, the eighth pick in the first round was selected by the Bobcats.As soon as Ye Feng stood beside him, he felt that he was a freak, this guy's arms were too long!

Wright was expressionless and looked like a goose.He is 206cm tall, but his wingspan has reached 223cm, which is longer than Ye Feng's arm, but his weight is only 91kg.The Bobcats used him as a bargaining chip in exchange for Richardson from the Warriors. The Warriors are very optimistic about his development potential.

Ye Feng mustered all his strength, this is a good opportunity.He remembered that Wright was nothing special in his previous life, only a parallel importer.No one in the league knows this now, and as long as he wins over Wright, his rating will definitely improve.

The Lakers attacked, Farmar led the ball to the frontcourt, Bynum pulled to a high position to cover, his mid-range shots were more accurate than Ye Feng, Ye Feng was running to prepare for air cuts and grab offensive rebounds.Wright's speed is also very fast, which is quite amazing among the big men, keeping up with Ye Feng.

As long as Ye Feng is followed by someone, the defender will not pass the ball to him. His singles ability is not trustworthy at all.

Farmar sprinted to Radmanovic on the edge of the penalty area, and the latter quickly passed the ball to Vujacic at the foot of the ball.Vujacic made a three-pointer after receiving the ball, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Wright's upper body strength is very poor, and he can push 84 kg bench press twice. Ye Feng got stuck behind him, but shooting guard Pietrus was very accurate in judging the position of the rebound, rushed to grab the rebound, and Ye Feng hurried back to defend .

Speed ​​is the only magic weapon for the Warriors to win. Pietrus went forward to launch a fast break when he got the rebound, without waiting for the inside players to settle.After Davis left the field, Monta Ellis was the team's first main attack point. The ball was passed to him, and he rushed towards the Lakers halfcourt with the ball, easily throwing away Farmar.

Just when Ellis stopped suddenly to make a jump shot, Ye Feng jumped up from behind, gliding in the air and rushed over, Ellis reacted quickly, the shot was changed to a feint, watching Ye Feng fly past him , but he lost his chance when he wanted to shoot again, and Farmar returned to the defense.

Ye Feng was under the opponent's basket just now, but he returned to the defense much faster than Bynum who ran first. Half court was passed in a few steps. The distance from the jump to the landing just now was enough to jump from the free throw line to the basket. This time it was The defense was successful!
Someone spotted this, and Barkley exclaimed, "My God, how far did he just fly?"

Smith said with a smile: "It really is a terrifying quality."

Wright also ran to the basket, and Ye Feng stepped forward to defend closely, blocking him outside the three-second zone.Ellis passed the ball to Barnes on the outside, and went out to find a screen. Wright stepped forward to pick and roll to help Ellis get the ball. After Ye Feng switched defenses, he faced Ellis again.

Ellis was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 2005th overall pick in the second round of 40. He is one of the last generation of high school students in the NBA.His breakthrough speed is astonishing, he can shuttle freely in the penalty area where there are many people, scoring like chopping melons and vegetables.By this season, he has begun to show his strength.

Few inside players can keep up with his speed after the pick-and-roll switch, but Ye Feng is an exception. He bypassed Wright and blocked Ellis' breakthrough route with one step, preventing him from rushing into the three-second zone smoothly.

This guy again, so fast!Ellis swayed his left shoulder slightly, and dribbled the ball quickly to the right.Ye Feng didn't take a fake move, and blocked his path.Kobe has done this kind of fake change of direction countless times, and he already has experience in defense. He not only observes the movement of his shoulders, but also pays attention to which leg Ellis is going to take from the corner of his eye.

Last season, Ellis won the Most Improved Player Award, and his confidence has already been shown. How could he bear being blocked by a football player, and immediately stepped back to dribble the ball, with his right foot as the axis, and his right hand made a behind-the-back dribble , Halfway through, the right hand passes the ball to the left hand to dribble, and then the left hand dribbles to the right hand.

Stepping down twice in a row made Ye Feng dizzy, his body moved slightly to the right, and Ellis immediately took a big step, breaking through from Ye Feng's left side.

Ye Feng knew that he was going to be passed as soon as he took a fake move. Under the guidance of Brian Xiao, he had already figured out the remedy. He made mistakes without any pause. He turned from the right side and chased after Ellis who was laying up.

When Ellis was holding the ball with his right hand and preparing for a layup, he caught a glimpse of Ye Feng, who jumped up to block the block ahead of time, from the corner of his eye. He made a pull-bar action and then made a layup, trying to avoid Ye Feng's block.

Ellis made a miscalculation, Ye Feng seemed to be fixed in the air and didn't fall down, he opened his right hand and disrupted his shooting rhythm, he sent the ball from Ye Feng's side with low hands, and spun around the basket off.Walton got the rebound.

After Ye Feng landed, he immediately rushed towards the Warriors half court, directly participating in the fast break.

Is this guy still human?Wright was the fastest among the inside players of the Warriors, but he was left behind by Ye Feng.Farmar's ball went straight into Ye Feng's hands.Ye Feng took the ball in the middle, and the defender in front of him was Barnes.

Ye Feng's dribbling is still terrible, he doesn't have confidence in anyone, and once he takes the ball, his speed advantage can't be used.During extra practice, besides dribbling and shooting, he practiced dunks the most, which is his best scoring method.

"Get out!" Ye Feng yelled at Barnes, picked up the basketball with only one step, and rushed to the basket at full speed.

When the Lakers teammates saw his posture, their eyes widened.As long as Ye Feng charges up, people will block and kill people, Buddhas will block and kill Buddhas, if you don't dodge, it is very likely that Ye Feng will dribble the ball into someone, but it is basically defending with his life...

Barnes has rich experience after playing for four seasons. He didn't want to fight with others in the preseason, so he quickly flashed out of his position.

Ye Feng flew up sideways, brushed past Barnes, and smashed the ball heavily into the basket with a powerful "Tomahawk". 19 to 21.

The audience was boiling, and the fans didn't care about Barnes' defense, they only knew that the dunk was beautiful.

The Lakers teammates were all excitedly waving towels on the sidelines. When returning to defense, Farmar and Ye Feng also clapped hands. This shot boosted morale.

Warriors head coach Nelson's eyes lit up. He felt that Ye Feng's conditions were very suitable for bombardment tactics. If the Lakers didn't sign him, they would get him to the Warriors. Reason for signing him.

Smith exclaimed: "My God, I have heard that his physical fitness is very good. I didn't expect it to be this kind of beast. Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue's body data are also amazing. The physical fitness of Chinese people seems to have generally improved. .”

Barkley laughed and said, "No wonder he's nicknamed Hungry Wolf, this kid is ruthless enough."

The Warriors attacked, Wright came out to cover again, and it was Ellis who attacked with the ball. After the pick-and-roll, Ye Feng faced him again.Ellis made a breakthrough with the ball, attracting Ye Feng's center of gravity to move backwards, and then made a jump shot from an emergency stop. Ye Feng didn't block the shot, but the ball missed the shot. Ellis' shooting was not very stable, and the ball bounced a lot. Far, Wright, who ran to the weak side, grabbed an offensive rebound.He hopes to prove his worth in his first season in the NBA. He wants to play tougher and dunk with both hands in one step. Farmar can't stop him after switching defenses.

Seeing that he was about to press the ball into the basket, Ye Feng defended from the side.Taking off with all his strength, he also pressed hard on the basketball with both hands.

The two bodies collided in the air. Wright was taller, but he was as thin as a bamboo pole. He lost his balance when he touched it, and was knocked down by Ye Feng with the ball.The referee's whistle blew.

Seeing Ye Feng landed steadily, there was another burst of exclamation in the arena. He immediately stole the limelight from all the players on the field. The ball was defended too hard. It took a while to get up.Standing up, he didn't dare to say anything, anyone who saw him felt that he was being bullied by Ye Feng.

Wright was sent to the free throw line and made one of two free throws. Ye Feng scored a backcourt rebound.

In the next game, Ye Feng's flaw of not being able to attack began to be revealed. After the pick-and-roll, he attempted two shots from the high post, and all of them missed.However, his role in defense is still very obvious, especially in the protection of the penalty area. His repeated defenses made the Warriors mess up from the outside.Ellis is a very impactful player, but compared with Kobe, he is still young. After being defended a few times, he became more and more impatient, and he couldn't choose the timing of several shots well.With Ye Feng's help, he failed to attack four times in a row. He managed to get to the basket once, and got blocked by Bynum.After Wright was severely fouled by Ye Feng, his mentality also changed. He was more in a high position, and he didn't dare to go inside and dunk.He doesn't want to be on the injured list before the regular season starts.

With 3 minutes left in the second quarter, Ye Feng received his fourth foul of the game, and Jackson replaced him.He has been sitting on the bench since then.He hadn't played enough, so he whispered to Brian Xiao: "Brian, why didn't the head coach let me go again? Is there anything wrong with what I did just now?"

Brian Xiao said lightly: "Didn't you notice that the main players are all sitting off the court? You performed very well, and there is no need to investigate any more. The coach doesn't want to expose all your weaknesses to the opponent."
