The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 201 [Watching Football, Understanding Tactics]

Europe not only has street basketball, but also has a lot of strong people, and a culture has been formed.There are famous street groups in Poland, France, Italy, Germany and other countries.

Navarro smiled and said: "You have won the slam dunk championship, but NBA players' slam dunks are not the strongest. If you don't believe me, you can go to France to see. There are many super capable street players. But don't expect them to play. NBA. These people are good at acting and don’t know what a team is. If you want to increase your offensive methods and improve your personal abilities, it might be helpful to go there and see.”

The French basketball level is very high, there are many NBA players, and it is normal for them to be strong in street ball.Ye Feng looked at Ariel, and asked: "Honey, do you want to go and see?"

Ariel smiled and said: "Go, but you can't go up and fight by yourself, you are not here for training. Coming to Europe is a good opportunity for us to sublimate our relationship. We should go shopping, chat, and do other things together."

Work hard when it's time to work hard, and rest when it's time to rest.Ye Feng was aware of this, and said with a smile: "I won't compete with them, although I don't think our relationship needs to be sublimated, you are already the most important person to me."

Navarro named several French streetball groups and named several individuals.He said that one-on-one with those people, even if the NBA-level masters go, they must be prepared to be humiliated. There are many tricks in streetball, but many of those skills are illegal in regular games, and they will be blown off their wrists and walk.

Ye Feng asked: "Simply dunking is not very interesting, and dribbling doesn't help me either. Is there anyone who is good at shooting?"

Navarro thought for a while, then slapped his fist and said: "There is a man in France who can throw the ball in with weird movements. His jumping ability is not outstanding, and he is not tall, but he has strong body flexibility, and Playing the game feels like a lot of balls are thrown around. I suspect that as long as you give him room to shoot, he will have a way to send the ball into the basket. I've seen it, it's unbelievable. His name is Raymond Bobile!"

Ariel burst out laughing, laughed for a while, covered her stomach and said, "That person's surname is Bobile?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?" Navarro wondered.

Ariel smiled and said, "In French, Bobile means trash can!"

It's no surprise that everyone has a first and last name, but it's interesting when it comes to determining what a person's last name is based on who they are, what they do, what they do, or where they live.French surnames are so interesting.

Ye Feng decided to meet this person when he went to France.

According to the schedule, they will not go to France immediately.I stayed in Barcelona for two days and watched two games.When Ye Feng appeared in the stands of the basketball stadium, he immediately became the focus of the media.A local reporter interviewed him at half-time and asked him his opinion on the Spanish league.

Ye Feng praised Spanish basketball. "They have to go through multiple screens and pick-and-rolls every time they attack. They play complex and skillful. I think it takes a long time to achieve it. It is very powerful. There are also zone defenses. Many European players do not rely on physical fitness to play. But in the zone defense system, they can play a defensive role. I think if Barcelona plays against the Clippers and Lakers, they may not necessarily lose. They can also play good results in the NBA.”

The reporter was very satisfied with what he said, and asked: "If you are going to Spain to play the preseason, would you like to come?"

"Of course I do, I like it here."

If they go abroad to play invitational matches, it will not only help the team's publicity, but also earn some money, Ye Feng doesn't mind flying a little farther.Playing in the NBA is also flying around, I have long been used to it.

The reporter interviewed Ariel again and asked her what is her impression of Spain?Ariel said that it feels very fresh here, the environment is very good, and the people are very friendly, and she said some words that can be used everywhere.

The interview went smoothly, and the reporter did not forget to wish their relationship last forever before leaving.The Barcelona team also successfully won the game.

The next day, the two went to watch the Barcelona football team match together, and met two Chinese fans who supported Barcelona in the stands.

One of the fat men recognized Ye Feng at a glance, and after saying hello, he asked him excitedly for his autograph. The other short-haired young man had a calm expression and had no idea who Ye Feng was.Ye Feng looked at this person a few more times, he was not very old, his body was thin, and his height was more than 1.8 meters, his facial features were handsome, his eyes sparkled, and he was very majestic.After a few glances at this person, I naturally feel a little good in my heart.

The game was 0-0 for halftime, and Ariel felt a little bored, and sighed: "There are too few goals in football, and only Messi is still worth watching."

Ye Feng also pays attention to the Football World Cup and knows more about it. "Football mainly depends on the process. Looking at those cooperation and extraordinary, Messi is indeed very good."

The little handsome guy who had been quiet all this time spoke. "I don't think Messi is the best. The strongest person in this team is Xavi."

Could it be the legendary Hami?Ye Feng asked with a smile: "Why?"

The handsome guy smiled and said: "Xavi is the core of Barcelona. He can make his teammates stronger. Xavi doesn't need Messi, just like in the national team, Torres can stand on the front line. Messi always needs Xavi Xavi is Xavi without Messi, and Messi is not Messi without Xavi."

Ye Feng thought it made sense.Whether it is football or basketball, good players can make teammates stronger. Harvey is like Nash on the football field, and Messi is like Stoudemire, one pass, one charge.Goals are more important on the football field, so Messi's evaluation is much higher than Harvey's.But both have shortcomings. What if Harvey doesn't have a good striker in front of him?Can he still play his strength?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng said with a smile: "I don't think they are the strongest. If a person wants to become the strongest athlete, he must first have excellent physical fitness. If a person can break through like Messi, and Harvey The brains that can pass the ball, and Gerrard's feet, who can score super long shots, that kind of talent is the strongest."

"You're right." The handsome guy nodded and added, "Maybe I can do it... God, how can they believe that I can play as well as Xavi now?"

The fat friend beside him sighed, smiled awkwardly at Ye Feng and Ariel, and said in Chinese: "Brother Holmes, please stop talking nonsense, okay? At least don't speak in English, it will make people laugh, You can't even juggle the ball!"

Ye Feng could understand Chinese and thought it was a bit funny. Could it be that this person is called Sherlock Holmes?Shouldn't it be a real name?He looked at the young man a few more times. His thin body didn't look like a football player.

It is good to have self-confidence, but Chinese football is too disappointing. He is not interested in asking more questions and continues to watch the game.

Barcelona took the lead 2-0 in the second half.Xavi sent an assist and Messi scored a goal.Seeing the yawn, Ariel finally leaned on Ye Feng's shoulder and fell asleep.

Ye Feng looked at it very seriously, and he was still thinking about basketball.Both sports require intense confrontation and teamwork.In contrast, football is more difficult, and it is very difficult to win with personal ability.

There are always a large number of dark horses on the football field, and this is the biggest difference that people can feel when watching football and basketball.On the basketball court, strength determines everything, and it is rare to be upset.If he could get upset frequently, Ye Feng wouldn't be sitting here anymore.

In basketball, a team that controls the situation controls the outcome.There is no basketball game in which the field goal percentage, rebounds, and turnovers are all dominant but will be lost.Basketball games also need luck, but it does not mean that a team shoots 20 times at the goal but misses a goal, and loses when it is counterattacked.
It can be said that football always likes to pave the way for the atmosphere and beat around the bush, while basketball is more direct.But football and basketball are very similar, both are games that pay attention to geometry.

Space, distance, straight line, just like in basketball offense, only wider court and more people.Ye Feng felt that Barcelona played like Princeton as a whole, constantly interspersed with running positions.Messi, Xavi, and Eto'o are like a triangle offense.

A thought flashed in Ye Feng's mind.Next season, can the Clippers play a match similar to Barcelona on the court?Whether playing the Lakers or the Jazz, the Clippers players have stood their ground.Once the movement stops, the opponent's defense can also shrink in an area, which is too rigid.Barcelona football is to keep the ball running, "the foot does not stick to the ball", the ball is passed five or six times before the attack is launched, so that the opponent does not know when the attack starts and where it comes from, causing the defense to lose its assistance.Isn't it better to play basketball "round the bush"?Spanish basketball has that feeling, it's not a triangle offense, it's not a Princeton offense, it's a combination, everyone moves, everyone is also involved in the offense, giving it a "round" feel.

The non-stop movement and transposition of players without the team, interspersed, the wall-hitting dribble supported by the center, and the straight pass are all gorgeous offensive tactics of art football.Pass the ball at the first time, patiently and repeatedly turn the foot, look for opportunities to attack, pass the straight ball to tear the opponent's formation, and open up space.These things, it seems, can be used in basketball.

If the Clippers' role players are all moving when playing against the Jazz, constantly interspersed with running positions, pick-and-rolls and changing defenses, how can the Jazz players double-team Ye Feng?It's a pity that Thibodeau insisted on using a single pick-and-roll offense and triangle offense in the playoffs. When the players stood still, Ye Feng was the only one who moved.Maybe they could have won that series if they'd changed their game early and started running.

This is a bit funny, Ye Feng got inspiration in Europe, but it came from football field.Next season, he thinks about how to score the ball under double-teams rather than thinking about how to prevent opponents from double-teaming.

If he plays singles with the ball in the low post or high post, and his teammates keep moving, it will definitely work.Now the Clippers' tactic is to tire him alone, while others stand on the court and wait for an opportunity.Back in Los Angeles, he plans to discuss with Thibodeau and study a new tactic, similar to football tactic, and he wants to mobilize the whole team.
