The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 82 [Single-on Scola]

After dinner, Ye Feng went back to his room and called Ariel.

Ariel's lazy voice came from the phone. "Hi, are you in New Orleans?"

"Yeah. Are you really not going to watch the game tomorrow?" Ye Feng hoped that Ariel would come to watch.

Ariel made up her mind, and sighed: "I won't go. I have to find a way to convince Dun Levy these days. I have already said that this season's mission is bad. This damn old man still led the team to win so many games. I'm having a headache."

Now the Clippers have achieved 19 wins, ranking 12th in the West, ahead of the Supersonics, Timberwolves, and Grizzlies. They are getting farther and farther away from the No. [-] pick.

Ye Feng thought of an extreme method, he could advance the "cleaning" carried out by Xia Tian, ​​and said: "I have a method, so that Deng Lewei can't win even if he wants to, but I don't know if you dare to do it."

"any solution?"

Ye Feng said: "Send Kaman away before the trade deadline. Without Kaman, the Clippers can only use Paul Davis as the starting center. How can they win?"

Ariel was taken aback, and shouted: "According to your original plan, after the trade, Kaman is the only capable person in the Clippers. Send him away. Is there anyone else on the team? We will continue to go for the No. [-] pick next season." ?”

Ye Feng said with a smile: "If you keep Kaman, you won't be able to completely ruin it. My idea is to find the Wizards to exchange for Antawn Jamison, and if possible, add a role player to exchange for their first-round pick. Jia Mison’s contract expires this summer, and the salary space has been completely cleared. We can dig a few good role players in the free market in the summer. The Clippers offered me a one-year offer. In order to complete the reconstruction within two years, I will sign a long-term contract next year. You can automatically cut your salary. There is a saying in China that you can’t bear to let your children be caught by wolves, don’t worry, I think of someone to replace Kaman on the inside.”

Jamison averaged 21.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game this season, making him one of the few 20+10 players in the league.Selected to the East All-Star.However, he is 32 years old, and his state will soon decline. It is completely possible to replace him with Kaman.He signed a seven-year, $7 million long-term contract with the Warriors that year, which was equal to Kaman's salary.

Ariel paused for a while, then said lightly: "Tomorrow, I will discuss it with the uniform team. This matter is of great importance, and I cannot make the decision alone. Just wait for the news."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Feng sighed.I wanted to ask Ariel to watch the All-Star Game, but in the end, I talked about work after a few words.

The All-Star weekend is full of warmth. In addition to playing games, players also participate in activities during the day and go to specific places in the city to do volunteer work.Ye Feng and the first-year rookies went to a local orphanage.

The rookie game in the evening also took some time to adjust, and the rookies practiced together once in the afternoon.The first-year and second-year players were at the same training ground, and Ye Feng greeted everyone, whether it was the players or the coach.

Yi Jianlian also came, he was very quiet, like an outsider, Ye Feng walked over and took the initiative to chat in Chinese, the two chatted for a while.Yi Jianlian was smiling, his voice was rough, and his speech was a bit reserved, not as sunny as his image.

Yao Ming and Ye Feng could joke around as soon as they met, as if they had known each other for a long time, but Yi Jianlian couldn't, he looked shy.This kind of overly introverted personality can easily create a gap with teammates and affect his integration into the team.Perhaps this is the biggest reason why Yi Jianlian has a talent that is not inferior to blacks but cannot achieve results.

After getting acquainted with shooting, the players went off to rest.During the group confrontation, Ye Feng was shaken by Scola several times.He was also passed by Scola in the regular season against the Rockets.He found that defending the interior footsteps was his weakness.

After the end, he sat next to Scola.He smiled and said, "Louis, I have an unfeeling request, can you give me some advice?"

Although Scola participated in the rookie game, he is actually 28 years old and can be regarded as a veteran.He froze for a moment and said with a smile, "Are you kidding me? Your scoring average is twice as high as mine, and your rebounding is better than mine. What can I tell you?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "I really appreciate your inside footsteps. Let's fight one-on-one for a while, can you fulfill my wish?"

"Okay." Scola agreed.He picked up a basketball and said with a smile: "However, your physical fitness and footwork are superfluous. If I could run as fast as you and jump as high as you, I would not choose this direction of development."

Scola is an out-and-out floor player. The skill he relies on for survival is low-post footsteps, shaking the opponent's inside shot.This season, he only ranked ninth among rookies, with only 10.2 points and 6.4 rebounds. However, this is only his first year and he only played 25 minutes.However, Ye Feng knew that Scola was an underestimated insider. In the two seasons from 2009 to 2011, the floor-flowing insider formed by him and Hayes almost led the Rockets to the playoffs when Yao Ming was reimbursed for the season.Ye Feng wants to understand this technique, even if he is not good at attacking, he must be able to defend. He needs to become more comprehensive.Today is a rare opportunity to learn from each other, and he doesn't want to miss it.

On the court, Ye Feng handed the ball to Scola, let him attack first, and defended himself at the three-second zone line.

Scola knew what he wanted to see, so he took a step at a 45-degree angle on the left, with his right foot as the axis, took the ball and turned towards the center, and took a big step with his left foot, Ye Feng immediately raised his hand and moved, with his center of gravity slightly towards the center Moving, Scola immediately turned back, took off with both feet to the other side, and hit a jumper.

Ye Feng watched intently. Although Scola's fake movements were slow, they were very realistic. He stood firmly on the pivot foot. He sighed: "Amazing."

"It's your turn." Scola smiled and stood on the inside line.

Ye Feng took a step in the low position. He didn't use his quality to play. He also wanted to use his footsteps to solve the problem, but his footsteps were too bad, they couldn't be combined with the upper body movements, and he couldn't shake Scola at all. This is the basic skill The disadvantage is that Scola is slow and can't jump up, but the defense is not easy to lose position.Ye Feng missed the jumper.

Scola attacked again, asking for the ball at the edge of the left three-second zone, with his left foot as the axis, his shoulder swayed to the right, the ball was brought to the right, his right foot stepped out to the right, Ye Feng followed to move to his left, Scola Immediately after the right foot hit the ground, the brakes were applied, the ball was held in the right hand and cut in to the left, the left foot moved first, and then the right foot was moved, crossing Ye Feng's defense line.Ye Feng immediately turned around to block the shot, Scola made a shot while running, and made a low-handed basket.He didn't even jump, but his shots were extremely fast, and he didn't even give Ye Feng a chance to block.

The two fought one-on-one for more than a dozen rounds, and Ye Feng gave in.Scola is simply his nemesis. He is not afraid of those muscular men with super quality, but he is not good at defending people who are good at low feet.He has little game experience, and foot defense requires more experience and anticipation. He has suffered from Boozer and Jefferson.

The inside line doesn't have to be a savage duel of muscle collisions, but it can also be a light and dexterous actor.Scola can't bounce, strength, speed, explosive... He doesn't have very superior physical fitness, but judging from his footsteps alone, he is really a gorgeous mess, he is simply a white-skinned "big dream" a few centimeters shorter .

After Scola made another shot, Feng Ye picked up the basketball and said, "Luis, teach me two tricks. What should I do to become like you? Do you have any tricks?"

Paparazzi Law: It is a fool not to take advantage of the advantage.Even if Scola is a Rockets player, he is his opponent.Ye Feng can also learn kung fu from his master with the cheeky face.In the Grizzlies, he wanted to practice footwork, but there was no master to teach him.

Scola shook his head and said: "There is no trick to this. The most important thing for low-level skills is basic skills. My physical fitness is not good, and I have been practicing skills. This is impossible to achieve quickly, no matter how hard I teach you. I learned it in a short period of time. Think about it, so many people went to learn from Olajuwon during the offseason, who in the league do you think has become a big dream?"

This is really hard to learn.It is very easy to imitate the pace, but it is difficult to brake and accelerate in an instant. It requires people with particularly solid basic skills to master it. Most people make two or three changes in direction and then accelerate, and they can't find the basket.

Ye Feng suddenly had an idea, can the Clippers recruit Scola to the Clippers in the summer?He will definitely be a big help.It's just that the contract signed by Scola and the Rockets is 1000 million for three years, which is a representative of low salary and high energy.If you want to trade him to the Clippers, there is no suitable person to exchange. With Morey's shrewdness, he will not make a loss-making business.Without a good bargaining chip, the transaction will definitely not succeed.It would not be good for Yao Ming if he went to the Rockets to poach people. The Rockets' insiders are already weak, so forget it.

The inside footsteps are not what he should mainly learn, he can't eat too much.With such a good physical fitness, it's not too late to learn how to play after playing for a few years. Now we just need to study how to defend well.He remembered some of Scola's actions, and he was going to go back and think about it.

Scola asked: "Do you still want to fight? If not, I will rest."

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Well, let's rest together, we will cooperate well in the game tonight."
