Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 14 The Coach Visits
The rookie list of the UCLA Bruins was announced on the school's official website on time the next day, but as the captain of the Bruins, Westbrook still used the excuse of celebration as an excuse to sneak into Ye Feng and Love's dormitory to eat and drink. The original words were "The Chinese are the nation that knows how to eat the most in the world, let's not waste Ye Feng bringing so much delicious food."

Looking at Westbrook who was tearing open a pack of sauced beef and feasting on it, Ye Feng's head was full of black lines: "Russell, no one is robbing you, why are you eating so fast? And there will be hot pot later, are you sure you still want it?" Can you eat it?"

Before Westbrook could speak with his mouth full of beef, Love asked curiously: "Ye, what is hot pot? Did you just throw a bunch of vegetables into the pot and cook casually? It doesn't look technical at all. "Ye Feng rolled his eyes unceremoniously: "I don't think you have any technical content. Why are you sitting by the side with a bowl? It's not me. Although the hot pot looks simple, the heat and the soup base are very important. This soup base Or I carefully prepared it, and you actually said that it has no technical content?"

When Ye Feng said this, he didn't blush at all. In fact, he went to the supermarket in China Street to buy this hot pot soup base. He insisted that it was his own credit, and there is no one with such a thick skin.

Soon the mutton and fish balls in the pot were cooked, Ye Feng took a bite, and called Love and Westbrook to eat together.Westbrook gasped for air while eating, and said with tears, "Ye, is this your Chinese chili pepper? Why is it so hot?" Ye Feng waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's more spicy than normal. The chili is a little bit hotter, but you didn't tell me that you can't eat spicy food!"

Later, whenever Westbrook mentioned Chinese hot pot, he had the urge to burst into tears, and no matter what the occasion, he would throw Ye Feng out and take the blame.But at least for now, even though his face was flushed and his head was sweating profusely from eating, he still couldn't stop.Love was even more unbearable than him, the ice water in front of him was already the third glass, and he even planned to use ice water to wash the mutton frantically, but fortunately Ye Feng stopped him in time.

Just as the three of them were eating happily, "Tuk Tuk Tuk!" There was a knock on the door.Ye Feng looked at his watch, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, who would come here to find someone so late?Confused, he put down his bowl and chopsticks to open the door.Soon his expression turned into surprise, and a familiar middle-aged man stood at the door and looked at him with a smile.Ye Feng came back to his senses, and quickly greeted him: "Hi Coach Holland, please come in quickly, we are eating hot pot, would you like some?"

Holland looked at the embarrassed Westbrook and Love, smiled and said: "Sit down, sit down, I'm not the kind of old-school coach who punishes you because you eat junk food, after all, you still It cannot be regarded as a professional player, self-discipline is good, but it is not necessary to follow the set of professional players."

Ye Feng muttered in a low voice: "Who said hot pot is junk food?" Holland pretended not to hear, he clapped his hands and said: "I think you won't be able to finish it in a while, so let's eat it, let me tell you. "

Ye Feng and Love thought nothing of it, but Westbrook's eyes widened. When did the coach in his memory be so talkative?Let me tell you, it would be nice not to dump the contents of the pot before speaking!

Holland randomly found a chair and sat down, looked at the three people with nervous faces, and said with a smile: "I came here today mainly to analyze the tactics for Ye and Kevin, I didn't expect you to be here, Russell. That would be great. I went to see Coach Wooden yesterday after drafting and he has high expectations for you guys."

The three of them didn't speak, they pricked up their ears and waited for what the coach would say, and they didn't even care about the delicious food in the bowl.Holland nodded approvingly and said: "When Russell first came last year, he was just a small substitute who averaged 3.4 points and 0.7 assists per game. The team's record of 30 wins and 6 losses is largely due to Because of the two guards, Afflalo and Collison, and Afflalo has already entered the NBA this year, so we are going to let Russell take over as the starter. After all, his talent is here, and he only needs to pass more The game will be polished. And his physical fitness can be said to be blocked by few people in the first position."

Then he glared at Westbrook: "This brat is good at everything, but he is easy to hit the ball, and his shots are poor. Many times, once the opponent chooses to flank, he is prone to mistakes, because his habit is to face the ball. Defensively." Westbrook smiled flatteringly, but did not speak.

"But I didn't expect the two of you to come to UCLA this year. I won't say anything about Love. The team is short of a strong rebounder like him, and his three-point shooting and screen quality are very good. The only thing that makes me feel It's you who are confused, Ye, I believe you determine the upper limit of the team, but obviously I can't give you the core treatment in high school, or at least not have such a high status, which is why I came to find you today. "

Ye Feng thought for a while and said: "Coach Holland, I probably know what you want to say. My task in the new season is to assist Russell in commanding the team and provide support for him, right? After all, I am not American." He smiled self-deprecatingly.

Holland was stunned, he didn't expect Ye Feng to be able to guess the answer with just a few words of his own, he quickly said: "No, it has nothing to do with whether you are American, Ye, I have to tell you, Russell is now our key training object. Although he still has many shortcomings, we believe in his talent. But we will not let you play for him. Although I originally meant this, but Coach Wooden convinced him I, I have always believed in his vision, and your command in the second half of the trial yesterday really impressed me."

He paused, and said sincerely: "So in the new season, I hope you can form a dual-core with Russell!" Then he looked at Love and said apologetically, "Kevin, I have to say you are also an excellent player." , but..." Love looked very free and easy, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I know that my character is not suitable to be the core, and in high school, although I was the team's scoring leader and rebounding leader, but the ball The core of the team's tactics is not me. Now there are two people in the front, Russell and Ye, and I wish for it."

Ye Feng smiled lightly: "I'm definitely willing to become one of the core players, but I haven't cooperated with Russell before, if I can't show my power..." "Don't worry about this, I will cooperate with you before the season officially starts." Other teams have a few warm-up matches, and whether the tactics are suitable or not must be seen on the field. However, we cannot give up the dual-core, otherwise it will be a waste.” He suddenly sternly said, “Training is training. If you dare to lose... Hehe, don't blame me for training you with the devil!"

Westbrook shuddered shiveringly. It must not be the first time he has suffered. He said with a dry smile, "Please rest assured, coach. Isn't it easy to catch with our strength?" Holland snorted: "It's better so."

Ye Feng seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile: "Coach, can you tell us a little bit about the team's tactics for the new season? It's good for us to be mentally prepared." Holland looked at him with a half-smile One look: "So you don't have confidence in yourself?" Ye Feng trembled all over, thinking of Westbrook's fearful expression just now, he shook his head repeatedly and said: "How could it be? How could a genius like me have no confidence in himself?" ? I'm just curious...curious...hahaha..."

"Keep your heart in your stomach. When the team officially trains, I will send you the tactical manual. At that time, you can watch it for as long as you want. Don't ask so many questions now. If you have to know, you Just ask Russell how he's been with the team for a year."

Seeing that it was getting late, Holland gave them a few words and left the dormitory.As soon as the door closed, Ye Feng rushed to Westbrook's side, grabbed his shoulders, and smiled almost obsequiously: "Boss, can you tell us about the team's play style last season? The coach just said it, I want to know I can ask you if you want."

Westbrook was wolfing down the bowl, he pushed Ye Feng's face away, and said dissatisfiedly: "Ye, you can tell me, don't get too close to me, okay? I haven't finished eating yet! You will spit on me later. Who should I cry to in the bowl?" Ye Feng didn't care about Westbrook's tone at all, he still said in a good temper: "Boss, for the sake of treating you to a hot pot meal, just tell me! Look at Kevin, he also said it curiously." Lu Fu, who was eating well, raised his head in confusion, not understanding how this had something to do with him again...

Westbrook said helplessly: "Didn't you hear it just now? I was just a backup point guard last season. The team with the best statistics is Afflalo. He was just picked by the Pistons in the first round this year. Picked away. And me, do you think I know tactics well? My role on the court is to keep breaking through, occasionally contribute a dunk or two, and then try to keep up with the opposing point guard on the outside. If you ask about last season’s tactics, you’re looking for the wrong person. As for the new season, I’ll make a move, if you can’t make it, I’ll make it for you, and if you can’t make it, you’ll find Kevin to play singles, and then stand outside and wait to shoot a three-pointer. It's as simple as that! Don't look at me with that look, don't you know that simple and rough is my style?" After speaking, he continued to pick up the bowl, fished a large bunch of beef tendon from the pot, and ate it with great interest .

Ye Feng looked sad and indignant: If you don't tell me, don't tell me, this is all a routine!
