Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 37 Serious Problems
Seeing that Ye Feng didn't react at all, Ye Ning gave him a hard look, and then smiled at Hornacek: "It's his blessing that Mr. Hornacek took the time to point out this brat, and I'm the parent. I agreed for him, and I will urge him to ask you more after he is discharged from the hospital."

Ye Feng, who came back to his senses, grinned, acquiescing to his father's self-assertion.But what he thought in his heart was different from Ye Ning: Huh, if it wasn't for Abby's face, I wouldn't ask you, a weirdo, for advice on shooting basketball!You even said that my shooting is flawed, I want to see what you can say!

Seeing that Ye Feng did not object, Hornacek wrote an address on a sticky note with a smile, and directly stuffed it to Ye Feng, saying: "Ye, I have been here often for the past two weeks, if you are free, come directly Find me!"

Then he took Abby to say goodbye to everyone.Abby made a face at Ye Feng: "Hey, idiot, welcome to come and play when you have time, my dad's training will definitely not let you down." She deliberately emphasized the word "disappointed".

After the two closed the door, Guo Yu couldn't wait to ask: "Xiao Feng, how did you know that girl? It seems that you two have a good relationship, don't you..." Ye Feng blushed and quickly denied: "Mom, where are you thinking? I knew her purely by coincidence. That fat man Brown was there at the time. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. Now we are purely friends, not as complicated as you think!"

Seeing that his mother was about to break the casserole and ask the end, Ye Feng quickly changed the subject: "Dad, why did you agree to it for me without asking my opinion? I don't think there is anything wrong with my shooting, and this is after all. It is verified by the competition, no matter how much you say, it really works if it works in actual combat!"

Ye Ning took a deep look at his son and said: "To be honest, I don't know what advice Hornacek has for your shooting, but as the best three-point master in NBA history, his experience in shooting is always important. Richer than me, after all, shooting is just one of my weapons, but he is the only guy who eats. If you can get his advice, you kid can have fun!"

Seeing that Ye Feng still looked depressed, he smiled narrowly and said, "And isn't this creating opportunities for you and Abby?" Continue to be an ostrich.

One day later, Ye Feng was discharged from the hospital. In fact, his flu has already healed. The reason why he stayed in the hospital for observation was because the doctor thought he was too weak. To be on the safe side, he stayed in the ward.But how could an active person like Ye Feng endure the life trapped in the hospital?After repeatedly confirming his complete recovery, he persuaded Guo Yu to help him handle the discharge procedures.

On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Westbrook and Love led the team to easily defeat Stanford University led by the Lopez brothers.Although Love was limited by the combination of one offense and one defense of the opposite twins, he only scored 10 points, but he grabbed 18 rebounds and sent 4 assists.However, the team's highest scorer was unexpected. Collison contributed 21 points off the bench. UCLA's bench score led 47 to 28. This also allowed the Lopez brothers to contribute 32 points and 17 rebounds. became useless.

After the game, Westbrook couldn't wait to call Ye Feng. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the mental outlook of the team.He said cheerfully on the phone: "Ye, it seems that everyone has recovered from the loss of the last game. I am very confident in the next game, so you can report to the team later." I couldn't help laughing.

Ye Feng said angrily: "Get out, I was discharged from the hospital today, and I will definitely be able to catch up with the next game. Seeing you running on the court, I can't sit still at home. You wait for me to come back, I don't want to try the feeling of failure." It's the second time!"

In order to allow Ye Feng to rest better, Guo Yu specially called the school to ask for leave.Fortunately, the dean of the school knew the whole story from Holland. When he heard that Ye Feng was going to ask for leave for a few days, he immediately agreed to it, and told Ye Feng to supplement his nutrition at home. , Competing for honor for the school and so on.

Ye Feng spent these two days at home very comfortably, of course it was only spiritual.As a semi-professional basketball player registered with the NCAA, even though he did not participate in the team's training, Ye Feng did not relax. He still used fitness equipment at home to maintain his physical fitness. Insist on not eating high-fat and high-calorie foods, and chicken and vegetables are always placed in front of him when eating.

Of course Guo Yu was very distressed, but when she asked Ye Feng to eat more food, Ye Feng said to her seriously: "Mom, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I want to enter the NBA in the future. Good eating and exercise habits are not easy to break. As a son, I really should eat these delicious dishes, but as a basketball player, I have to be responsible for my body, so you don't have to tell me."

However, Ye Ning is very supportive. After all, he used to be a professional player, so he understands the importance of a healthy body for athletes.Although he was also a little bit distressed, he still buried these emotions in his heart, instead actively exercising with Ye Feng, and at the same time began to eat the same food as Ye Feng, leaving only Guo Yu staring at the plate almost untouched The dishes are deeply speechless.

At noon the day before Ye Feng returned to school, Ye Ning suddenly said to him: "Xiao Feng, do you want to visit Hornacek this afternoon? After you go back, you probably only have time on weekends." Ye Feng thought Thinking so, he took a good nap after dinner, and drove to the address that Hornacek had written to him at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Originally, Ye Feng thought that this was just Hornacek's temporary rented apartment in Los Angeles, so when he saw the exact same house number as on the paper pasted on the gate of a courtyard with a stadium, his eyes widened in surprise.After repeated identification, he had no choice but to believe that this was the place he was looking for.

"NBA players are really rich!" Ye Feng sighed as he parked his car in a parking spot on the side of the road.Because he was not sure how Hornacek would "instruct" him, Ye Feng specially wore his favorite Lakers No. 8 jersey to visit.Now it seems that this decision is correct, and the basketball court in the yard is a good example of the problem.

Ye Feng walked to the door, stretched out his hand and pressed the doorbell next to him.Soon Hornacek's voice came from the intercom: "Hi, hello, who is it? What's the matter?" Ye Feng quickly said: "Mr. Hornacek, I am Ye Feng, because tomorrow I'm going back to school, and I'm here to visit you specially today."

Hornacek seemed to smile, and he said: "Ye, it's you, come in quickly, I also want to see how good your shooting is, it's not always clear from the video before." Opening it slowly, Ye Feng smiled and walked in with his head held high, but he was thinking about what kind of mess this was.If Hornacek knew that Ye Feng was thinking like this, he would probably tell Ye Feng to get out immediately.

Seeing Ye Feng wearing the Lakers' No. 8 jersey, Hornacek's expression was a little strange: Didn't this kid do it on purpose? In the two seasons of 1996-97 and 1997-98, the Jazz played against the Lakers in the playoffs, and the result was a disastrous defeat for the Lakers. A 0 to 4 and a 1 to 4 forced the Lakers to find Phil Jackson as the coach. Only then did the "OK Group" win three consecutive championships.And in the 2003-04 season, the Lakers also got Karl Malone. Even though Malone was old at that time, he and Stockton still represented an era of the Jazz. This switch to Los Angeles naturally caused dissatisfaction among Jazz fans.It can be said that these are two teams with a lot of grievances at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century.

But obviously Ye Feng didn't think about this level, he just admired Kobe, as for the relationship between the Jazz and the Lakers, he really didn't think that much.Hornacek thought of this, he shook his head with a smile, took out a brand new basketball from the room, and signaled Ye Feng to go to the yard together.

Now Ye Feng was surprised: Does Hornacek still want to demonstrate on the spot?Or just want to see their shooting skills?He was suspicious, but still followed Hornacek to the court in the yard.Hornacek thought for a while and said: "There is only one ball now, and there is no timing tool. You shoot five balls at each point of the two bottom corners, the left and right 45 degrees, and the top of the arc. I will pass the ball to you, and then Calculate the time roughly. If you are ready, let's start!"

Ye Feng nodded, moved his hands and feet, picked up the basketball from the ground and ran to the left corner, took a deep breath, and threw the ball directly. "Shua!" The basketball went straight into the frame, and Hornacek was waiting under the basket. He caught the falling basketball in time and continued to pass it to Ye Feng.

After receiving the ball, Ye Feng made another shot without hesitation, and the basketball went through the basket again.Hornacek stood under the basket and watched Ye Feng's shooting performance, while thinking seriously.Ye Feng soon finished shooting from the left corner. Generally speaking, the bottom corner has the highest three-point shooting rate because it is closest to the basket, and Ye Feng also made all five shots very powerfully.

Then Ye Feng ran to the second point, which is a 45-degree angle on the left, and continued to throw the ball again and again. In this position, he made 5 of 4 three-pointers.Then came the top of the arc, the right 45-degree angle and the right bottom corner, five points, five balls for each point, out of the 25 balls, Ye Feng actually hit 22 of them, which is indeed a very amazing shooting skill.

But Ye Feng didn't notice that Hornacek's brows were already wrinkled.Just when Ye Feng was about to speak, Hornacek said first: "Ye, your shooting is indeed very strong, whether it is the hand shape or the rhythm, you have done it quite perfectly, but..." Ye Feng was flattered in his heart, Unexpectedly, Hornacek came up with a "but". Generally, if this word appears, it means that there will be a magical turning point in the following content.

Sure enough, Hornacek continued: "But there is a serious problem with your shooting." Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of disbelief, but Hornacek's conclusion made the smile on the corner of his mouth freeze up:
"Your shot is too slow!"
