Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 409 AAU
In the AAU field, it is not uncommon for a team like Ye Feng and the others to be composed of active players, but like them, every player who is in his prime is as rare as a panda, and it is easy to be attacked by others. People's disgust, even if it's because of the suspension of the league.

In order to prevent the team from becoming a public enemy, Ye Feng came up with a good method.Originally, Westbrook hoped that everyone would wear sports vests with only the NBA logo printed on them, but Ye Feng persuaded him. In the end, the team uniforms were replaced with the so-called genuine school uniforms brought from UCLA. Everyone laughed and laughed. Putting on the jersey with his name and number printed on it, looking at the four familiar letters on the chest, it seems that he has returned to the era when he represented the UCLA Bruins in the NCAA.

This is Ye Feng's idea. He directly told everyone that we are all players from UCLA. This time, we organized a team to participate in AAU to pay tribute to our alma mater. In this way, no one else will have What do you think.You must know that alumni are a very strong relationship in the league. Sometimes some players even serve as alumni to help the team recruit stars. Ye Feng and the others really saved a lot of trouble by playing the banner of UCLA.

There were many active NBA players in this year's AAU competition. Ye Feng even saw Roy and Matthews, so he naturally wanted to say hello.Sure enough, as Ye Feng expected, the purpose of the two of them is to use the AAU game to find their status. After all, the team can't do anything now. Instead of foolishly killing time in the gym and training hall, it is better to go to the amateur league. It's much more interesting to try your hand at it.

They were very surprised when they saw Ye Feng, especially Roy, who looked suspiciously at Ye Feng several times before asking in disbelief: "Ye, don't tell me that you are also here to participate in the competition." Yes, your ankle injury healed so quickly?"

Ye Feng tugged at his jersey, spread his hands and said with a smile: "Of course, do you think I'm here to watch the game? I've already put on the jersey. Be careful not to run into us later, let me tell you first, we The team here is very strong, if we are overthrown by us, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

Roy looked at the group of people who were warming up, and soon found Ye Feng's teammates.He identified it carefully, and said a little bit dumbfoundingly: "You guys are playing too much, right? How can an AAU team gather five active players? There are also guys like you and Ariza who have won championships."

Ye Feng shook his head with a smile and said: "You missed one, Taylor Honeycutt, the one you don't know, this year's second-round pick, is also our alumni, this time I specially brought him in to see the world. How is it? How does it feel to see our all-active NBA roster?"

Before Roy could speak, Matthews said gloomily from the side: "Ye, you guys are going too far. Organize this group of people in the name of the school. I think there is basically no team except for the team led by James and the others." People can do better than you. I have to pray first later, lest I encounter you perverts in advance."

The three chatted for a few more words before returning to the team. In fact, in AAU, you can often meet acquaintances. It is normal to have a chat. Even players from the same team play their own roles in the AAU field. Not uncommon.However, it is still very happy to meet my NBA teammates, especially when this kind of league is suspended, it feels like I have lost contact with the entire team, and the meeting with teammates is naturally more cordial.

I have to say that Ye Feng and his team, which is composed of UCLA veterans, are really ridiculously strong. Basically, they can beat their opponents by a big score in every game, even if there are two or three NBA players on the opposite side.Only at this time did the rest of the team realize that it was indeed the right thing for Ye Feng to play as a substitute. Since there was only one substitute, versatility was very important, and it happened that Ye Feng was such an all-round small forward.

Although he couldn't play for a long time because he just came back from injury, Ye Feng basically tried every position, including the center forward.In the end, Honeycutt sat down willingly, watching Ye Feng gallop across the field.In fact, as a championship team, it is reasonable to say that the Blazers are much better than this veteran UCLA team, but Ye Feng still feels that playing now is more enjoyable than when he was in the Blazers.

The AAU league does not have such a high defensive intensity on the one hand, and on the other hand it is the role of several other teammates in the game.It is true that a healthy Roy is definitely much better than Afflalo, but Matthews is at most just a strong front line, and the strength of the shooting guard position is almost the same as that of the Blazers last season.As the league's top 3D player, Ariza's deterrence on the defensive end cannot be underestimated, which also makes Ye Feng much easier to defend.

But what made Ye Feng feel the difference the most were the two positions of point guard and center.He didn't intend to belittle Miller. In fact, Miller is already in his 30s. Although he can still run on the court, he can still shoot, and he can pass the ball to his teammates properly when he sees the gap. The impact and containment of the opponent's defense are not at the same level as Westbrook.Although Westbrook likes to attack with the ball and rarely sends direct assists, his presence greatly strengthens the team's firepower, and it also prevents opponents from expanding their defense beyond the three-point line unscrupulously.

When Love played center, he gave full play to his role as a rebounding machine. Even though he was the team's power forward most of the time in the NBA, the team became a small lineup of one center + four shooters after Ye Feng played. His existence is the biggest guarantee for rebounding.And after several seasons of training, Love's inside offense has also made great progress, and his attack range extends from the basket to beyond the three-point line. It is no exaggeration to say that he is now the league's first-class insider.

It's not that the Blazers are not strong enough, but no matter how strong you are, it is impossible to form a lineup like the current one. Even if Afflalo and Ariza are not considered, if you want to combine the original "UCLA troika" in the NBA It is also a difficult thing to achieve in a team.Ye Feng once hoped to join forces with his good brothers in the NBA, but as the three gradually became famous, he increasingly found that this matter was out of reach.

But it doesn't matter, it is a happy thing to be able to join forces in the AAU league. Coupled with the two seniors Ariza and Afflalo, the UCLA veterans are expected to set off a bloodbath in the AAU. Who makes them look like Is it an All-Star team?
