Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 41

It wasn't until the day of the competition that Ye Feng realized that talking and doing were actually two different things.Don't look at them usually blacking CAL so much that it's not worth mentioning, and even boasting that they want to blow up Anderson, but when the players from both sides came out, they saw the tall and thin white youth opposite, as confident as Ye Feng, and they gasped: This guy is too tall, if not the inside line, who can guard him from the outside line?

After the warm-up, everyone went back to the locker room, waiting to hear the head coach's tactical arrangements.Little did he know that Holland also had a very headache. He hadn't come up with an effective solution these days, and he didn't even have an idea.Looking at the expectant eyes of the players, he bite the bullet and said: "Well... In this game, I don't worry about offense, just play our usual tactics. But on the defensive end, I hope everyone can Do unlimited defense changes..."

"What? Unlimited defense changes?" Westbrook was the first to lose his composure. This is a fool's job. If he were to defend Anderson himself, wouldn't he just bet on his touch?Other players are also talking about it. It's not that they haven't switched defenses before, but infinite switching sounds a bit nonsense.Holland's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot. He coughed heavily and said, "What are you doing? Is there any discipline for one or two? Of course there is a reason why I let everyone switch defenses infinitely."

Westbrook was the first to shout again: "What's the reason?" Holland couldn't bear it anymore, he slapped the table and shouted: "Russell, you are the captain of the team after all, can you give Your teammates set a better example? If you talk too much, go back and clean the arena toilet for me for a month!" Westbrook's face changed, he smiled embarrassingly, and hid aside.

Holland calmed down the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Obviously, the biggest threat to CAL is Anderson. The rest of them are not on the same level as him. Even their guard Christopher will not cause us much harm. Threat. So for the time being, the method I think of is to force Anderson to play alone. The reason why everyone is required to switch defenses indefinitely is that the most important point is to spread the exhaustion of the opponent's physical strength on everyone, which is equivalent to using our whole team to fight. Consume one person on the opposite side, so we can minimize his threat."

Ye Feng smiled slightly at the side, he was not surprised by the coach's method, because it is indeed a method that may be effective.Of course, whether it is useful or not depends on the performance on the court, and it is not possible to completely solve the problem with two strokes on the tactical board.If this could really be done, the coach wouldn't be stuck in UCLA anymore. Someone had already asked him to coach an NBA team.

After the arrangements were made, everyone left the locker room one by one and walked towards the stadium through the player tunnel.Shipp was still a little weak, he deliberately lagged a few steps, and quietly said to Westbrook: "Do you think we can really restrain Anderson? If you combine his height with his skills, you think this person is very difficult to deal with!" Weiss Brooke stared and said loudly, "How do you build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige? No matter how strong he is, he is still alone? Leave me and Ye on the outside, do you think we can give him a chance to shoot casually?"

His voice was unusually loud, and Ye Feng, who could hear it clearly, cursed inwardly: "Damn, you just keep on cheering, what's the point of trapping me in? You also swore that' you won't give him a chance to make a move casually." ’, I really dug a hole for myself.” Over there, Shipp said with a look of emotion: “Thank you, thank you, you are indeed the captain, and I will trouble you with the important task of defending Anderson later!”

"Uh..." Westbrook didn't expect that he would be self-defeating, and now he was dumped by his teammates, crying or laughing, so he had to cough to cover up his embarrassment.Ye Feng sniggered from the sidelines, but after thinking about it, he had a part in the blame, so he couldn't help sighing: This is really a teammate like a pig!
The game has not yet started, and the media's cameras are all aimed at the star players of both sides. Needless to say, UCLA's troika of Westbrook, Ye Feng and Love has already set off an offensive frenzy in the entire league. Compared with CAL, there is only Anderson alone, which seems a bit shabby.However, this also made the media that supported CAL focus all their shots on him alone, faintly able to compete with UCLA.

Of course, Anderson is not a very tempered person. Before the start of the game, he just kept shooting quietly from beyond the three-point line alone. His super high shooting percentage made Shipp's face wrinkle into a bitter melon.Westbrook was also taken aback. He quietly said to Ye Feng: "This is really cheating. A three-point shooter of this height can't defend the inside line. Isn't it unstoppable?"

Ye Feng said angrily: "Who said just now that he wouldn't let him shoot casually? It doesn't matter what he said, but he still has to pull me. Do you think this 2.06-meter-high man is so easy to defend? Just rely on me With the height of the two, they are directly delivering food to others!"

Westbrook scratched his head irritably, and said, "Then what do you think? It's almost impossible to pull Josh out, and neither of us is good at height, how can we guard against such a big shooter?" After finishing speaking He rolled his eyes, poked Ye Feng, and said slyly: "Why don't you switch to him more?"

Day, can you say such shameless words?Ye Feng gave Westbrook a middle finger without hesitation: "Don't even think about it, although I'm taller than you, but when it's time to change to you, you still have to go up, if someone else scores on the head, it's no wonder I ’” Westbrook smiled awkwardly and rolled away consciously.

On the sidelines of the court, Holland was still nagging and saying to Shipp: "If someone fills you up, it doesn't matter if you jump out to defend Anderson, but you must ensure that the inside line is not pulled out of space by the opponent. Your defense Although it’s not bad, but you don’t have enough experience in perimeter defense, I suggest you better not go to the perimeter, we might be able to come back on the offensive end...”

Hearing the words, Ship nodded again and again, but when he thought of being scored crazy by his opponent, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.However, as a veteran player, Shipp still took a deep breath and stood shoulder to shoulder with the other four on the court.

With a whistle, the referee threw the basketball straight into the air.With a roar, Love gave the ball to Ye Feng on the head of the opponent's 2.11-meter-tall Harding. Ye Feng handed it to Westbrook and ran towards the corner by himself.Westbrook controlled the ball with his right hand and made a gesture with his left hand. Mbah a Moute immediately pulled to the high position on the weak side and set a screen for Ye Feng.

Through the game video before, Ye Feng knew that CAL basically only relies on Anderson and Christopher, or strictly speaking, this is a team with Anderson alone, and it can be seen that the team's perimeter defense is not strong, and neither is Christopher. A strong offensive guy.So he didn't get too entangled, and directly bypassed Mbah a Moute's screen and received a pass from Westbrook.

Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly thought of Hornacek's guidance to him, so he had a whim to try.Seeing Ye Feng muttering words, he didn't pay any attention to another defensive player pounced on him, he jumped lightly and quickly threw the ball.

Ye Feng did not know how many three-pointers like this were shot on weekdays, and the hit rate was quite high. Love, who was still entangled with Harding at the basket, was full of confidence in this shot. out.In the end, there was only a "clang" sound, and the basketball hit the back edge of the basket directly, and with another bounce, it flew behind the backboard.The referee hurriedly blew his whistle to signal CAL's backcourt ball.

Immediately, the other four people in UCLA looked at Ye Feng inexplicably. Although his skin was thicker than the city wall, he also showed a hint of red, and cupped his hands repeatedly: "Mistakes, mistakes, everyone, don't pay attention to these details, anyway, it's just the first one." It shouldn’t be a big problem for the round.” But he was thinking in his heart: What a fucking dog, I used it on the court before I practiced well, I’m really out of my mind, fortunately, this is just the beginning, and it’s okay Just fool them around.

But this time it was the opponent's turn to attack, and the five UCLA players looked very serious. The first thing they had to do was to prevent Anderson from receiving the ball from the outside.When CAL point guard Randall dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Westbrook immediately pushed up, wanting to directly steal and counterattack.Randall was not weak either. He saw Westbrook's intentions, but he was not an opponent when he tried his best, so he passed the ball to Christopher.But this guy is even more tragic. He is facing Ye Feng, who is better than Westbrook in one-on-one defense. After shaking continuously, he finds that there is no way to deceive the opponent, so he has to call Anderson to come out for a pick-and-roll.

The meat is here!Ye Feng and Xipu hurriedly made eye contact, and Xipu hurriedly followed Anderson to the high position.Christopher didn't care, and directly used Anderson's cover to rush inside. Shipp constantly relied on physical contact to slow down his speed, while Ye Feng naturally switched to Anderson.This is also a last resort. If you don't switch defenses, it will be very difficult to catch up with Christopher after Ye Feng squeezes through the screen. At this time, UCLA's inside line is also very empty, and the result of the defender's breakthrough is a two-pointer.

Due to his strong shooting ability, Anderson did not roll down after finishing the screen, but pulled it beyond the three-point line. Ye Feng stood in front of him very vigilantly, preventing Christopher from passing the ball at any time.However, the cooperation between the two has not been in a day or two. When Christopher saw that he was about to fall into a double-team, he used a strange high lob to give the ball from Ye Feng's head to Anderson's hands.

"Oops!" Seeing that he failed to stop Anderson from catching the ball, Ye Feng regretted endlessly.Facing his defense, Anderson looked like a giant. He directly ignored Ye Feng's efforts to straighten his hands, tiptoed slightly, and threw the ball with a slight back.

I rub this is not a bully?So much taller than me and want to play back?Ye Feng turned his head speechlessly, watched the basketball go straight into the frame, and lamented, "Why was I the first ball?"
