The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 20 [Lucky bastard]

Divac's assessment of Ye Feng will directly affect his playing time with the Lakers.Ye Feng trained according to Divac's requirements. He could shoot as much as he wanted, but he had to use shots to score. As a result, he frequently hit iron on the offensive end.

After training, he will also practice 500 high mid-range shots.

After five days of devil training, Ye Feng began to learn to use jump shots to solve problems in the game. The main point of shooting is to relax the body, grasp the sense of rhythm, and use the senses of the whole body instead of just paying attention to the wrist.If you shoot more and let go, your hit rate will naturally increase.Divac is very satisfied with his progress. If he is emptied, he has a certain degree of confidence in the high shot after the pick-and-roll.

After synthesizing the characteristics of Ye Feng, Divac suggested that he practice turning around and shooting with one hand at the two bottom corners, using hooks or throws.His forearms are very long and his hands are big. He can hold the basketball firmly. He does not need assistance for one-handed shooting. Very soft. "Shark" O'Neal is good at shooting like this.

O'Neal is the only one of the four major centers who only lives in the low post. His offensive methods are somewhat single, but he is also the strongest of the four major centers, and he was unstoppable at his peak.Ye Feng is two meters tall, and his body is not as strong as O'Neal's, but he turns fast and bounces well. As long as he is familiar with O'Neal's moves, it is not easy to block his shots. thing.

One-handed shots on both sides of the low post, and high mid-range shots will become Ye Feng's conventional weapons.After Ye Feng found the trick, he was able to easily make a turnaround jumper, but it's a pity that this kind of attack can only be staged, and he only scored two out of 10 shots.

On the defensive end, Ye Feng has also improved, mainly because of his rebounding.Back then, Divac relied on skill and consciousness to grab rebounds. He believed that as long as Ye Feng could master the skills, he would be able to grab rebounds, at least not worse than him.

Anyone who has played basketball knows the secret of rebounding.The first is to occupy a favorable position.Positioning is the key to rebounding, getting your body closer to the basket than your opponent before the ball bounces off and trapping it behind you.The card position needs to have a strong body as the foundation.Ye Feng has this advantage.

The second is to predict the trajectory of the basketball, which Ye Feng did very badly.In order to explain to him, Divac missed shots from all angles and let him judge.

Generally speaking, the falling direction of the ball is related to the shooting angle.Divac is a good assistant coach, he is like a data expert, summed up a complete set of experience.When shooting at a 45-degree angle, most balls bounce to the opposite 45-degree angle, or bounce back to the same side of the field.When shooting in the middle area, the vast majority land on the front of the basket.When shooting at a zero-degree angle, part of the ball bounces to the opposite zero-degree angle, and the other balls bounce back to the same area or the middle area. If the arc of the shot is high, the rebound of the ball is also high, and the landing point is closer.Wiping the backboard and shooting, the rebound force is small, and the ball lands closer.

The third key point of rebounding is to use the jumping technique reasonably.It is necessary to observe carefully and judge accurately, the purpose is to create conditions for a timely take-off.In the game, the methods of take-off include single-foot take-off, run-up take-off and double-foot take-off. The quality of take-off time distribution will seriously affect the timing of rebounding.Divac instructed Ye Feng to try to take off with both feet and land with both feet.Rushing for rebounds is very passionate and beautiful, but it is more likely to be injured. If you land on one foot, you will die miserably if you step on someone's foot.

In addition, to grab rebounds, you must have a good sense of grabbing the ball.When the athlete's body vacates to the highest point, it is necessary to maintain the balance and stability of the body, and overcome the opposing force of the ball and the opponent. Hold the ball with fingers, clasp the wrist with a swing of the arm, and quickly bend the arm to pull the ball back to the chest to control the ball.The protection after grabbing the ball is also very important. After the body falls to the ground, it is necessary to maintain the balance of the body, embrace the ball with both hands, hold it tightly, observe and find partners while holding the ball with the body, and choose to pass the ball or make a tip-up by yourself.

Finally, dial, poke, and pick.When you are in an unfavorable position to grab rebounds, you must rely on your judgment to move flexibly, rush to grab rebounds, and use the methods of dialing, stabbing, and picking to get the ball within your own control.

When the Lakers were training, Divac felt that Ye Feng's ability to grab rebounds was good, and now he has improved. In the training game of the Defenders, as long as he doesn't defend, he can control a lot of backcourt rebounds.Divac believes that as long as he plays enough minutes, he may be ranked first in the league in rebounding.

The first game of NBDL is about to start, and the whole team has a day off.The amount of training here is not large. Whether to practice more or not depends on the player's self-consciousness, and the coach will not supervise.In order to be able to play in the NBA as soon as possible, young players often choose to practice extra and apply to live in the team dormitory.

For special training, Ye Feng also applied for the dormitory of the Defenders. He lived and ate in the arena, and got to know his teammates well.Ever since he reported to the Defenders, Ye Feng has entered into a closed state, only occasionally talking on the phone with Gabriela.The Lakers teammates were busy flying away games and had no time to contact him.Ye Feng took the initiative to call his teammates to congratulate them on their victory.

Since the start of the game, the Lakers have achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, only losing to the Magic on the road. "Warcraft" Howard severely cleaned up Bynum, and almost cried Bynum after the game.

Although he was on vacation, there were many people practicing extra training. Ye Feng also went to the arena to practice shooting.When he leaves the Development League, he has plenty of time to rest, and usually gets a few minutes of playing time, which doesn't waste his energy at all.

Ye Feng felt good today, he hit 13 consecutive high jump shots, which was his record for consecutive goals.After he finished the 500-pitch practice and wiped his sweat with a towel, he found a familiar figure standing beside the court.Ariel was wearing a black leather jacket, black leather boots and high heels, and waving at him with sunglasses. This look looked like a spy in a movie.

"Why are you here?" Ye Feng almost didn't recognize him, he thought Gabriela should really learn how to dress up with Ariel, this look seems to be very suitable for American action movies.

Ariel smiled and said: "It's rare that you can still recognize me. I called you several times, and you said you were training. If I don't come, will you talk to me?"

Ye Feng recognized him because he didn't have many friends of the opposite sex. He said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I really need a lot of practice in order to return to the Lakers as soon as possible. Didn't go out to see you, are you angry? You came to ask me for a crime, right?"

Ariel shook her head and said with a smile: "I was a little depressed at first, and felt that you were too arrogant. But after I came here and watched you practice for a while, I decided to forgive you. Do you only have basketball in your eyes? I Standing under the basket for a while, you didn't see me."

Ye Feng really didn't see it, he was always thinking about how to shoot more accurately, how to make the movement of dribbling and turning to make jump shots more smoothly.

Ariel went on to say: "You don't need to continue practicing, right? I have something to discuss with you, so you go wash and change your clothes and go out with me. I've made it clear that the team is on holiday today, and you came here to practice on your own initiative. "

"Okay." The beauty took the initiative to run to the arena to look for him, but Ye Feng was too embarrassed to refuse.He changed his clothes, left the arena with Ariel, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the store first, and when I'm done shopping, I'll tell you something important." Ariel smiled and said, "I need your help. Let me ask you a question. Do you like the English girl you live with?"

"How do you know that I'm living with someone? Are you investigating me?" In the United States, private detectives are common occupations. Rich people can hire them to investigate the information they want, take photos secretly, and so on.

Ariel smiled and said, "Well, I didn't expect you to live with a beautiful woman. I know she's not your girlfriend yet. Do you like her?"

"It's just a roommate, I don't want to develop further with her for the time being." Ye Feng sighed, in his previous life he always followed other people's buttocks to take pictures, now the retribution came. "If you want to know something, there's no need to check on me, just ask. It's not something a friend should do to investigate behind the scenes."

Ariel took off her sunglasses, looked into his eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, if I'm worried about asking, you might hide something from me. It's better to clarify some things. I have to make sure that you are suitable to help me." That person. I also found someone to investigate your previous situation. It's strange. Before you were struck by lightning, you were an introverted person. You never found a girlfriend. Fighting was commonplace. You were cold, not talkative, and had few friends. The relationship with your teammates is also not good. After being struck by lightning, your temperament changed drastically, you became more laughable, and you were good at communicating with others. You got a trial training opportunity by becoming friends with Bynum, and then looked for a house near Los Angeles, and Gabe Rila moved into the apartment on the same day. She is also very popular in the team, and usually has contacts with USC students, but she still hasn’t found a girlfriend. Is that the case?”

"It's too comprehensive. Can I ask, what do you want me to do for you? Why do you want to check my past?" Ye Feng smiled wryly.

"Go shopping first, get in the car."

Ariel started the silver-blue Audi R8, and quickly left the arena with a flick.

The two went into the nearby shopping mall, but Ariel didn't buy anything for herself, but took Ye Feng to the men's clothing department, carefully helped him choose clothes, and let him try on.

The waiters looked at Ye Feng with weird expressions on their faces, and one man even muttered "this lucky bastard" in a low voice.Ye Feng felt like a little boy covered by a rich woman, looked at Ai Lier and smiled wryly, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"I won't hurt you, that's how I treat my friends, don't be polite." Ariel sat on the side, crossed her legs and smiled.

Ye Feng had no choice but to try on a few sets of clothes. He has broad shoulders and a thin waist.Ariel applauded in satisfaction, and said to the clerk next to her, "Very well, wrap up all these clothes."

Ye Feng stopped Ariel before she swiped her card, pulled her aside, and said lightly: "I'm an athlete, I'm not interested in wearing these clothes. Tell me what you want to do now, or I'll leave right now."

Ariel looked at him and said solemnly: "Okay, listen up...I want you to be my boyfriend!"

"Nani?!"
