The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 464 [One-on-one with the rookies]

If you want to know what level your new teammates are, the best way is to fight them.These rookies knew that it was difficult to get ahead in the defending champion team, so they all gave up their vacations and trained hard in the arena.

After the end of last season, "Ladder" Troy Jackson retired, leaving three assistant coaches. "Yunti" was not in good health, and the doctor said that he could no longer exercise strenuously due to his condition, and his huge weight brought him the risk of sudden death.He must lose weight for health, so now he goes to a weight loss center in Los Angeles for recuperation.

Mahon and Mutombo are responsible for teaching new insiders, and Hardaway is urging two outside players to train.The expenses are all paid by the Clippers, and it is rare for a rookie to have this kind of treatment, which also shows how much the Clippers value them.

Seeing Ye Feng and Ai Lier came together, Ma Hong waved his hand and said, "Boss, are you here to see the training results?"

Ye Feng nodded and said with a smile: "Yeah, by the way, let's compete with them. It would be better if I come as a training partner, right?"

After coming to Los Angeles, the rookies met Ye Feng several times, but they hadn't practiced together yet.The three-time MVP is willing to give up his vacation to practice, and everyone is very excited.

After saying hello, Ye Feng immediately went off to warm up, Ariel sat on the sidelines and watched, Ye Feng was very bored practicing by himself at home, he was overwhelmed.Now he fully understands why Jordan would come back after retiring twice.If you don't play against others, you will feel less. Basketball is an addictive competitive sport.

After warming up, Ye Feng asked: "Who will come first? One-on-one with 10 goals, one person will score five."

"I'll do it." Harrison Barnes raised his hand, he is the most confident in heads-up.Although he is the No. 7 rookie, he thinks he should be more advanced.

Ye Feng passed the ball to Harrison, stood one step in front of him, and said with a smile: "Come on!"

For the past two years, Harrison has been fantasizing that one day he can match up with Ye Feng and score in front of the best players.Now that he is a teammate, he feels so lucky. He can often practice against MVP, and he must have benefited a lot and made rapid progress.

Ye Feng wanted to see their strength, so he didn't intend to keep his hand.

Harrison holds the ball in his left hand, with his left shoulder protruding forward, Ye Feng moves in small steps, Harrison dribbles the ball from his crotch to his right hand and quickly changes direction, his first step is quick, but the fake action is not realistic enough, Ye Feng judged it very well Accurate, blocked the breakthrough route, and at the same time cut to the ball with his left hand, Harrison quickly turned around to protect the basketball, Ye Feng stepped forward to get close to him, Harrison's back and body problem immediately became apparent.

In college, Harrison could bully many people with his physical fitness, but he couldn't squeeze Ye Feng.If he can still pass the ball in the game, now he can only rely on himself in a one-on-one match.Harrison handed the ball to his left hand and quickly turned to the right. Ye Feng followed in small steps, keeping a distance from the side.At a 45-degree angle to the left, Harrison made an emergency stop and made a jump shot without a feint. This is a one-on-one match.

Harrison shot very resolutely, Ye Fenggai was even more resolute, jumped up and slapped the ball down.The first attack was to block the shot, which shocked the three watching. Compared with single-handedly, Harrison was already the strongest among them. The two-time best defensive player in the NBA really deserved his reputation.

None of the three coaches were surprised. Ye Feng was always serious about going heads-up in the team. He played with Josh Smith, who loves heads-up, for 4 years, so the experience can be imagined.James and Ye Feng can't get any cheap one-on-one. He can become the best defensive player because of his perimeter defense and tightness. If Harrison can score easily, he is too strong. He should enter the All-NBA in his first year star.

Ye Feng stood on the outside, smiled and said: "It's my turn."

"Come on." Harrison was blocked, and his momentum remained undiminished.

Ye Feng took the ball and dribbled it from the outside. He also held the ball in his left hand, and quickly changed directions with his right hand. It was exactly the same as Harrison's movement just now. He knew that Harrison's speed was not slow, so he wanted to see his judgment. Harry Sen kept up with this action, Ye Feng dribbled the ball behind his right hand to his left hand, changed direction and entered the three-point line from the left, Harrison also followed, and the outside defense was good.

Ye Feng moved to the low position on the left side, and squeezed three times with his back.Harrison is 203cm tall, but weighs only 94kg. Even if it is all muscle, the tonnage is still at a disadvantage.Ye Feng knocked him away, turned around and went to the basket, and hit the board easily.

The ball was given to Harrison again, Ye Feng said: "Show me your full strength!"

Harrison did not disappoint Ye Feng. He showed his skillful dribbling skills in a face-to-face attack. He continuously dribbled the ball from the right side and entered the three-point line. It's gone, and it's changed to cover the eyes for defense.Harrison has a textbook jump shot, which is his strength and weakness.He had an advantage in college, he was used to jumping to the highest point before making a shot, which gave Ye Feng time to close his eyes, and the ball went wide.

Ye Feng attacked again, using the same method, hitting Harrison with his back, squeezing to the basket and scoring easily.

The two scored 5 goals each, and the result was 5-0. Harrison missed a goal, and Ye Feng made all 5 shots.

After seeing the fifth goal scored, Harrison was a little disappointed in himself and shook his head.

Ma Hong said from the side: "Harrison, have you seen your shortcomings? You can't become a star at your current level in the NBA. You can create opportunities, but the offensive rhythm is single, with too few methods, and you always jump. Take the shot at the highest point. Even if the opponent can’t block it, they can block your eyes and interfere with your shooting. If you encounter a player who is as fast as you, tall and long, you must change your style of play. You can defend the outside line, but if you are misplaced You can’t defend yourself if you’re not stable. I’m not saying you can’t, don’t give up on yourself, it’s just that when you meet someone with speed and strength, such as Josh Smith, he can definitely keep up with you and lower your stance like a leaf. Hit rate, there are quite a few people like this in the league. You have a future, so work hard!"

"Yes! I will work hard." Harrison also knew that he could not be Ye Feng's opponent, he looked at Ye Feng, and said seriously: "Can I fight you one-on-one often in the future?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "That's necessary. Every time I train, I find someone to single out. Smith and I have been fighting for four years, and our skills have been developed in this way. If you can score a lot in front of me, you will be able to win in the future." You will definitely be an All-Star. You have a high opinion of this year's rookies, so you must show it."

After just playing for a while, the four rookies were convinced. Harrison Barnes is not a simple No. 7 rookie.As early as last year, he has attracted a lot of attention. Some people say that he is like Ray Allen, and some people think that he is the next Kobe, and he may also be unique.Scouts believe that according to Harrison's future development, if he is more inclined to attack with the ball, he may be a Grant Hill with better shooting, and if he prefers to play without the ball, he may be a more powerful Luol Deng.If he participated in the draft last year, experts predict that he will compete with Irving for the No. 2011 pick in the 2011 draft.But before the draft, Harrison announced that he would stay in school and would not participate in the [-] NBA draft.In the second season of college, he took too many jump shots and lowered his evaluation, which made him drop to seventh place. The level of this year's draft is obviously higher than the previous one.

There is still a big gap between Harrison and Ye Feng, but he has one advantage, he is a good person who is easy to communicate with, and a good student who works hard. Such a good personality is rare.In general, Harrison is the kind of low-risk and high-reward unworldly wizard. If the Warriors didn't like Curry too much, they wouldn't change it.

Ye Feng and Jeremy Lamb tried one-on-one again. In terms of dribbling, Lamb is not as good as Harrison Barnes, and he is short and not fast enough. It is even more difficult to break through Ye Feng's defense. He can only shake out He made a forced shot with a little space, was also blocked by one, and missed four shots.It was easier for Ye Feng to hit him single-handedly, he didn't even need to use his body to hit the basket.

Lamb's defense depends entirely on his height and wingspan, and his ability to prevent breakthroughs is good.He has one thing in common with Stephen Curry who has already left, that is, he is too thin. If it is an opponent who is good at posting up, it is easy to beat him hard.As for defending the No. 4 player, his lateral movement speed was not fast enough. Ye Feng used his skills to create a little space and used his height advantage to overwhelm him easily. He missed a goal and scored [-] goals.

The third one to single out Ye Feng was Robert Thackeray. He still scored 5 goals alone, but instead focused on attacking in the low post. Thackeray was the tallest, but Ye Feng blocked two of them. His low post attack was nothing. The trick is to rely on the height advantage to turn around and shoot. He can do this against ordinary people, but if he can't resist Ye Feng, the height advantage will be greatly reduced.

Thackeray missed a goal, and Ye Feng hit him like a guard, scored three breakthroughs, made a low turn hook, and made a three-pointer from the outside, all of them!

Thackeray is not without his advantages. He can resist people in low post defense, his movement speed is a bit slow and barely passable, and he can shoot mid-range with a good range, but he can't shoot three-pointers. He can also help the Clippers when he goes to the high pick-and-roll and supports the offense.

In the end, it was Perry Jones and Ye Feng playing singles. Jones' low-post skills were mediocre, and he played from the outside. Even if he played the 4th position, he was also Jamison's type.He was the only one who scored under Ye Feng's defense and hit two mid-range shots.

Jones couldn't compare to Harrison Barnes in terms of quality, but he had a height advantage, and his shots were quick. As long as there was a little space, Ye Feng couldn't cover it.It is said that his template is Tracy McGrady and Durant, not to mention the number of points, but the style of play is really similar.

It's a pity that Jones' defense is not good, and he can't handle people in the low post. He is indeed a bit soft. He needs fitness and strength more than Harrison.The strength is strong, and playing in the low post is easy to increase the chance of injury. Jones is a "no-nonsense" player.If he wants to get more playing time in the new season, he must work hard on defense.
