Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 102 Tactics?tactics!
Ye Feng, who was exposed to NBA training for the first time, gritted his teeth and survived. In fact, he was already very tired.The fatigue of driving all night was fully stimulated by the huge amount of training, and now he just wants to find a bed and have a good sleep.Roy also saw that this rookie needed a lot of rest, so after the training, he slapped a thick tactical manual and a key in Ye Feng's hand, telling him to go to the locker room to take a shower and go to the ball. The team rented him an apartment to sleep in.Ye Feng looked at the tactical manual that was as thick as a brick in his hand, and asked with a bitter face, "Should I read all of these?" Roy nodded with a sly smile on his face.

The boss of the team nodded his head, what else can he say?Ye Feng sighed and shuffled towards the locker room.He didn't notice that his teammates behind him were suppressing their smiles.Ade asked in a low voice: "Isn't it good for us to do this? After all, he is just a newcomer." Before Roy could speak, Blake shook his head and said with a smile: "That's how we all came here back then. Besides, wouldn’t it be nice to let him feel some pressure in an unknown situation? Of course, if he really memorized everything, I would consider buying him a drink.”

Roy had already told Ye Feng the address of the apartment. It was more than half an hour's drive from the Rose Garden Stadium, and it was not that far from Portland State University.Ye Feng hurriedly went to the locker room to take a shower, packed the jersey in a bag, took his other things and left the arena.He is still very curious about where he lives, but after all, as an NBA team, he shouldn't be stingy, right?Ye Feng said to himself silently while driving the car.Soon he came to the downstairs of the apartment. The apartment arranged by the team must not be related to the grandeur, but just from the appearance, it should already be of Portland's upper-middle level.Although Ye Feng didn't care much about material conditions, he didn't mind living more comfortably.

When Ye Feng opened the door, he was more satisfied with the team's arrangement.The room is not big, but not too small. In addition to the living room, bedroom, kitchen and toilet, there is also a small balcony facing the street.Although the furnishings in the house are simple, the basic household appliances are all available, even the wireless network has been set up.For Ye Feng, the only fly in the ointment was that the bed was still empty, he couldn't roll off to sleep right away.Fortunately, there was a Wal-Mart nearby. He threw his luggage on the sofa in the living room, went out and bought the simplest three-piece bed set, and came back. After tidying up a little, he fell asleep soundly.

Ye Feng was indeed tired. The training intensity of the NBA was far from that of high school and college. After all, he could barely be considered a semi-professional player before, so it might be more appropriate to call him an amateur player.This caused him to sleep until night, and still wake up hungry.For Portland, Ye Feng is still in a state of black eyes, and he doesn't know what to call to order takeaway. He knows the number of fast food chains like McDonald's by heart, but unfortunately, it's not easy to eat secretly now. It's time to order junk food. As a professional player, you must be responsible for your body.

So Ye Feng had no choice but to go downstairs and eat something casually, of course it didn't have too much fat.After soothing his empty stomach, he simply put his luggage away, lay on the sofa and opened the team tactical manual that Roy gave him.When he saw the catalog, he was stunned. Before that, he never thought that a tactical manual would be so detailed. Even a frontcourt baseline serve would be derived into dozens of different coordinations.He swallowed, and decided to read from the beginning, pretending not to see the long list of daunting contents.

The biggest feature of the tactical manual is that there are many pictures and few words. Generally speaking, the text is only a general summary of the tactical routine. Specifically, players need to simulate in their minds according to the given tactical diagram.Ye Feng didn't intend to rush through the matter, although he should be able to quickly browse through the entire tactical manual if he only looked at the pictures, but his character does not allow him to be perfunctory like this.Every time he looks at a tactic, he will substitute it according to the team's player list, and then put himself in the third position, thinking about how he and his teammates should run this tactic, and how to adapt if they encounter the opponent's defense .

He has always been doing this, and this good habit is due to Ye Ning's teaching.Ye Feng is very interested in NBA team game videos, Ye Ning often watches the videos with him, but just watching the videos is not enough, Ye Ning will also give him "homework", the topic is the team's certain round Analyzing the tactics requires Ye Feng to replay in his mind based on the content of the video.So now, facing such a thick tactical manual, he didn't intend to be perfunctory. Instead, he tried his best to substitute reality for simulation, which made the speed much slower, and ended up falling asleep accidentally.

This sleep lasted until the next morning, Ye Feng opened his hazy sleepy eyes only when the phone's alarm clock rang.Seeing that it was past seven o'clock, Ye Feng quickly packed up and rushed to the training hall.Before leaving, he took the tactical manual and planned to read it for a while between training sessions.When he came to the locker room, Roy asked loudly: "Hey, rookie, have you finished reading the tactical manual?" , It's a pity that I fell asleep watching it last night, probably watched a third of it, and I will try my best to finish watching the rest in the next few days."

"One-third? Dude, I only watched one-third last year!" Oden yelled beside him.He consciously regarded himself as a rookie in the same class as Ye Feng, so he didn't guess the "conspiracy" of the old players.Hearing Ye Feng say that he read one-third of it in one night, he was indeed frightened. He felt that he was serious about reading the tactics manual at that time. How could Ye Feng's speed be so fast?Did he just flip through it casually?The others looked at each other and signaled Blake to ask questions with their eyes. Although Roy is the captain of the team, when it comes to familiarity with tactics, Blake, the point guard, is the best.

Blake briefly recalled the content of the tactics manual, and picked three or four tactics from the first third to test Ye Feng.Unexpectedly, Ye Feng thought for a while, and quickly said how to move the tactical name of Blake newspaper, and added some of his own opinions.Everyone's complexion changed. Like Auden, they all thought that Ye Feng was just skimming through the tactical manual. In fact, they might only have a little vague impression.But Ye Feng's performance was far beyond their expectations, obviously he had read it seriously and was not just putting on airs.

After Blake finished asking questions, Ye Feng had his own doubts that needed to be answered by his teammates.He asked curiously: "To tell you the truth, I was really taken aback when I saw the contents of the tactical manual. Do we use so many tactics in normal games? If you all use the entire manual I have memorized it, so just pretend that I didn’t say it. Anyway, I think memorizing tactics is a very painful thing, which is why I fell asleep watching it last night. It’s hard for me to imagine how the coaching staff wrote such a thing. A tactical manual, it feels like it can be used as a brick to knock others out."

After hearing Ye Feng's question, everyone roared with laughter, and Ade couldn't even straighten his back from laughing.It is the captain's duty to answer this kind of question. Roy said with a smile: "Of course the coaches have to consider all possible situations, so they will design different tactics according to different situations. However, the situation on the field is changing rapidly. , we don’t need to play rigidly according to the tactical arrangements. In fact, for us, the tactics can be very complicated or very simple. In fact, when we play, we rely on sudden points, pick-and-rolls, pulls, etc. to play teamwork. If you need individual singles, it will be even easier. Our principle is that whoever holds the ball can play, and pass the ball when you see a teammate who is open. It’s good to be familiar with the tactical manual. The level of Coach McMillan Still high."

Ye Feng suddenly realized, he asked: "That is to say, each of you only know a little bit about the tactical manual, and you are not familiar or even proficient at all?" Ade laughed: "You just know? Maybe only rookies like you who are new to the team plan to memorize the entire manual." Ye Feng heaved a sigh of relief: "Now I feel relieved, I thought I had to memorize the entire manual. , It's okay. It's not impossible to memorize it, but I guess it will take a long time. This is one of the best news I've heard."

Roy patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "But even so, you still have to read the tactical manual carefully, buddy, otherwise I'm afraid you will be scolded bloody by the coach in the team's official training session. But Judging from the situation Steve inspected just now, you are still very serious about tactics. If you continue to maintain this attitude, there will be no problem. If you don’t understand anything about tactics, just ask us directly. Wait until the team After the official assembly, you can also ask the coach. In addition, you can also verify some of your ideas during tactical training, which will also allow you to better understand the team’s tactical intentions.”

Ye Feng nodded. He naturally knew that his teammates' statements were not the reason for his casual attitude. Although the pressure was reduced, he would continue to study the team's tactical manual carefully.Roy clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, get ready for tactical training later!"
