Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 16 Do you have a solution?

In the cafeteria of UCLA University, Westbrook ate his food and said bitterly: "That Nizel simply didn't pay attention to us, and dared to say that I'm weak? Isn't it just a warm-up match? Is that all? If we win, we act as if we won the championship."

Ye Feng shrugged and said: "But we must admit that what he said is correct, Russell, we can't go on like this, tacit understanding is easy to talk about, just because we have nothing to do every day, eat together and play together, it will be sooner or later to cultivate a tacit understanding matter. But one thing is very important, how should we cooperate with each other?"

Westbrook rolled his eyes: "You ask me this? I'm sure there's nothing good to do. It would be great if there was one more ball on the court, and the two of us suddenly died in the opposite backcourt."

Ye Feng tapped the bowl with his fork in dissatisfaction: "Russell, as the captain of a strong NCAA team, can you be more nonsense? Believe it or not, if I spread your words, the coach will probably find him tonight." Are you 'chatting'?" Westbrook touched his head and said with a smile: "Isn't this just a joke, let's relax?"

Ye Feng was completely speechless towards his captain, he thought to himself: Damn, such an unreliable person can still be the captain?No wonder the team started the singles mode as soon as he came on the court... Sigh, we don't know how to cooperate between the two of us. Could it be that I came here to destroy the team's chemistry?
He quickly shook his head to get the thought out of his head: Bah, bah, bah, I'm here to win the NCAA championship, what's wrong with the bad chemistry?This is just the beginning, and there is still time to get used to it, but in terms of tactics, we still need to think carefully about whether there is a more mature system that can be used for reference...

Ye Feng returned to the dormitory after dinner.Since entering school, he has never put almost all his energy on basketball like the rest of the team. In his opinion, his studies are equally important, but fortunately there is no homework today, so he has a lot of time to think The problem between himself and Westbrook.

Seeing Ye Feng sitting there motionless, Lu Fu felt very strange, he waved his hand in front of Ye Feng, Ye Feng came back to his senses, and smiled apologetically at him.Love asked curiously: "Aren't you still thinking about how you and Russell can play to their respective levels?" Ye Feng said helplessly: "Of course, if you can't think of this question, UCLA's record this year is definitely not optimistic. , unless the coach asks me to come off the bench and lead the second team."

Love shook his head again and again: "It's impossible! Apart from other things, the coach will not let you play as a substitute based on your ability to attack with the ball and defend from the outside. Otherwise, it will be a waste of money. But I can't help you with your problems. I'm busy, I just need to take care of the internal affairs, but I suggest you ask a professional."

Ye Feng slapped his forehead: Why didn't I think of such a simple way?He patted Love on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have helped me a lot! If it can be done, I will treat you to dinner." Then he hurried out.Loew thought helplessly: It's as if I'm just greedy for your meal.

When Love suggested that he seek professional advice, Ye Feng's first reaction was his father.Although he hasn't played a regular game for many years, Ye Ning's knowledge has not deteriorated in the slightest. In Ye Feng's opinion, if Coach Holland can't figure it out, it is of course best to ask his father himself.

Ye Feng's home was not close to the school, but luckily he had his own car, and after driving for nearly two hours, he finally stopped in front of his home.Seeing her son coming home suddenly, Guo Yu was very surprised. She served Ye Feng supper and asked, "Xiao Feng, why are you driving home so late? Is someone bullying you at school? Tell Mom, Mom will help you find the principal."

Ye Feng couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Mom, with my body, does anyone dare to bully me? But I really have something very important to ask my dad when I come back this time. Is he at home?" "Your dad is reading in the study. You can just go there. Remember to come over for supper after the meeting, and go to school tomorrow morning."

Ye Feng nodded, gave her a hug, turned around and walked towards the study.Before he could knock on the door, Ye Ning said loudly from inside: "What's the matter you have to go home late at night? Come in and talk about it!" Ye Feng pushed open the door politely, only to see Ye Ning sitting in front of the computer , Watching the video carefully, it seems to be a game in the 80s and [-]s of the last century from a distance.

Seeing Ye Feng sitting on the sofa honestly and unceremoniously, Ye Ning shook his head, paused the video, and said, "Now I came back and asked me something, is it related to your team? Is it the first warm-up match?" Lost to find comfort?"

"Am I such a fragile person? Still looking for comfort... But how do you know that we lost the first warm-up match?"

Ye Ning sneered at this question: "After all, you are also the most famous NCAA team in Los Angeles, okay? You don't know the enthusiasm of Americans for the NCAA. Even if it's just a warm-up match, once you lose, all the media in Los Angeles will explode. .Tell me, what went wrong?"

"Now I am assigned to play shooting guard by the coach, but the point guard of our team is the one who I told you before is strong in breakthroughs and poor in shooting. We have no cooperation on the court. A tacit understanding can be cultivated, but no one can I think it is difficult to make waves in the NCAA with such an effective system."

Ye Ning sighed: "I should be blamed for this. You have attacked too much with the ball since you were a child. It is not that you can't score without the ball, but your organizational support is all wasted. And this time your partner is still a I don’t know how to play point guards without the ball, so it’s a bit difficult.” He thought for a while, then suddenly asked, “Can you ask your coach to change your partner?”

"Dad, I'm the captain of the team now. I'm just a rookie who just entered school. If I tell the coach to change partners, I will be reduced to a substitute in nine out of ten. And his defense is really good. I have the confidence to play against him." Forming the most defensive perimeter iron gate in the entire NCAA, it is likely that the two of us will determine how far UCLA can go in the league."

Touching his stubble-covered chin, Ye Ning said slowly: "Captain of the team, it's a bit difficult. How can my Ye Ning's son be a substitute? By the way, Xiaofeng, tell the truth, Do you really want to fight alongside him or do you have to overwhelm him?" Ye Feng said without hesitation: "Dad, the backcourt combination between me and him determines the upper limit of the team, and what's the point of pressing him to show off? ? Wins and championships are the most important thing.”

Ye Ning laughed loudly and said, "My boy, I didn't teach you wrong. In the future, you will meet all kinds of teammates. Their technical characteristics cannot completely match your style of play. At this time, you must learn to compromise. After all, basketball is a five-way game." Personal competition..." Ye Feng quickly interrupted his long speech: "Dad, let's put aside the matter of ideological education, I came back mainly to ask if you have any tactical system that is more suitable for the two of us?"

"Then let me ask you first, what is the easiest but most difficult offensive system on the basketball court?"

"Well, I think there are two types, one is the pick-and-roll, and the other is the inside-out. A slightly capable team will use these two very simple routines, but the power of the tactics largely depends on the player's ability. "

"That's right, do you think your physical fitness can handle a shooting guard above the NCAA level?"

"I think it should be possible. During the physical examination, the doctor said that I can continue to grow taller, but as far as my physical fitness has surpassed many NCAA shooting guards. But so what?" Ye Feng was still puzzled untie.

Ye Ning knocked his son's head angrily: "I put these two questions together, don't you understand? Could it be that I went to university to study for a few days and broke my head?"

Ye Feng ignored the pain, thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized: That's right!It turns out it can be like this!I can definitely make a wall for Russell, then let Shipp and Mbah a Moute go to the weak side, and leave Love at the basket to grab rebounds!Although it may not take the entire season, it is already a good start.

In the NCAA, centers seldom refer to the outside line to dislocate defensive backs. Except for zone defense, they often defend against each other.As Ye Ning reminded, since Ye Feng's physical fitness is comparable to most NCAA shooting guards and he has the possibility of continuing to grow taller, he can play pick-and-roll with Westbrook in the offense, and he can serve as a wall for his partner Take cover.Obviously, Westbrook can continue to break through to the basket under his cover, while Ye Feng can choose to go down or pull to the outside. Judging from the skills of the two of them, entering the inside at the same time will most likely make the opponent In a hurry.

The more Ye Feng thinks about it, the more feasible and powerful this plan is. The most important thing is that it is simple. There is not much time before the start of the new season. It is impossible for them to learn such a complicated tactical system all at once. Such a variant pick-and-roll is the most suitable current situation.

He asked curiously: "Dad, how did you think of this?" Ye Feng snorted: "You don't have to worry about it, go and try the effect first!" He would not tell Ye Feng that he had already I went to watch the game between them and Michigan State University, and saw the problem between my son and the team's point guard, so I kept looking up various books i, and also tried to find inspiration through the game videos of the last century.

Ye Feng slept at home that night, and the next morning, he didn't even eat breakfast, and drove back to school directly.In the cafeteria, Ye Feng successfully found Westbrook who was eating a sandwich sleepily.

"Russell, do you remember that bastard named Nizel?"

"Nonsense, I knew him even in Ashes, yet dared to say that our backcourt combination is weak, next time we meet him he will die!"

"Don't talk big, the problem between the two of us hasn't been resolved yet!"

Westbrook smiled awkwardly and whispered, "I'm cheering myself on."

"We will meet them again this season, Russell, do you want to humiliate them severely the next time we meet and prove that we are the strongest combination?"

"Of course I want to, but..." Westbrook's eyes widened, "Do you have a solution?"

"Isn't this a discussion with you?" Ye Feng grinned.
