Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 26 The First Battle of USC ([-])

Soon UCLA fans entered the field one after another, and they booed loudly towards the warming-up USC players as expected.But since they came to the enemy's territory, these players are not easy to save fuel. They responded to the opponent's booing with their middle fingers during the warm-up interval, and of course they also got shouts at a higher decibel.

Looking at the turbulent UCLA fans, everyone in the Trojans team didn't care. Occasionally, there were a few slightly pale faces, who were also freshmen and marginal figures on the team.The team leader Mayo seemed to disdain to provoke the home team fans, standing outside the three-point line and throwing the ball into the basket again and again.

The team's starting small forward Jefferson rolled his eyes and said to Mayo: "Anthony (OJ Mayo's full name is Oveton Jay Anthony Mayo), look at us now at UCLA's home court, shouldn't we be ruthless? Hit them hard?" Mayo put down the ball in his hand and asked casually: "Then what are you going to do?" Jefferson put his arms around his shoulders and said with a smile: "Anyway, the group of Bruins are also in the other half. How about you dunk a basket to frighten them?" Mayo didn't say anything, and retreated to the center line with the ball.

Seeing that Mayo was about to perform a slam dunk, everyone else in USC deliberately applauded loudly, focusing the eyes of fans and opponents on the No. 32 who was ready to go.Mayo took a deep breath, and suddenly started his whole body, dribbling the ball and rushing directly to the basket.When his left foot stepped into the three-point line, Mayo took off with all his strength, switched the ball from his right hand to his left hand in mid-air, and then turned halfway around and smashed the ball hard into the basket.

It has to be said that this is a very beautiful dunk. The drumming noise of the UCLA fans weakened a lot in an instant, and they were also shocked by this crotch-changing dunk.Of course, all of this was seen by the players of the Bruins team. They all showed unconvinced expressions on their faces, and they all looked at the two dunk maniacs in the team—Westbrook and Ye Feng. It was obvious that they wanted to You want your trump card to go up and suppress the arrogance of the opponent.

For Ye Feng, his pleasure lies in winning the game, and he doesn't want to get too involved in this kind of behavior that is no different from being aggressive.But someone didn't want to let him go, Westbrook also saw the eyes of his teammates, but this time he didn't want to show off himself, but looked at Ye Feng with malicious intentions.

Seeing Westbrook's "affectionate" eyes, Ye Feng was startled, quickly distanced himself, and said, "Russell, I solemnly tell you that I don't like men, don't look at me with those eyes "Westbrook said dumbfoundingly: "Hey, do you like men and don't care about me? I just want you to dunk a basket."

Ye Feng's eyes widened: "Please, why me? You see Mayo is the captain of USC, so we have to send a captain, right? It should be you, at worst, I'll help you by the side." Wei Sbruck put on a serious expression, he held back his smile and said, "Ye, that's not right, although Mayo is the captain, but it's you, not me, who will face him in the game later, as a shooting guard , it is very necessary for you to suppress his momentum."

Other teammates also booed: "Yes, Ye, if you win now, he might be weak when you face him later!" It will wither!" "Ye, now is a good opportunity to attack the opponent's core, don't you want to do it?"

"Stop!" Ye Feng yelled, then shook his head and said, "You guys are really watching the fun, so I'll deduct one and show it to USC to let them know that UCLA is not easy to mess with!"

Of course, he also cared about him. Love poked Ye Feng and asked worriedly: "Ye, is it really okay to waste energy playing dunks like this before the start of the game? Do you want to think about it again?" Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "Kevin , Now it is not a question of whether I dunk or not, but whether I can mobilize the emotions of us and even the fans. Since Russell pushed me out, I must dunk this basket!" Love was stunned for a moment, Also no longer persuade him.

Holding the basketball, Ye Feng thought quickly in his heart: Mayo's dunk is really good, but it's not too difficult to surpass, what kind of tricks should he use?Have!Ye Feng's eyes lit up: Just use that one!
After making up his mind, Ye Feng did not retreat to the center line like Mayo, he just stood outside the three-point line with the ball in one hand.Seeing that their own star wanted to dunk, the voices of UCLA fans became even quieter. Although they were extremely excited, they were unwilling to disturb Ye Feng's performance.Ye Feng raised his hand and threw the ball towards the backboard. With a "bang", the ball hit the backboard heavily and bounced back immediately.At this time, Ye Feng suddenly moved. He rushed straight up to the ball bounced off the backboard, jumped up with both feet and grabbed the ball in his hands. Only then did he dunk the ball into the basket neatly.

When Ye Feng landed, the entire arena seemed to be detonated, the whistles and cheers almost toppled the roof, and every fan present was flushed with excitement.This self-throwing and self-dunk 360-degree swivel dunk is far more enjoyable and difficult than Mayo's dunk. The teammates even made a five-body throw on the sideline to express their admiration for Ye Feng.

In the opposite half, the smiles on the faces of the USC players froze quickly, especially Jefferson, who encouraged Mayo to dunk, his face was as ugly as if he had eaten Xiang.Mayo finally put away his lazy gaze, looked straight at the yellow-skinned player wearing the No. 24 jersey under the basket, and a fierce fighting spirit rose in his heart.

Ye Feng was very good at not provoking, because in his opinion, this dunk is the best weapon, and we will see you on the court for any tricks.Soon the referee began to enter the arena. After checking the game ball, he blew the whistle for the official start of the game.

Despite a poor performance at home in Arizona, Love has found his form after a few days off, and this game still has him going to the jump ball with USC's Gibson.Starting with him are Westbrook, Ye Feng, Mbah a Moute and Shipp, and opposite positions one to four are Lewis, Mayo, Cunningham and Jefferson.

Although Gibson is a big man who can run and jump inside, Love miraculously took the lead on the jump ball. He rushed the ball to Mbah a Moute before Gibson, and Mbah a Moute passed the ball. The hand was passed to Westbrook, and UCLA's offense began!

In Ye Feng's heart, he still wanted to continue to play double pick-and-rolls, but the strange thing was that Westbrook sent the ball to him just after halftime.Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and looked suspiciously at Westbrook who was about to leisurely go to the bottom corner.Seeing Ye Feng's blank eyes, Westbrook smiled unkindly, pointed to Ye Feng, and raised his eyebrows wretchedly.

Seeing Mayo standing in front of him with full concentration, if Ye Feng can't guess Westbrook's plan again, he won't have to continue playing.Obviously, when he found out that USC was using man-to-man defense, Westbrook decided to give the ball to Ye Feng to single-play Mayo. He believed that with Ye Feng's skills, he could at least give Mayo some color on the scene.

Ye Feng lowered his center of gravity, firmly controlled the ball by his side, trying to find a passing route.But everyone seems to have discussed it, and they pulled away to both sides. No matter whether it is UCLA or USC, no one wants to help their teammates. This is a pure one-on-one. Either you die or I live!

Ye Feng carefully observed this new generation star who was in the same class as him, intending to find the opponent's weakness.In his opinion, Mayo has a strong body and is slightly shorter than himself.Ye Feng's height is already a bit reluctant to play a shooting guard, but Mayo did not play a point guard, which probably means that his speed will not be too fast.But if relying on speed, Mayo is likely to use physical confrontation to slow down the speed.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng smiled slightly, and the frequency of dribbling suddenly accelerated, mixed with dazzling changes in front of his body.Mayo didn't dare to be careless. During the warm-up, Ye Feng's dunk had already raised his vigilance, and his intuition told him that the young Asian in front of him was a master.At this moment, seeing Ye Feng dribbling like a storm, his whole body's muscles were tense, his attention was completely on Ye Feng's feet, as long as Ye Feng wanted to break through, his footsteps would reveal his true intentions.

Ye Feng didn't care, he took a small step forward with his left foot, Mayo quickly shifted his weight to the right to prevent Ye Feng from taking the opportunity to break through.But this was just a tentative step, Ye Feng withdrew his left foot, as if he wanted to shoot forcibly.Mayo was taken aback. He had heard from the coach that UCLA's new starting shooting guard had a very strong three-point ability, and he could still maintain a fairly high shooting percentage even in the face of defense.Before he had time to think, he hurried forward and tried to block Ye Feng's shot.

It's a pity that he didn't see the sneer at the corner of Ye Feng's mouth: This is still a fake move!But for Ye Feng, he can freely switch between true and false. If Mayo didn't pounce, he would directly shoot directly from beyond the three-point line.Of course, Mayo responded, and this round will have a different ending.

Without looking at Mayo, Ye Feng passed Mayo's level with one turn, and then started to activate.Only then did Mayo come back to his senses, he didn't have time to feel annoyed, he turned around and tried to follow Ye Feng's footsteps.But Ye Feng's previous judgment was very accurate, Mayo's speed is not his strong point, and Ye Feng who started early did not give him a chance to fight physically.

Gibson tried to return to the defense, but it was too late, and Ye Feng with the ball appeared at the basket.In order to prevent Mayo from interfering behind him or even chasing a big cap, Ye Feng chose a light backhand layup.Seeing the ball being thrown from Ye Feng's hands without any fumes, Mayo's face was already flushed. As a basketball star who rose to fame in high school, when did he suffer from such a trick?Which game did not lead the team to directly crush the opponent?But this time he kicked an iron plate!
"Shua!" The ball fell directly from the hollow of the basket.

No matter what, in the first round of the duel between the two, Ye Feng won.
