Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 52 Who is stronger?
Love and Beasley are really good opponents and good talents. Players on both sides also frequently hand the ball into their hands, and then open up space for them to play one-on-one.Beasley likes this method very much, because he has always been a ball bully. Although he is only a freshman, who makes him the strongest in the entire Wildcat team?In his view, he deserved so much possession of the ball, and his teammates didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But Love is different. The Bruins have always been known for their scattered scoring points. Although he, Westbrook and Ye Feng accounted for more than 70% of the team's shots, they would still not hesitate when their teammates were vacant. Pass the ball to someone in a better position.Such a team atmosphere has enabled Loew to develop high-level support skills. Although his vision and passing ability on the court are not as good as the two starting backcourts, as a transfer station, his passing skills have already improved. enough.

Taking advantage of a dead ball, Love walked up to Westbrook and whispered, "Russell, I need your help." Westbrook widened his eyes and asked incredulously, "What's wrong? You and Didn’t Beasley play back and forth? If you continue to do this, you’ll be fine?” Love shook his head and insisted: “Basketball is a five-person sport, and it must be fun to play one-on-one. That said, I can indeed hold my own against Beasley, but that's not the way our team plays. So please run, and I'll support you in the high post."

Westbrook still couldn't believe his ears. He asked, "Aren't you going to compete for the honor of being the No. Go up a little bit more." Love said with a smile: "I think about it very clearly, what is the NCAA No. [-] center? As long as the team wins, what honor can't be won? What's more, I only want the championship. These false names Whoever wants to take it!"

What else Westbrook wanted to say, a voice sounded behind him: "Russell, let Kevin play in his own way, there is no need to always be singled out with Beasley. For that guy, singled out It is his safest way to score. Few of his teammates can watch it, but Kevin is different. Kevin still has us, and isn’t high position support also his unique skill? Beasley wants to play one-on-one , we'll exhaust him to death with interspersed running."

The two looked back, Ye Feng was looking at them with a smile.Although Ye Feng's words made sense, Westbrook couldn't help but retort: ​​"Ye, Kevin and Beasley have already formed a mutual explosion situation, and no one can guard against the other. Will he be blown away by Beasley if the high position supports him? Besides, didn’t we agree to help Kevin become the number one center in the league?” Ye Feng said helplessly: “If you think about it this way, letting Kevin support is for him. Save energy, if the Wildcats only rely on Beasley to work alone, sooner or later they will be exhausted, and at that time, wouldn’t it be easier and more enjoyable to teach him?”

Hearing that two friends were "calculating" how to deal with Beasley, Love's eyes were moist. He didn't expect that his teammates had always wanted to help him become the No. [-] center in the NCAA.He held Ye Feng and Westbrook's shoulders with his left and right hands respectively, and said firmly: "Ye, Russell, thank you, I hope to use my skills to toughen Beasley, and high-level support is not my skill." One of them? Besides, he is a defensive black hole, as long as you get rid of your defender, you will definitely score easily." The three smiled at each other, and looked at Beasley, who was waiting under his basket with ill intentions. The reader felt hairy for a while.

In the next round, Loew didn't get stuck in the three-second zone, but stood near the free throw line and asked for the ball.Beasley, who was defending him, didn't think much about it. He just thought that Love just wanted to beat himself in his own way.Self-esteemed, he snorts: It’s fine if you hit me with your back in the low post, and I admit that my footsteps are not as good as yours, but you dare to ask for the ball in the high post, is it possible that you will have to break through the frame later?Don't be funny, okay?When the time comes, I'll break the ball directly, so don't blame me, it's all your own fault!

Love didn't guess what Beasley was thinking. If he knew, he might just laugh out loud on the court. How good does this guy feel about himself?Steal me?Just wait and cry!But in Beasley's view, everything is going according to the script envisioned in his mind: Love catches the ball, turns to face the frame, protects the ball, and lowers his center of gravity... Eh?Why didn't this guy lower his center of gravity?Do you really know how to play?

Beasley was puzzled by Loew's lack of a breakthrough posture after catching the ball, but he quickly attributed this to the fact that the opponent was afraid of his own defense and dared not attack, so he could only wait for the opportunity in place.Of course, he habitually didn't look at his teammates. If he even glanced at it, he would guess that this time the Bruins' offense was definitely not Loew's individual singles. Which team have you ever seen when a star is singled out? Are the other players trying to get to the basket?

In order to save energy, Ye Feng and Westbrook didn't directly charge in against their defenders, but asked Shipp and Mbah a Moute to come up and make an off-ball screen respectively.The Wildcats' tactic has always been to switch defenses when they encounter a screen. Now it has become Westbrook vs. Walker, and Ye Feng vs. Gilbert.The two members of the Wildcats still wanted to use their bodies to block the position directly, but it was very easy to play big when holding the ball, not to mention that the backcourt combination of Westbrook and Ye Feng was still without the ball. Turn around and leave Walker and Gilbert behind, and go straight to the basket from a 45-degree angle from left to right.

Both Ye Feng and Westbrook have very high golf quotients, and the kind of stupid things that hinder each other's progress will never happen to them.Before calling the screen, the two had exchanged eye contact. Westbrook first entered the inside lane from the left to attract Beasley's attention, and then Ye Feng entered the three-second zone from the right when Beasley returned to defense, hitting the opponent. One was caught off guard.

Of course, they didn't discuss this little tactic with Love, because they trusted the big man's passing ability very much, and this double-screen cut-in tactic was not unheard of in the training session. Although it was not many times, Love You can tell what they think at a glance.The reason why Westbrook went first and then it was Ye Feng's turn was mainly because Ye Feng's creative ability is still higher than Westbrook's. Although he is only a shooting guard, if there are some variables, everyone still feels that the ball Ye Feng's hand is more reassuring.

I have to say that it makes sense to call Beasley a defensive black hole. If the rest of the Wildcats didn't rush him back to the defense, it is estimated that he would still be competing with Love near the free throw line.Even so, Beasley was still lazy when he returned to defense, which made Coach Martin frown on the sidelines.Since Westbrook rushed into the three-second zone first, Beasley focused entirely on how to block the small guard.He really doesn't like defense, but he thinks the basket is his own territory, and he doesn't allow others to act wild here.

But Westbrook turned around directly under high-speed movement with his strong physical coordination ability, and bypassed Beasley.Beasley was taken aback for a moment, and followed up again relying on his moving speed far exceeding the average inside line.This gave Ye Feng a chance, but because he had to make room for Westbrook, he had already reached the bottom line on the right side of the basket.Without Beasley, no one on the Wildcats could stop Love from passing the ball. The basketball accurately pierced through the Wildcats' defense and landed directly in Ye Feng's hands.Startled, Beasley quickly turned around and rushed towards Ye Feng. Ye Feng, who was in a dangerous position, was like a huge magnet, attracting the players of the Wildcats to rush up one after another.

After attracting the defense of Beasley and Gilbert, Ye Feng shook his hand, and the basketball flew from inside to outside. At some point, Love moved to the weak side, standing inside the three-point line and making a good catch preparation.This position is beyond the reach of the Wildcats' inside line, and Ye Feng's pass is very concealed, almost passing the ball out of their blind spot.When Beasley and Gilbert found that Ye Feng's hands were empty, Love had already firmly caught the ball in his hands, and there was no one within two steps in front of him. This was an extremely huge space!

Love, who has long-distance shooting ability, will naturally not let go of this great opportunity, not to mention that his teammates create enough time for him to aim, and he is not afraid of being defended at all, so his shot does not appear to be hasty. "Shua!" A large two-pointer, the basketball fell steadily into the basket.Although the end point of this attack is still Love, it is completely different from the previous rounds. The Bruins finally started to play their own tactical system. Of course, for other players, no matter what method is used, it can help Love. It is enough to refresh the data, and teamwork is undoubtedly the most labor-saving.

Seeing the Bruins players hugging and high-fiving each other, Beasley had a complicated expression, like envy and disdain.He has always been the team's top scorer, and his teammates always pass the ball to him to let him end the offense, which makes his statistics quite good regardless of winning or losing, and he always believes that this is what he should go the way. In this game between UCLA and Kansas State University, the "NCAA No. 1 center battle" is a good gimmick. Beasley himself also thinks that this is the best time for him to become No.[-]. He originally planned to fight the whole game. Loew singled out.

But now the opponent has changed his style of play first. This is simply an insult to the title of the No. [-] center forward, but why do I envy him?Are my previous thoughts wrong?Looking at the Bruins players returning to their own half, Beasley suddenly felt that he was alone.
