Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 60 A real failure
UCLA and the University of Memphis, two teams with the same unrestrained offense but clearly belonging to two styles, fought each other on the court. The defense of both sides seemed to be useless under the opponent's full-scale offense.The numbers on the scoreboard continued to rise, but the score never widened. The two sides took the lead alternately, but the advantage never exceeded 5 points.

Two minutes before the end of the game, the Tigers of the University of Memphis only led by 2 points. For the Bruins, such a small gap is almost non-existent.The ball was given to Ye Feng again. It's not that he didn't think about suppressing the rhythm of the game, but now they are the one behind, and they have to equalize the score before talking about other things.From the beginning of the game until now, everyone in the Tigers has seen what a super shooter is. Every time Ye Feng takes a shot from outside the three-point line, it feels like a sharp knife is pierced into their hearts.Facing the lack of major generals of the Bruins, the Tigers led by Rose had many chances to further expand the score, but as long as they got together, Ye Feng's three-pointer would suppress their momentum just right.

So at this critical moment, when they saw Ye Feng holding the ball outside the three-point line, the backcourt pair of Rose and Roberts pushed forward at the same time, wrapped Ye Feng in the middle, and wanted to steal the ball directly in one fell swoop, no matter how bad it was Ye Feng's shooting space should also be compressed. "A double team?" Ye Feng smiled slightly, and while his body was shaking, he slipped through the gap between the two like a loach.It is true that Rose's perimeter defense is quite good, but Roberts is not known for his defense, and his physical fitness is not at the same level as Rose, which invisibly drags his teammates back.

After breaking through the double-team, Ye Feng was flat in front of him, and he went to the basket without hesitation.Rose and Roberts, who were left behind by him, glanced at each other, chose to give up chasing, and switched defenses with Dozier and Taggart, asking them to attack Ye Feng again with Dorsey who was guarding the basket.Even if it was a three-person double-team, Ye Feng was not afraid at all, because the Tigers paid too much attention to him, causing the outside line to miss someone!Enrique has quietly ambushed in the bottom corner!

So the moment before the three of them joined forces, Ye Feng directly threw the ball to Enrique.Several players of the Tigers piled up on the inside were startled, and just about to rush out, they saw Love straddling their horses and blocking their route tightly.After switching defenses, the Tigers' backcourt combination was beyond their reach. They could only watch as Enrique adjusted his scope leisurely after receiving the ball, and scored a precise three-pointer to tie the score.In this round, the Bruins took a full 30 seconds.

Watching the basketball roll out of the baseline after bouncing a few times on the ground, the players of the Tigers all smiled wryly.It was obviously a rookie who started for the first time, but he dared to shoot from outside the three-point line without hesitation at this time. I don't know whether to call him courageous or hot-headed.Ross was the first to come back to his senses. He clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone cheer up, it's just that we are back on the same starting line. The last minute and a half is enough for us to win the victory!" Everyone was like a dream They woke up and nodded. Except for Taggart who stayed to serve the baseline ball, the others quickly rushed to the opponent's half, fatigue seemed to be swept away at this moment.

Rose has already had his own ideas about how to play this round.There is enough time now, there is no need to control an attack to 35 seconds, in his opinion, it is better to take a quick two-pointer first, and then see if he can stop the opponent's attack.Having made up his mind, he controlled the ball and quickly crossed the half court. Ye Feng posted it immediately, not intending to give him a chance to raid the inside.

Rose didn't care, he just stood sideways to protect the ball in place, and at the same time observed whether there was a suitable point of exit.But when Ye Feng further shortened the distance between the two, Rose suddenly moved, he directly pushed Ye Feng away with his shoulder very covertly, and left him behind in one step.You must know that DDM tactics weaken the role of the inside line in many cases, especially on the offensive end, so Rose is very good at penetrating the defense with his own ability when a single man is marking.It was the same this time. After getting rid of Ye Feng with a little movement and the first step, Rose rushed to the basket with lightning speed, and a pull-bar layup that lifted the weight easily helped the Tigers to overtake the score again.

In the next 1 minute, both sides played iron continuously, and the score continued to be maintained at 80 to 78. The numbers on the timer showed that there were only 20 seconds left before the end of the whole game, and now the pressure was on the Bruins side.However, the remaining time is enough for them to play a complete offense. In addition to ensuring the hit rate, they must also avoid mistakes. In this case, once they make a mistake, they can only adopt foul tactics, and there will be great uncertainty.

Ye Feng controlled the ball from beyond the three-point line, appearing very patient, as if they were leading now.At this time, he was doing two things at once, protecting the basketball from being intercepted by Rose, and at the same time directing his teammates to move, dragging the opponent's defense to the maximum extent.But at this critical juncture, the five players of the Tigers seemed to have exploded to their full potential, maintaining their defensive formation tightly, without giving the Bruins any chance.Ye Feng also felt a headache, he had no choice but to make a big change of direction, dodged a gap and then forcibly got rid of the defense, dribbling the ball from the wing to the inside to kill.

But the Tigers' defense was beyond his expectations. The inside line had become the most densely populated area on the entire court, and there was no room for any shot at all.As strong as Ye Feng, he could only go around the baseline and retreat to the three-point line to continue looking for opportunities.However, the time on the timer is passing bit by bit. Although the NCAA has as many as 35 seconds for an attack, there is very little time left for the Bruins.Ye Feng glanced up, the timer showed that there were only 4.5 seconds left, and Rose was still standing in front of him, trying to kill this attack in its infancy.

Ye Feng gritted his teeth, stepped forward with heavy shoulders, and raised Rose with a feint. Before he landed, he quickly jumped up and threw the ball.In order to avoid Rose's interference as much as possible, his shot also had a large recline, and he almost shot the decisive ball in a half-lying position.This time, the goddess of luck favored them. After the basketball roared and bounced on the rim, it obediently fell into the rim, 81 to 80!

At the moment of scoring the goal, the other four members of the Bruins team rushed towards Ye Feng like crazy, and played a game of stacking arhats, pushing Ye Feng to the bottom.Everyone was rubbing Ye Feng's hair in a hurry, shouting meaningless syllables.On the bench, Holland also jumped up excitedly and gave Black a high five.

But the referee stepped forward to interfere with the celebration of the five Bruins players present, indicating that the game is not over yet.Love, Shipp, Bamote, and Enrique stood up now, and pulled Ye Feng up from the floor in embarrassment.Ye Feng tidied up his messed up hairstyle, looked up, there was 0.2 seconds left on the timer, for the Tigers, the chance of winning was already very slim, so Ye Feng didn't take it seriously, just I think the referee is more serious, and I just want to watch the timer to finish the last little time.

But at this time Calipari called a timeout.Ye Feng was very puzzled: Is it still useful to call timeout at this time? 0.2 seconds, this time is too short, does the other party still want to come back?His three-pointer just now was considered a lore.But even if Ye Feng kept thinking about it, he still had to obediently return to the bench and listen to the coach's tactics.

After all the players arrived, Holland first praised the five starters for this game. After all, the team is still leading now.But he then said: "Calipari called a timeout at this time, which means that they don't want to be caught without a fight. I ask you to watch the players you are facing and don't give them any chance. You know, 0.2 seconds There is still a possibility of scoring." Everyone agreed happily, but they didn't take the coach's words seriously in their hearts, and almost everyone thought that they had won.

The timeout was over quickly, and the Tigers made a midline pass.Although the five players of the Bruins stared at their opponents, they did not fully concentrate. The Tigers ran an unconventional tactic: Except for Taggart who kicked off, the others Four people swarmed up to near the three-point line, which pulled all the Bruins players out.In the chaos, Ross went around Dorsey and went straight to the basket, and Dorsey blocked Ye Feng again.Taggart threw the ball directly to the basket in a timely manner, and the placement and height were impeccable.And all Rose has to do is reach out and point the basketball into the basket.

Everyone in the Bruins team, whether on or off the court, their expressions froze.What the hell is going on?Has this guy timed out?Including the UCLA fans at the scene, no one wanted to believe that this was a wonderful anti-lore. They all thought that Rose's empty layup had timed out.But the referee reviewed the video several times with the staff on the technical desk, and made a gesture that the goal was valid. 82 to 81!This is the real lore, the lore that leaves no room for it!

The numbers on the scoreboard are unusually conspicuous, reflecting the ignorance of the crazy celebration of the Bruins just now.Ye Feng stared blankly at the opponents hugging each other, his eyes were full of bewilderment, the whole effort was completely ruined at the last moment, anyone would feel powerless.For Ye Feng, this feeling was even more profound, because this was his first time leading a team alone, and it was also his first real failure this season.

　The author said that he did not find the relevant regulations of the NCAA, so he had to borrow from the NBA.Since 1990, the NBA has implemented the famous Trent Tucker rule. The content of this rule is that it takes at least 0.3 seconds for a player to catch the ball and then shoot it, regardless of whether he makes a shot or not.If it is less than 0.3 seconds, you can only perform an alley-oop dunk or a point call, otherwise the shot will be invalid.Therefore, in an official NBA game, if the time is less than 0.3 seconds and the shot is used to make a lore, it is considered a timeout.
