Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 77
In order to make room for the second game, players from North Carolina and Kansas quickly left, while players from UCLA and University of Memphis had already lined up at the exit of the player tunnel, waiting to enter the field to warm up.Almost everyone has a murderous look in their eyes, especially the Bruins. After all, they were the ones who lost during the regular season, and they were the ones who vomited blood the most.As calm as Ye Feng's eyes were a little red, no matter how calm he was, he would never forget Rose's alley-oop. He was completely used as a background, and it was an extremely embarrassing background.Are you really ashamed not to go back this time?
The most arrogant is Westbrook, this guy is an unstable explosive factor.Although the player channels used by the two teams are different, and the distance is slightly farther, he still gestures to the opponent as always, and doesn't care whether they can see it or not.Holland pretended not to see it, but he was quite bitter in his heart: Can he play seriously?Are these small actions really good?Others can't see it at all, right?Thinking of this, he pulled his hair with a headache. By the way, he prayed to God that this guy would not mess around in the future. If he was directly sent off, the team would basically have no hope.

But coincidentally, there is also a restless guy at the University of Memphis, and that is Dorsey, who used his big mouth to open map guns in the media.On the other side, he didn't care whether the UCLA players could see it or not, and made a throat-slitting gesture recklessly.You must know that this is more fucked than the middle finger on the field, and the referee will give you a T even if it is light.But, now that the competition hasn't started, let's play a few rounds casually, so as not to have to do this kind of exciting action during the official competition.Calipari suffocated his old blood in his throat: How could there be such a nonsense guy in his team?But he thought about it again, Dorsey is still useful in the tactical system, let's forget it.

Although the two sides couldn't exchange harsh words before the warm-up due to too many audiences, they also had their own way, which was to deliberately make the warm-up the same as an exhibition match, how to play fancy, how to pretend, how to do it, Anyway, it's not taking the usual path.If you want to make a three-pointer, you have to shoot near the center line. I feel that if you don’t shoot here, you can’t show your level; if you want to make a dunk, you have to have a teammate stand under the basket. Happy.They competed more happily, and the fans on the sidelines also watched it very high. At this time, there are basically no neutral fans. Even if you are neutral, the atmosphere during the game will affect your choice of one of them. team to support.So in this way, every three-pointer and every dunk caused a tsunami of applause and cheers from the audience.

Westbrook is like a fully charged robot, tirelessly doing various dunks again and again. In his opinion, even if it is a warm-up, he must press the opponent down.Ye Feng couldn't help scolding this idiot in his heart, who wasted his energy before the match?Wouldn't it be good to sweat a little to warm up and stretch your muscles?Like him, he never fights for such idleness. He prefers to give the opponent a hard lesson during the game.So he stepped forward to stop Westbrook, who had just played another crotch-handed dunk, and whispered: "Russell, is it really okay for you to play like this during warm-up? Don't wait until you are out of strength when you go on the court." ah!"

Westbrook wiped his sweat, waved his hand proudly and said: "What is this? I will definitely not lose the chain during the game. Besides, it's better to dampen the spirit of the opponent first!" Ye Feng thought: Defeat you! You big-headed ghost, fortunately you are not Chinese, otherwise I will teach you what is meant by "one effort, then decline, and three exhaustion".He gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "I can't say that. If you want to suppress the momentum of the opponent, you can have a small climax within a few minutes after the start of the game. If you do it like this now," you can only entertain the public at best.The University of Memphis is already a top-level team, not to mention Calipari coaching, it is very strong in terms of will, basically it will not cause psychological fluctuations because of your small actions..."

At this time, Ye Feng suddenly caught a glimpse of Dorsey's big black man in the opposite half making a gesture of shooting towards himself, his face darkened, and he continued: "Except for some impulsive bastards... anyway Just don't waste so much energy on warming up." Westbrook didn't see Dorsey's small movements, he scratched his head and said: "It seems that what you said makes sense, well, I'm looking for the feel of free throws Well, it shouldn't be a problem." Ye Feng nodded, but he said in his heart: "Whatever you practice, don't get your brain congested and start pretending."

Sure enough, Westbrook started to settle down, and even Holland was amazed when he saw it. After all, he didn't see the scene of Ye Feng whispering to Westbrook at all. When Feng heard that, he really didn't know how distorted his expression was.Fortunately, Westbrook is the only one in the team to start, and the other hot-blooded youngsters can only sit on the bench and wait for the head coach to call, so it is not impossible to use a little excessive force during the warm-up.After Westbrook died down, Enrique inherited his pretentious attributes, and he had a great time buckling there alone.Ye Feng didn't want to care about this anymore, anyway, Enrique is not the starter, let him go, let him vent his energy.

Soon the warm-up time was over, and the players quickly returned to the locker room through the player channel, and began to make the final preparations before the game.If during the regular season and even the first two rounds of the championship, the players of the Bruins can still sit in their seats and listen to Holland's tactics leisurely, then at this moment, each of them is sitting upright like a soldier, with their eyes wide open. Staring intently at the tactical board in Holland's hand, he also quickly added various protective gear to himself. A tense mood soon permeated the locker room. Individuals with relatively strong willpower Players who are not strong even tremble slightly in their hands and feet.

Holland, an old fox, of course knows what's going on. Fortunately, the old players say that the new players will inevitably have fear.The first thing he has to do now is not to explain the main tactics of the team in this game, but to appease the mentality of the players.Thinking of this, he simply put down the tactical board, leaned against the door and said with a smile: "What's the matter? It seems that you don't have much confidence in revenge? Do you need me to say hello to Calipari and ask him to let me go?" Everyone agreed Looking at him with a strange face, he wondered if the coach was too stressed and his brain was flooded?Where is the joke in this sentence?I don't feel anything at all!

Looking at everyone's blank eyes, Holland blushed, coughed and continued: "I believe you all already know the importance of this game. To put it in a slightly unbelievable way, it is probably more important than the finals." Important, because this is a hurdle for you. It is a shame for any of you to be killed by your opponent in 0.2 seconds, and of course it is the same for me. I think only if you beat each other face to face, Only then will I be able to dilute the shadow in my heart and meet the finals in a better state."

Holland spoke impassionedly there, but Ye Feng was stunned: "What the hell is this? I didn't expect you to have a lot of research on our Chinese culture. Let's describe it, it's amazing!" Well, Holland didn't expect Ye Feng to have such a big brain, he is just interested in psychology in his spare time, and it is important for a head coach to be good at psychology. It's a very normal thing. After all, players often have to do psychological work for the players. How can they do it without some theoretical knowledge?Famous head coaches like Phil Jackson and "Cardinal" Auerbach can be said to be experts in psychology.

But I have to say that the effect of doing so is not bad, and everyone's mood has obviously stabilized.Holland nodded secretly, picked up the tactical board and began to explain while gesturing: "As I said before, at the beginning we gave the ball to the inside to play, Kevin, your attack range is wider than Josh, so Unless you are in a high position and Josh is in a low position, the two of you must cooperate with each other at any time. Passing or shooting is fine, as long as you are sure. I don’t intend to give you unlimited shooting rights in this game, as long as you have If there is a gap, just pass it out, the inside line is the first choice, but the outside line is also fine, don't stick to it."

"As for Russell and Ye, the two of you have to open the interior and attract the defense to provide outside firepower. In fact, it is up to you two to decide the outcome. After all, the opponent's strength is also their backcourt combination. Reasonable Chad, I decided to let you defend Rose in this game. You will not suffer in terms of speed or strength. But be careful not to give him a chance to easily break through to the inside, rather let him shoot. You are the experience of our team The most abundant outside defender, I believe you have your own judgment on the situation on the court, I will not say more about these details."

With a sad face, Mbah a Moute raised his hand and asked, "Coach, what if I can't defend?" Holland smiled and said, "Isn't there still Ye? You can just switch defenses with him." Why did I feel dizzy again? my business?Ye Feng felt that he was shot while lying down, but he immediately became excited after being a little depressed. Last time, it was his negligence that led to Rose's lore. This time, he must at least earn back face, right?

Holland clapped his hands vigorously and said, "To put it simply, our style of play is to lock up Rose as much as possible from the inside out, do you hear me clearly?"

"No problem coach!" Everyone shouted in unison.
