Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 80 Entering the Finals

From Ye Feng's point of view, from the time he started playing basketball to the present, the people who have influenced him the most are his father Ye Ning and Hornacek.During the few weeks when Hornacek stayed in Los Angeles, Ye Feng would go to the small villa he rented to practice quick shots almost every time when there was no class, and occasionally met Abby who came to visit his father.But even if he saw Abby, he just said hello in a hurry, and then plunged into the basketball court to practice in the dark.Although it seems to be the rhythm of betting on orphans, his shooting speed has been greatly improved. In Hornacek's words, it is "already usable."

And this time he was going to use this secret weapon.The team has fallen into the quagmire of a tug-of-war after Calipari made adjustments, and only relied on the inside advantage at the beginning of the game to achieve a 5-point lead.But now it's only been 10 minutes, and the lead of 5 points is very small. The opponent only needs two three-pointers to overtake the score.At this time, he couldn't help hiding his clumsiness. He hadn't exploded his own small universe, but he couldn't even touch the finals.

Rose's breakthrough is indeed very powerful. His combination of man and ball and his control over his body are the best that Ye Feng has seen in the whole season.But there is one thing, Rose is not good at shooting, which can be seen from his 33.7% three-point shooting during the regular season.But this is Ye Feng's strong point. He originally played a qualified corner three-point shooter most of the time, but only those who really put together his shooting heat map will be surprised to find that this guy is on the three-point line. The hit rate of the outer five areas is almost the same, but the bottom corner is relatively slightly higher.Of course, this is also a normal situation, because the bottom corner is the closest position to the basket outside the entire three-point line. Generally, players who are new to three-pointers will start from the bottom corner first.

Ye Feng is quite confident about his shooting, especially after practicing what Hornacek called fast shooting, he found that his shooting skills have been further improved.And when practicing shooting speed, Hornacek also gave him another little suggestion, but at the same time told him whether to listen to this suggestion or not, just choose it yourself.According to Hornacek's idea, even if they are all outside shots, they can still distinguish the distance. If possible, he hopes that Ye Feng can further expand his shooting range. Two steps are still required.

Ye Feng happily accepted this suggestion, but he never played ultra-long three-pointers when practicing quick shots, and with his current ability, he still couldn't combine the two.But generally speaking, in this position, few people can prevent his sudden shot, even if the shooting speed is not fast enough, this suddenness is enough for the opponent to drink a pot.In this round, Ye Feng is going to try a super long three-pointer, which can be regarded as a tribute to Rose's goal just now.

So he asked Westbrook for the ball before halftime.Westbrook was very surprised, but out of the trust among his teammates, he didn't say anything, and directly handed the ball to Ye Feng, while he started running.Faced with Ye Feng's super scoring ability, Ross decided to defend himself, which is also his pride.The position where the two of them were stalemate was still two steps away from the three-point line. Rose was very skillful and kept a distance of half a meter for Ye Feng to prevent him from suddenly starting.

But Rose quickly regretted leaving his opponent short.In fact, there is no need to regret it at all, and normal people would not shoot in that position. As the Tigers' perimeter defensive leader, Rose's choice of response method is indeed no problem.But Ye Feng is not a normal person, except near the center line, almost the entire half is within his shooting range, which Rose never imagined.Seeing that the opponent left such a large distance to prevent him from breaking through, Ye Feng wished he could give him a stack of good person cards to express his "gratitude".If Ross knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him seriously: "Thank you, sir! Can you not make a routine?"

There is no way, Ye Feng just wants to trick you, this is already in range, why don't you hurry up and make a move?Seeing Ye Feng take off straight from such a long distance and throw the ball, Ross subconsciously thought that this guy was messing around. Of course, many fans present, media reporters and even the coaches of both sides also thought that Ye Feng was doing something wrong. Convulsions, but only he knew it was a perfect blow!Rose just turned around and wanted to call his teammates to grab the defensive rebound, but he opened his mouth in surprise, because the basketball did not miss the basket as he imagined, but plunged into it.

At this moment, there was a deathly silence in the arena. Even the hardcore fans of UCLA couldn't believe their eyes, although they hoped that the team they supported could reach the finals.Ye Feng's ultra-long three-pointer achieved an effect beyond imagination and shocked everyone. The five players of the Tigers looked at him as if they were watching something strange, and Calipari also sent a shot from the sideline. He let out a sigh: "God, what a monster!" On the contrary, after a brief surprise, Holland suddenly jumped up from his seat and blushed and said loudly: "What a monster!" Beautiful, Ye, just kick their asses like this!" Soon the audience also came to their senses, and the entire arena was filled with huge cheers.

Seeing other Bruins players coming up to pat Ye Feng's shoulders and back one after another, Ross had an incredible expression on his face.He knew that Ye Feng's three-point shot was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong. This is two steps outside the three-point line. What is the concept of shooting here?Although Rose himself is not good at long-range shooting, he also knows how difficult it is to hit a three-pointer from this position, and judging from Ye Feng's posture, this guy is definitely capable of doing it with ease.Rose didn't know why anyone would practice such a long three-pointer, but since it appeared, it was reasonable.

Ye Feng doesn't care what is reasonable or not, his philosophy has always been to learn everything that he can use, and to specialize in those that can be of great use, just like the advice Hornacek gave him.In his opinion, expanding his attack range is a matter of great benefit and no harm. Didn't you see that the players of the Tigers were beaten stupid?This is the great power of unconventional weapons, and practice has proved that this technology can play a considerable role on the field.

Although Ross felt incredible, he was also very unconvinced. He felt that Ye Feng's victory was unarmed. It was like when someone suddenly took out an AK47 from behind when they agreed to fight with a knight's sword. Not only did they want to win you, but they were also disgusting. you.Mbah a Moute protected the defensive rebound in a chaotic rim after the Tigers failed a play, and Rose will once again face Ye Feng's weird shooting skills.This time he learned how to behave, he was only half a meter away from Ye Feng, so that he could not only prevent the opponent's breakthrough, but also effectively interfere when he was about to jump and shoot. "I'm such a genius!" Ross said to himself in his heart.

Genius or not, Ye Feng doesn't care, he just knows that he needs to change his scoring method.The ultra-long-range three-pointer can indeed give the opponent a bad start, but in terms of practicality, quick shots can be used many times in the game.So Ye Feng pushed Rose forward little by little, and finally stood at the top of the arc.Seeing Ye Feng lower his center of gravity, Rose quickly tensed his nerves. He immediately sank down and assumed a standard defensive posture.

Ye Feng smiled slightly, and quickly changed direction in front of his body to take a tentative step. After Ross reacted subconsciously, Ye Feng quickly retracted his feet, and directly shot from the spot.Rose was startled, and was about to jump to block the shot, but Ye Feng had already made a shot at this time, and Rose couldn't touch the ball even when he jumped up.This time Ross was confused again, it's unscientific, I'm just a little bit slower, why can't I even interfere?As the person involved, he didn't feel it, but Calipari, who was sitting on the sidelines, could see it clearly. Before Ye Feng took off, he made an obvious knee-bending movement, which showed that he took off with all his strength. His own physical fitness is also top-notch, and it is only logical that Rose was cheated once again under mental arithmetic or inadvertently.

Soon this match turned into a battle between Ross and Ye Feng.Rose's breakthrough was as sharp as thunder, piercing through the entire defense line inadvertently; Ye Feng's shot was as elegant as a breeze, but in the eyes of everyone in the Tigers, it was very weird.We know you're a good shooter, but can you take a good shot?Interested in playing these?Can you still play happily?It can be said that Ye Feng was the biggest accident in this game. Of course, the Bruins welcome such an accident, but the opponent's mood is not very good. Not only is it difficult to defend, but they can also shoot accurately. How can this be played?
Ye Feng's precise shooting also greatly boosted the morale of the Bruins team. Almost everyone started to put their lives on the field, and this desperate posture invisibly overwhelmed the opponent.Calipari couldn't change the Tigers' slump even after a timeout, and even he scolded the players during the halftime break. Under the "infection" of the forward, the other players of the Bruins team felt so good, no matter how they shot, the point difference was always in double digits, and Rose tried his best to make it back to single digits, let alone Said it was equalized.

In the end, Ye Feng scored 11 of 7 from outside the three-point line. He scored 32 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. He helped UCLA beat the University of Memphis 74 to 60, avenged the opponent's revenge in the regular season, and successfully fought with Kansas. The final of the university reunion, and the final is just one day away!

　The actual situation was that UCLA lost 53 to 78 at that time, and Westbrook scored 22 points and was unable to prevent the team from losing.In fact, UCLA is an NCAA team that the author likes very much, probably because of their brilliant historical record!
