Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 83: Battle at the Peak ([-])

Holland did not expect that his inside-based style of play would suffer a devastating blow at the beginning of the game.Uh, it might be said that it was a bit destructive, but at least it was far from his expectations.Originally, Holland hoped that Love could open up the situation for the team through his skilled inside footsteps and mid-range jumpers, but looking at the Russian big man Cowen who was stubbornly resisting Love, the former did not even have the space to turn around.As for the turnaround jumper?Forget it, if he didn't lose his center of gravity due to being squeezed, it would be considered that Loew's skill is superb.

Loew himself was secretly startled.It's not that the two haven't played against each other this season, but in the pre-season invitational game, Cowen's defense didn't have such a huge impact on him at all.Love always remembered him as a tall, clumsy, slow-moving big center, but Cowan was a veteran. He played for the University of Kansas Jays since 2004. He has a good grasp of when to hide and when not to hold his hands. .And it should be noted that this guy is a Russian. Although most of Russia's territory is located in Asia, they are actually a European country. It is not surprising that Cowen accepted the European insider's style of play.

Faced with this kind of inside meat shield, Love felt a headache. He could only hold the ball with his back and wait for his teammates to run out of space before passing the ball.But the Jays seem to be determined to kill their own offense. Even if they can't be so rigorous throughout the game, at least they can prevent the opponent from scoring in the first round.In this way, the team fell into a passive position, and the offensive power he won by jumping the ball seemed to be wasted.In fact, unless it is a big man with excellent ball-handling ability, the general inside line rarely breaks through the frame, let alone Love can't even do it now.

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly entered his ears: "Kevin, give me the ball." Love heard it clearly. It was Ye Feng's voice. The two had been in the same dormitory for almost a year, and each other's voice That's pretty familiar.He looked around and saw that Ye Feng took Arthur's tail around the bottom line in a big circle, and then cut it across from the weak side at a 45-degree angle.Loew heaved a sigh of relief. When the two of them crossed each other, he quickly handed over the golfer to Ye Feng, and helped him get stuck on Arthur who was chasing him.But it's a pity that he doesn't have the size of Cowan. Arthur suddenly accelerated and bypassed his screen, but this was also Loew's bad taste in haste. If it was replaced by the regular pick-and-roll tactics of the Bruins, Arthur would Trying to bypass this wall is not so simple.

After Ye Feng got the ball, he went straight out of the three-point line, and Arthur followed him like a shadow.As the Jays' starting small forward, he had a dismissive attitude towards Ye Feng after the game started.In his opinion, Ye Feng may be a good opponent as a shooting guard, but this is the third position, and he is very confident in his height and strength.But he obviously forgot a derived position on the basketball court, and this position is also the position that produces the most great scorers, that is, the swingman of the forward guard.Obviously Ye Feng is in such a position now, swinging down to the second position, and swinging up to the third position.It was true that Arthur had confidence in himself, but why did Ye Feng not have confidence in himself?

While dribbling the ball, Ye Feng slowly bent down, his whole body was tense like an arrow on a string, as if he was about to go straight into the inside line with lightning and thunder in the next moment.Arthur felt that the eyes of the Asian man in front of him had changed. If he was a little nervous and excited before, his eyes now looked like a hunting beast. The coldness made him tremble a bit. .It's a pity that Ye Feng doesn't have the ability to see things, so he has no way to know, otherwise, taking advantage of the brief moment when Arthur's body froze, he could have directly thrown this annoying tail behind him.

Of course, not making good use of this moment doesn't mean Ye Feng can't do anything against Arthur's defense.He slumped his shoulders and swayed from side to side, finding room for himself to turn around between successive changes in Arthur's center of gravity.But Arthur only felt Ye Feng flash in front of his eyes, and then disappeared. This discovery made his whole body stand on end, and he almost wanted to report his opponent for using magic on the court.But this is just the simplest way to speed up and turn around. Ye Feng has not relaxed his training in other aspects this season, and Black will also give him some tips on how to exert strength. , Ye Feng has become even faster.

After breaking through to the inside line, Ye Feng didn't stop his pace, because he didn't have much time left for this round.But not stopping doesn't mean he can't slow down. Looking at Jackson and Cowan in front of him, Ye Feng's pace suddenly slowed down. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was going to take three steps for a layup, but in these three steps Inside, his upper body continuously made large changes of direction, which completely thwarted the opponent's intention to block the shot.At the third step, Ye Feng used the foot on the ground as a support point, exerted strength, took off, and easily picked the ball into the basket.Behind them are Cowan, Jackson and Arthur, stunned.

Everyone on the court has quite a professional vision, not to mention the coaches on the sidelines and even the media reporters with long guns and short guns.After witnessing the goal, more than one person exclaimed: "Eurostep! It's a Eurostep!" Ye Feng naturally knew that it was a Eurostep, and he learned it from Ginobili's video.The biggest highlight of this technique is the pace during the layup, which sways from left to right, making it easy for the defender to fail to judge the direction of travel and cause the defender to lose his defensive position.Whether it is the founder or the source of Eurostep, it is impossible to verify. It was first brought into the NBA by the former Lithuanian star Sarunas Matthew Leonis, and it was carried forward by the Argentine star Ginobili. The spokesperson of Eurostep inside.

To Ye Feng, playing Eurostep is nothing surprising, his technical reserve is enough for him to come up with a technique on the field to penetrate the opponent's defense, the only regret is that he didn't cause the opponent to foul.But when he showed his hand, he murdered countless films. Compared with writers, photographers were relatively rational. The moment Ye Feng started to activate, they held their breaths and made preparations.Of course, they didn't expect the appearance of the Eurostep, and they just wanted to take some photos of Ye Feng out of habit, especially the Los Angeles media, which knew the most about UCLA.

The players of the Jays recovered their composure after a brief surprise. Ye Feng's Eurostep couldn't completely defeat them. The rest of the Bruins still needed to do more.There was still some shock left on Cowen's face, but he still went to the bottom line to serve without hesitation.Chalmers did not deliberately encourage his teammates after receiving the ball, but this is exactly what he believed in his teammates.The offense of the Jays makes Holland feel very familiar, but this is also normal. A defensive center is paired with four wing scorers. No matter how you change, you will always change. It seems familiar. of.

It has to be said that Cowan's coping ability is quite strong. With him as the axis, the other four players ran wildly and interspersed, which made the Bruins players have to be exhausted.In order to suppress his pass, Love also had to get out of the basket and put his arm across Cowan's broad back to prevent him from turning directly and breaking through.Ye Feng felt something was wrong when Love pulled him out, but before he could give a warning, there was a gap under the basket.Rush used the screen to slip straight to the baseline, and Cowen got the ball into his hands just in time for a tomahawk dunk.This time it was the Kansas fans and media's turn to sing and dance, as if they were going to demonstrate to the UCLA supporters. For a while, the entire arena was filled with shouts of "Kansas".

Everyone else is very calm, only Enrique's face is a little pale. You must know that he has hardly encountered such a high-decibel "noise" when he came off the bench before. Now the fans of the University of Kansas have played such a trick. , His heart jumped a few times in an instant.Seeing that Enrique's expression was not right, Ye Feng quickly figured out what was going on. He stepped forward and patted Enrique on the shoulder, and said gently: "Bob, don't be so nervous, it's just now It's just started, we're all by your side, no problem."

Enrique nodded, buried his head and ran to the frontcourt.Ye Feng smiled helplessly, he didn't know how much he listened to what he said, but the best way to help his teammates regain confidence on the court is to let him score!So in the next round, Ye Feng took the initiative to ask Westbrook for the ball, and Westbrook passed the ball to him very readily, and he ran to the weak side to respond.This time, the defender in front of Ye Feng was replaced by Jackson, but to him, there was no difference, except that Jackson's strength was stronger than Arthur's, and his agility was not as good as Arthur's.This time, Ye Feng didn't play anything false, and ran towards Enrique with his defenders.

Seeing that Enrique hadn't recovered yet, Ye Feng smiled strangely, and directly asked him to cover passively, and then rushed inside.The Jays also found that Enrique's condition was not right, and Jackson and Rush made an instant decision: to attack Ye Feng together.As for Enrique, who is in a trance, it doesn't matter if he is given a break.The two of them did what they said, and followed Ye Feng's ass and stepped within the three-point line.

Ye Feng had already seen the two henchmen behind him from the corner of his eye, and the corner of his mouth revealed a disdainful arc: "Come on, follow on, all of you, if you don't follow on, how can I pass the ball to Bob?"He is valuable only if he can score. Let me dig out the desire to score!
