Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 84: Battle at the Peak ([-])

It was too late and then too fast, Ye Feng slowed down and passed the ball directly from Jackson's side to the outside line, the target was Enrique.Seeing the basketball roaring towards him, Enrique woke up like a dream, and hurriedly caught the ball.Ye Feng turned around and shouted at him: "Bob, shoot! Don't be stupid!" Before he finished speaking, he had already stuck Jackson behind him, ready to grab an offensive rebound.

Seeing Ye Feng's movements, Holland sat on his seat and nodded slightly.Ye Feng's action showed his accomplishments in rebounding. The most important thing to grab a rebound in an official game is anticipation and positioning, followed by height and jumping.And in the situation where the ball has not been shot, there is no way to predict the landing point of the ball for the time being, so it is the most appropriate action to get the opponent behind and occupy a favorable position.At the same time, this also fully demonstrates Ye Feng's aggressiveness, because if he lacks aggressiveness, the player will prepare to return to defense when his teammates shoot, instead of getting stuck first.

Whether to compete for offensive rebounds or return to defense in time is a matter of opinion for the beholder.Some coaches hope that players will fight for offensive rebounds, so that they can return the bullets and win more offensive rounds for the team; but some coaches put more emphasis on returning to defense, and even strictly prohibit players from grabbing offensive rebounds, because once they are not grabbed , it will give the opponent a chance to switch offenses, so that the success rate of the opponent's fast break will be greatly improved if the opponent is not fully positioned.Holland doesn't belong to any faction. Relatively speaking, he likes to let go, because everyone on the team is a good rebounder and has abnormal athletic ability. He can do both, so his request has always been to want to If you want to grab it, go for it, if you don't want to grab it, go back to defense.

Hearing Ye Feng's roar, Enrique trembled all over. After hesitating for a moment, he jumped up on the spot and shot.But as soon as the ball left his hand, Ye Feng screamed that it was not good. He could clearly see that Enrique's shooting posture was very stiff, with a little haste, as if this basketball was a hot potato.Logically speaking, this is an absolutely open space, there is no one within two meters in front of him, and according to his usual shooting level, this kind of ball is at least [-]% sure.But it was obvious that the arc of the ball was outrageous, and the only reason was that this guy was frightened out of his wits and hadn't fully recovered yet!
Ye Feng was so angry that he cursed in Chinese, but Enrique had already thrown the ball, so he could only watch helplessly.Sure enough, as he expected, the basketball hit the front edge of the basket with a "bang" and bounced high. "Rebound!" Several players under the basket jumped towards the basketball, and several hands of different skin colors waved in mid-air, trying to control the brown ball in their hands.Among this group of big muscular guys, Ye Feng's small body is very inconspicuous, but no matter what he is, he is still 2 meters 03 in the flank, coupled with the amazing jumping height, that big yellow-skinned hand faintly leads the others.

Cowen didn't look good. If he didn't make some moves, the rebound would fall into the opponent's hands.As an old ball ruffian, he has rich experience in playing dirty, and he can still avoid being caught by the referee.Seeing that Ye Feng was about to catch the rebound, he squeezed and leaned against the side. Ye Feng in mid-air felt his balance was slightly disrupted. It didn't matter if he was on flat ground, but he couldn't do it in the air. Borrowing strength, the rebound that is about to be caught is about to fly.Ye Feng's heart swayed, he twisted his waist reluctantly in mid-air, and with a touch of his hand, the basketball changed the trajectory of his fall and hit Jackson's arm fiercely.

Before the Jays players could react, the basketball had already flown out of the baseline. The referee saw it clearly and gave the Bruins the frontcourt.Jackson raised his hand dejectedly, indicating that the referee had made no mistake.Ye Feng didn't care about so many nonsense things, seeing that the ball was still on his side, he rushed to Enrique in three steps at a time, and shouted: "Bob, you smoked!" What's the wind? You can't make a shot in such a big open spot, you've simply wasted the starting position that Josh gave you!" Enrique blushed, but he still stood there helplessly, without making a sound.

Ba Mote hurried up to smooth things over, and he said to Ye Feng: "Ye, don't be too anxious, after all, this is the finals, it is understandable that everyone is a little nervous, and this is just the beginning, there is still more time in the future !” Turning his head, he said to Enrique again: “You too, every round is very important, and the final victory is accumulated round by round. You should be very sure about the open space just now, Next time there is such a vacancy, don't waste it."

Ye Feng calmed down, patted Enrique on the shoulder and said: "Bob, if you are still open later, I hope you can throw the ball into the damn basket." Enrique Ke gritted his teeth and nodded, and said loudly: "No problem, I swear to God!" Ye Feng smiled and said: "Forget it, God probably doesn't care about this, so don't swear anything, just hit it seriously." Said After finishing, he ran to the bottom corner and waited for Love to open the bottom line.

Cowen's interference obviously had no substantial impact on Love, and the other Bruins players were also running, so the ball was sent directly to Westbrook.Ye Feng didn't even want to pull to the top of the arc and raised his hand to ask for the ball, Westbrook felt relaxed, and passed the ball to Ye Feng as soon as it touched his hand.Ye Feng dribbled the ball and asked Enrique and Mbah a Moute to come over and make a double screen. This is also one of the regular offensive tactics of the Bruins.After continuous cover, a hole was torn open in the Jays' defense, and Ye Feng got in along the hole.Although he is a top shooter, he can't do things like dribbling and shooting from beyond the three-point line.

His breakthrough was fatal. Rush had to follow Ye Feng to the inside after switching defenses, leaving Enrique to Jackson.But after being scolded by Ye Feng just now, Enrique seemed to be enlightened, and directly used Mba Moute's cover to make another off-ball pick-and-roll, and followed into the inside lane.Ye Feng was already surrounded by the other side, Rush was chasing after him, and Cowan's huge body blocked him like a wall.Enrique's cut gave Ye Feng a point to get out of the ball, especially after Ye Feng attracted the attention of the opponent's inside defense, Enrique's presence became very valuable.

Of course, Ye Feng also saw Enrique who was cutting empty-handed from behind his side. He smiled slightly and directly threw the ball into the air.Enrique understood, jumped hard behind him, flew in mid-air like a helicopter, and smashed the ball hard into the basket.The only thing the Jays are lucky about is that no one of them was dunked by Enrique, otherwise they would be humiliated by the crotch, and they might be called 2+1 by the referee.

Now they can see that although Love was hindered by Cowen in the interior, the Bruins quickly shifted the focus of offense to Ye Feng, and Ye Feng not only has a tall body, ball-handling skills and finishing ability It is also top-notch, which poses a great test to the Jays' defense, requiring them to speed up the rotation speed when defending, and use running to plug the loopholes in the system.But they didn't panic. They are also a fast-paced team. It's not like they haven't tried this kind of high-speed defensive rotation before. The physical strength test of the players is not that great.

But don't worry about the defense, we have to finish this attack first!Chalmers deserves to be the starting point guard of the Jays. Under his command, Cowen mentioned near the free throw line, ready to go to the outside as a screen or go down for a layup, while Rush, Arthur and Jackson Constantly trying to slip the bottom line, trying to catch the Bruins by surprise.This time shows how wise Holland's adjustments to the starting lineup are. Love and Cowan keep a close distance, not only can step forward to block the position as soon as the opponent gets the ball, but also It can help teammates defend against opponents who walk the bottom line.Ye Feng, Westbrook, and Mbah a Moute built a fence. Judging from the physical fitness and defensive ability of the three of them, it is more than enough to lock up the opposing players.

The only thing that makes Holland a little worried is Enrique. Although they are both freshmen, in his opinion, there is still a clear gap between Enrique, Ye Feng and Love.But I don't know if it's because the alley-oop just lifted Enrique's heart, at least he dares to use the spirit of jelly candy to entangle the opponent when facing Rush now, which makes Rush also have a headache.Many defensive masters have said more than once that the most important thing in defense is not ability, but attitude. Only those who are willing to defend can do the best defense. A below-average defensive black hole.It is precisely because of this mad dog spirit that many players stand out from mediocrity, the most famous being Ben Wallace.

Daben was an important figure in the 2004 Pistons championship. As a center, his height is only 2.06 meters.But it is precisely because of a fierce and desperate tenacity and a fearless spirit that he won two rebounds and a block leader, and became the best defensive player four times. He averaged 15.4 rebounds per game in his peak season. .As an undrafted player, if he doesn't have a fierce and tough style of play, Daben will hardly have a bright future.

Enrique is showing that spirit now, and no matter how long he can sustain it, it will be enough for this game.
