Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 86: Battle at the Peak (5)

Chapter 86

Holland himself did not expect that there would be such benefits after putting Enrique on the starting lineup. When Love completely gave up his shots and turned into a support point + rebounding machine, the outside firepower of the Bruins suddenly went berserk, often After two or three passes, an open space can be found, and the rest is to see how the players feel.Needless to say, Ye Feng and Enrique are two guns. Even Westbrook, who is not so good at long-range shooting, has improved his three-point shooting percentage because of Ye Feng's advice.Now the Bruins erected three turrets on the outside, and the players of the Jays began to doubt their lives.

Self was helpless sitting in his position. Originally, the Jays had good outside shooting ability, but each of the opponents played like a 3D player, not only bombarding himself with three-pointers, but also It can prevent the opponent from even making a shot.Coupled with the existence of a rebound harvester like Love, Self will not be able to think of any way to restrain the Bruins' offensive for a while, and can only rely on calling a timeout to delay the opponent's fiery touch.

Chalmers didn't think as much as the head coach. His opinion was that if he couldn't hit the outside line, he would rush in and hit the basket.The idea is good and clear, but unfortunately it doesn't work because he can't get rid of Westbrook's defense.Even if teammates are called to cover, Westbrook can still catch up with him with his super explosive power and abnormal acceleration, and then completely block the shooting space with his superior bounce.In desperation, the Jays collectively chose mid-range jumpers, and their shots at the basket and outside were greatly reduced, so that they could only be in a catch-up position in terms of score.

You must know that in modern basketball theory, the basket and the three-pointer are the most cost-effective positions. The shooting rate at the basket is relatively higher than other positions. It is equal to 1.5 two-pointers, as long as it is slightly higher than the normal level, there will be a great bonus to the true shooting percentage.Conversely, the mid-range is the lowest cost-effective shooting option. First, there is no high shooting percentage at the basket, and second, there is no additional bonus of three-pointers. This is why the entire league has turned to focus on Small ball tactics for ball conduction and outside shooting.

When it was halftime, the outside players of the Jays looked very ugly. There was no way for any player to see his defense being sieved, and his mood would not be much better.Even so, they still gritted their teeth and listened silently to Self's adjustments for the second half, because no one wanted to lose in this game.Facing the strong Bruins, Self could only take a slant forward and give it a go. While writing and drawing on the tactical board, he said: "The opponent's perimeter strength is very strong, and it is difficult for us to guard against their three-pointers. Ball. I don’t want to say much about this gap in hard power, but in my opinion, as long as they can force their physical fitness to decline, then the three-point shooting rate will plummet, and that’s our chance.”

"As for how to consume their physical strength, I hope that everyone will run more on the court, and whether they have a chance or not, they must drive the opponent's defense. In addition, continue to maintain the offense at the mid-range and the basket, because defensive breakthroughs are far more important than defensive breakthroughs. Shooting is more energy-consuming. I will continue to rotate the bench, and of course I will leave a few starters to play with the bench. What you have to do is 10 minutes before the start of the second half to ensure that the score is not stretched. Consuming the opponent's physical energy, our decisive moment is in the last 10 minutes!"

Self's idea is very right, and this is the best response that he can take when he can't tie the fence tightly on the outside.At the beginning of the second half, the players of the Bruins team felt the pressure. The opponent rushed to break through the inside like a death squad holding a dynamite bag, regardless of whether your defense was in place or not.Generally speaking, the defensive side is passive, and they need to spend more time judging the opponent's next move, not to mention that Chalmers, Rush and Arthur are not unknown people, and several outside defensive players Soon I felt a little heavy in my calves, which is a sign of rapid physical exhaustion.

Soon the Bruins' outside shots began to hit the iron continuously, and both Enrique and Westbrook's three-pointers hit the frame.Although the Jays' fast break was not successful, everyone in the Bruins team made a lot of back and forth runs in order to defend the opponent's transition attack. Enrique, who was the weakest in physical strength, was already a little out of breath.Self was keenly aware of this, and he speeded up the rotation without hesitation, replacing several of his starting players in turn to rest.Under his urging, the substitute players kept entangled with their opponents with the mentality of "I don't score, you don't even want to score", which further consumed the overall physical strength of the Bruins.

Seeing that the score was about to catch up, Self was overjoyed and became more and more convinced that his decision was correct, but he counted as missing one person.At this critical moment, Ye Feng decisively took over the team's offense just like he did when he was in the high school team.Of course, this was also approved by Holland a long time ago. In his opinion, if there must be one person in the team with unlimited firepower, it can only be Ye Feng.As the team's top scorer this season, Ye Feng's behavior was not questioned by his teammates. Instead, everyone was subconsciously creating opportunities for him to shoot.

This time he was facing the Jays' substitute striker Matt Kleiman. To Ye Feng, this was not a problem at all. The opponent's defense was far worse than Arthur's.But even so, Ye Feng didn't intend to waste his energy. With a glance, Love, who was already near the free throw line, was outside the three-point line, and he used his broad body to firmly block Kleiman behind. .Ye Feng smiled slightly, and took off vertically one step away from the three-point line. His movements were smooth and his hands were steady, which made Self's eyes widen on the sidelines.This three-pointer passing through the net was like a sharp arrow shooting into his heart, and he suddenly had a feeling of "one careless move and the whole game is lost", and it was only because of Ye Feng. The first goal after completely taking over the team's offense.

"How is it possible? The second half is almost halfway through, how could this guy still have such good physical fitness? Is he really Asian?" Self muttered to himself while sitting in his seat.It's not that he hasn't seen Ye Feng's stats, and he also knows that he averages nearly 35 minutes per game, but in his opinion, as long as he puts more pressure on Ye Feng, he won't be able to play for that long.But Ye Feng's steady long-range shot gave him a slap in the face. When his teammates felt a little tired and this affected their shooting percentage, Ye Feng was still able to steadily send the ball into the basket as always.

In fact, Ye Feng has been improving his stamina in a planned way, facing the Jays' strategic exhaustion, he is only slightly out of breath.He has always believed that physical strength is the most important factor in sports competitions. You can only contribute to the team by standing on the court. Even if you are so good at the game that even Jordan is willing to bow down, if your physical strength is not good, you can only play a dozen games. Minutes, there is no way to affect the outcome of the game.

Originally, the Jays were going to blow the horn of attack, but Ye Feng's three-pointer directly suppressed their momentum just now. Every player of the Jays looked at No. 13 like a ghost, The beliefs I had held in my heart began to crumble.Holland was still worried about the player's condition at the beginning, but Ye Feng's performance seemed to give him a reassurance. Now he sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, whispering to the assistant coach from time to time, and the expression on his face is very comfortable. It is in stark contrast to Self's mournful face as if his parents are dead.

Now Ye Feng enjoys not only the treatment of the top scorer, but also the treatment of the core of the team.Everyone will look for him subconsciously after getting the ball. Whenever the ball is passed to him, the Jays players will look at him with desperate eyes. look like.Ye Feng is completely immersed in the constant shot scoring. There is a title for this kind of person called "the pitch black hole", but it generally refers to the idiot who doesn't pass the ball and doesn't score goals. Ye Feng doesn't pass the ball but always A hero who can put the ball in the basket.

Americans advocate individual heroism, and this spirit is fully displayed on the basketball court. They may applaud the final winner, but they will definitely shed tears for the lonely hero, no matter whether he can reach the end or not.Ye Feng's crazy performance quickly conquered the fans present. At first, only the fans from California began to shout "MVP! MVP!" in an organized way, and soon the neutral fans from other regions also followed suit. In the end, even the fans from Kansas began to turn their backs and cheered for their opponents.No way, Ye Feng's performance in this game was phenomenal, and to a certain extent, it was also thanks to the Jays coach Self's tactics to drag down the Bruins' physical fitness.

No other voices could be heard in the entire arena. Everyone shouted Ye Feng's name one after another in awkward Chinese. In their eyes, this yellow-skinned kid was the MVP of the game, even in the NCAA Final Four. MOP cannot fall on Ye Feng's head, but he has already conquered everyone with his skills.In the last 5 minutes of the game, the Bruins had already led by as much as 80 points, 65 to 15. Hearing the cheers of the fans, Self smiled bitterly, and replaced all the starters of his team when the ball was dead .Holland didn't intend to kill them all. Seeing that his opponent had conceded, he also graciously replaced the substitute.

And when Ye Feng walked off the field, all the fans stood up spontaneously, paying their respects to the most shining player in this game.Ye Feng waved his fist excitedly, his handsome face flushed red: The NCAA championship is finally here!

 MVP, the full name of MostValuablePlayer, the most valuable player.But the NCAA's selection is different from the NBA. They will select the MOP of the semi-finals after the end of the championship every year, that is, the Most Oustanding Player, the most outstanding player. Team members, but there are exceptions, such as Olajuwon (from the University of Houston, and the championship team that year was North Carolina).At present, the player with the most MOP is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who became the MOP of the NCAA Final Four for three consecutive seasons from 1967 to 1969.Fans may be more willing to call MVP, after all, the scope of this spread is relatively wide.
