I can't be a basketball god

Chapter 43 Defense: Hurt each other!

In the unlimited heads-up, Ye Feng felt the strong strength of Jones' defense.

The first goal was okay, but as the offensive options became less and less, Ye Feng's offense was stretched to the limit and he hit the iron again and again.

Boom-!
……

Boom-!
……

Ye Feng's one-on-one attack was suppressed, he gritted his teeth, and prepared to retaliate defensively.

Come and not go, no gentleman!

On defense, Ye Feng started desperately.

Jones' offense is strong, however, not without weaknesses.

Now Jones, with his serious injuries and getting older, his explosive power has visibly faded.

His style of play, like most veterans, likes to float on the outside and use mid-range shots to solve opponents.

This gave Ye Feng a chance.

Facing Jones who was taking an open-book exam, Ye Feng began to focus on Jones' shooting.

If it breaks through, it will directly collide with meat.

In the case of limited offensive options, Jones' unstable shooting characteristics began to show.

bang bang bang bang! !
come!

Hurt each other, hit me with iron.

So, on defense, Ye Feng, who was hardworking, met Jones, who was playing hard.

The two sides actually broke into a [-]-[-] split.

You don't let me score, and I don't let you have a good time.

……

Next, it's time for a back-to-back individual duel.

When it comes to post-up singles, Ye Feng's physical strength has been brought into play.

Jones' style of play is similar to Kobe's.

In fact, it is said that when Kobe was young, when Kobe's post-up singles were invincible in the league, Jones did not have his breakthrough.

As for post-up skills, for Jones, who has no ambitions, it is better to work hard to improve his defensive skills.

Now his offense is more inclined to play off the ball, catch and shoot.

Bang-!
Jones was not very skilled, so he could only try to crush Ye Feng with physical strength, but when he hit the iron plate, Ye Feng remained motionless.

Shaking right and left, but failed to shake Ye Feng, Jones could only grit his teeth and turn over to shoot a jumper, and the shot also added a little bit of a back.

It's just that he doesn't have the ability to stay in the air like Kobe.

Snapped--!
Only in the first round, Ye Feng rewarded him with a hot pot.

Next, in the second round, he hit the basket, tried his best, and squeezed into the paint area, but found that he was stuck tightly by Ye Feng, without any room to shoot.

After hesitating, Ye Feng directly cut off the basketball.

"What happened? Jones was blown up in a back-to-back single. How could Ye Feng's defense be so strong?" Stan Van Gundy was surprised.

"It's not how strong Ye Feng's defense is, but Jones is getting back more and more." Riley shook his head, and continued, "His post-up singles, like his ambition, are just passing by.

When I traded him from the Hornets, what I saw was that he worked hard enough on the court, galloping all over the court, both offensive and defensive.

I thought he had grown.

I thought he would become stronger after being dumped by the Lakers.

Unexpectedly, he was just working hard in front of the stage, but behind the stage he was complacent. Over the years, his offensive skills have not been updated.

No wonder he was pulled further and further away by Kobe..."

Riley shook his head, feeling a little dissatisfied.

After all, when he came to the Heat to be the savior from the mighty Knicks, he didn't waste his life on credit. Now Jones's mentality is to want to retire in the Heat with peace of mind. He has no aggressiveness. It's weird to like.

Stan Van Gundy was silent for a while, but shook his head, expressing his disapproval, "Maybe it's not Jones' fault alone.

The Heat failed him, too.

When he came to you back then, he also wanted to achieve results and prove that the Lakers' choice was wrong.

As a result, the Heat's luck was much worse. Hardaway was injured and Mourning was ill.

He originally wanted to hug his thigh, but after a blank look at the end, he realized that he was the best player on the Heat team.

The Heat have sunk for two years because of this, he just went along with the situation and couldn't adjust his mentality for a while.

When he realizes the talent and strength of the Heat, he may wake up.

Anyway, he is an All-Star shooting guard, whether it is offense or defense, it is really too important for the newly established Heat team.

Wade and Ye Feng are too young after all.

Kobe's talent was also very strong back then, and the Lakers and O'Neal also waited for him for three years before they all broke out.

Jones' contract ended two years later, at the age of 35.

We shouldn't ask too much of him. He is just a transitional player. If he changes to other players and comes to the Heat, he may not necessarily do better than him.

On the other hand, Ye Feng is a player with really good talent. His offense is a little unstable, but his defense is still passable. It is worth looking forward to. "

"..."

When Riley heard what his disciple said, he took a deep look at him.

He who was slow to respond before, now knows how to answer quickly, and the answer is very insightful.

……

On the field.

Then went to the singles, Jones' post-up singles, there was nothing to look forward to, Ye Feng's post-up singles were not much better, and under Jones' defense, he was also blocked and unable to move.

Moreover, Ye Feng had a worse life than Jones.

Because Jones looked serious.

Just now he was defended ugly in post-up singles, and now he wants to find his place again.

Boom-!
Ye Feng used his physical strength to run Jones to the free throw line, swaying right and left, turning around and shooting a jumper.

In order to avoid Jones' block in the air, his shot was a little hasty, and the shooting rhythm accelerated a lot. Although he avoided the block, he still smashed the basket and flew out.

Ye Feng and Jones started to hurt each other and fight each other.

However, Ye Feng's defensive ability, following this one-on-one match, also entered the eyes of his teammates and the coaching staff.

Although Ye Feng's offense is not very reliable, but it is worth admiring to be able to play back and forth with a defensive champion of Jones' level.

……

After ten minutes.

The heads-up at the shooting guard position is over, and the heads-up at the small forward position begins.

Ye Feng didn't go to rest, but took the initiative to stand up and challenge.

Seeing the doubts and bewilderment on the faces of other teammates, Ye Feng smiled brightly, and automatically answered the question, "I am only 19 years old, and in the past few months, my height has grown by a few centimeters, and it should be 2 meters tall.

So, the small forward position, I think I can also try to play it. "

"..."

Others looked at Wade, their eyes seemed to ask, why don't you grow taller?
Wade bulged his cheeks and shrugged his shoulders, expressing that he was also helpless.

If his height increased by another 5 centimeters, he believed that he would not have to become a half-way monk and play some kind of point guard!

His favorite will always be the same as Jordan, playing shooting guard.

In other words, Caron Butler's knee injury has not healed in the heads-up at the small forward position, so naturally there is no possibility of a heads-up.

In fact, as the team's supernova, he didn't even have to come out for any heads-up.

As long as he comes back, the position of small forward will not be able to escape, it must be his.

The Heat have many forwards, but they are all of dubious height.

This is very much in line with Riley's vision. He believes that the future NBA will be dominated by swingers around 2 meters.

Therefore, the Heat have accumulated a lot of forward swingmen.

Malik Allen came out to challenge. Originally, his best position was to play power forward, but the arrival of Odom made him automatically lose his position.

If he wants to play center, he doesn't have the height and weight, so he might as well fight for the small forward position.

Now the small forward position, the competition is not fierce.

One, because of Butler's injury attributes, he cannot play for a long time.

Two, because the Heat have already sent Raschel Butler to the Grizzlies in order to sign Ye Feng with the 13th overall pick, and they also got a second-round pick for next year.

I heard that Riley also gave the Grizzlies a promise.

West looked at his past friendship and didn't have a fancy rookie, so he accepted the Heat's bargaining chip and gave up the No. 13 pick.

Malik Allen feels like he can go for it, and if he doesn't step up, there's a good chance he'll be on the fringes.

It's just that he didn't come out at the right time, and met Ye Feng, who was in excellent shooting form.

When Ye Feng's shooting state broke out, his breakthrough, his singles, improved several grades.

Ye Feng also dared to do operations that he didn't usually dare to do. He was able to save many offenses that were forced into trouble with unreasonable shots.

The other players looked at Malik Allen, who was trying to defend, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

At this time, Ye Feng was in the state of killing a god, and his offense was quite incomprehensible. Coupled with his good defense, he was very eye-catching in the individual duel performance.

Just when Ye Feng defeated Al and walked off the field with a smile in his eyes, Odom stood up.

"Hey, Ye Feng, take a break, can you challenge me one-on-one?

In fact, I also really like playing the small forward position.

I can do it at shooting guard, but I still prefer to play where Magic used to be.

what do you think? "

"..."

Ye Feng spread his hands, saying that he can refuse?

Anyway, there are still misplaced heads-ups, so I will start ahead of time as misplaced personal heads-ups.

Now he is in good condition, beating a 'sugar man', shouldn't be a big problem, right?
Ye Feng's confidence came, just to solve Odom and prove his own strength.
