Chapter 21: Demons

When Yi Feng was in elementary school, he saw Maddie's handsome figure and picturesque ball skills on the TV in the school cafeteria, and since then he has begun to like this talented superstar, and often imitates his technical movements.

So in Yi Feng's many technical moves, you can see some of Maddie's shadows, just like his amazing pull-up shot just now.

Maddie's pull-up shot is one of Yi Feng's favorite moves. Of course, he also likes Maddie's one-handed ball.

Just like now, he faced a trembling Vaughn with a relaxed face and a ball in one hand.

Vaughn has always been very confident in himself, even against Russell and Moodier, who are draft favorites on the guard line, he is not afraid at all. He felt that he was just lacking the opportunity to perform, otherwise his current fame would definitely not be inferior to them.

However, this Chinese rookie, who scored consecutive points under his defense, actually gave him a sense of powerlessness and even fear on the court for the first time. This is something that Russell and Moodier failed to give, and even Downs and Okafor failed to give.

Although Vaughn looked calm and immobile now, as long as Yi Feng made a slight move, he would definitely easily reveal his flaws.

Because, on the psychological level, he has already lost to Yi Feng.

Yi Feng held the ball in one hand from beyond the three-point line, observing the RED team's defense. Not only was Vaughn in front of him, but he also paid attention to the other eight players on the field.

Just as Yi Feng's gaze shifted away from Vaughn, Vaughn's gaze also began to move with Yi Feng's gaze. At this moment, Yi Feng suddenly took a step to the right!

Between stillness and movement, the transition was extremely fast, catching Vaughn off guard.

But his physical fitness is also first-class, and his nerves are fast, and his body subconsciously moves to the left.

The easy wind on the active side of the attack, coupled with the speed advantage brought by its own super explosive power, obviously seized the advantageous space of half a step. At this time, Vaughn has lost his defensive position, and if he forcibly squeezes over, it will become a blocking foul.

At this time, Yi Feng already occupied a favorable situation, as long as he was more resolute, he could break through Vaughn's defense, and there would be more options to solve.

However, this is not the case with Yifeng.

He stepped into the three-point line, unexpectedly suddenly stopped, pulled out his body and pulled out another emergency stop!

Picturesque shooting reproduction!

Vaughn, who couldn't react, didn't even have time to stretch out his arm to interfere with Yi Feng's shot, so he could only look up at Yi Feng in the air and shoot. At this time, Yi Feng, in his eyes, seemed to be completely unstoppable.

Because, with a "bang", the basketball smashed into the net bag again.

In less than two minutes in the second half, Yi Feng made all 5 shots and scored 11 points in a row, feeling hot!

He is simply a god descending from heaven, and taking points is like probing for things!

Even in the star-studded NBA, there are only a handful of scoring feasts like this, right?

Russell immediately called a long timeout, he needed time to sort out his thoughts, calm himself down, and at the same time let Yi Feng's hand cool down, interrupting the white team's scoring frenzy.

In the face of the white team's attack frenzy, or the attack frenzy that belongs to Yi Feng alone, it not only caught Russell off guard, but also made the people watching the game feel a great surprise.

The competition is only exciting if there is only one party singing a one-man show, that kind of competition is very boring.

Even the people in the stadium, most of them are in the shoes of the Americans, and they will not refuse a wonderful and intense game. All they want is Russell, who represents the Americans, and Yi Feng, who represents the Chinese.

And the process is not so important. So, more people want to see a good confrontation of equal strength than a boring slaughter.

In the first half, the white team was beaten by the red team and was powerless, but in the second half, the situation changed abruptly! The white team suddenly became different, and its combat effectiveness increased dramatically, so that the red team scored 11 points in a row without scoring a single point!

This is a great surprise for people who don't want to see boring slaughter.

What was even more surprising was the media from overseas, especially from China. When Yi Feng scored one goal after another, their cheers were the loudest!

Now, what is fighting on the field is the pride of China and the Chinese college players who let them have face!

After they saw Yi Feng's ball skills, they didn't have to worry about him being rejected by the NBA because of the previous fight.

To put it bluntly, the true law of this world is that the strong are respected, and the weak can only accept the fate of domination. The law of the jungle is extremely naked, and the law of the jungle is the strongest. This is true in all fields.

Yi Feng hit someone, but so what?

He has his own excellent strength, and he is not afraid that the NBA will abandon him. Those big-name stars have done all the ugly acts of drug use, prostitution, rape and so on, but have they been rejected by the NBA?

No!

Because they're big stars.

They have the strength, they have the charisma, they can attract a large number of fans, and that can bring benefits to the league. And in this world where money is paramount, people who can create a lot of wealth and bring huge amounts of money are extremely respectable.

Speaking of appeal to fans, Yi Feng, who has not yet entered the NBA, can already be said to be invincible. With his appearance, with his Chinese identity, these are incomparable to anyone in the NBA now.

Judging from his performance in the first two minutes of the second half, his skills were very good. You know, he's only 19 years old now, and he can get better in the future!

Can the NBA refuse such a player?

Finally, China is going to have a guard player who breaks into the NBA!

――――――

The 100-second timeout passed quickly, and although Russell couldn't convey everything to his teammates, the basic idea was expressed.

At the beginning of the second half, the white team launched a counter-offensive and achieved great results. As the red team, which was thought to be a must-win before the game, if it falls under the counterattack of the white team, then the first-round draft status of the red team's rookie may not be guaranteed.

I don't want to play the offense well, but at least the defense is good!

This is what Russell means mostly. Even if the red team can't attack on its own, as long as it prevents the white team's attack, then with a score difference of more than ten points, the game is still under the control of the red team.

Russell's timeout was still effective, and Yi Feng found that it was more difficult for him to break through, and after the breakthrough, the interior defense became much more active.

The red team's interior on the court at this time is Trey Lyles and Myles Turner.

Lyles is a graduate of the University of Kentucky, and he was a college teammate of Downs, Booker and others. THE HEIGHT OF 208CM IS THE STANDARD POWER FORWARD HEIGHT. Although he is good at defense, after the defensive enthusiasm comes up, even if he is based on his height alone, he still has a certain amount of pressure on the defenders who break through the inside.

TURNER IS 211CM TALL AND PLAYED POWER FORWARD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. Now he is partnered with Lyles on the inside, moving to the center position because of his better height.

Turner is athletic and has a delicate mid-range shot. And he's very good at blocking, and over time, he'll be able to become a first-class basket keeper. At that time, you can either dominate the game on the defensive end or score arbitrarily on the offensive end.

Turner has a bright future ahead and is quite capable at the moment.

After Yi Feng broke through Vaughn's stalking, Turner quickly blocked his way to the basket.

Yi Feng found that the big man in front of him was in a very good defensive position, and he was able to seal most of his shooting space. It can be said that facing him at this moment is the strongest defense encountered since the beginning of this confrontation.

In the face of such a defense, Yi Feng was not helpless.

With his eyes fixed on the basket, Yi Feng took the ball with both hands while striding with his left foot, with super explosive power, this step not only took a long distance, but also extremely fast.

The bigger you are, the slower your speed becomes.

Although Turner followed the defense, he was already preempted by Yi Feng for the lead of half the body.

However, Turner started out well and is now showing an advantage. After he followed the defense, he directly pasted Yi Feng, and under the physical confrontation, Yi Feng's speed obviously went down.

At this time, if Yi Feng is stuffy and his head is stiff, it is very likely that he will be given a big blood cap by Turner.

In this case, the speed and flexibility of the defenders are not reflected, but on the contrary, the tonnage, strength, confrontation and height of the interior will put them in an absolute advantage.

Even if Yi Feng's strength is as strong, but under the close grip, he is very strong and difficult to use three points. If you increase the speed and rush into the inside line, it is a different matter. For example, we can often see in some dunk highlights that after a guard player rushes into the interior, he gains air dominance by bounce, and after confronting the interior player in the air, he presses the opponent to dunk successfully.

Yi Feng is not stupid, but many times his basketball IQ is hidden under his strong physical fitness and first-class ball skills.

After he took a big step to the left, his left basketball shoe rubbed against the floor violently, making an extremely harsh sound, and then followed the friction, and his left foot kicked hard to the right!

The body that was originally moving to the left at high speed, after Yu Turner made physical contact, suddenly changed direction and turned sharply to the right!

European Step!

Or rather, an upgraded version of the European Step, Wechsler Lost Step!

The European step is a passing skill used in basketball when dribbling the ball to the basket, because the biggest highlight of this skill is the pace of the layup, which swings left and right with a large amplitude, which is easy for the defender to be unable to judge the direction of travel, causing the defender to lose the defensive position.

The founder of this pace can no longer be confirmed, and the origin of this pace cannot be verified, it is said that it is called the European step because of a passing step first adopted by European players when they went to the basket.

Former Lithuanian star Salunas Mathio Leonis was first used in the NBA, and later carried forward by Manu Ginobili in the NBA, and gradually became popular, becoming a template for later generations to imitate and learn.

Merriam-Webster's maze is Dwyane Wade's unique skill. In fact, his lost step is also a European step, but it is much faster than the average European step, which is why he is called "The Flash". Moreover, Wade is a rare person who can dunk after the European step, and his physical fitness is extremely strong.

Yi Feng's European step was very fast, not even inferior to Wade's lost step. Perhaps, his explosiveness is not inferior to Wade, coupled with his taller height and better arm span than Wade, maybe he can also dunk after the European step.

Sure enough, after Yi Feng took a European step, he gained a lot of room to shoot.

The right leg stepped heavily on the floor, the calf was tense, and the whole body was like a helicopter, and it was pulled up with a "whoosh".

In this case, he can even make a small windmill dunk with one foot and two hands!

What a wicked physique!
