Although Holland generously gave the team two days off, the players were only able to skip class on the first day, knowing that Holland did not greet the school on the second day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Others are naturally bitter, even if they don't say it, their hearts are extremely nostalgic for the warm big bed in the dormitory. But Ye Feng has no special ideas, he has never been a person who chooses to give up his studies for basketball, of course, entering the NBA early is not in this category, which is why he was elected as Mr. Basketball in California and got a high score of 2300 on the SAT test.

The day's class time passed quickly, but the meeting time notified by Holland was half past seven in the evening, and Ye Feng, who was out of class at four o'clock, looked at his watch and smiled helplessly: There are still three hours before leaving the meeting, so I have to find a way to pass the time. After thinking about it, he decided to go back to the dormitory to change his jersey and sneakers, and go to the stadium to practice for a while.

When he pushed open the door in full armor, he heard the sound of "clang" from inside. He said to himself, "Which madman is still here to practice?" We don't seem to have such diligent people on our team, do we? He muttered as he walked down the aisle toward the court.

Generally speaking, the team always likes to turn on the lights when they are training, but now there is only one person in the field, so only one light is turned on, and Ye Feng does not need to adapt to the change of light when standing at the door of the players' tunnel. It was easy for him to see the man, and the number 0 shirt he was wearing. Westbrook didn't notice the extra person on the sidelines, and was still engrossed in running, jumping, and shooting from beyond the three-point line.

Ye Feng took a closer look, Westbrook's obsession with wanting to improve his shooting was very admirable, but the root cause of his continuous iron was the problem of hand shape. While many players can achieve a high percentage of shots with their accustomed hand shapes, almost all of the all-time shooters have textbook shots.

With a "bang", Westbrook did not pick up the ball, but sat down on the spot, his face full of chagrin. Ye Feng walked forward with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Russell, I didn't expect you to start practicing three-point shooting soon, it seems that you still care about this championship very much!" Westbrook smiled wryly, "What's the use of caring?" I can't improve my hit rate even if I care! ”

Ye Feng shook his head, pulled him up, and said seriously: "That's what I'm going to say, your shooting hand is not standard enough." The first shot point is best just above the forehead, and then the auxiliary hand holds the ball, the dominant hand should be relaxed, so that the palm is close to the basketball, so that there is no gap between the palm and the basketball. Press down on your wrist to about 180 degrees, and finally use your fingers to pluck the ball out. ”

Seeing that Westbrook seemed to understand whether he understood or not, Ye Feng simply picked up the ball he threw and showed him it one by one. After watching it a few times, Westbrook hesitantly took the basketball, slowly adjusted his hand shape according to what Ye Feng said, and threw the ball. Although he was not used to the new shooting hand, this time his long-range shot went smoothly into the basket.

Westbrook looked at Ye Feng in surprise and couldn't stop thanking: "Ye, I love you so much, I only know how your shot came about now." But then again, it seems that you don't need to be so serious every time, right? Ye Feng smiled: "When you practice to make this standard hand shape a habit, you don't need to use it deliberately, and you can shoot accurate three-pointers on the court naturally." ”

After speaking, Ye Feng also brought a basketball and practiced with Westbrook. The two practiced shooting while communicating with each other, and they didn't feel the passage of time at all. It wasn't until Loew called to call Ye Feng to go to dinner with him that he found out that it was already half past six. After asking if it was still in the cafeteria, Ye Feng said hello, put away the ball with Westbrook, and ran to the cafeteria in his jersey.

Loew was very surprised to see the two of them sweating all over, and he asked, "Why did you two go this afternoon?" Didn't you train today? Westbrook smiled embarrassedly and said, "We're going for special training...... Don't say so much, let's eat first! Loew didn't ask much, and the three of them ate their food in a hurry.

The evening meeting was held in the largest conference room of the university, which showed the status of NCAA in American colleges and universities. When Ye Feng and the three of them came to the conference room, the other players were basically there, and seeing the jerseys on Ye Feng and Westbrook that had not yet dried, Holland's eyes flashed with a glint of approval.

Soon it was half past seven, and the entire team including assistant coaches and scouts and other staff were already seated, Holland coughed lightly, turned on the projector, and said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the NCAA regular season will officially start on November 22nd, this is a new start for us, and I hope to get better results than last season." Everyone in the room didn't speak, but their breathing suddenly became much heavier, and they all knew that UCLA had reached the Final Four last season, and "better results" meant that the coach's goal would be the NCAA Finals!

Looking at the fiery eyes of the players, Holland nodded with satisfaction: "I can see that everyone is very motivated, which is very good." And what kind of opponents you have to face in the regular season, I will talk about it in detail, and players in the second year and above don't have to listen. The NCAA basketball season begins in late November each year, usually ends around early March, followed by a month of "March Madness." During the regular season, each institution plays a member of their respective league twice, home and away; Each institution will also choose to fight against some schools outside the alliance to improve its own strength and build momentum for itself. ”

"At the end of the regular season, most leagues generally take the top eight teams from that league to play a single-elimination league championship match, and the winner who is decided by the league championship game basically automatically qualifies for the NCAA tournament. With the exception of the automatic promotion of the champions of each league, the remaining spots in the NCAA tournament are determined by the committee, known as an expanded invitation. The eligibility for invitations is basically determined by the record and the strength of the alliance. ”

"And we," Holland suddenly raised his voice, "as one of the four strongest teams last season, the only goal is to compete for the title of our Pacific Ten University League!" To hell with those bullshit enlargement invitations! ”

At this time, a freshman suddenly raised his hand, and Ye Feng saw that it was the team's substitute striker Kevin Schmidt. He asked, "Coach, are we strong in the Ten University League?" As soon as he finished speaking, a low laugh came from beside him.

Holland didn't laugh, he said seriously: "The Pacific Ten University League is a sports-centered college league, and it is also the earliest college league established in the United States, which belongs to the highest level of NCAA Division I divisional league. In addition to us, there are HSD University, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, University of Southern California, HSD State University, University of Arizona, Arizona State University, University of Oregon and Oregon State University, many of which have produced famous stars and are not ordinary in the NCAA. ”

"In addition to them, I will invite other strong teams to play against us, and picking weak teams will make me feel insulting to you. For now, I've reached an agreement with Duke, North Carolina, Iowa State and Kentucky, and Kansas and Maryland have replied that they still need to consider schedules. Every time he said the name of a school, there was a little more noise below, and when the names of the six universities were all released, the discussion of the team members began to make his ears ring.

Holland coughed, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he couldn't help but tap the microphone twice, and the team members saw his gaze as if they were about to eat people, and quickly closed their mouths. He snorted coldly and said: "We are going for the championship, and we don't even dare to touch the top teams, so let's take advantage of the early vacation, so as not to be embarrassed by the championship!" Where did the team members dare to touch his moldy head, they all lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, and they didn't dare to come out.

Holland vented for a while before slowly calming down and letting everyone continue to look at the projection screen: "These are all the materials that our scout Mr. Cornell helped us find, the top players of the NCAA new season, and you are likely to need to meet them in a life-or-death tournament, of course, like Mayo and Badinger in the same league, you must meet twice in the regular season, and there is no room for error." ”

"Michael Beasley, Kansas State prodigy swingman at the No. 3 or 4 position, combines his beastly physicality with a relatively soft shooting touch, and a strong desire to fight that makes him a great player in college......

"Derrick Rose, the University of Memphis point guard, has great physical attributes, he can change direction and accelerate constantly during the break, and he can maintain his physical balance even when there is a physical confrontation......

"Eric Gordon, an Indiana University shooter, is tough, smart and has been consistent. Although he is not tall, his strong body can create more space for him to shoot......"

……

As the slides continued to flash, everyone's expressions became more and more solemn, including the team's interior pillar Loew, only Ye Feng and Westbrook's eyes burst out with strong fighting intent. For them, it is even more valuable to be able to compete with opponents in the same division. As for those opponents who are not strong, even if they win, they will not have much sense of achievement, and in their eyes, the strength can only be stronger if they fight.

Looking at the clenched fists of his backcourt combination and revealing a hint of excitement, Holland nodded slightly in relief. As the engine and scorer of the team, they must have the quality to be competitive in the face of strong opponents.

After a list of dozens of people played for half an hour, Holland slowly turned off the projector and said loudly: "Everyone, the new season is about to start, this is the beginning of your fight for UCLA and for yourself!" Whether or not you can stand at the top of the NCAA next March depends on whether you can reach your full potential! UCLA, Win! ”

"Victory!"
