Chapter Seventy-Five: The Final Four
The Musketeers team from the coach to the players are all confused, although the difference is still 8 points, it stands to reason that they still have the advantage, but Ye Feng successfully led the rhythm of the Bruins, and they didn't even have to imitate. www.biquge.info Miller unconsciously tugged at his hair and stared blankly at the No. 13, feeling dark: Why does this guy play better than a real point guard? Is it really good that you're so good at organizing and willingly treating yourself as a scorer?
Ye Feng doesn't understand the opponent's feelings, how much of a deal is it for him to play a point guard? He is never picky when he watches videos and videos, he has seen the videos of famous No. 1 to No. 5 stars in NBA history, and he has to admit that he himself has quite a strong talent, otherwise he will immediately be able to play decently when Abdul-Jabbar comes to explain "Sky Hook" to the UCLA insider group. Although he is more than 2 meters tall, because he has played a scoring guard for a whole regular season, he is also a backcourt player, so it is a natural thing to switch this game.
Westbrook's eyes widened in the audience, he didn't know the level of his junior and friend, but he could still maintain such a calm mind in such a fierce division final, are you really still an individual? You can't have all gears and oil in your body, right? Anyway, Westbrook admits that he can't do it, he's the kind of person who goes crazy, and it's easy to get on the hook after being teased a few times in a key game, leaving all the tactical arrangements behind him, and only thinking about himself and overthrowing the entire team of others. But Ye Feng is different, this kid prefers to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and many times he will pretend to be harmless in front of his opponent, standing in the bottom corner and throwing a few three-pointers or something. But if he does, it's an icy volcano - a fury born of calm.
Holland looked at the incredible expression of the lover beside him, patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Russell, although it may be a bit demeaning to say this, I still hope you can take a more look at Ye's performance." You are a quality point guard with a lot of potential, but personality is your biggest weakness, the point guard is the brain of the team, and no team needs a brain that easily falls into madness on its own. This game is a good learning opportunity for you, before I used to ask Collison to partner with Ye, but today it was Ye to sing the leading role. Westbrook let out a long exhale and said solemnly, "Thank you, coach, I know what to do." If I can't control my emotions, then I can only be a good player, not a top star. Holland nodded with satisfaction: The children are teachable!
While the master and apprentice were still communicating off the court, the Bruins had quickly equalized the score. Ye Feng almost completely gave up his scoring ability, and instead kept making balls for his teammates with his broad field vision. The other four people were also quite calm inside, they found that as long as they ran according to the team's tactical routine, Ye Feng could always seize the fleeting opportunity to pass the ball directly to them, and the rest depended on how they wanted to send the ball to the basket. You like to show off, and if you like to be steady, Ye Feng basically passes the ball according to their respective preferences. In the same situation, when it is passed to you, it may be a simple direct pass, and when it is passed to him, it will be a weird hit, in general, it is how comfortable and how to pass, Ye Feng is a person who likes to brush assists.
The Bruins are very happy, the Musketeers are very unhappy, how can any team change their tactical style at any time? And only replaced with an insignificant big rookie. But people are so brutal, but it's no wonder that they didn't expect it, after all, Ye Feng hid it very deeply. Only those who know him well know that he can play at least three positions: point guard, shooting guard and small forward. Of course, letting him defend Anderson in the regular season was also Holland's helpless move, but he himself never admitted that he couldn't play the other two positions.
In the eyes of Bamot, Shipp and Loew, Westbrook's passing is very direct, so many times he needs to use the breakthrough to pull out a lot of space and then pass the ball to his teammates. But Ye Feng's passing is particularly weird, because it's hard to imagine that he can pass the ball to a seemingly impossible position when almost all around him is blocked. And that position is undoubtedly a vacancy. It's not that Westbrook is inferior to Ye Feng in the No. 1 position, this is purely determined by the different personalities and technical characteristics of the two people, and of course they also have their own advantages. However, in comparison, Ye Feng is more like the one who plays with his brain, although his physical fitness is not at all like Westbrook, but he looks like he plays more easily.
On the pitch, an easy play usually means a painful defence, and that's how the five Musketeers are feeling right now. What's more, in addition to attacking, Ye Feng also dug a lot of big holes for them on the defensive end very inauthentically, forcing them to attack with the most brutal individual singles. If you have to cooperate, they only dare to come up with the simplest blocking, and the complex ones can't be used at all. Holland had long felt numb to Ye Feng's demonic eyes, and only Miller still looked at him like a ghost. It is true that many players in the NCAA have high ball quotients, but players like Ye Feng who are almost qualified as assistant coaches are really rare.
The Musketeers, who were suppressed on both ends of the floor, were quickly pulled away by the Bruins, and although the gap was not so big as to be desperate, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't close it. Even so, the Bruins still had a 15-point lead at the end of the first half, and the Musketeers were repeatedly deflated by Ye Feng after a strong start, scoring only 25 points at halftime. And Ye Feng's personal half-court statistics are quite weird, as the team scoring champion of the Bruins, he only took 3 shots to score 6 points, but handed out 10 assists, even Bamot, who lacked offensive ability to the point of explosion, also got a few opportunities to cut to the basket. However, the main scorer was Loew, who scored 17 points in the half, and the team also scored a total of 40 points.
At halftime, the Bruins' locker room was full of laughter, and Holland also smiled as he watched the players laugh and play, only briefly talking about a few things to watch out for in the second half at the end of the break. On the other hand, the Musketeers, the locker room can no longer be described as gloomy and miserable, full of negative energy. Everyone sat in their seats and was silent, and even Dunn, who contributed 12 points and seven rebounds in the first half, covered his face with a towel. Miller shouted several times in a row to call the souls of the players back, after all, they still had some hope of beating UCLA before that, but reality gave them a heavy slalom kick in the first 20 minutes.
The old spicy Miller also wanted to break his head, but unfortunately he couldn't find any strategy that could suppress the other party. If the Bruins with Westbrook ball control are manual four-speed cars, then under the leadership of Ye Feng, they have become automatic sports cars, more agile, faster, and more flawless. Miller let out a long sigh, he knew that Xavier University had gone far in this game, and at this moment he was even full of envy and jealousy towards Holland: Why is your team able to sort out the tactical system even if you have a shooting guard? Isn't that the rhythm of two top-notch point guards? You're too extravagant, aren't you? Of course, this can't be called luxury, it can only be said that UCLA's luck is against the sky, recruiting two monsters in the backcourt for two consecutive years.
In order to ensure the victory of this game, Holland worked hard to let Ye Feng play the entire second half again, anyway, the semifinals will start on April 5, and nearly a week's rest is enough for any player to recover his strength. At this time, no one will think that it is inappropriate to continue to put the main force, is there a suspicion of beating the water dogs, in such an important game, it is not too careful at all, when you can win 20 points, you can't only win 19 points! Ye Feng also thought so, so he was quite excited in the remaining 20 minutes, but his excitement was still rational, unlike Westbrook, who had to play five when he was excited.
If the game against Iowa State University showed the world Ye Feng's strong scoring ability, then this time Ye Feng's organizational ability was fully displayed in front of everyone. Is it normal to score 10 points on 8 shots in the whole game? It's not normal for Ye Feng, but what's even more abnormal is that he handed out 18 assists and only made two turnovers, and almost everyone thought of a historical-level vacant master - Kidd. However, Kidd is because his shooting is not accurate, and Ye Feng is purely lazy to be in the limelight, so Ye Feng's ability is at least not below Kidd.
In the end, UCLA defeated Xavier University by 19 points 76-57 under Ye Feng's thread, taking the lead in advancing to the final four of this season's NCAA, tying the team's record last season. In the other division finals that ended on the same day, North Carolina, the top seed in the Eastern Conference, defeated the University of Louisville 83-73 to also reach the semifinals. By March 30, the winners of the other two divisional finals had been decided, with the University of Kansas, the top seed in the Midwest Region, narrowly beating Davidson College 59-57, and the University of Memphis, the top seed in the Southern Region, led by Ross, beating the University of Texas 85-67.
So far, the final four of the NCAA2007-08 season have all been released, and they are all the top seeds in their respective regions. According to the schedule, the semi-finals will be held on April 5 local time at the Alamo Arena in San Antonio, Texas, where Ye Feng will meet Rose, who once beat him, and his University of Memphis!
