Chapter 43: Is This Okay?
Got a way? Everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and the worship of Coach Holland in their hearts was like a surging river: worthy of being the boss of the team, this situation can still come up with a way! It's still up to us to enforce it, and it's not sure if it will work, but it's a good thing to have a way. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The impatient Westbrook jumped out again and shouted: "Coach, then you hurry up and talk about it, if we don't come up with some countermeasures, we will really be driven crazy by the opponent!" Holland glared at him angrily and said, "Can you kid not speak?" When will I be able to finish my speech? Westbrook was stunned for a moment, and then saw that his teammates were all looking at him with unkind faces, laughed dryly, and weakly shrank to Ye Feng's side.
Seeing that no one was making trouble, Holland coughed lightly and said bluntly, "I want you to have more physical contact when defending Anderson." "What? Physical contact? Everyone at UCLA was dumbfounded, and they even wondered if the coach was crazy, and nine times out of ten the referee was going to blow a defensive foul. If Anderson had been a little smarter, we would have to go forward!
However, Ye Feng was not included among the people who were surprised. While he's not sure if physical contact is a bad idea, it's at least feasible because it's not a FIBA arena. In basketball, there is a cylinder rule, which is comparatively stricter than the NBA. In NBA games, the cylinder of the basket is only mentioned in the relevant rules for interfering with the ball, and illegal physical contact (i.e., fouls) has nothing to do with the cylinder rule in the NBA rulebook.
But in FIBA matches, the cylinder occupied by the player is first specified (no more than the palm of the hand in the front, no more than the hip in the back, and no more than the outside of the arms and legs on both sides), and then the concept of the cylinder is used to define the boundaries of fouls. There are three main rules: 1. Each player has the right to own the position on the ground and the space above him (i.e. the cylinder), 2. This principle protects the position on the ground occupied by the player and the space above him, and 3. Once the player leaves his vertical position (cylinder) and makes physical contact with the opposing player who has established the vertical position (cylinder), the player who leaves the vertical position (cylinder) is responsible for the contact. There are two caveats to this last point: 1. There is no penalty for a defender who leaves the ground vertically (not beyond his cylinder) or who extends his hands and arms fully within the cylinder, and 2. The offensive player must not make contact with the defender, whether on the ground or in the air, or use his arms to extend his own extra space.
Obviously, Anderson is not known for his strength, and if he disrupts his rhythm or even interferes with his center of gravity when shooting, it can easily lead to a decrease in his shooting percentage, after all, no one can hit all kinds of difficult shots one after another. Thinking of "interference", Ye Feng showed a lewd smile at the corner of his mouth, of course he didn't want to come to Yin, but he suddenly remembered a good way of defending, this kind of defense is hateful even in the NBA.
Seeing Ye Feng snickering there alone, and looking at the other people who were noisy around him, Holland sighed secretly: It seems that only this kid understands what I want to do! Forget it, that's it, let's let them do their best! Holland said solemnly: "That's right, it's physical contact, you have all seen it, although Anderson is a power forward, but his physical confrontation ability is not strong, I believe that physical contact can disrupt his rhythm." For a shooter, if the shooting rhythm is not right, it means a sharp drop in shooting percentage. ”
Still scratching his head, Westbrook quietly asked, "Ye, aren't we looking for fouls ourselves when we make physical contact when he shoots?" Looking at that guy's shooting ability, the free throws shouldn't be bad, does this count as sending points directly to him? Ye Feng gave him a punch and said in a low voice: "Stupid, won't you use other methods to find physical contact?" Do you have to be so obviously fouled? There are some non-contact methods that can reduce his hit rate, right? ”
"How to do it without contact?" This time Westbrook is even more confused, but anyway, he is not the only one on the outside, since Ye Feng is the first to speak, then he must be allowed to take the lead! Westbrook comforted himself like this, and he didn't get too to the bottom of it.
Aside from Anderson's big trouble, CAL doesn't pose much of a threat to UCLA, at least not enough to decide the outcome of the game. And judging from the first half of the game, the team played at a normal level in other aspects, and there was no need to change the style of play, so Holland told the players to hurry up and recover after emphasizing how to deal with Anderson's outside shooting.
It is estimated that only Westbrook knows that Ye Feng has some ideas of his own, and the others are still at a loss. In their eyes, this is an almost impossible task, and more physical contact may result in a faster loss. However, when they saw Ye Feng's confident appearance, they were a little lacking in confidence: can they really play like this? You won't play yourself to death, will you? If Ye Feng knew what they were thinking, he would rush up and slap him alone.
The intermission passed quickly, and before everyone could rest enough, the staff came knocking on the door. Everyone put on their equipment and walked towards the players' tunnel one after another. Westbrook pushed Ye Feng with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Ye, are you really sure?" Don't let people be punished before the second half is played! ”
Ye Feng rolled his eyes: "Day, can you speak?" What does it mean to be punished? How could a powerful faction like me end up like this? He gritted his teeth and smiled: "Thank you captain for your concern, I won't be blown foul so easily, when the time comes, let's see if I go down first, or if that guy becomes an iron maniac first!" ”
In the first leg of the second half, possession was given to CAL. They didn't know what UCLA had set up at halftime, and they didn't dare to give the ball to Anderson alone. Under Randle's command, Anderson only hovered around the free-throw line and was not directly outside the three-point line. Randall didn't let him cover for him, but instead greeted Perkin, but dribbled to the weak side when he picked him up.
Seeing this, Anderson hurried to the other side and slipped to the baseline with Harding's off-ball cover. But fortunately, Loew had already noticed that something was wrong, and he let Shipp go out to defend Harding, while he was firmly stuck in the three-second zone, and Anderson ended up running away empty, not even having a chance to catch the ball.
But is there really no chance at all? Anderson ran directly from the baseline to the free throw line, but Loew watched but didn't follow, in this case, if he really came out, then the interior line would have no deterrent effect at all. Anderson, with his height and long legs, reached the top of the arc in a few steps, and Randle immediately passed the ball to him, and it was Bamot who stood in front of him.
Ye Feng's heart tightened: This guy doesn't know the size of physical contact! Sure enough, before Ye Feng asked to change the defense, Bamot raised his hands and squeezed towards Anderson. And what about Anderson? He smiled disdainfully, lit up Bamot, and then leaned in directly, letting Bamot's hand hit his ball carrier. It's obviously a cheat foul, but who makes Bamo's stunts inferior? He didn't hold back at all, and the two bumped into each other without any fancy, and the natural referee decisively blew for a foul on Bamot's hitman, giving Anderson three free throws.
Seeing Anderson calmly walking to the free throw line, Bamot's eyes were red, and if he hadn't been worried that he was still playing, he might have really rushed up and beaten Anderson into a pig's head. At this time, Ye Feng came over and whispered to him: "It's okay Richard, aren't we still ahead now?" The next time he comes to the outside, you switch guards with me, and I'll teach you how to deal with him. Remember, physical contact is not a foul. ”
Anderson undoubtedly hit all three free throws to leave the margin to just two points, but Westbrook retaliated with a breakaway dunk that turned the deficit into four points again. It was the turn of the CAL offense again, and Anderson broke free from the entanglement of UCLA players and appeared outside the three-point line, and the basketball was in his hands at the right time. Originally, this change of defense was changed to Westbrook, but Ye Feng had already greeted him in advance and defended Anderson by himself.
Anderson's ball control is not bad in the big man inside, but when it comes to the backcourt players, it is only a team axe. He also knew that it was not advisable to stop the ball for too long, and besides, he was still the defender in front of him when he made his first three-pointer of the game. In Anderson's opinion, the yellow-skinned kid's technique is not bad, but it is not enough to stop his outside projection. So he didn't hesitate to pull it up and shoot.
Suddenly, he saw a hand reach out from beneath his vision, and it was slowly climbing until it completely obscured his entire vision. At this time, he was already jumping, whether it was shooting or passing, he was not sure at all if his view was blocked. Of course, he was surprised by Ye Feng's bounce, but even more surprised were Bamot and Westbrook. When Ye Feng jumped up violently but did not touch the basketball, but covered his face with both hands on Anderson, they deeply realized what it means to "non-contact physical contact".
That's right, it's NBA star Battier's most used trick to blindfold the defense, specifically against big-name stars like Kobe Bryant and James. While this kind of defense is mostly distracting and useless against NBA superstars, it is more than enough to interfere with Anderson's shooting.
Anderson, who had lost his vision, panicked and could only throw the ball by feeling. Ye Feng didn't even turn his head to look, he smiled and shouted for Loew and Shipp to compete for the rebound. Behind him, there was a "bang", and the basketball popped out of the frame.
