Chapter 80: Pitch to the finals

In Ye Feng's view, from the beginning of his contact with basketball to the present, one of the people who has the greatest influence on him is his father Ye Ning, and the other is Hornacek. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 During the weeks that Hornacek was stranded in Los Angeles, Ye Feng would go to his rented cottage to practice his quick shooting almost every time he didn't have classes, and occasionally meet Abby who came to visit his father. But even when he saw Abby, he just hurriedly said hello, and then plunged into the basketball court to practice in the dark. Although it may seem like a solitary rhythm, his shooting speed has improved a lot, and in Hornacek's words, "it has worked".

And this time he was ready to use this secret weapon. The team was already mired in a tug-of-war after Calipari made adjustments, and it was only by relying on the advantage of the inside line at the beginning of the game to take a five-point lead. But now it's only 10 minutes later, and the five-point lead is negligible, and the opponent only needs two three-pointers to overtake the score. At this time, he couldn't help it, and he didn't explode his own small universe, but he couldn't even touch the finals.

Rose's breakthrough is indeed powerful, and his ability to combine the ball and his control of the body is the best Ye Feng has seen in the whole season. But there's one thing Rose doesn't shoot well, as evidenced by his 33.7 percent three-point shooting during the regular season. But this is Ye Feng's strong point, he originally played a qualified bottom corner three-point shooter most of the time, but only those who really put together his shooting heat map will be surprised to find that this guy's shooting percentage in the five areas outside the three-point line is almost the same, but the bottom corner is relatively slightly higher. Of course, this is also normal, because the bottom corner is the closest position to the basket outside the three-point line, and players who are usually new to the three-point shot will start with the bottom corner first.

Ye Feng is quite confident in his shooting, especially after practicing what Hornacek calls fast shooting, and he finds that his shooting skills have improved further. And when he practiced his shooting speed, Hornacek also gave him another small piece of advice, but at the same time, he also told him that this advice can be listened to or not, and it is up to him to choose. According to Hornacek's idea, even if they are all outside shots, they can distinguish distances, and if he can, he hopes that Ye Feng can further extend his range, although he doesn't require so perverted near the middle line, and one or two steps outside the three-point line is still required.

Ye Feng happily accepted this suggestion, but he never played ultra-long three-point shooting when practicing fast shooting, and with his current ability, he couldn't combine the two. However, generally speaking, in this position, few people can prevent his sudden shot, even if the shooting speed is not fast enough, this kind of suddenness is enough for the opponent to drink a pot. In this round, Ye Feng was ready to try three points from a long distance, which could be regarded as a tribute to Rose's goal just now.

So he asked Westbrook for the ball before halftime. Westbrook was surprised, but out of trust between his teammates, he didn't say anything, and directly handed the ball to Ye Feng, and he started to run. In the face of Ye Feng's super scoring ability, Rose decided to defend himself, which is also his pride. The two of them were still two steps away from the three-point line, and Rose was very old enough to leave Ye Feng half a meter away to prevent him from starting suddenly.

But Rose soon regretted that he had let his opponent go. In fact, there is no need to regret it at all, and normal people will not shoot in that position, and Rose, as the Tigers' outside defensive leader, chooses to deal with it is really no problem. But Ye Feng is not a normal person, except for near the middle line, almost the entire half is his range, which Rose can't think of at all. Seeing that the other party had left such a large distance in order to prevent himself from breaking through, Ye Feng couldn't wait to stuff him with a stack of good guy cards to express his "gratitude". If Rose knew what he was thinking, he would have told him very seriously, "Thank you, uncle!" Can you not be a routine? ā€

There's no way, Ye Feng just wants to trick you, this has already entered the shooting range, why don't you hurry up? Watching Ye Feng jump straight up and throw the ball out at such a long distance, Rose subconsciously thought that this guy was fooling around, of course, many fans and media reporters present and even the coaches of both sides also thought that Ye Feng was convulsing, but only he knew that this was a perfect thump! Rose just turned around to beckon his teammates to grab the defensive rebound, but his mouth opened wide in surprise because the basketball didn't go out of the basket as he thought, but a thrust into it.

At this moment, the entire arena was so silent that even the hardcore UCLA fans couldn't believe their eyes, even though they wanted their team to make it to the finals. Ye Feng's ultra-long three-point shot achieved an unimaginable effect, shocking everyone fiercely, the five players of the Tigers all looked at him like a strange thing, and Calipari also let out a lament on the sidelines: "God, what a monster this is!" Contrary to him, Holland, after a brief moment of surprise, suddenly jumped up from his seat, blushed and shouted, "Well done, Ye, just kick their ass like that!" Soon the crowd came to their senses, and the whole arena was filled with huge cheers.

Seeing that the other players of the Bruins came up and patted Ye Feng's shoulder and back, Rose's face showed an incredible expression. He knew that Ye Feng's three-point shot was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong, this is two steps outside the three-point line, what is the concept of shooting here? Although Rose himself is not good at long-range shooting, he also knows how difficult it is to be able to hit three-pointers in this position, and judging from Ye Feng's posture, this product is definitely at ease. Rose didn't know why anyone would practice a three-pointer so far, but since it appeared, it was reasonable.

Ye Feng doesn't care if it's reasonable or unreasonable, his philosophy has always been to learn everything he can use, and if he can use it, he will work hard to specialize, just like the advice Hornacek gave him. In his opinion, expanding his attack range is a good and harmless thing, didn't he see that the players of the Tigers were all beaten stupidly? This is the power of unconventional weapons, which has proven to be of considerable use on the field.

Although Rose felt incredible, he was also very unconvinced, feeling that Ye Feng was invincible, just like when he made an appointment to duel with a knight's sword, someone suddenly felt an AK47 from behind, not only to win you, but also to disgust you. After a failed Tigers offense, Bamot defended the defensive rebound under a chaotic basket, and Rose will once again face Ye Feng's bizarre shooting skills. This time, he learned to be obedient, only half a meter away from Ye Feng, which can not only prevent the opponent's breakthrough, but also effectively interfere when he is about to jump and shoot. "I'm such a genius!" Rose said to himself in his heart.

Ye Feng, who is a genius or not, doesn't care, he only knows that he has to change the way he scores. Ultra-long-range three-pointers can indeed give the opposing side a disadvantage, but in terms of practicality, fast shots can be used many times in the game. So Ye Feng pressed Rose forward little by little, and finally stood at the top of the arc. Seeing Ye Feng lower his center of gravity, Rose quickly tensed his nerves, and he immediately sank down and fell off the horse, putting on a standard defensive posture.

Ye Feng smiled slightly, quickly changed direction in front of his body and took a tentative step, and when Rose subconsciously reacted, Ye Feng quickly retracted his foot and shot directly on the spot. Rose was startled and was thinking of jumping to block, but at this time, Ye Feng had already made a move, and Rose couldn't touch the ball when he jumped. This time Rose was confused again, this is not scientific, I am just a little slower, why can't I even interfere? As a party, he didn't feel it, but Calipari, who was sitting on the sidelines, could see it clearly, Ye Feng had an obvious knee bending action before jumping, which showed that he was jumping with all his strength, plus his physical fitness was also first-class, and it was logical that Rose was cheated again without intention.

Soon this game turned into a big battle between Ross and Ye Feng. Rose's breakthrough was as sharp as thunder, inadvertently breaking through the entire defensive line; Ye Feng's shooting is as elegant as a breeze, but it is very strange in the eyes of everyone in the Tiger team. We know you're good at shooting, but can you shoot well? Is it fun to play these? Can you still have a good time? It can be said that Ye Feng is completely the biggest accident in this game, of course, the Brown Bears welcome such an accident, but the opponent's mood is not very good, not only difficult to defend but also accurate shooting, how to play?

Ye Feng's accurate shooting also greatly improved the morale of the Bruins, and almost everyone began to play on the court, and this desperate posture invisibly suppressed the opponent. Calipari couldn't even change the decline of the Tigers even after a pause, and even he scolded the players at halftime to no avail, the players were already stunned by Ye Feng's shooting, and under Ye Feng's "infection", the other players of the Bruins felt so good that they couldn't shoot it, how to shoot, and the point difference was always in double digits, and Rose couldn't get it back to single digits, let alone equalize.

In the end, Ye Feng scored 32 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists on 7-of-11 from beyond the three-point line, helping UCLA defeat the University of Memphis 74-60, avenging the opponent's revenge in the regular season, and successfully meeting the University of Kansas in the finals, and the finals were just a day later!
