Just as everyone was coaxing loudly for Ye Feng's fancy dunk, Holland walked into the training ground with his hands behind his back. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info saw everyone's chaotic appearance, his brows furrowed, and he cleared his throat heavily. Immediately, the players who gathered around Ye Feng scattered one after another, hurriedly lined up one by one, and waited anxiously for the head coach to fall. Seeing that the others had become good babies, Ye Feng smiled helplessly, and also stood at the back of the line.

Holland smiled at Ye Feng, and then his face became serious: "In the next game, the opponent is still in the same division as us, and we have to fight away." Before Holland could finish speaking, the players immediately "buzzed" below. It's not that they're afraid of fatigue from the journey, after all, everyone is in the same competition area, no matter how far they go, they are just afraid of another accident like Ye Feng. The last time we lost at the home of Iowa State, everyone was very aggrieved.

Everyone's bitter face couldn't hide from Holland, and he guessed the inner thoughts of the players after a little thought. But instead of reassuring everyone's thoughts, he continued: "This time our opponent is our sister university, the UC Berkeley Golden Bears, so what you are worried about will basically not happen. Before the players' expressions could turn cloudy, Holland's next sentence knocked them back to square one: "But in my opinion, this game is going to be tough. ”

Someone raised their hands and asked weakly, "Coach, is it tougher than the last game against Iowa State?" Holland snorted and said, "At least it's not worse than that game, because this time their advantage is our weakness!" He abruptly turned to Shipp: "Josh, tell everyone, where are your strengths and where are your weaknesses?" ”

Shipp was stunned for a moment, blushed and said: "Coach, my advantage is that I can open up space from the middle distance, and my weakness is that I am not strong in rebounding protection." Holland shook his head and said, "Why do I say that the opponent's advantage in this game is our weakness?" This weakness is right here for you! Shipp was taken aback and asked, "Then why does the coach think this game is the team's weakness?" ”

Holland said with a serious expression: "Because the opponent's trump card is a space-type No. 4 position." Shipp couldn't understand what a spatial number four position was, and still looked at the coach with puzzled eyes. Seeing that most of the people were at a loss, Holland said slowly, "What is the spatial type four?" As we all know, most of the first big forwards were developed to escort the center, and their main responsibilities were defense and rebounding. Later, a big forward with scoring ability is not inferior to that of a center and has more mobile ability. The spatial No. 4 position is a big forward who has a range far beyond the three-point line and can open up space and put huge pressure on the opponent. Josh is a good power forward, but he can't talk about the perimeter to defend the opposing power forward. And this time we are facing a super high battery! ”

He motioned for the assistant coach to bring his notebook, and on the screen was a fairly handsome white young man with short hair that looked very capable. Holland coughed lightly and introduced: "Ryan Anderson, CAL (UC Berkeley) sophomore, 2.06 meters tall, the team's starting power forward. Last season, he averaged 1.8 three-pointers per game and shot 38.2 percent from three-point range......

Hearing this number, there was an uproar below. For a power forward, such a three-point shooting percentage is simply terrifying, and even in his own team, few people can do better. Shipp's face turned even pale, he had already roughly guessed what Holland was going to say.

Sure enough, Holland continued: "This player has such a beautiful three-point shot, which means that he is an absolute threat from the outside, but unfortunately, Josh can't defend it, and he can't defend it." Their backup guard Christopher from last season has made his mark and is currently the team's second-leading scorer. If Josh pulls to the perimeter to defend Anderson, we're going to have a lot of trouble on the inside. ”

After listening to the coach's words, the players looked at each other. They always thought that CAL was not strong, after all, they are currently in the penultimate place in the entire division, but they didn't expect their strong point to be such an outside gun, and given the team's staffing, it seems that it will be really difficult to target Anderson. Could it be that this guy who is more than 2 meters is allowed to fire frantically on the outside, and we are watching on the inside?

Ye Feng was also thinking hard about countermeasures. In such a situation, it is obvious that Shipp can't be defended, but Anderson's height is simply dominant outside the three-point line, and he has too much space for the team on the outside, and if he doesn't deal with it well, he will be blown up by the opponent nine times out of ten. But now no outside defender at UCLA can cross that height difference of at least ten centimeters, which means jumping with all your might for every interference. It's okay to say that the opponent's ball is shot, but I'm afraid it's a shooting feint, and it will fly away in a flash, so what can I do to stop it?

Before Ye Feng could come up with a good solution, Holland blew the whistle to start training. However, Ye Feng was not discouraged, he was still thinking hard while training, and was almost hit on the head by the ball passed by Westbrook.

Seeing Ye Feng's preoccupied appearance, Westbrook did not "care" about the cooperation mistake just now. Taking advantage of everyone's short rest, he secretly came to Ye Feng's side and asked in a low voice: "You are very out of shape in training today, is it possible that the disease has not been cured yet?" Ye Feng glanced at him angrily: "Can you speak?" Don't ask such stupid questions just because you're the captain of the team. You're not cured, I'm just thinking about how to deal with CAL. ”

Westbrook said nonchalantly, "What do you want to do so much?" When the time comes, we can fight as much as we want, and it's a big deal to prevent the other four people and let Anderson play alone, can't we fight against him? Ye Feng's eyes lit up: Let the strongest point be singled? This idea is not bad, no matter how strong a player is, he has physical exertion, which means that their strength follows time, and if he isolates his teammates, then he will have to do more things in the same time, and the physical loss will be more serious. So generally speaking, a single-core NBA team cannot win the championship, which is the biggest disadvantage of this kind of team.

And judging from the team's firepower, even if it is an offensive match, it is absolutely not worthwhile, and even some militants in the team prefer to fight against their opponents, and it is best to play a high score, so as to have a sense of existence, and maybe attract a few female fans.

After figuring it out, Ye Feng seemed to suddenly put down a big stone. He let out a sigh of relief, and secretly laughed that he was worried too much, not to mention that he was playing a point guard, at most he was a swing guard, what should he worry about the team's tactics? This kind of overall problem is left to Coach Holland to have a headache.

However, the hardest part of the whole training process was Shipp, and his training intensity was even better than Ye Feng, who needed a lot of training to recover his condition. Although Holland hasn't figured out how to deal with Anderson's outside shooting for a while, as the team's starting power forward, Shipp still needs to be familiar with high post defense and dropping back to protect the basket. He had hardly encountered such a strange opponent before, and he was quite uncomfortable in the face of such training content, and he repeatedly made the assistant coach blow off the tactical running position and explain some precautions to him alone. Seeing the expressions of his teammates who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, Shipp, as one of the oldest players in the starting five, could only pretend not to see it and continued to practice silently.

Blake couldn't bear to whisper to Holland, "Ben, is it really okay to train him like this?" When it's time for the official competition, you may not be able to stop it at all! Holland shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "It's good to prepare in advance, Josh is really good, and he is also a big forward that is very suitable for Kevin, but Anderson is a star player after all, and his technical characteristics still restrain Josh." If he's always pulling up the high post to shoot, I haven't figured out how to crack it. Now I can only take one step at a time, so let's practice what I should practice first! ”

At the end of the two-hour training, everyone was so tired that they were on their backs, and one by one they collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath. Of course, this is not to say that the training content was very hard today, the main problem is still with Shipp. Whenever he didn't run a good game, Blake would blow the whistle and take a timeout, and then ask the team to run it again. At first, everyone muttered a few words, and by the way, they despised him fiercely with their eyes. But gradually, everyone didn't even have the strength to mumble, and they would only run mechanically again and again, and their eyes gradually became numb, as if to say, "Please, can you stop making mistakes again?" We're working hard too, aren't we? ”

Shipp was under a lot of pressure throughout the training session, he didn't know if he could defend against that Anderson, and now he was overtraining with his teammates so much, he felt very unhappy. Seeing Shipp's expression, Ye Feng and Westbrook glanced at each other, stepped forward and grabbed Shipp's shoulders left and right. Ye Feng smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, man, isn't it just a three-point shooter?" No matter how high he is, he is just one person, and we are afraid that we will not be able to win if we work together? ”

Westbrook also added fuel and vinegar on the side: "That's it, Ye is right, we will fight according to our own tactics, you can do your own thing, there are two of us on the outside." If you want to shoot on the outside, you have to ask me and Ye about the defense first! ”

Shipp smiled, looked at the two juniors beside him, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, I admit that he is very strong, but if you want to pass our UCLA level, he is still a little tender." We're not weak chickens to be by! ”
