Chapter 26: The First Battle of USC (2)

Soon UCLA fans were taking in the stadium and unsurprisingly booing the USC players as they warmed up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, since they are on the territory of their sworn enemies, these players are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they responded to the opponent's boos with their middle fingers in the warm-up, and of course they also received higher decibel shouts.

Looking at the crowd of UCLA fans, everyone on the Trojans team didn't care, and occasionally a few with slightly pale faces were also freshmen and marginal figures on the team. Mayo, the team's main player, seemed to disdain to provoke the home fans, standing outside the three-point line and shooting the ball into the basket again and again.

The team's starting small forward, Jefferson, rolled his eyes and said to Mayo: "Anthony (O.J. Mayo's full name is O'Witton Jay Anthony Mayo), you see that we are at UCLA's home court, shouldn't we hit them hard?" Mayo put down the ball in his hand and asked nonchalantly, "So what are you going to do?" Jefferson put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile, "Anyway, the Bruins are in the other half, why don't you dunk them a dunk?" Mayo didn't say anything and retreated to near the halfway line with the ball.

Seeing that Mayo was preparing for a slam dunk performance, the rest of the USC deliberately applauded loudly, focusing the eyes of fans and opponents on the No. 32 who was ready to go. Mayo took a deep breath, and the whole person suddenly started, dribbling the ball and rushing directly to the basket. When his left foot crossed the three-point line, Mayo jumped with all his might, swapped the ball from his right hand to his left hand under his crotch in mid-air, and then half-turned and smashed the ball into the basket.

I have to say that this is a pretty beautiful dunk, and the drumming noise of UCLA fans instantly weakened a lot, and they were also shocked by this crotch change dunk. Of course, all this was seen by the players of the Bruins, they all showed unconvinced expressions on their faces, and they all looked at the two dunk maniacs on the team - Westbrook and Ye Feng, it was obvious that they wanted their trump cards to go up and suppress the arrogance of the opposite side.

For Ye Feng, his fun lies in winning the game, and he doesn't want to mix too much with this kind of behavior, which is no different from fighting bravely. But some people didn't want to let him go, Westbrook also saw the eyes of his teammates, but he didn't want to be in the limelight this time, but looked at Ye Feng with bad intentions.

Seeing Westbrook's "affectionate" eyes, Ye Feng was startled, quickly pulled away and said, "Russell, I solemnly tell you that I don't like men, don't look at me with that kind of look." Westbrook laughed and said, "Phew, do you like men to do my business?" I just want you to dunk. ”

Ye Feng's eyes widened: "Please, why me?" You see Mayo is the captain of USC, and we have to send a captain, right? No matter how you say it, it should be you, it's a big deal, I'll give you a hand next to you. Westbrook pretended to have a serious expression, he held back a smile and said: "Ye, this is not right, although Mayo is the captain, but you are not me who will be opposite him when the game is later, as a scoring guard, it is necessary for you to suppress his momentum." ”

Other teammates also coaxed on the side: "Yes, Ye, if you win now, maybe he will be weak when he is in the position with him!" "Why wait? As soon as Ye came out of the horse, that Mayo must have wilted at once! "Ye, now is a good opportunity to hit the opponent's core, don't you want to go?"

"Stop!" Ye Feng yelled, then shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal for you guys to watch the excitement, then I'll deduct one and show it to USC, so that they know that we UCLA are not easy to mess with!" ”

Of course, there are also those who care about him, Loew poked Ye Feng and asked worriedly: "Ye, is it really good to waste your physical strength to play dunk like this before the start of the game?" Do you want to think again? Ye Feng waved his hand and said: "Kevin, it's no longer a question of whether I can dunk or not, but whether I can mobilize the emotions of us and even the fans." Now that Russell pushed me out, I've got to dunk this basket! Loew was stunned for a moment, and then stopped persuading him.

Holding the basketball, Ye Feng quickly thought in his heart: Mayo's dunk is really good, but it is not too difficult to surpass, what kind of tricks do you use? Pregnant! Ye Feng's eyes lit up: Just use that!

After making up his mind, Ye Feng did not retreat to the middle line like Mayo, he just stood outside the three-point line with the ball in one hand. Seeing that their own stars were about to dunk, the voices of UCLA fans became quieter, although they were extremely excited, they were unwilling to disturb Ye Feng's play. I saw Ye Feng raise his hand and throw the ball towards the rebound, and with a "bang", the ball smashed heavily on the rebound, and then rebounded back. At this time, Ye Feng suddenly moved, he rushed straight up to the ball that was bounced out of the rebound, jumped with both feet and grabbed the ball in his hands, this is not over, he turned 360 degrees in the air with his super ability to stay in the air, and then he simply dunked the ball into the basket.

By the time Ye Feng landed, the entire stadium seemed to have been detonated, the whistles and cheers almost toppled the roof, and every fan present was so excited that their faces were flushed. This self-throwing and self-dunking 360-degree rotating dunk is far more difficult than Mayo's dunk in terms of ornamentation and difficulty, and teammates even made a five-body throw on the sideline, expressing their worship of Ye Feng.

In the opposite half, the smiles on the faces of the USC players quickly froze, especially Jefferson, who encouraged Mayo to dunk, and his face was as ugly as eating Xiang. Mayo finally put away his lazy gaze and looked straight at the yellow-skinned player wearing the No. 24 jersey under the basket, and his heart was full of fighting spirit.

Ye Feng did not provoke very well, because in his opinion, this dunk is the best weapon, and he will see at the venue if there are any tricks. Soon the referees began to enter, and after checking the match ball, the whistle was blown for the official start of the game.

Despite a poor home game in Arizona, Loew has regained his form after a few days of rest, and this game still allowed him to jump against USC's Gibson. He was joined by Westbrook, Ye Feng, Bamot and Shipper, and opposite the first to fourth positions were Lewis, Mayo, Cunningham and Jefferson.

Although Gibson is a big man who can run and jump, Loew is very miraculously able to take the lead when jumping the ball, he preemptively preempts Gibson and dials the ball to Bamot, who in turn passes the ball to Westbrook, and UCLA's offense begins!

In Ye Feng's heart, he still wanted to continue to play double blocking, but strangely, Westbrook delivered the ball to him just after halftime. Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and looked at Westbrook who was about to go to the bottom corner leisurely. Seeing Ye Feng's blank eyes, Westbrook smiled very unkindly, he pointed in front of Ye Feng and raised his eyebrows obscenely.

Seeing Mayo standing in front of him engrossedly, Ye Feng couldn't guess Westbrook's plan anymore, and he didn't have to continue playing. Obviously, when he found out that USC was using man-to-man defense, Westbrook decided to give the ball to Ye Feng to play Mayo alone, believing that with Ye Feng's skills, he could at least give Mayo some color on the court.

Ye Feng lowered his center of gravity, firmly controlled the ball at his side, and tried to find a passing route. But as if they had discussed, they pulled to both sides, whether it was UCLA or USC, no one thought about helping their teammates, this is pure one-on-one, either you die, or I live!

Ye Feng carefully observed this new generation of stars of the same class as himself, intending to find the weaknesses of the other party. In his opinion, Mayo was physically strong, and slightly shorter than himself. Ye Feng's height is already a little reluctant to play a point guard, but Mayo did not play point guard, which probably means that his speed will not be too fast. But if you eat hard with speed, Mayo is likely to use physical confrontation to reduce speed.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng smiled slightly, and the frequency of dribbling suddenly accelerated, mixed with a dazzling change of direction in front of the body. Mayo didn't dare to be careless, Ye Feng's dunk during the warm-up had already made him vigilant, and his intuition told him that the Asian young man in front of him was a master. At this time, seeing Ye Feng's stormy dribbling, his whole body muscles tensed, and his attention was completely focused on Ye Feng's feet, as long as Ye Feng wanted to break through, his steps would reveal his true intentions.

Ye Feng didn't care, and took a small step forward with his left foot, and Mayo quickly shifted his center of gravity to the right side to prevent Ye Feng from taking the opportunity to break through. But this was just a tentative step, Ye Feng retracted his left foot and made a gesture to force a shot. Mayo was taken aback, he had already heard from his coach that UCLA's new starting point guard was very capable of three-point ability, and he was still able to maintain a fairly high shooting percentage even in the face of defense. didn't have time to think about it, he hurriedly stepped forward and tried to block Ye Feng's shot.

It's a pity that he didn't see the sneer on the corner of Ye Feng's mouth: This is still a feint! But for Ye Feng, he can switch freely between true and false, and if Mayo doesn't pounce, he will shoot directly outside the three-point line. Of course, Mayo responded, and this round would have been a different ending.

Without looking at Mayo more, Ye Feng turned around and passed the Mayo level, and then started to start. Only then did Mayo come back to his senses, he didn't have time to be annoyed, and turned around to try to keep up with Ye Feng's footsteps. But Ye Feng's previous judgment was very accurate, Mayo's speed was not a strong point, and Ye Feng, who started early, did not give him a chance to fight physically.

Gibson tried to defend back, but it was too late, and Ye Feng, who was holding the ball, appeared under the basket. And in order to prevent Mayo from interfering behind him or even making a chasing hat, Ye Feng chose a light backhand layup. Watching the ball thrown out of Ye Feng's hands without the slightest pyrotechnics, Mayo's face was already flushed, as a basketball star who became famous in high school, when had he ever suffered such a trick? Which game didn't lead the team to directly crush the opponent? But this time I kicked an iron plate!

"Huh!" The ball falls straight into the hollow of the basket.

Anyway, in the first round of the duel between the two, it was Ye Feng who won.
