Chapter 86: The Peak of the Decisive Battle (5)
Holland himself didn't expect that there would be such benefits after putting Enrique as a starter, when Loew completely gave up his shooting and turned into a response point + rebounding machine, the outside firepower of the Bruins went berserk, and often after two or three transmissions, they were able to find an open space, and the rest was to see how the players felt themselves. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Ye Feng and Enrique are two guns, not to mention, even Westbrook, who is not so good at long-range shooting, has improved his three-point shooting rate because of Ye Feng's advice. At this time, the Bruins set up three batteries on the outside, and the Jays players began to doubt their lives.
Rest was at a loss for what to do in his position, and several of the Jays' outside shooting ability was also good, but each of the opponents played like a 3D player like a drug, not only bombarding himself with three-point shots, but also being able to prevent the opponent from even making it difficult to shoot. Coupled with the existence of Loew's rebounding harvester, Self will not be able to think of any way to suppress the Bruins' offense for a while, and can only delay the opponent's hot hand by calling a timeout.
Chalmers doesn't think as much as the head coach, and his opinion is that if he can't play from the outside, he will burst in and hit the basket. The idea was good and clear, but unfortunately it didn't work because he couldn't get away from Westbrook's defense. Even if he summons his teammates to cover, Westbrook can still catch up with him with his super explosive power and perverted acceleration, and then completely seal the shooting space with a bounce that is higher than him. In desperation, the Jays collectively chose a mid-range jumper, and their shots under the basket and from the outside were greatly reduced, so that they could only be in a catch-up position in the score.
You must know that in modern basketball theory, the basket and three-point shot are the most cost-effective positions, and the shooting rate under the basket is relatively much higher than that of other positions, while the three-point shot is not high, but a three-point shot is equal to 1.5 two-point shots, as long as it is slightly higher than the normal level, it has a great bonus to the real shooting rate. On the other hand, the mid-range is the least cost-effective shooting option, because it doesn't have a high shooting percentage under the basket and no three-point bonus, which is why the entire league has shifted to a small-ball strategy that focuses on ball transmission and outside projection since 2010.
At halftime, several of the Jay's outside players looked unusually ugly, and there was no way, and any player couldn't feel much better when he saw his defense being beaten into a sieve. Rao was like this, they still gritted their teeth and silently listened to Self's adjustment for the second half, because no one wanted to lose this game. Against a strong Bruins, Self had no choice but to take a leap of course, writing and drawing with a tactical board, saying, "The opponent is very strong on the outside, and it's hard for us to defend against their three-pointers." I don't want to say much about this disparity in hard power, but I think that if we can force them to drop physically, then the three-point shooting percentage will plummet, and that's our chance. ”
"As for how to use their energy, I want everyone to run more on the pitch and lead the opposition defence whether they have the opportunity or not. In addition to that, continue to keep the offense from mid-range and under the basket, as defensive breakthroughs are far more physically demanding than defensive shots. I'm going to keep coming on as a substitute, and of course I'm going to leave a couple of starters to play with the benches, and all you have to do is try to drain the opponent's energy as much as possible in the first 10 minutes of the second half to make sure the score isn't pulled apart, and our decisive moment is in the last 10 minutes! ”
Safe's idea is the right way, and it's the best response he can take if he can't tighten the fence on the outside. At the start of the second half, the Bruins players felt the pressure as they pushed inside like death squads with dynamite packs, regardless of whether your defense was in place or not. Generally speaking, the defensive side is passive, and they need to spend more time judging the opponent's next move, not to mention that the likes of Chalmers, Rush and Arthur are not unknown, and several outside defenders quickly feel a little heavy in their calves, which is a sign of rapid physical drain.
Soon the Bruins' outside shots began to play hard, and Enrique and Westbrook both smashed three-pointers out of the box. While the Jays' fast break didn't work, everyone on the Bruins made a lot of switchbacks to defend the opposing switch, and Enrique, who had the worst physical strength, was already a little out of breath. Seef was keenly aware of this, and he did not hesitate to speed up the rotation, rotating several of his starters off the pitch for the break. Under his advice, the bench players were entangled with the opponent with the mentality of "I don't score, you don't want to score", which further drained the overall physical strength of the Bruins.
Seeing that the score was about to catch up, Safef was overjoyed and became more and more convinced that his decision was not wrong, but he missed someone. At this critical moment, Ye Feng decisively took over the team's offensive power, just like he did when he was on the high school varsity team. Of course, this is also what Holland has approved a long time ago, in his opinion, if there must be one person in the whole team who has unlimited firing rights, it can only be Ye Feng. As the team's top scorer this season, Ye Feng's behavior was not questioned by his teammates, but everyone was subconsciously creating opportunities for him.
This time he faced the Jays' backup striker Matt Kleiman, which was not a problem for Ye Feng at all, and the opponent's defense was far worse than Arthur's. But even so, Ye Feng didn't intend to waste his physical strength, he swept his eyes, and Loew, who had already pulled to the free throw line, came to the three-point line, and used his broad body to firmly block Kleiman behind. Ye Feng smiled slightly, jumped vertically directly one step away from the three-point line, his movements were smooth, and his hand shape was very stable, and he saw that Self's eyes widened on the sidelines. This three-point shot through the net was like a sharp arrow into his heart, and he suddenly had a feeling of "accidentally losing all the games", and this was only Ye Feng's first goal after completely taking over the team's offense.
"How is that possible? It's almost halfway through the second half, how can this guy still have such good fitness? Is he really Asian? Safeh sat in his seat and muttered to himself. It's not that he hasn't read Ye Feng's statistics, and he knows that he has to play an average of nearly 35 minutes per game, but in his opinion, as long as he puts more pressure on Ye Feng and makes him tired, he will naturally not be able to play for so long. However, Ye Feng still gave him a hard slap in the face when his teammates felt a little tired and affected the shooting rate, Ye Feng was still able to send the ball into the basket steadily as always.
In fact, Ye Feng has been improving his endurance in a planned way, and he is only slightly panting in the face of the strategic attrition of the Jay team. He has always believed that physical strength is the most important factor in sports competitions, and you can only contribute to the team by standing on the court, even if your ball skills are so good that even Jordan is willing to bow down, if your physical strength is not good, you can only play for ten minutes in a game, and there is no way to affect the outcome of the game.
Originally, the Jays were going to blow the horn of attack, but Ye Feng's three-point shot directly suppressed the momentum they were just about to get up, and every Jay player looked at this No. 13 like a ghost, and the belief that he had always insisted on began to collapse. Holland was worried about the player's condition at first, but Ye Feng's performance was like a reassuring pill for him, he is now sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, whispering to the assistant coach from time to time, and the expression on his face is called a pleasant, in stark contrast to Self's crying face as if his father and mother are dead.
Now Ye Feng enjoys not only the treatment of the top scorer, but also the treatment of the core of the team. Everyone will subconsciously look for him when they get the ball, and whenever the ball reaches him, the Jays players will look at him with desperate eyes, and in the end, they will simply defend and just make a appearance. Ye Feng's whole person is completely immersed in the continuous shooting and scoring, this kind of person has a title called "court black hole", but it generally refers to a fool who doesn't pass the ball and doesn't score, Ye Feng is a hero who doesn't pass the ball but can always send the ball to the basket.
Americans revere individual heroism, and this spirit is even more evident on the basketball court, where they may applaud the winner in the end, but they will shed tears for the lone hero, whether he makes it to the end or not. Ye Feng's crazy performance quickly conquered the fans present, and at first, just the fans from California began to shout "MVP!" in an organized manner. MVP! Soon neutral fans from other regions followed suit, and eventually even the fans from Kansas began to turn against each other and cheer for their opponents. There is no way, Ye Feng's performance in this game is phenomenal, and in part it is also thanks to the tactics developed by Jay head coach Seif to drag down the physical fitness of the Bruins.
No other voices can be heard in the entire arena, everyone shouts Ye Feng's name in awkward Chinese, in their eyes this yellow-skinned kid is the MVP of this game, even if the final NCAA Final Four MOP does not fall on Ye Feng's head, but he has conquered everyone with his ball skills. With five minutes left in the game, the Bruins were already leading by as many as 15 points at 80-65, and Self listened to the cheers of the fans, smiled bitterly, and replaced all of his team's starters at the dead ball. Holland didn't plan to kill them all, and when he saw that his opponent had conceded defeat, he also graciously substituted him.
And when Ye Feng walked off the field, all the fans spontaneously stood up and paid high tribute to the most shining players in this game. Ye Feng waved his fist excitedly, and his handsome face turned red: The NCAA championship is finally here!
