stadium ambition

Chapter 68

After school on Friday, Su Yang and Zheng Xiang set off. They went from school to the airport, then flew from Los Angeles to New York, got off the plane and took a special car to the designated hotel. It took a total of ten hours to fall asleep. a little.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Su Yang got up and went to the hotel gym to start training on agility.

Just a few minutes after practicing, a black teenager walked in wearing a towel. He has a round head, thick lips, and two ears that look very big. He also happened to walk to the fitness ball equipment, and he seemed to be doing agility exercises. train.

Su Yang observed for a while, and asked a little tentatively: "Excuse me, are you Eric Gordon?"

Hearing the words, the black boy looked up at Su Yang, then nodded gently: "I am."

After speaking, Gordon started to warm up, completely treating Su Yang as air.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, Su Yang sniffed, resisting the urge to chat and chattering, feeling in his heart: "The real Brother Deng is really cold, no wonder he dribbles so ferociously when he dies, it really is a high degree of unity between his style of play and his personality .”

In about 8 minutes, Su Yang finished the fitness ball training, sat down to drink water and rest.

Gordon is also doing medicine ball training. The method is different from Su Yang. Specifically, the lateral movement is greater, and the strength of the shot is also greater. The advantages of wingspan and strength are fully reflected, and the agility is also first-class.

"With such brutal physical fitness, if it weren't for that injury, Gordon would have achieved higher achievements. Speaking of which, his teammate Rose in AAU also had the same experience. Both talented teenagers changed their playing styles due to injuries."

Su Yang felt it was a pity in his heart, while drinking water, he subconsciously shook his head slightly with emotion.

"Do you think there is something wrong with my movements?" Gordon suddenly asked Su Yang.

Hearing this, Su Yang knew that Gordon had misunderstood, and quickly waved his hand and said: "No, I am surprised that you have such excellent physical condition, and you will definitely achieve enviable results in the NBA in the future."

"My skills are also excellent! Although I haven't been praised by Kobe like you, my confidence is no worse than yours. If you don't believe me, let's find a place to have a one-on-one battle right now, how about it?"

So you know me?
I was even a little upset, no wonder the answer was so blunt before, could it be because of dissatisfaction?

Su Yang reacted, and said with a smile: "It's really unnecessary, I know your skills are also excellent, I have watched a lot of videos of your games, especially the game where you and Rose teamed up against Griffin. The cross step is extraordinary, the speed and rhythm, the timing of the jump and the shot can only be described as perfect, and it is the result of years of hard training."

"Oh?" Gordon looked curious, but immediately became serious again. "Do you know the result of that match?"

"Of course, you won 51 to 45." Su Yang watched that video at the beginning, and deliberately fast forwarded to the end to check the scores of the two teams. He didn't expect to have a chance to use it. "Ross was also whistled for several wrist flips, I remember correctly?"

Gordon nodded: "You can tell so many details to prove that you really watched the game video, and at the same time show that you are an honest person, at least you don't like to lie like they said, I think there is something that must be told you."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Su Yang quickly thought about all kinds of possibilities, and his intuition was something bad.

"Some of them discussed not passing the ball to you in tomorrow's game. Rose and I didn't participate in it, but we will play in a normal way. I hope you can understand." Ashamed and proud of making the right decision, he buried himself in training and treated Su Yang like air again.

Seeing this situation, Su Yang didn't say a word, but made an OK gesture to express his understanding.

To play according to the normal form, that is to give priority to passing to teammates with better opportunities. If Su Yang wants to catch the ball, he must run out of the best shooting position, but even then, Gordon may not be able to pass at that time. Afraid of misunderstanding.

Coming to the competition this time, Su Yang had imagined the possibility of not being able to receive the pass. After all, it was someone else's territory. If he, as an outsider, managed to grab all the limelight, it would really make many people feel uncomfortable.

It's okay to change to other occasions, but this occasion is more important than the previous ESPN national broadcast.

You must perform as you should, and you must not make people feel easy to manipulate and bully. What's more, on the promotional poster released by Nike, Su Yang's name is written with China behind it, which means to represent the country in the battle, and you must not admit it.

Even without Gordon's reminder, after the game starts, once he finds that he can't catch the ball, Su Yang will actively fight for rebounds. Unless there is a situation where Jr. Jordan forcibly steals Doncic's rebounds, he can get some points no matter what.

...

Ten minutes later, Su Yang finished his training, went back to his room to take a bath and changed clothes, went downstairs to have breakfast, and then came to the hotel lobby. According to Nike's arrangement, he was ready to take a car to the training site for group photos and other work.

Not long after sitting down, Su Yang saw Kyle Singler arriving, and immediately waved with a smile.

Singler nodded in response, but sat down far away, showing no signs of wanting to chat.

Mayo and others followed closely, and they were all far away from Su Yang, as if they were afraid of getting involved.

Only Harden stood next to Su Yang and talked loudly to Su Yang. The content was still recalling the time he participated in the Ron Harper training camp. He proactively mentioned that Su Yang knew many players in Southern California, emphasizing that Su Yang was particularly good at eating.

Knowing Harden's intentions, Su Yang patted Harden's shoulder gratefully, and almost didn't say that he would call me in the future.

At exactly nine o'clock, 24 players boarded the minibus and drove to the training ground in half an hour.

The first task is to get to know your teammates.

Su Yang is on the white team, and his eleven teammates are Derrick Rose, Cole Aldridge, James Anderson, Gerald Bayless, Michael Beasley, Eric Gordon, Blake Griffin, James Harden, Kevin Love, Lucas, and Kyle Singler can be said to be full of stars.

Looking at the red team, in addition to OJ Mayo, there are Nick Calathes, Jonny Flynn, Austin Freeman, Dante Green, JJ Hickson, Coster Koufos, Gani Laver Hall, Patrick Patterson, Nolan Smith, Corey Stokes, Chris White, the future star level is slightly insufficient, but right now they are particularly powerful players.

After their respective teams assembled, the coaches of the two teams made their grand debut. The white team was a middle-aged bald, short and fat man named Coleman, while the red team coach made Su Yang feel very familiar. s.

"Crap! It's a mistake!" Su Yang felt that it was a pity. If Stevens was the coach of the white team, he would not have to worry about not being able to catch the ball at all. Instead, he now has to deal with the upcoming troubles of the red team. tactics.

Just as he was thinking, Coach Coleman clapped his hands and called the white team to gather, and Su Yang and the others followed him into the arena.

"I'm very happy to be able to coach all the talented players. I hope we can have two days of pleasant memories. Now we need to solve the first problem, which is to decide everyone's position in the team. First, I will arrange the point guard..."

As Su Yang expected, he was not assigned to play point guard, but to serve as shooting guard. After all, there are Ross and Gerald Bayless in the team. The two have been famous in the United States for a long time. Coach Coleman is naturally more willing to believe.

"OK, next I will announce the starting five, which are Derrick Rose, Eric Gordon, Michael Beasley, Kevin Love, and Blake Griffin. Do you have any different ideas?"

As soon as the words fell, Harden immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Coach, I think your arrangement is unreasonable. How can there be a top high school student in the United States coming off the bench? I think Su Yang should start the game!"

Su Yang was a little confused, but before he had time to react, Coleman asked with a smile: "Then who do you think he should replace?"

Harden's eyes widened immediately, and he held back the words that came to his lips, as if he didn't know what to do.

"I'll be the substitute. Let's make the opponent cry together." Su Yang patted Harden on the shoulder, "We are invincible together!"
