born basketball king

Chapter 57
"I also brought water!" Zhao Mengqi took out another long green thermos from her bag, poured out water and started to drink, "Well, I like to drink hot water, cold water is not good in winter."

"Okay, then let's go back, are you going to take a shower?"

"Go, of course I'm going to sweat all over." Zhao Mengqi said

"Let's go then, the bathhouse seems to close at nine o'clock, hurry up and go!"

"Then I'll go back to the dormitory to get my clothes."

"I'll take you back!"

Under the dim light, we walked along the school path to Zhao Mengqi's dormitory building.There were not many students on the road, so we chatted while walking.

"The next stage of the basketball round-robin game seems to be played after the end of the year, so are you still training?" Zhao Mengqi asked about the basketball game.

"Training, the main thing is to maintain the state, and our captain found a temporary job for me."

"Temporary worker?! What do you do?" Zhao Mengqi's eyes widened curiously.

"Hahaha, actually, I'm going to participate in a three-on-three basketball match in Jiangzhou City. The prize money for the champion is 30 yuan, and there is also a chance to recommend endorsement brands!"

"Wow, so much money, more than our school basketball game."

"That's right, so if I want to participate, it can be regarded as a temporary job."

"It's amazing! Not only can you exercise to strengthen your body, but you can also make money. It's amazing!"

When the goddess praised me, I immediately felt a little flustered. I couldn’t be both flattered and calm, and instantly felt that my image and internal and external temperament had improved hundreds of levels: "Hey, do you think I can make a living by playing basketball in the future?"

"You seem to have asked this question before, of course you can! As long as you earn income through proper channels, I think you can do anything as a career. Besides, sports stars are making a lot of money now. You can see that you can get 30 bonuses for participating in a competition. It's amazing! Only champions have to work hard."

"That's right, 30 yuan is not bad. Earn the money first, and take one step at a time! Thank you for your encouragement."

Seeing Zhao Mengqi's dormitory, we waved goodbye to each other.

"Thank you for running with me, I wish you a smooth basketball game next week!" Zhao Mengqi said standing beside me with her head up.

"When we are free, we insist on running every week. Only long-term running can lose weight."

"Okay, goodbye then." After speaking, Zhao Mengqi turned and entered the dormitory building.I stood outside and looked at the back of her going in. I felt like I had seen the scene somewhere before, anyway, I had an impression.

Now that I have already talked about the three-on-three basketball game with Zhao Mengqi and the reward of 30 yuan, I can't be perfunctory, and I can't even get a third place!So on the second day after running, I threw myself into Wang Bo's arms, into the arms of Wang Bo's training.

"President Dabo, how many pitches did you throw today?"

"You seem to be full of energy and refreshed today, at least invest 1500! Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep at night!"

"1500 is too little, I want to shoot 4500 balls and become the king of CIC!"

"Don't try to eat a fat man in one bite. Even if you throw 4500 balls now, you have to throw them until noon tomorrow. Be less exaggerated. 1500 is 1500. If you take every shot seriously, you can improve!"

"Okay, then I'll treat this 1500 as 4500, take every ball seriously, and make serious shots!" I stared at the basket resolutely.

Forcible breakthroughs and physical confrontation have always been my strengths, but since I tasted the sweetness of mid-range shooting against the Academy of Engineering in the last game, I began to practice open mid-range shots, pull-up shots, and emergency stop jump shots at mid-to-long distances.

Wang Bo constantly corrected my shooting posture, including the timing of the jump, the arc of the shot, the strength of the wrist, and the position of the elbow rest, etc.

"It's best to lift your legs vertically when you take off. You can take off with your feet together like Jordan and Durant, so that you can jump higher and take off more suddenly; you can also shoot mid-range and long-range shots like Klay Thompson and Alan Houston. Spread your legs a little distance to take off, so that the chassis is more stable and the lower body is not easy to shake, but the suddenness and jumping height are not good."

"I still put my feet together to take off, and I feel that I can jump higher, and no one can block the shot in the air after I jump."

"Yes, when shooting, the right arm can be pushed forward violently and stretched out as far as possible, while the left arm should be spread out to form a triangle shape with the right hand. The left hand holds the ball steadily and is mainly responsible for holding the ball; the palm of the right hand is perpendicular to the bottom of the ball, mainly for adjusting direction and aiming."

While listening to Wang Bo's talk, I made my own movements and adjusted my shooting posture to standardize.

"Shooting power mainly depends on the wrist to adjust the arc, and the arm is pushed out to control the power. You have big hands, sufficient strength, and the inertia of bouncing, so you can shoot calmly. After the wrist is released, there must be an arc, that is, the fingers must be vertical after the shot, and the fingers must hang down to the floor after shooting, forming a wrist-rolling motion." Wang Bo said while making a standard shooting posture.

"Why must there be an arc? I jump so high, can I push it flat?" I asked Wang Bo suspiciously.

"This is the science of shooting, and it is also an attempt at geometry! When you look at a round basket, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is not the largest goal area. The largest goal is viewed from the top of the basket vertically! Therefore, no matter how high you jump, you must shoot with an arc, otherwise it will not be the largest goal area, and the hit rate will definitely not be high." Wang Bo taught me three-dimensional geometry in detail.

I seriously imagined the scene of looking at the basket from above in my mind, and I feel that it is really viewed from directly above, and the area of ​​the basket is the largest!
"Indeed, the area is the largest when viewed from the top, no wonder the shooting has to be curved! The shooting movements you teach are very standard, but I have seen some professional leagues before, such as Curry, Marion, Tracy McGrady, and even Jordan. Their shooting postures are different, especially Curry. The shooting speed is super fast. It seems that the shooting posture has not been set up, and the ball has already been pushed out. What is going on?"

"This is the difference between a superstar and an ordinary person. What I am teaching you now is the standard shooting posture. This is the foundation. It is equivalent to learning to recognize characters first when you write an article. Everyone knows the same characters, but different people use the same characters to form different articles."

"Speaking of Curry, he also went through hard standard shooting training before. Later, he became more familiar with his shots and shot faster, and gradually formed his own shooting method of pushing forward and quickly, using all his arm strength to push the ball into the air. Now you are still in the illiterate stage. You don't even know a word, you don't even know the most basic standard shooting, and you can't form your own shooting style at all." Wang Bo continued to fool me.
