born basketball king

Chapter 6 Don't Jump
"Ah?! I should watch it, the basketball team is full of handsome guys, hahaha" Zhang Zihan said.

"Give me the form, fill it out now!" There's nothing to hesitate.

The next day after filling out the form, I hurriedly pulled Wang Bo out to practice. The time was 1:[-] noon.

"Don't bother me to sleep! Don't you have no time to watch the push-up performance? Why do you suddenly have time to practice?" Wang Bo looked disgusted.

"I don't have time to watch you do 100 push-ups, but I have time for ball practice." I said cheekily, surprised at how brazen I was.

"..., is it good to practice ball?"

"Yes, you can drink whatever you want, I invite you! I invite you to drink as much as you want!" I said, patting my chest.

It's early autumn, and the weather will get colder and cooler in the future, so there are not many opportunities to practice outdoors.

"Let's practice mid-range shots first, you won't suffer from shooting." I thought for a while and said.

"You can practice mid-range shooting, or you can practice free throws first. You like to hit the basket and get fouled a lot. If you hit a high percentage of free throws, your impact is basically invincible." Wang Bo analyzed clearly.

"That's right, I missed a dozen free throws in the last match against the sports school!"

"Then let's practice free throws first, otherwise the opponent will use the 'cut Tianyu' tactic, and we will be in tragedy."

"What the hell? Can you kill people casually on the court?!" I expressed my shock.

"I usually watch the broadcast of professional basketball games when I have nothing to do. The slashing tactic refers to intentionally fouling opponents who are not good at free throws, and then gaining an offensive opportunity through the opponent's free throws." Wang Bo is like a high school math teacher who patiently lectures on the topic.

"Is that so, isn't this tactic a bit hooligan?" I asked wittily.

"It's a little bit, but as long as professional games comply with the rules, any tactic can be used. You should practice free throws first. Accurate free throws and ruthless breakthroughs, so that you have distinctive characteristics and can be unique!"

"How about a free throw?" I finally asked.

Wang Bo took the ball from my hand, stood behind the free throw line, adjusted the position of his feet, held the basketball tightly with both hands, looked up at the basket, stood still for about 2 seconds, suddenly raised the ball over his head, and shot!In the ball!Hollow into the net!

"Did you see it?" Wang Bo asked proudly.

"I didn't see it." I said calmly.

"...Remember a few things about free throws. First of all, free throws should not be jump shots! Because jump shots are very unstable. It is very important to adjust the position of your feet before making free throws. It is the key to maintaining stability in free throws! You should develop a habit in practice and keep your feet still when you take the ball." Wang Bo repeatedly adjusted the position of his feet while he was talking.

"Secondly, free throws pay attention to rhythm! Free throws must not be rushed, because no one is chasing the ball with you, and the game time is suspended, so the referee will not rush you. Grab the basketball with both hands and look at the basket with both eyes. It is best to pause for a second or two and take it calmly!"

"Shua~!" Wang Bo made another free throw and went into the net. I listened carefully to Teacher Wang's class and realized that I should bring a notebook. The so-called "take notes in class and don't worry about get out of class".Also, I should ask Teacher Wang to set a review point, so that I can focus before the exam.

At this time, I thought of the college entrance examination cram school.

"You see, rhythm is very important. Usually practice free throws to maintain a certain rhythm, such as 1 second to adjust your feet to hold the ball, 1 second to look at the basket, 1 second to shoot, etc. During the game, follow the usual rhythm, and generally you can make free throws steadily!"

"Is there anything else?" Student Li Tianyu raised his hand to ask Mr. Wang.

"Don't talk nonsense! Listen to me carefully! The third point is that free throws are mainly based on the softness of the wrist, not by the arms. The shooting action of free throws is somewhat similar to mid-range shooting and three-point shooting, but it is not exactly the same. Free throws are close-range shots, and you cannot jump! If you use the strength of your arms to push the ball, it is easy to cause too much force.

This time I didn't speak, and quietly waited for Teacher Wang to finish speaking.

"No more! That's all!" Teacher Wang said.

"Is it gone?! When you memorized political history in the college entrance examination, the main points were all over [-] points. You only talked about three points in this free throw. It's too unreliable. You don't have any unique skills that you deliberately hide?"

"..., hold the ball well and start practicing free throws! If you don't hit 500 free throws today, don't eat dinner!"

"I have another question."

"Say!"

"How do you know so much?"

Wang Bo completely ignored me, picked up the ball and stood on the free throw line, "Shua~!" Another hollow shot!He turned to me and said, "I just know!"

At 11:[-] that night, I finally had dinner at the gate of the school. Unexpectedly, I ate three servings of the same Mushu pork rice bowl at the same time, and the taste was still so good!

In the next few days, free throws, layups, dunks, and rebounds became the key items of my after-school practice. Compared with free throws, I still like to break through dunks, and the feeling of flying is even more refreshing!
Wang Bo positioned me as a "breakthrough small forward", and I positioned myself as the "God of Basketball".

The School of Economics mainly includes the Department of Economics, Department of Insurance, Department of Finance, Department of International Trade and other majors.Not long after Zhang Zihan asked me to fill out the form, I received a notice to participate in the training of the School of Economics team, which was scheduled at 8 am this Saturday.

The strange thing is that Wang Bo also filled out the form, but he didn't receive the training notice!I think maybe the academy team made a mistake in the form, or the person who sent the notification had a high fever of over 60 degrees at that time, and his head was so hot that it almost became an induction cooker. I don't think Wang Bo would be missed with a high fever of 40 degrees!
On Saturday morning, I got up at 7 o'clock to eat, and arrived at the college basketball hall on time at 7:50, ready to see what the big players in the junior and senior years looked like.

The college's basketball hall has just been renovated, and it looks brand new no matter from the outside or the inside of the arena.

I walked into the arena wearing the No. 3 jersey, and the temperature inside the arena was significantly warmer than outside.At 8 o'clock in the morning, more than 30 people have come to the arena, most of them are old-fashioned. It seems that they should be seniors in juniors and seniors, because they are chatting and laughing, and few of them are serious about shooting.

And the freshmen like me are easy to identify. They are all well-behaved and trembling. They only focus on shooting and dribbling, shooting and dribbling again. They are unsmiling and silent, as if waiting for the teacher who has already stood on the podium to start class.

I walked towards a hoop where more than a dozen people were practicing. I didn't speak, and everyone was talking to themselves, laughing or shooting. I silently blended into the crowd.

But here comes the problem, I'm not very good at shooting, I can't practice shooting like everyone else, so I stood behind the free throw line and practiced a few free throws. Suddenly, a ball bounced in front of me. I held the ball in both hands and looked up at the basket.
