Chapter 91 Dribbling Exercises
At 59:[-] in the morning, it was already late at night, and the streets of Philadelphia were deserted. Even the street cleaners had returned home from work.

There was only one figure on the Waltz Street. This man seemed to be more than two meters tall. His muscles were not large, but they were very strong and compact. His handsome face was full of confidence and unrestrained.

He is Channing.

Getting up at 59:76 in the morning to run and exercise is Channing’s habit. Since signing a rookie contract with the Philadelphia [-]ers, Channing has gotten up early every day, walking west along the long Waltz Avenue, passing through the old city, and running The city center reaches the westernmost suburb of Philadelphia, which is the legendary urban-rural junction, or the American version of the urban village.

This journey will take about 20 kilometers. Before 05:30, Channing will reach the village in the city on time. He does not run fast, because speed is not his pursuit. After all, Channing is not a track and field athlete, but Channing is on the way He will constantly change the speed, simulate short sprints on the basketball court, sprint repeatedly and other actions, which are more beneficial for him to play basketball.

Qian Ning was still holding a basketball in his hand. Ever since he got the Guo Ailun Samsung ball control bag, Qian Ning added dribbling and running exercises to his morning exercises every day. However, during the journey westward, he did not I don't know how to shoot the ball, because it is too early at this time, and it is easy to disturb the sleep of the masses.

"Good morning, Mr. Stonewhite. The old rules."

Channing arrived at his destination, Mr. Shi White's breakfast shop under the big Chinese locust tree at the west end of Corolla Village in the easternmost part of Philadelphia. According to the old rules, Mr. Shi White handed over the prepared breakfast to Channing, and then greeted each other with a smile. Hello.

There is no extra words, the two of them have reached a tacit understanding, Channing hastily put away the breakfast, and then set off for the return journey, the difference is that it was already dawn when the return journey, and Channing was free to practice dribbling and running.

Walking through the farmer’s market in Corolla Village, before [-]:[-] am is the busiest time for the farmer’s market. Those old Americans who can’t sleep are the same as the Chinese old people. They are used to getting up early every day to go to the farmer’s market to buy vegetables. With the vegetable baskets, the farmer's market suddenly became lively and bustling, with the sound of bargaining everywhere, and from time to time, rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, etc. were thrown into the middle of the road.

Even in such a harsh environment, Qian Ning still keeps advancing at a constant speed. Ever since Guo Ailun's ball-handling bag fusion reached 60%, his dribbling has been handy enough. Suddenly a pet dog that broke free from its owner rushed out in front of him. It doesn't matter. As soon as Qian Ning stretched out his hand, "Come back", the basketball changed its trajectory accordingly, just passing through the big yellow dog's crotch, and returned to Qian Ning's hands.

The big yellow dog's crotch was cold, it shrank its eggs instantly, and let out a bubble of urine.

"Hehe, it's just a dog, and you want to grab my ball!"

Qian Ning smiled slightly, and continued to pat the ball forward. The big yellow dog seemed to feel that he was being played with in the crotch, and barked at Qian Ning who was going away.

Banana peels and rotten vegetable leaves all over the street, crowds pushing and shoving back and forth, and unexpected situations that may break out at any time, Qian Ning dribbled the ball like a martial arts master and walked like flying, passing a leaf among thousands of flowers without touching himself, and passed the farmer's trade in an instant. Market, run up the avenue leading to the city.

"This young man is much better at dribbling than yesterday. I don't know what medicine to take."

Mr. Shi White recalled the scene a few days ago. At that time, Channing just started to add dribbling to his morning jog. His poor ball-handling skills made the farmer's market go crazy, not because he smashed Zhang San's vegetable stall, It was the grandson of Wang Wu's family who was knocked down, so that Mr. Shi Huaite couldn't help but burst out laughing.

At that time, Mr. Shi White always believed that the young man Chan Ning had gone on the wrong path. With his talent for controlling movement, he should not play basketball at all, and he would never be able to practice dribbling in his life. Ning is reborn.

"It's incredible, isn't this talent?"

Mr. Shi White is in the suburbs, and he doesn't know Channing's name, otherwise he would be shocked.

……

The Philadelphia 76ers training facility, the second day of the fierce battle with the Cavaliers, the daily team training has ended, the players practice freely in twos and threes, everyone knows their strengths and weaknesses, and strive to take advantage of this free practice Time to improve yourself.

On the second floor, head coach Cheeks and head assistant coach Saunders were whispering.

"God, our schedule is too horrible. We lost to the Spurs at the start, won the Raptors, lost to Cleveland, and then we have to face the Hornets, Mavericks, Pacers, Suns, and want to win. It’s really not easy for a game.”

"Don't be discouraged, Sanders, to see our progress this year." Cheeks always has an optimistic smile:

"Although we have a poor record, there are also unexpected gains."

Cheeks turned to Channing on the first floor and patted Sanders on the shoulder:

"Brother, I asked you to design defensive tactics for Channing, how is it?"

Sanders was quite troubled. This was the first time he had coached a talented player like Channing. He was so tall but as agile as a defender. Sanders really didn't know where to put Channing. So that this diamond can emit the most dazzling light.

After all, no one wants to bury the talent of a good seedling.

"Boss, why not let Channing and Iguodala form a double striker line, Channing will replace Iguodala as the team's first defensive spearhead, give him sufficient defensive freedom, let us take a good look His defensive prowess; that has another benefit, how about freeing Iguodala and letting him fully display his offensive talents?"

Sanders gave his advice, let Channing take on Iguodala's defensive burden, become a thick shield for the 76ers from 2 to 4, and liberate Iguodala to improve the team's defense. offensive level.This also solves the problem of the coexistence of the two strikers on the court at the same time, one attack and one defense, without interfering with each other.

But Cheeks shook his head slowly, as if to disagree.

"Don't worry, boss, although Channing is still very young, we believe in his strength and talent. After being polished in actual combat, Channing's defense will not be much worse than Iguodala's. Besides, you also said that talent , are all played on the court, the sooner Chen Ning is allowed to take responsibility, the better for his growth."

Sanders quickly explained that he knew that Channing was only a rookie, and he had only joined the team for less than two months. At this time, he was really anxious to put the team's top defensive player on him. As a defensive leader, he has to face Kobe, Anthony, Pierce and other top killers every night. If he doesn't do it well, he may blow through Channing's self-confidence all at once.
