Chapter 22 The Champions Cup Begins

This matter passed quickly, time passed bit by bit in everyone's training, and finally, the Champions Cup took shape.

On this day, Coach Xiangfeng changed his usual calm image and stood at the door pacing back and forth, looking into the distance from time to time.

Finally, Ahui's figure appeared, and Coach Xiangfeng stopped pacing just now, standing where he was and waiting for Ahui's arrival.

"Coach, we got the lottery!" Ah Hui was a little out of breath, obviously he came back from running.

"How about it!" Under the calm voice of Coach Xiangfeng, there were still many expectations.

He is very satisfied with the players under him. With their strength, they can be regarded as a strong team in the Western District, but if a strong team in the Western District wants to enter the semi-finals and win a good name, they need a good team. Otherwise, if you meet an opponent like Citizen in the West District from the very beginning, even if you can win, it will take a lot of trouble. Whether the players will have the strength to play is still a matter, so Coach Xiangfeng also hopes to be assigned to some weak players. Team's.

"We are in Group A of the West Division, and a group with Mallock Middle School."

"Mallock!" Coach Xiangfeng murmured.

Marlock Middle School, a newly emerging school in recent years, has recruited a large number of sports talents, so their basketball quality is not weak, but most of these people are not professional, so there may be some differences in technology from them, and it can barely be counted. A strong team is a touchstone for Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School.Neither strong nor weak, it is very suitable for practice.

"It is said that this year Malloc has a talented defender, Jiangxi Lang." Ah Hu said as if something suddenly sounded.

"Jiangxi Lang!" Coach Xiangfeng nodded, but he didn't take it seriously. Basketball is a five-person sport. Now there is only one person, so it doesn't make him feel tricky. Moreover, Jiangxi Lang was rejected by him to join the team at the beginning. , so Coach Xiangfeng is not worried at all.

Coach Xiangfeng continued to look at Ahui, and Ahui immediately reacted.

"Group B is Experimental Middle School and Citizen, Group C is No. [-] Middle School and No. [-] Middle School, and Group D is Lanxiang and New Oriental."

"There is no surprise that Citizen will qualify in Group B. Group C should also qualify from the top three. In Group D, Lanxiang and New Oriental are similar in strength, and they are both inside teams. It is hard to say who will appear, but as long as the team appears, they will definitely play against them. , this will definitely suffer!"

Coach Xiangfeng was thinking in his heart.

"Inside, inside!"

Coach Xiangfeng glanced at the sky, and Zhang Yu's name popped up unconsciously in his heart, but then he shook his head and shook off the name.

"OK OK."

Coach Xiangfeng applauded and asked everyone to assemble. The players assembled quickly and stood in a line, all looking up at Coach Xiangfeng.

"After 7 days, the Champions Cup will be played. Listen to me, you must go all out for every game, do a good job in every training, and hit every opponent."

"Everyone knows that I am not good at words, but I have to reiterate one thing. Last year, we fell at the gate of the final and were ridiculed by countless people. I believe everyone remembers it!" Xiangfeng coach swept everyone except Li Yifan , especially staying on Ahu and Ahui for a while, I saw the two clenched their fists and their bodies trembled.

"This year, I don't want my disciples to be ridiculed again. Please use your strength to prove to them that you are champions and worthy of this championship."

Coach Xiangfeng's eyes were faintly majestic, and the originally cloudy eyes, at this moment, shone with a little light.

Off the court, after last year's game, all the players were a little excited, especially Ahui and Ahu, who couldn't wait to prove themselves.

"Okay, everyone spread out to train and prepare for the Champions Cup. Tong Haifeng, Li Yifan, you two come here." Coach Xiangfeng saw that it was almost done, and waved for Ah Hui to take the rest of the team to train, while he ordered the two to come over .

"I can improve a little bit! Then there will be a surprise for those old guys!" Thinking of Li Yifan, Coach Xiangfeng couldn't help laughing out loud. Such a genius is rare!
As for Tong Haifeng, he used to be the team's small forward. Because of the team's problems later on, and because he was relatively tall and still growing, Tong Haifeng was temporarily assigned to the center forward position by him. Technically, he definitely didn't have those The orthodox center is so pure.But Xiangfeng still hopes that he can learn more inside skills in a short time, so that he won't be blown away by Yu Zhunan alone like last time.At least have some strength to fight back.

"Sea breeze! There are still a few days left, this is a challenge for you!"

"I know! Coach, please tell me!" Tong Haifeng said firmly, his eyes were firm.

Coach Xiangfeng nodded secretly.

"The time is short, and I can't teach you anything. I can only give you some tips on defense. In the interior, positioning is very important. This means whether you have opportunities to attack and rebound, such as this Li Yifan, you shoot."

Coach Xiangfeng blocked Tong Haifeng, widened his footsteps, pinched Tong Haifeng's life goal with both hands behind his back, and prevented him from moving freely. When the rebound fell, Coach Xiangfeng took the ball without any effort.

"how do you feel!"

"It's amazing!" Tong Haifeng was surprised. He could clearly feel that Coach Xiangfeng didn't use any strength just now, but he was able to catch the ball easily, and he couldn't take off.

"This is the charm of the card position. As long as you stand in a good position, you can grab the ball and even make an offensive pass. And with your current strength, you should be the fastest moving center in the entire Jiangcheng front line, so You are well placed to take a vantage point."

"Then what should I do?" Tong Haifeng asked.

"First of all, you have to see clearly the defender, the position of the ball, determine the ball's landing point one step in advance, and occupy the position. Among them, anticipation is the most critical. You must learn this first before you can make the next move. Later I will ask Li Yifan to come over and cooperate with you, and you will practice playing the board and grabbing the ball here first."

"En!" Tong Haifeng nodded.

He picked up the ball and started training. At first he grabbed the ball very twistedly, the ball went to the right but the person was on the left. It was completely opposite. Later, he practiced slowly, and then he got better.

Coach Xiangfeng nodded, glanced at Li Yifan who was squatting on the ground, called him, and took him to the other half.

"Li Yifan, you've made great progress these days!"

"Coach, teach me directly! Don't talk nonsense." Li Yifan interrupted Coach Xiangfeng.

"So anxious!" Coach Xiangfeng didn't realize it was a little funny. "Wait until I finish talking."

"Oh!" Li Yifan nodded.

"I have to say, Li Yifan, you are very talented in basketball, and you have trained to the point of being a starter in a short period of time, which is rare in a hundred years. But have you noticed that you have nothing but shooting?"

Li Yifan nodded, saying yes.

"How's the ball-handling technique now!" Coach Xiangfeng asked forcefully.

"No!" Li Yifan smiled wryly. Controlling the ball doesn't happen overnight. It's impossible for him to be like Ah Hu when he first started.

"Then you are still so aggressive and let me teach you other things." Coach Xiangfeng asked back, and Li Yifan stuck out his tongue quickly.

"Don't bother with you so much, just report your current height to me, and other data!" Coach Xiangfeng took out his notebook.

"Height of 185, wingspan of 190, jumping height has risen to 60CM"

"It's okay!" Coach Xiangfeng closed his notebook and said after listening. "The road has to be taken step by step, and the meal has to be eaten bite by bite. Don't worry."

"This is your game video, you can take it back and watch it later to see if there are any defects in your shooting." Coach Xiangfeng took out a videotape from nowhere.

Li Yifan took Coach Xiangfeng's videotape and flipped through it curiously. It's really strange that someone would use this kind of thing to videotape in this day and age.

"Coach, why do you still use this thing to record! Can't your phone work?"

"I'm used to it, you kid is always distracted from the topic. You take this video back and analyze your weaknesses and strengths. I hope you can bring out your strengths and hide your weaknesses. Do you hear me?"

"I heard that, coach, it's gone." After being reprimanded, Li Yifan felt a little depressed.

"No more!" Coach Xiangfeng waved his hand.

"Aren't you going to teach me other techniques?" Li Yifan couldn't laugh or cry, feeling that he was scolded for being called here.

"Teach! You first control the ball according to my previous method, and then see if Tong Haifeng is there. When he practiced to the point where he can catch the basketball back from the rebound, you can go over and train with him. You lose the ball, he beats the ball, 100 per person!" Coach Xiangfeng pointed in the direction of Tong Haifeng, and Li Yifan had to walk over to observe Tong Haifeng while practicing.

"Damn coach, isn't this playing me again!" Li Yifan felt a little sullen in his heart and couldn't let it out, so he could only slap the ball on the ground heavily, dribbling back and forth, cross dribbling.

Coach Xiangfeng watched Li Yifan's movements from a distance, just smiled and didn't speak.

There is a reason why he asked Li Yifan to train with Tong Haifeng. On the one hand, Tong Haifeng used to be a small forward and knew a lot about the outside line. It is undoubtedly good for him to let Li Yifan follow him at this stage, and it is not good. It will affect the training of Ahui and Ahu.Second, based on Li Yifan's current physical data, Coach Xiangfeng plans to train Li Yifan into an all-round small forward, especially in terms of rebounding. He very much hopes that Li Yifan can take on the important role of the team's inside line.So letting Tong Haifeng train now is to let them get acquainted in advance so that they won't be in a hurry during the game.

"It's up to you two."

After Coach Xiangfeng finished speaking, he turned his attention to Ahui and Ahu.
