whirlwind basketball

Chapter 8
Half of the time passed quickly, and the seven days came to four days in the blink of an eye. During these four days, Li Yifan made rapid progress.

His shooting skills have risen to the free throw line, and his running positions have become more proficient. As for the ball-handling skills, he can barely take the ball, but it is still difficult for him to go head-to-head.But Ah Hui is not in a hurry, Li Yifan's rough jade will shine at this moment sooner or later.

Because today is Sunday, the team does not have a holiday, and everyone is training in the stadium.Li Yifan is practicing shooting as usual. After so long of video research, Li Yifan knows the importance of a player with accurate shooting in the team, so he wants to shoot all positions on the basketball court.

"45, come on! We're only five minutes away from the three-point line."

Li Yifan secretly puffed up in his heart.

Just when he was about to throw the next ball, everyone suddenly called out Coach Xiangfeng, which frightened the basketball in Li Yifan's hands and threw him crookedly.

"Fuck!"

Li Yifan turned around and wanted to scold his mother.A chubby old man walked up to him, with a white half-cut Liu Hai on his head, a pair of round-rimmed glasses, and his hands behind his back, looking like an old pedant.

"Who is this!"

Li Yifan was too fascinated just now, he didn't hear his companion's shout, so he had some doubts in his heart.

"Li Yifan, come here quickly."

Ah Hui saw Li Yifan standing there motionless, looked at Coach Xiangfeng, and quickly beckoned Li Yifan to come over.

"Oh!"

Li Yifan hurried up, and Ah Hui quickly grabbed Li Yifan and said.

"Coach, this is our new guy with pitching potential."

"Oh!" Coach Xiangfeng glanced at Li Yifan through his glasses.

Li Yifan raised his head.

"Very good, very good!" Coach Xiangfeng grinned and nodded while smiling.

Then, he didn't say anything, just walked towards the rest area with his hands behind his back, sitting there with his legs crossed, quietly watching the situation on the field.

"Brat, you don't know how to say hello!" A Hui waved his big hand away.

"He's our coach? Why haven't I met him before?" Li Yifan tactfully avoided Ah Hui's hand.

"He's not feeling well. He went to the hospital for reexamination these days. Let's not talk about this, hurry up and practice your skills. I guess Coach Xiangfeng will test you later." Ah Hui hurried to his field Go, remind Li Yifan while walking.

Seeing Ahui's eagerness, Li Yifan had to let go of the doubts in his heart, trot all the way, and ran back to his field to practice shooting.Of course, he won't practice so honestly, and from time to time, he will pull his teammates next to him to ask about Coach Xiangfeng.

Soon, Li Yifan knew the origin of Coach Xiangfeng.

Coach Xiangfeng was originally a basketball player, and he was also famous in the national team, but he didn't know why he couldn't play in the end.After he retired, he changed his career to become a coach, and his subordinates were notoriously ruthless, so he also produced a lot of talents.But because of an accident, he resigned and returned to his hometown to teach basketball in Jiangcheng.But when he came back this time, he changed from his violent temper in the past and became extremely kind, which made those who had heard of his reputation very frightened, such as Ah Hui.So everyone still dare not get too close to him.

"Such a kind person, it doesn't look scary! Besides, it was a thing of the past, so don't pursue so much!"

In Li Yifan's heart, he felt a little pity for Coach Xiangfeng, the notoriety he left behind made him unable to get close to others now.

"It's different, even if he changes his temper now, it's different. A coach is always a coach, and you must always maintain a respectful attitude, just like you treat your teacher." Ah Hu preached.

"Uh, say it like it's true."

Li Yifan doesn't take it seriously, although he is good at studying, but he doesn't have much respect for the teacher, because his current grades are completely self-taught and have nothing to do with the teacher, so this is also the reason why his grades have not been improved. up.

The two didn't continue their chat, and Li Yifan quickly entered the shooting mode, shooting without distraction.

"One, two, three,"

"Damn, it broke again."

Li Yifan scolded.

After finally upgrading to the three-point line, I wanted to throw the ball in all at once.But who would have thought that the plan deviated from the reality.Every time he makes three three-pointers, one of them must be missed, and sometimes there are even two or three. All in all, his three-pointer hit rate is only 3%.

The more this happened, the more anxious Li Yifan became, and the speed of his hands continued to accelerate, and even his movements began to deform.Naturally, basketball won't go in either.

"Oh Huo Huo." I don't know when Coach Xiangfeng came here, and when he saw Li Yifan's embarrassment, he made such a voice.

"Fatty, what are you laughing at!"

Li Yifan blurted out, and when he realized it, the words had already been accepted by Coach Xiangfeng.

Li Yifan looked nervously at Coach Xiangfeng's expression, for fear that he would get angry. The other players on the field also looked at him nervously, especially Ahui who brought Li Yifan in.

"Damn it!" Ah Hui's eyes were ready to eat people.

"Little guy, your shooting posture just now was wrong, how could you score a goal."

Coach Xiangfeng was very magnanimous, as if what happened just now hadn't happened, he took the basketball from Li Yifan, made a very standard movement, and threw the basketball.

"Worthy of being a big player in the past, the arc of the shot is so perfect." Looking at coach Xiangfeng's basketball in the air, Li Yifan knew without looking that the ball would definitely go in.

"Also, your current movement is not suitable for you, it is too straight, and it is easy to be blocked by defenders." Coach Xiangfeng commented.

"Then what to do!"

Li Yifan also felt that his shooting movement was not very good, he could make shots regardless of him, but his shot point was very low, and it was extremely easy to be interfered by others.

Therefore, as soon as Coach Xiangfeng said that he had a problem, he immediately asked.

"Hehe. Hehe, you must first understand why your shot point is low. Because of your height constraints, the shot point must be lower than those who are taller than you. It's okay at close range, you can use other methods to shoot, But at a long distance, like a three-point shot, you need to aim, which will cause the opponent to detect your shot time in advance, and your basketball will be easily intercepted."

"And the only way to solve your problem with long-distance shooting is to use long-distance shooting."

"The first part: the right foot is slightly in front, slightly sideways, try to exert force with the lower body, reduce the waist, keep the body upright, and spread the shoulders; the second part: the left hand affects the shooting stability, the left hand should leave the ball at the moment of the shot or before the shot ;The third part: the keyword "push shot", the spring shot, the position of force is on the upper arm, at the level of the elbow and the shoulder, the forearm should not be retracted too much, the ball is in front of the head, it can be slightly to the right, and the side of the arm is controlled put."

Just like this, Coach Xiangfeng took a step back, lifted the ball above his head, and at the same time exerted strength from his waist, opened his arms and threw the ball. The back and forth movements were so fast that Li Yifan didn't even react.

"And your mid-range shooting is enough for your height, you don't need to use push shots, but before, I suggested that you practice fadeaway shots, so that it will be more difficult for the opponent to deal with you."

Coach Xiangfeng answered sternly, and Li Yifan had a sudden realization.

"Bravo!"

Li Yifan admired in his heart.

Then, Coach Xiangfeng taught Li Yifan about his weaknesses in other sports. Coupled with his talent, Li Yifan soon digested the knowledge points that Ahui explained that day.

"There are three more days, and I will definitely be able to play."

Looking back at the basketball court, Li Yifan clenched his fists tightly.
