Junior Basketball says

Chapter 45

Without coaching, Xu Hao's shooting improved slowly, but it meant a lot to him.Once upon a time, his position was a catch-and-shoot shooter. Even if he attacked with the ball, he would often choose to break through for a layup or a small throw that was not very proficient.But now he has improved his ability to shoot with the ball to a certain extent, and the ultimate goal is to aim at the "**", and he is waiting for when he will find an opportunity to show his teammates during the game.

Time passed day by day, and everyone who participated in the training camp made some progress, but in the end, only 15 people were able to go to the United States to compete with top high school players, and the power of life and death was in the hands of Gong Xiaoyang.

Seeing that the one-month training camp is about to end, Gong Xiaoyang receives many calls every night.The people on the other end of the phone are some of the club's top management, some are the leaders of the sports bureau, and some are close friends with him, but everyone has the same meaning in their words, that is, they hope that Gong Xiaoyang will be able to do so in the final assessment. Take care of a certain player when you are playing.

Gong Xiaoyang is very helpless about this situation, but he has nothing to do. This is China's national conditions.As a very principled person, the only thing he can do is to tell everyone who calls that he will select players based on the performance of the players in the entire training camp and the second match. list, I can only blame myself for not being good at learning.

Of course, what he said was quite tactful. Everyone is in the same circle, so there is no need to make a strong enemy for yourself for no reason.And the person on the other end of the phone could also hear his deep meaning, and hung up the phone after casually making a haha.

The second match was scheduled for the afternoon of the last day. Gong Xiaoyang had already told everyone in advance that after the training camp was over, he would treat everyone to a buffet at his own expense, so the match was not scheduled for the evening like before.But this time the game also only lasts 48 minutes, how much playing time you can get depends entirely on whether you have the ability to impress the head coach.

Gong Xiaoyang was very lazy and continued to adopt the same starting lineup as in the first match, which also disappointed all the students who wanted to fight for a starting position.Xu Hao was very calm. He no longer cared whether he could get enough time in this game. For him, the growth in the past month was the most valuable asset.

What if I don’t make the list to go to the United States for exchange?Xu Hao believes that with his IQ, he can be admitted to one of the top universities in the country. As we all know, the basketball level of famous universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Zhejiang University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, etc. is also among the top. Wouldn’t it be great to join the school team and compete in CUBA?

And when you are in college, you still have the opportunity to apply to American universities for exchanges. Wouldn’t you also be able to experience the basketball culture of American universities at that time?Besides, no one stipulates that if you want to play in the NBA, you must play in the NCAA first, right?
However, Xu Hao didn't wait too long for this game. Just halfway through the first quarter, Gong Xiaoyang replaced him in the first substitution, but the instruction to him was not to play point guard, but to return him His old job - shooting guard.

Xu Hao did not refuse. With his current skills, he is basically more than enough for the first to third positions. The reason for not playing the fourth and fifth positions is largely due to his lack of height. He thinks he has a good sense of rebounding. This is crucial for insiders.Since Gong Xiaoyang asked him to play a good shooting guard, then play according to his usual style!
With Shen Yanqiu in control of the ball, Xu Hao naturally didn't need to go up and meddle. He just kept running according to Shen Yanqiu's gestures, waiting for opportunities to catch the ball and finish.Since the start of the training camp, Xu Hao has been regarded as a dispensable bit player in the eyes of many people, even though he helped the red team secure the final victory in the third quarter of the first match.In fact, only the three people who share the same dormitory with him and Gong Xiaoyang and his coaching team can deeply feel his progress. Oh, by the way, there is also Xue Xiaofeng.

This caused the blue team to not be very strict with Xu Hao, and their attention was basically on Shen Yanqiu, Xue Xiaofeng and Sun Lianlian.Although the assistant coach of the temporary blue team coach shouted loudly on the sidelines to let them care about Xu Hao, the arrogance and contempt in their hearts still made them ignore the existence of this person, and then they were tragic...

With teammates on the sidelines, Xu Hao scored 3 consecutive three-pointers in 4 minutes, helping the red team open the score in one fell swoop.When the blue team finally began to pay attention to Xu Hao, the rest of the red team became active again, making them miserable.

Unexpectedly, after the start of the second quarter, Gong Xiaoyang still did not replace Xu Hao, but asked him to play point guard, and repeatedly emphasized that he should pay attention to personal scoring while organizing the offense.Seeing Gong Xiaoyang's meaningful eyes, Xu Hao smiled helplessly. Presumably, Director Gong had already understood the content of his extra training in the afternoon, and now he just had a chance to see the results.

With the coach's instructions, the other four people had to open up space for Xu Hao on the court, no matter how unwilling they were, so that he could have a one-on-one duel with the opponent's defender.At first, Xu Hao's shots were blocked due to the opponent's physical confrontation, but then he quickly found his touch. In fact, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was just alone when he practiced, and defensive players relied on their imagination. Even the system can hardly simulate a real confrontation.

Only in the official arena can you feel the pressure from the opponent. Whether it is the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor or the scorching breath coming out of the noses and mouths of both sides, it is completely unimaginable in your mind.

In the second quarter, Xu Hao made 6 of 3 shots from beyond the three-point line, and almost all of them forced his shots against the opponent's defense. The ability to have such a hit rate in the confrontation game proves that he has indeed worked hard in this regard. Gong Xiaoyang on the sidelines looked at it and nodded secretly.He found that Xu Hao knew where his flaws were and would make up for them quickly, which is something that many professional players cannot do.

Of course, with the detailed scoring system, as long as you are not blind, you must know where your weaknesses are...

Under Gong Xiaoyang's deliberate control, Xu Hao played 28 minutes in this game, almost the most in the entire red team. Under such circumstances, everyone knew that Xu Hao's inclusion in the final roster was a certainty.Sure enough, after the game, Gong Xiaoyang directly announced the 15-person roster, and Xu Hao was the first student whose name he read out.

However, such a result also troubled Xu Hao, how should he apply for a suspension from school after returning home?
