Chapter 57 A Different Skill

The players who won a victory were still inexplicably excited until they got on the bus. A few guys who were usually very active even opened the windows and sang at the top of their voices.But the boring long-distance travel soon wore away their enthusiasm, and almost everyone became listless, either reading books or listening to music, and more people fell asleep with their hats on their faces.

The scenery on both sides of the US interstate highway is actually not bad, but it will be annoying after a long time, so it is better to take the time to rest.Xu Hao drew the curtains and closed his eyes to rest his mind, but he was actually doing various training in the system.

Xu Hao has benefited a lot from the two games against the American high school team. After virtual training, these experiences have been converted into his strength.Whether it is shooting, dribbling, running or other small aspects, Xu Hao has made great progress.

After a long journey, the bus finally took them to the third location, Memphis, Tennessee. This time they were going to challenge a school called Mitchell High School.However, Gong Xiaoyang did not arrange for them to stay in a hotel near the school, but directly in the urban area, which was convenient for him to take the players to the scene to watch the Grizzlies game.

Compared with the Lakers, the exposure rate of the Grizzlies is much lower, and because of their record, their tickets are also much cheaper.Now the head of the Grizzlies is the Spanish big man Pau Gasol, coupled with players such as Mike Miller and "Little Flying Squirrel" Stoudemire, the strength is still good, and they are still in the playoffs for the time being this season. in the ranks of the race.

The game that Gong Xiaoyang took them to watch was the Grizzlies' home game against the Raptors. Although the latter had Bosh, the "Golden Generation of 03", it was far less attractive than when Carter led the team.But this is the first time in Xu Hao's life to watch an NBA game live. It feels different from the NCAA. After all, it is the entire city of Memphis that supports the Grizzlies.

The FedEx Arena was filled with high-decibel cheers and shouts from beginning to end, especially when Gasol received the ball, the voice of "MVP! MVP!" was deafening, which made Xu Hao and his team excited.Sun Lianlian sighed: "If one day I have this kind of treatment, I will die without regret." Xu Hao laughed loudly: "Maybe we will all have it!"

No one fell asleep when we went back that night. Although there were no lights on in each room, everyone still chatted with their roommates in the dark until almost dawn.When Gong Xiaoyang was doing his rounds in the morning, he saw everyone's heavy dark circles and expressed that he was helpless. He could only let them stay in the room to rest while he discussed with Mitchell High School and could not arrive until the afternoon.

Seeing that the head coach's nose is not a nose and his eyes are not eyes, everyone was silent, and quickly threw themselves on the bed to continue to sleep.After Gong Xiaoyang made the phone call, he also felt very helpless. Strictly speaking, these children are not basketball players, but at most basketball fans. It will be difficult to be strict with themselves for a while.

At noon, Gong Xiaoyang took the trouble to knock on the doors of all the rooms again. What made him feel a little better was that although everyone still had dark circles under their eyes, they were still very energetic overall. He was a little more prepared for tonight's game. expect.If everyone is still looking listless, then it doesn't matter if we don't play in this game, we won't learn anything anyway.

After arriving at Mitchell High School, the coaches of the two sides exchanged greetings, and the players also greeted each other.Xu Hao still served as a substitute in this game, but Xue Xiaofeng got a starting position. The reason is very simple. Gong Xiaoyang's original starting small forward made frequent mistakes during pre-match training, and Gong Da's director gave Xue Xiaofeng this opportunity in a fit of anger.

It's a pity that Gong Xiaoyang didn't do enough homework before coming here. Although Mitchell High School's reputation is not obvious, but their roster has a top five high school player in 2006 - Thaddeus Young, the position is small forward .If Gong Xiaoyang knew, he would definitely make targeted arrangements in advance, but now he can only rely on Xue Xiaofeng to carry it alone.

Xue Xiaofeng himself is full of confidence, and his heart is also full of fire.In the first game, he just watched Xu Hao and Harden fight each other, and the second game focused on the inside duel. As a well-known high school player in China, Xue Xiaofeng has been a spectator for two consecutive games. A hearty victory to prove that he is not in vain.

However, Xue Xiaofeng was hit hard at the beginning of the game. He found that the taciturn guy he was facing was too strong. Although he was a small forward, he had excellent footwork inside and his physical fitness was much stronger than him.The most important thing is that Yang rarely relies on his own body except for rebounding. He is obviously also a technical wing.

This discovery made Xue Xiaofeng feel competitive. If Yang simply bullied him with the physical fitness of a black man, he would lose if he lost.But if it is a competition of skills, Xue Xiaofeng believes that he will not lose to his opponent in this respect.

Compared with Yang's technique, which focuses on the inside line, Xue Xiaofeng is more like an outside line. In other words, one of them can swing up to the fourth position, and the other can only swing down to the second position. different.

But what made Xue Xiaofeng feel embarrassed was that Yang moved very fast. Many times he had found shooting opportunities from the outside, but before he could make a shot, Yang rushed to him, stretched out his abnormally long arms, and tried his best to shoot. Interfering with Xue Xiaofeng's shooting.

In desperation, Xue Xiaofeng could only choose to break through with the ball. If he passed the ball, his momentum would be lost.But no matter how he moved around in the three-second zone, Yang was always with him, standing between Xue Xiaofeng and the basket, preventing him from reaching the basket.Seeing that the attack time was about to come, Xue Xiaofeng had no choice but to choose a throw, but he was hit as soon as the ball was released.

Although the ball is still in the hands of the Challenger team, Xue Xiaofeng's expression turned ugly.As the son of Xue Yong and the top star of Yangcheng Experimental Middle School, when did Xue Xiaofeng receive such treatment on the court?In fact, it is not uncommon for Xue Xiaofeng to be blocked in the game, but this time Xue Xiaofeng is completely powerless to fight back, and the opposite Yang is even more calm, as if this is an insignificant matter, which makes Xue Xiaofeng almost vomit blood in anger , and my heart is even more at a loss for the future.

Why?Can't you beat your opponent without the opponent's physical strength and skill?Could it be that he has always been a fool who sits on the sky?That being the case, are all previous efforts in vain?
