King of shooting guards

Chapter 215 Training
He's really a tough guy, but pressing him so actively will only reveal more flaws!The basketball under the crotch changed hands, and Li Zheng's speed suddenly accelerated to make a breakthrough, "Snap!" There was a crisp sound of hitting the ground, Li Zheng's figure suddenly stopped, turned around, and the basketball was suddenly pulled back. As he expected, Li Changgeng's speed was too high Failing to stop in time, Li Zheng was already completely flat in front of him!

With such a good angle, Li Zheng would certainly not be soft-hearted, "Snap!" When the basketball was retracted, Li Zheng had already adjusted his body's center of gravity and was ready to shoot.

Go in, raise your hand, jump up, shoot the basketball high in your hand...

"Crack!" A hand suddenly appeared on the hit and slapped the basketball out of the shooting track from the right——Li Changgeng!It was impossible, and Li Zheng's absolutely calm heart could not help but be filled with shock at this moment.How could it be possible to adjust so quickly?
After all, he still underestimated Li Changgeng's mobility!Not only him, Geng Xiangzhi, who was watching the game from the sidelines, also opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

The blocked basketball touched the ground and was caught by Sima Shenji, "Pass it!" A red figure in front rushed out of the crowd like lightning and rushed towards the white team's position - Li Changgeng!

After all, Li Zheng was Li Zheng. After the momentary shock, he quickly came back to his senses, and followed Li Changgeng to quickly return to defense.

"What a strong leg!" Li Zheng tried his best and was instantly thrown away by Li Changgeng. In just a few short steps, he had already brought up his speed completely, and he was still accelerating.

Avoiding the defensive player Sima Shenji, he threw the basketball high, and the basketball drew a high arc from the backcourt and flew straight to the opponent's backboard.

Looking up at the hit basketball and rushing to the basket, Li Changgeng leaped high, with his right hand raised high to catch the hit basketball!
Ga?what happened?When Li Changgeng, who jumped to the hit, was about to catch the ball, he found that the basketball hadn't flown enough and refused to fall. His body began to fall. Li Changgeng waved his arms but couldn't touch anything. He could only watch helplessly. He watched the basketball fly past his fingers, "Snap!" The flying basketball hit the basket and bounced back quickly.A shadowy basketball in front of Li Changgeng's eyes quickly grew bigger, and before he could retract his raised hands, he "touched" the golden star shining basketball in front of him and hit his head.

"Touch!" Li Changgeng fell heavily on the ground with all four feet in the sky, and Li Changgeng vaguely saw the basketball shaking his head on the rim in the shining gold stars, as if he was very proud of his masterpiece.For a long time, Li Changgeng got into the basket unsteadily.

in?

in!

People on and off the court looked at the basketball bouncing on the ground with dumbfounded and unbelievable expressions. When their eyes turned to Li Changgeng who was lying on the ground with his legs up...

"Hahaha..." Huge laughter instantly flooded the gymnasium, and there were many players leaning forward and back laughing with their bellies in their arms.The frozen expression on Li Zheng's face couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw Li Changgeng.

Geng Xiangzhi on the sidelines was just drinking tea from a teacup, "Pfft!" With a loud laugh, all the tea in his mouth was choked out from his nostrils, his face flushed and he couldn't stop coughing, but when his eyes fell on Li Changgeng in the field, there was another burst of pain. Bigger laughter.

Sima Shenji wiped the tears that just came out of laughter and stretched out his hand to Li Changgeng who was still sitting on the ground, but when he saw his face, there was a louder laugh.The place where Li Changgeng was hit by the basketball was completely red, his forehead and nose were so red that he looked like a clown who had just painted his face.

Li Changgeng, who was furious and angry, punched Sima Shenji's hand with his fist, jumped up and pressed Sima Shenji, who was bending over, hugging his stomach and laughing, under his armpit: "Bastard, what kind of pass are you? Just to make Li Changgeng look ugly! Did you do it on purpose! Bastard..."

In the arena, Sima Shenji repeatedly begged for mercy, but Li Changgeng refused to let him go.

The laughter on and off the court grew louder.So far, the fierce atmosphere of the game just now has disappeared. Looking at a player leaning forward and back laughing, I really doubt whether they have the strength to continue the game.The idea of ​​winning in their minds just now was completely forgotten because of this sudden farce.

It is impossible to restart the game. Under Geng Xiangzhi's instruction, Yang Weiqi blew the whistle to end the game.

No one expected that a fierce game would end in such a farce, but for Geng Xiangzhi, the planner of the game, this was the most satisfying result.

The outcome of the game is almost ready. Originally, Geng Xiangzhi was worried that the outcome would affect Li Changgeng's relationship with other players after entering the U20 National Youth Team. Now it seems that this concern can be completely dispelled.

As for the purpose of arranging this game, it has been perfectly achieved. This game is enough for everyone to understand Li Changgeng's strength, and it is a matter of course for him to enter the U20.The confrontation with Li Zheng was also enough to let me understand his technical flaws at this stage and the areas that need to be improved. The internal confrontation situation of the U17 National Youth Team was also eased because of this game.After three games, the strength of both sides has been revealed. Although the confrontation continued, it also aroused the competition between them.Does competition lead to progress? The training atmosphere of the U17 National Youth Team in the future can almost be imagined.

All in all happy!
Fifty-lap penalty run?That was just casual talk at all, and the purpose was just to make them pay more attention to the game. (Poor Sima Shenji, the Quanjude Roast Duck is a free offer, but the pass just now can somewhat calm his mind! Haha...)
USA, University of Missouri.

The office of Mr. Smith, head coach of the University of Missouri basketball team.

The room was dark, and the crisp sound of keyboard tapping echoed in the room.The place where the sound came from was the computer on the desk. To be precise, it should be the man in front of the computer—Smith!

What Smith is doing now is to use computer software to process the game video input into the computer. At this moment, what he is dealing with is the video tape brought back from China-the video of our game against the amateur department.

Finally, Smith raised his head and let out a long breath. It seemed that the processing work was finally completed.

Looking at the data analysis results, Smith didn't even bother to look at the comprehensive statistics of the two parties. His mind was completely focused on the statistics of our No. 24—the statistics of Li Changgeng.

Score, 45 points, [-] assists, [-] rebounds, [-] steals... Even though he has watched this video tape more than once, and has known the results of such statistics more than once, he still can't help but feel admiration in his heart at this moment .

Of course, it's not just these things that he wants.

The software intercepts every score, every assist, and every rebound of Li Changgeng in the entire video for data analysis.

On the screen was the scene of Li Changgeng dunking several times, and there was real-time data analysis next to it. Smith looked at the data analysis on the screen and was silently speechless: God, this is another Carter!His jumping ability is really amazing, even if his height does not increase any more in the future, his jumping ability is enough to make up for the gap caused by height.

Jumping is amazing, but that's not what Smith is most concerned about.

Looking at his breakthrough, several breakthrough scenes carefully selected by Smith were displayed on the screen. After processing, the camera lens was naturally focused on Li Changgeng as much as possible, and the playback speed was also adjusted to the lowest.

On the left, speed up, the basketball swings back, the upper body seems to have a shaking movement, do you want to change direction?Oh, it's a fake move, followed by two consecutive fake moves, hey, his right foot seems to have a sliding step!With a slight movement of the wrist, the basketball slightly changed its direction after hitting the ground!Left foot at the same time...

"Pa, pa..." The body of the person on the screen suddenly shook left and right, left?right?Smith can't help but put himself in the role of defender.

No, the two players on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, and the figures turned around. The basketball came out from the opponent's crotch against the ground, and the figures spun and rushed past the encirclement circle of the two players.

How can it be?Smith was astonished and stunned like Hong Lingyu and Amu on the screen.Just now it was obviously impossible to break through!The two people in front have already sealed off any point of breakthrough!
Play it back again.

Two changes of direction, a slight change of angle, a sudden slide... The two defenders in front made correct judgments at the same time but fell in two opposite directions!

What a powerful fake move, it actually fooled two people at the same time!

I stared at the screen so intently, and played it at such a slow speed that I had to watch it a second time to realize the mystery of it. What an amazing skill this is!

Is such a skill really possessed by a Chinese college student?What kind of keen sense of touch, what kind of quick reaction can make such an action?

After all, what kind of training creates such a player?All of a sudden, Smith couldn't help but hate the inefficiency of the credit agency, which has not yet completed the investigation.

There was no sound in the dark room. In front of the computer, Smith stared at the computer screen with an expression of excitement and ecstasy on his face. The right hand holding the mouse trembled slightly due to excessive force.

Incomparable, incomparable!The talent and talent of this young man in front of him is absolutely unparalleled!What was repeatedly demonstrated on the screen was the breakthrough just now. The more I studied Smith, the more I was amazed at its extraordinaryness.It's not just a performance of perfect skill but also a display of extraordinary talent.It is extraordinary to have such skills, but Smith is even more amazed that he was able to open up a breakthrough path that would never have existed!

In just a split second, he anticipated every reaction of the opponent, and instantly calculated a channel that didn't exist!

Amazing intellect!

Smith watched this breakthrough several times in a row before reluctantly shifting the target. Just look at his shooting.

The screen was replaced by scenes of Li Changgeng shooting basketball again and again.

What a beautiful movement!
Such a hasty shot?The shooting speed is really fast!
Well, the angle of this shot is really high, high-throw shot!
Hey, he jumps very high, it's really hard to defend against such a high position...

The timing was good, the shot was fired after the opponent started to fall...

Leaning back, barbs, turning around and hooking shots, changing hands for layups... Smith counted his shooting methods silently while watching the video, and finally couldn't help but marvel: Is there any shot he can't know?It seems that as long as he can think of shooting methods, as long as he can put the basketball into the basket, he will show it. Does anyone else think of bouncing free throws to shoot three-pointers?Immediately, did he really think that he would dare to use it in the game?Look at his shooting area. From the basket in the penalty area to one meter away from the three-point line, there are almost half of the court where he shoots.He doesn't have any dead ends at all!
While admiring, Smith browsed the intercepted shooting video again, and at the same time grabbed a few wonderful pictures from time to time. These were all used to convince the school's senior management. There is not enough evidence. These stubborn and conservative guys don't believe a Chinese college student at all. An Asian teenager deserves their place in a special scholarship.I really don't know what my professional basketball coach's suggestion is in their eyes. Maybe they think they are the real professionals.

Smith continued his work while "greeting" those stupid old guys in his heart, suddenly his actions were frozen like a frozen picture on the screen.His eyes were fixed on the screen, his mouth was slightly open, as if he had been petrified all of a sudden.His brain was as stiff as his movements, and for a long time his mind was completely blank!
After a long time, Smith's lips finally moved, and his tiny voice gradually became louder, and he murmured and repeated a sentence: "The eyes are closed, his eyes are really closed..."

Eyes closed?

On the screen, Li Changgeng, who is beyond the three-point line, leaps high and hits the ball, holding the basketball high with his right hand, in a perfect shooting posture!His face was peaceful and there was even a smile at the corner of his mouth... These are not the point, the most incredible thing is that his eyes are closed!
It was closed, and Smith replayed the entire shooting action at the slowest speed. The camera zoomed in and zoomed in, and the angle of view focused on his eyes, which were closed!
From the moment he jumped up to when he shot the basketball, his eyes were completely closed!

Can you shoot a three-pointer with your eyes closed?Smith remembered the discussion between Mike and Jason on the plane.Can you shoot a three-pointer with your eyes closed?What a ridiculous thing I thought at that time, it turned out to happen before my eyes!
Smith's ears were buzzing, and his mind was rumbling with a little white.

It took a long time until his brain regained his ability to think again before he knew how to explain with his professional knowledge.Shooting with your eyes closed can be explained theoretically. It is indeed possible to close your eyes by relying on body memory, which has been tempered thousands of times.Isn't there a player who can send free throws to the basket with his eyes closed?
But free throws are free throws after all. Anyone with a little common sense can imagine the difference in difficulty.How much hard training is involved in sending the basketball to the basket with the memory of the body from beyond the three-point line!He should have made millions of consecutive shots like this.

Smith stared at the boy on the screen for a long time, smiling quietly, the moment he shot the basketball, he already knew that the basketball would definitely go in!At this moment, Smith knew that he was completely convinced by the boy in front of him!

Must get him!No matter what reason those old guys use to stop him, I must get him!If I miss this kind of Li Changgeng, I will spend the rest of my life in regret!Smith's fist didn't know when it was clenched tightly.

In a room in the dormitory of the U20 National Youth Team.

"Ah..." There was a miserable cry, "Bastard, take it easy..."

"Hahaha..." The owner of the voice was obviously suffering, but he still couldn't help laughing.The trembling hands that were applying the medicine immediately caused another scream, "Bastard, be gentle..." Accompanied by the scream, the owner of the voice was finally unwilling to be tortured and rose up to resist and turned over from the bed...

There were three other people in the room, holding teacups, leaning on the sofa, obviously sitting on a mountain and watching the tiger fight, and the expression on his face seemed to be very interesting.It was Li Zheng who was watching from the other side.

What about the other two?
Of course it is Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji!
After the game, Geng Xiangzhi immediately announced that Li Changgeng would join the U20 National Youth Team for training.There was no objection at the scene. Although the last one who sent the basketball into the basket with his face was a bit funny, Li Changgeng's strength in the game was enough to convince anyone.

The one who is happiest about this decision is Sima Shenji.After notifying Geng Xiangzhi, he immediately dragged Li Zheng and brought a few players to move Li Changgeng's dormitory yelling.And Li Changgeng, whose face was swollen like a pig because of the "face shooting", was hiding under the quilt to avoid everyone's eyes.While the U17 national youth team was stunned, Sima Shenji lifted the quilt and hit Li Changgeng's butt a few times, and Li Changgeng walked out of the room with his hands and feet on his back.The players brought by Sima Shenji rushed forward and took away Li Changgeng's few luggage.Hong Lingyu reminded the two players to carry away the desk Geng Xiangzhi assigned him.

The U17 players in the room watched the U20 seniors leave the room without saying a word for a long time.A group of people looked at each other and revealed this message at the same time in their eyes: which one is this playing?Why does it feel like Wang Laowu snatching a kiss!

According to regulations, only two people can live in a room, and Li Changgeng obviously can't live in Hong Lingyu and Sima Shenji's room.But Sima Shenji went out for a long time to stroll around and got special permission for him to put another bed in the room.Fortunately, the room is really big enough to add an extra bed and it doesn't look crowded.

Regarding Li Changgeng's face like a pig, Sima Shenji didn't have the slightest intention of introspection and regret, and rolled on the bed laughing with his belly in his arms.It wasn't until Li Changgeng charged forward angrily waving his fists that he restrained his laughter.Sima, who was in a good mood, took out a lot of ointment for reducing swelling and pain as if by magic, and wanted to apply it to Li Changgeng.After all, it is not an honor to have such a sauced pig face. After thinking about it, Li Changgeng bit the bullet and accepted Sima Shenji's abuse.

So there was the scene just now.

The two people on the bed punched, strangled, and scratched their necks to overwhelm each other with all their strength. The battle was fierce before the second grade. When the battle finally ended, both of them lay on the bed panting for a long time without any movement.

After a long time, Li Changgeng finally regained his strength, and tremblingly stretched out two fingers of his right hand in front of Sima Shenji.

"What do you mean?" Sima Shenji asked.

Two fingers moved: "Quanjude roast duck dinner, twice!"

"Plop!" Sima Shenji, who just propped himself up from the bed, limp and lay down on the bed again, "Idiot, can't you not think about this? Can't you think about other things besides roast duck?"

"No!" A firm answer!

Sima lying on the bed rolled his eyes angrily...

This is how Li Changgeng's life in the U20 National Youth Team began.

the next day.

As usual, it was Selena's call that woke Li Changgeng up from his sleep early.Hiding in the bed, talking sweetly, Qingqing, you Li Changgeng's sea chatted for a while, Li Changgeng just got up and brushed his teeth.At this time, the other two people in the dormitory were still snoring loudly.Holding his English book, Li Changgeng started his morning reading on the balcony.When the wake-up bell for the National Youth Team rang, it was already 10 minutes later.

Following Sima Shenji, Li Changgeng started the first day of training for the National Youth Team.With the guidance of Sima Shenji and Li Zheng, the physical training in the morning went very smoothly.

The training in the afternoon was conducted in the arena, led by Geng Xiangzhi himself.Running warm-up and pace training, followed by technical guidance and tactical lineup drills.Geng Xiangzhi omits the guidance and training of players' personal skills and directly conducts tactical drills. In his opinion, the cultivation of skills and tactics should be the task of the club, and the national team only needs to select the best players among them to join.Moreover, it is completely impossible to significantly improve their skills and tactics in a short training period.

The players selected here are indeed the most outstanding players of the same age, their skills have basically reached maturity, and their tactical training has reached a considerable level after so many years in the second team of the Shanghai Sharks.No matter how much Geng Xiangzhi guides them, it is really impossible to improve in a short period of time.But there is one person who is an absolute exception - Li Changgeng.

Judging from Geng Xiangzhi's investigation of him, the formal basketball training this young man who stands at the top of the basketball world is not even as good as that of a player of the same age.From the first FireWire joining UCLA some time ago to the comeback he led UCLA some time later, the so-called formal training added up to only three or four months.In Sima Shenji's conversation, "Li Changgeng is a self-taught Li Changgeng, and his teachers are those NBA game videos."

Did you train alone?Geng Xiangzhi accepted this statement.Geng Xiangzhi has already had a deep understanding of Li Changgeng's playing style in the two matches before and after, and watched the UCLA game several times in between.Brilliant, superb, and colorful, enough to make any coach heartbroken.But that doesn't mean there are no downsides.His game does contain too much "wild ball" color.
