Chapter 018: Victory and defeat are in the court

"So, Erniu, what did John Wooden write on the note?" asked Su Junyang, who was giving an exclusive interview to Ruan Erniu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

To be honest, before coming to the United States, he thought about communicating with Kraft Nguyen many times. But it wasn't until he met the real person that he realized that many of his assumptions were largely incorrect.

The NCAA-based TC boy doesn't have the traditional height advantage, and his 6-foot-6" height is always a concern for him to play inside, even if his arm muscles are so developed.

After the topic continued to deepen, the two naturally talked about Ruan Erniu's past. Su Junyang also wouldn't have thought that this boy was actually from gymnastics.

God knows how his coach recruited him to the team in the first place? He's just a small player in the basketball world, but he's probably a giant in the gymnastics world.

Ruan Erniu spread his hands and said: "The master also thought that I was a manufacturable material, and there were also tall players above 170cm like Xing Aowei in the national team back then, who would have thought that I would grow so fast? I was only 158cm when I was fifteen years old, who knew that I grew 20 centimeters at the age of sixteen, and almost 20 centimeters at the age of seventeen." It's weird, my dad is only 168cm, my mom is almost 165cm, but my brother jumped to 185cm, I won't talk about it, my little sister recently called, said that there are more than 170cm. It's weird!"

Su Junyang said with a smile: "This proves that the living standards of the Chinese people have improved significantly, so the height level continues to rise!

Immediately afterwards, Su Junyang talked about Ruan Erniu's mental journey after coming to the United States. Ruan Erniu's flat tone could not hide his superhuman dedication for more than half a year, and Su Junyang felt that it was not easy for the young man to listen to him.

Later the topic returned to the previous question, John Wooden's secret pointers!

Ruan Erniu smiled and took out a note and handed it to Su Junyang, there were only 3 on it:

1. Increase ball holding, you have such strength.

2. Relax your arms and use your wrists and fingers flexibly when shooting.

3. Enjoy basketball and enjoy life.

"It's that simple?" asked Su Junyang incredulously.

Ruan Erniu nodded and said, "No one believes it, but it's really that simple." Coach Wooden is a guy who doesn't care about wins and loses, he only talks about progress. In his words, as long as you live for a day, you have to think better! Legend has it that he never spoke for more than 20 seconds at a time, but he always got the gist right!"

Su Junyang nodded and said: "Your nationality or TC have you ever thought about joining the national team?08 The Imperial Capital Olympics is coming, and fans all over the country hope that we can make progress in some collective events!"

Ruan Erniu Zhengse said: "I am waiting for the call of the national team at any time, although I know that I am not qualified now, but I am ready at any time!"

Su Junyang closed the notebook with satisfaction, this was an extremely successful interview. Ruan Erniu, this name will not be long before it becomes a household name in TC.

It won't be long before young people in China will see Ruan Erniu's special introduction in the "Basketball Pioneer". This young man who came to the United States from China to chase his dreams will become famous with this and start the prelude to his huge influence in TC.

Of course, at this time, the student party will not focus all its attention on Ruan Erniu, because they care more about the high-quality cost performance of "Basketball Herald" and the NBA superstar posters that are used to plaster the walls. (The local tyrant bought "Slam Dunk", and Diao bought "Pioneer", which belongs to the youth of a generation.) )

……

The NCAA's regular season is looming, but UCLA's tactics are changing.

The attacking lineup with Aaron Afflaro as the core is evolving into an attacking lineup where Ruan Erniu and Afflaro coexist.

Although Ruan Erniu is only in the first grade, no one will question whether he has such a right. After a few warm-up matches, Ruan Erniu used his absolute dominance to tell everyone that he was so trustworthy.

After all, the NCAA is not an impetuous NBA for fame and fortune, although the senior is also unhappy to be robbed of power by the junior class, but under the control of Coach Ben Holland, no one dares to deliberately embarrass Ruan Erniu. Whoever deliberately creates contradictions within the team is afraid that he will be thrown on the bench by Coach Holland at the first time, and the head coach of the NCAA can cover it like this!

In addition to continuous strength training, basic dribbling training and shooting training that is always in good condition, Ruan Erniu has recently begun to cultivate his passing ability, consciously or unconsciously. Ben Holland's willingness to design tactics specifically for him is also a testament to Erniu's elevated status in the team.

In the basketball circle of Los Angeles, Ruan Erniu is already a well-known freshman. It's going to be a little bit of a discount throughout California. If this scope is expanded to the whole country, then Erniu's sense of existence will be too weak.

Because it was also in this year that there was a freshman who gathered the attention of the whole country at the same time, and he was Kevin Durant of the University of Texas. The guy, who is almost 6'9" tall, does the job of a quarterback swingman, and the misalignment advantage in the alignment has reached a terrifying level.

In addition to Durant, there is also a talented sophomore center who catches the eyes of the whole meter, and Greg Oden of Ohio State University is also a presence that should not be underestimated. If it weren't for the wrist injury in his freshman year, this man who is destined to be comparable to the Lord of the Rings - Bill Russell would probably have landed in the NBA long ago, no matter what, he is known as a once-in-20-year prodigy!

There are even radical media outlets who have shouted that although the NCAA regular season has not yet begun, the top two NBA draft picks in the class of '07 have been booked. This statement has made many young people who want to be in the NBA unhappy, but in fact it says what many mainstream media really think.

In UCLA's training hall, Westbrook and Ruan Erniu were sweating and practicing harder.

During a break in the middle, the two chatted about basketball news on the Internet.

Westbrook said to Ruan Erniu unhappily: "What do you think, do you have a feeling of being neglected?"

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "Russell, don't worry at all. When the season is over, we'll talk about the results!"

Sibu raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Why are you always so calm, and you never seem to be provoked?"

Ruan Erniu shook his head and said: "Who said I wouldn't be provoked? I just think that instead of sulking off the court, it is better to use practical actions on the court to make the best counterattack! Greg Oden? Kevin Durant?

Sibu also said proudly: "That's right, UCLA will definitely defeat all opponents and win the final championship!"

The two slapped their hands hard and shouted "fighting!"

Excited to devote myself to more intense training.
