Chapter 8: The Big Man

The military training ended at half past three in the afternoon, and the students, who had been tortured for a day, let out a cheer that they could finally change out of their sweat-soaked military training uniforms and go home early to blow the air conditioner and watch TV.

Lu Yuan went to the toilet to change into his own clothes, and washed his face in front of the faucet, but he had no intention of going home.

After listening to Li Qiang's words in the afternoon, Lu Yuan had made up his mind to participate in the freshman selection of the school's basketball team.

Since the dream is to make money, and you can't work in school, the best way to get a subsidy is to join the school team.

For his dream, he wants to play basketball!

But Lu Yuan knew almost nothing about basketball.

Most of the boys in junior high school played basketball, while Lu Yuan played table tennis with a small number of boys. Every time other classmates asked him to play basketball, Lu Yuan would shake his head and refuse.

Every day on the way home from school at noon, there are always a lot of boys watching basketball games in front of the TV in the commissary at the school gate - it seems to be the NBA that Shiraba said.

In the afternoon, during recess, the boys would discuss the player, the team, who was better and who was better.

None of these Lu Yuan participated, basketball was a flood beast for him, which had something to do with Xu Qian's education since he was a child.

But this time, Lu Yuan decided not to listen to his mother, he wanted to try what basketball was.

"The key is for subsidies, and school choice fees, so that my mother doesn't have to work so hard, and she will definitely forgive me when she knows about it in the future." Lu Yuan comforted himself like this.

At this time, Lu Yuan's mobile phone rang, and it was a call from Jia Yumeng.

"Lu Yuan, come down quickly! I'll be waiting for you on the first floor! I'll go to grandma's house today and go with you. ”

Jia Yumeng's angry voice came from the phone, and it seemed that a day's military training had no effect on her at all.

"Huh? I didn't go home first, and the teacher left me with something. Lu Yuan lied.

"What can you do?"

Jia Yumeng is a little strange, what can happen before the official start of school.

"That, that......"

"You don't know any pretty girl, and you're going to ride her home at night, right? ”

"No, no, no, I ......"

"Hmph, forget it if you don't say it, I'll go back by myself!"

After speaking, Jia Yumeng, who was huffing, hung up the phone. Lu Yuan felt a little guilty in his heart, he didn't want to hide it from Jia Yumeng, but he was afraid that if she accidentally told his mother, it would be bad.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Lu Yuan received a message from Bai Ye: See you at the Licheng Hotel at ten o'clock at four.

After the afternoon training, Lu Yuan found Bai Ye, hoping that he could teach himself to play basketball and pass the test of the school basketball team in a short time.

Bai Ye told Lu Yuan to let him go back and change his clothes, wash his face, and wait for his news.

"Why do you want to go to the hotel? Is there some secret deal?"

Lu Yuan had doubts in his heart, but after thinking about it, there should be no danger, so he went back to the classroom and waited for a while, estimating that Jia Yumeng had already gone back, so he went downstairs and rode his bicycle straight to the Licheng Hotel.

……………………

Licheng Hotel is located in West Street of Licheng City, is the only four-star hotel in Licheng, set of hotel, venue, hotel in one, can be regarded as the most luxurious comprehensive hotel in Licheng.

The last time Lu Yuan came here was when he was in elementary school, when his eldest cousin got married and held a banquet here, he never had a chance to come here again.

When he arrived at the gate of the hotel, Bai Ye sent another message, asking him to go to the west hall and take the elevator to the 4th floor.

Lu Yuan put the car in the parking shed and entered the west hall.

Licheng Hotel is not a separate building, but composed of several buildings with different functions, the west hall is a new VIP building of the hotel in recent years, with luxurious decoration and complete facilities.

Lu Yuan walked on the bright black terrazzo marble floor tiles, and there was no scrap of paper or dust on the ground, and his heart was more nervous than when he had just started school and entered the new classroom.

Taking the elevator up to the 4th floor, Lu Yuan found that this floor was not a guest room, but a sports center.

Coming out of the elevator room, go straight to the left is a large swimming pool and changing room, to the right is the gym, the front is the lounge, Bai Ye is sitting on the sofa in the lounge, playing with his mobile phone with Erlang's legs crossed.

And next to Bai Ye, there is still a person standing, a tall and strong guy who is taller than Bai Ye, wearing a military training T-shirt on his upper body, feeling like he is going to be blown up, and his lower body is wearing sweatpants, which is estimated to have no suitable pants like Bai Ye.

When Lu Yuan saw this person, his heart couldn't help but tighten, thinking what kind of person this guy is, he looks fierce and vicious, could it be Bai Ye's thug? Bai Ye doesn't want to rob, right?

Lu Yuan subconsciously touched his pocket, except for the melted chocolate bar, there was not a penny, and his mood couldn't help relaxing.

Bai Ye saw Lu Yuan standing at the door, got up from the sofa, and said, "What are you doing standing, come in and sit down for a while and drink saliva, I have covered this place." ”

After four o'clock in the afternoon, there will be no one in the sports center in the west hall, and there will be more than one person until seven o'clock in the evening, which is equivalent to being chartered.

Lu Yuan walked into the lounge, picked up a bottle of mineral water and drank some of it, and rode all the way over for a day of training, still quite thirsty.

"Hey, would you like some water?"

Lu Yuan saw that the big man was still standing there motionless, sweating profusely, so he handed him another bottle of water and asked.

"That's high. Lu Yuan thought as he stood beside him.

The height of this big man is probably more than two meters, and Bai Ye is half a head shorter than him when he stands up, and Lu Yuan has to look up at him.

He had thick, thick eyebrows, and dark skin, like two caterpillars crawling on the bark of a tree.

His two eyes, big and round, like two copper bells, if matched with a big beard, can be a leopard's head and eyes.

The big man blinked in the face of Lu Yuan's friendliness, looking a little embarrassed, he scratched his head, and took the water handed over by Lu Yuan with his big hand.

"Pooh!" The big man unscrewed the lid of the mineral water bottle with two fingers, looked at Lu Yuan, and then at Bai Ye, didn't drink it, and put the water back on the coffee table.

"Nerd...... Drink, no money. Bai Ye on the side frowned and said.

Lu Yuan listened and secretly stuffed a bottle of water into his schoolbag.

……………………

In the early afternoon, after the military training was over, Bai Ye changed his clothes and prepared to return to the Licheng Hotel.

He knew that there was a sports center in the hotel, which was just right for practicing and learning the basic skills of basketball.

Bai Ye learned from Principal Zhu that the selection of basketball students in Licheng Middle School is mainly divided into three parts, one is the physical fitness test, the second is the basic skills test, and the third is the five-on-five actual battle.

This freshman selection is estimated to be this routine, and Bai Ye is not worried about the physical fitness test. After a day of military training, he could see that Lu Yuan's physical fitness was amazing.

The five-on-five actual battle Bai Ye doesn't care, if he is in a group with Lu Yuan, he will feed Lu Yuan, and if he is in the opponent group with Lu Yuan, he will release water to Lu Yuan.

The only thing that worries him is the second basic skills test, Bai Ye has confirmed that Lu Yuan really has no basketball foundation at all, and boys like this are really rare in high school.

The selection of new students is scheduled for the first day of school after the end of military training, and there are still two weeks to go, Bai Ye wants to see if he can help Lu Yuan practice basic skills, so that he can pass the selection.

The reason why I want to help Lu Yuan is mainly to see if Lu Yuan has any talent in basketball, if so, he can be selected into the basketball team after two weeks of training, and then Bai Ye will have one more help on the road to the national championship.

If not, Bai Ye has nothing to lose, it just so happens that there is nothing to do during the military training, and he doesn't have any friends in Licheng.

Just when Bai Ye walked to the school gate and was about to take a taxi back, he saw a "giant" wearing a military training uniform at the roadside commissary, which was this big man with a leopard head and ringed eyes.

Bai Ye didn't expect that there would be such a master in Licheng Middle School, it was really an unexpected gain, and he wanted to know if he was on the basketball team.

For a high school basketball team, height is an absolute talent.

Bai Ye has learned before that the tallest basketball team of Licheng Middle School is about 1.95 meters, center, which is enough in county-level competitions, and when it comes to national-level competitions, the height of some strong teams is adult-level, and 195 is a forward.

This big man is not only more than 2 meters tall, but also has broad shoulders and an excellent arm span, which is a basketball material in terms of stature.

Therefore, Bai Ye took the initiative to talk for the first time, but after asking for a long time, he found that this big man seemed to be a mute, no matter what he asked, he would only nod and shake his head.

Three sticks can't hit a fart, Bai Ye wonders if this guy is mentally retarded, and he was recruited by height sports.

In the end, Bai Ye really ran out of patience, thinking that since the basketball team was recruiting 3 people this time, it would be better to count this big man and take him to train together, so he forcibly stuffed the big man into a taxi and took him to the hotel.

Before Lu Yuan entered the lounge, the big man had been standing by the sofa for fifteen minutes, not moving, not saying a word.

Bai Ye didn't bother to care about him, so he just left him aside.

Seeing the big man carefully pick up the mineral water bottle and drink the water in the bottle in three seconds, Bai Ye said to the two: "I don't like to talk nonsense, let's start right away." ”

The two glanced at each other, and Lu Yuan only saw two words in the eyes of the big man: confused!

But they still obediently followed Bai Ye into the gym.

……………………

The gym in the West Hall Sports Center is large and divided into three areas, one is the equipment area, one is the aerobic area, and the other is the free area.

Bai Ye swiped the two of them into the free zone, took out a basketball, threw it into Lu Yuan's hand, and asked, "Do you know what a basketball is?"

Lu Yuan received the ball and looked at the big man, and the big man also looked at him, and both of them shook their heads.

In fact, Lu Yuan still knew a little, but if he wanted to answer specifically, he really couldn't say why.

Bai Ye sighed, scolded the two idiots in his heart, and said: "Basketball is a sport invented by a professor named Naismith in the United States. Later, it evolved into the current situation, with five players on each side, one holding the ball to attack the hoop, and the other defending, until the game time runs out, and the team with the highest score wins. ”

Bai Ye began to briefly introduce the origin, history, and basic rules of basketball to the two of them.

In the past, Lu Yuan only knew that basketball was thrown into a basket by a few people holding a ball, and he really didn't know how to throw it and how to win.

Bai Ye's explanation was clear and concise, and Lu Yuan quickly had a basic concept of basketball.

"Let me introduce the three basic skills that you want to play well in basketball, the first is dribbling, if you want to move with the ball, you must be able to dribble, because basketball is not allowed to run with the ball; the second is shooting, if you want to score in the game, you must use the shot, throw the ball in your hand into the small basket; the third is passing, the basketball game is not a one-person sport, you must learn to share, and the way to share is to pass. ”

Bai Ye introduced the three basic basketball skills, which is his focus today, to teach Lu Yuan the basic basketball skills. By the way, let's see if that big man can play, if he can play, Bai Ye will consider bringing him into the basketball team as well, his height is too attractive.

Bai Ye found two more basketballs, threw one to the big man, and the other held it in his hand, and said, "I'm going to try your ball sense, and you can follow what I do later." ”

After speaking, Bai Ye put the ball on his waist and began to do the action of "wrapping the ball around his waist".

Wrapping your hands around the ball is the most basic action in basketball training, and it is one of the simplest and most effective actions to train players to feel the ball.

Through different parts, different difficulties and different speeds, the players' familiarity with basketball can be effectively cultivated, and the foundation for subsequent dribbling training can be laid.

Among them, the waist around the ball is the foundation of the foundation, and this kind of basic action Bai Ye will practice ten sets every day, ranging from 30 to 50 times per group, so he is easy to do and seems to be extremely easy.

Lu Yuan saw that Bai Ye was doing it so easily, and he also tried to wrap the ball around his waist, at first he was relatively slow, trying to hold the ball with his hand to prevent it from falling, and also to prevent the ball from touching his waist.

Slowly, Lu Yuan's two hands became faster and faster, alternating more and more proficient, and the ball swirled around his waist like a hula hoop.

On the other hand, the big man's waist is really a bit thick, and it seems a bit laborious to do the action of wrapping the ball around the waist, and the ball falls to the ground after a few hits, and the speed is even faster.

"This kid does have some talent, he has good coordination and motor learning ability, and his hands are quite big. This big guy is not very good, but it doesn't matter if you do it inside. ”

Looking at the ball around the waist of the two, Bai Ye made a preliminary evaluation of the two in his heart. He then turned up the difficulty and swapped the ball around his waist for a crotch wrap. Compared with wrapping the ball around the waist, wrapping the ball around the crotch is more of a test of the hand's ability to control the ball.

This also failed to stump Lu Yuan, just watching Bai Ye do it a few times, he relied on the gourd to draw a scoop decently, and the speed was not slow at all.

And the big man can't even wrap the ball around his waist, let alone wrap the ball around his crotch.

After about ten minutes of practice around the ball, Shiraba began to demonstrate basic dribbling movements, from one-handed continuous shooting, to exchanging rackets with left and right hands, from quick fingertip plucking, to low-speed dribbling between travels.

After doing a few actions, Bai Ye was surprised to find that Lu Yuan, this kid, could learn it as soon as he could!

Although he occasionally misses the ball, he likes to look down at the ball, and his finger movements are not very skilled, but he can do all the dribbling movements from beginning to end.

Bai Ye did not stop to correct and instruct once, because his movements were all right, and they were all imitated according to Bai Ye's movements.

That big man is different from Lu Yuan, he has a bit of basketball foundation, he doesn't do well around the ball around his waist, but he dribbles decently, and he looks like he has played basketball.

After practicing for about half an hour, Bai Ye asked the two of them to rest a little, and he left to go to the equipment area to get a little prop to assist in the practice.

The day's military training and more than half an hour of practice made Lu Yuan feel a little tired, so he sat on the ground.

"Hey, big man, sit down and rest for a while, shall you?"

Lu Yuan saw that the big man was still standing beside him in a daze, so he persuaded him to sit down, this guy was too oppressive to stand.

The big man scratched his head, looked at Lu Yuan, and sat down cross-legged. He didn't speak, just held the basketball in his hand in a daze.

Lu Yuan saw that he was in a daze, and gently touched his stomach with his hand, thinking that this big guy was probably hungry, so he took out a melted chocolate bar from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Are you hungry? ”

The big man looked embarrassed, shook his hand, but couldn't resist Lu Yuan's enthusiasm, and finally took the chocolate bar, carefully tore it open, and stuffed the chocolate bar that had been sunburned and deformed into his mouth.

It seemed that he was indeed hungry, and he ate all the chocolate in one bite.

"Hey, what's your name? Do you also want to participate in the basketball team freshman selection? Do you want to pay the school choice fee? I heard that there is a subsidy for joining the basketball team, do you know how much it will cost?"

Lu Yuan asked a series of questions to the big man, which made the big man a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know which one to answer.

He hesitated for a while, decided to pick the best question, and said, "My name is Wang Yourong......"

Hearing the big man's words, Lu Yuan was stunned.

He couldn't believe his ears, a big man with a leopard's head and eyes, and his voice was as sharp and thin as a girl's.
