In January of '88, after Christmas, Tiger finally passed his exams and entered Christ High School. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info became classmates with Jason and Andy.

But on the first day of school, when he came home, Tiger had a color on his face.

"Tiger, oh my God! You're fighting with people again? Son, you're just amazing right now. There really is a trend like Superman's development. Jessica teased her son in an exaggerated tone as she rubbed him with the medicine. but the heart is dissatisfied.

"No, it's because I haven't fought for a long time, and I only hung the lottery today, don't worry! Practice a few more times and I'll definitely become a master. Tiger replied, rolling his eyes.

"Ambitious! I'm waiting for you to be Bruce. Plum. Jessica directly strained her hands, and Tiger screamed "Wow Wow" in pain.

"So it hurts, son, you're far away from Bruce. Lee's road is still long! But son, you haven't told me the reason for the fight! ”

"Mom, you're really gossiping. Because a few of the kids taunted Andy, and you knew that Jason was a brute, he didn't agree with him, so he did it. ”

"Not bad! Boy, it's righteous enough! ”

"Hey! Mom, I used to think that beautiful people were treated preferentially wherever they went. But today I realized that beauty is also a sin. Andy is good at studying because he has a heartthrob face, but the boys at school often trouble him. No one wanted to be friends with him, and the girls were like flies, staring at him all the time. It's just horrible! "Tiger really only realized today that the legendary beauty is not easy to be.

After listening to Tiger's words, Jessica's gossip gene was activated at once. grabbed Tiger directly and asked about all kinds of gossip.

Basketball in the United States is school basketball, and they have leagues at every stage, middle leagues, high school leagues, college leagues to the NBA league to become a professional player. When Tiger arrived at the school, he learned that neither he nor Jason could be selected for the varsity team at this stage, and now they are still at the level of basketball fans.

However, educational institutions in the United States are not test-oriented education, and the learning tasks of junior high school are not heavy, and there is a lot of time left for students to do it themselves. Based on the legendary Kobe Bryant training method, Tiger has developed a training program and training volume that is in line with his current age group.

Tiger wakes up at 6 a.m. for breakfast, goes for a morning jog, and conserves energy. Back home, Jessica had already prepared breakfast, milk + bread. Then go to school and start the day of school life. In the afternoon, after all the classes, because there is no access to the school's special basketball training hall, you can only practice on the basketball court in the open air.

Tiger came to the basketball court, jogged around the court first, moved his body, and avoided injury, Tiger who understands this sport, knows too well that the biggest enemy of a basketball player is injury.

At the end of the jog, he started to shoot the ball on the sidelines, and at this time Jason and Andy also came to the court, Jason was holding the basketball, and before the people arrived, he yelled and shouted that he wanted to fight for 300 rounds.

Tiger continued to slap the ball in his hand and said to Jason, "Brute, do you know what it takes to be a basketball superstar or a professional basketball player?" Jason shook his head in confusion.

"First of all: physical fitness is required. You think, if you can't keep up with your fitness and can't play a full basketball game at all, can you become a player or a superstar? Jason nodded in agreement.

Tiger continued: "Then you need a strong body. You must know that basketball needs to be fought against, and with your current small body, I guarantee that you will definitely be knocked out directly. ”

"Number three: you need to have a good sense of the ball and dribble, if you can't dribble, do you have to run with the ball? Then you might as well switch to rugby. Not to mention a dragon dunk. Tiger knew Jason's favorite thing was a dunk.

"Number four: you need a good foundation. You have to know that no matter how good you are on the court, you need a good foundation, no matter how gorgeous your basketball skills are, they are all made up of simple basic movements. ”

"The last point: it's about avoiding injuries. You have to know that a lot of great basketball greats end up losing to injuries. Rick Barry, you should know, right? Injuries are so scary, so in order to avoid injuries, you need to warm up well before playing, so that your body is hot, stretched and soft enough to avoid injuries to the greatest extent. ”

Tiger kept the ball in his hand as he spoke, only replacing his right hand with his left hand in the process. Jason next to him was stunned for a moment, feeling very reasonable, but he didn't understand it very well. Andy had picked up the basketball and started to shoot like Tiger.

"Hey! Tiger, I don't really understand what you're saying, but do what you say, yes. You look particularly wise today, is Andy possessed? Jason said stupidly, touching his bare head.

"I'm smart every day, okay? It's just you, a brute bull, with no brains. Tiger went berserk, and Andy laughed.

Then Tiger took his two friends to start training from the most basic basketball basics. Andy knows that his basketball talent is very poor, but he has two good friends by his side, and he still trains seriously with him. It wasn't until the sun went down that the three tired and couldn't stand up were completed, and before the training tasks set by Tiger dispersed, Tiger also assigned homework, practicing left-handed dribbling and running every morning.

Although the basketball training formulated by Tiger is not professional, it is already the best training content that the three of them can get during this period. The two closest friends and Tiger began to train basketball rain or shine together, and while the basketball level increased rapidly, the height also increased, and by the time of another Christmas, Tiger had reached a height of 1.75 meters, Andy had also reached 1.60 meters, and Jason had grown rapidly, had caught up with Tiger, and had a tendency to surpass him. This made Tiger very depressed.

The more time spent together, the deeper the understanding of the three people, and the deeper and purer friendship.

The bad news is also there, Jason's basketball shortcomings are obvious, and his shooting is terrible. The problem of hand feel is not something that can be solved by training. This frustrated Jason and left him with a lot less smile on his face.

Andy really has no talent for basketball, but he has been training consistently, which deeply shocked Tiger. Every time I am so tired that I can't lift my hands, and when I want to give up, I feel ashamed when I look at Andy next to me.

In the purest friendship, the three of them are influencing each other, learning, encouraging, working hard, and moving towards the distance of their dreams.
