Chapter 348 [New Streetball Teammates]
Zhou Xuan's departure from New York means the end of the streetball challenge. Because they didn't play with all the celebrities, those fans who were superstitious about the "masters in the people" continued to believe that the "masters" disdained to play with Zhou Xuan and disdainfully played in the NBA.
Zhou Xuan didn't find a suitable street teammate. Back in Los Angeles, there are still people who come to the door to compete with Zhou Xuan, and it's two, Gerald of the Mavericks? Nate of Green and the Knicks? Robinson.
I don't know how the Heavenly Remnant Hand and the Little Potato got together, and they can be called "Heavenly Remnant Potato". They didn't have Zhou Xuan's phone number, and expressed their willingness to go head-to-head by contacting Mitchell.
Zhou Xuan immediately replied and made an appointment at the street court in Los Angeles. Los Angeles is also famous for its streetball, which is the Drew League, although it has not yet started, there are also people who go to play, heads-up or 3v3.
Zhou Xuan and Little Jordan, Maya? The Moore trio met with Green and Robinson.
Zhou Xuan smiled and asked, "It's been a long time, should we start fighting now, or will we talk for a while?" ”
"What are you talking about?" Robinson asked, they didn't have a good relationship.
"Gerrard has been looking for a job lately, right? Nate is also in an awkward position with the Knicks. Zhou Xuan said lightly.
Robinson snorted, "You don't need to worry about this, do you?" ”
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I don't care about you." Steven Gerrard, your agent can talk to the Warriors if you're interested in competing for a championship. ”
The target of Zhou Xuan's lobbying was Green. The dunk king didn't get much of a chance in the Mavericks, but he was very athletic, and the Nets offered Morrow a three-year, 10 million contract, and the Warriors could choose to match, and the uniform team was hesitant. If Morrow is gone, bringing in Green could also strengthen the No. 2 spot.
Green came here with the purpose of joining the Warriors, Zhou Xuan proposed it first, and he was very happy. "I didn't expect you to take a good look at me, thank you first. I'll talk to my broker. ”
"As long as you come, I'll definitely pass the ball to you, and the run-and-gun tactics need talent like you."
Completely ignored, Robinson ran to the corner in a circle, and silently said, "Am I really a neglected character...... It would be better for me to disappear like this......"
Robinson wants to change teams and has already applied for it. Curry went to the Knicks, Dujon didn't go, in this case he had to leave, otherwise he would be a marginal bench. But the managers of other teams are not fools, knowing that the No. 1 spot of the Dow Knicks is saturated and needs to be traded, so sitting on the ground and starting the price will not make them cheap, and Robinson's situation is even worse than Green's.
Zhou Xuan had a heads-up with the two, Green had great physical fitness, and he also had a clear advantage in height, and he scored three goals with a jump shot, which caused some trouble for Zhou Xuan. Robinson couldn't do anything about it, and only scored a goal on a jumper. And Zhou Xuan used his back body technique to shoot after turning in the low post, which made Robinson very unconvinced.
"Didn't you mean streetball? You use your height advantage to beat me for anything, do you have the ability to beat me? ”
"Well, when you misplace the center forward after the start of the new season, you can say the same thing, see if they listen to you or not." Zhou Xuan smiled slightly: "I can play streetball, but I will never think of myself as a streetball player, basketball is always the most suitable to use my own strengths to hit the opponent's weaknesses." If you have time to complain, you might as well think about how to make up for the shortcomings. ”
Robinson snorted, turned around and left, probably not listening to it at all, he was a stinky temper, and Zhou Xuan didn't want to talk nonsense with him.
When Robinson left, Zhou Xuan asked Green, "Are you interested in eating together, the four of us." ”
"Okay, I'm in for a treat." Green is embarrassed to let the Warriors treat the new core, after all, he has a request.
Zhou Xuan waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, I'll take you to a place, I'm familiar with the boss, I'll invite you." ”
He is a rich man, everyone else is poor, let it a few times, and Green will no longer be polite, otherwise it will seem a bit hypocritical.
The four of them went to North City together, Jordan Jr. and Maya developed a habit with Zhou Xuan, and Jordan Jr. both looked forward to transferring to the Warriors, and it was better to have a good boss and drink spicy food than to be a marginal person in the bottom team of the Clippers.
After ordering the food, the four of them found a quiet room to eat and chat. Green has been very unhappy since he left the Celtics, and now he can only fight for the base salary, and he has no shelf.
Zhou Xuan asked, "Has a team invited you recently?" ”
"I won't say nothing, no, I came to you this time to ask the Warriors if there is a need for swing people, I believe I can play a fast-paced game. If it doesn't work this time, I'll consider going to the Europa League. ”
Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "I believe very much in your personal ability, you can shoot with good quality, as long as you don't play randomly, the Warriors must have your position, but I'm afraid you can't attack with the ball, that job is Ellis's." ”
"I know it."
"I'll call my manager and ask, and the inside information can still be revealed to me."
Zhou Xuan called, Mullin didn't hide it, Morrow is decided, although 10 million in three years is not high, but considering his defense, as well as Azubuke and Ellis, there will not be a lot of playing time, so there is no need to stay. The team would rather want to find a base-salary substitute to take his place.
As soon as Zhou Xuan mentioned Green, Mullin immediately felt that it was a good fit and was willing to talk to his agent. Green saw that Zhou Xuan was doing things neatly, and his heart was settled. As long as he can play in the NBA, he will never want to go to Europe, even if it is just to get a million or less, it doesn't matter, once he plays good statistics in the run-and-gun system, his next contract will definitely be settled. Moreau is a good example, and before the start of last season, people thought he was just a passerby.
"As long as this thing is done, I will listen to you in the team."
"Hehe, you're welcome." Zhou Xuan knew that other teams had gangs and factions, and Green was older than him, and what he was willing to listen to was to show his determination. "I'm going to go to Europe next month to play streetball practice, I wonder if you're interested?"
Green thought about it for a while, he had also played street ball, and he was average with the ball, with Zhou Xuan here, it was estimated that he would just wait to catch the ball and perform a dunk. Playing 3v3 is just the right way to cultivate feelings, and the chances of going to the warriors are greatly increased.
"Okay, I'll go, in order to play well in the NBA, I also want to train, I heard that the three of you train together, can I join?"
"Of course, you are very welcome." Zhou Xuan nodded in agreement.
In this way, the streetball 5-person group was decided. Weaver, for his part, has also decided to go to Europe. After eating, Zhou Xuan called Mitchell and asked him to help contact Weaver and ask him what he meant.
Weaver was ignored by the Rockets, he was in a bad mood, he was working hard for three points during this time, and he summed it up with Mitchell, he is not a fool, Zhilu Dao trained with Zhou Xuan, went to play streetball, and was easy to be on the news, and people would think of him. If a person is famous, his job must be settled. He also wants to stay in the NBA than in Europe, and it would be better if it was the Warriors. However, the salary that Weaver expects is not the base salary, so it is a little difficult.
After the phone call, Weaver also rushed to Los Angeles to train with Zhou Xuan. There is one more singles opponent, Zhou Xuan can still win, and Weaver is a person who breaks through with speed, and his heads-up ability is average.
Zhou Xuan didn't hide it privately, and told everyone some of his defensive experience, and it depends on the individual whether they can improve.
On this day, Green and Weaver dunked, changed hands under the crotch, and turned 360 degrees to them as children, looking like they could fly, and Jordan Jr. was also a violent dunk, but he was too tall to make too strong a trick. Empty joints are a piece of cake, all kinds of splits. Even Maya can dunk with one hand.
Zhou Xuan asked for advice on how to practice jumping, and Green gave him a go. Originally, he didn't practice bounce, but when he asked, he realized that the dunk king did not appear out of thin air. Green has been exercising since middle school, and the method is almost like a set of cheats for light work.
Green said that the middle school coach taught that the vertical jump ability can be improved by more than 20 to 30 centimeters, and the exercise process is very hard, and to see obvious results, it will take at least 15 weeks, that is, about four months.
For each movement item, one movement should be done in 3 sets, and the rest between groups should not exceed 2 minutes, and if it is completed, you need to do the next project directly!
The first is the half-squat jump. At the beginning, squat half-way to a 1/4 position, place your hands in front of you, and jump at least 25 cm to 30 cm off the ground. When in the air, keep your hands behind your back. When you land, finish it once.
The second item is to raise your toes. First, find a step or a book to put on your feet, and then only put your toes on top of it, and your heels must not touch the ground or pad. After that, lift your toes to the highest point and slowly lower them again to complete it again. Completed with both feet, counted as a complete set.
The third is jumping steps. You can also find a chair and put one foot on it at 90 degrees. Jump away as best you can, switch feet in the air, and put them on the chair. Repeat twice, put the original jump foot back on the chair to complete the other jump group.
The fourth is the vertical jump, with your feet straight and shoulder-width apart, "locking" your knees. Use only your calves to jump, bending only your hips and trying not to bend your knees. When you reach the ground, take off quickly again and complete it again. This one is difficult, and you can use your hands to help you jump.
The fifth is the tiptoe jump. Lift your toes to the highest point and jump quickly on your toes, no more than 1 when jumping. 5 or 2. 5cm。 This is how to dance ballet. Zhou Xuan thought about it, and the dancer seemed to have a very good bounce power.
The sixth is the squat jump. This is the most difficult, just practice once a week, otherwise your calves will definitely be sore, which will affect the next training. Start by standing with a basketball in front of your chest. Then squat half-way, look ahead, keep your back straight, lift your toes, and keep your thighs at 90 degrees. Jump up to 8-13cm, be sure to hold the position, land on the ground, and get it done. Jump 15 times, 1-14 need to jump 8-13cm, 15 times, you need to do your best to jump high.
It sounds very simple to do all three sets, but Zhou Xuan tried it once and found that this thing is like an abdominal exercise, which looks easier than doing it, and consumes more physical strength than going to the gym.
Zhou Xuan has always been dissatisfied with his bounce power, if he adds 20 centimeters, he should be able to dunk with both hands easily, in order not to be called floor flow all the time, he added this item to his training.
