Chapter 342 [Ways to Increase Popularity]
Although American street basketball also has rules, it is impossible to take four or five steps to make a layup, but it is relatively loose in turning the wrist and dribbling the ball over the shoulder. If you follow the NBA's standard of dribbling, you can't play beautifully. Alston is also decent in the NBA.
Alston, the former "street ball king" of New York, said that he does not advocate this illegal way of dribbling, all his own dribbling is in line with the rules of basketball, but from the new generation of street ball king "hot sauce", more and more illegal dribbling is accepted by people because of excellent ornamentation, although these whimsical actions are in line with the street spirit, but the disadvantages are also obvious, often seen in the game: 9 people on the court stand still, only the person who holds the ball is self-absorbed playing, Such a person can't play in the NBA at all, and is only suitable for heads-up.
Because it has become a complete performance, the most fundamental competitiveness of basketball has been greatly weakened, and now many street players cannot compare their finishing ability with Alstom, and they put too much energy on these fancy moves, which is not to say that Freestyle is wrong, but it lacks proportion.
For example, the "bone collector" of the contemporary street ball player who is highly regarded by people, his dribbling skills are at the peak, and there are often some illegal dribbling, but he can grasp the proportions very well, just use those movements to make fun, and still keep the game in a traditional basketball competitive state. Many street golfers tend to throw the ball into the air after shaking their opponent down or after passing it clean, meaning that the game has been won, and they don't care if they have to throw the ball into the basket. "The Bone Collector" never does that, his credo is that only the final score counts, and he has a very strong finishing ability after dribbling moves.
So while street races provide a forgiving environment, there are still opinions on how to play the game.
If you want to skillfully dribble and pass people without turning your wrists, you need to be tempered, and it will be much easier to turn your wrists, Zhou Xuan just made a stroke in his mind, and made the movements smoothly.
Shelby wanted to repeat his old trick on the second ball, and turned his wrist with the ball, but was blocked by Zhou Xuan's leg, he turned around with his back to protect the ball, and gave up a position, just when he wanted to use a layup to announce his victory in this round, Zhou Xuan reached out from the side and poked the ball out.
Knowing that the opponent wanted to pass to the basket, Zhou Xuan didn't shoot two steps in the perimeter defense, so he only counted the step points, relying on the height advantage to prevent the ball, if he couldn't stab the basketball, he could also block it.
When receiving the ball on the outside, Zhou Xuan thought about the plan again. After he dribbled the ball under his crotch continuously, his left hand changed direction and handed over to his right hand to enter the three-point line, and when Shelby was close, he pulled the ball up and pretended to turn to the middle, as soon as Shelby moved, Zhou Xuan pulled the ball back, turned around to the bottom line, and jumped up to the basketball.
According to the rules of the NBA, this ball must be a "two-belt" violation, but it is a good ball on the street court, and the violation is not particularly excessive.
Shelby started to fake again, Zhou Xuan didn't reach out to steal, he followed from the side, and when Shelby took the ball and turned to make a layup, he activated the close-fitting, and a big hat fanned the ball away.
In the next round, Shelby also didn't shoot against the break, put two steps away, Zhou Xuan took a walk, scored a three-point shot in the front, and shook his head after the goal. If you don't shoot this kind of ball to the basket, it's not a skill, it's stupidity, and he really can't force himself to do such a stupid thing.
Then Zhou Xuan practiced defense again, if he could prevent a lot of street ball players, who could beat him in the NBA?
"He actually flipped his wrist too? It's going to be a bad habit, what about going back to the NBA? "Maya? Moore asked, standing next to Mitchell after the fight.
"Alston entered the NBA, and he hasn't been blown a few wrist flip violations, he won't get used to it." Mitchell laughed.
Maya asked, "You're his agent, right?" ”
"Well, what's the matter?"
"Is he really coming back tomorrow? I still want to challenge him again, can I leave your phone number? ”
"I think he'll say yes, when he's done." This kind of thing, Mitchell is not good for Zhou Xuan to call the shots.
The game on the court was over, and Zhou Xuan covered the opponent with another hat, and he scored consecutive goals by jumping in a hurry. He didn't flip his wrist again, he relied on his body to eat. In the NBA, he rarely has that opportunity. The fans did not boo, and Zhou Xuan had already proven that he could also play with flowers in the first two balls.
Zhou Xuan continued to play without resting, and the third one on the court was a guy who was close to two meters tall, the taller he was, the more difficult it was to make movements, this person was not good at shooting, Zhou Xuan couldn't get close to the basket, and he lost without scoring a goal.
The last two people still couldn't break through Zhou Xuan's defense, and the audience applauded more. Zhou Xuan's jump shot and breakthrough combination is very good, although it is not very fancy, but it can score. People can't help but start to speculate if celebrities such as "Bone Collector" and "Hot Sauce" come, will they be able to get by?
After playing for half an hour, some fans chatted and said: "The defensive lineup of the regular season last season was chosen by the wrong person." Rondo and Paul certainly don't get to that point defensively. ”
"I don't think anyone in Rock Park can beat him alone, and Alston was defended by him in the finals, and the only high-scoring game was all the blocking and dislocation."
"There is still a gap between the street ball king and the NBA All-Star."
Zhou Xuan only thought that the people here were too weak, but he didn't know that he had seen Payton, and after getting those experiences, his defense had improved again, he had defended very well in the regular season, and he knew that the method had changed slightly, and he had gone up to a new level, mainly from judging the shoulders to judging the hips, and maintaining a sense of distance. As long as the sense of distance is correct and no defenders are conceded, streetball is the same as in the NBA. No matter how beautiful the action is, at the end of the day, someone has to put the ball in the basket. Technique is just a trick, speed and explosiveness are the key, and ordinary people can't get past Zhou Xuan. Accustomed to Ellis's speed, Zhou Xuan didn't think it was fast to anyone.
Zhou Xuan also remembered the battle of Huashan's sword qi in the martial arts novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu". The NBA draft looks at the physical fitness of the players, and most of the newcomers are the best in high school and college. Some people play team basketball, they must cooperate, they can't hold the ball for too long, and they can't show their individual abilities at will. It's like the routine of Huashan Qi Sect, accumulating thick and thin. And streetball is like a sword sect, winning with moves, and the physical fitness is average.
When you meet someone who has speed and is good at defense, don't eat these feints, in the final analysis, it still depends on physical fitness. Zhou Xuan is only afraid of one kind of player now, that is, people with height and strength who eat hard, and such people rarely play street ball. Anyone who plays streetball, even the fat "Cloud Ladder" Jackson relies on skills and will not use his back to attack.
Originally, there were dozens of people who wanted to fight Zhou Xuan, and many people gave up trying. Those who have the strength have tried, and the one who is in the best form has scored three goals.
Zhou Xuan consumed a lot of physical strength, so he left the game.
Maya and Mitchell are still standing together, looking at Zhou Xuan's eyes are completely different, his high-intensity defense is not accidental, this level of defense Maya has never experienced.
The audience applauded, no matter how he played, Zhou Xuan's winning record could not be done by ordinary people, and his Chinese identity also made people interested, and no Chinese had ever dominated Rock Park.
A reporter stepped forward to interview and asked Zhou Xuan to talk about his feelings.
Zhou Xuan said: "I will come again tomorrow, this time the purpose is to practice heads-up skills, and secondly, to practice defense, people who like singles will come to Rock Park to find me." ”
"Will you compete in the team competition?"
"Yes, but not here. I want to go to the European 3v3 Streetball Tournament in August, and I will meet the elites of other countries. As for 5v5, I can't play, the Warriors are already the best team, if it's a temporary team, it may be very rusty to work with, it's not very pleasant. ”
Zhou Xuan said everything out of the air, and he didn't want to keep the itinerary secret. As long as it is reported in the newspaper, it is easier to find suitable teammates to compete with, and Jordan Jr. may not be willing to go. Weaver's side hasn't been determined yet. And he wants to build momentum for himself to play a streetball tournament, and if people in Europe know about it, maybe his fan base will increase.
After the interview, Zhou Xuan prepared to go back to the hotel with Mitchell. See Maya? Moore, he smiled and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
"I want to fight you a few more times, it will improve my strength, is that okay? Not in Rock Park...... "Maya rarely showed a little female shyness. After all, the other party is an NBA star, and this request is a bit excessive. She's a student and can't afford a great sparring partner, so she's coming to Rock Park just to find a free opponent.
"Yes, tomorrow my friend will be here, and we can practice together if you want. When you fought with me, I didn't keep my hand, to be honest, you are terrible strong, and there is no violation of the technique used, I don't think you are worse than the men here. ”
Zhou Xuan was also very interested in this girl. Maya is said to be true? Moore was introduced to basketball when she was 3 years old, and her mother loaded Moore with a basket at the back door of her apartment, and it was from this basket that Maya's basketball career began. In 2003, just over, 14-year-old Maya won her first championship trophy, the Youth Amateur Basketball League Cup; In December 2005, 16-year-old Maya, who was just in her third year of high school, completed her first dunk. She is likely to become a legend in women's basketball in the future.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, leave a phone number, we'll call you." Zhou Xuan smiled.
After noting down the phone, Zhou Xuan and Mitchell went back to the hotel. Mitchell said: "This Maya is really powerful, but after all, she is a woman, why do you want to practice with her?" ”
"Because she's a woman, and she's very powerful. I want to ask, can European 3V3 be mixed and matched? If we have a woman on the team, will this make headlines? ”
Zhou Xuan has a good fan base in the United States and Asia, and his popularity in Europe needs to be improved. Mitchell smiled: "Yes, although the rules don't prohibit it, but no woman has ever played an official match with a man, your idea is great!" ”
