Entering August in a daze, Zhou Xuan still did not receive good news, so he could only use the movie "Iron Armor Dragon" to encourage himself. Robocop is the first tragic superhero in the history of American cinema. He was only in elementary school when he watched it, and the footage of the poor police officer being shot indiscriminately by the bandits and splashing blood is still vivid. From then on, he understood that the heavens would descend on the people, and they must first work their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and beat them into honeycombs, so that they can become ironclad dragons, people block and kill, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha...... Compared with Officer Murphy, he didn't play well in the summer league, so what does it mean to join the NBA a few days late?

The Beijing Olympics opened smoothly, giving the largest opening ceremony in history, and as a Chinese, Zhou Xuan is also very proud.

The Chinese men's basketball team lost to a group of NBA big-name dream teams such as Kobe, James, and Anthony in the first game without any suspense.

In the second game against world champion Spain, the Chinese team played a good game, and in the fourth quarter they also led Spain by as many as 14 points. Point guard Liu Weiwei was mighty, facing Spain's main guard Calderón and hope star Rubio, played 34 minutes, scored 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting, including 4-of-7 three-pointers. Calderon scored two points on 1-of-6 shooting in 23 minutes and Rubio scored one point on 0-of-4 shooting in 21 minutes. It's a pity that this game, which is enough to write into the history of the men's basketball team, fell short at the least.

The main reason for the loss was that the Chinese team's substitute defender Chen Jianghua carried the ball too much and made too many mistakes, and was cut off by the opponent several times because he did not see the random pass of the person clearly. Another is that the head coach Younas did not have a reasonable allocation of players' playing time in the fourth quarter, Wang Zhizhi has been playing well in the fourth quarter, with a good hand and better than Yao Ming in terms of physical strength.

In 2004, an American media outlet claimed that China had found a young defender who could pass the ball to Yao Ming in 2008, and that his potential was limitless. China's defenders have been criticized, and everyone has begun to pay attention to this young man named Chen Jianghua. He was trained and completed the triple jump from the youth team to the Guangdong Hongyuan first team and then to the national team. But it turns out that he is too tender and will only rely on speed to break through, and will not pass the ball at all. He can score great goals, but he can't provide simple assists.

Also 19 years old, Zhou Xuan firmly believes that his level is higher than Chen Jianghua, but he can only sit at home and watch TV, and his heart is uncomfortable when he thinks about it. If he is included in the national team, he may win the game against Spain.

Next, it was difficult for China to qualify from the group, and Zhou Xuan was too lazy to watch it, so he decided to try his skills in the Drew League and signed up for the LAUNFD team.

The LAUNFD team had a poor record with 2 wins and 6 losses. Today, it has attracted a lot of audiences because of the "male color".

Although Zhou Xuan did not officially join the NBA, the scenery in the draft made him a celebrity in Los Angeles. When he appeared, the host also gave a special introduction to him, and many Chinese audiences led by Wang Meng also came to cheer him, enlivening the atmosphere in the stadium.

In addition to Zhou Xuan, there was also a popular handsome blonde guy who participated in the competition, and received super high applause, at a glance, he looked a bit like Torres, the Spanish golden boy who played football, but there were not so many freckles on his face.

The handsome guy took the initiative to greet Zhou Xuan, shook his hand in a friendly manner, and said lightly: "Hey, I'm Taiwo." Duke. Moretz, nice to meet you. I know you're a point guard and you're in the NBA, can you pass me a few more balls in a while? ”

"Your girlfriend needs to behave down there?"

"No, it's my little sister, she likes basketball, and she came to cheer me on today. I didn't play well in two games, as long as I could play well today. With that, Tevo waved to the sidelines.

Zhou Xuan saw a blonde Lori sitting in the front row, very conspicuous, about ten years old, very energetic clenched his fists and shouted loudly to this side: "Taiwo, come on, get 30 points!" ”

"Are you a player playing in the NCAA?" Zhou Xuan asked with a smile. It feels like Taiwo should be about the same age as him, the age of college.

"No, I'm an actor, just graduated from New York Film and Television and came back to Los Angeles, and Ashley. Olsen has been an alumnus for half a year, and I am also a part-time bodyguard. Tevo explained.

"Bodyguards?"

"Protect our little sister with my other two brothers." Tevo laughed.

“……”

Zhou Xuan had a good impression of Taiwo, and his good impression increased greatly after hearing that he was an actor. However, it is difficult for a pure amateur player to score 30 points in this kind of league. The little girl on the sidelines was very cute, and helping her brother score had become Zhou Xuan's top priority for himself. "What are you good at, Tevo? Shooting, air cut, which position is more accurate? ”

"I shoot well, I can shoot well in a few positions in the frame, and I am the most accurate at the free throw line." Tevo replied.

"I know the way, pay attention to the run, as long as you are empty, the ball will definitely come to you." Zhou Xuan is confident that it should be easy to play this kind of game.

The opposite of Zhou Xuan is a black man, and he doesn't know what Lu Dao's name is, he is more than 1.8 meters tall. After the start of the game, Zhou Xuan did not find someone to block and dismantle, broke through after dribbling under his crotch, and just took a feint as soon as he poked his shoulder, and the defense was very amateurish. After the breakthrough, he led to the right and observed the situation with his peripheral vision. The opponent's MHP team formation is a joint defense, Zhou Xuan deliberately slowed down to attract people on the side to make up for the defense, and then distributed the ball to Taiwo, and there was a gap.

Tevo was well prepared, took the ball and shot, did not hesitate at all, and hit steadily. He also played basketball at New York University, practiced on the varsity team, and was good at shooting.

"Good vote."

"It's beautiful."

Zhou Xuan quickly returned to defense, this time he played five summer league games, and after being ravaged by a point guard, he found that it was too easy to defend a point guard, as long as he kept up with the pace, confrontation was not a problem at all. After a few steps, he grabbed an opening, reached out directly to break the ball, launched a fast attack across the half, and handed it to Taiwo again. Tevo scored on a layup near the free throw line.

Zhou Xuan originally wanted to pass a few balls to try, but if Taiwo couldn't shoot accurately, he would play it himself, but he didn't expect that Taiwo did have "two brushes".

This kind of game is playing, and Zhou Xuan's strength is far better than that of amateur players. He kept breaking through and assisting again and again. When the opponent tried to prevent a breakthrough but not a defensive shot, he immediately used two mid-range shots to dispel the opponent's thoughts. Tevo didn't do anything, just ran back and forth in a few of his more accurate positions, catching and shooting. He found that Zhou Xuan really did what he said, as long as he ran in place, the ball would be passed to his hand immediately.

The score was stretched to 24 points in the second half, and Zhou Xuan and Taiwo went off the court to rest together, and the other players went up. There is no coach in this kind of game, as long as anyone is tired, they can find someone to replace them. Zhou Xuan scored 10 points, dished out 15 assists, and had three steals, and he felt it was too easy to come down. No one passed the ball and Tevo went off the court, and he scored 22 points, the best performance of any time.

"You're awesome." Tevo smiled: "I haven't seen a point guard like you, I don't know what's going on, the ball is in my hands, the NBA level is really different." ”

"I haven't joined the NBA yet, can you introduce your sister?" Zhou Xuan looked at Lori beside him and smiled.

"Koloe. Grace. Moretz, nice to meet you. Lori introduced herself very generously.

"Zhou Xuan, you can call me Stephen." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

"I know you, a lot of people in school are talking about you because you were with Sister Olsen in the draft. Tevo was jealous of you, and he said that you actually brought the two of you with you, it was too beastly. Lori chuckled.

"Uh......"

Taiwo handed a bottle of water to Zhou Xuan, and hurriedly explained: "She's just joking, but you do make many people jealous." The Olsen sisters are childhood idols of our generation, are you really the ones who say in the news, they like to eat the food you cooked? ”

"yes. In fact, I still work as their chef occasionally. I threw a party for Northtown Restaurant and got to know them. The boss is over there, and he's coming to see me playing. ”

"It's okay to look at your image as an actor, you still have such high ball skills, how did you do it? Can I leave a phone call? Let's make friends. "Taiwo admires Zhou Xuan.

"Of course, you can find me when you're not playing." Zhou Xuan left the phone.

"Are you going to go up and fight later?" Lori asked.

"I don't want to play anymore, this kind of competition doesn't help me improve my game." Zhou Xuan sighed lightly: "It's a pity that I don't know what to do to improve Lu Dao now, and there are any obvious weaknesses that need to be improved." ”

"Maybe I know what your weaknesses are." It was Chloe who spoke. Moretz. Little Lori is serious, looking like a little adult, a little funny.

"I'm sorry, my sister is only 11 years old, how can she find fault with you." Tevo was a little embarrassed.

"No, I think she's cute, young age isn't a problem. There's a saying in China called 'bystander Qing', maybe she can help me if she likes basketball? Do you think there's anything I have to do with my play? Zhou Xuan asked humbly.

"Your body is too stiff, not flexible enough, and a little bit uncoordinated when you break through. That's not the case with Kobe Bryant, and Ginobili. Lori thought for a while and said lightly: "I've watched basketball for many years and practiced gymnastics, I think your body is not soft enough, too hard." ”

Too hard?! Zhou Xuan suddenly realized. Because of his lack of strength and poor confrontation ability, he always subconsciously wants to tighten his muscles in order to maintain balance in the alignment. Tight muscles can increase the amount of force, but it will also make the body stiffer, especially when breaking through, the upper limbs will unconsciously pause, and a little slower will affect the rhythm of the entire dribble, or even miss a breakthrough opportunity.

When he defends, he needs to fight, but when he attacks, even if he is almost weak? When the opponent touches him, he may blow a foul as soon as he falls. Ginobili has a poor confrontation and is often knocked around, but he is a master of making fouls. It doesn't matter if the offensive confrontation is poor, the flexibility must be good, so that it is faster to pass and not easy to get injured. Exercising flexibility is a viable path, and if he learns Ginobili's "serpentine break", it will definitely give his opponent a headache.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan became excited, and woke up the person in the dream with a word, and the person who reminded him was actually a child.
