Chapter 4: Liu Han's Talent

At the home of college basketball coach Li Rui, Zhou Yibin and Li Rui's gaze at the same time made Liu Han a little nervous, he didn't know what the good-looking "elder" sitting next to him was doing, but Li Rui's slightly curious and wise gaze was something he had never felt when he was so big. Grandma's eyes are always full of love and expectations for him, and Zhou Yibin's eyes are full of encouragement and envy, this is probably another talent of Liu Han in addition to muscle memory, he can always feel from the eyes of others who is good to him and who is not good to him.

"Come on, have some watermelon, seriously, it's a lot hotter in the summer here than in Los Angeles. Also, dear Xiaobin, can you introduce me to this handsome young man next to you? "Nasha, who has received an American-style education since she was a child, seems to be very atmospheric.

Nasha's dazzling long golden hair and delicate face shocked Liu Han, who had never seen a foreigner before, once again, because there were still people in this world whose hair was not black or white.

"Oh, auntie, this is a friend I met during the holidays, his name is Liu Han. Liu Han, this is Uncle Li's lover, just call her aunt. Zhou Yibin's words were a little cunning.

"Hi, hello, handsome Liu Han, but don't listen to Xiaobin, his two titles make me look very old, you can just call me Nasha by my name." Nasha stretched out her hand to Liu Han.

Liu Han wiped his hands vigorously on both sides of his thighs, then gently shook Nasha's hand, and then said in a voice that probably only he could hear, "Nasha...... Auntie, you ...... Good. Liu Han felt that his face was probably hot and red, and he didn't hear the little cunning in Zhou Yibin's words at all.

"Hah, shy fellow." Nasha seemed to be comfortable with this common behavior among young people in the East, and she couldn't remember how many faces had turned red when they came into contact with her.

"Haha, auntie, you probably should know that this is probably the first time Liu Han has seen a foreigner." Zhou Yibin's words made Liu Han a little relaxed.

"Uncle, you probably won't believe what I'm going to say next, but it's definitely true, Liu Han plays basketball very well, and it can even be said that he is better than me."

"Oh, is that so? So he's been practicing since he was a kid like you? Zhou Yibin's words made Li Rui a little strange, he knew Zhou Yibin's basketball level, if it wasn't for an accident, with Zhou Yibin's current level, there would be no problem in entering the provincial team.

"No, he probably never touched basketball before I met him, I only taught him for about a month, and I only had about two hours a day." Zhou Yibin's words are difficult for Li Rui to fully believe, because he is also engaged in basketball, and he knows that it is impossible for a person without any basketball foundation to train beyond Zhou Yibin in a month.

"Uncle, I know you don't believe it, why don't we go to the stadium and practice for a while."

"Nasha, I think we have to postpone lunch a little bit, would you like to go for a walk in the stadium with me and see what a genius is?"

On the court, Zhou Yibin was conducting simple shooting training with Liu Han, on the side of the court, Li Rui and his blonde wife Nasha were stunned by Liu Han's almost 100% shooting rate, which has been shooting for more than half an hour, Liu Han only missed one ball, Li Rui was thinking, if this is really as Zhou Yibin said to reach this level after only one month of practice, there is no doubt that Liu Han is a genius, no, it should be a genius among geniuses.

"Isn't it a perfect shot, and the bounce looks good, so I think it would be better if I gave him a pair of regular basketball shoes." Nasha is also a person who likes basketball very much, otherwise she would not like the tall Li Rui.

"Honey, did you notice that the arc of the ball he threw was almost the same every time, which is rare. I can't imagine what he would have been able to achieve if he had been training since he was a child. Liu Han's shooting performance completely shocked Li Rui.

"Okay, Xiaobin, and Liu Han, stop for a while, you guys will do the next training, Xiaobin you have to interfere with him when Liu Han shoots, we can test his shooting ability when someone is defending in front of him."

"Well, okay, uncle, but I haven't taught him this yet, so why don't you instruct him first."

"Come on, Liu Han, come over first and I'll tell you, wait a minute, I'll let Xiaobin interfere with your shooting, you have to shoot more resolutely in the face of defenders, appropriately speed up your shots, and appropriately increase your shooting arc, understand?" Li Rui gave Liu Han a brief explanation.

"Uncle Li, what is this arc?" Liu Han obviously failed to understand Li Rui's simple explanation......

"Uh, okay, come on, Xiaobin, let the two of us show Liu Han first." Li Rui decided to go into battle in person, and it is always better to demonstrate with actions than to describe with words.

Li Rui held the ball to attack, Zhou Yibin defended frontally, Li Rui took the ball to make a three-threat action, and then suddenly jumped, his body leaned back slightly, the basketball was shot when the body was still on the rise, the basketball arc was very high, the rotation was very fast, and it was completely thrown by the strength of the wrist. Zhou Yibin quickly approached Li Rui's body at the same time as Li Rui jumped, and blocked Li Rui's eyes with his palm, because of the previous accident, Zhou Yibin had no way to jump completely quickly, so he could only defend in this way. Although Li Rui has been retired for many years, the training he began since he was a child still has basketball memories in his bones, plus he has always been engaged in basketball, so he has maintained a good state, and the basketball thrown out of the net is hollow.

"Liu Han, do you understand? It's about finding a way to keep the defender from touching the ball you throw when someone is defending. ”

"Well, I see, I want to try." Liu Han, who grew up in discrimination, felt a different sense of accomplishment through basketball, and he wanted to practice basketball very much.

Liu Han recalled Li Rui's actions slightly in his mind, and then faced Zhou Yibin's defense, took the ball and made three threat movements, jumped, and shot, but Zhou Yibin successfully cut off the basketball when he jumped.

"Come, Liu Han, you see, you didn't pay attention to protecting the basketball when you took off just now, so it was easy for the opponent to touch the basketball and interfere with your shooting, so you should quickly pick up the ball when you shoot and jump, and you can lean back appropriately, so that it is easier to avoid the defense." Liu Han didn't see Li Rui's disappointed eyes, but went further and patiently explained.

In the next ten shots, Liu Han did not succeed, either the shooting speed was too slow, or he did not avoid Zhou Yibin's defense, but Li Rui always patiently explained every move of Liu Han and demonstrated it several times.

For the eleventh shot, Liu Han found the feeling, his body leaned back enough, his wrist was pressed very solidly, and the shooting speed was quite fast, and he threw the basketball before Zhou Yibin's defense was pasted, and the basketball crossed a beautiful arc hollow into the net.

"Beautiful, nice, a few more times." Li Rui also praised him in a timely manner.

The next training once again became Liu Han's shooting performance, and his every shot was almost perfect to avoid Zhou Yibin's defensive shots. His anti-heaven performance completely ignited the blood that Li Rui had suppressed in his heart.

Nasha on the sidelines was also shocked, she had never seen a player who could perform the shooting so perfectly, watching Liu Han shoot was almost a beautiful enjoyment, and every time the basketball brushed the net, the sound was like a soul-cleansing sound, which made people can't help but get goosebumps.

More than an hour passed in a hurry, and Li Rui was so shocked that he was numb. He interrupted Liu Han who was in the shooting state at the right time.

"Haven't you played basketball before? Did you go to middle school? Li Rui wanted to find out what life was like for such a genius before.

"No, uh...... I used to herd sheep at home, and I didn't go to secondary school, only primary school. "An hour of training does not consume too much of Liu Han's physical strength, and for Liu Han, who has been doing manual labor since he was a child, this amount of exercise basically can't make him sweat.

"What about your parents? Who did you come here with? Li Rui has already put his mind on the genius Liu Han, and he doesn't want to see such an outstanding seedling wasted.

"My grandmother passed away, and I haven't seen my parents since I was a child, but I only know that my dad was shot (shot), and my mom doesn't know where! I came here with my third dad to earn money. Liu Han, who said this, was a little disappointed, for him his parents were a concept, only the death of his grandmother made him sad.

"Do you still want to play every day in the future? Or do you want to make money? ”

"I ...... I think, I want to play every day, but my third father asked me to make money, Zhou Yibin didn't say that I can make money by playing. Liu Han felt the concern and expectation in Li Rui's eyes.

"Then why do you want to play every day, and are you happy when you play?" Li Rui eagerly wanted to know Liu Han's inner thoughts.

"I don't know why, I used to feel happy when I herded sheep, and I was happy to be able to eat the artichoke made by my grandmother, but now I am happy when I touch the basketball, and I don't know why!" Liu Han, who let go of his mood, said the truth.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, oops, it's almost twelve o'clock, let's go home for dinner, eat first, and then let's talk about your game after eating." Li Rui's mood is as refreshing as eating hot pot in winter and drinking cold drinks in summer.

"Rui, I bought you a cold soda, come and drink it." Nasha on the sidelines didn't know when she had bought a cold drink, and she could feel the joy in her husband's heart now.

"Thanks, Aunt Nasha, hehe." Zhou Yibin once again stimulated Nasha's sense of age.

"Xiaobin, next time I hope you remove the last two words. And, my dear, there is no meat left at home, the braised pork you made at noon now does not even have the basic ingredients, and, I must say, your children are now very hungry. ”

"Oops, I almost forgot, Nasha, you take Xiaobin and Liu Han home first, and I'll go buy meat right away."

"Rui, Xiaobin and Liu Han are here today, and I am also very happy, I can allow you to drink a little wine. Hey! Her husband's good mood was contagious.

"Yes, ma'am. Haha" Li Rui also let go of his mood and started joking with his wife. At this time, Liu Han was still competing with the bottle of soda, he had never drunk such a delicious thing, it was very sweet......
