Chapter 5: Fierce Battle

Glenn. Sampson was born in Oak Long, a suburb southwest of Chicago, the daughter of Glenn when her mother, Jenny, gave birth to Glenn at the age of seventeen. Not even knowing who Glenn's father was, a situation that was common in poor black ghettos in the United States.

At the age of ten, Glenn showed exceptional basketball talent. By chance, the varsity coach of Timothy Private High School, Chris Brown. Boeli phase. In order to bring Sampson under his command, Coach Boeli found a job for Sampson's mother Sunny near the school, and even lived in a place that Mr. Boewrie's friend rented to the mother and son at an extremely low price.

The hardships of his youth have made Glenn cherish his current life. He hopes that through his own efforts, he will be able to better give back to the people who have helped him in the future. For example, Coach Boli's family.

Due to the family's financial constraints, he did not participate in various basketball camps on vacation like other talented children, because each camp was too luxurious for him. Thankfully, every year during this frustrating time, Mr. Snyder's team can continue to train.

Sampson, the team's number one star, has rarely found excitement in training. However, the opponent he met today was able to score on his head in the first round.

Sampson dribbled through the half, and his teammates pulled away, consciously creating space for the team's boss to attack. Sampson made a couple of tentative feints outside the three-point line and found that Sun Yi was standing firmly. Although I worked shooting all over the holiday, I didn't have much control at this distance. Looking at the other party's somewhat thin body, he directly used his speed to forcibly break through.

Sun Yi had already sensed his opponent's intentions and tried to block the opponent's offensive line. Before the position could stand, Sampson broke through the defense like a bolt of lightning. Fortunately, Sun Yi's speed was also very fast, and he caught up with the opponent in one step inside the free throw line.

must stick to him and slow down the other party's speed, Sun Yi made a decision in an instant. As soon as I got close to my opponent, I only felt a pain in my chest. A huge force struck, and his steps became staggering. Looking at the opponent who was getting farther and farther away, he secretly marveled. Is this guy a brute, why does he play like a tank?

Facing an unguarded basket, Sampson completed the offense with an easy dunk. Obviously, Sun Yi's teammates are not surprised by such an ending. Everyone didn't blame Sun Yi at all, and they didn't even have a chance to be hit.

The small point guard Kevin dribbled the ball past half court, motioned for everyone to pull away, and passed the ball to Sun Yi again. Looking at the expressionless Sampson, Sun Yi's heart ignited a surging battle intent.

Hold the ball and take a step outside the three-point line, and this time Sampson is closer. If it weren't for Sun Yi's speed, it would be estimated that he would have defended it directly.

Sun Yi, who was in a twelve-point spirit, made a breakthrough to the right. Taking advantage of the opponent's adjustment position, he suddenly changed hands under his crotch sharply, holding the ball in his left hand while stepping forward with his left foot, ready to break through.

Sampson was a little embarrassed by this sudden change of direction. But the perverted physicality allowed him to quickly return to his defensive position. The body exerts its strength again, and once it sticks to Sun Yi, the disparity in strength will definitely be able to end the opponent's attack.

said that it was too late, and the ball that Sampson, who was about to stick to Sun Yi, had been staring at in his eyes suddenly disappeared. I only felt a cold wind pass under my crotch, and then the opponent turned deftly to avoid his close defense, caught the ball that bounced from his crotch, and went straight to the basket.

A burst of exclamations came from the mouths of the players on the field. Even Snyder ignored the whistle in his mouth and opened his mouth in surprise.

It turned out that Sun Yi had long expected that he would be the first to change direction and would not be able to break through the opponent's defense. Then he raised his left foot to make the opponent sure of the direction of his breakthrough, and Sun Yi, who had been paying attention to Sampson's pace, directly hit the ball from the opponent's crotch that had become more spacious due to acceleration. The whole pass was full of imagination and left everyone stunned.

Sun Yi, who successfully broke through the defense, was also satisfied with his improvisation. Facing an empty basket, prepare to return the favor with a dashing dunk. Jump, take off...... "Oh no!" Be careful! The small point guard behind him shouted loudly, only to see a figure behind Sun Yi, who was about to dunk under the basket, quickly approaching, it was the Sampson who was almost shaken, this is still not a person, it can still catch up after being like that, the teammates on the court are amazed at the physical fitness of this goods, and they are worried about Sun Yi.

At this time, Sun Yi had already discovered the threat behind him, but it was too late, and the whole person was already in the air and could not make more changes. When the ball in Sun Yi's hand reached the basket, Sampson's big hand was already waiting on the basket.

Hmph, now look at where your kid is running, he was so embarrassed just now, and now he has to get back face no matter what, Sampson hated in the air.

In this situation where there is no way out for the pursuers, Sun Yi gritted his teeth, and his waist once again exerted force to keep his body in the air for an extra 0.1 seconds, and his right hand was replaced by his left hand When the body lost its center of gravity, he picked up the basket with his left hand, staring at the basketball bouncing on the basket frame, and finally rolled into the net.

He was about to smash to the ground when a strong hand pulled him. Sampson in the air did not wait for the block, but waited for Sun Yi's determination to throw the ball at the risk of injury.

This persistent spirit made him awe and a little sympathetic, "Hey, are you okay?" Sun Yi smiled gratefully at Sampson, "Thank you, it's okay!" If it weren't for Sampson pulling him, Sun Yi, who had lost his center of gravity just now, would probably be injured.

"Toot!" Foul. Coach Snyder's whistle seemed a little late. Such a wonderful attack and defense made him a loyal audience for the two.

Sun Wenyuan's expression ranged from the ecstasy of his son's wonderful breakthrough to the panic of losing his center of gravity in the air. Finally, after seeing Sun Yi land safely, he grew a mouthful of turbidity in his chest.

After Sun Yi hit a free throw, the two sides continued to play. Sampson, who was aroused, once again used his body to squeeze Sun Yi away and scored easily under the basket. After that, the two sides went back and forth. But the protagonists on the field are destined to be two geniuses who are beyond the reach of other teammates.

As the game progressed, Sun Yi spent a lot of physical energy in the confrontation with Sampson. In the third quarter, he was panting on the court, and his steps were no longer as brisk as they were at the beginning. It's hard to get the ball to the opposition's basket anymore, but he cleverly uses his teammates' cover to keep killing opponents from the outside.

Sampson, on the other hand, is like a tireless machine, bursting into the interior again and again to wreak havoc on the basket. The final score was 52:46, and Sampson scored 36 points to lead the team to defeat the opponent. Sun Yi was not to be outdone, scoring 30 points.

After all, it's just an internal training match, and as soon as the game is over. The children on the field unconsciously gathered around Sun Yi and asked all kinds of questions, "How tall is Yao Ming?" "Where did Bruce Lee learn kung fu in China?" ……

"Mr. Sun, your son is better than I thought." Snyder shrugged. Sun Wenyuan looked at his son, who was surrounded by his teammates not far away, "His dream is to become a good basketball player and then fight for the country." ”

After Sun Yi became a member of the Red Eagles, another month passed. Except for the team's training three times a week, Sun Yi basically spends the rest of the time on the basketball court in his backyard. The most gratifying thing is that Sun Yi's spoken language has improved by leaps and bounds. He is already proficient in basic communication with others, and even brings a local accent.

Sun Yi on the court has gradually adapted to a faster pace and stronger against American basketball. What's even more rare is that he has a good opponent - Glenn. Sampson. The competitive spirit of the two teenagers made the progress of the two more obvious.

Sun Yi is even more adept at using his body in the confrontation with Glenn. Although the difference in strength is still obvious, it has made it impossible for the other party to do whatever they want as before. And Green's mid-to-long-range shooting ability has to speed up with the improvement of Sun Yi's defensive ability. Otherwise, the confrontation between the two is really between the two.

Snyder looked at his wife, who was ironing his clothes, with a happy look on his face. This woman who accompanied her through the darkest moments, after becoming her wife, is a tacit partner at work and her intimate lover in life.

"Susan, there's something I want to talk to you about." Seeing her husband's solemn face, Susan put down the work she was doing. Snyder sat next to him and held her husband's hand affectionately. "What's wrong? My dear. ”

Snyder also shook his wife's hand and said, "You know, the new Chinese boy on my team. Susan nodded, indicating that she understood. Snyder would often tell his wife about things on the team.

"I was amazed at the potential he showed." He shook his wife's hand vigorously, indicating that he was very sure of what he was saying. Looking at his wife's encouraging eyes, he continued: "He has an incredible shooting touch, I really don't know who can teach such a touch, maybe it's talent. ”

Snyder pursed his somewhat dry lips again, "He never retreats in the face of tough opponents, but becomes more and more courageous. Susan was surprised to hear her husband's statement. Because she knew her husband, he was a man who rarely praised others, let alone the level of praise he had today.

"His shortcomings are stamina and strength, and it's okay to say that his stamina is almost there, but the lack of strength will make him more vulnerable to injury in fierce confrontations." Speaking of which, it obviously touched the scene that Snyder did not want to look back.

Susan raised her hand, stroked her husband's slightly twisted cheek, and said, "I know, you won't let it happen." Snyder shook his head, pushing the negative emotions out of his mind. He looked at his wife and said, "Yes, not only for that genius. Also for us. ”

Snyder switched to sports medicine due to his college injury experience, as mentioned earlier. After his own painstaking research, he sorted out a set of theories about exercise, maintenance, and diet. I hope that one day, through the practice of this theory, we will witness the birth of a great player. At the same time, it can also bring material gains to him and his wife.

Snyder was convinced that Sun Yi was the genius he had been waiting for.
