Chapter 36: The Shock Brought by Liu Han
Liu Han was tired on the first day of the basketball summer camp jointly organized by Mr. Abdul-Jabbar and Mr. John Wooden, and the amount of training arranged by the physical trainer was beyond Liu Han's imagination.
The first is the jogging warm-up and a simple two-by-two stretching activity, after the physical activity is opened, there are ten groups of full-field rapid switchback, followed by ten groups of full-field frog jumping and turnback, before these young people have taken a breath, there are ten groups of sideways running and turnback, and then two pairs of pairs tie elastic ropes around the waist and pull each other for ten groups of rapid running, and finally two pairs of pairs of carrying each other's ten groups of weight-bearing runs, and after these are over, it is jogging relaxation and stretching. The whole afternoon was spent in such physical training, and the huge amount of training made these young people who were still in high spirits at the beginning lose their energy all at once.
Liu Han's physical condition is still a certain gap with others in terms of bounce and strength and some hard standards, but his physical strength is not bad, and he persevered under such a large amount of physical training, although he felt a little tired, but he still completed every arrangement of the physical trainer very seriously, although the coach has been swearing in his mouth during training, but there is no discriminatory language, more to motivate and stimulate young players.
"Liu, your physical fitness is really good, to be honest, I felt like I couldn't hold on just now." Lei Allen, who finished training, admired Liu Han's physical fitness, he felt that his breathing was about to stop at the last moment of training, and now he felt that his legs were almost unable to support him, Lei Allen saw that Liu Han was just a little tired, and there was no feeling that he couldn't support it.
"I used to be a shepherd in my hometown, and I had to take care of more than 20 sheep, and sometimes I had to run for a day in the mountains, so now I am in good health." Liu Han has a good feeling about Ray Allen, and he feels that this black player has a temperament that no one else has.
"Is your hometown in China? Isn't it still very poor, haven't you been practicing basketball since you were a child? Liu Han's words caught the attention of Lei Allen, who had never been in contact with Chinese before, and had only heard some news from the news.
"No, I've never played basketball before, I only started playing a year ago, and it was Coach Li Rui who brought me to the United States, and he is now a basketball coach at Inglewood High School." Liu Han didn't hide anything from Lei Allen, who had a good look.
"SHIT, are you kidding? How is this possible, you've only been playing for a year? You're not kidding me, Liu, it's impossible, isn't your shooting like this after a year of training? Lei Allen, who had never swear before, was stunned by Liu Han's words.
"Sorry to interrupt your conversation, is the Coach Li Rui you are talking about Coach Li Rui from Inglewood High School?" Just when Ray Allen was still in shock, a young black man about the same height as Ray Allen said to Liu Han.
"Yes, he's now teaching at Inglewood High School, and he and I are now living with his father-in-law."
"Hello, my name is Paul Pearce, I just graduated from Inglewood High School this year, and Coach Li Rui has taught me a lot." Paul Pierce was a little disdainful of Coach Li Rui at first, but after half a year of getting along, he was very grateful from the bottom of his heart for this tall Chinese who sincerely cared for every player.
"Ha, you are Paul Pierce, Coach Li Rui often mentions you at home, saying that you work very hard and will definitely achieve great achievements in the future." Liu Han has always been curious about Coach Li Rui's Paul Pierce.
"I also know you, Liu, Coach Li Rui also told me about you, I watched your performance in the NCAA finals, and your three points are really accurate." In his teachings to Paul Pearce, Li Rui has always emphasized the importance of long-range shooting ability.
"Liu, is what you just said true? You've really only been playing basketball for a year? Ray Allen, who had just come back from the shock, didn't pay much attention to Paul Pearce.
"Yes, I don't have to lie to you, Coach Li Rui can testify to me."
Liu Han, who spent the day tired, was happy to have made two friends. In the following week, the young players who participated in the summer camp spent such a lot of physical training, Liu Han was a little uncomfortable at the beginning and gradually got used to this kind of training, but some young players have begun to show boredom with such physical training.
"Mr. Abdul-Jabbar, I think I'm here to train how to be a basketball player, not to be a long-distance runner." Kobe Bryant, who has an explosive hairstyle, directly questioned the training camp arranged by Abdul-Jabbar after a day of boring physical training.
"Oh, so Mr. Kobe Bryant, how do you think our camp should train you?" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was not offended by Kobe Bryant's questioning.
"Well, I think we should have done a lot of training with the ball and we should be taught how to score effectively." Kobe Bryant, who has always been the best of his peers, shows the sharpness of youth.
"Oh, so Mr. Kobe Bryant, what do you think of your game, is it the best here? Or do you think basketball is the most important thing to score? ”
"Yes, I think my skills are the best here, basketball is the sport of putting the ball in the basket, and of course the most important thing is to score."
"Okay then, if you don't mind, can you show me your skills? Liu, come over and accompany him to fight for a while. Abdul-Jabbar hopes that Liu Han can teach Kobe Bryant some lessons, he knows that Liu Han's current technical level, with Liu Han's anti-sky projection ability, should be able to convince this unruly boy.
"Introduce you to Liu, Kobe, he is the main player of this year's NCAA championship team UCLA Bruins, maybe you won't believe it, but he has only been training in basketball for less than a year, his three-point is very powerful, ten balls, I hope you can guard him."
The young Kobe Bryant didn't quite believe in Abdul-Jabbar's words, he felt that Liu Han should be the kind of person who had been trained for many years, at least better than him in terms of physical fitness, but as for ball skills, Kobe Bryant always felt that he was the best.
"Mr. Abdul-Jabbar, who serves first? Let him send it, or he won't have a chance to show off his skills. Liu Han's words actually didn't mean anything else, he just said his thoughts, without any intention of looking down on Kobe, on the contrary, he really wanted to see how the ball skills of this very physically gifted young man were.
Liu Han's words made the young Kobe a little enthusiastic, and he planned to give this Oriental a little bit of power.
Kobe Bryant started to attack first, Liu Han didn't stick too much on the defense at first, he saw in training that Kobe Bryant was very fast, and now the dribbling skills are also very skillful.
Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball steadily at the top of the arc, after a day of hard physical training, his physical strength could not guarantee that he could run fast at this time, he saw that Liu Han's position was not too close to him, and he planned to try his hand first.
A full day of training can make the tired Kobe Bryant feel some hand tremors when he shoots three points, and the basketball bounces directly to the front of the basket, and it is Liu Han's turn to have the ball.
Liu Han ran out of the three-point line with the ball and threw the ball to Kobe, which is the rule of bullfighting, you need to hand the ball to the opponent before each attack, and the opponent will say that he is ready after returning the ball to you. Liu Han did not pause after receiving the basketball thrown back by Kobe, and directly pulled out his shot for three points, and the basketball crossed a beautiful arc and fell straight into the net. One to zero.
Kobe Bryant was just about to sink his focus and defend the opponent well when he threw the ball to Liu Han, but he didn't expect Liu Han to take the ball directly and shoot.
In the second ball, Liu Han still hit three points directly after receiving the ball, Kobe Bryant finally reacted, he remembered what Mr. Abdul-Jabbar said before, Liu Han's three points were very accurate.
In the third ball, Kobe Bryant rushed directly to prepare to block Liu Han after handing the ball to Liu Han, but Liu Han's shot this time was tilted back and deliberately increased the arc, and the basketball still flew into the basket with a strong rotation.
The next six balls are the same as this ball every time, Kobe Bryant tried to block Liu Han's shot with his outstanding jumping, but after a lot of physical training for a day, Kobe's running and bouncing are not as good as at the beginning, and the feel is also affected, and Liu Han's hand does not seem to be affected by the decline in physical fitness at all, just like a machine that has been programmed, every time it is a catch and shot, every time it is hollow into the net.
On the tenth ball, in the face of Kobe Bryant, who was already panting, Liu Han did not shoot directly again, he dribbled the ball a few times, and easily broke through the opponent's defense and threw it into a layup.
"How's that, Mr. Bryant, what do you think of your opponent's technique?" Abdul-Jabbar lowered his head and asked Bryant, who was tired of putting his hands on his knees.
"He, he's just shooting accurately, nothing else is as good as me. I'm so tired today, I'll beat him up when I regain my strength. The youthful Kobe Bryant didn't admit his defeat.
"But your opponent has also received the same full day of physical training as you, isn't it, he can beat you in such conditions because your physical fitness is not as good as Liu, young man, you have to remember that the person who can ensure that his technical movements are not deformed in the most exhausting moments of his body and mind can succeed in the NBA, you are still far away."
Liu Han and Kobe Bryant's bullfight shocked many people, they didn't expect this stupid-looking Oriental to be so powerful, and at the same time, they began to lose their disgust with the continued physical training.
"Hello, my name is Liu Han, I think as long as you practice shooting and physical fitness, you will definitely be better than me, your physical talent is so good, as long as you practice seriously, you will definitely succeed." Liu Han reached out to Kobe Bryant, hoping to be friends with these talented peers.
"Go away, I don't need your sympathy." The unruly Kobe Bryant rejected Liu Han's friendliness, and he vowed in his heart that one day, he would defeat this Oriental. People who are full of obsessions in their hearts will always cause others to be annoyed in some way.
