Chapter 198: Crazy Three-Point Show
In Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States in January, it is snowing in the middle of winter!
But Qi Lei, who was indoors, was wearing a completely opposite outfit to the weather outside, wearing a sports vest and a pair of sports shorts of the same style, and then wearing a pair of borrowed brand new sneakers on his feet to stand on the court.
What's going on, this is!? What's the situation!? β¦β¦
In fact, didn't Rockets head coach Tomjanovic say half an hour ago that he was very curious that Qi Lei is a professional star, a team owner, and a professional basketball player?
Of course, among so many identities, Tomjanovic is most concerned about being a professional basketball player!
Averaged a big triple-double per game, not to mention whether Qi Lei played in the NBA or not, being able to play such a result as a player in the professional game, this alone is already very revealing!
In addition, his boss Alexander seems to admire Qi Lei, which makes the Rocket head coach even more curious about Qi Lei's ball skills!
On the other hand, Alexander, the owner of the Rockets, also seems to have the intention to show his face to Qi Lei, and it is not enough to say that he has picked all the words, and then he simply came up with a small idea and brought Qi Lei on the court to show off his ball skills.
Well, having said that, this trip to Houston has changed again!
From the original audience who simply visited the stadium, he has become a live performer. This matter has changed roles quickly......
But then again, Alexander's mention actually has his plans!
There may be something that few people know yet, but it can be said to be a very important thing for Alexander and his Rockets, or for both of them...... That is, in the contract that Gene and Alexander agreed to join the Rockets, there was a secret clause.
The content of this article is actually very simple, that is, after the start of the 2003-2004 season, the Rockets will add the name of Reviel to their roster...... As a non-draft player!
For this request, of course, Revival has a personal opinion! After all, his main job is a star artist, and playing ball is just a hobby for him now!
But in any case, since the matter of Reviver becoming the rocket has been decided, it means that the above agreement will also be realized in the near future.
So for this reason, Alexander the owner of the Rockets has been speculating about the reason why Qi Lei did this on weekdays, and whether Qi Lei's own ball skills can really make him be selected to play in the NBA?
That's why Alexander suddenly made such a seemingly ridiculous decision today!
On the other hand, Tom, the coach of the Rockets who was curious by the words of the owner Alexander, (use the abbreviation!). Although at first I was a little surprised to hear the boss's mentions. But he didn't immediately raise objections, because he also wanted to see how much strength his former teammates could have, Yao Ming, a newcomer in his team!
Because I learned a lot about Chinese basketball, it was a good thing for Tom to coach the team and think about tactical training for the team.
So for his boss Alexander's suggestion, Tom didn't say anything after thinking about it, which was considered a tacit acquiescence!
Let's go back to Revival himself, since he joined the professional basketball team after filming a few days ago, after playing a few games. At this time, the part of Qi Lei's heart that has been buried deeply, and his incomparably hot love for basketball has gradually awakened with more and more game playing time!
Not to mention that after coming to the Rockets this time, I watched Yao Ming and so many current NBA star players play on the court.
For a while, Reviver's ball addiction was committed...... Therefore, when he heard his partner Alexander's suggestion, he readily agreed without saying much. β¦,
After the combination of the three factors, it finally evolved into the fact that Reviver changed into sportswear and stood on the court!
β¦β¦
Fortunately, the time for public viewing of the arena has passed by this time, so this unexpected scene is now being staged in the Compaq Centre. In addition to the eyes of the people inside the team, only a group of companions brought by Qi Lei were watching
"Bang Bang Bang~~"
In the field, Wei Lei was patting the ball and was familiar with the feeling of the ball, and the touch from the tip of his hand made Wei Lei think very comfortably in his heart: Good ball! ~
But it's no wonder that Qi Lei is like this, after all, even the basketball used for training on weekdays in NBA teams is made by specific manufacturers through strict requirements.
Whether it is the leather on the outside of the ball, or the material on the inside...... After years of league practice, the NBA league has its own set of specifications for all equipment and facilities in basketball!
Although the balls used in the domestic league are also specially made, how can I say it! β¦β¦ To paraphrase a popular sentence nowadays, describe it like this: Brother doesn't play basketball, he plays feeling!
This is the case with Quan Lei, although the ball is a good ball, but more importantly, he has the mood that he is holding an NBA special ball in his heart, and naturally feels that this ball will be better than the basketball he has been exposed to before!
"Papa~~" After shooting for a while, Qi Lei began to dribble to the bottom of the basket and shoot a few balls.
Groove layups, well-defined angled shots on the line in the color zone, and final three-pointers...... In this way, Qi Lei picked himself and threw 13 balls in a row.
But the only thing that can really be shot is a pitiful four balls, not even half! It's a bit of an insult to the aura of a professional player on his head!
Such a table suddenly made some of the Rockets players on the sidelines who stepped back to rest: "Haha~~ What! Is the boss telling us to step down just to watch such a show? Isn't it terrible......"
Among them, Morris, who plays as a striker, and a group of substitutes laughed the most, while several current candidates such as Mobley and Francis also had disdainful looks on their faces, but they did not say anything.
And although Yao Ming didn't show any anxious expression on his face at this time, the little giant clenched his fists in his heart and secretly cheered: Come on, Qi Da. Just let me, just let the people of the U.S. men's basketball team see your skills! I'm sure you'll have amazing looks!
Don't doubt why Yao Ming is so confident in Qi Lei, you must know that although we don't spend much time together, the little giant knows very well in his heart that when Qi Lei is training with him, it can be seen from the look that Qi Lei can easily deal with...... He's got some room to spare!
It is precisely because of this that Yao Ming at this time is not worried that Qi Lei will make a fool of himself or anything. On the contrary, he was very curious about what it would be like when Reviver's ball skills were in full swing!?
At this time, Qi Lei slapped the ball again and picked himself up again to shoot like just now, and the line around the color place started from the bottom of the basket to the end outside the three-point line, and shot a total of 13 shots.
This time the results are a little better, with a total of 8 goals scored and 5 goals missed. But even so, Qi Lei's table could only win the boos and teasing of the Rockets benches on the sidelines: "Haha~~ What! ~ It turned out to be a rookie, I said rookie boy, you can't shoot, do you want to brother, I'll teach you, as long as you pay 5 dollars, you can learn it immediately! Ah~~haha~"
Seeing this, even Coach Tom, who was a little curious about Qi Lei at the beginning, and several other senior Rocket team leaders could only shake their heads at this time!
Another flower shelf! -- So thought of the people.
But is Reviver a showmanship? β¦β¦ The answer, of course, is no. β¦,
When he finished the shooting practice just now, he turned around and shouted to his agent on the sidelines, Ah KING: "Hey~ Ah KING, can you come down and help me?" β
"I knew it! ~~" Listening to Qi Lei's shout, agent KING doesn't have to guess what Qi Lei is going to do!
Fortunately, today I knew that Qi Lei was coming to Team Rocket's side, and Ah KING did not dress himself up as a full agent like usual, wearing a fancy suit and trousers and leather shoes. Instead, he came in an athleisure outfit with a long shirt and trousers, because he knew that if the two of them showed up on the court, it wouldn't be long before he would have to come out to help!
At this point, Ah KING has often encountered such a situation when he participated in the Chinese professional basketball team in China Qilei.
So after complaining a few words, he strode to the sideline and put a basket of basketballs put by the Rockets logistics staff, and pulled the basket into the court with the ball, and said angrily: "Is it still the old rule!?" β
"Of course!" Qi Lei tacitly returned.
"What a nuisance...... So, get ready! β
The strange conversation between the two immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked curiously at the two men on the court, waiting for something to happen.
"Ready? It's coming! When Ah KING saw Qi Lei walking to the top of the arc outside the three-point line at a right angle to the basket, he signaled and shouted: "3~~1, I'll throw!" β
"FUCK~~~ AH, YOU BASTARD IS CHEATING!" Originally, Qi Lei was still waiting for Ah KING to shout 2, but he didn't expect Ah KING to throw the ball out directly after counting.
As a result, I was not ready for a while, and I ran one step slower to catch the ball.
BUT EVEN SO, AFTER QI LEI STARTED RUNNING, HIS FACE WAS ANGRY BECAUSE OF A KING'S TRICKERY. On the contrary, at this time, his face showed more of an excited and extremely excited expression: Haha~~ Come on!
Although the ball was passed out in advance, because it was passed straight to only three steps away from Qi Lei, Qi Lei was able to run to the position first and immediately stopped and jumped to shoot a three-point shot after receiving the ball with both hands.
"Whew~~~~ beam!" The crisp sound of a basketball piercing into the net told everyone on the sidelines who were looking at Reviver that the goal had been scored.
Of course, such a ball is just a ball, and it doesn't mean anything, so no one who watches the ball has any feelings about this ball!
But the next scene, they were stunned!
Damn, madman...... After the scene that greeted everyone's eyes clearly transmitted the information to everyone's brains, everyone couldn't help but curse at this meeting.
I saw that after throwing the first ball, there was no pause for any movement. As soon as he landed, he immediately changed direction and started to chase Ah KING on the side, picked up the basketball from the basket and threw it hard. Then, just like just now, after receiving the ball, he made another three-point jumper!
Then, as soon as the center of gravity of the body hit the ground, he started again and ran towards the pass that Ah KING threw irregularly, and after catching it, he still used the emergency stop jump shot to shoot outside the three-point line. And then continue to wait for the landing immediately to run to catch the ball, and then throw the ball, and continue to chase the ball without giving yourself time to react, throwing the ball, chasing the ball, and throwing the ball again......
"Quick! ~Revival, you're too slow! β
"The ball is over here~~"
"Haha, you're running in the opposite direction! I'm going to pass the second ball~"
"~~I'LL TOP YOU XX~~~A KING!!"
"Bundle! ~~~Bundle! ~~Touch the bunch~~~Bunch~~"
"Hah~~"
β¦β¦
I'm strangling, what's going on!? β¦β¦ Crazy three-point shooting? Or is it the devil's three-point shooting, this is! ββUntil then, everyone on the side of the court, who had seen the intentions of the two of them, had their eyes wide open.
