Chapter 19 Breakthrough and Upgrade
The victory in the semi-finals was indeed an unprecedented improvement for the second middle school, and everyone felt satisfaction and joy.
Being able to enter the finals of the Guangzhou Division is undoubtedly a very huge breakthrough in the history of basketball in No. 2 Middle School, and there is still hope to go further, and everyone is looking forward to winning the finals.
Therefore, the principal decided to reward all members of the school team with 2,000 yuan.
For Li Yang and other main players of the school team, it is a direct reduction of tuition fees for one year, not only can you get a bonus of 2,000 yuan, but also you can give priority to applying for scholarships, and there is a living allowance every month.
As soon as the news spread, the basketball team of No. 2 Middle School was naturally smiling, everyone was happy, the welfare benefits were good, and more students wanted to sign up for the selection of the school basketball team, which made coach Chen Wei laugh and let the tension of the imminent final dissipate a lot.
In this regard, Li Yang is still very happy, although his family is not short of this money, but it is a good thing to be able to reduce tuition fees and get a scholarship.
The other two teams in the Provincial High School Basketball League have not yet started, and the winning opponent advances to the finals. The No. 2 Middle School basketball team, which advanced ahead of schedule, has not relaxed, and is already actively preparing for the finals.
......
The semifinals of the Guangzhou Division High School Basketball League finally ended, and the No. 2 Middle School defeated the provincial real and reached the finals. Immediately afterwards, Panyu Middle School also defeated its old rival Yuyan Middle School through a fierce battle, and successfully reached the finals again, and won the division with No. 2 Middle School to compete for the regional league championship.
Sure enough, the battle between Panyu Middle School and Yuyan Middle School was extremely fierce, and it was almost until the last moment, when the ammunition was exhausted, and the winner was decided.
In this game, Lin Tianni also saw the power of Yuyan Middle School, although there were no too good players, but everyone's strength was very average, and there were almost no loopholes. Yuyan Middle School's offensive and defensive system is very rigorous and meticulous, the tactical execution is very decisive, and it plays real team basketball, similar to the team basketball of the NBA Spurs.
However, Lin Tianni's performance in this game was also very amazing, scoring 28 points in the whole game, plus 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, and the terrifying results of the data column being stuffed with everything, and single-handedly killed Yuyan Middle School, which made many people admire.
Thinking that Panyu Middle School will face against No. 2 Middle School in the finals, Lin Tianni is about to fight against Li Yang, people can't help but get excited and look forward to the finals.
According to the normal competition arrangement, the provincial high school basketball league will end in early April. In April, the National Summit Tournament will begin, and the crazy April knockout round, catching and fighting, all the way to the finals, will last until the end of April.
But it's too far to talk about that right now, and there's no need to care about it at the moment. The final exams are approaching, and in addition to preparing for the finals, everyone is also nervous and concentrating on the final exams.
Li Yang was also a little nervous, during this time he spent too much time on basketball, although he didn't fall too far behind in learning, but compared with before, it did take a lot less time, as a future superstar, talent and appearance can not be left behind.
In fact, for many talented young players like Li Yang, who took the road of sports early and were talented, academic performance is not very important.
For example, Wang Peng, he will inevitably take the road of a professional player in the future, his profession is basketball, whether he studies well or not, whether he can be admitted to university, it doesn't mean much.
But Li Yang himself doesn't think so, basketball is his dream, and becoming a world-class professional basketball superstar is his goal, but he is still a high school student, and he can't fall behind in learning, especially English, the necessary skills to communicate with people abroad in the future, and he can't be sloppy in the slightest, not to mention that it is not yet possible to determine whether the system has English skills exchange, which is the point.
The system reminded him that if he wants to go to the United States and the NBA in the future, then English is an obstacle that must be overcome.
There's no way, what the system says makes a lot of sense, so Li Yang is working hard to learn English from now on, preparing for the future NBA in advance, and paving the way for his dreams, not to mention that this day is not far away.
As the tension grows, the divisional finals are finally close at hand.
And just two days before the finals, Li Yang's ability made a breakthrough, and his ball control ability finally broke through to the C level under continuous training.
"Hurry, hurry, yes, that's it." The voice of the system sounded in Li Yang's mind, "Dribble with rhythm, don't go to the ball, feel it with your heart, you know where the ball is, and your hands will appear there." There is also the body, which should be well coordinated with the ball, and pay attention to the combination of man and ball. ”
It was half past nine in the evening, and on the community court, Li Yang was still conducting normal training under the supervision of the system.
"It's a wonderful feeling."
"Okay, you can stop."
Half an hour later, the system signaled Li Yang to stop, "Rest for ten minutes, and then conduct emergency stop jump shooting training." You've got a C level for your own three-point shooting, a C level for mid-range shooting, and the most important thing right now is to improve your shooting percentage in a stop-and-go situation. ”
On the basketball court in the community, Li Yang ran with the ball, whether the speed was fast or slow, the basketball was tightly glued to his hand, and he didn't need to watch the ball at all.
This is a wonderful feeling, you don't need to deliberately control the ball, and the ball is in your hand, left to right, to the back, all are relaxed, like a flexible elf, pointing where to play, a bit of a sense of unity between man and ball.
In fact, before the semifinals, Li Yang's ball control ability was already very close to the C level, and after the semi-finals, as well as the training after the semi-finals, it is normal for his ball control ability to step into the C level.
"Host, your ball control ability has also been improved to level C." The system's voice suddenly sounded, "From now on, you can focus on breaking and passing." ”
"Break and pass!" Li Yang's eyes lit up.
"Yes." "Whether it's a breakthrough or a pass, you must first have excellent ball control. Therefore, when your ball control ability is improved to the C level, you can get twice the result with half the effort when training breakthroughs and passing, and you can improve quickly. ”
"You have to know that your goal is not just to be a pure shooter, or even to be a strong super scorer."
"My goal is to build you into the best two-up defender in all rounds, you can be the brains of the team when the team needs assists, direct the attack, revitalize the team, and use your ability to create opportunities for your teammates when they need them, and pass good balls."
"And when the team needs you to score, you have to be able to carry the banner of the team's attack and use it to help the team win."
"Only by doing this can you be regarded as a qualified main defender!" After the system finished speaking, he said directly: "Let's start, from today onwards, you have to learn to break through and pass." ”
"Hmm." Li Yang nodded silently, becoming the strongest dual-strength defender who can score and pass, which is also his goal!
Start training. An hour and a half later, Li Yang stopped to rest.
The voice of the system sounded again: "Host, offense mainly includes running, dribbling, passing, breaking, and shooting. Your shooting, dribbling, and running are all up to C level, and what you're missing is passing and breaking. Only by upgrading these two things to C level can your offensive skills be considered C-level. ”
"In addition, you have to try to keep up defensively, and the defense mainly includes three major items, rebounding, steals, blocks, and mouth shots. It may seem like just three simple items, but there are so many doorways to do it. ”
"Let's take rebounds as an example, first of all, if you want to grab rebounds, you must have good prediction ability, prediction of the landing point, as well as reasonable positioning, reasonable card positioning, good bounce, tough physical confrontation and so on."
While explaining the system, Li Yang started training again.
Another hour passed, the training was finally over, Li Yang returned home sweating profusely, read a book for a while, took a hot bath, and then fell asleep and chatted with Zhou Gong.
As the news of the No. 2 Middle School's upset in the finals spread rapidly, reporters with microphones in their hands and cameras on their shoulders began to appear on the campus of No. 2 Middle School.
They wander around the school every day, constantly digging up all the news about Li Yang. Almost all of Li Yang's classmates and teachers were interviewed.
Even Li Yang's teasing dog when he was a child and being chased by the big wolf dog was called by them as an instinctive training method for basketball, which made Li Yang cry and laugh when he saw it, public opinion is too terrible, a simple little thing can be described so similarly, and those who don't know it are believed to be true.
In the past two days, Li Yang has already experienced the troubles brought by fame, no matter where he goes, there will always be people who look at him like a rare animal.
