On the lighted pitch of the Gezhouba Cement Plant.

On one side of the field there was still a group of shirtless young men running for a long time and sweating, and on the other side there were only two people. Cheng Fei held the basketball and patted it slowly one step inside the three-point line, with Wu Zhongmin, his junior high school physical education teacher, in front of him.

"Come on, try, dribble and take two steps, and then jump shot in front of me." Wu Zhongmin beckoned.

Cheng flew to the sideline to dribble, stepped in front of Wu Zhongmin in two steps, then jumped, paused in the air for a moment, and suddenly shot the basketball. The basketball crossed an imperfect arc, smashed into the front of the hoop and bounced back.

"Don't think I can jump, I won't jump up and cover you at all," Wu Zhongmin said, "just raise your hand, you won't be able to throw it." You see, that's your problem, why you can't score goals in the game, that's the key. ”

Cheng Fei lowered his head.

"You have to overcome this psychological barrier first, go ahead!" Wu Zhongmin straightened up.

Cheng Fei took a deep breath, dribbled and rushed over again, and then jumped and shot. His movements almost departed from the previous style of Wang Zhiwen, and his movements were extremely similar to Wu Zhongmin. This is because his basketball moves are not yet in shape and can be easily reshaped.

In this regard, Wu Zhongmin's heart was very shocked. He has taught many students to play in his teaching career for more than ten years, and he has seen all kinds of talents, taking shooting as an example, there are not a few god pitchers who are born with a shooting feeling, but Cheng Fei is definitely one of the best. Before teaching him the jump shot, Cheng Fei's upside down shot was almost 100 shots from any position within the three-point line when no one was guarded, which is certainly nothing for a professional player, but it is not easy for a child who has not done physical exercise at all before and has just learned basketball for two months.

What surprised Wu Zhongmin even more was that Cheng Fei's learning ability was very amazing. In fact, Wu Zhongmin didn't expect Cheng Fei to master the jump shot in a short period of time, for two reasons. In terms of hardware, jump shooting requires a certain level of waist strength, wrist strength, and balance ability, and most people who have just started to learn jump shooting will not be able to control their bodies, and can only master it after a period of adaptation. In Wu Zhongmin's impression, Cheng Fei's physical fitness is extremely poor, but he only demonstrated the jump shot last night, and today he can master all the essentials, and he can make a jump shot in the position where he used to throw!

In terms of software, the feeling of the jump shot is different from the upside down, the aiming time of the upside down shot is relatively long, and the way of exerting force from the sole of the foot is easier to control more steadily, while the jump shot is mostly looking for the position of the basket in the air. If a person switches from a flip shot to a jump shot, the shooting percentage will inevitably drop for a short period of time before they can slowly get it back. But this Cheng Fei not only learned the jump shot the next day, but also found his feeling in only half an hour, in his words: "It feels more accurate than before." ”

Cheng Fei's actions that night attracted young workers playing on the court, and with the help of Wu Zhongmin, he ran anywhere within the three-point line, jumped when he received the ball, the arc was accurate, and almost the ball was hollow! While watching the lively young workers, they all applauded!

But while Wu Zhongmin sighed, he also found a serious problem, that is, once Cheng Fei encountered someone defending in front of him, whether it was a reversal shot or a jump shot, the shooting rate was greatly reduced, and only one goal was hit in ten balls. This shows that his psychological quality is seriously not up to par.

Wu Zhongmin made up his mind to conduct intensive training and constantly asked Cheng Fei to shoot in front of him. As time passed, Wu Zhongmin gradually began to not only stand still, but sometimes pressed up, sometimes jumped. Cheng Fei's hit rate can be described as unpredictable, sometimes it is acceptable, and sometimes it is miserable.

The master and apprentice were sweating profusely, and when they were sitting on the sidelines resting, Wu Zhongmin asked, "Cheng Fei, can you come during the day?" ”

Cheng Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't say, sometimes I can." ”

Wu Zhongmin nodded: "Okay, I'm not there during the day, I'll find someone for you to spar." As he spoke, he shouted towards the stadium over there, "Xingzi, come here!" ”

A short, stout guy walked up. This person looks to be in his early twenties, with a kind face, only about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt, and is standing on the sidelines watching the game just now. He walked over and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Wu?" ”

Wu Zhongmin patted Cheng Fei's shoulder kindly: "Let me introduce you, this ......"

"Hey!" Xingzi smiled and said, "Cheng Fei, so famous, who doesn't know that this year's bureau is the champion of the high school entrance examination." ”

Cheng Fei shook hands with Xingzi with some restraint. Wu Zhongmin said with a smile: "This is also my student, several years older than you, you can call him Xingzi, everyone who plays here is called that." ”

Xingzi asked, "What's the matter with me?" ”

Wu Zhongmin said: "Look, this junior is learning to play basketball, I don't have time during the day, you accompany him to practice." The problem now is that his jump shot percentage is too low when someone is watching, and he needs to work out. ”

Xingzi's face was dazed, and his mouth still promised with "uh-huh". When Wu Zhongmin was about to leave the court, he caught up and asked in a low voice, "Teacher Wu, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?" You want me to practice with him, but it's not about developing future superstars, which you haven't done before...... Oh," he said with a wicked smile, "are you trying to find Cheng Fei's dad to do something?" ”

Wu Zhongmin's face sank, "Don't talk nonsense. I ask you, what do you think of me as a pitcher? ”

Xingzi said with a smile: "Needless to say, the best pitcher in the city, the last time I saw you play that Jingchu Cup city-wide basketball game, the other party was dumbfounded......

Wu Zhongmin interrupted him: "He is a natural pitcher, I don't know how many times stronger than I was back then. I want to nurture him well, that's all. ”

Xingzi was stunned for a moment and said: "Teacher Wu is so elevating him, then I don't have much heart, I just have a good sparring partner." ”

After Xingzi took over the task of sparring, he quickly realized that what Wu Zhongmin said was true. He's seen a lot of good shots, but he's never seen anything like this.

Cheng Fei's jump shot is quite Wu Zhongmin's style, jumping up with a straight body, feet together, right elbow pointing straight to the basket, left hand slightly holding the ball, when about to jump to the highest point, from the shoulder, stretch the right arm, and finally the wrist flips, the fingers gently pluck the basketball, the basketball rotates in the air at a constant speed for three and a half weeks, falling into the basket, silently. Such a standard and graceful jump shot is not available to those young workers.

Unguarded shooting, almost 100 shots.

Xingzi said: "Cheng Fei, you come over to defend me, see how my height shoots in the face of defenders." ”

Cheng Fei nodded and greeted him closely. Xingzi dribbled, suddenly started, and threw off Cheng Fei in two steps. But he had reservations, and did not take this opportunity to break through, but stopped for a while, and when Cheng Fei caught up and jumped up to defend, Xingzi collected the ball and jumped suddenly!

Cheng Fei and Xingzi jumped up at the same time, but found that the angle of the other party's body was wrong, and it was tilted! Xingzi's body was almost at an angle of 45 degrees to the ground, and then as soon as his waist and abdomen were closed, the basketball in his hand was thrown!

Cheng Fei had no possibility of blocking at all, so he could only watch the ball go over his head and hit the basket!

"This is ......," Cheng Fei muttered.

"Step-back jumper," Xingzi walked over to pick up the ball, "Mr. Wu asked me to spar, I changed the teaching content without authorization," he blinked, "I'll teach you a step-back jumper, so you don't have to be afraid of your opponent!" ”

This is the third day of Cheng Fei's special training from Wu Zhongmin.

On the first day, Wu Zhongmin demonstrated the jump shot action and told the main points, Cheng Fei thought it was a difficult action, but he found that he had mastered the essentials after a few attempts, and the distance of the jump shot was expanded from the basket required by Mr. Wu at the beginning to the free throw line, and the shooting rate quickly improved to the previous level. Cheng Fei even felt that he was more sure of shooting.

Wu Zhongmin was very surprised by this, but soon felt a little disappointed. Because in the training on the second day, once Cheng Fei faced a situation where someone was defending, the hit rate dropped sharply, and it was difficult to throw the ball into it - even if the defender didn't do anything. Wu Zhongmin believes that Cheng Fei's psychological quality is too poor, and psychological quality is extremely important to pitchers, no matter how good his skills are, his psychological quality is not up to par, and he cannot become a qualified pitcher, let alone an excellent or even great pitcher.

However, due to Cheng Fei's outstanding shooting perception ability, Wu Zhongmin still holds a glimmer of hope, hoping that he can exercise a stable psychological quality under the continuous training of shooting in front of the defender. However, Wu Zhongmin also knows that this kind of psychological quality is first of all innate, and it has something to do with the character itself, and secondly, it can only be enhanced by playing more games. If Cheng Fei has too few opportunities to participate in the game, or if he is not reused, then his shooting talent will inevitably not be reflected.

At the end of the next day's training, the result was quite disappointing for Wu Zhongmin. Cheng Fei only hit a single digit in hundreds of shots, and most of the balls he hit were dribbles.

On the third day, he went to the Municipal Education Bureau to do business, and handed Cheng Fei over to Xingzi for training. Xingzi is a student of Wu Zhongmin, after graduating from secondary school, he returned to work in the factory, although he is very short, but he is very hardworking, and he is not afraid of physical confrontation. Wu Zhongmin hoped that Cheng Fei would accept a stronger confrontation from Xingzi. However, he didn't expect much, was it too harsh to ask Cheng Fei to make leaps and bounds in such a short period of time?

On the fourth night, he walked to the Stadium of Light as promised, thinking about these things. Thinking about it, Wu Zhongmin blamed himself a little, asking himself that he was a teacher who was strict in teaching and quite tolerant to students, but in recent days, the basketball coaching of Cheng Fei was not like his character.

When Cheng Fei misses a shot, he always feels that his heart is on fire, and when he sees Cheng Fei out of breath and lacks physical strength without shooting a few shots, he is even more furious, and he must Cheng Fei persevere. At this moment, Wu Zhongmin's heart swelled with a sense of pity, Cheng Fei was originally a child who did not do physical exercise at all, and now he is willing to play basketball, which is a great progress, why do you ask him to do things that he can't do? Even if Cheng Fei is a natural pitcher, if he continues to ask for it like this, can he still be allowed to enter the professional team and play professional games? He is a child with excellent academic performance and a bright future, so why be too demanding on such inconsequential things?

Wu Zhongmin patted his head and shook his head with a smile. It seems that he is old and has reached menopause. He slowed down and walked into the stadium of lights, but he was taken aback by what he saw.

Xingzi held the ball and patiently explained: "Look, even if the opponent gets you stuck, you can still shoot." As he spoke, he let Cheng Fei lean against his back, then shook the ball from side to side, and said in his mouth: "Pay attention to my steps, draw a semicircle with your left foot as the axis, and then make a feint, and then turn back, kick the ground, and lean back!" ”

Xingzi leaned back, steadyly in the air, and the ball in his hand flew out, but it didn't go in.

Cheng Fei, who was sweating profusely, nodded: "I understand, this is much more difficult than the previous breakthrough emergency stop, I'll try again......"

A surge of anger surged in Wu Zhongmin's heart, and he shouted loudly: "Xingzi! ”

Xingzi looked at it and exclaimed with a smile: "Teacher Wu, you are here!" Cheng Fei also respectfully called "Teacher Wu". The young people who were playing next to him also greeted each other. It can be seen that Wu Zhongmin has the weight in their minds.

Wu Zhongmin walked over quickly, pulled Xingzi aside, and scolded, "What are you doing here? How do you teach a step-back jumper? I said Xingzi," he said, the more angry he became, "I know you're the best at step-back jumpers, but I'm asking you to accompany him to practice and practice jumpers against defenders, what kind of treasure are you playing in front of him?" ”

Xingzi listened to Wu Zhongmin with a smile, and then said, "Teacher Wu, you are underestimating me too much, no, no, not underestimating me, you are underestimating your apprentice!" ”

Wu Zhongmin asked confusedly, "What do you mean?" When did I underestimate you and underestimate him? ”

Xingzi smiled: "Teacher Wu, didn't you ask me to train him to face the shooting problems of defensive players?" I've solved it! ”

Wu Zhongmin glanced at Xingzi, then at Cheng Fei, and asked with disbelief on his face, "Really?" ”

Cheng Fei touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I can't say ......."

Wu Zhongmin knocked on Xingzi's head: "Look, you're talking big!" ”

Xingzi said to Cheng Fei unconvinced: "Okay, you kid deliberately hurt me!" Then he said to Wu Zhongmin, "Teacher Wu, if you don't believe it, go up and try him!" ”

A few young people who didn't play next to him all coaxed: "Teacher Wu, let's try it!" ”

"Okay!" Wu Zhongmin stopped outside the two-point line, looked at Cheng Fei and said, "I'll stand here, you just come and vote, and if you vote, I'll spare Xingzi!" ”

Cheng Fei smiled and said, "This, I'm afraid this won't work......"

Wu Zhongmin waved his hand and said, "I just said, first of all, you have to start with the basics, and even stand like this......"

"No, Mr. Wu," Cheng Fei said, "It's too defenseless, you might as well move." ”

"Oh oh oh!" Xingzi and the young people coaxed together, Wu Zhongmin looked at Cheng Fei with a smile, nodded, and walked over.

Cheng Fei said: "Teacher Wu, don't be too guarded, otherwise you ......" Before the words fell, he suddenly started, dribbling straight down to the right! Wu Zhongmin was taken aback, he hadn't seen Cheng Fei start so fast at all, but he instinctively took two strides with his experience, and quickly curbed Cheng Fei's route to the forbidden area!

Cheng Fei dribbled twice, and the person had reached the position of zero degree angle, and at the same time as his feet were retracted, the ball was also in his hands. When Wu Zhongmin saw it, he pounced forward, and shouted loudly!

Cheng Fei has jumped up, his left foot is the focus point, his feet jumped, the whole person actually leaned back obliquely, forming an acute angle of about 60 degrees with the ground, he raised the ball with one hand, and gently supported it with his left hand, his eyes, elbows, hands, and balls were almost a straight line, and the action was not deformed at all!

Wu Zhongmin had already stretched out his hands and jumped up, but he didn't do his best and didn't have physical contact with Cheng Fei. However, Cheng Fei's actions greatly surprised him!

Cheng Fei had a significant stay in the air, and it seemed that when Wu Zhongmin had begun to fall, his forearm was raised up, and the basketball flew into the sky in a soothing attitude, Cheng Fei staggered a few steps slightly when he landed, and at the same time, the basketball fell straight into the basket without the net, silently!

Wu Zhongmin's eyes widened, he couldn't hide the surprise in his heart, and he had nothing to say for a long time.

Xingzi clapped his hands and walked over and said to Wu Zhongmin triumphantly, "Teacher Wu, what do you think of me as a teacher?" Not worse than you, right? ”

Wu Zhongmin shook his head, didn't seem to believe his eyes, and asked, "When did you teach him to lean back?" ”

Xingzi said: "It was last night, I received your task at that time, and I thought, that's not easy, just teach him to lean back, people can't prevent you, won't this solve the psychological problem?" I told Cheng Fei that leaning back is invincible and incomprehensible! ”

Wu Zhongmin smiled bitterly and said: "Your set is purely messy and mistaken. If you want me to say, it's not because you're a good teacher, it's because this student is special! ”

Xingzi nodded convincingly, and gave Cheng Fei a thumbs up: "It is worthy of being a student of Teacher Wu, he learns fast enough, and his shooting is first-class." Our buddies are all fighting him, and no one can beat him......"

Wu Zhongmin patted Cheng Fei on the shoulder, and said for a long time: "Boy, it's good." ”
