Chapter 43: The Lost Will Find the Light
A day's training was spent in Anthony Washington's Sanbu and Lu Fei's one-handed dribbling on the side of the court, Lu Fei's shoulders were not completely good, and he couldn't practice with his teammates, so he could only sit on the sidelines and dribble by himself.
It is only when a person is idle that he will reflect on the gains and losses of the past.
Lu Fei watched Lorenzo Romaar on the side of the court keep changing tactics to practice, from the initial Flex attack, to running and bombing, to triangle tactics, and occasionally mixed with blocking and dismantling tactics, the current Eskimo team's changeable style of play is absolutely unprecedented, and several tactical players are becoming more and more proficient after drilling.
At this time, Lu Fei was like a spectator.
It's been a long time since I came to the United States, from the time I got to know Anthony Washington, I entered the varsity team, I played in the NCAA, everything went so naturally, and so far I played three games, and the team changed three tactics, and these three tactics will be the basis for all the future Eskimo Dogs team play.
Once the team's tactical glasses are in place, the next step is to keep winning games.
Lu Fei sometimes wonders, why do you want to engage in so many tactics?
Diamonds, horns, fold area offense, run and bomb, triangle tactics, these tactics he kept trying, from the CUBA attempt to the NCAA, he relied on his understanding of basketball tactics to win the game, won more, lost less, but always felt that something was missing......
But he looked at the court, Brandon Roy ran according to the tactical position he set, and played an attack efficiently, compared to Roy's previous style of play, the damage to the knee was much smaller, and he felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong.
He stared blankly at the basketball in his hand, feeling a little messed up.
Time flies, and the day's training is over quickly.
When Lu Fei came to the dumpling restaurant, the dumpling restaurant had already begun to serve customers, a couple of international students, snuggling together with a digital camera and pouting the lens to take pictures.
At that time, there was no such thing as a front-facing camera.
"It's not as good-looking as Gu Tang." Lu Fei glanced at the woman and thought in his heart.
When he came back, Gu Tang had already returned to Washington.
After Daddy Chen made two sauerkraut dumplings for the couple and brought them over, he took off his apron from his body and ran to sit down opposite Lu Fei.
"This is the ledger." Daddy Chen handed a notebook to Lu Fei.
Lu Fei raised his head and asked with a blank expression, "What account book?" ”
He clearly remembered that the previous accounts had been settled.
"Gu Tang's girl has eaten at my place for a few days, and it is recorded in your account." Daddy Chen is a serious man.
"Why?" Lu Fei was not happy.
"She's your girlfriend."
"She's not."
"You kid don't even want a girlfriend in order not to pay the bill?"
Lu Fei couldn't cry or laugh, looked at Daddy Chen and said: "Dad, Xiao Gu is a student at Johns Hopkins University, I spent money to stuff a scumbag into the University of Washington, originally I also wanted to chase her, but later I found that things were not as easy as I expected." ”
"Isn't it easy?" Father Chen pursed his lips and said, "The girls have asked you to help her pay the bills, obviously they don't treat you as an outsider, I think as long as you are willing to chase, it is natural for the two of you to be together." ”
"Impossible."
"How do you know it's impossible if you don't try."
"How do you know I didn't try."
"Did you try?"
"I ......"
Lu Fei smacked his lips, as if he hadn't really tried it.
Father Chen closed the account book, rolled it into a roll in his hand, slapped it on Lu Fei's head, and scolded: "You kid just don't have confidence, when you play, you will play like this and play like that, the coach tells you to go east, you don't dare to go west, you don't have your own backbone, playing ball is like this, love is like this, it's better than my unsuccessful son!" ”
"......" Lu Fei was stunned: "Dad, let me slow down first." ”
Daddy Chen obviously misunderstood, thinking that the change in his tactics on the court was arranged by the coach, but as a fan, he could see that Lu Fei really regarded himself as a brick of the revolution in order to make the team's offense smoother.
Although these are all tactics arranged by Lu Fei himself, he only implements them according to the changes in tactics, but the reason why he executes them like this, in addition to winning the game, seems to have been said by Daddy Chen for a very important reason, a reason that Lu Fei never thought of - lack of confidence.
He was still confident when he played CUBA, because at that time he not only crushed his opponents tactically, but also significantly improved his physical basketball skills.
But since coming to the NCAA, he has obviously relied more on tactics, and even said that it was for the team to grow faster, but in fact, to put it bluntly, he was not confident.
People only rely on what they do best when they are not confident.
Playing CUBA in China, he did not interfere with Coach Guo Qiang's coaching at all, at most he only used some small tricks in the game, but when he came to the NCAA, he began to constantly try to test his tactical style of play in the team, because he always felt that his skills and body had no advantage in the NCAA, so he was not confident, and he wanted to rely on his tactics more.
If you think about it, is there really no advantage?
His speed can't be said to be the fastest among all players in the NCAA, but it is definitely the top ten speed, his shooting is even praised by Ray Allen, and the shooting percentage is the only one in the NCAA, his height is now only 1.87 meters, but who can guarantee that he will not grow taller? His back-to-back skills and ball-handling skills will definitely not drag the team back.
Even the weight strength confrontation that he has been criticizing has grown during this period of training.
Outside the glass door, a shadow of the sun occasionally appeared behind the dark clouds, as if a lost person had discovered the light.
"You have to know that Gu Tang is willing to let you pay the bill for her is not treating you as an outsider, I have opened a dumpling restaurant here for more than ten years, and I have seen countless couples, but when the girl is willing to let the boy pay for her, it proves that the boy is the person he trusts, or the person she wants to be intimate, on the contrary, when a girl refuses the boy to pay in every possible way, the boy will definitely have no fun...... Did you listen to what I'm saying? Father Chen was chattering on the side, and suddenly found that Lu Fei was not listening to him at all.
Lu Fei came back to his senses and nodded hurriedly, "Dad, what you said makes sense." ”
He finally understood what to do in the future, he wanted to hone his body and ball skills, he was just talking about it before, but he never took action, except for accompanying Roy to practice back singles for a few days, and then he didn't really polish himself.
"Since what I said makes sense, settle the bill."
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"What I said makes sense, not this ......"
"You still want to pay the bills?"
“……”
There was a light rain outside the window, Lu Fei was wondering if he really didn't pay the bill, would Daddy Chen not lend him an umbrella and let him go back to school, how could Gu Tang, a girl, do this kind of thing to eat a bully meal without paying.
Her trust made Lu Fei feel a lot of pressure - asking his girlfriend what it was, only asking the wallet to live and die.
