Chapter 5: The First Lesson
In June, Zichuan was extremely hot, and even when the sun was setting, the residual heat did not abate.
The waves on the concrete floor were hot, and countless people who loved basketball took to the court, and the sound of slapping the ball mixed with the friction of shoes and the ground completely resounded in the streets and alleys.
In the open space of the court outside a community in the abandoned western part of the city, the five elementary children of the Xiangqi Gang came here early, and this time they came earlier than usual.
The little ones come elated, with antiquation and excitement, for them, ball skills are like martial arts, making them strong.
Yao Mo had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Wuxiao coming, he showed a smile: "I arrived half an hour earlier than I thought, and I can see that you are still working hard!" ”
To be a good player, you not only need talent, but also hard work, which is inseparable from perseverance and strict self-discipline.
Although the little guys in front of him are still young, they seem to be pretty good in the area of self-discipline, although they can't talk about persistence now, but the seriousness makes him a little impressed, Yao Mo sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart.
"Learning football skills is very hard and boring, are you sure you want to learn it?"
"Learn!"
The five small replied unswervingly.
"We'll learn hard, we're going to defeat the Stone Gang!" Jun Hao's immature little face has a serious energy, which is moving to watch.
Their chess gang has been invincible since its formation, and they didn't expect to lose in a fight with the stone gang, and they lost in front of the girls they liked, they not only lost their pride, but also lost their dignity.
"We don't do Loser...... Never! ”
This is the truest idea of the five, where they fall, they can get up, even on the basketball court, they can be kings.
Yao Mo silently looked at the five children in front of him, his heart was a little fluctuating, this is only a seven or eight-year-old child, but he has a strong sense of honor and disgrace and self-esteem, competitiveness may be the side that many children should have, but these children are different, they lost the basketball game in a group fight, but they didn't want to get back face in the fight, but chose to beat each other in the basketball that the other party is good at, this alone is enough to make people admire!
However, what makes Yao Mo a little crying and laughing is that other children learn to play because they like it and love it, but they are good, because of the Stone Gang and chose to play basketball, defeating the Stone Gang has become the driving force for these five children to learn to play, but once this driving force disappears, will they still go on the road of basketball?
Yao Mo found that he was thinking a little too much, the future was still far away, and no one knew what the future would be.
The five little eyes looked at it, and their hearts were full of anticipation.
"Today is my first time teaching you basketball, but before I teach you, I want to ask, do you know any basketball stars?" Yao Mo asked.
The five little ones shook their heads in unison.
"Yao Ming doesn't know each other either?"
"Where's Jordan?"
"Have you ever watched a basketball game or video?"
Yao Mo asked some common sense questions in a row, and found that he looked up to himself, and the five little guys knew nothing about basketball, just like walking out of the mountains, there was a feeling of isolation.
"Don't you have a TV or a computer in your house?" At the end of the question, Yao Mo felt that he was going crazy, he thought that these children were playing with him, who in a modern family does not have a TV, who does not have the Internet? Who doesn't like to watch sports? Now is the information age, so you can touch on it to some extent.
"We all have TVs in our house, but our parents don't let us watch sports channels!" Jun Hao finally told the truth.
"Why?" Yao Mo was full of shock, the child was still too young to watch TV and said in the past, and it was a bit extreme if he was not allowed to watch sports channels.
The five little ones shook at the same time.
Suddenly, Yao Mo had a feeling that he couldn't teach.
After a while, Yao Mo took out his mobile phone, opened a video APP, and clicked on the third game of the 16-17 NBA summary game.
"That's the first lesson I taught you, watch the game!"
Yao Mo led the little ones to the tattered stands, handed over the mobile phone, and watched the world's top games in addition to feeling the tense and exciting atmosphere of the game, which may bring them a greater impact and the most intuitive feeling.
In the third game of the NBA summary game of the 16-17 season, the Cavaliers played at home against the Warriors!
The Cavaliers, who are down 0-2, will return to their home court this time and will go all out to try to win a win at home.
At the beginning of the game, as predicted before the game, James in the Cavaliers' Big Three took the lead and frequently attacked the Warriors' interior to win. Strong singles ability, accurate outside shooting, even in front of the Warriors' strong front, still take what they want, with points to lead the face, and the powerful Warriors.
Five small people around a mobile phone to watch with relish, although they don't understand the doorways in basketball, but every time James scores, the scene of the tsunami-like applause and calls, they empathize, as if they are incarnated as one of them, invincible.
On the other hand, the Warriors relied on the whole team to frequently tear apart the Cavaliers' defense, running without the ball, covering without players, and smooth offensive and defensive transitions.
Compared with the Knights' individual offense, the five little ones prefer the Warriors' full-team battles, because this style is somewhat similar to their chess gang, and they also pay attention to team combat and cooperation. The difference is that the Warriors' team battles are in the basketball field, while the team battles of the five are in the fight.
Eat the opponent hard under the basket, fast attack and violent dunk, emergency stop jump shot, dry pull three points, the display of various offensive skills of both sides, and the five small hearts of the five little ones who watched it could not be calmed down for a long time.
Throughout the first half, the Warriors had a clear advantage in the wonderful attack, and at halftime, they temporarily led by six points.
In the second half, the situation changed abruptly, Irving, one of the Cavaliers' Big Three, continued to succeed in singles, all kinds of difficult disguised passes, crotch dribbles, and brainchild layups, each action was fast and smart, making Thompson who defended him suffer. With a strong play in the second half of Irving's quarter, the Cavaliers achieved a comeback, and then the game entered the most thrilling tug-of-war, with the scores of the two sides going back and forth.
The fourth quarter is the stage of the superstar!
After entering the fourth quarter, the Warriors were counterattacked by the Cavaliers, and the score remained behind, and when the splash was frozen, the new giant Durant in the Warriors stepped up.
The two sides were locked in the last minute of the final quarter, Durant scored five points in a row, and the Warriors overtook the score, and then Irving missed the key three-pointer, and James' last-minute mistake lost the game.
The climax of the entire fourth quarter was repeated, and the atmosphere was so tense that it was painful, until the end of the time, Wuxiao was still silent in the tense atmosphere of life and death.
