In this chapter, another mysterious master appears, and you can guess who he is. At the same time, please collect it! ）

Summer is coming to an end, and the irritating heat will gradually be replaced by coolness. However, the American people's enthusiasm for basketball is just beginning to heat up.

Starting in October, the U.S. state high school basketball league, the U.S. college basketball league, and the NBA will all kick off. Among them, the NBA's preseason games will be the first to start in each region. The California High School Basketball League will also start before the start of the NBA main game.

At night, the Great Nette Grill on San Francisco's Folsom Road is still lit up, but a sign has been hung at the door to close.

"Hey Gan, how did training in high school feel?"

"It's harder than expected, I didn't expect Coach Bellman to be so strict and train a lot. And his swear words are about to make me squirt all the poison. ”

"Hahaha, Bellman and I have known each other for a long time. He loves basketball as much as I do, but unfortunately his talent is nowhere near as good as mine. So he carried over his basketball dreams to the coach's bench, but he never got a chance to prove himself, and Palo Alto High School has been tepid. ”

"So you recommended me to him, hoping I could help him?"

"Haha, it seems that your self-confidence is really strong now? Yes, you're very talented, and you're still growing taller, 6'7 (2.01m), that's an amazing speed, just as fast as you're improving. However, I still hope that Bellman can help you, because it is difficult for me to improve you anymore, and now you need someone who systematically helps you build the foundation, and Bellman is a very good candidate. ”

"Thank you so much, Mr. Thurmond, I realized that I still have a lot to learn after I trained in high school, from a single stamped step to a tactical choice. I'm dreaming about training right now. ”

"Learning is a never-ending process, and even if you get into the NBA one day, you find that every morning you wake up with a lot to learn and improve. Otherwise, you won't be able to survive in this alliance. ”

"You're right, every word you say, I'll keep it in my heart."

The two people who spoke were naturally Gan Guoyang and Mr. Nate Thurmond, the owner of the barbecue restaurant.

Gan Guoyang and Gan Guohui returned to the Gan family restaurant in San Francisco this weekend, and Gan Guoyang had a good meal of his father's cooking. Then in the evening, I went to the cinema with Gan Guohui and Chen Xing to watch Spielberg's new movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

The film went on to win multiple Oscars in 1982 and is a classic film. Of course Gan Guoyang has seen it, but he can't say "I have already watched this movie on the computer", so he can only go to the cinema and watch it again.

After watching the movie, Gan Guohui was forced by his mother Qian Hui to go home to do his homework, and Chen Xing naturally went back. The three of them agreed to go to the Oakland Stadium tomorrow Sunday to watch the preseason game between the Golden State Warriors and the San Diego Clippers.

Gan Guoyang went to the Great Nate Barbecue on Folsom Road alone and visited Mr. Nate Thurmond, and the above conversation was born.

"Go back and bring your basketballs. Remember, never stop moving forward. ”

Gan Guoyang left the barbecue restaurant with his basketball and the teachings of his predecessors, and as Thurmond said, he never stopped his steps. Now no matter where he goes, even if he goes out to watch a movie, he has to dribble all the way with his basketball.

Over the course of more than a month of training, he has been getting better and more mature. His ferocity under the basket is beyond what the average high school player can withstand defensively. The key is that his movements are very clean, with no signs of small movements and fouls.

On the defensive end, he has an unusually sharp nose for rebounding and an almost voracious desire to grab rebounds. When there's him, backcourt rebounding is almost nothing to worry about.

On the offensive end, his offensive skills under the basket still need to be further polished, but his soft touch and excellent mid-range shooting are considered by Coach Bellman to be a great weapon that can greatly enrich the team's offensive tactics.

Now Gan Guoyang, as a high school player, one of the things he lacks the most is the experience of the game, which is impossible to teach, and the other is the understanding of tactics, which is based on the previous question. Both of these things take time to accumulate.

Gan Guoyang dribbled the ball, walked on the streets of San Francisco, and thought about the team's tactical positioning, this thing was really difficult for him, after all, standing on the court and playing a game with God's perspective felt completely different.

He already knew that he should have acquired the talent created by the NBAlive2004 game crew, but it took constant practice and learning to develop it. However, there is no "basketball IQ" in NBAlive's player ability information!

So he knows that he can only learn these by his own brain, and he can't use a golden finger.

Just dribbling all the way, thinking all the way, Gan Guoyang unknowingly walked to Union Square.

This is the place where Gan Guoyang's basketball dream was at the beginning, and that bullfight not only gave him the confidence to choose basketball, but also gave him two very, very good friends.

Thinking of the time when the three of them were fighting bulls here, Gan Guoyang couldn't help but walk towards the small basketball court.

Gan Guoyang thought that he hadn't been here for a while, and since his level had improved a lot, it seemed that this small venue could no longer accommodate him.

He took the ball and stood under the basket again, looking up at the basket that was once unreachable in his heart by the light of the roadside.

He jumped lightly and, without a run, poured the ball into the basket.

Now is the time for him to be able to conquer the basket.

Gan Guoyang took the ball and began to practice shooting on the small court. He's not a soft guy who can shoot now, but he knows that he can't shoot basketballs, but he can't shoot basketballs.

As a center, turnaround jumpers are almost a must-have skill, unless you just want to be a blue-collar defender. In fact, any blue-collar worker in the NBA was a star in high school.

Gan imagined the tall young Nate Thurmond standing behind him, dodging his bounce and long arms and finishing him with a turnaround jumper.

However, the more he thought about Gan Guoyang, the more unlikely he felt. No matter what kind of feints he used, he felt that Thurmond was everywhere. When he turned to shoot the basketball, he felt as if he had a big hand in front of his ball, and he couldn't dodge it anyway.

Gan Guoyang constantly turned his back, dribbled, feints, turned over, jumped, shot, and almost every ball could be scored, but he still felt that Thurmond was with him.

"No, it's still too slow, there's no way to escape Mr. Thurmond's clutches......" Gan Guoyang has too high requirements for himself, he hasn't thought about it, how many people in the NBA can escape Thurmond's big hands?

"Hey, friend! You've got a good jumper! ”

At this time, a voice came from outside the lights on the side of the road, which should have been said to Gan Guoyang. Gan Guoyang looked back in the direction where the voice came from, and found that there was a long shadow under the street lamp that was getting shorter and shorter, and someone was approaching.

"Hello, young man. You're shooting really well, are you a high school student? "There was a black man who was about the same height as Gan Guoyang. He has a square face, thick lips, and a mustache above his lips, which looks solemn and majestic.

He was wearing a beige plaid suit and brown bell bottoms, as well as a pair of shiny black leather shoes, which looked very stylish.

"Hello sir, thank you for the compliment. Still, I don't think I'm fast enough. Gan Guoyang looked at him and said. He's also telling the truth, he does feel that he should be too slow, although he is already relatively fast at the level of high school.

"Oh, you want to be a little faster? Just like Bruce Lee! Are you from China? The stranger asked again.

"Yes, I'm from China and now attend Palo Alto High School."

"What kind of high school is this, I've never heard of...... But I rarely see Chinese who play ball as well as you, I thought they would only cook and do kung fu. ”

"No, sir, we love to play basketball too."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, you're a very good basketball player, and your turnaround skills are pretty good, but... It's a little slow, slow and I want to go up and kick your ass. ”

"Thank you for your encouragement, sir, if you kicked my ass to make me spin a little faster like a donkey, I'd rather take off my pants and let you kick a hundred times."

"Hahaha, that's a funny guy. Well, just to prevent me from kicking your ass, let me teach you two tricks. ”

Gan Guoyang thought that this person was just idle and bored to tease himself for a few words, but he didn't expect that he would actually go into battle to teach himself two tricks!

He took off his coat and set it aside, wearing only a shirt. Then he took the ball from Gan Guoyang and began to dribble on the periphery.

"Hey, come here to defend me, come here, do your best." He is very skilled in dribbling, and combined with his height, he seems to be a regular player.

However, Gan Guoyang is not Wuxia Ameng, after more than three months of training, he is already a professional basketball player. In the face of his defense, it will be difficult for the average person to even make a shot.

Gan Guoyang looked at the face of the Chinese character wearing leather shoes and bell bottoms, lowered his center of gravity, and made a defensive posture.

"Very good, pretty perfect defensive posture. I'm coming! ”

As soon as the words fell, the face of the Chinese character broke through from the right side with a stride. However, probably because of the leather shoes, his speed is not particularly fast.

Gan Guoyang quickly followed the footsteps and clinged to him. At the same time, his left hand went to pick up his ball.

Guozi's face turned around, came to the back state, and stuck Gan Guoyang with his buttocks. And Gan Guoyang did not show weakness, and stubbornly guarded his own plate, not giving him too much space.

"Hey, your top-level skills are really good!" The national character face did not forget to praise Gan Guoyang for a few words.

And just as he spoke, the national character face suddenly turned to the right, and at the same time he had jumped into the air, shot, and the ball went in!

At this time, Gan Guoyang was still motionless in place, watching Guozi face throw the ball into the basket.

"Yes! A beautiful goal! See, this is the real turnaround jumper. Guozi looked at Gan Guoyang with a hint of pride.

"It's really fast...... How did you do that? ”

"I can teach you, but it's up to you whether you can learn it."

As soon as Gan Guoyang heard that he was willing to teach himself, he immediately came to the spirit, and now he does not give up any opportunity to learn.

"You know, when you turn around and shoot, you have to have a complete fulcrum, and then you look at the basket and jump up and shoot. You're doing the same, and you're doing it well. But, like you, there are many people who do it, it's just too slow! ”

"First of all, you all use your toes to do the fulcrum spin, and I use my heels to spin. You can go and try it, and if you raise your toes a little and use your heels as a fulcrum, I dare to assure you that you will turn around faster. ”

"Second, when I'm good at turning, I don't put my face on the defender, I jump right away. In other words, when you turn around, you're about to start jumping! Instead of turning around first to look at the ugly face of the person behind you and then jumping, aren't you afraid that you will be so scared that you can't jump? ”

"Finally, you need to have a very fast shot and throw the damn ball out and into the basket when the opponent reacts and puts his hand on your ball. Okay, that's all, you understand? ”

The national character face said a bunch of things in one breath, Gan Guoyang probably understood, first, use the heel to make a rotating fulcrum, second, when you turn around, you are ready to jump, and third, faster shooting speed.

"No problem, I think I can try." Gan Guoyang thought for a while and said.

"Oh my god, you're so confident, I'm going to see how you do it. It's my time to defend. ”

Guozi Face was obviously disdainful of Gan Guoyang's self-confidence, and threw the ball to him, asking him to try it.

Gan Guoyang got the ball and looked at the face of the national character standing there loosely, this guy obviously didn't take himself to heart.

Gan Guoyang learned the face of the Chinese character to dribble a few times on the periphery, and also broke through from the right side with a stride.

"It's not bad, it's just a little slower!" The national character face followed Gan Guoyang's footsteps, but he didn't post it.

At this time, Gan Guoyang also turned his back and leaned back, finding that the other party's body was very strong, but he did not exert his strength.

So he used the heel of his right foot as a fulcrum, quickly turned to the right, and as he turned, he was already bent on his knees and ready to jump.

The moment he turned around, he didn't observe the defense of the national character face, but suddenly bulleted, jumped in the air, bent his arms, and shot.

Ball in!

Gan Guoyang's entire action process was completed in one go, and it was almost a replay of the action of the national character face just now - although the national character face was wearing leather shoes.

After the ball was scored, the mouth of the national character face also changed to the national character.

"Wow, my God, you actually threw the ball in, and it was with my turnaround jumper? This... It's fucking incredible. Are you Bruce Lee reincarnated? Oh no. Obviously, the face of the national character is a little disordered.

"No, I'm not Bruce Lee reincarnated. I was able to do this because you taught me well, thank you. ”

"No, no, no, no, I didn't teach you anything, I told people about this method a long time ago, but there are not many guys who have learned it. I didn't expect that, you kid... It was so surprising to me. What is your name? The national character face asked Gan Guoyang's name.

“Sunny•Gump。” Gan Guoyang said the name he used for the school team.

"Sunshine idiot? It's a really cool name, and your dad must be cool too. But I don't think you're an idiot. ”

"Thank you, I didn't expect to meet you today, I'm so lucky to learn this technique!"

"I think that's God's arrangement, I never expected to meet such a talented young man here, and I feel very happy."

"What's your name? Can I come back to you in the future? ”

"Oh my God, it looks like you really don't know anything. You'll definitely know me later, maybe tomorrow. Of course, I look forward to meeting you in the future. Goodbye, Sunshine Fool. ”

The national character face left an inexplicable word, and left with his clothes.

Leaving Gan Guoyang there puzzled: "Can I get to know him tomorrow?" ”
