Chapter 47: Point Guard
Since the qualifying round was a time-limited outdoor basketball court rented in the eastern district of Southwest City, the captains of the five participating teams received their arrival time at 8 a.m. on Saturday.
This kind of time undoubtedly made everyone in the basketball team of the High School Affiliated to Beijing University feel uncomfortable, as the only school of the five teams in the West District, they all had to get the school at 7 o'clock in the morning and be led to the basketball court by the team leader.
This kind of arrival time earlier than school makes them criticized, but compared to the joy of being able to play basketball. It's nothing.
This kind of official competition, which is equivalent to the entry level of the city's competition, also made half of the people in the High School Affiliated to Beijing University not sleep well.
Especially Gu Beicheng and Qin Weijia, who had a holiday with Xiao Wang Pai Li Si of the youth team, didn't sleep all night after tossing and turning.
"I'm going to win tomorrow and I'm looking forward to playing against you and your trusted teammates in the Winter Qualifiers." On the basketball court of Lin Mu Community, Li Tianren, the boy with glasses, learned that Lin Mu and his school were playing the qualifying tournament for the winter tournament tomorrow, and blessed him from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you... That's right... Can you teach me some point guard offensive methods..."Looking at Li Tianren, who had become a friend, Lin Mu hesitated for a long time and pleaded.
In fact, for tomorrow's game, Lin Mu has already been set as the starting point controller. He's feeling a lot of pressure for tomorrow's game. Under this pressure, he began to think about making up for his shortcomings. That is the inadequacy of offensive means.
The current Lin Mu, although he has two cards that can briefly improve the explosion, also has a basic layup and a straight-arm layup that steals learning. However, his offensive methods are not as comprehensive as the point guard of the North Palace Academy in front of him.
This is likely to become a shortcoming of his skills and tomorrow.
Li Tianren heard Lin Mu's plea and he did recognize Lin Mu in his heart. He also hesitated for a long time to say what was in his heart.
"Actually, as a point guard. It is not necessary to master too many offensive means. The four words of point guard are mainly in the word control. Controlling the pace of the game and being the brains of the team is what a point guard is all about. ”
"Also, the point guard, as a defensive position, needs more steals and defense, as well as unexpected shots and passes. This position, the play is unexpected and unexpected. The offensive means are nothing more than layups and shots, and I can teach you a couple of layup positions. However, I hope you will remember my words today and don't go away with the basics. ”
Li Tianren's words reveal sincerity, and also say his understanding of the position of point guard.
After listening to Li Tianren's heartfelt words, Lin Mu was silent for a long time. He carefully digested Li Tianren's words and found that he had unconsciously begun to walk the crooked path.
I don't know where I started, but I began to show my edge, and I wanted to use my personal ability to help my friend win. However, my team has many teammates who can be trusted in terms of strength and ability.
Maybe he's starting to worry about it?
Lin Mu, who had figured it out, cautiously thanked Li Tianren, who was thinking about him. After hearing Lin Mu's thanks, the boy who was a little out of the middle two finally smiled.
This smile can be understood as friendship as well as recognition.
When Li Tianren smiled, Li Tianren remembered once again the amazing shot like a meteor when he saw Lin Mu for the first time...
So, this night, Li Tianren taught Lin Mu all his layup postures without reservation, and also selflessly chatted with Lin Mu.
And the adults on the basketball court also cheered for them as spectators and fans of the two big boys. also sent blessings to Lin Mu.
When they finally left the court, Lin Mu and Li Tianren made an agreement, that is, they must bring their most trusted teammates to a hearty battle on the basketball court!
Lin Mu, who returned home, watched his mother work hard to prepare supper for himself, he first said sorry in his heart, and then enjoyed the meal.
"Mom."
"What's wrong stinky boy?"
"Playing basketball, it's really fun. And also... Thank you... I've always supported me. ”
"You don't have to say thank you for that, as long as you're happy and able to do what you love. As parents, we are also happy. After listening to Lin Mu say thank you, although she was very happy, she still said this sentence strongly. But in her heart, she still said it
"You've grown up, stinky boy."
Lin Mu, who was enjoying the supper, was about to return to the bedroom when Lin Mu suddenly said:
"Tomorrow, you must win!"
"Don't worry, I'll win!"
Lin Mu said firmly. This time he didn't hesitate!
The time soon came to Saturday, and Lin Mu still got up at five o'clock to play basketball as usual.
On the basketball court in the early morning, he still used the basketball wrapped in cloth. He's been training on the layups he learned yesterday. The sound of the empty brush entering the net was as shocking as his determination today.
Not only Lin Mu was training in the early morning, Gu Jing also came out of the house in advance, he trotted to the subway station, as the captain of the basketball team, he must maintain his best condition, he didn't want to lose. I also don't want to lose my qualification to the Winter Trials.
Looking at Gu Jing's running appearance, on the top floor of Gu Jing's mansion, a young girl clasped her hands by the window, praying that Gu Jing and Gu Jing's basketball team could be successfully selected.
"Rush the duck!" On the street, a big bald head in a vest ran to the school while screaming. That big bald head was Gu Beicheng, he hadn't slept all night, but he was full of passion and the smell of hormones. His eyes are unexpectedly clear and firm, because he must be as firm as a mountain as the main center forward today, he has no way out, even if he may meet the man who caused him to quit the academy team in the first place, he will not retreat as he did back then.
"105..."In an outdoor basketball court, a handsome young man throws a ball. He was sweating profusely and looked like he'd been training for a long time, but his hands didn't stop.
"Mom, I'm out." Murong Bei walked out of the house while eating the buns prepared for him at home. And the old mother behind him, looking at her son's solid back, she wanted to speak and stopped.
But there is a hint of relief in her eyes, probably because after her son entered the basketball team, he never went home at night except for intensive training and study. Or maybe it's when my son cleaned up his room since he joined the basketball team. I saw this child who had lost his dreams, and the six words "entering the national competition" were written on the table!
In this way, the five starting members of the basketball team of the High School Affiliated to Beijing University ran towards the goal with the same dream!
