Chapter 317: A Lesson

Addison's slightly hoarse shout echoed across the court, revealing a resoluteness that was completely different from the mild politeness that had been severe, and made most of the audience a little stunned for a while. Zhao Tailong and Li Muhao on the inside frowned vigorously, these young people are regarded as the core of the future in their respective clubs, and basically no one including the coaching staff dares to shout at them like this, so suddenly they instinctively looked at Addison with unkind expressions; Zhou Qi and Ding Yanyuhang, who have experience in training in the United States, did not show any rejection, and what Addison shouted was the same as what basketball trainers in the United States demanded, but Addison, who entered the game, yelled more directly and strictly.

The corners of Yi Jianlian's mouth, which was hovering on the edge of the paint area, lifted slightly, and Addison's exhale reminded him of the time when he had just entered the NBA, when the coach yelled at him in such a tone. Now that he thinks about it, he is very grateful to the coach for scolding him at the beginning, and in the years in the NBA, his speed literacy has increased exponentially, otherwise he may not have enough ability and awareness to carry the national team now. Yi Jianlian could certainly see that several young players on the field were unhappy with Addison's shouting command, but he didn't know how to deal with this dissatisfaction, he was a qualified core who did his best on the field, but he was not a good locker room leader.

"It's a style that has been honed in the U.S....... When I was first selected for the national team, I didn't dare to shout at Dazhi and let you run and cooperate......" Yao Ming, who was standing on the sidelines, joked with a smile to Wang Zhizhi and head coach Gong Luming, it seems that he doesn't care at all about worrying about the gradual confrontation and tension of the emotions of the players on the field. He's had more conflicts in his career than the youngsters on the pitch combined, so he knows it's nothing. The atmosphere of the new generation of national teams is much better today than it was in the old days, when there were many factions and turbulent undercurrents, and most of these young people's dissatisfaction with Addison was only due to their youthfulness and instinctive rejection of this outsider. Once Addison played overwhelmingly well in front of them, then they naturally put away their rejection and hostility.

At least this generation of players still follow the instinct of a competitor, speaking with strength on the field, and not mixing other factors......

Although he was still very reluctant, because the head coach and Yao Ming and others were watching from the sidelines, and Addison's shouting was not strong, his teammates had to start running according to the command of the point guard. The stump style of play can be said to be a common problem in Chinese basketball and even Asian basketball. As we all know, basketball is a five-person sport, and if there is no frequent running and pulling space by teammates, there will be very few scoring opportunities, and it is difficult to create one-on-one space for the main attacker. As a point guard, Addison was most annoyed by his teammates standing on their posts and not running, and in high school he even had the experience of lashing out at some teammates for neglecting to run.

Seeing that his teammates began to run, Addison retracted his attention, and in the face of Guo Allen, who was staring at him, he gently took a broken step, and his right hand gradually increased the rhythm of the dribble. Guo Allen vigilantly observed the opponent's center of gravity, and at the moment when Addison's waist and abdomen were lifted up, he thought that the opponent was about to break through, and Zuo Luneng took a step back. However, Addison just made a posture of leaning forward, taking advantage of the moment when Guo Allen retreated, the Chinese point guard shook his right hand and passed the basketball into the three-point line quickly and lightly!

Ding Yanyuhang on the right flank originally just wanted to make an interspersed run around the bottom line, and Zhou Peng's out-of-position defense gave him the space to go straight to the bottom line, but he didn't expect such a fleeting opportunity to be captured by Addison at the top of the arc, and the basketball bounced to the ground almost at the same time to the position that Ding Yanyuhang could copy without bending down. Thankfully, the young forward, who is about to turn 22, caught the pass quickly and easily put the basketball into the basket before the opponent's interior could return to the net.

Yi Jianlian's basket protection and defense ability is very average, and Wang Zhelin is not much better, and it is unrealistic for the inner line composed of these two people to firmly guard the penalty area. In fact, the best ability and awareness of the national team's internal defense basket is only 19-year-old Zhou Qi, although Zhou Qi's various skills are still very immature, but his talent in the awareness of helping to defend and block is indeed blessed, and even compared with international players of the same age, he is a first-class existence.

Ding Yanyuhang pointed to Addison who assisted him after scoring a goal, due to his age and seniority, he could not compete with Li Gen, Zhou Peng and others in the national team, at this time what he needed most was to perform well in the training match. Ding Yanyuhang, who had eaten the sweetness, had to praise the NBA-level point guard's passing and control ability in his heart, anyway, he had never seen anyone in China who could pass such an accurate and timely penetrating ball.

Allen Guo pushed the ball towards the frontcourt, and from the point of view of the point guard, he just lost for a while, which made him a little annoyed. Although he is not yet 22 years old, Guo Allen has already shown his talent in the domestic league, and many fans have crowned him with the title of "China's No. 1 point guard" or even "Asia's No. 1 point guard". He didn't want to lose to the Chinese on the other side, and the opponent's status as the 'NBA All-NBA Team Player' aroused his desire to challenge.

Addison stepped back to the three-point line and took a step to settle down the defense, and he didn't press Guo Allen upfront, not only did he think it was unnecessary, but the rhythm of the opponent's dribble also proved that the point guard's ball control ability was not bad. Allen Guo's style of play is biased towards American defenders, so Addison also plans to deal with him with American defenders.

As a typical offensive point guard, Guo Allen's first thought was to break through Addison, and his breakthrough ability is indeed very good in Asia. But in Addison experienced Carey. Owen, Chris. Under the defense of Paul and many other top players who broke through the baptism, Guo Allen's single breakthrough was nothing at all, and his signature change of direction and straight-line acceleration was also blocked by his rapid sideways.

"Excuse it, buddy, you should be able to see that you can't get past me. There is no shame in using a block and a dismantling on the field, and it is the most unsuccessful thing to block and dismantle but not to use it. Addison whispered to Allen Guo that he wanted to make a suggestion, but to Allen Guo, it sounded like trash talk.

The annoyed point guard ignored Addison's advice, and the muscles in his whole body tensed up and quickly exploded, trying to use his explosive power to squeeze the thin-looking Addison into the three-point line. Allen Guo's attacking style is somewhat similar to Russell's. Westbrook, but compared with the fierce and tragic 'Turtle' who is open and close offensively, Guo Allen has a big gap in all aspects from speed and strength to dribbling skills. Addison's physical fitness and muscle strength are only stronger than Guo Allen, and after the two bodies collided, he did not stumble and shake in the slightest, but Guo Allen, who was miscalculated, was suddenly driven up by the strong horizontal force and almost lost the center of gravity of the dribble.

Addison saw the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to grab the center of gravity, and at the moment when the opponent was unstable in dribbling, his left arm quickly reached out and accurately clicked on the basketball! The crisp sound made Guo Allen's heartstrings sink, and he wanted to turn around in time to regain control of the basketball, but Addison flashed like a cheetah and slapped the ball he poked out first, and the wind rushed towards the opponent's half!

If Addison had been at a high speed, none of the players on the floor would have been able to catch up with him, but instead of sprinting with all his might, he slowed down as he reached the three-point line. Guo Allen, who gritted his teeth and had been chasing the defense, took the opportunity to narrow the distance with Addison, and when he saw the Chinese point guard clasping the basketball with both hands, he struggled to keep up, jumped on the ground, and swung forward with his right arm to destroy the opponent's layup......

But the basketball was not held in Addison's hand as he expected, but was gently sent back by the opponent along the side of the head, and Ding Yanyuhang, who followed Addison's speed, took the basketball and jumped up directly in the face of the empty three-second zone, and slammed the basketball into the net basket with one hand!

Ding Yanyuhang is the only teammate who consciously follows Addison's fast down in the counterattack, which Addison sees in his eyes and remembers that the tactical literacy of this forward player on the offensive end has surpassed most people on the court, and is quite close to Yi Jianlian, who has NBA experience.

"Xiao Guo's face is not very good-looking......" Gong Luming looked at Guo Allen, who walked to the bottom line and was about to receive the serve, and said to the two big men beside him in a low voice. Due to Guo Allen's uncle Guo Shiqiang, Gong Luming couldn't help but take more care of Guo Allen and be jealous.

"Whoever is taught a lesson twice at the beginning can't look good, it's normal." Wang Zhizhi responded with a smile and patted the head coach on the shoulder to signal that he didn't have to worry.

"Eddie was born to teach these lads a lesson, otherwise wouldn't the money be in vain?" Yao Ming's words are much heavier than the two next to him, of course, this is also affected by his qualifications and authority, "Now these young players in China are a little too favored in their own leagues, especially led by Xiao Guo, who is so confident that he is even a little unpopular." Before the Asian Championships, if they don't see clearly what it means to have people outside the sky, then we will be very dangerous in this Asian Championships. Just got a little better in the CBA and is the 'No. 1 point guard in Asia'? He had to recognize his current abilities sooner. ”

Feeling the seriousness and thought-provoking in Yao Ming's tone, Gong Luming didn't dare to continue on this topic. He looked at Ding Yanyuhang, who was high-fived Addison while retreating, and couldn't help but smile: "Xiao Ding, this kid is really a good seedling, capable and conscious, if he grows up like this, he will definitely be much more reliable on the front line of the national team in the future." ”

Yao Ming nodded in agreement, although he had just criticized the new generation of players for being domineering, he could also see that a group of talented post-90s players had emerged in China in the past two years. Guo Allen, Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Qi are all the best of these players, especially the strength of the backfield players has improved, and it is rare that the backfield players can not even dribble the ball in half the court in the face of the opponent in international competitions.

That's why he wanted to ask Addison to teach this group of self-confident young people some lessons, so that they could calm down. The Basketball Association has given a dead order, and this Asian Championship must play well, so this group of young players must maintain a calm attitude to face the next schedule.
