Chapter 41 Common Progress
As everyone walked out of the court, Hoggist let the others go in Devon's car, and he and Qiu Jingli got into Mopar. Qiu Jingli still wanted to linger with Haojist for a while, but Haojist urged her to drive quickly, and Qiujing said unhappily: "Yo, what's the matter?" I don't like that I'm not dressed up well enough, I didn't give you a long face just now, did I? ”
"Sister, you think too much, you drive first, go to Joseph's burger restaurant, you must drive to the front of Devon's car, I will show you the way!" Hoggist didn't explain in detail, just blindly urged Qiu Jingli to drive quickly.
"That's not easy, walk!" Qiu Jingli catapulted out of the car with a foot of oil, and drove out of the road on the avenue in a blink of an eye, Qiu Jingli looked in the rearview mirror again, only to see a slip of black smoke behind him, which scared Qiu Jingli, and Haojist hurriedly helped Qiu Jingli stabilize the steering wheel.
"See! So let you hurry up. Hoggist said.
"What's that? It's scary! Qiu Jingli was shocked, her chest was still rising and falling violently, and she drooled when she saw Haojist. Qiu Jingli inadvertently glanced at Hogist's evil gaze, and shouted coquettishly: "Where do you look, stinky rascal?" ”
"Huh? No, you ask about the black smoke! It was Devon's classic car, and his one was a first-generation Lincoln Navigator, old enough, right? ”
"It's not old, the car produced in 97 is only 13 years old at most, shouldn't the car be in such bad condition?" Qiu Jingli wondered.
"I didn't see that you know a lot about cars!" Hogist was even more curious.
"I understand a little, I understand a little......" Qiu Jingli said modestly.
Everyone came to Bill's burger restaurant, Qiu Jingli had just parked the car, and Mrs. Bi greeted her warmly, crackling like pouring beans on her mouth, and said, "I saw the black smoke of Devon's car from afar, and the burgers were prepared for everyone, as well as hot dogs and sandwiches." Did you have fun in the afternoon? Didn't Helian Wu come back with you? Who is this black guy? ”
Hogist and Cho Ching Glass got down from Mopar and beckoned to Mrs. Bi, "I'm here!" The black guy's name is Lang Day. Hollis Jefferson, a high school player from Arizona, met us today! He's defensively fantastic and he'll be training with us for the rest of the holiday. ”
"Then please come in, since we train together, we are all friends, friends!" Mrs. Bi let everyone into the burger restaurant, and suddenly saw Qiu Jingli beside Haojist, and asked curiously: "Helian, who is this beauty?" ”
Hogist hugged Qiu Jingli and introduced generously: "Her name is Qiu Jingli, and she is my girlfriend." ”
"It's so beautiful, Helian, you really have a vision, what a blessing!" Mrs. Bi said with a smile on her face, "That silly boy in my family doesn't know when he will be able to bring a girlfriend back, well, it's better to find a Chinese." ”
Hogist looked at Joseph, who quickly winked at him and motioned for him not to talk too much. Hoggist and Cho Ching Glass also entered the store, and Mrs. Bi returned to the front desk to continue working, and Hoggist took the opportunity to lean over to Joseph and whispered, "Didn't you tell your parents about Vitra?" ”
"No, I don't know what their attitude is, you know that my dad has always been known for being strict, what if I say I'm in love, and the old man breaks my leg in anger?"
"Don't be so exaggerated! I think my aunt is quite open-minded! ”
"What can I say! I didn't expect my mom to be supportive, which made me overjoyed! And with your good boy as an example, I can date Vitra openly! ”
"Hehe, that's not necessarily, didn't Auntie say it? It's better to be a Chinese, your little Hispanic lover aunt may not like it! ”
"I'm not worried, Vitra people are beautiful and enthusiastic, everyone loves them, who wouldn't like them!"
"Loved by everyone? Wouldn't you have a lot of rivals? ”
Hougist and Joseph came to their seats chatting with burgers and other delicacies, and everyone chatted very speculatively, and several people had a heated discussion about the issue of high school students' early love......
……
Solved the two major troubles of Bennett and Parsons, deepened his friendship with Jeremy Lin, and met a new friend, Lang Day. Hollis Jefferson, Howgist is in a better mood than ever. The holiday has returned to calm, and Hoggist's routine is back on track, leading everyone to train on the court every morning, alternating yoga and gym equipment exercises in the afternoon, and lunch and dinner are in charge of Qiu Jingli, which is healthy and delicious.
As for the video of that day's game, it has long been uploaded to the Internet, but it did not cause much sensation, after all, this 3-on-3 has an adult on each side, which is not very official. And the three opponents are not in good shape, one is the outdated former Nevada No. 1 high school student, although he led the team to win the championship and win the MVP at the National Invitational, but Hougist has LeBron on his side. James's advertising, the exposure level is at least two notches worse; Another high school student, although he is also the runner-up of the National Invitational Tournament, is not very popular as the team's blue-collar workers; That is, Parsons's alligator team is the team with the best record in the Southeastern Conference at the moment, so Parsons, the main player in the team, is still a little famous.
Speaking of which, Chandler. Parsons is unlucky to be unlucky in his small fame, the clip of Parsons being dunked by Hougist in the game video was edited and made into a moving picture, which has been widely circulated on the Internet, at least now scouts of NBA teams know that Parsons, a senior in basketball, was dunked by a childish freshman player. For a while, Parsons' draft prospects were very bleak, and he had fallen from the end of the first round predicted by major sports media to the middle of the second round.
On this side, Jeremy Lin's outstanding offensive and defensive performance in the game attracted the attention of the Warriors coaching staff, and Jeremy Lin was recalled to the NBA by the Warriors.
Devin also received a full scholarship for his commendable performance in the competition, and more than one university, UNLV, UNR all received full scholarships, which made Devin excited. After knowing that Hoggist had made up his mind to go to UNLV, Devin decisively decided to choose the full scholarship of UNLV, looking forward to continuing to be teammates with Hoggist in college, although the two can become teammates again after four years, but they can only be teammates for one year, but Devin doesn't care, he thinks that playing with Hoggist for one more game is also a very cherished opportunity.
On the training ground in the early morning, Hoggist and Langdaye, who had warmed up well, were engaged in a suffocating offensive and defensive battle. Under the dual effect of diet and exercise, Hougist's weight and strength have increased in a few days, and now he can barely carry Lang Dai to break through. Under Langday's high-pressure defense, Haugist's dribbling became more and more solid, and the rhythm change in the breakthrough became more and more smooth. In actual combat, Hoggist found that the breakthrough with a change of rhythm was more effective than the forced acceleration breakthrough and forced change of direction breakthrough that relied solely on physical talent, and it also saved more physical strength.
However, in terms of the best shooting, Hougist has been repeatedly frustrated, in the face of an elite defender with long arms like Langday, although Hougist's current shooting action is fast, but the forced shot is still easy to be directly blocked, and even his killer step-back pull-back jump shot is frequently interfered with by Langday's long arm. Hoggist tried to use the way he was not good at breaking through and catching the pull-up jump shot, but because of habitual problems, every time he finally shook Lang Day, he always unconsciously wanted to go in to make a layup, and every time he forced himself to stop and shoot, he was always recognized by Lang Dai because he seemed too hesitant.
"Your breakthrough stop is too hesitant, what you want to do is written on your face, when you don't frown, you must break through, when you frown, you are ready to stop the jump shot, a little more attentive defenders can see it!" Lang Dai pointed out the problem.
"I'm frowning because I can't always find the rhythm of the emergency stop, I can't catch up with the step, and I never have the silky smooth feeling of breaking through the layup, probably because I'm not very proficient, and it should be better if I practice for a few more days." Haugist picked up a towel and wiped his sweat, "Don't talk about me, let's see if your offensive level has improved?" ”
"My shooting has improved a lot, how to shoot when no one is defending, the method you taught really works! But I still can't break through, I don't always dribble well. ”
"If you don't dribble well, it's because your non-dominant hand is too poor, and you have to practice your left-handed dribbling. Now it's your offense, let me abuse you on the defensive end too! ”
"Think beautifully! If you can't dribble, I'll kill you with a back-hit! Lang Dai boasted.
"Come on!" Horgist tossed the ball to Langday, stood at the free throw line, lowered his center of gravity and clapped his hands.
"Walk you!" Lang Dai received the ball at the top of the arc and shot a direct three-point shot. Hougist flew over to interfere with the shot, but it was a pity that his hand reached Langday's neck.
Longday's three-pointer landed firmly in the neck of the basket, stuck between the basket and the rebound.
"I'll go! Big brother, you go back to Arizona, don't say you learned shooting from me! Hougist scoffed.
Lang Dai walked to the basket, stabbed the basketball down with his light ape arm, and returned to the top of the arc with the ball, "It's just your illusion, nothing happened just now!" Let's start over! ”
"You still want to score three points?" Hougist asked.
"Of course!" As he spoke, Lang Dai made another three-pointer, and this time Haugist only made a symbolic save, which was more accurate than the last time, and it took a round of baskets to turn out.
Hougist caught the rebound and threw it back to Langday, "Come on, you'll be in the next one!" ”
"Seriously, I can't even tell if you're encouraging or sarcastic!" Rondle replied with the ball, then hit a third three-pointer from the same position. With the ball grinding with the Nets, the three-pointer finally hit.
"33% hit, not bad, much better than what I used to do!" Lang Dai said with satisfaction.
"How bad was your previous shot?" Hoggist shook his head helplessly, this hit rate was not a passing grade for him.
"The first two are trial shots, and the back will be more and more accurate!" Lang Dai said confidently.
Sure enough, Lang Dai's shooting rate slowly increased, and his shooting was almost 100 shots. Lang Dai is already tall and has long arms, although the dribble is poor, but one or two dribbles are still relatively stable, he can not prevent the pull-up jump shot of one or two steps in the middle and long distance, in fact, with his height and arm span, even if he shoots against the defense of Hoggist, it is difficult to interfere with him. Except for a few dribbles and steals, Lang Day hit all of his mid-range shots, and his three-point shooting percentage rose to more than 40%.
Hougist was not happy, "Don't just shoot!" Break through a few! ”
"Break, I don't need to defend myself when I break through, I can dribble the ball myself! I'm not going to do it! "Lang Dai is not Haugist's deaf.
"Then why don't you beat a few backs? I can't stop you just by shooting like this, but if you play next semester, there will always be someone taller than you and longer than your arm to stop you, right? "Hoggist is still doing good things.
"Okay, okay, as you wish!" As he spoke, Lang Dai began to sit with his back and beat Haugist.
Although Lang Dai couldn't withstand the back hit Hoggist, he dribbled for a longer time and had more opportunities to break the ball. So although Lang Day's Hougist is full of meat, Hoggist is also as fast as electricity, and every time he can find an opportunity to poke the ball out before Lang Day closes the ball.
"No, no, no!" Lang Dai threw down the ball and sat back on the bench, "I'm tired, I haven't hit a single one for so long!" ”
"You're tired, I'm about to be scared to death by you, and you have to put on my handsome face when you break your ball! If I hadn't dodged quickly, I would have almost been elbowed by you several times! "It's almost time, I won't play with you, you can practice your left hand dribbling yourself, I'll find my daughter-in-law!" ”
"Hoggist!" Lang Dai looked at Hogist seriously, "School will start in a few days, thanks to your care these days, I feel that I have improved a lot at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, not to mention the huge progress on the offensive end, even the defense I am best at has made a lot of progress, defending your offensive strong point, it is not a small benefit to the polishing of my defensive details, I guess I will bring a surprise to my teammates when school starts!" ”
"What a surprise! You're definitely going to be the core of the varsity team next semester, and the shooting I'm teaching can be worse? ”
"I'll leave after lunch, I'll see you on vacation when I have a chance!" Lang Dai. Hollis Jefferson and Hougist high-fived and hugged goodbye.
"Big brother, you have to have another lunch before you leave!" Joseph shouted from the sidelines.
"Your burger is delicious! Back in Arizona, I can't eat such a delicious burger! Lang Dai laughed......
