Chapter Twenty-Four: Ilan's Tactics Lesson
I have to say that Lao Luo and basketball are really a bit incompatible.
When I was a child, I broke my leg because of slapping the ball (Lao Luo also threw this pot to basketball), I was bullied by a senior who played basketball when I was studying, and when I became an adult, I married a retired star of the women's basketball team, and I was obedient to the management for 20 years.
finally waited for his son to grow up and get ahead, and he suddenly fell in love with basketball, which he hated deeply.
The angry old Luo didn't have a good face, and Roy was punished to stand outside the door and reflect.
On a sweltering day, the scorching sun, Roy's family lives on the seventeenth floor, and the light is even more sufficient.
The only pastime is the basketball court of the Normal University not far away, which Roy used to have no feelings for, but now it looks like something different.
On the well-defined court, there is a large group of people sweating like rain.
Some of them are tall and mighty, while others are short and flexible.
Some are physically strong, and some are born with scuds.
The big man and the little man are pitted against each other and do not give in to each other.
The big player's goal is the penalty area, he wants to squeeze into the penalty area with his strength, the small player is behind him to hold him, the big player stands in position to ask for the ball, and the small player goes around to break the ball in front of him.
The simple offensive and defensive confrontation is full of meaning.
Is this what is called basketball tactics? Awesome, basketball strategy is definitely not an RPG game.
Unconsciously, Roy was attracted by these sets of purposeful and decisive offensive and defensive confrontations, and he was fully engaged and fascinated by them.
So much so that her mother Elan didn't notice it when she stood in front of her.
"Roy, what are you looking at outside?" Ilan was carrying two bags of side dishes, sweat streaming down her head.
Roy woke up from a dream.
"Mom, I'...... I was punished by my dad for standing......"
Roy stood in the doorway and told him what had happened.
Ilan smiled bitterly, it's basketball again, when did Roy become obsessed with basketball?
Yesterday? Day before yesterday? Three days ago? What suddenly changed him?
Shooting with a bottle, playing singles with yourself, and watching the ball with full attention was something that would have been unimaginable before.
"You're watching them play basketball?" Ilan followed Roy's line of sight and deduced that Roy was watching the game.
"Hmm." Unsurprisingly answered.
"What do you think of their fight?" When it comes to basketball, Ilan is also interested.
The mother and son braved the heat and chatted outside the house.
"They played so well......"
"What's so good?"
"There are rules in the offense, there are countermeasures in the defense, whether it is outside the penalty area, or in the penalty area, whether you want to break through the pass or shoot, there are very clear tactics, alas, ......"
Roy sighed softly, he was sighing why he couldn't understand these earlier, even if he knew a little basic defensive concept, he wouldn't be beaten by Leng Yihan.
Roy's slight change in expression certainly didn't escape Ilan's eyes, and she immediately guessed a thing or two.
"Are you out playing basketball again today?"
"Hmm."
"Won?"
"Lost ......"
"Oh?" This answer surprised Ilan, "Are you still in the mood to watch others play after losing?" Why didn't you choose to give up this time? ”
Ilan's impression of Roy, even if he suffers a small setback, will be depressed, and even choose to give up, for basketball, his performance is really abnormal.
Roy really changed, and his answer turned out to be "I want to win." ”
Win, this word Yilan has waited for a full eighteen years, from Roy's birth to adulthood, she always thinks that Roy can win, win at the starting line, if not, win in the middle, even if it is the worst, win in the final sprint.
However, what awaited me was disappointment again and again.
Just when Ilan thought that Roy was stereotyped and doomed to mediocrity, Roy actually said "I want to win".
Yilan heard the word "win" from Roy's mouth for the first time, and she couldn't help but be excited, is the child in front of her still Roy? Is she her own good-for-nothing stupid son?
"Tell Mom that you really like to play basketball?" Ilan couldn't hold back her joy, and when she said this, she felt her voice tremble.
"I like it."
Roy didn't hesitate to say the word "like."
Ilan's heart pounded.
But she has one final concern.
What if it fails again this time?
There's so much pressure to carry, and if he fails, who will pay for Roy's future?
She put down the side dishes, held up Roy's slightly immature face, and said affectionately: "Roy, tell Mom again, do you like to play basketball?" ”
"I like it."
is still the same answer, the simple word "like", at this moment it is like two nuclear bombs that destroy the world, blowing up the spiritual shackles in Yilan's heart.
Ilan was heartbroken and made a choice: "Roy, is it okay for mom to teach you how to play basketball?" ”
Teach me to play basketball?
This time it was Roy's turn to be surprised, how could that strict mother take the initiative to say the phrase "teach me to play basketball"?
Could it be that this is my mother testing herself?
"Mom, I have to test ...... in the evening," Roy replied cautiously.
"There's no rush to the test, there's still time, let's go, let's go to the basketball court now."
"But Daddy...... You still have to cook......" Ilan is so abnormal, Roy is worried, mom can't be stimulated by something, right?
However, my mother did not waver.
"Let's go, eat an hour late, and your dad won't starve to death."
The sun is setting, the sun is shining, the image of the mother Yilan is particularly bright and tall, Yilan's eyes are full of sincerity, there is no hesitation between the eyebrows, it is from the bottom of my heart......
……
In this way, Roy returned to the familiar basketball court of the Normal University.
Day and evening, shame and regeneration.
All the stories happen on this magical pitch.
Along the way, Ilan introduced Roy to a little bit of simple basketball terminology and tactical play, and even how to deal with Roy's questioning.
Ilan's plan is to take Roy to Normal University for special training every day after work every day, if Lao Luo has doubts, he will prevaricate under the pretext of exercising Roy's body, anyway, Lao Luo can't help Yilan at all.
Given Roy's excellent physical condition and the leaps and bounds of technical ability that he had acquired through unknown sources, Ilan decided to focus his training on tactical explanations.
After all, there are some things that cannot be practiced by training, one is talent, and the other is experience.
Roy's talent is unknown, but Ilan has a game experience that no one else can match.
This is the greatest treasure she left to Roy.
No. 5 in the women's basketball team, member of the domestic championship team, national player Yilan has 15 years of basketball career, 356 irregular games, 162 domestic league games, and 12 national competitions.
Now, pass it on to your precious son, Roy.
