Chapter Twenty-Four: Clay's Dad's Training

Sitting in his seat, the more Bai Xiaonian thought about it, the more he felt that Clay's expression just now was wrong, how could he feel that there was a hint of insidiousness under his serious expression?

So after school, his friends, friends, and teammates took turns to torture Clay to extract a confession, but he didn't expect this guy to be a dead duck with a hard mouth, and he refused to say anything.

Bai Xiaonian looked at Clay with a sad look, raised his forehead and sighed: "Damn, why are these guys not normal lately?" I promised to go, should I go? Or not? ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Saturday arrived as scheduled, the weather was fine, but Bai Xiaonian's heart was covered with thick haze.

Clay's home in Malibu, an affluent neighborhood on the outskirts of the City of Angels, just seven miles from the Pacific coastline and close to the California Coast Highway, is the best place for Los Angeles to get away from the affluent people of the steel and concrete in contrast to the bustling Beverly Hills.

Following the address left by the Clay guy, Bai Xiaonian stood at the cobblestone intersection indicated by the address number on the door after going through the "many dangers" from Beverly Hills to Malib, and looked left and right to see Clay's guy waving to him on the balcony of a huge mansion.

When he got closer, it seemed that this was a large manor covering an area of more than 10 acres, in addition to the necessary garage, fountain, swimming pool, putting court and other conventional facilities of the mansion, there was actually a regular basketball court in the manor...

Clay ran down from upstairs and opened the door for Bai Xiaonian, and said happily: "Hey, I'm scared to death, I thought you weren't coming." As he spoke, he gave Bai Xiaonian a bear hug.

Bai Xiaonian's face darkened, and he hadn't settled accounts with him yet, so this guy hit him and said quietly: "You guy didn't tell me that day that your home is in this poor country!" Look at my thin arms and legs, I'm tired to death. ”

Clay smiled and said nothing, and dragged Bai Xiaonian into the house...

As he walked, Bai Xiaonian saw two curious heads on the balcony on the second floor, and couldn't help asking, "Are those two Clay your brothers?" ”

Clay glared at the second floor and smiled: "That's right, the tall one is my brother with the same name as my father and also called Mitchell, and the younger one is my brother Tracy, they are all great guys, I think you can get along quickly."

Entering the house, Bai Xiaonian also met Klay's father, who was watching the NBA live broadcast.

Mitchell Thompson, the 1978 champion, is a two-time champion. This former NBA player, who is now well-known in the announcer industry, is a white man who is more than 205 centimeters tall, and the kind smile on his face at all times makes his huge body not look scary, and he is very approachable.

In the Clay family, the three Thompson brothers got along with Bai Xiaonian unexpectedly easily, Clay's brother and younger brother have similar personalities to him, so the little white children's shoes are also very familiar with their appetite, as if the four have known each other for a long time, Bai Xiaonian joined only two minutes, and the whole room was already resounding in the noise of boys.

The lunch of the Clay family is not as rich as the Bai family, but the food made by the special Western chef is not bad, and the best Australian eye filet is oily and beautiful, seducing Bai Xiaonian's stomach, and enjoying a different kind of beauty in this beautiful landscape.

After lunch, the Clay family and Bai Xiaonian started a family routine, and all kinds of China once again caused exclamations in a foreign country...

Time walked in harmony, and looking at the watch in his hand, Clay's father stood up, patted his butt and said, "Then let's get started!" ”

β€œWhat? What to start? I thought I was just here to play? "Bai Xiaonian's heart is running wild with 10,000 grass and mud horses, and this guy Clay has pitted him again?

Clay touched the curly hair on his head, ignored Bai Xiaonian's resentful eyes, and explained slowly: "Well, I specially invited you to my house today, just to hope that you will share my father's special training for me..."

It turned out that in order to hone his son's basketball skills, Mitchell Thompson personally put on the battlefield and handled his son's basketball training, and how could it not be hard to train under the father of a former NBA star? And this guy Clay, in line with the principle of brothers and gangs sharing blessings and hardships, in accordance with the spirit of multiple people scattering more energy, pulled Bai Xiaonian over to be a top potsmith.

Everyone came to the outdoor basketball court, and the winter sun was warm and comfortable. Mitchell Thompson went to arrange the daily training of his three sons first, and then walked over to Bai Xiaonian, with a strange smile on his face.

Klay's dad is very interested in training potential young men, and hopes that these little bunnies can shine in their NBA careers in the future. When they heard that Clay had such a talented friend coming to their home training class, they nodded yes without hesitation, and decided to give him an extraordinary basketball lesson.

"Hey! Young man, your name is Bai Xiaonian, right? Come and shoot a basket and show me. Mitchell Thompson said gently, picked up a ball and threw it at Bai Xiaonian.

Bai Xiaonian heard that he caught the ball, jumped, and used his wrist hard, the basketball came out of his hand, the movements were stretched and smooth, and it was perfect in one go, the only deficiency was that the basketball smashed out of the basket, and the Los Angeles branch of Bai's blacksmith shop opened!

After seeing this picturesque action, Mitchell Thompson shook his head again and again, crying and laughing: "I said white boy, where did you learn this action?" ”

Mitchell Thompson picked up the ball again, dribbled to a high position, and said to Bai Xiaonian: "Look at it!" It's called a jumper. ”

After speaking, he got up, waited for his body to rise to the highest point, flicked his fingers, and the basketball entered the net with a strong backspin hollow. Bai Xiaonian looked at this shooting posture that was completely different from himself, why did it look so awkward, why don't I try it too?

Thinking about it, Bai Xiaonian also learned from Clay's father to wait for his body to rise to the highest point before making a move, desperately using his fingers to exert force, the basketball is like a rainbow... Three do not stick.

Picking at his head in embarrassment, he looked at Klay's father, this former NBA player definitely wouldn't lie to himself, and he must have some tricks he hasn't understood.

Mitchell Thompson looked at Bai Xiaonian with an eager face and laughed: "Boy, who told you that you made a mistake in your wrist?" Shooting is a process of whole body force, by no means a single muscle movement, from the leg into the squat, the force of the core muscles of the waist and abdomen, to the elbow, wrist, fingers of the three cooperation, so as to make a perfect shot, come again, you are still very early. ”

If Bai Xiaonian is enlightened, he will take the ball again and raise his hand to walk according to Clay's father's method.

Bang dang, strike iron again...

Mitchell Thompson clapped his hands encouragingly to signal the correct posture, and comforted: "Don't worry, little guy, you are not familiar with this way of power, practice a lot, the shooting rate will increase significantly, you must remember to correct these basic problems now in order to make you go further on the road of basketball in the future." ”

Bai Xiaonian nodded heavily, he knew this truth very well, and thought that in his previous life, there seemed to be a list of people called Ball, because of his strange shooting posture, he could still cope with the NCAA arena with less strength than the NBA, but as soon as he came to the NBA arena, he directly became a blacksmith, and cried a group of Lakers management who wanted to use him as the cornerstone of the team.

Thinking of these negative teaching materials, Bai Xiaonian hurriedly picked up the basketball and threw himself into the crazy iron, he didn't want to be a man like a ball brother...
