Chapter 5: The Lost Section 120 Challenging McKins

After Zhuo Yifan received the "Qianmo" system, he and Caron. McConnell and Aaron. Nolan immediately began special training. Every day after school, the two of them had special training in the basketball hall rented by Zhuo. In order to test the success of their special training, the two will also find opponents on and off the basketball court to challenge each other three-on-three. The three of them made rapid progress, and soon few opponents in the school could defeat them. Of course, it does not include the school team, which is too busy with special training every day, so how can I have time to play three-on-three bullfighting with students outside the field. This reminded Zhuo Yifan of the scene when he met Li Xin and Xia Jun when he first entered high school three years ago, when the three of them didn't know each other and teamed up together to participate in the "Siyuan Xia Cup" three-on-three competition. It's been three years, and I'm already a college student.

I was already very tired when I went home after training every day, and lying in bed after taking a shower, Zhuo Yifan would always chat with Li Xin and Xia Jun. Let's exchange the experience of using the "Qianmo" system.

Although I am not a member of the varsity team, I am still allowed to go to the team for training. Zhuo Yifan, McConnell and Nolan all went to the gymnasium every once in a while to watch the school's training. And compare the player's situation with his own current situation, and consult each other with opinions and suggestions.

Although the three players selected for this year have been confirmed, what if the player is injured or some other reason to withdraw? Isn't there still a chance? Under the influence of Zhuo Yifan, the three did not give up any opportunity to join the team. But unfortunately, this situation did not occur for nearly two months.

On this day, the three of them sat in their seats by the gymnasium as usual and watched the team's daily training.

"None of the players have any injuries or withdrawals, so I don't think we have a chance!" McConnell said, folding his hands behind his head.

"Yes, we insist like this every day, is there a necessity?" Nolan said.

"What, do you want to give up?" Zhuo Yifan asked rhetorically.

"No, no, that's not what it meant. I mean there's no empty slots, so shouldn't we be spending so much energy on training and doing something else? Nolan explained.

"You've been making rapid progress during this time, haven't you?" Zhuo said.

"That's true, but there's no chance right now, and there's a lot to do besides playing."

Zhuo Yifan stretched out a hand to block Nolan's continued speech: "OK, I respect your choice." But I'm not going to give up, I'm going to keep training and even if no one quits the team or is injured, I still have another plan. ”

"Oh, what's the plan?"

"I'm going to challenge a team's starter if I beat him. I believe that the coach will see that the real gold will always shine. ”

Nolan's eyes widened and asked, "You're not crazy, are you?" ”

At this time, the corners of Zhuo's mouth had risen to an extreme angle and said, "Of course I'm not crazy!" Just wait! ”

McConnell and Nolan looked at each other, and the Asian in front of them was even more flamboyant than they Americans imagined.

"That's... So who do you want to challenge? Noren asked cautiously, he really couldn't imagine the name of any of the main players.

Zhuo Yifan stood up and pointed to the first-year newcomer on the court, Damian, who was admitted to the school with basketball expertise. McKins: "I'm going to challenge Damian. McKins! Zhuo's voice was not quiet at all, even a little loud. Nolan hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered, "You're really crazy, you should be quiet, what if he hears it?" ”

"Hear? I just want him to hear it! Zhuo's voice was a little louder.

McKins seemed to hear someone in the audience commenting on him, and turned his head to look at Zhuo Yifan. At first glance, it was Zhuo Yifan, isn't this the Chinese teenager I met in the NBA summer camp last summer. McKins reached out to Zhuo Yifan to say hello, just like to a fan.

"Damian. McKins! Zhuo called McKins' name so loudly that he could be heard throughout the venue.

β€œhatοΌŸβ€ McKins wondered why he was calling his name out loud.

"This Friday at 5 p.m., right in this gym, I'm going to challenge you, ONE ON ONE? Don't you dare to accept the challenge! Zhuo Yifan's voice resounded throughout the gymnasium.

"Crazy, crazy!" Nolan clutched his head and screamed in pain.

"What? WANT TO BE ONE ON ONE WITH ME? McKins didn't believe what he heard, and then he realized that Zhuo wasn't joking, smiled and stretched out a thumbs to point at Zhuo Yifan, and then suddenly flipped 180 degrees and poked his thumb down.

"Excellent! I accept the challenge! McKins grinned.

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" McKins whispered, and only his teammates around him could hear him. After that, there was a loud and loud voice, and they laughed at the incompetence of this oriental boy. A guy who can't even pass the team selection actually has the courage to challenge the hopeful star that the team focuses on cultivating this year.

"Friday, see you or leave! Hey! Zhuo Yifan smiled.

"Then there is no way back for yourself!" Zhuo left the arena with McConnell and Nolan with a relaxed face.

Friday is coming quickly, and Zhuo Yifan is really ready to fight against Damian. McKins yet?

17-year-old black teenager Damian. Damian McKins, from California, plays as a forward, sharp offense, changeable offensive means, good defensive ability, 197cm, 95kg, was hailed as one of the top high school students in California last year, and was invited to participate in the NBA summer camp of the United States team, and has even entered the scope of some NBA scouts, maybe before graduation will go to the NBA draft.

With such an opponent, can Zhuo Yifan really defeat it? You must know that his biggest achievement before was only reaching the national quarterfinals with the team in Siyuan Middle School and being selected for the substitute team of the CHBL South Stars. Not to mention the difference in the level of high school leagues in China and the United States, even in China, Zhuo Yifan is not a top high school student. Even lost to Li Xin in heads-up last year, and now, in such a short period of time, has he really made so much progress? Where did his bursting self-confidence come from?

The answer to all these questions will only be verified in Friday's episode of ONE ON ONE. The news soon spread throughout the school. All of this credit is due to McKins: "He will destroy this boy in front of the whole school!" ”

It was not yet five o'clock on Friday afternoon, and the school's gymnasium was already packed. McKins was already waiting in the arena, and at 4:55, Zhuo Yifan entered everyone's sight, but he was greeted with a burst of boos.

Zhuo Yifan was unmoved, and smiled, waving to the students around him who were watching the excitement, and of course to his opponent McKins. Then I started warming up on the sidelines.

McKins crossed his hands over his chest and didn't do a warm-up exercise, just smiled with a little malice. Zhuo finished warming up and walked up to McKins, he finally spoke: "Boy, how do you compare?" ”

"Five balls in one game, two out of three games. 1 point per ball, 2 points for threes. ”

"One game is fine, why bother with two wins in three games, and a net win of two points is considered a win." McKins spread his hands, looking a little impatient.

"OK, it's all right, it's all right!" Zhuo nodded, agreeing with McKins.

Zhuo Yifan took out a brand-new standard NBA game Spalding basketball from his shoulder bag, ran back and forth and dribbled a few times, and asked, "What, don't you do a warm-up?" ”

"Do you still need to warm up?" McKins said coldly.

Zhuo Yifan dribbled the ball, saw Noren who came to watch the game on the sidelines, and greeted: "Hi, Nolen! Be our judges! ”

Nolan pointed to his nose blankly and said, "Me?!" ”

Yifan nodded, brought Nolan to McKins, and said, "Let him be the referee, no opinion!" ”

"Whatever!?" McKins dropped a sentence coldly.

After a while, Zhuo Yifan returned to McKins and handed the ball to him: "Come on, let's start!" ”

The noise of the audience reached a climax, among which there were also boos, cheers, cheers, mixed together, and it was no longer distinguishable.

McKins passed the ball to Zhuo Yifan and said, "Come On!" "The game is officially on.

Zhuo calmly dribbled the ball and attacked from the right side, and when McKins posted it in the middle distance, Zhuo Yifan immediately turned to a back single. McKins stretched out one hand to defend and just lightly rested the other hand on Zhuo's waist and didn't press his opponent very closely. After resisting twice, McKins' position did not waver, Zhuo Yifan suddenly grabbed the ball with both hands, shook his shoulders left and right, jumped out of his hand after turning over and retreated, and McKins stretched out a hand to jump up and block. But he didn't touch the ball, and could only watch the ball fly over his head to the basket.

"It's off, it won't go in, get ready to grab a rebound!" McKins thought to himself, turning around and putting Zhuo Ding behind him. The ball didn't fly towards the center of the basket, but towards the rebound, hitting the upper right corner of the blind and bouncing into the basket.

1:0 Zhuo Hehe smiled, as if such a goal was easy and not difficult.

"Good luck, boy, you won't have that much luck next!" Zhuo passed the ball to the opponent in the middle circle and took on the first defensive task.

McKins also broke through from the right side, only stepped into the three-point line two steps away, and singled the opponent with his back, first dangling left, Zhuo Yifan quickly made up for the shooting route, and then switched to the right side, Zhuo's speed was very fast, and he didn't give the opponent any chance. Dangling to the left again, he still couldn't get rid of Zhuo's defense, and the last time he shook right, he might be forced by the opponent to move the pivot foot and cause him to walk. Take a step back and make the same step-back jumper. The shot point was very high, Zhuo couldn't block it, and he could only watch the ball fly to the basket.

"Wow", the ball hollows into the net! Although McKins encountered Zhuo's tight defense, he still used the same back-to-back single-hander to catch a step-back jumper and return the favor with the other, which was simply a naked provocation.

McKins smiled, spread his hands and shrugged, returned to the center circle, and returned the ball to Zhuo Yifan.

1:1。 Zhuo Yifan attacked directly from the middle this time, striding forward, trying to shake off the opponent with speed, McKins was close to him, but there was no good defensive position, so that Zhuo had the opportunity to jump directly to the basket, just jumped together, raised his hand and wanted to make a high-point layup, but his black hand was stretched out in front of him to block almost all the lines. Zhuo Yifan immediately stopped, from under the black hand, wrapped the ball around the other side, a backhand layup, with both hands with a flick of the ball with a strong rotation, the ball hit the rebound, and rebounded to the basket, after a few bumps, it still went into the basket.

2:1。 "Not bad! There are two brushes! At this time, McKins realized that he was underestimating Zhuo Yifan. This move, which is often made by guards to dodge in the air and go to the rebound, he actually learned it as a power forward.

Zhuo Yifan served in the middle circle and then gave McKins, only to see McKins dribble directly backwards, and shoot directly with a step back.

"What? That's it! Zhuo looked back at the basketball, overhead, flew to the basket, only smashed the rebound, and bounced into the basket. A three-pointer. Zhuo really didn't expect his opponent to score like this.

Zhuo recalled the NBA games he used to play, and when he was playing on the computer, he would often make this trick and step back directly to make a three-point shot. It was negligent in actual combat, and it should not be. I only blame myself for not concentrating enough, so that the opponent picked up a leak

3:2 McKins took the lead with this goal.
