Chapter 33: The Whetstone
The team's scheduled training time starts at 18:30, but basically all the players come early to train.
At 17:30, Zhang Zifeng, who came to the training hall early, saw Hood walk into the stadium.
Taking advantage of the other party's single training, Zhang Zifeng walked over and shouted: "Hey, Rodney, your performance in yesterday's game was weak, and Lao Tzu's scores are higher than yours!" ”
Hearing that this bastard actually laughed at Lao Tzu's performance yesterday, and looked around at the eyes of the play, Hood was suddenly angry!
"Why, you want to do a fight!"
Zhang Zifeng shook his head and said, "No, no, no." I am a civilized person, how can I fight and do such a barbaric thing. But I'm just a little annoyed with your self-righteous appearance. ”
"Do you want to go it alone!" Hood said coldly.
This is just easily excited!
laughed wildly in his heart, but Zhang Zifeng still said contemptuously on the surface, "It's better not to want to, I'm afraid that when I blow you up, my face won't look good!" ”
Hu De angrily threw the ball in his hand at Zhang Zifeng, "Don't fucking nonsense, come on!" Let me see you garbage attack! ”
Attacking on his own, Hood does not necessarily have confidence.
The whole team is against each other, and Hood may not have the confidence to prevent Zhang Zifeng from running.
But if it is only about defending Zhang Zifeng, Hood is not afraid.
He knew how bad Zhang Zifeng's dribbling and stop-and-jump shot was under the defense.
"Since you sincerely invited, I'm not welcome, don't cry later." Zhang Zifeng shouted with a grin.
"No one will cry when the time comes!" Hood shouted viciously.
Seeing that the two were about to go head-to-head again, Duke's players immediately moved out of the way to watch the show.
Zhang Zifeng received the ball and observed Hood's position.
Hood sank down, he stretched out his index finger and hooked it towards Zhang Zifeng, and said, "Boy, let the horse come!"
Zhang Zifeng sneered and put down the ball, dribbled in front of Hood, and quickly took a small step to the upper left with his right foot, and Hood's center of gravity immediately moved in that direction.
Zhang Zifeng then used his left hand to dribble the ball from his crotch to his right hand, and after the ball reached his right hand, his left foot immediately changed direction, moved to the upper right, and lowered his head to block Hood's abdomen with his shoulder arm, so that he could not intercept his dribble and blocked his direction.
Zhang Zifeng dribbled the ball through his crotch, so that his body was at the same level as Hood, and then accelerated to the right and rushed inside.
was stuck by Zhang Zifeng with his body, and Hood couldn't use his body to block him from dribbling through. immediately stepped back horizontally, clinging to Zhang Zifeng, not giving him a chance to dribble comfortably.
The pressing defense made Zhang Zifeng feel very uncomfortable. He rushed inside and carried Hood's pull-up jumper.
Under Hood's defense, Zhang Zifeng did not jump enough, and he was reluctant to shoot.
The ball hit the rebound right on the rebound and bounced out.
Hood laughed maniacally, "This is your attack, don't laugh at Lao Tzu." ”
Zhang Zifeng originally wanted to use Hood to hone his fans, and he didn't care how arrogant and proud the other party was.
He picked up the basketball, but shouted in his mouth, "Lao Tzu can definitely beat you, but he hasn't moved just now." Go on! ”
During this time, Zhang Zifeng's level improved rapidly, and Hu De felt pressure.
Especially yesterday, Zhang Zifeng helped Duke win the victory in North Carolina, and Hood was even more like a thorn in the back and restless.
Today is a rare opportunity to humiliate Zhang Zifeng and let the coach look at his rotten offense.
Hood would not refuse at all, "Come on, don't think that your defense is good, let you see the true level of Lao Tzu today." ”
After Zhang Zifeng crossed the dribble, an acceleration broke through from Hood's left side and jumped near the free throw line to shoot.
Hood is 2.03 meters, 98 kilograms, and has an advantage over Zhang Zifeng in height and weight, and more importantly, his bounce is better than Zhang Zifeng.
He jumped up, and his raised palm put a lot of pressure on Zhang Zifengdi.
Afraid of being blocked, Zhang Zifeng didn't aim at the basket, so he hurriedly threw the ball.
Not surprisingly, the ball hit the mark.
Seeing that the ball didn't go in, Hood chattered in Zhang Zifeng's ear, "You can't score, can you!" What are you going to do? You can't do anything, can you? ”
Failed to attack one after another, even if he knew that he was using the other party, Zhang Zifeng looked at Hu De's arrogant appearance, and felt very unhappy, and shouted loudly: "Come again!" ”
……
Zhang Zifeng thought he had shaken off Hood and jumped up to shoot.
Unexpectedly, Hood jumped out from behind, jumped up and slapped the ball thrown by Zhang Zifeng away.
Hood shook his index finger at Zhang Zifeng arrogantly, looking disdainful.
In the ten offensive goals, Zhang Zifeng only scored 2, one of which was scored by chance.
Thinking back to the few attacks just now, Zhang Zifeng found that when he jumped to shoot, he deliberately pursued speed, causing his body to shoot without reaching the highest point.
And when shooting, he cares too much about the opponent's block, and is always afraid of being blocked, so he doesn't even aim and throws the ball out.
Thinking carefully about a few faults, Zhang Zifeng warned himself to pay attention, and went to Hood to fight alone.
Hu De couldn't wait for Zhang Zifeng to be humiliated by himself in front of everyone, and he would not refuse at all.
Time flies, 18:30.
When it was time for the team to practice, Wojciechoovs saw Zhang Zifeng and Hood fighting each other again.
He wanted to go over and stop them and let them train as planned.
Unexpectedly, Old K stopped him with one hand, he turned his head and asked Collison, saying, "What do you think?" ”
Collison thought for a moment and said, "He's using Hood to hone his dribble pull-up jumper, don't you see that he's been using the dribble pull-up jumper, and he doesn't even need to make a layup!" ”
Old K smiled and said, "An interesting little ghost, I hope he won't let us down!" ”
Until 19:50, before the whole team confrontation training. Zhang Zifeng did not score many goals under Hood's defense.
Today was the most comfortable day Hood had in a month, abusing the Chinese all night.
It was so good that Hood would never forget it.
Hood turned the ball with his index finger and said, "I had a lot of fun today, so I'll continue tomorrow!" ”
Zhang Zifeng saw Hood's smug face and hated it.
However, in order to improve his fans, Zhang Zifeng still pressed the unhappiness in his heart. said angrily: "I'm afraid of you!" If you continue tomorrow, you will continue! ”
Who called Lao Tzu is not strong now, and he will be humiliated if he is humiliated.
As long as Lao Tzu can improve his skills, he will definitely be ashamed, and even snatch your starters with him, so that you have no place to cry.
In the team's confrontation training, Zhang Zifeng was assigned to the position of small forward in the main first team.
'You've been doing really well in the past two months and you've helped the team a lot. So, Jack, you're going to start the next game as a striker. But don't think it's great to start, if you don't start well, I'll take you off and put you on the bench! So to stay in the starting line-up, you have to prove that you can still do well in the starting line-up! Do you understand? Lao K looked at Zhang Zifeng and said.
"Yes, Coach!" Wearing the jersey that represents the main force, Zhang Zifeng shouted excitedly.
Hearing that Zhang Zifeng was going to start, those players who would not be shaken in the starting position came over and patted Zhang Zifeng and said congratulations or words of encouragement.
The substitutes and reserve players looked at Zhang Zifeng, envious and encouraged.
Just a few months ago, this Chinese was just a reserve player, just like them.
Now that he has become the main force, does that mean that as long as he works harder, he will have the opportunity to start.
A real-life example of this is just around the corner, with Duke's backup players coming up with a big hand and working harder than ever in training.
Today's all-team confrontation training is mainly for the purpose of practicing new tactics.
Lao K explained the new tactics over and over again, while letting the players experience the actual combat in training.
Hearing the tactics with himself as the core, Hood smiled in his heart, the coach was really very wise, knowing that the Chinese was unreliable, and he still had to rely on himself at the critical moment.
Seeing that the new tactics designed by Lao K were based on Hood, Zhang Zifeng was very disappointed.
Damn, where the hell can't I compare to that bastard!
scolded Lao K in his heart for being blind, eccentric, and bastard......
On the court, Zhang Zifeng still ran according to the tactics.
But when it came to the second half of the drill, the tactical drill with Zhang Zifeng as the core.
Hood's face was full of unhappiness.
With Lao Tzu here, there is no need to design tactics with this Chinese as the core. I didn't see how Lao Tzu blew him up when he was singled out just now.
He doesn't have the ability to be the core at all.
wanted to open his mouth to persuade Lao K, but when he saw Lao K's stiff face, Hood didn't dare to speak.
Hearing that he wanted to take himself as the core, Zhang Zifeng was so happy that he almost announced the good news all over the world.
During training, Zhang Zifeng commanded the players to run with a smile on his face.
If it weren't for a bastard named Hood, who always couldn't get along with himself, didn't listen to commands, and fooled around.
Then everything was perfect.
However, he is the bastard who commands Hood.
Someone can.
Seeing that Hood did not follow the tactics three or four times, Lao K immediately called a timeout and turned on a hair dryer at Hood.
"Who told you to run like that, you don't know tactics?"
"What's the matter, you're deaf!"
……
"If you dare not execute according to the tactics, you will get out of me!"
Hood was yelled at and finally ran obediently according to the tactics.
The next day, the training hall.
As soon as Zhang Zifeng saw Hood, he just wanted to speak.
Hood, who looked unhappy, spoke first, "Hey, Chinese monkey, Lao Tzu is here." Today, I won't be scared and dare not come alone! ”
Looking at Hu De's arrogant appearance, Zhang Zifeng's face became very dark. I'm going to beat you today, you turtle grandson!
Well, dreams are beautiful, reality is cruel.
Today, Zhang Zifeng still couldn't find the basket under Hood's defense, and was ridiculed by Hood all night.
Back in the dormitory, Zhang Zifeng scolded the bastard for an hour in a video chat with Chen Wei.
"That turtle grandson, don't give Lao Tzu a chance, otherwise he will definitely be killed!"
"Bastard, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's opportunity to hone his skills, he would have been so arrogant. If you have the ability, you can attack, see if Lao Tzu doesn't reward you with ten or eight blocks, so that you can't get a point. ”
"That trash, Vivi, look at it, I'm going to teach a bastard a hard lesson tomorrow!"
……
Seeing Zhang Zifeng, who has always been full of confidence and a bit of a stinky fart, is now angry and losing his temper like a child.
Chen Wei was very surprised, and felt a little funny when she saw Zhang Zifeng scolding the street.
Chen Wei comforted him gently like a child.
"I know that Kaede has always done what she said she would. I believe you! ”
"The Feng Ke I know is a person with strong beliefs, and he will definitely win!"
Listening to Chen Wei's gentle voice, Zhang Zifeng's irritable mood calmed down and looked at her delicate face.
"I miss you, Vivi!"
Chen Wei looked at Zhang Zifeng, "I miss you too, Feng!" I really miss you! ”
Distance produces beauty, but too long a distance is a ditch that cannot be crossed.
Speak night after night, listen night after night.
When her voice sounded in her ears, it seemed so close and real, and when she reached out to touch it, but she couldn't touch anything, there was a feeling of pain in her heart.
Thinking can't be resolved with sound.
At this time, Zhang Zifeng felt very uncomfortable.
When chatting with Chen Wei, I always feel that time flies very quickly, and I always don't have enough free time.
China is 12 hours ahead of the United States, 13 o'clock on the Chinese side, and almost 1 o'clock in the morning on the American side.
Chen Wei cleaned up her mood and said, "Feng, you go to rest early." You've got to get up early tomorrow to work out, and I'm getting ready for class! ”
Zhang Zifeng nodded, "Well, good night, Weiwei!" ”
Chen Wei smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Feng!" ”
Turning off the computer with a smile and lying on the bed, Zhang Zifeng silently recited, "I want to make a name for myself, I want to participate in the NBA, I want to marry Weiwei......"
Call......
Voices rang out in the room.
Day 3.
Zhang Zifeng dribbled the ball steadily and looked at Hood's defense.
The ball in his right hand swayed from side to side, and his body swayed back and forth, making people not know which direction he should break through.
Hood's attention was immediately raised, and so many years of defensive experience taught him not to move now, waiting for his opponent's next move was the best strategy.
Zhang Zifeng saw that Hood was unmoved and didn't care, he didn't expect such a simple action to deceive Hood.
Zhang Zifeng suddenly stepped forward, came to Hood, took his left foot as the axis, and whirled.
Turn around and dribble, dribble two steps and create chances.
Push the heel of your left foot against the ground and make an emergency stop with the ball of your forefoot against the ground. Immediately after that, both legs exert force at the same time, and the body rises into the air.
Hood jumped up from his heels, pressed Zhang Zifeng with his chest, raised his arms high, and put pressure on Zhang Zifeng as much as possible.
I've been training for so long, and I don't know how many times I've fought Hood.
Zhang Zifeng slowly figured out how to maintain his balance when shooting under the pressure of the opponent.
Carrying Hood, Zhang Zifeng calmly maintained his shooting rhythm and threw the ball out.
A wonderful arc was drawn in the air, and the ball went headlong into the basket.
Seeing that the ball had scored, Zhang Zifeng's tense heart breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally got in.
Seeing the ball score, Hood shouted unhappily, "It's just a fluke to score a goal, come again!" ”
finally had the feeling of dribbling and stopping the jump shot, and Zhang Zifeng didn't want to end there.
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"
Although the shooting rate has improved, under Hood's defense, the shooting rate is not high, only a little more than 30%.
Day 4.
Swish!
The ball went in, and Hood shouted with an unkind face, "Come again!" ”
Swish!
The ball went in again.
Hood picked up the falling ball and smashed it to the ground.
"I don't believe it, you bastard feels so good today!"
Swish!
Looking at the floating net, Hood grabbed the ball with his hands in anger, and his hands were full of anger.
Under his force, the basketball was pressed into an oval.
This night, Zhang Zifeng felt good and exploded, and he felt that he could throw it in no matter how he threw it.
Even when he fouled Hood, Zhang Zifeng threw the ball into the basket indiscriminately.
Zhang Zifeng, who had been depressed for several days, finally had a good night tonight.
Hood's face darkened all night, and during the company's training, a little friction could detonate him.
He almost made a move with Green on the second team off the bench.
The fifth day, well, yesterday was just a blessing to Lady Luck with a lucky aura.
It's not normal at all, it's normal today.
Under Hood's defense, Zhang Zifeng maintained a forty-percent hit rate, and he was passable.
