Although he was 15 points behind in the first half, Li Xiaolong's face showed a smile, he was able to play like this with the strong team of the college that year, and in the case of a large difference in height in the rest of the positions except for the point guard, he was not afraid of the opponent, dared to fight, if it was not for the lack of experience in the latter part of the game and the opponent scored continuously, the gap would not have reached 15 points.

"It is worthy of being one of the top four of Shanghai University that year, although I haven't played well for a few years, but the ability is there!" Xia Jun still praised his opponent's performance.

"Yes, this is the university I've always wanted to go to."

"The coach and Brother Jun Yi are really well-intentioned in this practice match, and the playing style of this team is somewhat similar to that of Wusheng High School. It is very targeted to use such an opponent as a sparring partner for us. For example, in the center position, Cao Zhixiang's height and strength are very similar to Wusheng's He Chaoyun, and they both belong to the power-type center. And small forwards Mu Xiang and Shangguan Yun are like Jiang Chengyi and Wang Linzhou of Wusheng, who are extremely fast and good at playing fast attacks. Han Chongyu saw at a glance the coach's intention to arrange such a team to warm up.

"And their overall height is very high, which is also very similar to Wusheng High School. It's something we need to get used to. Li Xin added.

"Well, everyone should have seen the matchup table posted by Xiaoxue just now, if we can enter the third round, then if nothing else, we should meet Wusheng High School. Whether we can go further or not, the most important thing is this game. ”

"It turns out that the coach has already set his sights on Wusheng High School, and has already found an imaginary opponent for the team."

"It was good in the first half and we continued to work hard in the second half." Li Xiaolong came to the surrounding players, although he was quite satisfied with the performance of the players, but there are always loopholes and defects, of course, an experienced coach like Li Xiaolong will not let go of the opportunity to correct the team's defects, and tell the players one by one the shortcomings of the first half performance:

"In the first half, there were too many holes in the inside, and the second offense that was grabbed by the opponent to get a rebound in the front court scored a total of 10 points, which was a big problem. Any idea what the ratio of rebounds was in the first half? As he spoke, Li Xiaolong took a statistical data from Tian Jianzhong's hand:

"At 28:18, we were a full 10 behind, including seven rebounds in the frontcourt."

"Although our inside height is not as good as the opponent's, it doesn't necessarily mean that our rebounds are going to lose to the opponent, Zhuo Yifan's bounce should be above the opponent's inside player, just to grasp the timing of the jump, and at the same time stick to the opponent's waist, with the elbow against the opponent's waist, to limit the opponent's power and jump." Li Xiaolong made an elbow motion as he spoke.

"Dapeng controlled the backcourt rebounds, Zhuo Yifan rushed to the frontcourt rebounds, and took back the advantage of rebounding, once the rebounds were controlled, the advantage of this game will be tilted to our side."

Siyuan's coach and players are carefully discussing the team's technical and tactical arrangements, as the original team to participate in the practice match, there is no pressure of the game, and the mood is relatively relaxed, and the old teammates who have not seen him for many years have met, Zhou Junyi is more about the recent situation of his former teammates.

"My brothers have been fine for the past few years, why did 8 people come today? Why didn't Zhang Quanyi and Fan Wenling come? Zhou Junyi patted Mu Xiang's shoulder and asked.

"I'm afraid Zhang Quanyi won't be able to come, he is a busy man now, a big celebrity. It won't be long before I don't say you know what he's doing. ”

"Why are you going around in circles with me? What the hell did he do? ”

"He recently tried out with the Shanghai Sharks, and it is said that the head coach takes a fancy to him and is about to sign a contract, maybe he is still a main player, and he is going to participate in the CBA."

"This kid, I haven't seen him for a few years, he's really good at mixing, he's probably the best of us."

"What about Fan Wenling?"

"He's lucky, he used to play in a local team in the CBA B League, and some time ago he broke his fibula in the calf while training and was lying at home. Of course not. If you say a word from Brother Jun, of course we can come. ”

"That'...... Is there any news of Pengfei? When it came to his former siblings, Zhou Junyi was a little hesitant, which reminded him of the regrets he had done in the past.

Everyone shook their heads, it had been 6 years and there had been no news.

"Well, this high school team isn't bad." Zhou Junyi changed the subject.

"Well, that's good, the high school team has such a level, I think we were far inferior to them in high school, right? Ayun. Liu Yongtao smiled and nodded at Shangguan Yun, and the atmosphere became relaxed again.

"Well, that No. 4 is the captain, his scoring ability is really good, and if he comes to our school now, he must be the absolute main force. There is also the No. 9, the basket is very accurate, and the consciousness is good, but the body is a little thinner. ”

"I think the number 10 is also very good, although he doesn't score much, but about half of the attack is related to him, the passing is good, the ball is also very skillful, and the awareness on the field is even better."

Han Chongyu, Xia Jun and Li Xin were all impressed by the players of the former Jiaotong University, this was the first time they had seen these three people, but what they could meet was that it would never be the last.

At the beginning of the second half, Zhuo Yifan and Peng Chenzhi implemented the intention requirements of the midfield coach well, and the backcourt rebounds were basically controlled, but the frontcourt rebounds were still lacking.

In the first half of the game, Siyuan's attack is more lacking in the inside attack, although Peng Chenzhi has been playing steadily and has been the main center of the team, but in Li Xiaolong's eyes, Da Peng lacks an aggressiveness, so when facing a strong team in the national league, he will suffer very much.

"Da Peng, hold the ball, don't pass the ball, resist inside." As soon as Peng Chenzhi received the ball, Li Xiaolong shouted at him on the sidelines.

The coach's order really didn't dare to disobey, Peng Chenzhi only dared to resist inward, only 90 kilograms of weight of Da Peng is 23 kilograms lighter than Cao Zhixiang, who is 113 kilograms, if it is in a boxing match, the two are not at the same level at all. I couldn't resist it, I only threw it hard, but I was firmly covered with a big hat.

"Hey!" Li Xiaolong shook his hand in disappointment, watching the opponent launch an attack, Shangguan Yun quickly attacked, if this game is a victory with Wu, the weakness of the center's attack may be fatal.

The game is going on little by little, although the opponent makes frequent substitutions, but whether it is 203cm Cao Zhixiang and 197cm Liu Yongtao guarding the inside line, or 197cm Liu Yongtao and 188cm Mu Xiang taking on the heavy responsibility, or even 189cm Li Weiyang and 188cm Mu Xiang cameo inside, Siyuan can not really occupy the advantage of the inside line, and the score mostly depends on Li Xin, Xia Jun and Han Chongyu on the periphery. As long as anyone with a little common sense of basketball knows this truth, the team that combines inside and outside is the real strong team; Otherwise, a team with a lame foot will not go far no matter what.

"How can I improve the team's interior in a short period of time??" Such a major difficulty was placed in front of Li Xiaolong and Siyuan's coaching staff.

"Peng Chenzhi's intensive training is only a little more than a week away, and it is almost impossible for Peng Chenzhi, who has formed a stereotyped playing pattern for a long time, to change it in the short term."

In addition, a very important part of the strength of the interior line is the physical condition of the center, compared to other positions, the center position has almost the highest physical requirements for the player. Looking at the NBA's super centers, 210cm and above are absolutely dominant, although Mourning and O'Neal were known as the reproduction of Russell of the Celtics and Chamberlain of the Lakers in the 60s of the last century, but 216cm, more than 300 pounds O'Neal is undoubtedly more dominant than only 208cm, 260 pounds of Mourning, and in the confrontation between Russell and Chamberlain, Chamberlain also has the upper hand, and his height is also 216cm. And to break O'Neill's dominance was a giant from China who was 10 centimeters taller than O'Neill and weighed more than 300 pounds, Yao Ming. The importance of the physical condition of the center can be seen.

Although Peng Chenzhi worked very hard, Zhuo Yifan was also struggling to scramble, but the veteran original team still did not give the two more scoring opportunities on the inside, which always put the initiative in the hands of the opponent, and the performance of the two in defense was much better than in the first half, so the score was not further expanded.

Siyuan struggled to catch up behind his opponent throughout the game, and finally lost 106:84 by 22 points. Although facing a former college team, it is not easy to play like this, but in the 40-minute game, it is easy for the opponent to score more than 100 points, which can show that there are big loopholes in some aspects of Siyuan, originally invited such a team to play a practice game, just to find out the loopholes through the game, from this game, this effect is indeed achieved, but it is extremely difficult to solve these loopholes.

The day after tomorrow, there will be another competition with the original Jiaotong team, is the result still the same as today?

Zhuo Yifan took a half-day off that afternoon, it turned out to be his father Zhuo Qunyue, the CEO of a well-known domestic Internet company, who had just returned from a visit to the United States, but Zhuo didn't know that his father's return this time also brought a great news, and this news would surprise everyone.

After Zhuo Yifan, who returned home, tidied up a little, his mother He Beiyan drove the mother and son to Pudong Airport together.

The mother and son waited for their father to appear at the security checkpoint, and after a while, a tall and tall middle-aged man appeared at the security checkpoint. His father has been abroad for more than a month, and when he sees his father again, Zhuo Yifan is of course very excited, and he has always admired such an excellent father very much in his heart. The father also waved his hand to his son, but he didn't immediately come out of the security checkpoint, as if he was still waiting for someone, could it be that he brought the guest back this time?

Zhuo's father, Zhuo Qunyue, is 185cm tall, but a figure appeared behind him, and his height of 185cm was immediately dwarfed, and what appeared behind him was a middle-aged black man in a straight suit, but his demeanor was elegant, and he kept communicating with Zhuo Qunyue in English while undergoing the security check, it seemed that he should be his father's business partner. And when the black man finished the security check, there was a taller middle-aged black boy, Zhuo looked at the black boy from top to bottom: judging from the dress, a pair of American street hip-hop style fat pants, a loose sweatshirt with big CAVALIERS23 written on it, and a white hairband tied on his head, like LeBron, the star of the Cleveland Cavaliers. James, there is still childishness on his young face, presumably he is about the same age as Zhuo.

All three of them passed through the security check, and the father finally introduced each other to each other.

"This is the head of the China office assigned by the American investment company. Mccarthy. ”

"This is his son, his name is ......"

“Nihao,Nicetomeetyou,I’mMichael. MichaelMcCarthy.” An enthusiastic American teenager took the initiative to extend his hand as he spoke.

Zhuo also stretched out his hand, one black and one yellow, clasped tightly together. And this is Zhuo Cai who feels that the other party's hand is so big that he can't grasp it at all.

“Ni…… Nicetomeetyou,too. MynameisZhuoYifan.” Zhuo replied in stiff English.

"In order to cooperate with the process of the company's international expansion, the American investment company is specially preparing to set up an office in China this time, and Sam is the person in charge for a two-year term."

"And that's where they stay?" Zhuo's mother asked

"Yes, he will stay in Shanghai for two years, and he has not yet found a place to live in Shanghai, and now our family is staying temporarily for the past two days, and in two weeks, his wife and other children will also move in when they settle down."

“Howoldareyou?” Zhuo spoke a stiff foreign language again.

“I’m17yearsold. Ilovebasketball.MyfavorateNBAStarisLeBronJames.Andhowaboutyou,Youlooksverytall.Maybeyouplaybasketball,either? AmIright?”

The overseas guests talked a lot and a fast, and Zhuo immediately felt dizzy, but fortunately, his father was present and relieved his son. After understanding what the other party meant, Zhuo hurriedly said, "Yes, Yes!"

"Friends from the United States can still love to play basketball, and they are so tall, wow, it's really fateful to meet thousands of miles away, I don't know what the other party's level is, but the level of American basketball is so high, it should be almost the same, I really want to play with this black boy right away." After learning that the other party also likes to play basketball, Zhuo's heart is excited. ”

And the next news that his father said surprised Zhuo even more:

"Michael will study in Shanghai in the next two years, he is also a sophomore in high school like you this year, originally planned to let him enter the corresponding foreign Chinese middle school, but as soon as he heard that the basketball level of those schools is not very good, he immediately changed his mind, I told him that your school's basketball level is good, and he has also played in the national league, he plans to come to your school."

"Come to our school?? It's true? ”

"When did Daddy cheat on you? In order to come to China this time, he also specially studied Chinese for half a year, but he is still very rusty, so I hope you and your partners will take good care of him, of course, he will also ask the teacher to tutor him for homework. ”

"So when will you enroll?"

"I'll be able to enroll as soon as tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow? But the school is on vacation! ”

"Yo, I forgot about that, so I'll have to wait for your school to open and then discuss it with your principal."

Looking at this teenager's physique, this dress, as long as you are not an idiot, you can see that this black teenager's basketball level is not bad, if you can join the Siyuan team at this time, won't it be like a tiger in the national competition? Thinking of this, Zhuo naturally couldn't let go of this young man, and he had to join Siyuan immediately.

"No, he must join our school." Zhuo told his father everything he thought.

Zhuo Qunyue still loves his son very much, and of course, he also hopes that his son's school basketball team can achieve good results. In the car, he called Li Xiaolong, the director of physical education and research, Mr. Zhao, and the principal and academic director of Siyuan. Hearing the news that the outstanding black teenager was going to join the Siyuan basketball team, the leaders who supported the school's sports career from top to bottom naturally let him go all the way, and verbally agreed on the phone, and promised to come to the school the next day to release this special student. Michael. McCarthy has no problem joining Si Yuan, so what is his true strength?
