Chapter 5 Lost Traces Section 28 The Guidance of the Superstar
The CHBL National Championship is in full swing: Shanghai's two teams, Guangming and Nanyang, both won the first round and entered the round of 16 together. In addition, the top 16 teams Guangzhou No. 22 Middle School, Shenyang No. 31 Middle School, Beijing Sports University High School, Guangdong Dongguan Middle School, etc. This year's team has increased to 32 from 24 last year. Each team will be in a head-to-head battle. For the first time, the final finals will adopt a best-of-five home and away system, following the CBA format, which will make the game more interesting.
Because of the conflict between time and the CHBL National League in China, many domestic high school basketball masters were not able to participate in this summer camp, and in addition to Li Xin and Zhuo Yifan, there was a familiar face in this summer camp.
Li Xin and Zhuo Yifan didn't pay attention to it before, and it wasn't until the third day that they watched the game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Charlotte Hornets, and when they took a photo with Jordan, Li Xin noticed the yellow-skinned teenager.
"Hello!" Li Xin decided to step forward to say hello.
"Hello!" The boy looked back. This young man with a similar height to Li Xin quickly recognized Li Xin:
"You're Li Xin, right?"
"You know me?"
"Of course! One of the 'Big Five' point guards in Shanghai high school basketball, who doesn't know. Not to mention the classic battle with Wu Sheng. Too many people know you, and you're a big star now. β
"Yes, yes?" Li Xin scratched his head embarrassedly.
"You, what middle school are you in Jinan? Summer?? β
"Well, I'm Xia Hongsen, the main scoring guard of Jinan Yuying Middle School. Do you remember me? β
"Of course, I've seen your fights, I watched your fights in last year's North China finals. Your quick three-point score is amazing, and you also have a nickname 'blood drops', which impresses me very much! β
"And your team this year?" Li Xin was embarrassed to ask directly if he didn't qualify, the same situation as Siyuan.
"Yes, it almost didn't show up again, there are too many strong teams in the North China Division! Didn't you also receive an invitation from the NBA to come to summer camp? If you qualify, you are busy with the game at this time, how can you have time to participate in the activities here. β
"Hey, do you know what the day after tomorrow will do? I'm sure it's a fun event. β
"What kind of activity, I don't speak English well, and I didn't hear clearly when the host said that the event was scheduled on the first day." Li Xin responded.
"Tomorrow there will be NBA stars to coach the summer camp trainees, and the day after tomorrow there will be a team match!"
"Which NBA star? What against the game? β
"Anyway, he is the star of the NBA, and he will definitely be ranked in the top 20 in the league. The match is said to be divided into four teams according to the country and region, and they play a single round-robin match with each other. β
"The top 20 players in the league? Wow, so excited! More excited than Li Xin was Zhuo who heard the news on the side.
With a lifetime of excitement, Zhuo also stayed awake all night, which NBA star will guide the students tomorrow?
After breakfast on the morning of the fourth day of the camp, the students went to the basketball hall to conduct regular training and games under the guidance of the coach. The students are very serious, and it seems that most of them have not received the news that there will be NBA stars coming to guide them today, until when the door of the arena is opened, seven or eight entourages push open the door and line up.
Mr. Jin, the person in charge of the summer camp, gave an order, and all the students stopped. And behind him walked two figures, one tall and one short. It wasn't until their faces became clearer that the gymnasium exploded.
Kevin. Durant! β
"Chris. Paul! β
That's right, it's the Oklahoma City Thunder's leading forward, Kevin. Durant and the Los Angeles Clippers' leading guard Chris. Paul came to the camp to mentor the students. and interact with the students.
This is really a surprise for the students:
NBA superstars show up on the court and teach themselves how to play basketball;
Kevin. Durant, as the current league's top forward, definitely has unparalleled physical talent, 208cm tall, 228cm arm span, which would be a nightmare for any defender.
For young students who already have a considerable basketball foundation, there is no need to teach ordinary basketball skills. Of course, NBA stars will be teaching some of their housekeeping skills today, such as Durant's skill of how to shoot from the ground in a stop-up situation and maintain a high shooting percentage.
And Chris. Paul has all the qualities of a good defender, a strong mental quality, and often maintains a consistent shooting percentage when it matters most. The breakthrough is also very sharp. In addition, Paul is extremely good at stealing, which plays an important role in the team's defense. His excellent three-point shooting skills are also one of his lethal weapons, and Paul has a passing vision that no other guard can match, as well as excellent big-picture vision and playmaking skills.
Today, he teaches the skill of how to accurately judge the dribbling and passing lines of dribblers and improve the success rate of tackles.
One by one, the students are earnestly learning from the superstars, and the stadium is sometimes silent, sometimes excited.
After more than half an hour of teaching, it was the turn of the climax. Durant and Paul will pick two of them at will be their teammates. Form two teams to play a three-on-three match.
"Who's going to be my teammate?" Paul asked.
"Me! I! I! More than 80 students scrambled to raise their hands.
"Oh, it's you! Paul pointed to a tall black teenager! β
βYES! YES!β The boy stepped forward excitedly!
"Hey man, what's your name?" Paul asked.
"Hi Chris! Hi! Dear students, my name is LaMarcus. LaMarcus Afflalo, from Gilbert College of Classical Studies, Arizona, USA, plays as a power forward, 6'8" (203cm), 230 pounds (105kg)"
"One more, just you!" Paul pointed to Zhuo Yifan again.
"Me?!" Zhuo Yifan looked around, but he was not sure that he was the one who was chosen.
"Yes, don't look at anyone else, it's you!" Paul confirmed it again.
"Wow!" Zhuo clenched his fists excitedly and jumped forward.
"Alright, introduce yourself!" Durant handed the microphone to Zhuo Yifan first.
βHelloοΌ Hello everyone! My name is Zhuo Yifan, I am from China, and I have just been in Los Angeles for 2 months. It turned out that I was playing basketball in a high school in Shanghai, I was a power forward, 193.5cm tall and 88kg in weight!" Zhuo introduced himself in fluent English, which was unexpected by Li Xin, but he didn't expect that Zhuo's speaking level had improved so much in such a short period of time.
"Okay, welcome Zhuo Yifan to join us."
"OK, man! Now you're my teammates, and our team is now called Team Paul! "Team Paul is complete.
"Alright, now we're going to pick my teammates! Who wants to be my teammate? Durant asked.
There was another scramble to raise hands.
"It's you!" Durant pointed to a brown-and-yellow teenager!
"Tell us about yourself, right?" Adu pointed the microphone at the boy.
"Hello everyone! I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, my name is Leonardo. Leandro Raissa, 187cm tall and 82 kg, I am a shooting guard. β
"Welcome to join us!"
"Choose one more! That's you! Adu pointed to a white teenager.
"What about you? Tell everyone, what's your name? β
"Hi guys! My name is Alexander. Alexander Lucas is from the Galilee High School in the Seine department of France, I play as a small forward, 195cm tall and 92kg in weight. β
"Okay, now that you two are my teammates, we're going to work together against Team Paul." The Durant team was also formed.
The game is played on a 21-point scale, with the team that scores 21 points first wins. The scoring rules are the same as those of regular basketball: 2 points from inside the three-point line, 1 point from the free throw line, and three points from beyond the three-point line. There are no foul restrictions.
Zhuo Yifan may never have dreamed of having an opportunity to play with NBA stars in front of his eyes. The other side is another NBA star.
Team Paul, Member: Chris. Paul (183cm back), LaMarcus. Avraro (203cm center), Zhuo Yifan (193.5cm forward).
Right
Team Durant, Member: Kevin. Durant (208cm forward), Leonardo. Raissa (187cm back), Alexander. Lucas (195cm forward).
Paul stared at Durant and said with a smile, "Are you ready?" β
Durant also responded easily, and said with a smile: "Let's start, let me see if you will win this game!" β
"What are they talking about?" Li Xin asked a yellow boy next to him, who looked like he was also a Chinese and might know Chinese.
The yellow boy translated it to Li Xin.
The opening words of the two sounded like jokes, but Li Xin felt that the two NBA superstars were not as simple as ordinary play.
"Thank you! My name is Xin Li and I am from Shanghai, China. Where are you from, can you speak Chinese is Chinese? Li Xin asked about the origin of the young man just now.
"Hello Mr. Li! My name is Li Xuemin, I am from Taipei Songshan High School, I play a point guard at school, I am 191cm tall, I am very happy to meet you, I hope there will be a competition in the future activities! β
"Hello, hello!" Li Xin stretched out his hand to the other party and asked again.
"Songshan High School, I seem to have heard of it, is it the champion team of the Taiwan High School League last year?"
"I didn't expect Li to know so much about Taiwanese high school basketball, and we were lucky to win the championship of the HBL high school league last year."
Li Xin turned his gaze back to the arena.
A fun three-on-three match is about to begin.
Two coaches from the summer camp refereed the game, and a whistle blew the game. (To be continued.) )
