"Soaring Eagle!" The four of them spoke in unison.

"This is Lei Kefeng, this is Shirakawa! I think you all know each other! They were specially invited by me! It's a pity that Mu Zheng didn't come because of something, so he asked White to replace him. Zhou Daodao.

"The main center and power forward of the third place in the city's high school league, and the main striker of the city's runner-up are all related to the mysterious man in front of him, so it seems that this man is really not an ordinary character." Li Xin looked the man in front of her up and down, wondering who he was?

"It's ...... Do you want us to play against them? Zhuo Yifan, who has always had no one in his eyes, actually had a trace of fear in his tone.

"What, no faith?"

"How so? It's just that they don't seem to be high school students! ”

"Oh, if you don't say it, I didn't pay attention, I'm 1.92 meters." Saying that, Zhou Junyi went to the big man of more than 1.95 meters and compared. "Looks a little taller than me!"

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, Lei Kefeng should be 1.98 meters, and Shirakawa is 1.95 meters!"

"yes, White is 1.96 meters." Zhou Ru added to the fire.

"Basketball isn't just about height! Allen of the Philadelphia 76ers. Iverson is only 1.83 meters, the MVP of the year in 2001 and led the team to the finals against the Los Angeles Lakers, who had won the first game on the road against an undefeated team in the playoffs. And the winner of the 1986 slam dunk contest was not 'Flyer' Michael. Jordan is also not the Dominic who is known as the 'human essence movie'. Wilkins, but the 'potato' Spad, who is only 1.70 meters tall. Webb, and 'Smiling Assassin' Isaiah. Thomas is only 1.85 meters tall, and it is his presence with the Detroit Pistons that makes Michael . Jordan's Bulls got nothing in their first seven years in the NBA. ”

"Let me tell you, this 'ragtag army' is very tall, but it has no guards, and its outside shooting is very poor, if you can force them to the perimeter, they won't be able to play." Zhou is obviously helping the "Lanmeng Boy".

"It's just practice, don't take it seriously, in my opinion, Zhuo Yifan, Chi Shengwei and Xia Jun will go first. Just play well in your usual way, pay attention to the outside offense, the inside defense! Zhou was cheering up the four of them in every word.

"If there is no problem, then the limit is fifteen goals in the half, and whoever scores 15 points first wins, and a three-point shot counts as two points, and a best-of-three game. In the game, you serve first, and I will be the referee. Zhou was holding a Spalding basketball with a whistle around his neck and was ready to start presiding over the game.

The four hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded to each other in agreement.

On the one hand, Zhuo Yifan, Xia Jun, and Chi Shengwei walked to the middle circle to prepare to serve, and on the other hand, the three big men were ready to fight.

Xia Jun replaced Li Xin's possession position, and although Zhuo Yifan and Chi Shengwei were obviously one lap smaller than their opponents in the inner line, there was a world of difference in the process of squeezing the position compared to the three-on-three match a week ago. Although their own side still does not have an advantage, it can be seen that it is not so easy for Lei Kefeng and White to get the position of Zhuo and Chi - they are evenly matched, and this word is the most appropriate word to describe the situation at this time.

Zhuo Yifan, who got Xia Jun's pass, could not easily squeeze into the penalty area guarded by Lei Kefeng, and with conventional shooting, he would definitely be wiped out.

Except for Zhou Junyi, everyone present who saw this scene was surprised.

"Yifan, when did you learn this trick? Backward jumper, one of Jordan's three stunts! ”

"Do you need to learn such a move, of course I am a natural one!" The arrogant tone is not all arrogant.

"Indeed, this is a very natural shot, Zhuo Yifan, who was originally very good in bounce, coupled with a week of hell training, relying on the reaction force during the confrontation to jump is the basic essentials of the backward jump shot." Zhou Junyi replayed a set of pictures from Zhuo just now in his mind.

At the same time, I thought of the sandbag hell in the training camp: hang 9 sandbags on the space of about 15 square meters in the boxing training ground, first make these 9 sandbags shake irregularly, and the trainees enter the sandbag hell with three darts in their hands, and at the same time fly out of the darts to hit the targets on both sides as much as possible when dodging the shaking sandbags. It's hard to do this at first, usually when you're about to aim at the bull's-eye and you're hit by a sandbag behind you, and you can throw a dart very reluctantly, but later in the day, you'll be able to hit the target even with very strong interference. And now all four people who have come to the stadium have done a great job of completing the project. Therefore, even if Zhuo Yifan faced the interference of Lei Kefeng, who was also very outstanding in his physical fitness, he was still able to hit with his most natural movements, which can be said to be a completely instinctive reaction that prompted Zhuo Yifan to complete this action, if it is not an exaggeration to say that it is natural.

It's the turn of the giants to serve, if the 1.95 meter person has not practiced ball control, this is actually a very difficult technique to master, the tall one has to carry to the waist position compared to the short one, because considering the rebound height of the ball, the tall one is bound to consciously increase the strength of the ball, and because of the high rebound height, the ball stays in the air for a relatively longer time, which gives the opponent the opportunity to take the ball. And if you don't dribble to your waist, you will feel very uncomfortable with the movement of the dribbler and the normal control of the ball. So unless there are special circumstances, the point guard in the basketball team is what we call the point guard, and there is also the point guard (i.e., PointGuard) who is the shortest player on the court. Many well-known point guards in the NBA are short people who are more than 1.8 meters or even 1.7 meters. Stockton (1.85m), Damon Stodamayre (1.78m), Tim Hardaway (1.83m), etc.

So it's obviously difficult for Shirakawa, who is 1.95 meters to control the ball, but even then he has the best ball control in the Giants. Although Shirakawa is thin, he has good physical fitness, and has a certain accuracy in mid-range and interior shooting, but it is difficult to ensure a long-range shooting rate, and dribbling and passing are not his forte.

No, just wanted to pass a ball to Lei Kefeng and was intercepted by Xia Jun halfway. Xia Jun took the ball outside the three-point line, and saw that Bai Chuan had not yet come to his senses, and did not immediately come up to defend, so he shot a beautiful three-point shot in the absence of anyone, although the original three-point shot was Xia Jun's specialty, but Li Xin, who was fighting on the sidelines, saw at a glance that compared with a week ago, Xia Jun has made great progress in the height of the jump and the softness of the posture, in short, not only Xia Jun's three-point shooting rate has improved, but also the shooting posture is more beautiful. This is reminiscent of the Milwaukee Bucks' "elegant shooter" Ray. Allen, who has an exceptionally high three-point shooting percentage, can sometimes shoot three-pointers even when the opponent is strongly interfering. If played well, it is undoubtedly the most dangerous of the Bucks' three musketeers. In terms of defense, Xia Jun's agility has also improved significantly, which can be seen from a break just now, which is completely different from the previous shooters who wait for the ball to come and do not actively defend.

As soon as they came up, the Giants team who lost two goals continued to serve, this time Shirakawa was much more cautious, paying close attention to Xia Jun's movements with every step and every pass, not daring to make any mistakes, and finally three passes and two passes Shirakawa came to the top of the free throw arc with the ball, and also prepared to play a single with his back to Xia Jun. Relying on the advantage of height and weight, he tried to enter the penalty area, but Xia Jun's strong defense made it difficult for Bai Chuan to move an inch for a while.

"How can this be, where did he get so much strength, and it seems that he only has strength!"

"I know what you're thinking right now, be amazed at my defensive fortitude! I'm the one who came back from hell training, but that's not enough to fight you, and I'm going to avenge Nike's three-on-three tournament, and I want you to pay back twice as much for the humiliation I suffered. Xia Jun, whose defense has become tenacious, has actually become aggressive.

"Really? Then I'll take on the challenge. Saying that, Bai Chuan increased the intensity of squeezing in, but forgot that basketball is a sport that requires high power control, Xia Jun saw that Bai Chuan deliberately increased his strength, so he fell backwards.

"Shirakawa, bump into someone and foul!" Zhou made a very exaggerated gesture of hitting people on the side.

Xia Jun smiled knowingly: "I am different from Li Xin and Zhuo Yifan, they are all highly talented basketball geniuses, only one or two years have more strength than the average high school student, I have no talent, some only have a love for basketball, I have been practicing basketball since the fourth grade of primary school, at first I couldn't grab the ball at all in the game with my peers, and the ball was quickly stolen by others." All I was able to do was to keep practicing shooting, at first 100 a day, then 200, then 300, until 500, the ability to shoot three-pointers and the title of the top scorer completely depended on my unremitting shooting practice, and after the game with the 'Eagles' and a word from Brother Junyi, I understood that a good basketball player is not only accurate shooting, but also has tenacious defensive ability. Starting today, I'm going to get rid of other people's perception that I'm just a god pitcher. I'm still a good defender. ”

It was not only Xia Jun who touched the scene, Zhou Junyi on the sidelines was also taken aback by Xia Jun's tenacious performance: "This kid, when did you start to be so serious, when you first started training, you were completely an unhurried shooter, you shoot the ball when you have it, and even a little lazy shooter, when did you start to make up your mind and be a strong defender?" Could it be, could it be that conversation I had with him? ”

Four days ago, the night when the four teenagers were about to end a day of exhausting training, when they were doing the last set of chest impact training, Li Xin, Zhuo Yifan, and Ji Shengwei ended early, but only Xia Jun had not finished it. That's when I ran out of patience: "What's the matter, can't your chest withstand such a slow pass?" Do you want to continue practicing, if you don't want to, don't come tomorrow, three against three only three people, without you there will be no loss or anything, the three of them have done a great job so far, far better than you! ”

"Why do you want to do this exercise, my chest really hurts."

"It's a practice to strengthen the confrontation in the game! Being able to withstand strong confrontations is what makes you a good defender. ”

"What's the use of defense, the final result of the game doesn't depend on who scores the most, only scoring is the key to winning!"

"Do you know why Chinese can shoot seven or eight three-pointers in a row in domestic games, but still lose fifty or sixty points when they meet the United States?"

"It's not how much better the Americans are in scoring, it's defense, and a defensive result means one more offensive opportunity than others, one more chance to shoot, one more chance to show others your three-point shooting ability. On the contrary, when you are defended by others when you attack, you will have one more turnover, one less offensive opportunity, one less opportunity to show your three-point shooting ability, and more importantly, ......"

"What?"

"One more chance for someone else to humiliate you!"

When I said that, he was really stunned.

Was that the phrase that spurred him to be called a good defender? Xia Jun, I'm going to be impressed with you. ”
