Chapter 5 Lost Section 60 Scouting Wesley
Replacing the two main players, Avraro became the team's number one player of course, he broke through with the ball in the midfield, met the block of Okamura Daiki, but Kerr's block made room for him, and he twisted and stretched out his hand to pass the ball to Harris who bypassed the defenders from the side, and jumped directly under the basket to dunk with one arm in the air.
"Beautiful!" As soon as he got on the court, Harris scored two points.
And the counterattack of the Asian United, Sato continued to make feints and did not shake off Harris who was defending him.
It was easy to shake Harris's center of gravity a little with the shake of his shoulder, and he burst to the right
"It's now!" Just took a step and was about to go to the basket, but Harris who caught up from behind covered the ball, and Harris showed his all-round offense and defense.
"It's a monster!" Sato had only been playing for four minutes before he gasped for breath in the quick transition between attack and defense.
"The American team is full of monsters!" Sato screamed in his heart, but he looked pale and weak.
"Sato, hurry back to defense!" Gangcun shouted.
"Damn!" Sato ran back to the back with all his might, and his mind was full of the outstanding physicality of the American team, the tight defense, and the quick transition between attack and defense, which had exhausted him.
"I've only been playing for four minutes and I'm already tired, and it's hard to pass the ball, let alone break through. In the 30 minutes of the previous game, how did Li, Zhuo, and Lin hold on! And Harris is only a bench player, and the stronger McKins is already off. ”
"They've been fighting monsters like this until now!" Sato only felt the difficulty of the game at this point, which he had not been able to feel on the bench before. In the final quarter of the final game, the United States unreservedly released all their strength, especially the substitutes who sat on the bench for quite some time. The power of the desolation is waiting to be vented, and when they are released on the field, it is like a beast coming out of the cage, unstoppable.
Avraro attracted the bag of Shahon Hun Sen and Gangmura, and Kerr ran to the bottom corner outside the three-point line to receive an assist from Avralo, and hit a hollow three-pointer in the open position. The gap between the two teams reached 29 points.
Wesley called a timeout. The United United made another substitution, with center Douglas replacing Jones. The youngest, Gibson, replaces Avraro. Kerr was left alone to lead the four benches on the field. But these four people have the most physical strength. Although they have led by nearly 30 points, they have no intention of finishing.
Xia Hun Sen easily shot a two-pointer.
Here Martin made another long-range shot, although he missed, Douglas grabbed the rebound in the front court again, and then assisted Kerr, without making adjustments, facing Xia Hongsen is a hollow three-pointer!
"Your uncle! Completely ignoring my existence! Xia Hongsen angrily scolded in his heart.
Without Li Xin to organize the offense on the court, the offense of the Asian United team is more difficult to tear apart the defense of the American team, and the continuous reversal is slow to find the space, seeing that the 24-second offensive time is coming, Xia Hun Sen took another step back outside the three-point line and opened the distance between him and Kerr. A long-range three-point shot was almost another three-pointer at the whistle.
"Lao Tzu is not a fuel-efficient lamp!" Xia Hongsen returned the favor with his performance.
The ball actually went into the net hollow, and the "blood drop" Xia Hongsen used his own persistence to try to maintain the last dignity of the Asian team.
In the last five minutes, the game finally became a training time for both teams.
In the final game, the United States defeated the Asian United by 35 points, 105-70.
"Lost, completely defeated. It's a little uncomfortable, but it's expected. "The players from both sides lined up in the middle of the pitch, and the assistant gave each of them a marker. Everyone signed their names on their jerseys and exchanged jerseys with their opponents.
The one who exchanged jerseys with Li Xin was, of course, Doug. Aaron: "Aaron, it's a pleasure to play against you!" You're so good. You've taught me a lot, and I hope to fight you again when I have the chance! ”
"Lee, you're a player with a lot of potential, and I think I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I believe that you will make greater progress in the future, and I look forward to competing with you on a higher stage in the future. Alun gave Li Xin a high evaluation, holding Li Xin's hand tightly with one hand, and there seemed to be light in his eyes.
Zhuo Yifan also took Avralo's jersey, shook the hand of the strongest high school forward in the United States and said, "Dude! You're amazing, but next time we'll meet again, in the NCAA, I'm going to beat you myself. ”
"Oh, you're still going to play in the NCAA?" Avraro asked, surprised.
"Of course, I'm going to join UCLA soon, so I'm waiting in the NCAA! Don't be eliminated until you meet us. "Although he lost the game, Zhuo's mouth cannon is not forgiving at all.
Li Xin listened to the conversation between the two on the side, covered his head with his hand, and thought: "You guys didn't take the college entrance examination for the American ACT, why do you want to join UCLA?" Zhuo, this guy knows how to talk big! ”
"Hehe, I should have said this, right?" Avraro is also unrelenting.
After shaking hands with each other, the two teams walked to their benches, wiped the sweat from their foreheads with towels, and walked into the lounge one by one.
In the lounge, despite the team's big defeat, Mr. Wesley still gave the players a high rating. And made a summary of the activities of the summer camp, after which it was disbanded, and everyone packed their clothes and prepared to go to the rinse room to take a shower.
"Lee, come here!" Wesley stopped Li Xin.
"Me!?" Li Xin pointed to his nose to confirm whether he was calling himself, and after Wesley nodded, Li Xin walked up to him.
"Li Xin, your performance is very good. I was surprised by the Chinese high school players! Wesley said.
"Thank you for the compliment!"
"Keep up the good work, and I'll come back to you in a few years!"
"Looking for me? Coming to China? ”
"Nothing is impossible?"
"Really?"
"I forgot to introduce myself, my full name is Victor. Wesley. The assistant coach of the Chicago Bulls is also a scout. This time, I was commissioned by the NBA headquarters to participate in the teaching work of the summer camp. ”
"What?" Hearing the news, Li Xin was shocked again.
Scout, no wonder he knows so many American high school players inside out, it turned out to be part of his profession. He is also the assistant coach of his favorite Chicago Bulls. Li Xin had a lot of thoughts in his heart for a while, and he couldn't sort out a clue what to say.
Just asked again confirmatively:
"You're such an assistant coach of the Chicago Bulls!"
"That's still fake, of course!" Wesley nodded.
Li Xin looked at this middle-aged American who was a little fat and honest-looking, and suddenly felt a sense of intimacy: "Great, my favorite NBA team is the Chicago Bulls, I'm so happy to see you!" ”
Wesley smiled and responded to Li Xin: "I think you have a lot of potential, although you only won one game this time, but among all the players, I think it is you." ”
Li Xin was stunned at first, and then asked rhetorically, "Really?" ”
If Allen's previous statement that he has potential is still polite, then the words of the current NBA coach are more convincing.
"Of course! I never lie! Wesley stepped forward and looked at Li Xin's legs, who were wearing only a pair of panties.
Li Xin's shy face suddenly turned red, and he thought, "Uncle, what are you going to make trouble about?" ”
Wesley squatted down, touched Li Xin's calf with his hand, and pinched Li Xin's knee, so frightened that Li Xin immediately retracted like a frightened turtle.
"Mr. Wesley, this" Li Xin was speechless for a moment, and there was a trace of horror on his face.
But to Wesley's amusement, he couldn't help but smile and ask, "You're 182cm tall now, aren't you?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?" Li Xin felt very inexplicable about Wesley's question.
"I think you'll be at least 5-10cm longer." It turned out that Wesley looked at Li Xin's legs for this reason.
"Really?" Li Xin asked in surprise.
"Well, I just checked that the epiphysis of your leg joint should not be closed. It is estimated that you can grow taller, and you can go to the hospital to do a bone age test. If you can reach a height of about 190cm, as a playmaker, it is still more advantageous. ”
"Advantageous?" What Li Xin wants to ask is who has an advantage over him?
"Well, the average height of an NBA guard is 188cm (6'2"), if you can reach 190cm (6'3') tall, then you still have a certain advantage in the league, and you won't be 'beaten' by the opponent because you are too short!"
"Have an advantage in the league?" Li Xin didn't understand what Mr. Wesley meant.
"You're saying I'll be able to play in the NBA in the future?" Li Xin pondered Wesley's meaning carefully again, and blurted out excitedly.
"Yes, although very few Asian guards can enter the NBA at present, in 5-10 years, with the rise of Asian teams, more scientific training methods are produced, and the efforts of talented players are themselves. I think it's entirely possible, there should be a couple of Asian guards in the NBA, and you have that potential. ”
Wesley finished speaking seriously, which surprised Li Xin.
"I have the potential to play in the NBA! The NBA coach said I had the potential to play in the NBA! Li Xin happily closed his mouth.
"Of course, I'm just talking about you having this potential, as for whether you can enter the NBA in the end, it all depends on your efforts in the next few years, if the technical and physical conditions are stagnant, it is obviously not related to the NBA. After all, there are millions of basketball players in the world, and only a few hundred can enter the NBA, which can be said to be one in a million. So, kid, come on! ”
Li Xin nodded again and again, reversing the calmness he showed on the field, he was as innocent as a 17-year-old child at this time. (To be continued.) )
