Oriental men's basketball team, youth training base.

The youth players under the age of 18 were divided into two teams by the coach and were playing against each other. On the sidelines, Li Wei, Luo Wei, Xie Siqi, Xie Jianguo, Wang Qiang and others were all watching.

Wang Qiang is Xie Jianguo's former comrade-in-arms in the provincial team and a staff member of the Oriental Men's Basketball Youth Team. It was with his help that Li Wei and others sat on the sidelines.

"There are so many people on the field, that big man is so tall." Xie Siqi twisted her little eyebrows.

The shoe factory's broken court could only play three-on-three basketball, and she wasn't used to this kind of formal five-on-five game. And that tall big man is the future legend Da Yao.

Li Weidao: "The normal basketball game is five people per team, and the big man is the center of the red team. ”

"What is a center?" Xie Siqi asked.

Li Weidao: "People who play basketball are tall and short, and their abilities are different. In order to make it easier to organise the tactics, we will divide the five men into five positions, with the center being the most important position for the height advantage. ”

Xie Siqi shook his little head and said, "I don't understand!" ”

Li Weidao: "Basketball is not a game where you can shoot and score, and there are even more points when you don't score than when you score, so rebounds are very important.

A rebound is a rebounding ball, which refers to the ball that is rebounded back by a rebound or basket after someone else misses a shot. Whichever team can grab the rebound will be able to attack, and the other team will have to defend.

The taller the person, the easier it is to grab rebounds. Look at that big tall man, others can't shoot, he doesn't even have to jump, he can grab the ball in his hand. ”

Xie Siqi nodded: "Well, it's really easy for a big man to pick up a ball that others can't score!" ”

Li Weidao: "Generally speaking, big men will stand under the basket, which is the easiest position to grab rebounds. People who often stand in the position under the basket to attack, defend, and grab rebounds are called centers. ”

Xie Siqi said: "Then everyone is standing under the basket, and they are all centers?" ”

Li Weidao: "No, a team has only one center, that is, the big man who stands under the basket most often can be called a center, and the other four belong to other positions."

For example, the short one, he is short, has a low center of gravity, and has a low height when shooting the ball, so he is not easy to be robbed. The team puts him in charge of dribbling the ball to the front court, observing the form on the court, and then passing the ball to teammates who need it most, and his position is that of a defender. Even if he likes to rush to the basket to grab rebounds, he is still a guard. ”

Xie Siqi said: "Which one is the defender?" ”

Li Weidao: "There are two guards on a team, and the shortest one on the red team is responsible for dribbling, which is one of them. This guard is commonly known as a point guard or playmaker, because the ball is in his hands, he must control the ball well while observing the situation on the court and organizing the whole team to attack.

The one who stands next to the playmaker is the attacking defender. He is only slightly taller than a playmaking guard, and he is also short on the court, not easy to grab rebounds, so his main task on the court is to score, also called a shooting guard. ”

Xie Siqi said: "Godfather, you are so short, you must be a point guard?" ”

Li Wei smiled: "That's right, I'm a point guard, Jordan, and Peter Pan Kobe in the shark are scoring guards, and we are all geniuses among guards." That big fat shark, O'Neal, is the center, the same big guy here standing under the basket. ”

Xie Siqi blinked and asked, "What about Duncan?" That dumb guy, what's the location? ”

Li Weidao: "He is a striker. Normally, the two shortest positions on the court are point guards and point guards, the tallest are centers, and the two who are not tall or short are forwards. There is also a division of labor between the two forwards, and the taller one usually assists the center and grabs rebounds under the basket, which is called the power forward. Smaller ones tend to stand a little farther away, similar to a shooting guard, known as a small forward. ”

"Then is Duncan a big front or a small front?"

"Duncan is a power forward, the best power forward ever, and he can also play center."

"Duncan is the best power forward of all time? It's so amazing, no wonder I can be with you for a while! Xie Siqi sighed.

Wang Qiang wanted to laugh when he heard it next to him, but he was embarrassed to laugh, so he could only whisper to his old comrade-in-arms Xie Jianguo: "This boss from the United States can really blow it!" ”

Xie Jianguo said: "I'm so short, if I can't blow it, I won't have any hope for that day!" ”

"Hahaha!" The two chuckled.

Xie Siqi crossed her fingers and silently remembered the knowledge that Li Wei taught her: "There are five people in a team, two are guards, point guards and point guards, two are forwards, big forwards and small forwards, and only one center. Godfather, the center of the red team is so powerful, as soon as others get to the basket, he will fan the ball away, and he won't score points at all! ”

Li Wei smiled lightly, if Da Yao is not powerful, then who else can be powerful?

"Godfather, godfather, who is better than him?"

"Ahem!" Li Wei coughed violently twice, and said stiffly: "Of course it's me, your godfather is a shark emperor-level figure, although this center is powerful, it is still a little worse than the big shark O'Neal, so it is not my opponent at all." ”

Xie Siqi's eyes lit up: "Will you compare with him for a while?" I'd love to see what you do with this big man! ”

As soon as the girl said this, Luo Wei, Xie Jianguo, Wang Qiang and others around looked at Li Wei gloatingly.

A short man of one meter four or five and a big Yao are better than basketball?

How ugly is that to die?

Li Wei has no other skills, but he is thick-skinned. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he patted his chest and said, "No problem! ”

Not long after, the youth team's practice match ended, and Li Wei quietly grabbed Da Yao and said, "Little brother, can you do me a favor?" ”

Da Yao knew that this was a friend brought by trainer Wang Qiang, nodded and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Wei said: "The two of us will play a few balls in a while, you let me do it." See the little girl sitting over there? I want to show myself in front of her. ”

"No problem." Da Yao nodded, and then said in a low voice: "You guys are in love at such a young age, isn't it?" ”

"Ahem!" Li Wei coughed violently twice, "What kind of eyes do you have?" I'm just short, not too young. That little girl is my goddaughter, and I, as a godfather, want to be a role model for my daughter, understand? ”

Da Yao said embarrassedly: "That's your goddaughter?" I'm sorry, I thought you were about the same age. That's okay, after a while, if you say how to cooperate, I will cooperate! ”

Xie Siqi didn't know that Li Wei and Da Yao had colluded. Seeing the two of them coming together, she waved her hands happily. After another observation, the godfather was only slightly taller than the thighs of others, and the girl laughed loudly again.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Wei asked.

Xie Siqi said: "Godfather, you are so short!" ”

Li Wei was speechless for a while, I'm short and short, how much do you want to save me some face!

Da Yao also has some talent for acting, looked at Xie Siqi and said, "You just want to see me and your godfather go head-to-head?" I'm going to beat him up badly! ”

Xie Siqi said unconvinced: "My godfather is not afraid of you, he is the best!" ”

"Alright then, let's get started." Da Yao took a training ball, looked at Li Wei again, and said loudly: "I suddenly feel that you are indeed very powerful, so I have to take the ball first." ”

Li Wei said: "No problem, I'll let you." ”

Da Yao gestured a few times, and then deliberately dribbled slowly in front of Li Wei. Needless to say, Li Wei easily snatched the ball!

Xie Siqi said happily: "Big center, you are too tall, and the ball is too high, it is easy to be stealed." ”

Da Yao said: "That's right, but don't think that if he steals my ball, he can win!" ”

Xie Siqi said: "My godfather will definitely win!" ”

Li Wei began to dribble in front of Da Yao. Don't say it, he's good on the dribble because he's played point guard.

When he was in high school, there was no big man in the class, and Li Wei, who had strong rebounding ability, had to play center. Because of his aggressive scrambling and not weaker than the big centers in other classes, he also earned the nickname of a mini Ben Wallace.

But when he got to college, Li Wei couldn't play center, not even power forward. There are two big and tall men in their class, and they are both good at skill, and they have two positions on the inside.

What's even funnier is that except for these two tall guys, the other people in the class are very poor, and Li Wei, who has never held the ball very much, is known for his rough skills, and he is actually the best ball protector in the class!

So the two big and tall ones combined and made a decision: "Li Wei, you are the shortest, you can also protect the ball, play the organization guard!" ”

When he first played as an organizational defender, Li Wei felt very aggrieved. He always feels like a center, he can grab boards, he can block, he is very good under the basket, but he can't do anything without the basket.

But he also knew that if he went to play center, it would be vexatious. There are two big and tall people, which one is more suitable for the inside line than him!

"Okay, point guard is point guard, can't I practice ball control?"

Li Wei began to practice ball control frantically, from acceptable ball protection ability, to acceptable ball control ability, and from acceptable ball control ability to good ball control ability!

Immediately afterwards, everyone found out that Li Wei was very talented in organization - in fact, this was also forced. He doesn't have any shooting ability, and he can't break through, the only thing he can do is keep yelling at everyone to run and choose who to pass!

Of course, in addition to organizing the attack, Li Wei still likes to work as a center forward. Everyone often sees him rushing to grab rebounds as soon as he passes the ball, and actively sticking positions, making up defenses, blocks, steals, and doing all the dirty work when defending!

There are two excellent interior players in the team, plus a guard who is willing to organize, so that Li Wei's class is very competitive from the start. In my sophomore year, two roommates developed a long-range range because they were pulled by Li Wei all day long, and the team became more mature, reaching the top four of the college basketball game every year, and winning the championship in two years.

Li Wei, who is diligent in practice, has been the soul of that team since the second half of his freshman year. When attacking, he will pass the ball to the most suitable person, and when defending, he will actively mark the opponent's best scorer. The people who played in the academy called him a condensed version of Rajon Rondo.

Rajon Rondo is an NBA point guard with weak scoring ability, strong playmaking skills, and a love of rebounding, nicknamed True C.

What does true C mean? The English abbreviations for the five positions on the basketball court are point guard PG, point guard SG, small front SF, big forward PF, and center C. A true C is a true center.

A playmaker nicknamed True C should be able to imagine what his style of play looks like. And Li Wei, a condensed version of Rajane Rondo, is indeed a real C responsible for passing.

Most people go to university for four years, but Li Wei went to seven years - he studied medicine, and the clinical medicine major with a bachelor's and master's degree is itself a seven-year system.

After seven years of playmaking as a defender, Li Wei's possession has been very stable, he will not make mistakes easily, and his passing and organizational skills have also been highly praised by his teammates. The only regret is that his shot is not accurate!

To be honest, his teammates are very puzzled by this: "Playing ball every day, not allowed every day, smashing the basket all day long, you must have been a blacksmith in your previous life, right?" ”

"He's not a blacksmith, he's just a lover of iron! I said Li Wei, people can throw it more accurately than you! ”

Thinking of his shooting ability, Li Wei wanted to look up to the sky and sigh. This kind of ability to strike iron as soon as you stretch out your hand is indeed no one. But what can he do if he still practices every day?

He's desperate too!
