Wei Ning stood at the back of the crowd, his eyes cold and incomparably focused on the court.

On the field, a game is going on.

This is a friendly match between the first year of high school and the second year of high school, which is a friendly game, but in essence, it is for the school team to examine whether there are good basketball players among the freshmen.

This was understood not only by every player present, but also by most of the students watching the game, especially the freshman students, who were also shouting loudly for their classmates.

Wei Ning's eyes were still so cold, completely different from the atmosphere of warm shouts and cheers around him, his eyes were only fixed on one person on the court, that was Dongxiang.

Dongxiang is still wearing his favorite red jersey, and the huge flying No. 23 on it is always attracting and deepening the attention of the crowd on the sidelines.

Of course, the wonderful breakthroughs and beautiful scores again and again are the fundamental reasons for the loud applause of the students in the audience, and the group in the southeast corner of the stadium roared even louder, in the eyes of others, the unscrupulous ruffian had to frown.

Wei Ning glanced at the southeast corner with disdain, it was the eighth class where Dongxiang was, a class composed of all the rich children who had smashed into the fourth middle school with money, which was the so-called "index class".

"Yay!" Another chorus of applause, the corners of Wei Ning's mouth twitched, his eyes stared at Dongxiang who was standing under the basket swing, Dongxiang dodged in the air just now, and handed the ball to the edge of the basket from the middle of the two defenders, a picker, and a wonderful two-plus-one attack.

No matter how much Wei Ning hates Dongxiang now, he has to be convinced by this goal, and his heart is also beating for the wonderful goal just now.

The ball was not scored, but it was grabbed by Dongxiang again, no hesitation, no fear, Dongxiang pulled it up directly under the basket, raised three pairs of big hands in front of the basket, held the ball with both hands, stuffed the ball on the rebound, and hit the board into the basket.

The referee's whistle was like a fire, and the squad once again rippled sharply and loudly on the field, and it also made the group of eighth-class indicators in the southeast corner who could not be excited like a donkey's butt was whipped severely, and suddenly screamed.

With the frantic shouting of the eighth class, the audience shouted in unison as if they had just woken up from a dream, and even a few of them applauded, and the scene was suddenly extremely hot.

Everything becomes no longer important at this moment of super five-point play, whether it is the game, or the people who watch the game with or without a purpose, under the wonderful performance of Dongxiang, all of them are gone.

The eyes of the two people sitting in the middle of the right side of the court lit up at the same time.

"Not bad!" A middle-aged man with messy hair and sloppy clothes, but with a pair of colored eyes, looked at the ball and put the ball into No. 23, and said slowly.

"Today's goal has been achieved!" Sitting next to him, a middle-aged man dressed in a formal suit, who was only forty years old, with a tall physique and a grim expression, said.

"There is just one less in the team, Lao Xie, let's set this 23rd!" The middle-aged man continued.

"Yes!" Xie Fa, who was sloppily dressed, nodded, stood up, and walked out with his assistant coach Li De, the purpose was complete, and he naturally wanted to leave this noisy place and go outside, Xie Fa touched the sweat on his neck, and was about to complain a few words, when his attention was suddenly attracted by a classmate standing at the back of the crowd.

Wei Ning's eyes became more and more fierce, because Dongxiang was standing on the sidelines at this time, talking to Xiao Xiaoxiao, looking at the laughter on Xiaoxiao's face, when she took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on Dongxiang's face, and Dongxiang also bent down slightly with a submissive face, the smiles between each other, and the strange screams of the group of people in the index class, all stimulated Wei Ning.

The hand couldn't help but be tightened, and even the green tendons on his neck were thick and violent, and Xie Fa, who was looking at him, was a little surprised: This student is really weird!

Suddenly feeling that someone was watching him, Wei Ning turned his head fiercely, and happened to meet Xie Fa's gaze.

Xie Fa suddenly had an instinctive idea in his heart to deviate from the beginning, and he still insisted on it by inertia, and the latter Wei Ning finally felt that he was about to go crazy when he stood here again, and glanced at the pair of people on the field again, turned around and left angrily.

"What's the matter, Lao Xie, what's the fuss?" Li De was a little surprised by his partner's performance and patted Xie Fa on the shoulder, and Xie Fa recovered as if he had woken up from a dream.

"Nothing!" Xie Fa smiled disguisedly, glanced at Wei Ning who was already far away, shook his head, and walked towards the Academic Affairs Office with his partner, there is still a lot of work waiting for him, it will be the municipal league in Changchun soon, this time, there must be a breakthrough.

Turning a small flower bed, Wei Ning met a person head-on.

The same is Ji Xiaoxiao.

"Ningzi!" Ji Xiaoxiao also saw Wei Ning, her eyes lit up, and she shouted happily.

"Tiny!" Wei Ning almost used his own voice to hear the voice whispering in his mouth.

Face to face, Wei Ning subconsciously tilted his head.

"What's wrong with you? Lately, I think you've changed a lot? Did something happen? Ningzi! Tell me! Ji Xiaoxiao immediately said the doubts that had been buried in her heart for a long time.

"Nothing!" Wei Ning felt a pang of pain in his heart, reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and said, "I have to go back to the classroom, there is still a lot of homework to do." ”

Ji Xiaoxiao didn't let Wei Ning pass away, grabbed Wei Ning with one hand, and said urgently: "Ning Zi!" ”

Wei Ning looked blankly at the slender and beautiful hands like white jade that were pulling her clothes, remembering that before, every time she was angry with her, she was pulling herself like this, making her heart soft again and again.

Alas''''''' the sunshine at that time was so beautiful.

Wei Ning turned his head, closed his eyes, and then turned his head with a smile on his face.

"I'm fine, I've been in a bad mood recently because of study problems, Xiaoxiao, don't worry about me!"

Ji Xiaoxiao stared at the smiling Wei Ning with big eyes, now he is indeed the one he was familiar with before, he has been taking care of himself, and Ning Zi who will stand in front of her without hesitation if anything happens.

"Well, Ningzi, don't be discouraged, your grades are so good, you will be the first in the grade in the next monthly exam, I believe you!" Ji Xiaoxiao raised her little hand and smiled brightly like a flower.

Wei Ning was a little stupid, he really wanted to tell Xiaoxiao that he had actually always liked her, and he had always liked her, and Dongxiang's bastard was definitely lying to her, how could he be sincere when he was a rich boy?

Just as Wei Ning was thinking indignantly, a voice sounded beside him.

"Tiny, why are you here? I thought it was ''''''. Dongxiang was about to continue, but only to find out that Wei Ning was also here, and after a little fluzing, Dongxiang naturally put his hand on the small slender shoulder.

"Dongxiang!" Xiao Xiao was obviously surprised, and turned his face to look at Dongxiang.

Wei Ning's heart sank, and then he returned to normal and looked over.

The eyes of the two met without hesitation.

Wei Ning's eyes were calm and deep, while Dongxiang's eyes were full of provocation and sharpness, after looking at each other for a few seconds, Wei Ning first looked away, and the latter smiled slightly as if he had won, and said, "Why are you here?" Why don't you read a book in the classroom? ”

Wei Ning let go of his gaze, not afraid of Dongxiang, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself, and he would fight hard, which made Xiaoxiao sad, but Dongxiang's words made him angry again, and he raised himself violently and glared at the proud Dongxiang.

Dongxiang staggered, almost instinctively avoiding Wei Ning's beastly murderous aura immediately, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Xiaoxiao felt strange that this pair of friends had grown up together, but why were they always yin and yang weird when they talked these days.

Wei Ning retracted his gaze, didn't look at Xiaoxiao, and said lightly: "I still have something to do, let's go first!" With that, he turned and left.

There was a small inquiry behind him, Dongxiang said a few words, and soon, then there was a small happy laughter, Wei Ning's heart ached, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and swore silently in his heart: Wait, Dongxiang, I will give you insults again and again, ten times more and return to you!

※※※

Sitting in the classroom, looking at the outside that had already fallen into the night, Wei Ning's heart had already flown to the court, the ball in the afternoon and the encounter with Xiaoxiao, the anger that he had suppressed in his heart was about to detonate, but Wei Ning was forcibly controlling himself, he understood that with his current level, it was absolutely impossible to challenge Dongxiang and recapture Xiaoxiao.

Suddenly remembered Zhang Yao, in this more than a week, he waited on the court at half past eight every night, and always accompanied him until eleven o'clock before leaving, Wei Ning was very grateful, he was not a cold-blooded animal, but he didn't like to say his inner feelings, he always thought that many things, expressing it with action is the most correct.

Men, it's not about words.

For a week, he was still in the exercise of dribbling, which made Wei Ning a little anxious, he thought that the current dribbling could basically be regarded as passing, and Zhang Yao seemed to see his thoughts, and suddenly proposed to dribble with himself the night before.

The standard running dribble is to dribble straight down the left side of the center line to the basket, then go around the basket, then run to the right side of the center line, and when you arrive, do not stop, dribble to the other half of the court in the same walking route, and finally return to the starting point at the beginning.

Zhang Yao completed it very easily, and the time was very fast, and when Wei Ningman thought that he could also complete it easily, at this time, he realized how bad his dribbling was.

If you dribble like this according to the speed of walking, Wei Ning can do it, and when you run, the speed increases slightly, and the whole task becomes extremely difficult.

The ball seems to be like a disobedient child, every time the starting point of the bounce is to catch Wei Ning off guard, repeatedly chasing the basketball that jumps away, Wei Ning finally understands his shallow basketball level.

After that day, Wei Ning began to practice dribbling fiercely, whether it was his more and more proficient right hand to shoot the ball, or the left hand that he was never used to, he was treated strictly.

At this time of day, the time always flies quickly, and Zhang Yao has become more and more strict, from the strange relationship at the beginning to the master-apprentice relationship that has not been broken now, the relationship between the two has gradually become a friend.

Finally after class, Wei Ning was the first to run from the back door of the classroom to the corridor, before the arrival of the army after class, Wei Ning jumped down a few steps on the first floor of the stairs, ran into the carport, and rode his bicycle as fast as possible, Wei Ning began to rush home.

The court is next to home, walk through an alley, and then turn a corner, you will arrive at the court, every time you take out the ball from home, run to the court, you can't help but ask yourself: why do you have such conditions, but you didn't start basketball training earlier?

Thinking of the time wasted in the past in order to look useless in reading, Wei Ning felt angry, if he had known earlier, it turned out that Xiaoxiao liked basketball, and there would not be a relationship between Dongxiang's bastard and Xiaoxiao's now.

The scene of Dongxiang and Xiaoxiao being together always flashed uncontrollably in my mind, I was so compulsive, but it was still useless, and the sadness in my heart immediately turned into anger, and became determination, firm determination.

No matter how hard it is, I have to continue to learn, and I, who was once the first in my studies, will never lose to a bastard like Dongxiang in basketball who only relies on the money in his family to show off his power everywhere.

Rushed into the house, grabbed the basketball, Wei Ning ran to the court, there must be no one at home, since the death of his father, his mother seems to have changed as a person, except for looking at the small cheap store outside during the day, every night is a night without returning.

Wei Ning knew very well in his heart that the pain caused by his father's death was actually much greater than his mother, and now, except for playing cards to anesthetize her, there was nothing to offset the huge inner pain of losing her loved ones.

It didn't take a few moments, Wei Ning came to the edge of the court with a basketball in his hand, and Zhang Yao had been waiting here for a long time.

Zhang Yao looked at Wei Ning who ran over, his face was still the same as the expression that came every day this week, his face was full of silence, and he wanted to ask him what kind of things happened around him that could make an age that was originally a laugh become like a cynical expression.

Zhang Yao could read what kind of expression it was, it was suppressed anger, and he didn't know which day, it would erupt like a volcano.

Sometimes, basketball can indeed make people vent, and perhaps, it is precisely because he knows this that he is so hungry to learn basketball.

"Let's get started!" Habitually hold the ball, get in a correct posture and start to continue your dribbling training.

"Wait a minute, we don't practice dribbling today!" Zhang Yao said suddenly.

This made Wei Ning a little surprised, straightened his waist, and said, "Then what are you practicing?" ”

Zhang Yao smiled and said, "Today I will preliminarily tell you the second basic skill of basketball!" ”

Wei Ning didn't speak, he stood there quietly, waiting, he knew that he didn't know anything about basketball, and all he needed to do now was to calm down and wait.

"In basketball, there are three things that you have to be proficient in, and without these three things, you are not a basketball player." Zhang Yao continued: "Dribbling is the feet of basketball, without it, you can only stay where you are, without any vitality!" Shooting, the essence of basketball, it is the hand of basketball, with it, you will become full of lethality! Glancing at Wei Ning, who was listening quietly, Zhang Yao paused and asked, "Do you understand?" ”

"What's the last thing?" Wei Ning avoided answering Zhang Yao's question and asked rhetorically.

Zhang Yao was stunned, looked at Wei Ning's eyes, and replied helplessly: "Smell!" ”

"Smell?" This time it was Wei Ning's turn to be surprised, no matter what he thought, he didn't expect that the last thing would be such an abstract word.

"There are five major positions in basketball, center, two center, that is, power forward, these two positions belong to the inside, one left and one right! Next up is the small forward, the scoring guard, the playmaking guard. Every position has its strengths and weaknesses, some people can play center, but he definitely can't go to the guard, some people can be playmaking defenders, then they definitely can't be the center, because these five positions are contradictory to each other.

Of course, there are some basketball players in the world who are very great, they can play several positions, even five positions, they can do it well and interpret their own characteristics, hehe, like the great Magic Johnson, and the most valuable wolf king Garnett, they are all extremely talented players. Speaking of this, Zhang Yao was a little excited, but Wei Ning next to him didn't feel it, but felt that the two people Zhang Yao said were indeed powerful.

"It's a bit off-topic, the sense of smell is the sense of position, I think so, everyone on the court, there will definitely be a position that is most suitable for them, just like I just said Johnson, Garnett, one is a natural playmaker, just because of his size and physical fitness, he is handy in every position, and Garnett, he is a big guy with tall and long arms, he is almost invincible in the position of power forward!" Speaking of this, Zhang Yao became excited again, Wei Ning frowned, he finally discovered Zhang Yao's shortcomings, it was too easy to get distracted and off-topic.

"Oh, I seem to be off topic again!" Zhang Yao patted his forehead, smiled, and continued: "If you choose basketball, then you must choose one of these five positions." And this choice is very important, it depends on which position you should develop in the future, and learn everything you want to learn, do, and have in this position as soon as possible, and as for the other four positions, you don't have to think about and practice! ”

Wei Ning didn't speak, he had been listening silently, Zhang Yao said a little dry, glanced at him, thinking that he was thinking about his future choices, so he said: "After a while, you will naturally understand which position you are suitable for, for you, you don't understand anything now, in fact, it seems that there are only two positions left for you to choose." ”

Wei Ning listened to Zhang Yao's words, and suddenly felt a feeling of being despised by Zhang Yao, the tone of Zhang Yao's current speech and the tone of the two strange foreigners he was talking about just now were completely heavenly and underground.

"Which two locations?" Although there was some grievance in his heart, Wei Ning's affirmation of Zhang Yao still made Wei Ning want to know that he might belong to that position.

Zhang Yao thought about it, glanced at Zhang Yao's figure, which was not very tall or stout, sighed, and suddenly realized that in fact, what he was doing now might not be meaningful, there were many things, even if he had a strong will, it was actually useless.

Especially in basketball, without a body, there is absolutely no hope.

"You can play playmaking guard at most, if you run and shoot well, you can still play as a scoring guard, and don't think about ''''''''''the other three positions." Zhang Yao wanted to continue, but suddenly saw Wei Ning's eyebrows raised, and angry light welled up in his eyes, and he suddenly subconsciously closed his mouth.

"Can you tell me what's the difference between the locations?" Wei Ning held back his anger and asked, in the past few months, he has been constantly despised and disdained by others, and the proud heart in his heart has been insulted again and again, but the reality is very clear, what others do is indeed what he can't do, and what others despise is indeed what he lacks, which undoubtedly makes Wei Ning angry.

Zhang Yao said: "Organizing guards, also known as point guards, can control the rhythm of the game, and can lead the team's offense, wave after wave, until the opponent is defeated!" “

"Oh!" Wei Ning became interested all of a sudden, and this position reminded him of the feeling of a commander.

Zhang Yao glanced at Wei Ning, found that he had a curious look on his face, smiled, and immediately said: "This position, not everyone can be competent, not to mention competent, if you can be competent, you already have a certain ability to control the ball." ”

Wei Ning took a breath and understood what Zhang Yao meant just now.

The day before yesterday, after losing the running field, Zhang Yao said a sentence, which means that if you can control the ball, it will take at least a year to exercise. This sentence made Wei Ning linger for a long time, and now thinking back to Zhang Yao's current sentence, Wei Ning suddenly became depressed.

A year?

One year !! How can I watch Xiaoxiao being taken away by Dongxiang?

"What about the shooting guard?" Wei Ning put his frustration aside and asked.

"Shooting guard? Hehe! Zhang Yao couldn't help laughing.

"Laughing at what?" Wei Ning was dissatisfied.

"You can't fight!" Zhang Yao said.

A flash of anger flashed in Wei Ning's eyes, this time, Zhang Yao saw it very clearly, his laughter gradually lowered, and he said: "Generally speaking, the responsibilities of organizing guards and scoring guards are almost the same, naturally, the abilities they have are also the same, scoring guards not only need superb ball control skills, but also need very accurate shooting ability and a certain level of breakthrough, how to say, scoring guards and small forwards are the positions with the highest technical content in basketball, so if you can't even play point guards." , so how can you skip the ranks to play point guard? ”

Zhang Yao's words extinguished Wei Ning's dissatisfaction sentence by sentence, and also said that Wei Ning's ambition was nothing.

"Well, isn't there a place for me?" You can get into the sense of location in the shortest time, is there any? "Now Wei Ning is so depressed that he can't be depressed, and the only wish in his heart is that there is still a position that he may be able to occupy.

Zhang Yao looked at Wei Ning carefully, sighed, and said: "It stands to reason that if you just want to play, then, in fact, it doesn't matter which position you have, but if you really want to have an accomplishment in basketball, then I'll be honest, there is really no hope!" You see me, I began to recruit in the amateur team at the age of eleven, and entered the professional team at the age of fifteen, until now, I am almost two meters tall, and the speed of the small forward in the team is not enough, and the weight of the big forward is worse. Speaking of this, Zhang Yao also sighed, just now he sighed Wei Ning, and now, he is really sighing gloomily for his future.

Wei Ning stayed there, these days, Zhang Yao has been teaching himself, in his own consciousness, he is omniscient and omnipotent in the field of basketball, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be the case.

I thought that if I could practice half of Zhang Yao in a short time, I would be able to defeat Dongxiang, but now I realized that this idea is really ridiculous.

Zhang Yao has practiced for more than ten years, and his height is so high, but he can't occupy the main position in the team, so why do he hope to defeat Dongxiang, a bastard who has been in contact with basketball since the first year of junior high school, in a few months?

Thinking about the past week or so, he has trained hard but made no progress, and Wei Ning finally found that basketball is much more difficult than he imagined, much, much.

"Let's practice shooting! Despite all the frustrating things I have said to you, I still have to say to you that if you want to learn basketball, whether you want to play or really want to get involved, you have to listen to me. Zhang Yao looked at Wei Ning solemnly, watched him gradually recover from depression, and looked at himself seriously, before he said slowly: "Basketball is not a paradise for talented people!" Tenacious will and the fighting spirit of never giving up are the qualities we need most on the basketball court! Remember, basketball belongs only to the toughest fighters! ”

Wei Ning's heart was shocked, a shock for no reason, Zhang Yao's words, Zhang Yao's expression when he spoke, and the conviction in his eyes, in fact, were not something that Wei Ning, who had a strong heart, could be shocked, what shook Wei Ning was this sentence.

As if it was extremely familiar from a long time ago, and as if it was a mission, Wei Ning's heart was completely shaken there, this sentence, like a key, gently opened the deepest door in Wei Ning's heart, and what was suppressed and suppressed suddenly burst out.

Wei Ning felt that the blood in his whole body was gradually heating up, just like before the battle, the generalissimo of the military parade issued a final attack declaration, the whole army, the momentum caused by the crazy shouting made his whole body burst out with strong strength, there is no doubt that this is the fighting spirit of life.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Yao was a little surprised, he felt that Wei Ning's expression and eyes in front of him, and even his body began to change a little.

The heat in Wei Ning's heart faded all at once, he took a deep breath, shook his head in the face of Zhang Yao's doubts, and said, "It's nothing, I just think what you said is right!" ”

"Hehe, you have to understand, these words, I got it in the hard fight, think about it, on the training ground, you only have a good performance to have the opportunity to let the coach pay attention, even if you are injured, in the face of dangerous balls, you have to be brave to meet it, bitter, can't say, that will make the coach think that you are not physically fit, you have to grit your teeth and persevere, it doesn't matter if you sweat and bleed, the key is that you don't give up, you give up, then the coach gives up on you, which is equivalent to basketball being indirectly given up by you."

Wei Ning was silent, and when Zhang Yao finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Yao's eyes carefully, trying to catch the tiredness and perseverance in Zhang Yao's eyes.

"Would you give up basketball?" Wei Ning asked.

Zhang Yao smiled, as if the question was ridiculous, and said, "Never give up!" ”

Wei Ning was silent for a while, as if he had grasped something in his heart, but he had nowhere to start, so he said again: "What do you like basketball?" ”

Zhang Yao shook off this time, but then laughed again, patted Wei Ning on the shoulder, and said: "In this world, everyone who likes basketball can't answer this question." ”

"Why?"

"Because, only if you like it, will you understand why!" Zhang Yao glanced at Wei Ning again and said without answering.

Wei Ning didn't ask again this time, nodded, hugged the basketball, and said softly: "Then let's start practicing shooting now!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Yao replied, what he said to Wei Ning just now, Zhang Yao was very happy, he hadn't talked to a person for a long time about his experience of basketball, although what he said, it seemed that the listener didn't seem to hear clearly, but it didn't matter, he said it, just to be happy.

The listener didn't hear clearly, Wei Ning was indeed like this, but what Zhang Yao didn't expect, his experience turned into an epiphany in Wei Ning's heart!

This is like a seed, which has been deeply implanted in Wei Ning's heart, it uses the soil of hatred, and it is also the lava of anger, but it doesn't matter, the key thing is that this is a basketball seed.

Basketball is meant to be interpreted with hatred and anger.

It was true that Wei Ning didn't know what he got tonight, but soon, Jeonbuk-gu understood what this seed had sprouted.

Also, in one month, it is the National Nike Cup North District Changchun City Trials.

Wei Ning, are you in time?

Apprenticeship with defenders
