Chapter 162: Fateful Duel

At this moment, Yan Yufeng felt how important it was for Yangli to strengthen his shooting training during this time. If www.biquge.info had been placed before the injury, he might have been able to hit three three-pointers in a row, but he definitely didn't dare to guarantee that he would have hit.

But now, as long as there is an empty seat, how can he not hit?

There is no missing bullet, it should be like this.

Yan Yufeng thought in his heart.

"Three to two." Yan Yufeng looked at Wei Ning, who got up, and said.

The crowd watching the game in the stands on this side was even more shocked, they may not be able to understand the confrontation in this ball just now, but it is a terrible thing for them to be able to hit three times or three points.

But what's even more exciting is that Yan Yufeng didn't dribble at all, so he tricked this big muscular thug to the ground just by trying to move, and just by virtue of this, Yan Yufeng's image was infinitely sublimated.

"Awesome, awesome, this shot is the same as hanging up." Everyone expressed their feelings.

"Why don't you say this feint? Have you ever played until now? Jimmy taunted Derek, who loved to break through, and the latter immediately jumped up, puffing up and wanting to say something, but after thinking about it for a long time, it seemed that there really was no such brilliant experience, so he had to sit down in frustration.

Wei Ning's heart is actually similar to the people in the stands, he is more aware of the shooting ability of the opponent in front of him, the first two balls may not be convinced, but the third ball, he was really surprised.

This is definitely not the so-called stroke of genius, at a glance, you can know that it is his usual trick, how to prevent such a person with explosive shooting ability?

Wei Ning was discouraged for a while, before he came to the United States, in addition to learning basketball in the Northeast, he was also abused, and then after he practiced several of his signs, almost no one could stop him, and he played a mess in the entire Northeast, many opponents, seeing him blackened their faces and lost their anger.

Several veteran professional basketball teams sent scouts to watch the game, and even couldn't wait to contact him privately to sign a professional contract.

In terms of offense, basically no one under his basket can resist him, even if a big man who is a few lines taller than him, it is impossible to defend him. In terms of defense, his super fast reflexes and movement defense that doesn't fit his size make him almost able to defend from No. 1 to No. 5.

In the year of playing, everyone called him a genius among geniuses, how could he be abused on the ground as soon as he came to the United States and casually touched someone, or his own compatriots?

Is it because I haven't played for too long? Wei Ning thought to himself.

"Continue?" Yan Yufeng saw Wei Ning's black face and a distracted look, so he asked.

Wei Ning reacted, he went back to pick up the ball, then approached Yan Yufeng and stuffed the ball into his hand again.

"Again."

This time, Wei Ning decided not to pay attention to Yan Yufeng's feints, and wanted to prevent his shooting, but when Yan Yufeng repeated his old tricks, Wei Ning put his center of gravity on the preparation of a big hot pot to slap him, but Yan Yufeng dribbled and threw away Wei Ning, and a three-step layup that couldn't be easier ended the battle.

"It's not challenging at all." Rory shook his head.

"It's not a grade." Derek said it even more.

Jimmy, who has the worst ball skills, retorted: "In fact, it's a mutual explosion, none of them can prevent anyone, and whoever gets the ball may win in a row." ”

"According to you, if it's a change of serve, it must be 5 to 4?"

"I guess so." Jimmy was confident.

Picking up the ball, Wei Ning suddenly felt as if he was constantly picking up the ball, and he felt irritable for a while, he looked at Yan Yufeng who was standing outside the three-point line, and suddenly became more and more unhappy.

This time, he threw the ball far away to Yan Yufeng, and then stood near the free throw line, looking straight at him.

Yan Yufeng laughed.

threw the ball back to Wei Ning, and then Yan Yufeng came to his side and said, "How about you hit me twice on your back, and I hit you once on your back?" ”

A cold light suddenly appeared in Wei Ning's eyes: "This is what you said." ”

"A tooth for a tooth, don't you like it?" Yan Yufeng said so.

Stuffed the ball hard to Yan Yufeng, Wei Ning, and as soon as he got his hand, he touched his waist.

Yan Yufeng took the ball and turned around, turned his back to Wei Ning, felt his back, a powerful big hand leaned sideways, Yan Yufeng leaned back, his big hand exerted force, this leaning on, but he couldn't do it anymore.

But Yan Yufeng didn't care, he began to lean forward, his hips were pouted, and he went to find a confrontation, Wei Ning was familiar with it, stepped forward with his right foot, and pushed it over.

The two fought a little and resumed their initial stance.

Yan Yufeng was standing on the ground with his feet, and he hadn't yet told who was the central axis foot.

Wei Ning didn't dare to be careless, defended on the plane, and waited for the opportunity.

Yan Yufeng suddenly turned to the left, his left foot formed an axis, and his right foot spun out a small half circle, just to find the parallel landing point on Wei Ning's right side.

Wei Ning pulled back with his right foot, stepped forward with his left foot, and his body turned slightly to the right, once again forming a head-on confrontation against Yan Yufeng.

At this time, Yan Yufeng's movements were like tightening the law, a series of actions, made quickly.

The moment his right foot landed, the right hand holding the ball put down the basketball, a low luck, with the bounce of the basketball, the previous pivotal foot left the ground, the right foot converted to the central axis, and the whole body, from facing away from Wei Ning, to facing him.

But this is only a blink of an eye, the right hand is again a fast frequency, but the power of the low beat, catch the basketball of the right hand, suddenly pulled back, the body like a spinning top, turn around.

The two returned to their original positions, and Yan Yufeng still had his back to Wei Ning.

But it is not a front, but a side defense of Wei Ning, and the most heartbreaking self for Wei Ning is still on the weak side of Yan Yufeng's shooter.

His reaction was beyond the ordinary, and immediately he kicked the ground with his left foot, stepped forward with his right foot, and held his left hand high to interfere with a possible shot.

The basketball pulled back did not land again, Yan Yufeng held the ball with both hands, his body sank, his shoulders swung left and right, and at the same time, his feet fell to the ground and opened, and the central axis foot disappeared again.

This moment, like the seduction of the gods, Wei Ning instinctively followed the swing, where the center of gravity was, and the gods didn't know at this time.

Yan Yufeng turned around again, but this time he turned right, his left foot suddenly poked up, and his right foot became the last support point for the killing move at the moment, and the whole person was like a big move, facing the basket again, and at this time, Wei Ning was still on his left side.

Too far away from me, at least two meters.

Wei Ning actually flashed such a thought in his heart, he watched Yan Yufeng jump up, his body drifted slightly to the right, and then saw that Yan Yufeng was still a backward jump shot.

Extinguish all thoughts at once.

The right hand of the shot pressed down slightly, and then pulled the ball out, this small action made the whole picture pause, as if Yan Yufeng was stuck there, and the action of shooting the basket was extremely clear in everyone's eyes.

Picturesque.

Such a thought flashed through Wei Ning's mind.

Landed, the basketball fell into the net.

Yan Yufeng stood calmly and relaxed, looking at Wei Ning with a blank expression, yesterday's depression came to naught.

"My backslap, how's that?" Yan Yufeng got carried away and asked.

Wei Ning thought about his simple hook hand, and really felt that this guy was worse for a stinky black person.

"I really don't want to talk to you." Wei Ning hummed a sentence for a long time.

Yan Yufeng didn't care, and raised his hand to Jimmy, who was cheering in the stands, to celebrate.

But the gap between the teenagers always came and went quickly, and soon Wei Ning and Yan Yufeng chatted together again.

"How many years have you played?" Wei Ning's first sentence was to ask this.

"Well......, it's been eight years." Yan Yufeng thought for a moment and replied.

Wei Ning laughed hesitantly, and suddenly refreshed.

Seeing Wei Ning smiling so happily, Yan Yufeng was very strange, and without waiting for him to ask, Wei Ning took the initiative to say: "I probably started playing at this time last year. ”

Yan Yufeng immediately understood what Wei Ning was proud of, and said, "No wonder the dribble is so bad, it turns out to be a beginner." ”

Wei Ning's laughter is stuck, dribbling is his criticism, and shooting is the most difficult for him to look at, because this does take time to accumulate, and it is impossible to hang up.

"What's your name?" Wei Ning was very dissatisfied.

"Yan Yufeng, from Jiangsu, what about you?"

"I'm from Changchun."

"Are you on the varsity team?" Yan Yufeng asked again.

"Naturally."

"Oh." Yan Yufeng nodded, but did not continue to ask.

This made Wei Ning very uncomfortable, "You don't think I'm unworthy, right?"

"Whatever talent there is, what kind of talent in the team is needed." Yan Yufeng's mouth began to spray again.

Wei Ning hummed, in this regard, he may be fifteen or eighteen miles worse than shooting, and he really can't compete.

While talking, the two shot the basket, Yan Yufeng played out without missing a shot, and Wei Ning hooked his hand under the basket and half a volley also fell into the frame again and again.

Yan Yufeng suddenly asked, "You won't hook your hands, right?" ”

How could Wei Ning admit it, and said stiffly: "How is it possible." With that, he slapped the ball and took a few steps out, then paused in front of the basket and then shot.

As the so-called connoisseur makes a move, he knows if there is one.

As soon as he saw Wei Ning's shooting posture, Yan Yufeng knew everything.

But this time, Yan Yufeng didn't say anything, but came to the basket, picked up the rebound and passed it to Wei Ning, signaling him to continue.

Wei Ning was driven to the shelves and had to continue.

Once, twice, three times, four shots, none of them hit, they all went up and down the basket and fell out.

Wei Ning's face turned red now, he thought that Yan Yufeng was laughing at him loudly, but he heard him say: "Your shooting posture is actually quite standard, but you have a problem with protecting the ball." ”

Yan Yufeng held the ball with one hand in his right hand, came to Wei Ning's side, and then turned his wrist and raised the ball. Keeping his posture unchanged, he said to Wei Ning: "Don't touch the basketball with your palm, touch the basketball with the top section of your fingers, so as to control the basketball, you don't need to use your fingers to exert force, your hands are open as usual, don't have the idea of grabbing the basketball." ”

"Then the left hand that acts as a ball protector is on the side of the basketball. The little finger, thumb, and middle finger are pressed on the basketball. You don't need to use the ball protector to make full contact, in fact, if you have a standard right-hand shooting posture and your fingers can keep the basketball stationary, your ball protector does not need to touch the basketball. ”

"It's like this." Saying that, Yan Yufeng pressed the basketball with his left hand, and then moved the ball up and down with his right hand, Wei Ning could see that as a ball protector, he really didn't touch the basketball.

But from a little distance, you can't see the difference.

"Because your ball protector is really holding down the basketball, when the shooter is shooting. According to ergonomics, you can't do it with your right hand, and you can use your left hand without any force at all. So when you make a shot, regardless of whether you are strong enough to get the basketball to the basket, first on the head, your ball protector interferes with the correct flight path of the basketball. ”

Yan Yufeng continued: "So your shot always smashes the frame, not the center of the frame. ”

"Of course, it is impossible for the ball protector not to touch the basketball at all, especially when doing large movements, because even if the hand is big, it is impossible to completely control the basketball with the shooter, for example, the emergency stop jump shot you must use the ball protector to protect your shooting crosshairs is correct, that involves a lot of practice on shooting, so that your left and right hands are very good to do the power of the virtual and real switch."

"You come to shoot, you move slowly, but you have to stretch out and relax." Yan Yufeng beckoned Wei Ning to practice.

Wei Ning felt that he seemed to understand, but he felt that he didn't fully understand many of the details in it, so he took the basketball with trepidation.

Yan Yufeng stood beside Wei Ning, carefully watched Wei Ning's movements, and watched Wei Ning throw the ball, but because of scruples, this time, he threw three non-sticks.

He ran to the basket and picked up the ball, and said, "You have big hands, which is a good thing, not a good one." ”

"Why?" Wei Ning was confused again.

Yan Yufeng made a demonstration again, he held the ball and explained: "People with big palms, shooting, dribbling, the effect is not as big as people understand, the better." There is a limit to this, and beyond this boundary, many times, it will be counterproductive. ”

"Isn't Jordan oversized?" Wei Ning was puzzled.

Yan Yufeng said with a straight face: "He is an exception, I am not a strong word, this is based on science." After a pause, he thought about what Yang Li told him at that time, and continued: "Shooting, dribbling, and the requirements for hands are a golden ratio, too small is definitely not good, too big, and there will also be a situation of small hands." ”

"For example, free throws, generally speaking, the center's free throws are the worst in the five positions, the historical average is the worst, the reason is that their hands are the largest, and the dribble is the same, although there is a reason for the height factor, which leads to too high dribbling and is easy to be cut, but there is another point, that is, the hand is too big, the basketball cannot fall exactly in your palm every time, the faster the dribble, the greater the probability of deviating from the palm, but the person with a medium palm can dribble quickly and slowly, because even if the basketball deviates from the palm, it can be adjusted quickly."

"But this applies to most of them, and there are always some geniuses who overcome it through their unusually sharp nerve senses, such as Jordan, Magic Johnson, Big Bird Bird, etc."

"These legendary superstars, after overcoming it, will be able to enjoy specialized skills that others do not have, and can develop many techniques that others cannot get through hard training, which has become their signature move."

Wei Ning nodded, he found that the excellence of the person in front of him was by no means as simple as he imagined, he had never heard such an understanding of basketball, and what he encountered, compared with Yan Yufeng, always fell behind in all aspects.

"Okay, if you want to practice shooting, just follow what I just said, heck, give you guidance like this, you're really making a lot of money. Why don't you call the master to listen? Yan Yufeng joked to Wei Ning, I don't know why, he has always been quiet and talkative, and when he meets Wei Ning, who is more introverted than him, he always has the mood to deliberately find words, which is really amazing.

"Master?" Wei Ning was aroused by this sentence, a voice flashed in his mind, and his face couldn't help but darken.

Yan Yufeng suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when Wei Ning was worried about shooting, he comforted: "Shooting is the easiest, if you keep it, it will be effective, believe me." ”

Wei Ning shook his head: "I know, it's okay, I really thank you." ”

Yan Yufeng looked at Wei Ning's expression, and suddenly didn't know how to continue.

The two were silent for a while, but Yan Yufeng broke the atmosphere, and he said: "Why did you come to the United States to work, according to your age, you should be like me, still studying!" ”

Wei Ning smiled bitterly: "Originally, I should be a sophomore in high school now." ”

"Then we're in the same class."

"You, your Chinese language is so normal, it shouldn't be Chinese." Wei Ning asked.

Wei Ning's words touched Yan Yufeng's sore spot, he walked to the sidelines, found a clean place to sit down, looked at Wei Ning and said, "There is providence in the dark." ”

Wei Ning also came over and sat down, he held the ball, flicked it casually in his hand, and said with the same feeling: "That's true." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, it was dark at this time, Jimmy's group of people dispersed after watching them heads-up, Jimmy wanted to come over and say a few words, but saw that the two were talking and laughing, so he consciously walked away without bothering.

When the two of them were silent because of their respective pasts, they found that the two of them were left in the entire stadium, because of the night and roadside street lights, the stadium looked faintly visible.

Wei Ning looked at the dark surroundings, and suddenly remembered the time he missed the most.

"When I first started playing basketball, I was dribbling in the dark every day like I am now, and at that time, no matter how late it was, there was a light on, and a girl was watching me practice from the window." Wei Ning suddenly spoke.

Yan Yufeng listened quietly, he also remembered his countless nights, the time when he practiced with Sun Ming on the court, what is Sun Ming doing now?

"One day, she came down and told me that I was so bad, and then taught me how to play basketball, and every time she taught me, she forced me to call her master, but I never said those two words."

Yan Yufeng finally understood why Wei Ning was suddenly in a low mood, and he tentatively interjected and asked, "Are you here to the United States because of her?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Wei Ning glared at Yan Yufeng like a ghost, and he blurted out: "How do you know?" Hey, do you still work part-time as a fortune teller? ”

"Poof." Yan Yufeng burst out laughing, "It's true, I'm just guessing casually." ”

Wei Ning looked at Yan Yufeng with dissatisfaction and grinned, and then stopped talking, where can Yan Yufeng listen to half of the listen, and nothing will happen, so he let Wei Ning continue.

Wei Ning couldn't help it, so she had to briefly recount: "She used to study in the United States, and then because a man was sad, she ran back to Changchun to study, who knew that I was sad again and ran back to the United States." ”

"I'll go." Yan Yufeng was speechless, and his gossip fire also burned: "Then you must hurt her heart much more than the man before, otherwise how could people run back?" ”

Wei Ning was suddenly enlightened, his face was pale, and his eyes were blank.

Yan Yufeng knew that he had mended the knife again, so he hurriedly coughed a few times and remedied: "Actually, there is still a chance for this kind of thing, not that the love is deep and the hatred is deep. Oh, no, no. On the contrary, it should be the depth of hatred that is the depth of love. ”

Wei Ning rolled his eyes again, the goodwill he had accumulated just now was suddenly gone, he snorted, and asked rhetorically: "Looking at you like this, I guess you are a veteran of the love field." ”

As he spoke, a figure appeared in his mind, and soon coincided with the handsome guy in front of him, and Wei Ning became more and more unhappy.

This time it was Yan Yufeng's turn to look bitter: "If you know that I was late today, it was because I was chased by a woman for three streets, you would know that I am also a rookie." ”

"Three streets, can you stop bragging?" Wei Ning said annoyedly.

"It's true, I don't know what's going on, I never talk to girls." Yan Yufeng was anxious.

Wei Ning snorted, but his thoughts were all said, but he wanted to find someone to serve as a staff officer, maybe he really had some idea, as soon as he had this thought, the more he thought it was possible, so he said: "Do you think I can save her?" ”

Yan Yufeng dared to pack the ticket, but he still said vaguely: "You have chased you to the United States, how can it be regarded as sincere." ”

Wei Ning muffled: "I came to the United States, and she doesn't know?" ”

"What? What's going on? Yan Yufeng jumped up from the stands and shouted.

"Originally, I knew that she went to high school in New York, USA, but I didn't know what school it was." Wei Ning hurriedly explained.

Yan Yufeng looked at Wei Ning for a long time, staring at Wei Ning in fear, and then said indignantly: "I don't admire you anymore, but I worship, especially worship." ”

Then he still couldn't believe it: "You don't know anything, so you dare to chase after the United States?" ”

Wei Ning sighed: "I won't tell you the joke, when I know that she left China and returned to the United States, my heart is very uncomfortable, I feel meaningless to do anything, I feel like I'm dying every second, and I'm not in the mood to play." ”

"People who can't see her, I know that what I used to pursue was a bunch of ****. I wanted to come to the United States to find her, and even if she didn't forgive me, at least let me see her a few more times, and I would be fine. ”

Yan Yufeng swallowed his saliva, looking at Wei Ning's expression of incomparably hating himself, in the gray night, the faint distortion of his facial features, it became more and more shocking how shocking the pain was.

What about yourself?

Yan Yufeng thought of the person he had thought he had forgotten, but at this moment he appeared in front of him very clearly.

And then another one.

The two smiled in front of their eyes, the same smile, but they made themselves feel different emotions.

What is that?

Suddenly, my heart was in turmoil.

"I'm not as good as you, not as good as you." Yan Yufeng sighed faintly.

Wei Ning looked at Yan Yufeng very strangely, because of the night, he was a little unclear, but from the tone, this person who made him feel very sunny seemed to have a lot of vicissitudes.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Oh, nothing." Yan Yufeng stabilized his emotions, he thought about it, and then said: "How did you come to the United States, it can't be a smuggling, right?" ”

"How is it possible, I am on a tourist visa and have a guarantor!" Wei Ning was anxious.

"Tourist visa? You're under eighteen, how can you be? Yan Yufeng was surprised.

"I made a name for myself in the North Division of the National High School Basketball League, and a club wanted to sign me, and the head coach also valued me, so I didn't agree at first, but in order to come to the United States, I went to ask him for help, so through the club's guarantee, I was considered a player to come to the United States for special training."

"Can it still be like this?" Yan Yufeng thought of Lu Di and Che Jin, they seemed to have become the club's contracted players very early, which means that they may also come to the United States.

"Wait, you're playing in the National High School Basketball League?" Yan Yufeng suddenly found that he had neglected a matter, and couldn't help but hurriedly ask.

Wei Ning nodded: "Yes, it's a pity that I didn't make it to the finals, just a little bit, and I lost to Shenyang No. 31 Middle School." ”

"Shenyang Thirty-one Middle School." Yan Yufeng read softly, thinking that at that time, Coach Shang Lin also analyzed this team, saying that the player structure of this team is reasonable, and there are several players who exceed the strength of the league.

At that time, he also smiled and said that if he defeated Nanyang Model Middle School, he would definitely face Shenyang No. 31 Middle School, and it would be very difficult to win.

At that time, everyone was very unconvinced, but they didn't expect that fate was wonderful, and they would soon meet someone who had fought with them.

I almost won.

"How many points is missing?" Yan Yufeng asked curiously.

'At the end of the score was three points off, but before I was sent off, we were one point off. Wei Ning didn't feel sorry, but explained very seriously: "After I was punished, there was only one and a half minutes left in the game, and you didn't even look at the expressions of the people in Shenyang No. 31 Middle School, just like the people who have been imprisoned for decades and have just been released from prison, with a happy expression." ”

"Impossible." Yan Yufeng couldn't believe it.

"How can't it be, do you think I'm bad? I'm on the inside, and they're going to have at least three people to flank me, do you know there's an open space on the outside? Any one person can shoot a goal. Wei Ning said dissatisfied.

Yan Yufeng thought about the scene of being beaten by Wei Ning's back, and immediately believed it.

"I led the team and swept the whole Northeast, and they were all beaten down. But then again, if you were in Shenyang 31, I wouldn't dare to brag about winning. Wei Ning changed his words, and suddenly confessed very sincerely.

Yan Yufeng laughed: "Promising, good, good." ”

Wei Ning rolled his eyes: "You don't think I'm a sycophant, right?" ”

"How come, the eyes of the masses are bright." Yan Yufeng dared to admit it.

"Seriously, you're the first one I've ever met a powerful master, and have you ever played in the National High School League?" Wei Ning asked.

Yan Yufeng put away his smiling face, remembered his time in Beiyang, and then said to Wei Ning: "If you don't get punished, I don't get hurt, we should meet in Shanghai." ”

Wei Ning didn't speak.

The two of them remembered what they said before.

There is providence in the dark.
