Chapter 164: The Second Team Teaching Assistant

There were eleven boys in the court, and all but eight of them were four-on-four, and the other three were training on the other side of the basket. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Butler, who had just greeted Yan Yufeng, was training to shoot, he kept picking up the basketballs he thrown, and then continued to shoot in any position, and the cycle continued.

The other one is half a head taller than Butler, Yan Yufeng visually estimated that the white boy who is almost 1.9 meters old is practicing hook hands under the basket, the boy is very thin, it can be described as a bamboo pole, his shooting training is no different from Butler, the same is to pick up the ball, shoot, pick up the ball, continue to shoot.

There was also a boy who was very short, maybe Coach Sodi was standing next to him, he was practicing dribbling with him half a head taller, the boy was standing still, bending over to practice the figure eight dribble, and the basketball was bouncing along his feet.

Yan Yufeng focused on the four-on-four confrontation on the other side again.

The two teams of boys in blue and black jerseys were jolting each other, with the blue team clearly becoming more skilled in passing, while the black team did not fall behind in the slightest through the solo performance of a stout black teenager.

No matter which color team scored, the other team did a push-up on the spot, Yan Yufeng looked at it for a while, and found that the blue team, which had better team cooperation, did five more push-ups than the black team.

Seeing this, Thorne suddenly said: "His name is Chris Ian, do you think he has the ability to enter the first team?" ”

"A team?" Yan Yufeng was silent for a moment and said, "His body is very strong, if this alone is based on this, it is okay to enter the first team." After saying that, he looked at Sodi, and stopped talking.

Sodi instead got in good spirits, and he said: "Your eyesight is good, Chris's technique is too poor, but because his body is too strong, at the level of 15 years old, it is almost crushing." ”

Now that the coach has admitted it, Yan Yufeng is not easy to hide, so he said: "His dribbling is very average, but his skills in attacking the basket with one step of dribbling are very skillful, and it is easy to score with his body." In addition, his shooting may be very inconsistent, his shots are too fast, and a lot of the balls are smashed into the basket instead of being thrown. ”

Thorne's expression became more serious, he nodded from time to time, and suddenly he asked, "If you train him, what will be your first step?" ”

"I'm going to train him?" Yan Yufeng felt very surprised, but looking at Sodi's appearance, he had to think about it seriously before saying, "I will let him learn to shoot first." ”

"Oh, to be specific." Sodi scratched her hair and said with interest.

"Only by improving his shooting ability will his breakthrough be more threatening. And then use his breakthrough to do the crossing, I think it will help the team. Yan Yufeng said.

"It looks like we're going to have a lot of topics to discuss." Sodi looked forward to the future first, and then changed the topic: "I watched a few of your games, and I appreciate your style on the court, but I didn't imagine what you would be like in my team, but the world is wonderful, and many things are always overwhelming." ”

"Thank you, Coach."

"I know the reason why you lowered the second team, so I made a temporary idea, but I didn't expect it to start to be realized so soon." Sody looked happy.

Yan Yufeng secretly screamed that it was not good, but he couldn't get away, so he had to ask stubbornly: "But I don't have enough time now." ”

Sodi didn't care, but said, "I think, there should still be an hour a day." ”

Yan Yufeng had to reluctantly explain: "If it's morning, it's better to be in the morning, there are still some, other times, I'm really sorry." ”

"Morning, this is good." Sodi seemed to have made up his mind that he had to occupy Yan Yufeng's time. He pointed to the boys on the pitch and said: "For some reason, I am the only coach left in the second team, I don't have enough manpower, I hope to get your help." ”

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Yan Yufeng replied quietly.

"It's actually very simple, I need a player with a lot of practical knowledge to coach the second team, these guys are very talented players, but for my own reasons, there are a lot of basketball skills, I can't train them. At this age, it's deadly, and I don't want to delay them. Sodi explained very frankly.

The reason for itself? Yan Yufeng muttered in his heart, and after glancing at the short Sodi beside him a few times, he immediately understood. Sodi is obviously not a retired player turned coach, and it is very likely that he, like Coach Shang Lin, was born in the academy. The academy has a great innate advantage in tactics and overall coordination, but in terms of training players alone, it is very weak compared to retired players who turn coaches.

Because, as a player, at least before he retired, the time he played was a very long career, and he must have his own unique understanding and practical knowledge of solo technology.

At that time, Shang Lin was also motivated by this consideration, so he kept encouraging Yan Yufeng to come to the United States to study in high school.

However, Sodi's request still surprised Yan Yufeng, this is the first time in his life that he has been invited to be a coach, he has played until now, and he has really not taught others how to be proficient.

"I'm really surprised that I haven't taught anyone before." Yan Yufeng thought about it, even though he was a little moved in his heart, he still refused to say.

Sodi was not discouraged, maybe he didn't have a lot of hope at the beginning, he was still very optimistic and said: "In my opinion, you don't have to worry about this. I've seen your game, your shots, your offense, your defense, your sense of personal ability, all of which are better than your peers. And in my opinion, this is definitely not caused by your instinct, your basketball skills have a certain inheritance and personal understanding in place. I guessed correctly. ”

Facing Sodi's affirmative tone, Yan Yufeng said: "From my point of view, isn't this just for me to hold a training camp?" ”

Facing Yan Yufeng's questioning, Sodi naturally admitted: "My original intention was to let you have a training camp, Viper Training Camp, this name sounds very good." ”

Sodi paused, and then said, "Actually, it will be good for you to agree to this request. I don't mean bribery, you're going through a phase where you're absorbing a lot of basketball knowledge and shaping yourself, and maybe having a training camp will help you. ”

"Huh?" Yan Yufeng didn't expect that Sodi would speak like this in a different way, he couldn't help but enter a fast thinking mode, and he vaguely felt that his words were not necessarily unreasonable.

"Well, what do you need me to do? Can you be more detailed? Yan Yufeng felt that it was impossible for him to refuse the invitation of a second-team coach, he was not an unruly person, and he would still accept his elders and theoretical superiors and subordinates as long as he did not go against his personal wishes.

Sodi heard Yan Yufeng's promise, and he didn't show a smile on his face, from the beginning of the conversation, he had a paralyzed expression, and the whole process, even if he was asking Yan Yufeng, he was also serious.

This made Yan Yufeng feel that the person in front of him had some unfathomable feelings.

"It's very simple, in order to save time, I won't let you coach all the players, you just need to coach Jimmy, Ian, and Simmons, the tallest man on our team, who you have just met." As he spoke, Sody pointed to the white bamboo pole kid who was still training under the basket.

"Three people." Yan Yufeng still felt a little drumming in his heart, his gaze shifted to the short dribbling boy, and looked at Sodi with some doubts.

"That's my son, he doesn't belong to the second team." Thorne casually explained.

Then he said: "Ian, like you said, you help him master the passing skills, Simmons, he's not good enough to help them, he needs you to help them, and as for Jimmy, he may need to take a little bit of effort." ”

"What do you mean?" Yan Yufeng asked.

Sodi was obviously cautious, he paused, and then said slowly: "Jimmy, I personally think he is very talented, but what I value more is his character, his heart is as pure as an angel in the earth, but he has a very good and strong willpower, this is a very good material, the most talented player I have ever seen." If you can, I want you to help him as much as you can. ”

Yan Yufeng was obviously stunned by Sodi's words, many people may hear this, the first thing is exaggerated, and the second will immediately feel offended. Yan Yufeng also had these two feelings, but soon, he stopped thinking about it, and looking at the somewhat dignified Sodi, Yan Yufeng promised: "I will do my best." ”

Sodi nodded, and he struck while the iron was hot, and asked, "Why don't you start now?" ”

"Now?" Yan Yufeng was a little unprepared, and before he could say anything, Sodi had already blown the whistle, and with a whistle, these fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys gathered in front of Sodi sweating profusely.

"This is Bigy, he's going to host a short-term training camp here, he's been a well-known player in the AND1 Division 1 league, and the Viper's nickname is resounding throughout Brooklyn. I would like to ask you, would you like to participate? Sodi introduced it in extremely exaggerated words, and then looked at Yan Yufeng who was standing beside him.

It was not pleasant to be excited and curious by these boys who were only two or three years younger than him, although Yan Yufeng was extremely unhappy with Sodi's salesman-like words, but he had to cheer up and smile on his face: "I am very surprised by Coach Sodi's request, but since I have agreed, I hope I can share some of my understanding of basketball with you." ”

Yan Yufeng glanced sideways at Sodi, and then continued: "My training is very strict, I hope you can persevere." With that, he glanced at Sodi again.

Sodi didn't care about Yan Yufeng, he didn't seem to understand what Yan Yufeng wanted to express, he opened his mouth and greeted: "Ian, you come out first." ”

Ian heard the words and walked out, he was indeed a very strong black boy, he had a wide skeleton, broad shoulders, and was only a little over 1.8 meters tall, but his stocky body made him look like he was taller than Simmons, a bamboo pole man.

He hugged the basketball and looked at Yan Yufeng, an expression of disapproval appeared on his face, Yan Yufeng saw it in his eyes, and he didn't say much, he knew that this was the first problem Thorne gave him, and if he wanted to pass the test smoothly today, it would be up to him to tame this little bison.

Yan Yufeng walked to the court, and then said to Ian, "First of all, I want to see your shots. ”

Ian suddenly looked a little uncomfortable, but he felt strange just now, and subconsciously let him accept Yan Yufeng's request, he took the ball and walked towards Yan Yufeng, when he just walked into the three-point line within one step, Yan Yufeng spoke.

"Right here, with this distance as a standard, you can shoot ten balls for me at any angle."

Ian looked at the basket, probably thinking it was beyond his ability, but he started silently.

With everyone watching, Ian's ten balls start from zero and end from zero.

The boys next to the pitch began to giggle and burst into faint laughter, and Ian's round face darkened even more, and he muttered, "You passed me the ball, it's too hard." ”

In the face of Ian's reasoning, Yan Yufeng did not refute, but said: "Then let's start ten balls again." ”

Ian obviously didn't expect Yan Yufeng to take him in this way, so he had to start silently.

This time, Yan Yufeng's pass was not so fast, and several of them were still ground passes, but despite this, Ian's shooting rate was only 30%, that is, three out of ten.

Faced with this result, Ian relaxed instead, and Yan Yufeng suddenly saw that this might have exceeded his normal level.

Yan Yufeng took the ball and began his first lecture in his life: "From the twenty shots just now, I saw at least four or five of your shooting postures, I want to ask, do you know it yourself?" ”

When Yan Yufeng passed the ball just now, he used different forces, just to force the receiver to expose his shooting habits through different passes.

It's a pity that Ian is clearly shooting and has done too little homework.

Ian's originally natural expression suddenly became as if he had been humiliated, and he instantly turned red, and he looked at Yan Yufeng viciously and bit his lip. (To be continued.) )
