Chapter 55: Wild Ball
American basketball is divided into street basketball and college basketball, and the styles of the two basketballs are naturally very different, and the audience level is also very different.
In general, collegiate basketball is called orthodox basketball, while street basketball is mostly performative and belongs to two opposing basketball styles.
But in the field, these two basketball styles do not conflict, and some people are even more nondescript and have two styles at the same time. When playing in the regular field, there will be an occasional street trick, which is always cool.
However, for pure street basketball, it symbolizes darkness and violence, so it is rejected by orthodox academic basketball and is considered an outlier.
Therefore, some legendary street basketball masters are ultimately unacceptable to the NBA because of their connection with the underworld forces on the street and the mixing of drugs, violence and other elements.
Therefore, generally those who can enter the NBA need to go through the transformation of the university and be able to enter the NBA on the premise of excellent grades. It is this requirement that guarantees the regularity of the NBA, which is not particularly chaotic and full of dark violence.
Therefore, compared to the professionals of street basketball, NBA players are considered "good boys" to some extent.
In the United States, basketball courts are everywhere, there are always a lot of people playing, and the scene is always chaotic and full of violent elements. Among these populations, they are broadly divided into three main categories, yellows, whites, and blacks.
The yellow race in the United States plays very literary, and sometimes they don't care if the ball can't be scored, they always like to call a foul first, and the game always makes people feel bored. In this respect, it is very similar to that in China.
Yellow people are generally at a low level, and they are very deficient in body and technology, so they generally do not play with blacks and whites, so they form a group of their own.
As for the white people, the white people in the United States are also average, but they are very physical, willing to fight, and very team minded, sometimes you just run out of position and the ball will pass the first time.
Therefore, basketball among whites is very interesting, and for some yellow people who are good and not lone wolves, whites are often willing to let them join in the game.
The basketball style of white and yellow people is generally predominantly academic, so these two types of people are probably a group.
Finally, there are the blacks, and it has to be said that the blacks have an advantage in sports that no other race can match, they are very good physically, and they seem to play with a natural sense of rhythm.
Blacks generally play basketball at a high level and play with a ferocious play, making it easy to dominate the game.
Of course, the black people on the streets of the United States are also the most unqualified, and they often fight and conflict because of a disagreement.
So, basketball among blacks is generally very chaotic and full of violence. Plus the difference in strength, therefore, the whites and yellows do not play with them either.

Russell Field near UCLA's Los Angeles campus.
Because of the weekend, it was already crowded at this time.
There was a lot of competition going on on several courts, the scene was intense, and the attention of the people around was watching the game.
Therefore, the arrival of Chu Xuan and Whiteside did not attract attention.
However, it didn't take long for someone to recognize them.
"That is the Lakers' Hassan Whiteside? The Chinese assistant teacher next to him who seemed to be the Lakers was called Chu Xuan. ”
"Oh, really, they're public figures, I didn't expect them to be here."
……
Hearing the surrounding discussions, Chu Xuan and Whiteside glanced at each other, seemingly a little helpless.
Speaking of which, they are not famous people, but they can cause such an effect in their daily lives. What if it's very famous?
Chu Xuan looked at the crowd of people who were extremely excited, and suddenly understood the distress of some celebrities in his heart.
Because this is Los Angeles, most of these people are Lakers fans. Therefore, when they met Chu Xuan and Whiteside, their enthusiasm was very high.
"Hey, Hassan, do you want to play together?"
Soon, a strong black man, who was about two meters in size, sent an invitation to Whiteside.
There were eight people in the venue where this black strong man was located, all of them were very old, all of them were black, and they were generally very tall. However, judging from their physique and clothing, these people should not play street basketball. Therefore, it is possible to play it.
Whiteside's face was a little excited, but the team has a rule that during the season, no jungle is allowed to avoid accidental injury.
"Chu, do you want to play?" Whiteside looked at Chu Xuan and asked for advice.
Chu Xuan hadn't played for a long time, and he was also very excited.

Zhang Yang held the ball, walked out of the gate of the residential building, and habitually looked at the court not far away.
At one of the sites, a group of people gathered around while everyone else was looking in one direction. The people who were playing on the various fields stopped and looked in the direction of the crowd.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but be a little curious, could it be that there is a celebrity?
Thinking so in his heart, Zhang Yang quickly trotted towards the court.
When he came to the crowd, Zhang Yang saw clearly the people who were surrounded, a yellow man and a big black man.
"It turned out to be Chu Xuan, and that was Whiteside." Seeing the appearance of the two clearly, Zhang Yang couldn't help but be surprised.
At this moment, I heard a voice in the distance: "Hey, Hassan, do you want to play together?" ”
The speaker was a black strong man, Zhang Yang knew him and played with him a few times, and the black strong man's name was George.
According to Zhang Yang's understanding, George's gang was retired from the US army. It belongs to the style of the army, and it is brutal and tough. But they rarely clash with people, and they don't excluse Caucasians and yellows. So a lot of masters are also happy to play with them.
"Hey George, I think you should count me in." Before Chu Xuan and Whiteside could speak, Zhang Yang had already shouted.
*******
When George heard the voice, he was slightly stunned, turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Yang, and couldn't help laughing: "James, you are absolutely indispensable, come together!" ”
Chu Xuan was a little surprised when he saw someone coming, it turned out to be a guy with the same skin color as him, but he didn't know which country it was?
According to the scout's natural eyesight, Chu Xuan quickly had a certain estimate of Zhang Yang's situation. Zhang Yang's height is slightly shorter than Whiteside, and he should be about two meters and six. However, his body is not strong enough, and his muscle content can only be considered average.
"Are you coming?"
George agreed to Zhang Yang, and then turned his head to look at Chu Xuan.
Whiteside said in a low voice: "Chu, it seems that it should be your compatriot, he dares to play together, I think there is no problem." Why don't you have fun together? ”
Chu Xuan thought about it and nodded.
