Chapter 238: Ouyang Haoyu
Summer 2016. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Yard High School, Florida, USA.
Yard School is not a well-known secondary school in Florida, but the environment is quite beautiful, and there are rows of thick trees on the left and right sides of a large road inside the school gate, and if you can look down on the whole school from above, you will be surprised to find that the school is actually built in a symmetrical way.
The majority of students here are white, and occasionally you can see a few Asian-American yellow people on the road, and as for blacks, they are very few and far between.
It was now half past four in the afternoon local time, and the small gymnasium in the north of the school was constantly making a "knock knock" sound.
It looks like the basketball team is training in the gymnasium.
The school of Yard Middle School is mediocre in all aspects, and only basketball is slightly outstanding.
After Ouyang Haoyu saw his teammate's white center grab the rebound, he ran briskly towards the front court with an arrow step. The tall and thin black man beside him was startled, and he also took a step forward and quickly caught up with Ouyang Haoyu.
The white center's long pass was very accurate, and he passed the ball to Ouyang Haoyu's hands at once. But after Ouyang Haoyu received the ball, he was surprised to find that the thin and tall black man was already waving his arms in front of him.
Damn it! Ouyang Haoyu scolded secretly in his heart: Sanders, why is this product so fast!
Sanders Bryan, a sophomore at Yard High School, is one of the very rare black people in Yard High School. He is 188 tall and weighs only 70 kilograms, but he has an outrageous 204 in his reach. Because of his long hands and feet, he has a strong advantage in the sport of basketball.
After the last junior high school generation left, especially after getting rid of the trouble of Kaiouli, Ouyang Haoyu can finally ascend to the throne of the starter. However, a Sanders was temporarily transferred, and Sanders's position was the same as Ouyang Haoyu's, playing the position of a scoring guard.
Although the coach often makes full use of Ouyang Haoyu and Saunders' skills and uses the tactics of three defenders to play games, Ouyang Haoyu is still secretly competing with this Sanders.
He didn't want to be compared to Sanders.
"Dude!" Sanders shouted, Ouyang Haoyu didn't leave him at all, and wanted to get past Sanders with a switch of footsteps.
"It's not that easy!" Sanders whispered, taking advantage of his gibbon, he reached out and broke the ball in Ouyang Haoyu's hand.
"Damn it!" Ouyang Haoyu's pupils shrank, this guy's steal caught people off guard, he thought that this distance could successfully avoid the steal, but he didn't expect that this ball was still broken by Sanders.
"Dirk! Don't mess around! His teammates shouted at Ouyang Haoyu on the side.
"Got it!" Ouyang Haoyu shouted and chased after Sanders.
I have to say that Sanders's physical advantage is too great, with long hands and long feet, which means that he doesn't need too fast to run to the highest speed, and Ouyang Haoyu will find it difficult to catch up with Sanders.
Seeing Sanders throw the ball in on the fast break, Ouyang Haoyu held his knees and gasped for breath.
In two weeks, he will become one of the graduates, but he still hasn't been able to take advantage of Sanders.
Ouyang Haoyu received the ball from his teammates in the front court, and looked at the paper scoreboard on the sidelines, his white team scored 16 points, and Sanders' black team scored 18 points.
Today's training content is a ten-minute full-court match, and the team's two strongest scorers, Ouyang Haoyu and Saunders, were sent to the white team and the black team respectively.
In fact, Ouyang Haoyu's performance today was quite good, and among the sixteen points scored by the whole team, he scored ten points. In the face of Sanders' defense, except for a little more turnovers, the shooting percentage is okay.
In contrast, although Sanders scored a little less, the number of assists and rebounds was a little more than Ouyang Haoyu, and the organization of this kind of aspect is not good at hobbies, and Sanders is relatively all-round.
Ouyang Haoyu thought in his heart: At least this intra-team confrontation can't be lost.
"Dirk, come on!" Sanders smiled, as if he was looking forward to this heads-up with Ouyang Haoyu.
In fact, the moment he broke the ball just now was just Sanders' first break of the ball, and he was still very cautious about Ouyang Haoyu's defense before.
ShitοΌ Ouyang Haoyu secretly complained in his heart, as long as Sanders defends himself seriously, then his hit rate will definitely not be good.
But if you retreat at this time, then you will definitely leave a big regret after graduation.
Ouyang Haoyu began to dribble towards Sanders.
Sanders opened his arms and squatted steadily inside the three-point line, and he didn't seem to have any flaws in his defense, and the defensive area should not be underestimated.
Ouyang Haoyu thought about it for a while and quickly made a decision.
Holding the ball in his left hand, dribbling in front of him with a low hand, dribbling the ball to your hand, and at the same time a feint to the right, Sanders' footsteps moved, but his center of gravity was not deceived.
Ouyang Haoyu seized the opportunity of Sanders' footsteps, and quickly slapped the ball back with his right hand, and the whole person broke through to the left with a heavy shoulder.
Sanders quickly followed, but Ouyang Haoyu suddenly stopped at this time.
Sanders's brows furrowed, Ouyang Haoyu's action was very familiar to him. It can be said that as long as Ouyang Haoyu stops halfway through, then he will definitely have to use his variable speed to break through.
Variable speed breakthrough requires extremely high requirements for observation and reflexes, generally speaking, few people can successfully master this way of excellence, but Ouyang Haoyu is one of the few people who have mastered this way.
Otherwise, how could he possibly gain a foothold in a high school in the United States! It's almost impossible to do without a stunt.
In order to guard against Ouyang Haoyu's breakthrough, Sanders retreated slightly.
At this time, Ouyang Haoyu seemed to catch Sanders's push back, and jumped up and shot directly with a step back.
When Ouyang Haoyu jumped up to make a shooting pose, Sanders also jumped up at the same time, although Sanders did not jump as high as Ouyang Haoyu, but he used his long arm advantage to successfully shorten the distance between the two.
But to Sanders' surprise, Ouyang Haoyu's step-back jumper this time was not backwards. Instead, it is in the opposite direction, that is, in the direction of itself.
When Sanders wanted to react, Ouyang Haoyu had already put his hand on Sanders's hand and made a crisp "pop" sound.
"Beep-" The referee in the team immediately blew the whistle, Ouyang Haoyu was very smart and witty in making a foul this time.
"Dirk, that's pretty good!" After Sanders landed, he crossed his hands on his waist and shook his head with a bitter smile.
Ouyang Haoyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "I won't use the same tactics every time!" β
"Good, our showdown isn't over yet." Sanders nodded, then walked outside the three-point line and waited for Ouyang Haoyu's free throw.
He knew very well in his heart that his strength was above Ouyang Haoyu, but even so, he still maintained a very respectful attitude towards Ouyang Haoyu. After all, Ouyang Haoyu is one of the few players in this team who can fight with him in two moves.
He also enjoyed every heads-up with Ouyang Haoyu very much.
"Brush!" Ouyang Haoyu hit both free throws, and the score became 18:18.
"Hey guys, it's the last offense! If you lose, you have to run ten laps around the stadium! On the sidelines, the coach with white hair, a high nose bridge, and a very obvious forehead wrinkle clapped his hands and shouted.
"Oh, damn it, forgot to save time!" Ouyang Haoyu secretly thought in his heart that it was impossible to win this game in this situation now, and it was best to pray to prevent this attack and let both sides have no punishment!
Sanders dribbled to the frontcourt, and the opponent Ouyang Haoyu said: "Dirk, I won't release water just because you want to run laps." β
"I don't need you to release the water, I can prevent it myself!" Ouyang Haoyu touched his nose and said retorted.
Sanders smiled slightly, and suddenly passed the ball out.
"Sanders, are you going to run away!" Ouyang Haoyu couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
Sanders said blandly: "Are you really a fool? β
"Let's go head-on!" Ouyang Haoyu said angrily.
But Sanders did not take the initiative to fight Ouyang Haoyu alone, and this time the attack was successfully thrown by his teammates.
βF*uckοΌβ Ouyang Haoyu scolded angrily, and was the first to throw the door out and run towards the stadium.
"How do you defend against people!" Ouyang Haoyu said to the white player who had made a defensive mistake just now.
"My bad!" The white player raised his hand in apology.
"Run ten laps around the 400-meter stadium, do you still need to study when you go back?" Ouyang Haoyu said in a low voice, and he took a step and started running.
But after he had run a lap, he noticed that Sanders had unwittingly appeared in front of him, and was running there as he did.
"Hey! Sanders, why are you running too. Ouyang Haoyu quickened his pace and ran to Sanders's side.
Sanders said with a blank face: "Because I didn't make the last shot, Coach David let me run." β
"Hehe, I'll just say, it's not good to escape from reality!" Ouyang Haoyu snorted, and seemed to have some schadenfreude.
Sanders said, "If I insist on going head-to-head, you can't win against me!" β
Ouyang Haoyu wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case. said: "Although the winning margin is a little smaller, how do you know if you don't try!" β
Sanders said: "I have to say that the strength of our team is better than yours, and David's arrangement is not fair to you. To be honest, I was surprised that you were able to lead the team to this scoreline. β
"It's like I'm weak before!" Ouyang Haoyu laughed weirdly.
Saunders continued: "Sam, your small forward, is so weak, it feels like a beginner! I think our small forward Steve has the highest success rate when attacking Sam. β
"Is that why you dodged the lore ball?" Ouyang Haoyu asked.
Sanders shook his head and smiled, "I'm not going to run away!" But I'm very sane, aren't I? β
"I think I'll understand that being you is educating me!" Ouyang Haoyu had a trace of dissatisfaction.
"Whatever you think, I'm just giving you a piece of advice!"
"Hey, man, I don't want to admit it, but I still have to admit that I will graduate in two weeks, and this team will be your world from now on!" Ouyang Haoyu said with a smile.
Sanders said expressionlessly: "If you leave, there will be nothing particularly interesting about this team, I think I will leave too!" β
"And where are you going?"
"And where are you going?"
"I, I think I'll probably go back to China, right?" Ouyang Haoyu thought for a while and said.
"Do you want to go back to China to abuse vegetables?" Sanders smiled and quickened his pace.
"Damn, why are you running so fast!" Ouyang Haoyu gritted his teeth and also quickened his pace to keep up.
"It's not like going back to China to abuse vegetables, and China is not as weak as you think!" Ouyang Haoyu said a little out of breath, "I find that I can't stay in the United States anymore." β
"Dirk, you know what? You're a little too alone sometimes. Sanders said.
"So what? Give them to them, and they won't be able to vote! Of course, Ouyang Haoyu knows that he has always been not very popular in the team, because his usual passes are too few.
"Teammates are weak, but a basketball team can't always have the same strength of all five people! There will always be strong and weak. However, it is impossible for a long to be strong and weak in every turn, and it is impossible to be weak in every round! Sanders said, "I'll hurry up!" β
Ouyang Haoyu chased after him again with all his might, and said, "Are you warning me something!" β
Sanders also gasped a little: "You have to learn to share the ball, when to pass to whom has the highest success rate." Unless you're already up to NBA level, then you don't have to think about it. β
β¦β¦
"Sanders, let's have a final heads-up!" Ouyang Haoyu came directly to the classroom of the second year of junior high school with a ball in his hand and found Sanders.
Sanders glanced at Ouyang Haoyu who came over, nodded and said, "I'll do what you want!" β
There is a basketball court on the north side of the teaching building, and after Ouyang Haoyu and Sanders came to the basketball court, they found a random court to warm up.
"I really can't accept your idea!" Ouyang Haoyu said, "It seems to be a little difficult for me to pass the ball! β
"Don't always insist on your personal heroism! If you are transferred to another slightly stronger secondary school, then you may not even be the second leader of the team, so how can you continue your heroism? "What's more, what if the other team has a strong player with the same personal heroism as you, then don't you even touch the ball?" Will you be satisfied? β
Ouyang Haoyu was stunned for a moment, he also thought of this question last night. But he basically can't imagine anyone else in China's high school who is better than himself, so he doesn't think too much about this matter.
"If you keep going, you're going to hit a wall, and sometimes you have to pay a price." Sanders said.
"Hehe, you little ghost, you seem to be very old-fashioned!" Ouyang Haoyu said with a smile.
"What's the old way?" Sanders obviously didn't understand Yang Haoyu's words.
"Guess what!" Ouyang Haoyu said angrily.
The heads-up between the two finally began, and the match was played using the standard American 1:1 bullfighting rules. Eleven-ball decision is made, swapping serve in turns, and grabbing rebounds is allowed.
Since you can grab rebounds, the heads-up moves between two people have become a little more fancy. Basically, every offense can be successfully played, and even if it can't be played, there is a high probability that you can grab an offensive rebound and continue to attack.
"Brush!" Sanders finally hit a shot from beyond the three-point line, and according to the rules, the three-point shot counts as two points, and now the score has become 7:5, and Sanders leads by two points.
"Brush!" Sanders easily shook off Ouyang Haoyu's center of gravity, and then hit a backhand layup into the basket.
Ouyang Haoyu felt a little tired, and I have to say that Sanders' personal ability is really very strong. His strength is placed in other powerful middle schools, and he should also be ranked as a big leader, or a second leader!
But why would he choose a pass with a lower success rate?
Ouyang Haoyu felt that he couldn't think about this question.
Sanders is indeed stronger than himself, but he didn't find out that he was beaten by him to the point where he was powerless.
This seems to be the difference in basketball IQ!
Ouyang Haoyu seemed to realize something, and he suddenly felt that what Sanders said had a certain amount of truth.
A strong person cannot be strong every time he attacks, and a weak person cannot be weak every time he attacks.
Do you have to divide the occasion when you play singles?
β¦β¦
Shaoguan, Guangdong, China.
After returning to this old place, Ouyang Haoyu found that the basketball level here was really poor. The school he attended, didn't even have a decent basketball team.
How can you make yourself happy with such a basketball atmosphere!
After returning to China, I basically spent my days in a state of confusion.
And China's basketball league is not as popular as in the United States, where basketball leagues among students are much more unpopular. Basically no one went to see it.
After returning to China, he had a general understanding that China is divided into junior and senior high school basketball leagues, as well as college basketball leagues. Both leagues have a national competition system, while high schools in the United States only have state competitions, which may be the only advantage.
Ouyang Haoyu also wants to participate, but first, the selection tournament in Guangdong Province has begun, but his school has not participated in any large-scale ball games at all, and if he doesn't participate now, it is estimated that he will not participate in the future!
Until one day.
"Shaoguan No. 4 Middle School defeated Dongguan Guangming Middle School 92:86, the best point guard of Shaoguan No. 4 Middle School in the whole game, No. 14 Wu Yichen ......" Ouyang Haoyu squinted, as if he had seen it wrong.
"What?"
Ouyang Haoyu suspected that he had read it wrong.
Wu Yichen played 26 minutes and scored 18 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 turnovers.
"It's only been 26 minutes to get such comprehensive data? Is he just too strong, or is his opponent too weak......" Ouyang Haoyu muttered to himself, he finally made up his mind.
Video games are a precious memory of his childhood, when his father took him to play a video game, which left a deep impression on Ouyang Haoyu.
"Good!" After Ouyang Haoyu pressed the button, the marbles suddenly hit the item with the highest score, and hundreds of lottery tickets were spit out of the lottery mouth at once.
"It's amazing, you can buy a lot of drinks!" Ouyang Haoyu secretly thought while packing up the lottery ticket,
"I'm rubbing! Almost beat you! A male voice suddenly came from behind him, and Ouyang Haoyu subconsciously turned his head to look.
Zhang Fan stood in front of the basketball machine with his head in his hands, and shouted regretfully.
"What are you talking about, you can't even pass the third level of the shooting machine, which is also called a little close?" Wu Yichen smiled.
Ouyang Haoyu was stunned for a moment after seeing Wu Yichen, why is this person a little familiar?
Hey? He seems to be ......
Ouyang Haoyu saw that Wu Yichen's score for this shot was only more than 350 points, while the score he got just now was more than 400 points.
A kind of disdain rose in his heart, Ouyang Haoyu said: "What, it turns out that the MVP of Guangdong Province is at this level." β
Wu Yichen glanced back at Ouyang Haoyu.
β¦β¦
The first time I saw my peers in China, I would shoot backwards and jumpers! Ouyang Haoyu was no longer angry at the moment, but was excited.
The ball spun around the basket and landed in the net.
Eleven to eight.
"It looks like I won this game." Wu Yichen gasped, and after saying a word, he walked off the field, came to the bench where Zhang Fan was sitting, picked up a white towel, wiped it casually, and then said something to Zhang Fan, and the two got up and walked out of the stadium.
Ouyang Haoyu's pupils contracted suddenly, because he happened to see the soles of Wu Yichen's shoes that were about to wear out when he lifted his feet and walked......
Ouyang Haoyu was the only one left in the arena, and Ouyang Haoyu squatted in the circle in the center of the court, holding his legs with both hands and burying his head in it.
At this moment, he realized that his level was not as high as he thought. He realized that he had overestimated himself before.
He always thought that after staying in the United States for several years, he was already invincible in the country in terms of basketball. But today it hit a wall.
He suddenly remembered what Sanders had said.
Maybe I should experience what it's like to be in charge?
Ouyang Haoyu laughed at himself, walked out of the gymnasium with a towel draped over his shoulders.
Shaoguan No. 4 Middle School, I'm here!
Wu Yichen, I'm here! I'm going to beat you.
