Chapter Ninety-Four: Step-Back Jumper
It was a weekend, Lin Qinran was lying on the bed in his bedroom, and he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and opened the envelope. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at the other one on the bookshelf at the head of the bed, Lin Qinran's face turned red, and Wu Yichen's stupid appearance flashed in his mind.
What did he write?
……
Wu Yichen's foot recovery is really better than expected, and now there is still a week and a half before the Guangdong Division of the National Competition, Wu Yichen knows that there is not much time, and he must seize the time to improve his strength as much as possible in this week and a half.
Wu Yichen dialed a phone number, this phone was specially asked by Hu Zhe before, when Hu Zhe asked him curiously what he wanted this phone number for, Wu Yichen replied that he wanted to improve his strength.
"Connecting you to the phone......"
"Hello!" There was a somewhat groggy male voice on the other end of the phone, and the person on the other end was a little strange, it was seven o'clock on Saturday morning, at the beginning of December, and it was just after dawn, and the phone number was so unfamiliar, he really wondered who was calling him.
Wu Yichen smiled and said, "Hey, do you remember me?" ”
The young man on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, trying to think in his mind about who the owner of this voice was.
Wu Yichen no longer let him guess: "Guzi, I'm Wu Yichen!" ”
"It's you!" Gu Zi on the other end of the phone was obviously very surprised, his drowsiness was obviously reduced a little, and he asked suspiciously, "Are you Wu Yichen?" ”
Wu Yichen said with some amusement: "What, can't my voice change?" ”
Gu Zi said: "No, what is the matter with you looking for me so early in the morning?" ”
Wu Yichen said: "Then I'll get straight to the point!" Remember what I said when we first played? ”
Gu Zi thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't remember, the two of them hadn't seen each other much recently, and said, "I don't remember, you can say it!" ”
Wu Yichen smiled: "You promised me to teach me to lean back!" You know, before the league, there was no time, and then recently I got injured again! No, I was just injured, so I came to you? ”
Gu Zi reacted at this time, and said with a smile: "So that's the case!" However, I think you're already shooting well, so why bother looking for me as an unknown guy? ”
Wu Yichen said: "How can I say that, although my shooting is good, but I obviously feel that my height is very disadvantaged, although I am still growing my body, but don't you listen to one more skill?" ”
Gu Zi said: "You are really a person who regards basketball as his life!" No wonder he became the MVP of Shaoguan City. ”
Wu Yichen said: "Don't mention the past, are you free now?" ”
"Of course, I just got up!"
"Then you can name a place, and I'll go look for you!" Wu Yichen said a little impatiently.
Gu Zi smiled and said: "Where I live, you don't know me, let's go to school!" On the basketball court of the school, I will teach you hand in hand, and you will be invincible in the province by shooting! ”
"That's great! It's so decided, meet at the school's basketball court at 7:45! Wu Yichen hung up the phone excitedly, and then ran to the station.
Gu Zi listened to the beep of the phone hanging up in a daze, couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, shook his head, got out of bed, put on his slippers, and went to wash.
His home is not far from the school, so he is also a day student, and he is not in a hurry.
Teach him to lean back! It's a real nuisance.
"Sorry, I'm late! I've been waiting for a long time. Wu Yichen ran to the court, waved his hand to Gu Zi, and said a little apologetically.
Guzi took a basket, and the ball smashed into the basket without the net and bounced out.
Gu Zi turned around, looked at Wu Yichen running over, and said, "It's okay!" It's only eight o'clock. ”
Wu Yichen rubbed his hands, sighed in his hands, and said, "It's really cold today!" ”
Gu Zi smiled and said: "Yes, it's quite cold today, and the temperature has dropped a lot, only ten degrees!" Winter is coming. ”
Wu Yichen smiled: "I estimate that if the northerners are here, they will probably be bare-chested men!" ”
"When are you going to start playing the provincial tryouts? Listening to Hu Zhe, this year's competition system is the group stage, so the schedule is relatively tight, and they are all played in Guangzhou! Guzi asked.
Wu Yichen replied: "Yes! It started in more than a week, and I originally wanted to play a few more times at Panlong Gymnasium, but it seems that this time it won't work! But I'm still very excited to play every municipal champion team once, and they didn't have much luck in the knockout round last year! ”
"By the way, your feet ......" Gu Zi looked at Wu Yichen's feet wearing Paul Nine with some concern, and said.
Wu Yichen patted his chest, moved his body and said, "It's okay!" Now I can train with the team, and I have a week to go, and I want to improve as much as I can! Without further ado, you know what I'm looking for you. ”
Gu Zi nodded and said, "Tell me first, what is your favorite thing to see the star leaning back?" ”
Wu Yichen thought for a while, reviewed the recent NBA games, and said, "Including retired ones?" ”
"Of course! They are all classics! Gu Zi spread his hands.
Wu Yichen said without hesitation: "Of course, it's the emperor superstars Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant!" ”
Gu Zi nodded: "It is said that Kobe's back is picturesque, and my back is the subject comparison!" His trick is really incomprehensible. ”
Wu Yichen asked, "How?" ”
Gu Zi beckoned and motioned for Wu Yichen to come over, and after Wu Yichen came over, Gu Zi said, "Look at my back!" ”
Saying that, he took a few steps back, then dribbled to the right side of the free throw line, then stopped and jumped up, and at the same time raised the ball, his body formed a sixty-degree angle with the ground, and then Guzi threw the ball easily.
"Dang!" The ball smashed on the basket and exploded, Gu Zi rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "The weather is too cold, it doesn't feel good!" ”
Wu Yichen expressed understanding: "Is that all? ”
Gu Zi shook his head: "Of course not, there are two directions for leaning back!" It is best to use the emergency stop and tilt back! I think when I first came to the fourth middle school in high school, the seniors dominated the field, so I left one of the most ragged, even the basketball hoops were crooked for us, and then I was very angry, so I went to them to theorize, at that time I was not 1.75 meters! Gu Zi suddenly talked about himself, "Then I relied on my newly learned leaning back and got their approval!" How's that, handsome. ”
Wu Yichen said angrily: "I didn't come here to listen to your story!" My time is precious. ”
Gu Zi pursed his lips: "If I can't do it, I should promise you, why are you like this!" Saying that, he was about to leave, Wu Yichen hurriedly grabbed Gu Zi and said with a smile: "Oh, don't worry about my little belly chicken intestines, hurry up!" ”
Gu Zi smiled and continued: "Leaning back is divided into two directions, it's as simple as that!" ”
Wu Yichen said in disbelief: "How can it be so simple, if it's really not simple, wouldn't everyone know it?" ”
Gu Zi said: "Generally speaking, this is indeed the case, whether it is the back after the single, or the back after the emergency stop, there are only two directions, left and right, this depends on which one your dominant hand is." Most people are right-handed, so they are more accustomed to the right step-back jumper, but the left side is more difficult. ”
As he spoke, Gu Ziyi suddenly rushed to the left, then suddenly stopped, fell backwards naturally in the air, kicked his legs forward naturally, and then threw the ball.
Hollow into the basket.
Gu Zi shook his hand and said, "Actually, the most difficult thing about leaning back is not the action, but the feeling of shooting!" You try it. ”
Wu Yichen nodded, picked up the ball, and then followed the example of Guzi, rushed to the right, and then jumped up to raise the ball with a sharp stop, and at the same time jumped backwards and threw the ball.
Without any collision with the basket, Wu Yichen shot a hollow outside the basket.
Gu Zi said: "That's right, it feels like it's exactly two kinds of shooting from a fixed point shot!" You're shooting so stiffly, you have to imagine that this is what you normally do, just jumping back. ”
Wu Yichen suddenly thought in his heart, yes, he just had to feel like he usually shoots, and he couldn't be too stiff.
Wu Yichen nodded, tried again, stopped sharply, jumped backwards, and threw the ball.
The ball smashed into the inside of the basket and then landed.
"Yes, that's it!" Gu Zi clapped his hands and said encouragingly, "Find a good feeling and practice more." You try the left stop again. ”
Wu Yichen dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, simulating that there was a person in front of him guarding himself, suddenly his body was ****, and then he suddenly rushed to the left, stopped at the free throw line, and then jumped backwards and shot.
"Dang!" The ball smashed into the front of the basket and bounced.
Gu Zi said with some surprise: "Your learning ability is not ordinarily strong!" I did it so well the first time, I think when I first learned, there were seven threes out of ten balls! ”
Wu Yichen laughed 1 and said: "It's not so exaggerated!" Having said that, the backward jumper on the left and right sides really feels different, the left side is more difficult, and it is not so coordinated! ”
Gu Zi nodded, and Wu Yichen said what he thought of again: "Actually, it feels similar to the emergency stop jump shot, and after the emergency stop jump shot is practiced, it should be easier to lean back." ”
Gu Zi shook his finger and said, "You also overlooked an important place. ”
"What?" Wu Yichen was puzzled.
Gu Zi said: "Waist and abdominal strength is the most critical, this is related to your balance when shooting, the most important thing in the backward jump shot is the sense of balance, your waist and abdominal strength looks very good, so it is easier to practice backwards!" ”
Wu Yichen nodded like this, his waist and abdominal strength were outstanding among his peers.
"I'll help you pass the ball, you shoot! Aren't you in a hurry? Gu Zi picked up the ball with a smile, and then passed it to Wu Yichen in a very standard passing position.
Wu Yichen snapped and caught the ball, and said angrily: "Don't be so strong, my hand is still cold, it doesn't hurt!" ”
Gu Zi smiled and didn't say anything more. Wu Yichen dribbled the ball in two steps, then made a sharp stop on the right side and threw a jumper, and the ball smashed into the basket and bounced out. Gu Zi trotted a few steps, and Wu Yichen retreated outside the three-point line at the same time. Gu Zi passed the ball out, Wu Yichen received the ball, dribbled, stopped, leaned back, and shot.
And so on and on, an hour later.
Gu Zi sat next to the basket and complained: "In this way, I am much more tired than you!" If you cast a few more hollows, you'll die! ”
Wu Yichen shrugged helplessly: "What's the solution, I just learned it!" It's only 300 now, so go on! ”
Gu Zi waved his hand, looking like he wasn't helping him pass the ball even if he was killed: "You pick up the ball yourself, I really can't stand it!" Let me take a break. ”
Wu Yichen shook his head, picked up the ball that fell on the sidelines in amusement, and then continued to practice leaning back.
Alone, practicing backward shooting at a speed of 300 per hour, Gu Zi was playing with his mobile phone on the side, Gu Zi saw that it was already half past ten in the morning, and the sound of iron was still playing in his ears, and he secretly admired Wu Yichen in his heart.
Wu Yichen usually doesn't sweat when he plays in winter, but now that his shirt is soaked, Wu Yichen wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, continued to pick up the ball, and shot.
"How many?" Gu Zigang looked up and asked after reading a piece of news.
Wu Yichen smiled: "It's almost a thousand!" Now I'm practicing on the left! ”
Gu Zi looked at Wu Yichen in surprise and asked more accurately than he shot each time, "Did you practice shooting like this before?" ”
"Before?" Wu Yichen grabbed the ball and stopped, and said, "It wasn't like this before the summer vacation!" During the summer vacation, I made about 2,000 three-pointers and free throws a day. ”
Looking at Wu Yichen's indifferent appearance, Gu Zi's jaw was about to fall to the ground, it turned out that his strength was all after such a high-intensity training!
Gu Zi felt admiration in his heart, and smiled slightly: "Okay, then I'll help you." With that, he turned off the phone screen, stood up, and walked under the basket.
Wu Yichen smiled angrily and scolded: "Where did you go for an hour and a half just now!" ”
Gu Zi smiled embarrassedly, but he found that it was much easier to pick up the ball now, Wu Yichen already had three or four hollow shots for ten balls, and one or two would bounce back to Wu Yichen's position after scoring a goal, even if it was iron, it was a relatively normal kind.
"Whew...... ......"Wu Yichen supported his knees with both hands, feeling some soreness in his left ankle, knowing that today's shooting volume has reached the limit, and if he continues to throw, the injury may worsen."
1122, this is Wu Yichen's last shot.
Looking at Wu Yichen's panting appearance, Gu Zi looked at the time. It's already past eleven o'clock, and Wu Yichen's clothes are already soaked, if this is the case, he may catch a cold.
Guzi asked, "Did you bring your clothes here?" ”
Wu Yichen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "God knows that I sweated so much today, I didn't sweat in winter before!" ”
Gu Zi hurriedly said: "You can't do this, my family is out of here, or you can go to my house to change your clothes first, I have a few relatively large clothes." ”
"Okay." Wu Yichen didn't shirk it, and ******** walked out of school with Guzi.
Gu Zi took Wu Yichen to a building with more than ten floors, Wu Yichen looked at it, and found that it was somewhat similar to the building where Chen Dahai lived, thinking that Shaogang's residential building was only three or four floors, he was a little helpless.
Gu Zi's family lives on the 4th floor, No. 406, Gu Zi took out a bunch of keys and opened the two doors inside and outside, and there was a sound of stir-frying inside.
"Mom, I'm back!" Gu Zi shouted loudly.
A mother's voice came from the kitchen: "Xiao Gu, where did you go early in the morning!" ”
Gu Zi took off his shoes and said, "I'm going to play ball at school, and I have a friend who came to our house to sit for a while!" ”
"Oh! Hurry up and change your clothes, don't catch a cold! ”
Gu Zi and Wu Yichen glanced at each other, and they both saw the smiles in each other's eyes. It's not Guzi who plays, and it's not Guzi who sweats.
Gu Zi entered his room and took a long-sleeved shirt out, Wu Yichen put it on and found that it fit well, just as he wanted to ask Gu Zi what to do with the sweaty shirt, Gu Zi took the shirt away first and put it in the washing machine.
"Xiao Gu, how is your study! I have to take the monthly exam in two days! "Mother's voice came from the kitchen again.
Gu Zi replied loudly: "It's okay!" ”
……
At noon, Wu Yichen returned to his dormitory, of course, it was Saturday, and he was the only one in the entire dormitory.
Wu Yichen fell asleep.
……
Three p.m., gymnasium.
Zeng Bing has already started training with the team, and although he still has a cotton cloth attached to his eyebrow bone, this does not affect his athleticism in the slightest.
After Chen Dahai said the latest PR statistics, all the team members commented on the PR values as follows:

Power forward Lu Haoping, after developing the middle distance, the shooting rate is still slightly unstable, with an average of -0.8.
The big forward Kong Meng is as stable as ever. The average is 2.2.

The center hole force, the average value is 1.0.
Today, Wu Yichen still did not participate in the full-court confrontation in the team, because Chen Dahai gave him a task.
Wu Yichen asked Chen Dahai suspiciously: "Coach, I want to train alone?" ”
Chen Dahai nodded, stretched out his hand and summoned Jerry, Jerry ran over, since Zeng Bing came back, he no longer participated in the team's full game.
Chen Dahai stretched out his hand and put it on Jerry's shoulder, and said expressionlessly: "Your task is to train the ability to break the ball!" (To be continued.) )
