The heads-up was over, and there was no other sound on the court except the heavy breathing of Yang Long and Williams. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yang Long stood in place, looking at the basket that was still swaying in the air, and the picture of this last attack was echoed in his mind, if he could protect the ball more carefully, now the victory would be mine!
On the basketball court, every action must be done at its best, and every ball must be extremely careful, but Yang Long did not do a good job, Yang Long just asked himself repeatedly, why the ball was not protected......
But it's too late, regret has no effect, and in this heads-up, Yang Long is the loser.
"Well done, Jay, we know the final victory is yours!" Someone finally spoke up, it was the appreciation of Williams, that was the appreciation of the winner, and as the loser, Yang Long was destined to miss these.
Yang Long looked at Williams, but found that he did not have the pride that he should have as a victor.
"By the way, what's your name?" Williams also looked at Yang Long, he still didn't know Yang Long's name.
"My name is Yang Long, congratulations, I lost." Yang Long still said his name again, but as a loser, he always felt that he no longer had the confidence he had before the heads-up began. However, if you lose, you must also lose brightly, Yang Long will not hate Williams because of this loss, and he will not shake his pursuit of basketball because of this loss. This time it was me Yang Long who lost, but next time, I will definitely prove my strength with victory, and next time, I will use my strength to gain your recognition!
"Yang Long, you played very well." Williams saw that Yang Long was a little lost, thinking that Yang Long didn't believe what he said, he continued: "I'm serious. ”
"Thank you. Next time, I will use my strength to gain your approval. ”
"Next time? Oh, I don't think there will be a next time. ”
Yang Long's heart tightened: What does Williams mean by this, is it because of my failure this time that I have to completely deny me? Can't I really stay on the varsity team?
"What do you mean?!" Yang Long was a little excited, no one can kill his basketball path, even Williams is the current team leader.
"Relax, Yang. I'm not what you think. I mean, you're one of us now, and I'm going to cover you from now on! ”
Williams looked at Yang Long's slightly angry expression, and probably guessed Yang Long's thoughts, but it was obvious that Yang Long misunderstood him. Although this heads-up ended in Yang Long's defeat, Williams had already seen the energy in Yang Long's body. So he has preliminarily recognized Yang Long's ability!
"Congratulations, Yang, now on, you're truly part of the team!" Just now, Coach K chose to watch from the sidelines, not to obstruct the heads-up between Yang Long and Williams, he wanted to take this opportunity to test Yang Long's ability. If Yang Long loses very embarrassingly, maybe Coach K will let Yang Long be squeezed out of this team, because as Williams said, Duke doesn't need a weak person!
"Alright, guys, come over and say hello to our new teammates!" As the leader of the team, Williams beckoned the rest of the team to come over and get to know Yang Long. Before going head-to-head with Williams, although Yang Long was very familiar with several faces, the acquaintance between them was just a 'hello' to each other.
"Hey, Young, I'm Mike Dunleavy and I'm the small forward on the team."
"Hello, Young, I'm Dundee Jones, and I play power forward."
"Hello Young, I'm Carlos Boozer, the center of the team."
"Hello Young, I'm the team's point guard, Chris Dujon."
“……”
"I'm the team's shooting guard, Jay Williams. You've seen how good I am. By the way, seriously, what is your name, I forgot again! Williams asked, and his teammates burst into laughter.
"I'm Yang Long and I'm from China. You can play both point guard and shooting guard. Yang Long didn't know if Williams was being funny, this was the third time Yang Long had told him his name. And as a Chinese, Yang Long's name is undoubtedly the shortest and most concise one in the team, and it should not be so difficult to remember.
"Ok, hahaha, from now on, you're my understudy." Williams looked very proud, he grinned, it was clear that after Battier left, he was the boss of the team, you must know that in the NCAA last season, he was able to average 21.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game.
"Jie, I'll have the final say on Yang's position." Old Coach K spoke.
"Oh, don't be nervous, old man, I know you're the boss, you have the final say!" Williams and Coach K are also not polite, and they are directly called by the old man, which shows that they have a good relationship.
"Hahaha......" The team burst into laughter again, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
In the afternoon, Yang Long and the others first conducted some basic training, which was regarded as the first training of the new semester.
"Okay, that's all for today's training, tomorrow we will play an internal match, give me honesty at night, don't go to nightclubs to mess around." Coach K announced that the first day of training was over, and everyone could go back to rest.
"Hey, Yang."
"Hey, Knight, what's the matter?" After everyone disbanded, Yang Long saw Nate James walking towards me, he was still a little wary, after all, Knight said some discriminatory words about skin color before, and Yang Long had a bad impression of him.
"Regarding what I said the other day, I want to say I'm sorry, really, I'm sorry." Knight's expression was very sincere, and it was obvious that he was serious.
"Oh, I've forgotten about it, haha."
looked at each other and smiled, and smiled at each other.
Despite this, Yang Long still recognized the importance of strength in the basketball world, and if Yang Long did not show a certain amount of strength, maybe Knight would never change his prejudices.
In the basketball world, strength is respected, and Yang Long is eager to improve his strength as soon as possible.
