Chapter 12: Street Basketball
Street basketball originated in the United States, and the game does not need to be played on a formal basketball court, but can be played on a flat hard ground the size of half a court in a city square or open field, and a basketball hoop can be erected. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info Street Basketball is different from regular basketball, it abandons all kinds of cumbersome rules, reflects the creativity and freedom of basketball players, and makes basketball more ornamental and artistic. It's not about winning the game, it's about winning the approval and cheers of the audience, so that the audience can also participate in the game, and that's the real victory, the real street basketball. Of course, on the course, a street player will not admit defeat, because the street is his home field! Countless street basketball players are following in the footsteps of street basketball culture and constantly moving forward.
There have also been countless bulls on the street basketball court in the United States, the earliest such as the famous "goat" McNicott, who is 6 feet 2 tall and can easily take down 25 cents on the top of the rebound, and can easily beat the 7-foot-2 NBA superstar Abdul-Jabbar, who is known as "the greatest player who has never played in the NBA".
Another example is Alston, the point guard who once partnered with Yao Ming and Maddie and played for the Houston Rockets, nicknamed "skiptomylou", which means "jumping soul" in Chinese, and this nickname comes from Alstom's street ball move - jumping step down the dribble in the fast break. Although Alston was limited by the NBA's basketball rules and could not fully demonstrate his streetball skills on the NBA court, his name resounded throughout the Queens borough of New York, and he single-handedly reversed the streetball style of the whole New York City at a young age.
Of course, there are far more famous figures in the history of street basketball that originated in the United States, as well as the famous "Destroyer" Hammond, "Whirlwind" Crendo, "Pea" Daniels, and so on......
I see! Ye Hai looked at the introduction of street basketball searched on the Internet and had a general understanding of street basketball. Ever since he singled out Liu Chen a few balls on his last date with Ji Yanran, Ye Hai has been curious about Liu Chen's feints, and any basketball player will be curious after seeing that kind of unbelievable feints. After finding his best friend and know-it-all Sun Bin and asking about it, he realized that the basketball action that Liu Chen used against him last time was from street basketball.
Sun Bin on the side said: "Ah Hai, why are you suddenly interested in street basketball? ā
Ye Hai rubbed his nose and said that the last time he was in the secret base court, he almost made a fool of himself in front of a fourth-grade child.
Sun Bin raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Fourth grade boy? It's amazing. How about it, want to see street basketball? ā
Ye Hai immediately stared at Sun Bin with interest and asked, "Really?" Where can I see it? ā
Sun Bin rolled his eyes and said in a helpless tone: "Your junior high school basketball career is really spent practicing in a secret base, if you want to talk about street basketball, it is natural to count the court in the west district of our city, which is the more famous gathering place for street ball lovers in our city, where you should see a lot of street basketball players." ā
"So what are you waiting for!" Ye Hai happily pulled up Sun Bin and said, "Let's go, let's go see and see today." ā
"Hey, let's go, don't pull my Paul jersey!" Sun Bin protested.
Ye Hai sat in the back seat of Sun Bin and complained to Sun Bin: "Monkey, can you hurry up, this speed will reach the western area, and the sun will set." ā
"Big brother! Who told you to be so heavy, you don't ride a bike yourself, this speed is already the limit! Sun Bin was riding a bicycle with a snort.
Before they arrived at the stadium in the West District, the huge hip-hop music had already reached the ears of Ye Hai and Sun Bin. When the stadium in the West District appeared in front of the two of them, Ye Hai and Sun Bin were shocked by the scene in front of them.
Gorgeous and beautiful street ball action, passionate basket confrontation, deafening slam dunk, pleasing air relay, coupled with hot hop music, hot beauties on the side of the court, cool beauties and young men in wide street uniforms twisted their bodies to the rhythm of the music, screaming and shouting for the incredible goals on the court from time to time. The entire West End stadium is full of people.
"I thought the South District was the best developed area for basketball in our city, but I didn't think the West District was." Sun Bin said with emotion in the face of everything in front of him.
"No, the South Side is probably the best basketball district of the four districts. But the West End should be the streetball center of the whole city, and I think the people who love to play streetball in the city will play here, which is why it's so lively. Ye Hai was a little impatient, and Sun Bin squeezed through the crowd and came to a sideline with the most people watching the most lively half.
Ye Hai looked at the court and found that Liu Chen, a fourth-grade boy, was actually playing on this court, and Liu Chen was the youngest one on the court and the one who received the most applause from the audience.
Liu Chen and his teammates were playing a three-on-three half-game, and judging from Liu Chen's playing movements and expressions, the young Liu Chen did not have any stage fright in front of opponents who were taller and older than him.
"Isn't this ball walking?" Sun Bin blurted out his debut after seeing the actions of the players on the court.
A middle-aged man who was watching the game next to him squinted at Sun Bin when he heard the sound, and said slowly: "This is the court of street basketball, and it is naturally street basketball, and there are not so many rules and regulations in formal basketball games. You don't know about street basketball at first glance, you look at your face, you haven't been here before. ā
Sun Bin smiled at the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle, we are from the Eastern District, and we really haven't been here before." I heard that the atmosphere of street basketball here is very strong, so I came here to see it. ā
The middle-aged man felt that Sun Bin's tone of speech was very polite, so he also became polite and said, "Don't call me uncle, my name is Wang Dong, you can call me Brother Dong." If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me, I often come here to watch the game. ā
"Okay, Brother Dong!" After a while, Sun Bin became familiar with Wang Dong, Ye Hai couldn't help but admire Sun Bin, if he wanted to talk about his ability to make friends with people, he was really willing to bow to Sun Bin.
"--! Whoa" With an exclamation from the spectators on the sidelines, Ye Hai saw that Liu Chen used the first feint of the last heads-up on the secret court to pass the player defending him on the opposite side, a young man with a mustache.
"Roc spreads its wings!" Wang Dong couldn't help but say.
"What chicken, what wings?" Sun Bin didn't hear Wang Dong's words clearly because of the audience's enthusiastic shouts.
"I'm not talking about chicken wings, I'm about Roc spreading wings!" Wang Dong said loudly to Sun Bin, "It's a kind of action in street basketball, which is a very deceptive feint, for people who use this trick, it's a little awkward to use, and the movements are not as smooth as that child." Wang Dong gave Liu Chen a high evaluation.
"Roc spreads its wings." Ye Hai recited it a few times, recalling Liu Chen's movements just now, at the beginning of the movement, it was indeed like a big peng spreading its wings.
"Interesting!" Ye Hai felt that he was becoming more and more interested in street basketball.
"Roaring --!" The crowd erupted in cheers again, and many danced and clapped hands at each other, as if they had won a great victory.
On the court, Liu Chen broke through to score a layup, and the mustache that defended him was shaken to the ground. The action used by Liu Chen is the same action used last time to fight the second ball with Ye Hai.
The mustache got up from the ground with a flushed face, and looked at Liu Chen, who was so much younger than him but had repeatedly teased him, and his face began to show anger.
"Fake the ball!" Wang Dong noticed that Ye Hai and Sun Bin looked at him, and without waiting for them to speak, he directly said the name of this move.
It turned out to be a fake ball, and the name of this trick is really apt and straightforward. Ye Hai thought to himself, if it weren't for the fact that he had practiced basketball professionally for several years, his body coordination and flexibility were higher than ordinary people, I am afraid that the last time he faced Liu Chen's move, he would have been shaken when he ate a feint and wanted to break the ball.
Street basketball isn't easy! Ye Hai and Sun Bin glanced at each other, reading each other's thoughts from each other's eyes.
"It's too much, how can it be like this!" Wang Dong suddenly whispered.
Ye Hai and Sun Bin looked at the court and found that when Liu Chen was holding the ball and preparing to attack, he was hit hard by the annoyed mustache with his shoulder, Liu Chen was only a fourth-grade student after all, even if his physical fitness was higher than that of his peers, he couldn't help but slam the mustache so maliciously, fell to the ground, and the ball was taken out of his hand by the mustache.
There are no referees on open courts on the streets, and it is up to the players to commit fouls or give examples. On street courts, rules or offences are more diluted, so there is a greater likelihood of player clashes on street basketball courts.
"Reasonable collision." The mustache showed a grim smile and said to Liu Chen, who fell to the ground.
"Despicable!" Ye Hai and Sun Bin had this word in their hearts at the same time.
The mustache got the ball, and faced Liu Chen, who had a resolute face and refused to admit defeat, and thought, "I'm going to ruin you." ā
