Chapter 262: Talent or Heaven

After Rubio's surprise two three-pointers in a row, the Celtics players finally believed that Rubio's three-pointers were not accidental!

"This guy actually practiced the three-point shot!" Paul looked at Rubio in amazement, not expecting Rubio, who shot only 25% from three-point range last season, to increase his three-point shooting percentage to this extent in just one offseason. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Rubio scored this goal, he high-fived Xu Zhibin, who ran past him.

Adelman saw it in his eyes and thought in his heart: "This Timberwolves have begun to get better, tenth in the West is by no means a reflection of the team's true strength, as the season deepens, this year's Timberwolves will definitely be able to successfully enter the playoffs and become a force in the West!" ”

For Rubio's change, Chinese fans including the two commentators in the CATV live broadcast room were also very surprised, the previous shooting can be said to be Rubio's dead end, not to mention three-point shots, even two-point shots, Rubio only has a shooting rate of about 40%, I didn't expect that as soon as the game opened, Rubio hit two three-pointers cleanly, and from the perspective of shooting, he seems to be a player with an excellent feel!

And all this, only the Timberwolves' own players understand!

When they came to the training hall one day, they saw from a distance that two players had started training on the field, and everyone took a closer look, and they were stunned, it turned out that the clothes on the two people on the court had already been soaked and clinging to their bodies, and the position where the two people were standing on the ground had already been soaked with sweat!

"Ah, I'm sorry! The rise of today's practice, I forgot the time, sorry! Xu Zhibin, who was sweating profusely, stopped his shooting training under the basket, and hurriedly went to the sidelines to pick up the mop he had prepared and began to clean the court.

LaVine asked Rubio, "Have you been training for a long time?" ”

"Yes, we dedicate at least 3 hours of practice each day to targeted exercises." Rubio exhaled and responded.

"Is it every day?" Wiggins asked, surprised.

"Oh, sorry, I was wrong, it's a day without a game."

"Oh my God, no wonder your shooting is improving so quickly!" After Tang Si finished speaking, he turned his head to Xu Zhibin, who was dragging the sweat on the floor, and asked, "Xu, your basket strength is already so strong, why do you have to train so hard?" ”

Xu Zhibin raised his head and said to Downs: "I still have a long way to go under the basket, and this is what I urgently need to improve at the moment." ”

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Rubio remembered that when he was on vacation in the team, he went to the stadium to pick up something, but saw Xu Zhibin practicing by himself.

It was not long before the start of the season, but there had been several training matches in the team, and Xu Zhibin's Payne, who started last year, could not find North at all, and had almost locked the starting spot for the season, but he did not expect that in this case, this Chinese would still train so hard!

"Hey, Xu, why are you still training, shouldn't you rest today?" Rubio stepped forward and greeted the big man who often cooperated with him in the air.

"Oh, it's Ricky, I'm used to training like this every day." Xu Zhibin did not stop his training.

"Hahaha, isn't it talent enough, so you have to make up for it the day after tomorrow? This is the truth that you often say in China, 'stupid birds fly first'! Rubio said in a joking tone.

Who knew that when Xu Zhibin heard this, he suddenly stopped what he was doing and said: "In terms of talent, I really can't compare with most players who stand in the NBA, but I also recognize the hard work I have put in, and it is precisely because of it that I can stand here!" ”

After saying this, Xu Zhibin dribbled the ball three times with a strong "bang bang" under the basket, and then turned around and knocked down the defensive dummy placed under the basket, a standard left-handed wipe board, and hit!

"Moreover, I don't have any talent, so I don't let the so-called talent limit my pace, because I never know where the upper limit of my efforts is? And many people's talents can be seen at a glance! ”

Rubio was shocked, looking at the sweat that kept dripping from Xu Zhibin's body to the floor, and his heart seemed to be touched.

From that day on, every day on the training ground, there will be two figures, one inside and one outside......

"Talent or Heaven!" Adelman sobered up from his thoughts, "That depends on what you do with your talent!" ”

After being hit by Rubio for two three-pointers in the opening game, Ye Hai finally launched his first attack of the game!

It's Andrew Wiggins who defends Ye Hai! This Energizer kid has been able to contribute an average of 24+4+3 data per game last season, and became the "Little Big Three" of the Timberwolves along with Towns and LaVine, although he only finished 13th in the Western Conference, but before the start of this season, almost all sports commentators predicted that the Timberwolves would make the playoffs.

Wiggins stared at Ye Hai standing in front of him intently, and couldn't help but think of what Xu Zhibin said, "If you talk about talent, the only person I admire is my national youth team teammate, Ye Hai!" ”

Thinking of this, Wiggins was a little unconvinced and thought: "Just let me see how strong your talent is!" ”

Ye Hai has started! After taking a sharp step to the left, one turned to the right, and Wiggins turned on the spot, and was not thrown away by Ye Hai! But it has changed from a frontal defense to a weak side defense in Ye Hai!

Ye Hai showed a lot of space on the side of the ball, and when Wiggins defended it, Ye Hai immediately leaned on Wiggins from his body to form a physical confrontation situation, and then stretched out his right hand to hold the ball in one hand, rushed to the basket and jumped directly, and completely stretched out the split dunk with one hand in front of Wiggins, and dunked the ball into the basket!

"This guy is really extraordinary!" Wiggins looked at Ye Hai, who almost completely relied on speed and explosiveness to score in front of him, and felt as if he had despised this opponent!

"Bang bang bang!" Three times, Xu Zhibin, who was about to get to the position, received Rubio's pass, and sat directly under the basket to hit Johnson with his back, and Johnson, who seemed to have the upper hand in weight, retreated again and again under Xu Zhibin's back!

Xu Zhibin, who came to the basket, did not hesitate, directly turned around with a left hand and dunked, and dunked the ball on the opponent's head and into the basket before Johnson struggled to block!

Ye Hai and Xu Zhibin's two consecutive attacks ended with wonderful violent dunks, which also made the two Chinese commentators in the live broadcast room excited.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a wonderful confrontation between Chinese players, and the last time I saw a scene like this was when Yao Ming played against Yi Jianlian." Yu Jian said.

"But this time the two Chinese players are attacking and watching more!" Director Zhang said, "Moreover, from the perspective of the competition competition, they have indeed improved a lot compared to the World Youth Championships!" ”

The game has just begun, the Timberwolves at home lead the Celtics 8-2, Xu Zhibin just scored after running back, while shouting to his teammates: "Pay attention to the defense!" ”

Xu Zhibin, who was the first to run back to his position, looked at the attacking Celtics and Ye Hai, and thought in his heart: "This time, I will definitely not lose to you again!" (To be continued.) )
