Chapter 56: Graduation Ceremony

Today is the last day of the bootcamp.

The whole training camp is only seven days, deducting the first day and the last day, and the time really used for learning and training is only five days, and the content is all basic skills and basic concepts.

What are basic skills and basic concepts?

According to Coach O'Connor, whether you are a center, a striker, a defender, you should know everything, and this is the basic skill.

Only by practicing the basics, even if you play a position that you are not suitable for because of the arrangement of your teammates or coaches in the game, you still need to understand how to play in this position, instead of complaining that it is not your position.

"Doesn't the center need to be able to dribble and pass? Doesn't a guard need to know what it means to cover a blocker? Even if you're a defender, don't you need to play low to single the opposing player? "Tall and strong still remembers a phrase that Coach O'Connor repeatedly emphasized during the training session.

In fact, the trend in modern basketball is the same, the more versatile a player is, the better. lebron

James is arguably the best all-around player in the NBA right now, what position does he play? He's not in any position, his position is called an all-round player, and he can do whatever the team needs him.

Coach Bryce also told Gao Dazhuang that when Rondo came to Nike's Asian training camp, he beat the center forward who was opposite him and more than 2.10 meters in both attack and defense in the low post. Because he knows what footwork an interior player needs to use, he can hold it; Because he has the footsteps of an interior player, he can score.

Coach Bryce said that at this stage, the most important thing for tall and strong is to develop comprehensive skills and comprehensive concepts, and then define what position they are. Defining yourself too early on what you can and what you can't do will not only limit your own skill development, but also limit yourself.

"The team wants you to work with the team, not the whole team. The coach will ask what you can do to help the team, not what the team can help you. When you can cooperate with the whole team, the whole team is likely to start working with you."

Coach Bryce said to the tall man,

The last day of the training camp was the graduation ceremony, and there were many people who came, including Yi Jianlian's friends and many friends from the news media, of course, they came more for Yi Jianlian.

In the gymnasium of South China Normal University, the acceptance of the results of the training camp began in a pleasant atmosphere.

The first was the Skills Challenge, in which 15-year-old Qin Hong, a tall and strong roommate, won the championship in an unexpected fight.

The three-point contest championship was taken away by a man named Lu Tao, but as far as the professional level of players is concerned, pure pieces rely on on-the-spot play.

The Best Style Award went to Tole, a black boy from Congo.

The most eye-catching slam dunk contest was also won by the tall and strong roommate Yang Yankun.

Gao Dazhuang did not sign up for any of the competitions, he asked for what he wanted in this training camp, he had already gotten, and Gao Dazhuang was cheering for his roommates on the field at this time.

After each sub-event, it's time for the final highlight of the training camp: the All-Star Game.

The All-Star Game is an exhibition game played by the outstanding students selected by the coaches of the training camp, and it is also a symbol of honor.

Eastern District: Zhao Tianyi, Qin Hongjin, Peng Yijia, Yang Yankun, Chen Xi, coach O'Connor.

Among the 5 starters in the East District, 4 are friends of Gao Dazhuang in the same dormitory, and the other Chen Xi is not very familiar with him.

West District: Chen Hongliang, Chen Shuhua, Duole, Lu Tao, Wu Weihong, and the coach is Yi Jianlian himself.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides immediately fought with real guns, after all, in front of Yi Jianlian, in front of many guests and media, these teenagers wanted to be able to express themselves.

The tall and strong roommate Zhao Tianyi has comprehensive skills, Qin Hongjin has a flexible mind, Peng Yijia has an outstanding sense of defense, and Yang Yankun has excellent physical fitness.

But in the starters in the West District, Chen Hongliang, Chen Shuhua, and Wu Weihong are all 18 years old, and they are all sports school students or members of the school team.

After the tension in the early stage, the immaturity of the Eastern Stars, physical fitness and other problems became apparent, and soon the rhythm of the game fell into the hands of the Western Stars.

At 13:26 of the end of the first half, the Eastern Stars lost a split score.

But the performance of these teenagers on the field still won the applause of everyone present.

At the beginning of the second half, Coach O'Connor called Gao Dazhuang over, "You go up for Zhao Tianyi, and the whole team will take you as the core of the attack, give full play to your attacking power, and show the opposing coach", Coach O'Connor emphasized the opposing coach.

"Good" Gao Dazhuang looked at Yi Jianlian, took off his coat and walked to the sidelines.

"Tut", the Eastern Stars team asked for a substitution, tall and strong, and replaced Zhao Tianyi.

"Boss, help me get revenge, that Chen Hongliang is very strong," Zhao Tianyi reminded as he passed by Gao Dazhuang's side.

The tall man nodded and signaled to receive it.

The game continues.

Seeing Gao Dazhuang asking for the ball on the bottom line, as a die-hard fan of Gao Dazhuang, Qin Hongjin didn't even want to throw the ball directly to the inside line.

Qin Hongjin has great trust in the tall and strong.

Seeing the incoming ball, Chen Hongliang, who was standing behind Gao Dazhuang, turned sideways and wanted to go around to the front of Gao Dazhuang to steal.

The tall and strong accurately predicted Chen Hongliang's movements behind him through body contact, and with a bow of his body, two strong arms tightly stuck Chen Hongliang behind him.

"What a lot of strength" Chen Hongliang was secretly surprised, the force he had just made didn't push him at all?

Just when Chen Hongliang was surprised, Gao Dazhuang successfully received the ball.

Looking back at his head, a slightly deceitful feint, the whole person turned in the opposite direction, and stepped under the basket with one arrow step, Chen Hongliang, who was not in a hurry to make up for the defense, could only watch the tall and strong easily wipe the board and shoot successfully.

"Boss, good ball" Gao Dazhuang immediately achieved results as soon as he came up, and his roommates Qin Hongjin, Peng Yijia, and Yang Yankun all ran over to high-five Gao Dazhuang to congratulate.

"Hmph" Chen Hongliang is not a master who easily admits defeat.

The two sides exchanged offense and defense, and Chen Hongliang also took the initiative to ask for the ball, after all, no one wanted to lose points in front of his idol Yi Jianlian.

Chen Hongliang held the ball and singled and pushed the inside.

What embarrassed Chen Hongliang was that although the two were of the same size, they were tall and strong in terms of physical fitness and consciousness.

Under the strict defense of the tall and strong, Chen Hongliang could not take a step forward at all.

At this time, Chen Hongliang suddenly turned around and sank his shoulders, and just when everyone else mistakenly thought that he was going to break through forcibly, Chen Hongliang's body that was advancing forward suddenly stopped and jumped.

Shooting backwards, Chen Hongliang chose a backward jumper when the frontal strong attack failed.

In the process of falling, Chen Hongliang also looked at the basketball rolling in the air, thinking that this ball felt good when he shot it, and it should be there.

But the reality is cruel.

There was a loud "pop", and a tall figure rose into the air, and when the basketball had not yet reached the highest point, it flew the ball out fiercely.

Through the observation of the first half, Gao Dazhuang has long found that although Chen Hongliang is a center, he especially likes outside shooting, and his style of play is also soft.

So the tall and strong have long left a hand.

After the "fast attack" fanned off Chen Hongliang's shot, the tall and powerful shouted and ran forward, Chen Hongliang came back to his senses and chased back.

"Boss" Peng Yijia picked up the covered basketball and threw the ball to the front court.

At this time, the tall and strong excellent physical fitness was undoubtedly revealed, and Chen Hongliang and others who were back to defense were surpassed in a few steps, and only the opposing defender Duole was in front of the tall and strong in the entire front court.

Dole is 1.8 meters tall, but he is tall and strong and ignores Dole's existence, and jumps up to catch the ball directly after predicting the basketball landing point. After receiving the ball, he didn't stop at all, and stepped directly to the basket in three steps to make a layup.

Although Dole tried his best to defend, the difference in height and bounce made it impossible for him to stop the tall and strong score.

Fortunately, Tole stopped in time and did not accompany a foul.

"Wow" and "beautiful" watched the game with applause.

Coach O'Connor looked at Yi Jianlian on the other side proudly, and Yi Jianlian smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Heh, it's not over yet" Coach O'Connor waved his hand and said, "Zhao Tianyi, you go up, replace Yang Yankun, and let Gao Dazhuang play the No. 4 position."
