Chapter 4 Roaring Trains
"Drop!"
The assistant coach on the sidelines blew the whistle and the team that passed the yellow training uniform kicked off first.
The members of the yellow jersey are point guard Paul, shooting guard Thornton, small forward Belinelli, power forward Jason Smith, and center Okafor.
Horn's white jersey on their side is point guard Collison, shooting guard Ariza, small forward Peja, power forward West, and Horn at the center position.
Paul got the basketball, but because it was only a practice game, he didn't give it his all, and after half of the game, he bypassed a block and immediately distributed the ball to Thorton on the side. Thorton took the ball and directly singled out Ariza himself, but the result was not very good, Ariza is a natural defender, and Thorton was ruthlessly blocked.
Watching Thorton make a fool of himself, because they were all teammates, the rest of the people laughed, and Thorton himself laughed heartlessly.
When Horn saw Ariza block the basketball, he suddenly started to speed and rushed towards the opponent's basket.
Horn has a height of 2.11 meters, and after his speed has skyrocketed by 7%, the whole person is like a roaring train. When the players on the white team didn't react, and when Okafor didn't even run through the halfway, Horn was already under the opponent's basket.
Ariza took advantage of the long pass, Horn received the ball, and then flew up fiercely, slammed the dunk with both hands, and smashed the basketball into the basket.
"Bang dang!"
There was a loud bang, which made the originally scattered stadium suddenly filled with the smell of iron and blood.
Horn deducted one at the beginning, and the pent-up pressure in his heart was suddenly vented a lot. However, at this time, the Hornets, from the coach to the players, did not get into the groove, and they did not see the extraordinary speed that Horne showed at this time, and they just thought that Horne seized an opportunity.
The white team was dunked and Paul took possession of the ball again, still easily passing the ball to Belinelli on the flank.
Belinelli is the kind of player who plays very reasonably, he will not play randomly, and he will not waste opportunities, at this time, against the old Peja, who is fast to move, Belinelli has no respect for the old and loves the young, and a change of direction breakthrough leaves Peja behind.
Although Belinelli can pass people, but the finishing ability under the basket is average, and he has no chance to pass the ball to Paul outside.
Paul raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer in the open space, and Horn rushed to the wind, and Horn had to make the most of his speed for five minutes. As soon as Paul saw that Horn was saved, he didn't want to play hard, and immediately passed back to Jason Smith on the baseline.
Because Horn made a pounce against him, Smith faced a baseline path to the basket, he took the ball and adjusted it slightly, took a step aside, and went straight to the basket.
In Jason Smith's mind, this goal is a steady score! But he didn't expect that when he jumped, he actually saw Horn flying back in the air.
"Why is he so fast? He's still on the three-point line? ”
At this moment, Smith was a little brainstormed and completely overwhelmed, and Horn slapped Smith on the ball.
"Smack!"
The basketball was nailed to the rebound all at once, "Boom! The eyes of the Hornets players and the coaches on the sidelines widened.
Fast, really fast, the first moment was still on the three-point line, and then Smith took the ball and adjusted it slightly, and Horn immediately chased it back. This defensive speed is much faster than Horn's previous peak.
Seeing this, Ball immediately stood up and glanced at the assistant coach next to him, Tony Barty.
Tony Barty saw joy and hope in Ball's eyes, and he quickly stood up and looked at Horn on the field.
Horn loved the exclamations, and it was those exclamations that proved his existence.
Grabbing the rebound, Horn turned around and passed the ball to Thorton, who is also a strong defender, he pushed over quickly with the ball, plunged headlong into the opponent's interior, and disrupted the white team's defensive formation, and then suddenly turned back and passed the ball to Peja who was vacant outside.
Although the old Peja's legs are not good, he is a three-time three-point king, and he easily scored 3 points with the ball.
The yellow team came up and scored 5 points in a row, and although the white team was all teammates, they were also a little anxious.
Paul took the ball again, started to exert a little force, took the ball under control, and then cut in along the slow attempt on the right. Organizing with the ball is a very important job, when holding the ball, there must be an intrusion action, which can attract the enemy, not impatient, nor slack, not only to disturb the enemy, but also not to get lost. Messing up the opponent's squares, the playmaker finds a gap to pass the ball or finish the attack himself.
To do this job well, you need superb ball control skills, as well as extraordinary basketball intelligence, knowing how to pull, knowing how to pass, and complete offensive skills. This requires a lot of intelligence and skill from the players, and the physical demands don't need to be top-notch. Therefore, most of the first-class point guards are Nash, Paul, Kidd, Stockton, Mark Jackson, and other players who are at most mid-to-high in physical fitness, but have extraordinary skills and intelligence.
This kind of player is not a straight line attack, exposing his target all of a sudden, but will make an intrusive breakthrough. Bringing the ball to the vicinity of the penalty area first, Paul did just that, he accelerated to the vicinity of the penalty area, and then dribbled horizontally to press the defender to the free throw line and crush two steps, raising his hand to make a shooting feint, attracting the attention of a group of people on the yellow team.
Horn was also attracted to Paul, and it was only then that Paul deftly passed the basketball to Belinelli outside.
Belinelli dribbled away from Peja and made a quick pull-up jumper, and Paul fully helped his teammates grasp the offensive opportunity. But Belinelli was unlucky today and missed the shot.
The basketball turned into a long rebound and flew far away, and Jason Smith, Horn, and Collison pounced together to grab the rebound.
At this time, it was up to Horn to throw Jason Smith far behind him in one step, and the rate was almost the same as that of defender Collison. With the same speed, Horn's reach was much larger than Collisson's, and he rushed over and grabbed the rebound directly.
Horn rushed out like a wind, grabbed the rebound, and beat Smith with speed. Surprise everyone on the Hornets who knows about Horne, whether it's the players or the staff. Horn's speed was too fast, too fast for people to look at, faster than he had been in his prime.
Just when they were stunned, Horn found that no one was running fast, and he himself dribbled directly towards the opponent's basket.
Horn's ball control foundation is okay, not to mention that no one comes to the defense at this time, allowing Horn to add up his speed all at once.
Just look at Horn is clearly a big man of 2.11 meters, but he ran faster than a rabbit, crossed the halfway line in two big steps, and Paul behind him chased at full speed to destroy it, but he couldn't catch up at all.
Seeing Horn shake off Paul and fly into the penalty area, another violent dunk.
"Bang dang!"
The audience was shocked, and in this moment, Horn's maneuver was outrageous, rushing to grab a long rebound, and then he quickly dribbled the ball. It's so fast that the guards can't catch up, what kind of mobile surname is this.
Paul didn't catch up with Horn, but after Horn dunked, he happily came over and patted Horn on the shoulder.
"Welcome back from your injury, buddy!"
Paul thought it was Horn's injury that was completely healed, so he regained his speed. Ball thought so too, and seeing the speed Horn showed, he stood up with great excitement and quickly ordered the team doctor.
"Hassan, go take Horn for a full physical check-up, and do a speed test."
As Ball's assistant, Tony Barty knew exactly what Ball was thinking at this time, and he leaned over to Ball and whispered, "Jason, if Horn really gets back to speed, there is hope for our team." ”
