Chapter Twenty-Seven [A Bad Comic?! 】
After training in the afternoon, Wang Jun took a shower in the stadium, changed his clothes and went to David's villa with Abby.
Abby's car is a red pickup truck from the Ford series, and at first glance it looks like the kind driven by pure masters.
"Why do you drive this car?" Wang Jun asked. I wonder if it's her boyfriend's, right?
He didn't want to fall in love with Abby, but he hoped that she could stay single and never grow old. This is an alternative selfishness, an appreciation and longing for beautiful things that cannot be obtained, which is the mentality of many men towards actresses.
"A $9,000 used car, beautiful, isn't it?" Abby held her head proudly: "Maybe you don't think it's like a beautiful woman, but I like it, it's very comfortable, and I can pull things." ”
"If you like it, it's fine." Wang Jun said with a smile.
"You should also go get a driver's license."
"Is that okay?"
"It's easy."
Abby told him about getting a driver's license, a two-step process to learn a driver's license and a full driver's license.
To get a learner's license, you only need to pass a written test and identify highway signs, and pay $32. A normal person reads the manual a few times and memorizes it. The staff will then look at the documents brought by the applicant, including proof of identity and address. Take a photo, and soon a learner's license will be issued.
With a learner's license, you can take a road test. Before the road test, of course, you must first practice the skills of driving, and you need a person who can drive to teach. U.S. law requires a person with a learner's license to drive on the road with a full driver's license. When you are almost done, you will go to the exam, and the invigilators mainly look at the skills of driving, parking, turning, and obeying traffic rules. After the road test, a full driver's license will be issued on the spot.
Mr. Wang uses Chinese standards to learn to drive, which he finds troublesome, while in the U.S. it usually takes two weeks to get it done.
The car drove away from the city center and stopped in front of a detached villa in the north of the city. Wang Jun originally thought that the house was a three-bedroom residence, but he didn't expect David's home to be a duplex villa with a large lawn.
It's too extravagant, how nice it would be if my sister and I could live in this kind of house, Wang Jun looked at the luxurious decoration and beautiful furniture after entering the house, and sighed in his heart.
"Is it just you and grandpa living here?"
Abby sighed. "yes, my grandma passed away four years ago, she was a teacher and loved the atmosphere in Ann Arbor, so they came here."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's already in the past."
Wang Jun really didn't see any sadness on her face, so he was relieved.
Abby pointed to the refrigerator and said, "There's a drink in the fridge, take whatever you like." You sit here for a while, and I'll go up and take the book down. ”
"Okay."
Wang Jun poured a glass of ice water, took a sip and put it on the table, went to the staircase and waited, as soon as Abby came out of the bedroom, he immediately stepped forward, took a large cardboard box, and moved it downstairs.
Abby smiled, "Yes, you are a gentleman and know how to help the lady carry things." ”
"It should."
Wang Jun put the box on the table in front of the sofa, took out a comic book and looked at it, Abby was actually talking about the English version of "Slam Dunk". He read this comic when he was in junior high school, and many of his classmates bought it all, and it became popular all over Asia.
"Do you want me to learn how to play in this book?"
Abby opened a bottle of drink, took two sips, and grinned, "How is that possible?" The tactics in this comic are terrible. My dad read it and said that it was suitable for making negative teaching materials to get rid of some of the bad problems of the players. If you want to play basketball well, you must avoid the style of play in this book. ”
Wang Jun's mouth is open into an O-shape, with a black line.
This comic is the direct reason why he fell in love with basketball. In China, many people became interested in basketball because they watched "Slam Dunk", rather than Jordan, Pippen, and O'Neal...... Those people are too far away.
Are you kidding? Negative textbooks?
"Have you seen it?" Abby asked.
"I've seen it, I don't think it's a negative textbook, the art style is great, and this is also recognized as the closest basketball comic to reality." Wang Jun was not convinced and wanted to argue.
In China, "Slam Dunk" is not just a comic, but also a feeling. Many people don't know Gong Xiaobin, but they must know Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Abby rolled her eyes, and the contempt could not be more despised.
"Where is it close to reality? Let's talk about Xiangyang, who is known as a super guard, Fuji Zhen made a cameo coach, and actually sent a lineup of four big men, three of whom are not good at shooting, and the speed is not fast, isn't this nonsense? With the athleticism of several players in Xiangbei, as long as they grab the rebound and immediately counterattack, they can't prevent it at all. What's even more illogical is that Xiangyang was still ahead in the first half. ”
"Uh......" Wang Jun never thought about this when he read the comics, and thought that the group of people in Xiangyang was leading by their height advantage.
"Therefore, that game can only be understood as Akagi affecting the offensive rhythm of the whole team, grabbing the rebound and not knowing how to launch a counterattack with a pass, and the athleticism advantage of his teammates was not brought into play."
The gorilla has become a cancerous tumor! This is "Slam Dunk" in the eyes of Americans?
In the United States, the comic book "Slam Dunk" does not sell at all, only a few people read it, and it is not as popular as in Asia. The only Japanese manga that really became popular in the United States was Dragon Ball.
Asian comic fans feel that "Slam Dunk" is real, compared to comics like "Soccer Player". If the football cartoon player doesn't have a super must-kill, he is embarrassed to say hello to people.
Americans have watched too much of the NBA, and then read comics with NBA players as templates, and they feel full of mistakes and omissions.
Wang Jun couldn't argue, and said depressedly: "Can this really improve my basketball strength?" Manga and reality are completely different, right? ”
Abby took out what her father had taught her and shook the notebook in her hand. "It's a shortcut. This book has some questions that my dad wrote down at the beginning. You read the comics first, and then answer these questions. I'll tell you the correct answer to deepen your understanding of basketball. ”
"Okay."
Regarding the problem of the Xiangyang team just now, Wang Jun felt that it was very reasonable.
He played against each other and found the speed advantage useful. If you have height and speed, of course, it is the best, but if you have height and no speed, it is basically a tragedy. Xiangyang's ability to defend against Xiangbei's small lineup is too strange.
Wang Jun took the notebook and was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Abby, that ...... Could you please dictate these questions and I'll write them down and go back to them. ”
"Isn't that written?"
"I can speak English, but I can't write it, it's so sloppy that it's hard for me to read even in standard font." Wang Jun explained.
"Understood."
The two discussed at home, and in the evening Abby ordered a pizza delivery.
Jeff Hornacek is an interesting person, and he can think so deeply when he accompanies his daughter to read comics. Should I say that he is professional? Or is it boring?
The questions are varied.
Who is the most important player in the Xiangbei team? Who is the number one key factor to win?
What tactics can Xiangyang team use in the second half of the qualifiers to beat Xiangbei?
Who is the most overrated player in the comics?
Hainan VS Xiangbei only won by two points is very unreasonable, they could have won more than 40 points, and the description is unreasonable.
Why did Lingnan lose to Xiangbei, which was troubled by fouls?
In the comics, which is the main force that Coach Anzai looks down on the most? From what can you see?
What is the most suitable tactic for Xiangbei? Who is best suited to be the sixth person? What tactics is suitable for the team after Akagi's graduation?
Who is the strongest player in the comics?
Who is the culprit who caused Sanno Industries to lose, there are two people, analyze the reasons.
Wang Jun basically didn't know how to answer these questions.
At around eight o'clock, David and his friends came back from dinner and saw that the two were still flipping through comics in the living room.
"Abby, how's it going?"
"I just started watching it, and I won't know the results until tomorrow." Abby replied.
David didn't think it was a joke to discuss comics at all, and said with a smile: "Wang, you read carefully, finding mistakes is a way to understand basketball, not just finding mistakes for comics, watching NBA games can also find mistakes, only by understanding the weaknesses of the opponent, can we better attack and defend against weaknesses." ”
Know your opponent's weaknesses? Wang Jun suddenly grasped the inspiration.
This quote opened the door for his basketball career.
