Chapter Twenty-Five: Skills Attained

Confidence is sometimes not spoken out, but through strength to trample the opponent under his feet, and accumulated through defeating the opponent again and again.

Bowen is a well-known defensive player in the league, and Kobe Bryant, the strongest guard in the current line, has folded his hands, although Cao Jian is a traverser, with the "strongest forward system" to assist, but this is not a reason for him to be confident that he can break through Bowen. It's also normal for him to have this reaction.

Cao Jian dribbled and wanted to break through to the left, Bowen seemed to know what Cao Jian wanted to do, predicted in advance, blocked Cao Jian's travel route, several times in a row, Cao Jian's self-confidence was even more lacking, and he felt more and more that Bowen was an insurmountable mountain in front of him.

Cao Jian also began to doubt himself, and asked himself over and over again in his heart: Am I really so watery? Am I still not suitable for basketball because I have crossed and been assisted by the system? Is that all I have to say? Is my NBA journey going to end after Summer League?

Cao Jian couldn't believe that he would have such thoughts, shook his head vigorously, and denied it over and over again, saying, "No, no, it's not like this." ”

"Surely not so!"

In the past, countless scenes on the basketball court were played in Cao Jian's mind like a movie replay, the first shot, the first basket, the first dunk, the first block, and the first time he led the team to win the championship...... The curvature of the corners of Cao Jian's mouth also slowly raised, and finally, it gradually expanded, and finally, Cao Jian laughed out loud and said in his heart: "I shouldn't doubt myself, who is suitable for playing basketball now, who is suitable?" ”

After a short period of frustration, the high-spirited Cao Jian came back after rebirth, his eyes flashed with confidence, he dribbled and broke through again, Bowen was still the same as just now, predicted in advance, blocked Cao Jian's travel route, and did not let him advance forward.

It's a good thing to have self-confidence, but Cao Jian's attempt failed this time.

Cao Jian continued, dribbling to try to break through.

John Stockton has been watching the game from the side, Cao Jian's performance, he has seen it in his eyes, seeing Cao Jian just like that, John Stockton is still very pleased, the first time to face Bowen, who is famous in the history of the league, he can recover his self-confidence in a short period of time, this kind of mind is at the top level in the league, such Cao Jian has the mind necessary to become a superstar, and said: "Remember what your mission is?" I also send you an old Chinese saying: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. ”

Hearing this, Cao Jian dribbled the ball and squinted his eyes slightly to think:

Task? My task is to assist, ten assists.

And knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated? Doesn't that mean knowing the opponent, knowing yourself, knowing the gap, knowing the advantage?

Thinking of this, Cao Jian had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and thought: Isn't the place I am best at speed? And what Bowen does best, isn't that his defense? So what are Bowen's shortcomings? That is, his physical fitness is average, speed is relative to strength, this is Bowen's shortcoming, if I want to break through, I can use speed to break through directly. Also, my task is to assist, not to break through, and what I want to do is not to break through Bowen, assist, in other words, to organize the game.

Cao Jian also figured it out, dribbling the ball and acting according to the ideas he came up with in his head.

Sure enough, Cao Jian used his speed to deal with Bowen, and he also happened to hit Bowen's death hole.

As soon as Cao Jian broke through Bowen, he quickly retreated, using experience to block Cao Jian's free throw route, but this time Cao Jian did not break through, and made a quick stop to shoot, Bowen subconsciously flew over and dribbled the ball in his hand, but Cao Jian, who was always observing the form of the court in his eyes, saw Bowen's center of gravity raised, he knew that this was an opportunity, turned sideways, probed his shoulders, and walked forward, and directly took a step to clean Bowen and rushed towards the basket.

Bowen and James Posey, Tony Allen's main task is to defend, they hurried to help defend over, Cao Jian knew that there would be this stubble, passed, the basketball was handed over to the hand of the virtual person A next to him, the virtual person A received the ball, his feet slammed, bent his knees, kicked the ground, his legs seemed to be equipped with springs, jumped up from the ground, took the ball with both hands and smashed it into the basket.

There was a loud bang, and the basket was accompanied by a buzzing sound, and the basket swayed.

After the virtual A dunk was finished, he was crazy, he looked up to the sky and roared, his right hand clenched his fist, and he hit his chest hard, and after venting, he pointed at Cao Jian with his right index finger and roared, "Good job." ”

This was also Cao Jian's first goal, coupled with the trust of his teammates, which also laid confidence for Cao Jian.

Bowen, who couldn't be defeated just now, at this time, he also felt that there was nothing left.

After mastering the method just now, Cao Jian is now full of confidence.

Come back.

Knowing where Bowen's weaknesses are, Cao Jian also made targeted strategies.

Cao Jian's side has changed, and Bowen's side has also made changes, but Cao Jian knows that everything is inseparable, and Bowen's speed is always his weakness.

Cao Jian couldn't stop sending assists again, and the successive successes also made Cao Jian's self-confidence stronger, he also let go of his hands and feet, relying on the speed advantage, and the overall situation on the field, Cao Jian completely destroyed Bowen's indestructible defense and completed the task completely.

The second task is complete.

After Cao Jian let the system get rid of his fatigue, he went out to eat, and found that the eight days had been consumed, and 5 of them had been consumed, and time was running out.

"Are you sure you want to start the third phase of the mission now?"

"Sure."

"Yes. The third stage of the task is also very simple. That's when you lead your players, under the defense of the league's No. 1 defensive lineup this year, organize the offense, and get 10 assists. ”

As for who is in the league's No. 1 defensive team this year, Cao Jian clearly remembers that there are Kobe, Christie, Duncan, Garnett, Ben Wallace and others.

These are all All-Star level figures in the modern league, but they are the league's highest level of defense.

Cao Jian wants to send 10 assists among these people, and it is not ordinarily difficult to complete it in these two days.

But does Cao Jian have a choice? Cao Jian has no choice, if he wants to stand out in the summer league, the skills must be mastered, the task must be completed, and the obstacles in front of him must be crossed, and now Cao Jian can only bite the bullet.
