Chapter Eighty-Nine: Practice Match
"Hi", I was jogging with the team, and I suddenly heard someone on the side saying hello, and when I looked back, the voice came from a sturdy young man about 2 meters tall.
"Introduce yourself, I'm Zhai Yi, where are you?" The player took the initiative to fall into the row of tall and strong and Yang Kai, and asked as he ran.
"Hunan" tall and strong replied truthfully.
"Oh, are you from a sports school?" Zhai Yi asked for a big moment.
"No, Hunan University," Gao Dazhuang replied.
“CUBA? Oh, I know, Hunan University is the national champion of CUBA this year," Zhai Yi said with a little surprise.
"Luck, by the way, Brother Zhai, let me inquire, what is the club's usual trial process? How can I stay? Gao Dazhuang inquired.
"Every year there are always a few tryouts for young players in the club, but if you want to stay, you have to depend on your own ability, the final decision is up to the coach, but since you won the CUBA championship, you also want to have a few brushes," Zhai Yi said with a smile.
……
The two talked all the way, and the young people were always easy to make friends, and the team jogged the 5,000-meter warm-up during their heat therapy.
"Hey, Da Zhuang, I hope you have good physical strength, and the intensive physical training is about to begin" Obviously Zhai Yi is very familiar with Coach Wang Yong's training course.
Sure enough, after completing the 5000-meter group jog, after a short break:
The team ran 4 sets of 400 meters at normal speed, with 2 minutes of rest between each group; Then 4 sets of 200-meter normal speed runs, with 1 minute rest interval between each group; 2 groups of 100-meter full-speed runs, with 30-second rest intervals between each group; 2 sets of 4X10 switchback runs, with 30 seconds of rest between each set;
After these high-intensity outdoor trainings, the team returned to the court for such as full-court fast dribble runs, Z-shaped fast dribble runs, sideline sprints to score goals, and chest passes to the full court speed runs.
In the end, the team came together as a group to start from the sideline on one side of the court, quickly run to the other sideline in a straight line and quickly return to the training, running together 17 times, and the standard is 1 minute 06 seconds.
However, all the professionally trained players of the Shanghai youth team met the standard, but fortunately, Gao Dazhuang and Yang Kai were not slow and passed smoothly.
At the end of the 17 runs, all the players were panting and sweating wet the stadium floor.
"Are you alright?" Seeing that Yang Kai's lips beside him were a little purple, Gao Dazhuang asked with concern.
"It's okay," Yang Kai waved his hand.
"Da Zhuang, with you, is there anything wrong?" Zhai Yi gasped and looked at Gao Dazhuang with a little surprise and said.
"My family is from the mountains, and I have been climbing mountains and mountains since I was a child," Gao Dazhuang replied with a smile.
"There's your kid," Zhai Yi gave the tall tree a thumbs up.
Finally, Coach Wang Yong announced the end of the morning training session after leading everyone to do some recovery training, and informed that there will be an intra-team confrontation practice in the afternoon, hoping that everyone can rest well at noon, and consciously glanced at Gao Dazhuang.
Although Gao Dazhuang and Yang Kai are both trial players, the Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club still arranged beds for the two of them in the players' dormitory very humanely, and after a morning of training, Gao Dazhuang and Yang Kai quickly became familiar with other players in the Shanghai Youth Team.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the players came to the stadium together, they found Coach Wang Yong and an old foreign man standing aside and chatting.
"That's the head coach of our youth team - Todd Trock, American, old-fashioned, Coach Wang Yong is his assistant, it seems that today's game is mainly to examine you," Zhai Yi explained in time without waiting for Gao Dazhuang to ask.
Coach Wang Yong immediately organized the players to warm up after seeing the players coming, and Todd was obviously still waiting for someone.
After waiting for ten minutes, the person waiting for Coach Todd finally arrived, and Gao Dazhuang knew this person, not only Gao Dazhuang, but all the teenagers who loved basketball knew him.
He is the current owner of the Shanghai Big Sharks Basketball Club - Yao Ming.
Yao Ming, a milestone figure in the history of Chinese basketball, joined the NBA Houston Rockets as the "champion show" and was selected as an NBA All-Star 7 times, he is undoubtedly one of the most influential figures in Chinese basketball and a banner of Chinese basketball in the world.
In 2009, Yao Ming acquired the Shanghai men's basketball team and became the owner of the Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club.
When Yao Ming's height of more than 2.20 meters appeared on the court, Yang Kai was so excited that he grabbed the tall man and muttered, "See? That's my idol Yao Ming, I want his autograph."
"See, you behave well, his signature will appear on your contract," Gao Dazhuang turned his head and said to Yang Kai negotiately.
"Huh? Da Zhuang, this is really an opportunity, we must take advantage of it" Yang Kai, who had comprehended it, suddenly became very serious.
"Let Yao Ming see our strength," Gao Dazhuang said confidently with a clenched fist.
"Wow, that's so cool," Yang Kai exclaimed.
Yao Ming and Coach Todd sat on the sidelines together, and the training game officially began.
Gao Dazhuang and Yang Kai were divided into Group B and wore red vests, while Group A wore white vests.
Group A: Center Li Yifei, power forward Zhai Yi, small forward Wang Xiaoxin, scoring guard Zhu Ying, point guard Bu Lingxuan, Group A is also the main lineup of the Shanghai youth team.
Group B: Center Li Zhihao, big forward Zhang Chengyu, small forward Gao Dazhuang, scoring guard Han Yue, point guard Yang Kai, according to Coach Wang Yong's arrangement, Gao Dazhuang served as a small forward in Group B.
"Da Zhuang, I won't release water because it's a friend" When the game was about to start, Zhai Yi walked up to Gao Da Zhuang and said.
"Of course, I won't show mercy either," Gao Dazhuang replied with the same firmness.
Zhai Yi smiled and nodded.
"Toot", Coach Wang Yong blew the whistle at the beginning of the game.
The center of both sides competes for the ball, knocks the ball away, and jumps tall to put the ball under the basket.
At this time, Coach Todd pointed to the tall and strong and communicated with Yao Ming in English.
Group B launched the attack first, and Yang Kai controlled the ball.
After the baptism of CUBA and Yang Kai's own "big heart", Yang Kai's style of play at this time has become more and more stable.
Yang Kai was firmly in control of the ball at the top of the free throw arc, looking for an opportunity.
Gao Dazhuang also ran around the free throw line from the baseline at this time, Yang Kai was waiting for this opportunity, and the first attack in Group A was launched by the double stars of Hunan University.
Yang Kai suddenly started to break through, and the tall and strong blocked the path of the opponent's point guard Bu Lingxuan.
It was still a tacit understanding between the two, Yang Kai got rid of the defense and rushed into the penalty area, and after attracting the attention of the defenders, he made a fierce pass to the ground, and passed the ball to the tall and strong man who was inserted at high speed on the wing.
"Slap" tall and strong hands clasped the incoming ball, and the trend was a layup.
At this time, Group A big forward Zhai Yi moved sideways in front of Gao Dazhuang.
But the tall and strong attack was very resolute, with a "snap", and his feet stepped heavily on the floor and rose directly into the air.
"Drink" Zhai Yi also shouted, jumped high and sealed it.
"Peng" and the two collided directly in the air, and it has to be said that Zhai Yi of the Shanghai Youth Team is physically stronger than anyone he met in CUBA.
But Gao Dazhuang's style of play is also becoming more and more mature, Gao Dazhuang did not choose to collide head-on, but slightly sideways, while unloading the impact force, he slid from Zhai Yi's side with a hook.
"Brush", the ball passed through the nets very softly, and the tall and strong successfully won the first point of the game.
A round of applause came from the sidelines, apparently only the team owner Yao Ming and youth team head coach Todd were sitting there, and it was clear that the tall and strong had just won their approval for the ball.
The other players of the Shanghai youth team also looked tall and strong with a little surprise, because Zhai Yi himself is the best player in the youth team, and it is rumored that he will soon be promoted to the first team.
But just now, this trial player obviously defeated Zhai Yi head-on.
After the "good pass" goal, Gao Dazhuang did not forget to high-five Yang Kai to celebrate, and the duo went all the way from the campus of Hunan University to the CBA Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club.
The counterattack in Group A was very sharp, and Zhai Yi, who was eager to counterattack, forcibly squeezed the defender under the basket and proved that he was the boss of the youth team with a powerful dunk.
But then Group B's scoring guard Han Yue broke through and made a "horse archery" shot, and the ball bounced out of the basket.
Just when Zhai Yi surpassed his own side and the opposing center with an excellent bounce and was about to accept this defensive rebound, the tall and strong suddenly appeared behind him.
"Bang" is tall and strong, and with a slight click, the basketball that is about to fall into Zhai Yi's hands will bounce to the basket again.
"Brush", tall and strong to make up the basket hit.
"Damn, you kid is a master," after landing on the ground, Zhai Yi turned his head sharply and said angrily at Gao Dazhuang.
"Accept and concede," Gao Dazhuang joked with a smile.
