Chapter Forty-Seven: First Acquaintance with Streetball
After a week of fierce competition, the CUBA Southwest Division came to an end at the Guangzhou University Gymnasium. In the finale basketball final, the basketball team of Wuhan University of Technology defeated the basketball team of Hunan University 77-70 and won the championship of the southwest region.
The basketball team of Hunan University also won the runner-up, the basketball team of Guangzhou University and the basketball team of Hubei University of Technology won the third and fourth places respectively, plus the basketball team of the champion Wuhan University of Technology, these four teams will represent the southwest region and compete in the national top 16.
After the game, many media flocked to the basketball team of Wuhan University of Technology, the new champion, and several major Hunan media interviewed Liu Qing, the head coach of the basketball team of Hunan University.
"As a team of local colleges, we have neither the popularity of famous schools such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, nor the heritage of Huaqiao University and Wuhan University of Technology, which have a long tradition of basketball, but we are a very united team, and the school also attaches great importance to and supports our team, so the team has made some progress in recent years" Coach Liu Qing's answer is very official, not leaky, for the next national competition, Coach Liu Qing only euphemistically said that the team will fight one by one, and strive for new breakthroughs.
"Hey, see you in the national competition for a chance" Just as Gao Dazhuang packed up his belongings and was about to evacuate, a fist stretched out in front of Gao Dazhuang.
Dai Huaibo walked in front of the tall man in the surprised eyes of everyone.
"Hey, good," Gao Dazhuang smiled, and also clenched his fist and touched Dai Huaibo's fist.
"A good opponent," Gao Dazhuang looked at the departing Dai Huaibo and sighed.
"It's still a stinky fart, anyway, their whole team is a stinky fart" Yang Kai made an indecent gesture to Dai Huaibo, obviously this kid was not convinced.
Although they lost the final, the Hunan University basketball team still achieved very outstanding results in this expedition to Guangzhou, and the identity of the runner-up also confirmed the potential of this young team.
So as soon as they arrived at the hotel, everyone quickly got rid of the sadness of defeat, and everyone was elated, and there was even better news that made the team members jubilant.
Since Jiang Ping ordered a train ticket for the next morning, the coaching staff decided to move freely in the evening, provided that they could not act alone and should be together.
Looking at Yang Kai, who was about to move, the tall and strong kindly reminded: "This disabled person with leg cramps, are you okay?" ”
Yang Kai glanced at the tall and strong, and said: "Yes, go, please have a big meal, in addition, in view of my cramps today, I decided to retire my Kobe boots with honor, and I have to purchase new boots later, and you should also change to a pair of better sneakers."
"You take out a loan?" The conditions of Gao Dazhuang's village are good, but a pair of players worth thousands of yuan is still a luxury for Gao Dazhuang.
"Count me as sponsored, and return me when I go back" Yang Kai is very tall and strong in the family situation, and the brothers who have no hesitation at this time.
After the team was disbanded, Gao Dazhuang, Yang Kai, and Luo Zhen, three comrades from the law school, quickly formed a small group and went straight to Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street, an old commercial center in Guangzhou.
Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street is located in Shangjiu Road, Xiajiu Road and Shishifu Road in Liwan District, Guangzhou (commonly known as Xiguan), which is one of the three traditional prosperous commercial centers in Guangzhou, and is well-known at home and abroad.
After the local tyrant Yang Kai took Gao Dazhuang and Luo Zhen to eat all kinds of snacks in the well-known old store "Xiguan People" on Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street, they began to sweep the shops, of course, the eyes of the three of them were mainly focused on the beauties who visited the night market.
"Tsk, a beauty" Yang Kai commented like this along the way, pointing and pointing, if it weren't for the fact that these three people were too tall, it is estimated that Yang Kai would have been corrected on the spot by the beauty's flower messenger.
"Hey, look over there," the tall man called out to the nymphomaniac.
"What level of beauty?" Yang Kai's eyes lit up and he quickly looked for a target on the street.
"Beautiful, you see it's so lively in front, there's a basketball game," said Gao Dazhuang, pointing to a group of people gathering in front of him.
"There's a basketball court here? Let's go, take a look" Yang Kai waved his hand, and it was the basic surname of the Chinese people to see the excitement.
"Oh", the tall man heard a burst of exclamations from the crowd from a long distance, accompanied by the sound of the hoop being pulled.
With their strong physique and height, the tall and strong group fought their way through the crowd and rushed to the infield.
It's a makeshift proposed basketball court with people doing one-on-one "bullfighting" on the court.
There was a large billboard above the stadium that read "Shake God - World Streetball Superstar China Tour".
"Oh, streetball, Xuan" Yang Kai yelled excitedly, "Damn, my idol."
"What's the situation?" Tall and strong, who knows nothing about streetball, desperately needs to know the truth.
"The player who fought on the pitch was China's street ball king Wu You, a native of Yanjing, who is 1.75 meters tall and is definitely the first person in the domestic street ball circle," Yang Kai said, pointing to a short player on the pitch.
I saw that player, extremely skillful in dribbling, but slightly exaggerated, and played another spectator-like fan on the field.
"This? It's too impractical, isn't it" Gao Dazhuang looked at it for a while and frowned and said, this player named Wu You has dazzling feints, but it doesn't seem to be for attacking, but for teasing the opponent.
"You're a layman, streetball is a kind of culture, based on regular basketball, and different from a basketball style of regular basketball, what is important is cool, free, creative, playing streetball is more to show off basketball skills, and the number of people doesn't matter, the defense doesn't need to be too strict, the outcome doesn't care too much, just enjoy the fun of playing basketball in the palm of your hand" Yang Kai was a temporary explanation to Gao Dazhuang literacy.
"Every good street ball player has a unique style and skills to win the approval and respect of the audience, they make street basketball more ornamental and entertaining, real street basketball is not only a sport, but also an art" Obviously, Yang Kai is also a street fan, no wonder Yang Kai has a little spirit in his dribble.
However, Wu You's dribbling and breakthrough abilities on the field are quite outstanding, and there are several movements, which are unbelievable to watch.
"Do you see those black people on stage? That's the real king of streetball: hotsauce - the world's most popular and ultra-popular streetball player, professor - the most successful white player in the history of streetball, mr.720airupthere - the only popular dunk in the world who can complete a 720° slam dunk in the air; A.O. - A passing master from Philadelphia, a very popular superstar in espnstreeball" Yang Kai excitedly introduced Gao Dazhuang with a pilgrimage mood.
"Damn, you know so much," Gao Dazhuang asked in surprise.
"I know a fart, I only know hotsauce, which one stands in the middle" Yang Kai replied with a smile.
"What about the others?"
"You don't look at the poster yourself, do you?"
…………….
The "bullfight" on the court continued.
A staff member close to Gao Dazhuang was interviewed by a TV station: "Because of our love for basketball, especially because of the problem of the way out for all non-professional basketball fans caused by our system, and the current situation that street basketball in China is not recognized, we decided to create a truly commercial and entertaining street basketball competition." ”
"So how does this streetball game differ from traditional sporting events?" The reporter asked.
"In the form of the game, we have broken through the monotonous mode of traditional sports competitions, catered to the psychology of young audiences pursuing fashion, and introduced the most advanced lighting, sound, stage and music into the game. ”
A round of applause pulled the attention of the tall and strong man away from the interview.
"The world's greatest streetball player, hotsauce" Under the introduction of the host's American commentary, a black young man with a height of about 1.85 meters walked slowly to the center of the court, accepting the cheers of the fans, like a king descending.
"Is there anyone in the audience who would like to come up and compete with hotsauce and the greatest street ball player in the world?" the host shouted loudly.
"I'll come, I'll come" In the surprised eyes of the tall and strong, Yang Kai roared and jumped into the court.
