Chapter Forty-Eight: The Potential of Genius
"Mr. Xiao, can we try you out next?" Sam Presti looked like she had dug up a treasure, and she was very excited.
Before Xiao Shi could speak, Bob, the Westbrook agent on the side, had already taken the initiative to speak: "Let Xiao and Russell play against each other, so that you can try out two players at one time." ”
As soon as Bob said this, Westbrook quickly pulled the corner of his clothes. He was a little worried, because he wasn't sure he would be able to completely defeat Xiao Spur, and if Sam Presti found that he couldn't easily beat a rookie who had only been basketball for 20 days, then it would definitely affect his value in their minds.
Obviously, Bob would be wrong. He thought that Westbrook Clara's corner of his clothes didn't want to embarrass his good brother too much. However, as an agent, his goal is to get his employer the highest favor, and now that there are ready-made supporting characters here, why not let Westbrook shine as the main character?
In Bob's opinion, even the most talented person is unlikely to pose a real threat to Westbrook. Therefore, he regarded chic as a supporting role and a stepping stone.
When Sam Presti heard this, he hesitated a little, and he also felt that it seemed a little unfair, so he asked Xiao Shy, "Would you like to do a confrontational tryout with Westbrook?" ”
"No problem." He nodded with a smile, he was about to test the progress he had made in recent times.
When Westbrook heard this, he couldn't help but complain a little about Bob, this guy knew that he had a bad idea. If it was a full-court duel, Westbrook would definitely not have any scruples about Chic, but in a one-on-one duel, he was a little unsure, because he was not sure that he could defend Chick's weird breakthrough rhythm.
Sam Presti saw that Xiao Wan agreed, and did not ask Westbrook any more. In his opinion, the winner of this game must also be Westbrook, after all, Xiao Xiao has only played basketball for 20 days.
So, he didn't think there was any need for Westbrook to refuse.
So, he announced the start of the trial: "If there are no problems, let's start the trial." There is no winner in this matchup, because I will call a halt at any moment. My professional team and I will analyse every move you make, we will watch every shining point in your duel, and whether you score or not is not the only criterion. Okay, let's go! ”
After Sam Presti announced the start, Dash and Westbrook walked to the left-hand half. Very quickly, everyone in the stadium gathered, including Byron Davis, including Jennifer.
Everyone is watching this matchup, and even though Sam Presti said he doesn't care about winning or losing, there are still people who care about winning or losing.
Of course, most people thought that Westbrook, a young genius who rose to fame, would definitely win the race.
However, Jennifer is still firmly on Xiao's side, after all, this is her man.
When the duel began, Jennifer was already yelling, "Shaw, come on, I want you to beat this guy." ”
Jennifer's shouting attracted the attention of many people, after all, her beauty is beyond doubt, and she also said such amazing words, can it not attract attention? Actually want a rookie who has only played basketball for 20 days to defeat the young and famous Westbrook? Do you know basketball?
Jennifer really doesn't understand basketball, but she just doesn't want to lose.
And Xiao Xiao didn't want to lose, and now with Jennifer's support, his belief in winning has doubled!
He felt that he was finally not fighting alone, and that someone was finally able to stand behind him and cheer him on.
This is a feeling he has never had since he was born an orphan, so he does not want to live up to this feeling.
In an instant, the fighting spirit is bursting!
Gotta win!
Xiao Sprinkle muttered silently in his heart, his eyes full of determination.
At this time, Westbrook, who was standing opposite him, asked in a low voice, "Hey, Xiao, who is that beautiful woman on the sidelines?" It can't be your girlfriend, right? ”
"You guessed it." Xiao Sao smiled slightly. Slowly bent down, all his attention was on the basketball, his left hand began to slap the basketball densely, the basketball was very fast at his side, the trajectory was uncertain, but it was completely under his control.
By this time, a senior scout next to Sam Presti had already written in his notebook: "Strong left-handed ball control. ”
Before he finished writing this sentence, he sprinted forward violently, slapped the ball with his left hand, and instantly the whole person's body rushed up. Westbrook subconsciously took a half step back, and although he had already guessed that Xiao Shao was a feint, he still couldn't control his subconscious.
He tried hard to stop himself from retreating, but Xiao Shi had already stopped and retreated.
With a slick shot percentage, if you don't quickly cling to it, it will definitely be a three-pointer.
There was no way, Westbrook could only quickly adjust his focus and move forward to defend.
At the same time, Xiao Shi quickly rushed forward and hit him by surprise with an unstable center of gravity.
He quickly braked, spun in front of him, and then easily passed Westbrook and cut all the way into the box for an easy layup.
looked at the defensive center of gravity of Westbrook like this, and finally easily spun past people and scored layups.
Jennifer, who was watching the excitement, jumped up and clapped her palms for the first time and shouted: "Great! Xiao, this ball is so exciting, you are my super idol! ”
Jennifer was very excited, and then she quickly took out her mobile phone and took several photos of Xiao Sa in a row.
Watching the hilarious Jennifer, apparently took the lead to vent her praise for the ball.
The pro at the doorman was visibly stunned for a few seconds before he came to his senses, and Bob stared at the court with wide eyes: How could that be? How can someone who has only practiced basketball for 20 days control the rhythm so well?
Byron Davis was also surprised: "This rhythm is a bit like Tim Hardaway, no... More like the Chris Paul guy. No, this is his own style, the basketball and the body are completely combined, one and the same, advancing and retreating together, and the pace is so amazing. Not to mention Westbrook, even me, may not be able to defend!! ”
"Incredible, incredible." Sam Presti shook his head again and again, he is also a veteran of the professional basketball world for many years, but he has really never seen many people who can practice dribbling so skillfully and advance and retreat so freely.
While Sam was amazed, the scouts behind him had already written their comments: the breaking rhythm was unique, the ball control was amazing, and the body control was almost perfect.
If Xiao Sa saw these comments, he might not be particularly able to understand the first two professional terms, but when it came to the ability to control the body, he was definitely full of confidence. After all, since he was a child, he has been shuttling in the dense forest, and if his body control ability is not perfect, in the state of running at high speed, those old vine thorns can pull out the flesh and blood. In this kind of living environment, the ability to control the body has long been practiced. After all, natural selection for the survival of the fittest is Darwin's theory of evolution.
Dash took the ball beyond the three-point line and handed it to Westbrook.
Westbrook's face was a little ugly at this time, he looked at Xiao Shao, and his tone was a little cold: "You lied to me." You say, if I knew you, I could prevent your breakthrough. However, this time was almost exactly the same as that one, and I still couldn't defend it. ”
"Uh..."Xiao was a little speechless, he didn't know how to comfort Westbrook's wounded heart, so he could only remind him sternly: "I'm on trial now, play well, don't think about messing around." ”
"I'll play well."
Westbrook said seriously with his head down, and then he bent down, hunched over and began to dribble, snap! The basketball was densely and watertight by him, and it looked flawless at all.
And Xiao Shao, who was standing opposite him, didn't think about 'hitting' at all, he just stuck in a defensive position and spread his terrifying long arms. Then use your feet to stomp on the offensive steps that Westbrook might be taking.
The dashing defense starts with the defense of the lower set because his long arms are wide enough.
And that's his defensive system.
Westbrook's ball became more beautiful and flawless. But... However, he found that he had no ability to advance at all, so he could only slowly retreat.
This situation fell in the eyes of the audience on the sidelines, and Jennifer, who was watching the excitement, only felt that Westbrook's dribbling was also very beautiful, as if it was no worse than 'dear Shaw'.
But for the people who watched the doorway, it was a staggering amazement, and the defensive literacy or single defense literacy that came out of the chic table was already at the professional level. Considering that he has only been in contact with basketball for less than twenty days, it can basically be concluded that this is a peerless genius, or a peerless genius within a peerless world!
Byron Davis even thought in his heart: if this guy from the age of ten ... No, I've been playing basketball since I was fifteen, and there's no suspense about this year's top pick.
Sam Presti basically thinks the same way, but his prediction is that if Xiao Grace had been exposed to basketball earlier, he would definitely not have run in the first round.
He's got a lot of eyes on it now. Just because Xiao Xiao was only able to reach this point in basketball for only 20 days, he was willing to gamble with a draft pick. Although there is a big difference between heads-up and official matches, and a good single-up player may not be suitable for the whole game, but since Xiao Sao has shown the potential of a genius, he has no reason to refuse him at all. Potential, once it bursts out, it's earth-shattering. Although it is said that the potential of many geniuses does not explode until the day of retirement, many people are willing to bet. It's nature!
