Chapter 3 Intra-Team Training Matches.

"This is my first intra-team training match, I must show well, even if my offensive ability is not strong, I must have a good performance in defense, God willing." I kept making crosses on my chest, praying in my heart that I knew was useless.

Jump ball, yes Jones and Etan Thomas, two backup centers from last season, jumped the ball to the top of last season's stand, Etan Thomas was taller and longer, and the jump ball was fed to veteran point guard Chris Whitney, who dribbled steadily. Kwame Brown and the others hurried back to their defenses.

Jordan said: The opponent's first scorer is Christian Leitner, and the opponent's first goal should be Leitner.

Christian Leitner, the only college student on the "Dream Team". A former All-Star, although injuries ruined him, he is still the favorite basketball star of Bill Walton.

And today I'm going to face him directly on this pitch and he'll be my first litmus test.

Whitney hoisted the ball firmly to Leitner, and I stuck to him, bent over, stretched my arms hard, and held him tightly for my first defense. I'm going to get it done.

Leitner took the ball, leaned back, tried the strength of the defense, felt Kwame Brown's seriousness, smiled, tilted his head, and said to Kwame Brown: "Kwame, congratulations on winning the draft." ”

"Thanks, Christian!" I didn't dare to relax a little bit, I clung to Leitner even tighter, none of these old oils were easy to deal with, and I had to cheer up every second.

"But Kwame, do you know how many drafts I'm going to be?" With a seductive smile on his fair face, Lightner asked unexpectedly.

"Huh?" I was a little stunned, I don't know why he asked this question.

In the moment when I was stunned, Leitner, right shoulder leaned my left chest, under the nerve reflex, my center of gravity suddenly shifted to the left, Leitner then turned around, wiped past my right, and made a light layup with his right hand, and the ball went in. My defense was a complete failure, and that's the strength of the All-Stars, that's the strength of the star who once made some of the most incredible shots in basketball history.

I felt small, and I leaned over and watched Leitner's feet hit the ground, filled with helplessness.

Leitner patted me on the shoulder and said, "Welcome to the NBA, boy, you're going to work hard." Uh, forget to tell you, I'm the '92 Tanhua Show, and ahead of me are Shaquille O'Neill and Alonzo Mourning, and I hope you're like O'Neill and Mourning. ”

Jordan shouted from the sidelines: "Kwamei, be attentive, don't get distracted, be tough on defense, don't let him take it lightly." ”

I know Jordan expects a lot from me, but it's still hard to defend the former NCAA scoring record holder right now, and I still have a long way to go, at least in trash talk. Trash talk, that was the first lesson Lightner taught me.

I clenched my fists and ran to the other half, shouting in my heart: "I will definitely succeed, I will definitely not be that parallel import." I'm a veritable champion. ”

Tyrone Lue, dribbling to the frontcourt, Whitney, bent over and stared at Luc, and I tangled with Leitner on the inside. I didn't expect anything else, the first ball wasn't going to let me play, the first ball was Hamilton's patent, Nesby and Jones were going to give Hamilton a pick-and-roll, and my job was to grab that rebound when Hamilton was missing, and that's probably the only thing I could do well, and I've been practicing for two and a half months for that. I firmly believe that I can make it. I can do it! I'll be able to do it!

Nesby stepped forward to block Tyrone Luw, Tyrone broke through to the inside, Hubert Davis hurried to make up for the defense, Tyrone passed to Nesby on the outside, Whitney defended Nesby, forming a misplaced defense, Hamilton understood that he would suddenly start to erase the inside, Nesby passed the high ball to Hamilton, Hamilton received the ball, jumped, Etan Thomas hurriedly made up for it, stretched out his big palm, and tried to block Hamilton's shot.

Perhaps it was the first shot, his hand was not yet hot, or perhaps he was interfered with by Thomas, Hamilton sensed that something was wrong and shouted, "Rebound!" ”

I was young, I was one of the best guys in NBA history, I was strong, I was in a position, I was holding Leitner out, I didn't believe anyone else could snatch me at this time, I yelled, "This is mine." ”

Facts are impermanent, you never know what will happen in the next quarter of an hour, the basketball turns twice on the basket, and then falls into the basket, I look through the autumn water under the basket, but I don't catch a single hair.

No discouragement, no helplessness. This is luck, Kwame Brown's luck is not good, if Kwame hadn't met Jordan in the previous life. His draft position isn't that high, and there is time for him to show up slowly, and 8o% of basketball pundits think he might be able to do well. Now I can only face the tricks of fate, to face these things hard, to seize those opportunities that do not belong to me.

The tide retreated, and Leitner and I became entangled again. This time I swear I will not let him pass lightly. My body was my greatest strength, and I sank my weight, raised my hands high, and pressed Leitner tightly to prevent him from turning around comfortably, and pushed him out hard.

Leitner got the ball again and leaned hard inside with my back, but I stood there firmly, not moving even a centimeter. Lightner saw that it was seamless and passed the ball back to Whitney. Whitney received the ball, faced Tyrone Lue's defense, and kept roaming around the perimeter, looking for opportunities.

My eyes were firmly fixed on Leitner, not daring to relax his defense, I said silently in my heart: "Boy, you are the most watery champion in NBA history, your opponent is the most powerful power forward in NBA history, as long as you guard him, you will get rid of the title of parallel import, work hard, you must work hard......"

Leitner suddenly lifted up to make a pick-and-roll for Whitney, and Whitney, suddenly lifted around Lightner and hit the gap between me and Jones, and I quickly made up for it. One step, two steps, Whitney jumped high and made a layup in three steps. I kicked hard with both feet, jumped up with all my strength, and slammed my right hand at Whitney's basketball.

"Di" assistant coach Henderson whistled for a "hitter foul". I slapped Whitney's hand, and Whitney shook his hands exaggeratedly and said to me, "Kwamei, don't commit murder!" My little arms and legs can't stand your devastation. ”

"I'm sorry, Chris, I thought I could shoot the ball, I didn't expect me to shoot your hand, I'm so sorry." I hurried to make up for my mistakes, Whitney's personal ability may not be outstanding, but he will be the assist king of the Wizards this season, he has been with the Wizards all his life, he is extremely loyal to the Wizards, he has never thought of leaving, and the Wizards management also respects him very much, he is one of the people on the team who cannot be offended.

"It's fine, but next time be careful not to push too hard." Whitney said.

"Even, definitely." I replied.

Etan Thomas sideline ball, Whitney took the ball, looking for opportunities on the outside, time was running out, Whitney changed direction, shook off Tyrone Luw, killed inside, I was entangled with Lightner, Hamilton hurriedly came from the side to make up for the defense, facing Hamilton, Whitney raised his hand and passed to Lightner, Lightner received the ball, turned around, jumped, and shot......

I kept staring at Leitner, I didn't wander for a second, the moment Leitner caught the ball, I was close, the moment he turned around, I had already stuck to it, and when he jumped, I jumped up, and the moment I shot the basketball, my hand was also pressed on the basketball......

I don't know who said it: offense is based on talent, and defense is based on attitude.

Offensively, my talent really doesn't stand out, but defensively I have a really good attitude and I believe I'm trying my best to defend every ball.

I succeeded, my right hand hit the basketball hard, I heard a "pop", the basketball changed lines and flew to the front court, Tyrone Lu ran to the front court quickly, the front court was empty, Tyrone Lu easily made a layup to end the round.

I slapped my right hand my chest, and I shouted, "Ah! Yes! ”

I was so excited that I wanted to say to the world, "I'm not a parallel import. ”

I felt tears in the corners of my eyes and I cried.

Jordan was shouting something from the sidelines, Simmons was applauding me, it was a really wonderful block, but that's all they knew, they didn't know what it meant to me.

"What's wrong, boy," Lightner asked, seeing that something was wrong with me.

"No, nothing, it just feels a little incredible." I wiped my eyes and said.

"Oh!" Lightner turned and walked forward, and said without looking back, "Good job, boy, maybe you'll catch up with Monin." ”

Suddenly, a huge sense of well-being hit my brain, I was recognized as the greatest shooter in NCAA history, and he said I could compare to Alonzo Mourning, and I felt a little dizzy. In the NBA's 9O years, Alonzo Mourning, who was only behind the big four centers. I feel so happy......

The final result of the game doesn't matter anymore, I just know that I was at the end of the game.

Jordan smiled and said to me, "Boy, good defense. ”

Leitner rubbed his waist, frowned, and said, "Boy, don't use so much force on me when you defend." ”

Of course, I can't forget it, Hamilton shook his head and said, "Apprentice, you have to practice your mid-range shot, why didn't you score a single one except a dunk?" ”

・・・・・・・・・・・・

I firmly believe that my tomorrow will be better, and I firmly believe that I am no longer a parallel import. I'll be a real 2oo1 champion show.

The future will open its arms to me......
