Chapter 17: Where Are You From?
In fact, the most important thing than having a personal style is what Xiao Xiao is practicing desperately now, which is the most basic elements of basketball, dribbling, breaking, layups, and shooting.
These are the most basic things in basketball, and at the same time they are the most important things.
However, it has to be said that this is also the thing that is most ignored by basketball players. Since many players watch too many star highlights before practicing basketball, they subconsciously pursue fancy and exciting pursuits in their hearts.
Under this pursuit, the technical movements automatically become gorgeous, resulting in unreliable basic skills. As a result, it also determined that they could not achieve better results in professional basketball. This is what Xiao Shi said to Westbrook before, the foundation is decided, and the stronger the foundation, the higher the building can be built.
After a morning of practice, when it was almost noon, a staff member brought a carefully prepared lunch. This is John Wooden's special instructions, and lunch is also a very targeted athlete meal, which is used to supplement protein and various needs of the body, and at the same time increase muscle strength. After all, Xiao Xian's body is still a little thin, although his strength is not bad.
After lunch, Xiao Sa took a short break on the court, and then practiced for a while.
George came over, he kept his face strained, he had already written a war letter to Xiao Shi, and he was practicing desperately today. But when he watched Xiao Shi practice outside the window, he couldn't help but worry a little about himself. Because, Xiao Swan not only practiced more diligently than himself, but also improved quite amazingly. It can be clearly seen that his movements are more rounded, and the connection speed is faster.
Of course, he doesn't show his concerns. Instead, Tie Qing said to Xiao Shi with a blue face: "Let's go, Mr. Wooden is waiting for you." ”
"Okay." Xiao Xiao hurriedly put down the basketball in his hand, followed George to the car, and then went straight to Mr. Wooden's house.
Along the way, neither of them spoke. Although both of them are eager to talk, to get to know each other better.
When he came to Mr. Wooden's house, Wooden took Xiao Shi directly to the video room, and then very quickly entered the explanation of the five positions on the court.
Organizational guards, scoring guards, small forwards, power forwards, centers.
Each of the five locations John Wooden spent nearly an hour explaining. He explained very, very transparently, and this transparency made Xiao Xiao's understanding of the five positions on the court rise to a very high level at once. This is a height that is even unattainable by professional footballers.
Because not every player can have a teacher like John Wooden, and John Wood has never taught a student so patiently. After all, of the players he came into contact with, only Xiao Xiao was a real blank slate, so it gave him the fullest basis for depiction. So that he can pour out all the ideas in his head one by one and instill them into Xiao Shi.
Chick is undoubtedly lucky.
"Do you now have a clear idea of the division of the five positions?" John Wooden asked patiently after the explanation.
"Hmm." Xiao Sage nodded, he was honest, because he was sure he really understood.
"And which do you think your position is more suitable?" John Wooden asked, his eyes looking very serious.
"Shooting guard." Xiao Shi replied firmly, without even adding the more lofty-sounding name of the Swing Guard. He just wanted to be a shooting guard.
"Why?" John Wooden was a little surprised.
"Because I'm going to be the knife that tears the opponent apart, and at the same time the shooting guard is the second player on the court who carries the ball second only to the playmaker, which gives me a lot of freedom. My aim is to be a free killer on the field. That's a cool thing. Xiao said bluntly.
John Wooden smiled when he heard this, and he was quite satisfied with this answer. Because he also feels that Xiao Dash is more suitable to be a shooting guard. But he doesn't really agree with the word freedom, because he's an old-school academic coach. The biggest feature of academic coaching is... Old-fashioned, old-fashioned means that every player in his team has to follow the line of the tactical board, and every player is a member of the tight tactical system. So, players are not free on the pitch.
But in reality, players are free, even in the NBA.
Of course, the premise is that you're a superstar.
Superstardom means that your lethality exceeds the team's system, and when your ability exceeds the energy range of the tactical system, you are of course free to kill.
Therefore, Xiao Xiao still has a long way to go to achieve his goals.
"Aside from that, it's almost seven o'clock, and I'm hungry. You go ahead and cook some Chinese food, I asked the nanny to buy some pork today. John Wooden laughed, he had already begun to miss his chic cooking skills: "Don't you Chinese like to eat pork the most?" ”
"Okay, no problem." Xiao smiled and helped the old man out.
It makes him happy to be able to do something for John Wooden, because Mr. John Wooden is so selfless to help himself, what do he do for him in general? Even if it's a gift, it's okay.
Xiao Shi went to the kitchen, and soon a table of good dishes was prepared, and he also found out that John Wooden had actually bought rice. Hurriedly steamed a pot of fragrant white rice. This is the first time he has eaten rice since coming to the United States.
After the meal was served, John Wooden was still eating frantically with chopsticks, and he thought it was too delicious.
And George, who also eats like crazy, lives not far from the next door. Since John Wooden had told him to send him back in the evening, he naturally stayed at the table.
Originally, he was not very confident in his chic cooking skills, but when he ate the first piece of chili fried meat, his mouth could no longer stop, even if he kept shouting, hot! hot! But I just can't stop!
Because, it's so delicious!
A meal full of color and flavor ends with a mess of plates.
After cleaning up the dinner plate, Xiao Shi walked over. John Wooden couldn't help but ask: "Boy, listening to your accent, you don't look like a Chinese born in the United States, and the cooking is so delicious, are you an international student from China?" ”
As soon as John Wooden said this, Xiao Xiao's heart suddenly chuckled.
