Chapter 51: Sign up for the All-Star Three-Point Contest

The morning of the second day, the whole team had a restorative workout, and I practiced positional offensive techniques under the guidance of Steve Kate and Pete Johnson.

There is a saying in the NBA: Those who control the paint area can control the whole court. Therefore, the basket is a battleground for soldiers, and each team has n big men for them to squeeze under the basket, so that there is almost no space under the basket for you to dribble, jump calmly, and shoot calmly. If you want to score on the inside, you have to be good at your technique, and you have to go through a lot of practice and gain a lot of experience in order to get rid of the opponent's defense under the basket and find space to shoot. Every high school draft pick who didn't make it to the NCAA baptism was rough in his low-post offensive skills and had to be carefully honed for N years before he could succeed. Tyson Chandler, who entered the NBA draft with me, has never practiced a good low-post offense in his life, and has not averaged more than 1o points per game this season. Andrew Bynum, a young shark who entered the NBA in O5, also scored more than 1o points until the O7-O8 season. Dwight Howard, the monster who later made a name for himself in the NBA, rarely scored more than 2o points. The basket is so important that every team sees it as a battlefield, and if it wasn't for the physical goodness or the skill being good, it would be impossible to easily score 2o points on the NBA interior offense.

I've been practicing my footwork under the basket over and over again, and I hope I can do my best to mature my low-post skills. While others were doing shooting exercises after the warm-up.

At 11 o'clock, Doug Collins blew the whistle.

"Let's do a shooting game, the name of the game is to shoot and die, there will be seven fixed points at a distance of one step within the three-point line, everyone is taking turns to shoot a basketball at each point, and if you shoot, you will enter the next fixed point, and if you don't shoot, then you will do three sets of switchback runs, and finally the winner will not have to do switchback runs, and then go to dinner, okay?"

"Good!" Everyone replied in unison.

"Do I participate too?" I asked weakly.

"Well, you can participate too!" Doug Collins replied.

"Add one more condition, the first one to be eliminated, turn back and run to do six groups!" Doug Collins' voice rang out again.

"Huh? It's a bit much! ”

"Then shoot well!"

Soon the shooting sequence was finalized. Tyrone Lue was the first to play, followed by Chris Whitney, Courtney Alexander was third, Hubert Davis was fourth, I was fifth, Christian Lightner was sixth, Janherdy White was seventh, Etan Thomas was eighth, Brandon Haywood was ninth, Bobby Simmons was tenth, Richard Hamilton was eleventh and Michael Jordan was last. ** Jee Jones and Nesby Troni are not available due to injury.

Tyrone Lue, Chris Whitney, Courtney Alexander, and Hubert Davis easily passed the first set.

It was my turn. Christian Lightner leads, Etan Thomas, Janherdy White, and Brandon Heywood are constantly thinking about it: can't shoot, can't shoot! These bastards want to sacrifice me for their freedom!

I took the ball and dribbled a few times, took a deep breath, exhaled the turbidity in my chest, aimed at the basket with my eyes, jumped up gently, waist force, left hand lightly supported, right hand pushed the basketball out, the ball went in without suspense.

"Haha!" I looked defiantly at the big men behind me, "It's your turn!" Ha ha! ”

"Proud fart, throw it here, for Lao Tzu, it's like simply drinking boiled water!" Christian Leitner said as if it were me.

Christian Leitner stood at the first point, and louder fragments rang out behind him.

Christian Leitner's mid-range shot was relatively reliable, and although the ball bounced on the basket a few times, it finally plunged into the basket. Christian Leitner proudly walked up to me and said defiantly, "What's the matter? Kwame! Learn from my brother! ”

This old boy doesn't pretend to be a brother at all.

Janherdy White held the basketball with a sad look on his face, and behind him was bursts of broken thoughts.

Deflected, Janherdy White threw a basketball and smashed into the neck, but the basketball jumped a few times on the neck of the basket and plunged headlong into the basket. This is a real explosion of character. Jahn Hadi White grinned. Turning to Etan Thomas behind him, he said, "Dude, wait for you to see you turn back and run!" Don't throw it in! ”

An angry Etan Thomas picked up the basketball in his hand and tried to smash him, but Janherdy White ran away.

Unfortunately, Etan Thomas' shot didn't go in, and he had to do six switchbacks. The few people behind him who were doing broken thoughts finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next Brandon Haywood also didn't shoot, he is also a center, and his shooting ability is average. The rest of the people passed all at the first point.

The second point, Tyrone Ruw, who was the first to play, unexpectedly missed. Immediately after that, Gianherdy White also died at the second point. Everyone else passed the test safely.

The third point, all qualified

In the fourth point, Bobby Simmons was defeated by the broken thoughts of the bastards around him who had already completed the switchback run, and he was also counted in the army of broken thoughts.

The fifth point, all advances

The sixth point, all advance

On the seventh point, Courtney Alexander was the first to be thrown by the terrifying power of the Broken Thoughts army, followed by Christian Leitner who also joined the Broken Thoughts army. The only ones left on the court were, Chris Whitney, Hubert Davis, me, Richard Hamilton, Michael Jordan.

The game unfolds with a second round of competition.

The first point, Chris Whitney tragically died.

The second point, all of them are promoted, but the army of broken thoughts is unprecedentedly strong, as long as you get the ball, there will be a sound around you, "Can't throw!" I threw the basketball and it took two turns on the basket before it fell into the hoop. The only players left in the race were Hubert Davis, me, Richard Hamilton and Michael Jordan.

Everyone has a tenacity in their bones that they do not admit defeat, everyone wants to be the first, and no one wants to be worse than others. In the next few points of the second round, under the curse of the army of broken thoughts, Hubert Davis, me, Richard Hamilton, and Michael Jordan all hit.

And at the seven points of the third round, none of the four of us was dismissed!

Doug Collins looked at his watch, feeling that time was running out, and said, "Shoot from outside the three-point line, start shooting from outside the three-point line!" ”

Hubert Davis took the ball, took a look at it in the bottom corner, and took a shot, and the ball went into the basket safely.

I was the second to play, in the bottom corner, and I was supposed to be the worst at this point, and Pete Johnson gave me a 73.6 percent shooting percentage when I was training. I patted the basketball, blew on the basketball, and prayed to the gods and Buddhas in my heart: I must be allowed to throw, shoot, and the ball will go in! I made it through.

Richard Hamilton took the ball and stood in the bottom corner, dribbled the ball, found a feeling, shot, the ball went in!

Michael Jordan stood in the bottom corner with a stern face, looked at the basket slightly, raised his hand to shoot, and at the moment when the ball was shot, Jordan was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, and the basketball smashed into the basket and bounced away.

Ha, Christian Leitner took the lead in clapping and shouting as if he had hit a stunner. With Christian Leitner taking the lead, others also began to celebrate, and without Christian Leitner's lead, no one would really dare to do this, after all, Jordan also serves as the team's general manager.

Hubert Davis was surprised by Michael Jordan's exit, and at the next point, he didn't adjust, and there was an obvious turnover, and there was a three-pointer outside the basket. The army of broken thoughts cheered collectively. Courtney Alexander shouted at me: Kwamet, throw it away! We're going to eat! ”

This bastard! I concentrated and followed my own rhythm, jumped up gently, pushed hard at the waist, and shot, and the ball went in again.

"Why did you go in again? Kwamei really doesn't give face! This kid is not cured, not a good boy," Christian Leitner protested and then shouted to Richard Hamilton: "Richard, throw it away, the brethren are going to starve!" If you do, you'll be treated at night! Brethren, what do you say about Baston! ”

"Good!" An echo.

Richard Hamilton, ignoring the reason, focused on shooting. The ball goes in.

The third point, the ball goes in again!

The fourth fixed point is again entered.

The fifth fixed point is still all in.

The sixth fixed point is all in again.

The seventh fixed point, or all in.

There was a wail from the crowd, especially Christian Leitner and Hubert Davis, who did everything they could to interfere with my and Richard Hamilton's shots.

Doug Collins has announced the eighth round of the competition.

This time, it was Richard Hamilton who shot first.

I have to say that Richard Hamilton's shooting is very powerful, the standard shooting posture and steady feel allow him to score one goal after another. I also swung horizontally today, following him closely.

Another round, the army of broken thoughts has become numb, and it is no longer so painful and wailing. However, there are always some people who are not reconciled.

Richard Hamilton took the ball, jumped up and ready to make a shot. Just then, Christian Leitner suddenly ran past Richard Hamilton and missed the ball.

"This ball doesn't count! This ball doesn't count! Richard Hamilton shouted.

"Why don't you count, you lost it, you have to admit it if you lose it, hurry up and go back and run!" The opposition was unusually strong.

"Alright, Richard, if you let Kwame Brown, don't run away, let's all go to dinner, it's almost 12 o'clock." Doug Collins played a round.

"Boy, that's not bad! Killed them all! Christian Leitner sat across from me with a lunch tray.

"Swing horizontally!" I said humbly.

"you, is there a horizontal swing that throws more than 4o balls in a row?"

"There should be!" I touched my head and said.

"I'll get down to business." Christian Leitner suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

"What's the matter?" I asked

"Want to play in the All-Star Three-Point Contest?" Christian Leitner suddenly broke the news.

"Huh?"

"I know the person in charge of registration, I just called him to sign you up! Ha ha! ”

What the?

I'm dizzy!
