Chapter 8:

After eating, Xiao asked Westbrook to drive him home.

When he got home, he said hello to Mr. Curry, who was watching TV on the couch, and he lay back in bed exhausted.

Then he fell asleep.

As he fell into a deep sleep with the sound of even breathing, his body appeared in the dream and began to practice his daytime dribbling movements over and over again.

In the dream, his movements began to gradually become standard and well adapted to his physical characteristics, all the movements seemed to be tailor-made for him, and soon developed his own style of dribbling.

If normal basketball players knew about this, they would definitely be stupid. Because it takes at least a few years to polish the technique into your own style, and even some players can't form their own style and play their own rhythm in their lifetime.

The tempering in a dream does not need to be physically demanding, and it can be quickly and deeply remembered, because it is a subconscious dominating action.

In a sense, the amount of exercise in one night can be equivalent to the amount of exercise in ten days of the average basketball player. Moreover, this exercise also has an automatic correction function, so it is far from normal training in terms of efficiency.

When I woke up the next day, Xiao Sa didn't have any discomfort, but was quite refreshed.

After Lenny Kuhn's breakfast, Xiao Xiao pushed an old mountain bike out of the warehouse, said goodbye to Mr. Kuhn, and rode to the training gym on his own.

Xiao Shi didn't want to bother Kuhn too much, after all, he was eating his house here now, and he had to pick him up every day, so he was too embarrassed. And, pedaling the bike is also a very good warm-up action.

After riding through the beautiful and luxurious Beverly Hills, we made it to UCLA University and then into the training gym, before the Bruins players arrived and the staff did not go to work. But he still easily found a basketball on the sideline and practiced it seriously.

After a night of dream tempering, his movements were really smooth and sharp, and at the same time, he felt very handy, without the slightest sense of stagnation, as if he was born to dribble like this.

He was very pleasantly surprised, and kept admiring that he was indeed a genius.

When Westbrook and the others came over and saw Xiao Xiao dribbling so smoothly and fluently, they were all amazed. Westbrook even ran over and asked, "Xiao, did you deliberately pretend that you don't know how to play basketball yesterday?" Why didn't you see it all night, and suddenly your dribbling was so fluent. ”

"Didn't I tell you earlier? I'm a genius. Xiao glanced at Westbrook angrily, and said in a stinky voice: "Genius cannot be speculated by the experience of ordinary people like you. ”

"Genius?" Westbrook frowned, then looked up and down, though he was reluctant to admit that this stinky guy was a genius, but... Isn't it a genius to practice dribbling so skillfully in one day? This must be genius!

However, Westbrook still didn't believe it, he said a little excitedly: "Okay, I'll teach you to break through to the basket today, if you can learn to break through to the basket as smoothly as dribbling in one day, I agree that you are a genius!" ”

"Geniuses don't need to be recognized, but I have to let you, an ordinary person, see the gap between geniuses and mortals." Xiao took Westbrook's challenge very seriously......

This kind of serious stinky fart is undoubtedly the highest level of agitation for Westbrook.

"Come on, follow me to set up these dummies, I don't believe you can break through and practice in one day!" Westbrook looked unconvinced, and hurriedly went to find a few dummies, especially increasing the difficulty, and the whole half quickly made him dense, even if it was a master, it was difficult to complete it quickly.

With the dummy set up, he began to teach Shaw how to dribble and how to make layups.

Then the two began a silent comparison.

Westbrook finished with a very calm finish and it was perfect.

The dashing breakthrough is all kinds of mistakes, all kinds of knocking over the dummy.

The two practiced for more than half an hour, and Xiao Xiao still couldn't master the rhythm of the breakthrough layup, but he was still practicing seriously.

The chic seriousness made the players on the side quite touched, although the chic actions were a little funny and clumsy, but as long as they were serious about doing things, they deserved respect.

However, it is clear that Ben Holland does not appreciate dashing seriousness.

When he arrived at the arena and found that Westbrook had occupied half of the stadium with a dummy, he was particularly unhappy. Because of such a field, he occupies one side, and he can't conduct full-court offensive and defensive drills. The knockout round is about to start, and time is the winner or loser!

"I knew I shouldn't have let this damn stowaway into our team. Sooner or later, he's going to do something bad!! ”

Ben Holland gritted his teeth, he was furious.

But now even if there is anger, he can't explode, he can only hold back his anger and call Westbrook over: "Russell, come here!" ”

Westbrook heard Ben Holland's call and hurriedly ran over.

Ben Holland suppressed his anger, tried to keep his tone as gentle as possible, and pointed to the dummy props and said, "Russell, what's going on?" ”

Westbrook didn't feel the other emotion in Ben Holland's tone, but said happily, "Oh, I'm making a bet with Xiao." He said he was a genius, I didn't believe it, and then I put a hard time on him, and if he could use the technique of the breakthrough layup smoothly tomorrow morning, I would believe him! ”

Sure enough, it's a damn stowaway!

Ben Holland gritted his teeth, and looked at Xiao Shao, who was seriously practicing disguised breakthroughs, with resentful eyes, extremely resentful. He was thinking about how to get this guy out in a way that didn't hurt his friendship with Ranny Kuhn. Now that the knockout rounds are here, this guy must not be allowed to continue to wreak havoc.

"You're taking up half of the basketball court, isn't that right?"

"It's okay, sir. I'm at the tactical core now, and if I do a good review, it will help the team even more. I promise you a win against Maryland the day after tomorrow! ”

Westbrook made such a promise, what else can Ben Holland continue to say? If it triggers discontent at the core, it's a big deal. Therefore, I can only endure the unhappiness of Xiao for the time being.

"Alright! I give you maximum freedom. Holland gave Westbrook a smile and turned to walk back to his office.

Holland's presence and departure didn't affect Xiao Xiao's training, and he had been silently trying to break through the dummies.

Led by Westbrook, he practiced for a morning. Then, I practiced alone for another afternoon.

When he returned home on his bicycle, he was already exhausted, and after finding something to fill his stomach, he climbed into bed and fell asleep.

When he fell asleep, everything changed. In the dream, he began to become active and energetic. But again, there were blockers in his dreams, and they were not dummies in the training gym, but living people.

Xiao Wan didn't know why this change had happened, something he had never experienced before.

However, after a night of hard work, he finally managed to get these guys.

His breakaway layups, modified by dreams, have become more and more concise and efficient, more and more in line with his body structure, and even incorporate crossover in some ways.

When I woke up the next day, I was still in good spirits. Since Ranny Kuhn hadn't woken up yet, he personally cooked him a bowl of fragrant noodles.

It's his forte.

In their village, his cooking skills are top-notch. Ten miles and eight towns, but whenever there is a red and white celebration, he will always be invited to take charge of the spoon, and it is worth a lot of money, other chefs take one hundred and fifteen, and he is at least two hundred.

When Lenny Kuhn ate the chic noodles, he was full of praise.

"Hey, man, you should be a chef. I swear you'll find your place in the best Chinese restaurant here. Your monthly salary can definitely exceed $10,000. ”

"If you had said so a week ago, I would have promised you. But now, I'm in love with basketball. Xiao shrugged his shoulders and actually refused the ** of 10,000 US dollars, and it looked effortless.

Ranny Kuhn was dumbfounded, and he began to wonder if this guy was crazy enough to give up his expertise to pursue an unsafe career?

Xiao Sa didn't say anything to him, and after eating the noodles and washing the dishes, he pedaled the mountain bike to the training gym.

When I came to the training hall, when I broke through with a dribble, I was as light as a swallow and all kinds of freedom. He deliberately moved all those dummies to the court, but he still came and went freely, and the layup was very easy.

When Westbrook and the others came to the court, they saw the slick dexterity.

All scared silly!

"God, are you really human? Did it really take you just one day to learn how to get to the basket? Kevin Love, who looked like a big white bear, came over and exclaimed in disbelief: "You are really a genius!" ”

Kevin Love's emotion represents everyone's surprise. Although Xiao Xiao's current breakthrough layup has not yet experienced the test of actual combat, the speed around the pile has been very mellow and swaying, and he can come and go freely among more than two dozen dummies, which seems to be at least the level of a high school basketball player.

"Now, you don't have anything to say about me being a genius, do you?" In the exclamation of everyone, Xiao Shi glared at Westbrook with a smug face.

Westbrook has been regarded as a genius since he was a child, and he is arrogant, but in the face of Xiao, a rookie caddy who has been pressing him since his appearance, he feels that his face is a little unbearable.

So, he took the ball to the side and jumped straight to the side...... Swish!

Basketball goes to the net!

"Dribbling and driving layups are just the basics of the basics, and the shooting is the deepest thing. If you can improve your shooting to 30 percent in one day, I'm convinced! Westbrook's face was flushed with agitation.

Seeing this, Xiao Sao smiled: "Okay, no problem." ”

After agreeing heartily, he whispered, "But... Can you teach me how to shoot first? ”

When Westbrook heard this, he glanced at him angrily, slapped a basketball and walked aside, and complained angrily: "You idiot, you can't even shoot and say that you are a basketball genius!" ”

Syllable!

Xiao Sao stretched out his hand and gave him a head to teach: "Stinky boy, I am your spiritual leader, how can you say that I am an idiot?" ”

Xiao Shao's sudden move frightened the players around him, and Xiao Xiao dared to touch the boss's head? Doesn't he know that on the court, only the boss touches the head of the younger brother, and there is no rule that the younger brother touches the boss's head? This guy is about to be taught a lesson!

Everyone thought Westbrook was going to turn around.

However, Westbrook's reaction took them by surprise.

Because, Westbrook didn't turn his face, but rolled his eyes and muttered: "Don't think that 2K is better than me, beef is better than me, and the truth knows more than me, so you can be my leader, and I am better than you." ”

Westbrook's rebuttal seemed to his younger brothers to be weak, and his white eyes were obviously cute.

Oh my God, has Westbrook been conquered by this new caddie?

All the players were amazed.

But Xiao Shi gave him another chestnut: "What nonsense, hurry up and teach me to shoot." ”

Westbrook, who was knocked twice, rolled his eyes cutely, and then silently picked up the basketball to teach Xiao Shi how to shoot: "Oh, hold the ball with your left hand, bend your elbow and wrist into two ninety degrees, then bend your knees, jump, shoot... Look, my shot isn't as smooth as silk! ”

Bang!

Before Westbrook's self-aggrandizement was finished, the basketball smashed into the basket and hit him in the face.

This made him very embarrassed, and then he said very unhappily: "Okay, it's your turn, you can vote for yourself!" ”

Bang!

The basketball thrown by Xiao Sao was even more outrageous, flying directly over the hoop and falling behind.

At this moment, Westbrook immediately felt the glory of victory, as if he had won the world war. He shook his fist twice and kept shouting, yes! yes！

Seeing him like this, Xiao Sao muttered a word of neurosis, picked up a basketball from the side and continued to shoot.

A whole day passed, and Xiao Xiao practiced shooting for a day, and the shooting rate was very low. But he paid the exhaustion that he couldn't lift with both hands. He threw about 2,000 baskets in 10 hours, which was horrifying.

So, exhausted, he asked Westbrook to send him home.

On the way home, Westbrook told him that the Bruins were going to play away and would not be in the arena for the next three days, so that Xiao Xiao could use those three days to train at the stadium.

Hearing the news, Xiao Swan was very happy. Finally, I don't have to squeeze into a corner, and I can finally run around the field unscrupulously.

But he didn't know that Ben Holland was angry with the staff at the stadium: "Stephen, you have to make sure that the door of the stadium can't be opened during the three days we're out to play away, understand?" ”

"Why?" Stephen was a little surprised.

"There's no why, it can't be opened anyway!" Ben Holland said toughly.

"But... Tomorrow it is possible that Mr. John Wooden will come over. ”

"What? Will he come over? Ben Holland frowned when he heard the name, he hesitated for a long time, but still told Stephen his true purpose: "Anyway, you can't let that nasty Asian kid come in for training, understand?" ”

"Oh, I see. Okay, I'll do my best to stop him! ”

"You just say it's a school rule, understand?"

"Understood!!"
