Chapter 22 Basketball Game
Thirty minutes later, Hongtu lay on the bed and sorted out the knowledge in his head. There is no need for Hongtu to deliberately recall, when thinking of what kind of knowledge and technology, just like instinct, Hongtu knows how to do it, how to do it best and fastest to smelt special steel and biosteel. Now Hongtu only feels that the brain is a little swollen, which is the sequelae of the data transmission of knowledge and technology from brain domain development and synthetic steel.
Another hour had passed, and it was already past eight o'clock. The stars and moon outside the window have come out, and night has long fallen. Hong Tu changed the sheets and pillows, and entered today's basketball training in the sea of consciousness. In the virtual space, Hongtu began his own basketball skills training.
In the first three months, Hongtu has been doing basic basketball skills training in the virtual space, that is, dribbling, passing, layups, shooting, etc. These basic trainings Hong Tu has completed hundreds of thousands of times each, and some of the movements were not in place at the beginning, and under Fuwa's electric shock soul punishment, Hong Tu conscientiously completed the tasks assigned to him by Fuwa. Later, there were fewer and fewer irregular movements made by Hongtu during training, and Fuwa's punishment to Hongtu became lighter and lighter. Until Hong Tu did not get any punishment, Hong Tu's basketball skills also improved rapidly.
Three months later, in the virtual space, Hong Tu has been recognized by Fuwa and can play basketball games, but Hong Tu has always remembered Kobe's contempt for his basketball skills. Finally able to play, Hongtu chose four teammates to play the full court with Kobe Bryant's Lakers.
On the basketball court in the virtual training space, countless spectators cheered on the seats next to the basketball court. Although Hong Tu knew that these audiences were virtual, Hong Tu still felt his blood boiling. Now that the Lakers have played, the audience next to him cheered loudly, and Kobe Bryant stretched out another middle finger at Hong Tu, his eyes were very contemptuous of Hong Tu.
Seeing Kobe's eyes, Hong Tu still felt angry. Although Kobe Bryant is a fictitious character, that look of contempt makes Hong Tu feel a great insult.
When Hongtu and the others walked onto the basketball court, there was a chorus of boos from the audience, and some spectators insulted Hongtu and his basketball players. Hearing the boos, Hongtu felt very nervous and angry, and his whole face turned black. At the beginning of the game, Hong Tu was still a little uncomfortable, constantly making mistakes and mistakes, sometimes passing the ball to the wrong person, and passing the basketball to the enemy player. Sometimes a layup throws the basketball away. When shooting, many times it is a three-no-stick, and the basketball is thrown under the basketball frame.
One mistake after another, one failure after another. Hongtu is making progress in continuous mistakes, although the progress is not very obvious, but Hongtu is still improving. Losing again and again, Hong Tu was not discouraged, constantly thinking about what he went wrong and constantly improving.
More than 20 days passed, and for 20 days, Hongtu kept playing against Kobe's Lakers and lost for more than 20 days. Finally, Hong Tu narrowly beat the Lakers for the first time today. Looking at the score of the victory, Hong Tu was excited, he had been losing for more than 20 days, and now that he had finally won once, Hong Tu finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Hong Tu looked at Kobe Bryant on the basketball court, Kobe Bryant was not annoyed by losing, and found that Hong Tu looked at him, and Kobe gave Hong Tu a thumbs up for the first time.
At this time, Hong Tu found that Kobe Bryant was not so hateful. At least for Hongtu, who can win his own ball, Kobe Bryant began to admire a little. In the next two months, at the beginning, Hongtu and the Lakers won more and lost more and lost less, and then won more and lost less, until finally Hongtu won 100% of the basketball game with the Lakers.
In the cheers of the audience, the scene of the basketball court turned into a basketball hoop, the setting sun hung in the sky, and only Hong Tu and Kobe Bryant were left around, and there was no spectator. In the virtual space, this is the final showdown between Hong Tu and Kobe Bryant is about to begin. Bryant walked over, lightly hammered his fist on Hontu's chest, and then extended his thumb.
"Hong, your basketball skills have improved a lot and quickly, and in just a few months, your basketball skills are on par with mine. But this time we will do my best. Bryant grinned.
"Me too. I will do my best to defeat you in order to verify the results of my months of hard training. Hong Tu said very solemnly, because so far Hong Tu is not absolutely sure of defeating Kobe. Although in the matchup with the Lakers, Hong Tu is now capable of beating Kobe's Lakers. But compared with Kobe, Hongtu's current basketball skills are not able to beat Kobe Bryant in the individual ability matchup.
The matchup now is a personal basketball competition between Hong Tu and Kobe, and this battle will be extremely exciting, although the decision of the bullfight is only three balls.
Hong Tu slapped the basketball and passed it to Kobe, who in turn passed it back to Hong Tu. Hong Tu dribbled the ball and prepared to break through the inside line and score a layup, but Kobe Bryant defended Hong Tu strictly and did not give Hong Tu the slightest chance to break through. Hongtu tried several times on the pitch with the ball, but did not succeed in breaking through. Hong Tu dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, and Kobe Bryant stared at Hong Tu with his hands outstretched. There was no way, Hong Tu made a feint in order to break through. Hong Tu flashed to the left with the basketball and quickly returned to the right, hoping that the feint would hide from Kobe. Sure enough, Kobe's body also moved to the left, and his hands were open. At this time, Hongtu thought that Kobe Bryant had been deceived by his feints, and Hongtu ran over from the right with the ball.
However, just as Hongtu broke through from the right with the ball, Kobe's body was on the left, but his hands were already open. Hong Tu was defenseless against Kobe, and Bryant's left hand hit the basketball. The basketball was knocked out, and Hongtu was surprised, so it was okay. Hongtu wanted to go back and snatch the basketball back, but it was too late to turn his back to the basketball and turn around to grab the ball.
Bryant snatched the basketball and then threw a beautiful hollow three-pointer from beyond the three-point line. At this time, Hongtu didn't have time to defend and interfere with Kobe's projection, so this three-pointer went in. Kobe Bryant waved his fist excitedly and looked at Hong Tu. Hong Tu looked annoyed. Although the first goal was lost, Hongtu had a good mentality and didn't care too much, and the next ball couldn't let Kobe Bryant score like this.
The second ball started, Kobe Bryant dribbled around outside the three-point line, Hong Xiang stared at Kobe Bryant just like Kobe defending himself, and did not give Kobe any chance to break through. Bryant spun a few laps outside the three-point line and didn't have a chance to break through and get inside. Bryant came to the outside of the three-point line and was ready to shoot. Seeing this, Hong Tu immediately jumped up, raised his hands high, and did not block Kobe's shot. But under Hongtu's interference, Kobe Bryant's three-point shot did not score and was shot on the basket.
Grabbing the basketball that popped off the basket in his hand, Hongtu dribbled the ball to the three-point line. Kobe Bryant stared at Hong Tu and didn't give Hong Tu a chance to break through. Hongtu dribbled the ball, thought about it, and did a few fancy dribbles with the basketball. Keep dribbling the basketball to your back and then to your right hand. Kobe Bryant stared at Hong Tu, watching Hong Tu dribble, I don't know what Hong Tu means by dribbling like this, is it to show off his dribbling skills.
Suddenly, Hongtu threw the basketball from behind his back with his left hand, and the basketball flew over Kobe's shoulder. Bryant didn't notice that the basketball had flown over and was still staring at Hongtu. Hongtu flashed and ran past Kobe's right. Hong Tu caught up with the basketball and went straight to the basket with the basket. At this time, Kobe Bryant reacted, but it was too late, and Kobe Bryant couldn't catch up with Hongtu now. Hong Tu grabbed the basketball with one hand, jumped up, and slammed a one-handed dunk at the basket. Basketball went in, and now Hongtu and Kobe Bryant are 1-1, and now it's the last ball that decides the outcome of the game.
The last ball, Hontu serves. After Kobe Bryant passed the basketball back, Hong Tu took the basketball and prepared to break through the inside, Kobe's defense is not passable by ordinary people. Hong Tu almost broke through several times, but under Kobe's defense, he didn't succeed. Fortunately, basketball is still by Hongtu's side, and he is still attacking and standing on the initiative.
He tried to break through the inside line a few more times, but Hongtu still didn't succeed. After thinking about it, Hong Tu thought of a way, hoping to succeed. Hong Tu accelerated the dribble with the basketball and prepared to attack the interior with the basketball. Bryant also picked up the pace, hoping that with his own interference, Hongtu's layup should not be successful. But when Hongtu rushed to the free throw line, Hongtu's body froze, and then he jumped and shot. Although Kobe Bryant sped up, Hong Tu's quick jump shot was not a surprise to Kobe. So Kobe Bryant also jumped along, waving his hands to prepare for a big block.
But just as Kobe's hands were about to hit the basketball in Hongtu's hands, Hongtu's body leaned back and then shot. Bryant's hands didn't reach the basketball, and Bryant thought that Hong Tu might make a quick jump shot, but he didn't expect Hong Tu to return a quick backward jump shot. The quick jump shot is already a difficult action for the average person, let alone a quick backward jump shot. Although many stars in the NBA can make quick step-back jumpers, Kobe Bryant didn't expect that in a few months, Hong Tu would be able to make such difficult moves.
The ball went in, and Hong Tu rushed to Kobe Bryant excitedly and hugged Kobe. Hong Tu finally won Kobe, but it also meant that Hong Tu's basketball training was over. When Hongtu let go of Kobe, Kobe spoke a word in authentic Chinese.
"Congratulations, you've won. Bryant gave another thumbs up to Hongtu. Of course, Kobe Bryant in the real world doesn't know Chinese, but this is in a virtual training space. So it's not surprising that the virtual Kobe Bryant knows Chinese.
Hong Tu finally defeated basketball superstar Kobe Bryant after ten months in the virtual space. By the time Hong Tu calmed down and was excited about the victory, Kobe and the basketball court were gone.
