Chapter 35: 3v3 Selection
Fang Wei slept well that night, and got up early the next day, after confirming that Yuan Bao would not be late, Fang Wei got up to wash, filled out the basketball interim coach application form, and packed up his things.
He plans to go to Wukesong Stadium in the morning and then go to the auto repair and beauty company in the afternoon.
Fang Wei put the equipment for playing in a large backpack and went out on his back.
I bought eight steamed buns and a cup of millet porridge in the breakfast shop at the entrance of the alley, Fang Wei ate while walking, and ate all of them when he walked to the Changchunqiao subway station, took Line 10 to Gongzhufen and transferred to Line 1, and arrived at Wukesong in 2 stops.
The time was just eight o'clock, and the gymnasium had not yet opened, but there were already many basketball enthusiasts gathered in the sports park on the side, although it was very cold outside, but many people had already begun to exercise.
Fang Wei was stretching in the park while watching the wild ball, the level of the field players was uneven, and it was easy to get injured, Fang Wei did not participate.
After Fang Wei's full activity opened, the gymnasium opened, and the recruitment location of the basketball dream training camp was in the multi-functional training hall on the south side of the venue, and many adults who came to apply for coaches and basketball teenagers who were ready to participate in the training camp gathered early in the morning.
When Fang Wei entered the hall, he met Ren Guoqiang, a sophomore who was also a member of the school basketball team, who was a small forward in the team, 193cm tall and had a simple peasant face.
He has good physical fitness, likes confrontation, rough skills, but has a resolute style of play, has no formal basketball education in middle school, and relies on the skills he learned from watching the NBA and CBA, which is stronger than Ye Luzi, and his importance in the school team is not as good as Fang Wei.
Although Fang Wei looks thin, he has solid basic skills, low body fat, strong muscles, and fast speed, but he is slightly less confrontational, but he has a good three-point hand, a fixed-point shooting rate of more than 90%, and a sports battle of more than 33%, which is considered to be at the upper level in CUBA.
Of course, both of them are still only in the team squad at the current level, and neither has really played.
The two usually don't communicate much in the team, and their friendship is average, but it was very unexpected to meet each other today, and the two were very warm.
"Brother Ren, why didn't you go back to your hometown after the holiday?"
"Fang Wei, my hometown is in the countryside of southern Henan, I don't have the Internet at home when I go back, and I can't afford the traffic, it's very boring to stay at home, relatives and friends are playing cards and drinking wine in winter, and you don't participate and despise you.
So I hate going back, so it's better to stay in the imperial capital to work, earn a little money to reduce the burden on the family, and go back before the New Year. ”
The conditions of Ren Guoqiang's family are worse than Fang Wei's, and Fang Wei has met him and his fellow villagers riding a tricycle to deliver bottled water to the dormitories of international students and faculty dormitories.
Fang Wei asked with concern: "The school dormitory is not allowed to live in the winter vacation, where do you live?"
"I shared a room with a few fellow villagers, 240 yuan a month for a bed, and I made do with it. Anyway, I was looking for work outside during the day, and I just went back at night to sleep. ”
The staff of the basketball training camp have arrived in the basketball training hall, they have collected the resumes and registration forms of the applicants, and then arranged a locker room for everyone, and gathered the children who signed up for the training camp to the other side of the training hall to start filling in the registration materials.
Fang Wei took the key to the locker cabinet in the locker room, changed the school basketball jersey and other protective equipment, and deliberately took off the seagull and put it in a hidden pocket in the backpack so as not to lose it.
Ren Guoqiang was more convenient, he took off his cotton clothes and warm pants, stuffed them into a non-woven bag and threw them into the cabinet, he was directly wearing the basketball uniform of the school team, without any protective gear, and felt troublesome.
Nearly 30 people interviewed for interim coaches today, some warmed up on the sidelines, some had already started dribbling drills, and some tried their hand at shooting to see if the hoops were friendly.
Fang Wei and Ren Guoqiang trotted into the arena and greeted these unknown fellow travelers politely.
People who like to play basketball are generally more cheerful and optimistic, and they are easier to get along with, and when they saw Fang Wei wearing professional equipment, someone immediately passed the ball to him.
Fang Wei was just over the halfway line and more than two meters away from the three-point line at this time, because he had already warmed up before, he dribbled the ball and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.
The basketball crosses a graceful curve and hollows into the basket.
Cheers and applause immediately erupted from the sidelines, and the rise of the Splash Brothers in the past two years has led the three-point trend in the basketball world, especially for short outside players or basketball enthusiasts who like to shoot three-pointers.
Fang Wei's three-point shot is very good, the jump is very high, the shooting point is also high, the action is fast, standard, and elegant, and he is a left-handed player, which naturally ushered in a lot of applause.
Fang Wei shook his left hand vigorously, could it be that because of wearing the ring of Alan Bell, his shooting percentage has improved? In the past, he only had a shooting rate of 25% at most in such long-distance three-point shooting.
Fang Wei wanted to try again, and he ran to the other side of the three-point line to wait for the ball.
Ren Guoqiang just grabbed a rebound, turned around and jumped with two steps, and a defender nearly two meters tall appeared in front of him, jumping higher than him, he had to turn the shot into a pass, and the ball passed through the air like a cannonball, and accurately fell into the hands of the guard on the left side of the three-point line.
Fang Wei raised his hand this time and shot, "Boom~", another hollow three points.
Fang Wei raised his arms and shouted, the ring really did not disappoint him, and obviously improved his hit rate.
Fang Wei's two consecutive three-point hollow baskets immediately attracted the attention of other applicants, thinking that a great god had come today, so they came over to greet each other warmly and introduce each other.
At this time, six or seven coaches came to the basketball dream training camp, gathered all the applicants together, and announced that this morning's recruitment will be mainly based on 3v3 confrontation selection.
A total of 27 people applied for interim coaches, the oldest was 41 years old, and the youngest was Fang Wei, 18 years and 17 days old, and the organizers asked everyone to divide into eight teams for group confrontation.
Three of the more famous players are used as substitutes, and if someone is injured, they are added, but everyone knows that these three people basically have a quota for coaching.
The organizers gave each team 10 minutes to form a team and discuss tactics, and many people came in groups and quickly formed a team.
Fang Wei and Ren Guoqiang are naturally a team, and it took half a day to pull a 175cm small player Zhang Tao from the lone person to join, he is a junior player in CUBA, another university in the imperial capital, playing point guard, fast speed, and broad vision.
After the draw, the eight teams have their own opponents, the organizer announced that the competition will only be played in two rounds, eight into four, four into two, the top two teams will be hired, the other teams need to combine the performance on the field plus interviews, in order to decide whether to retain.
There are two full basketball courts in the training hall, and each time two sets of games are played at the same time, and the referees, timekeepers and scorekeepers are all from the organizers.
As soon as the selection policy was announced, everyone was gearing up, and it didn't matter to many people whether they could recruit or not, but it was a rare opportunity to compete with so many masters, and no one wanted to lose their share here.
The referee announced the rules of the 3v3 competition to the contestants:
The preliminaries are divided into the first half and the second half, with 10 minutes each in the first and second halves and 20 minutes for the whole game.
Penalties and substitutions are not stopped, the table is suspended for the last 2 minutes of the match (including after the goal is scored and during the service period), and the halftime break is 5 minutes.
The final is a best-of-three format, with the first team to score 21 points in each game winning, and the team that wins two games first.
Free throws count as 1 point, 2 points from inside the three-point line, and 3 points from beyond the three-point line.
This is the standard 3v3 rule, and everyone has no objections, and Fang Wei and they are scheduled to play on the second court.
The opponent is three players with a height of more than 190cm, and the height should be a combination of small forwards or swing guards, and such a high average height is not easy to deal with.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides choose their serve in the form of a coin toss, and the service is exchanged at the beginning of the second quarter.
Fang Wei was lucky to draw the right to serve, Zhang Tao served after the middle line, Ren Guoqiang stuck to the three-point line, received the ball with his back to the opponent, carried it with his body, and found that the opponent's strength was not as good as his own, and immediately made a feint to move to the right to get rid of, and when the opposing player was defended, he immediately turned around and passed the ball to the left to the square guard who had run to the bottom corner of the three-point line.
Fang Wei ignored the opposing defender and jumped, raised his hand for a high-arc three-pointer, and the basketball slid out of a high arc and landed accurately.
The other 5 players on the field plus the referee were stunned, this offensive routine was too simple, and the efficiency was too high, and an attack was completed in 2.1 seconds.
The faces of the three players on the other side were obviously not good-looking, and when they came up, they were blinded by such a difficult three-point score from the opponent.
The opponent returned to the middle line to serve, and the basketball conducted four or five times, and after pulling away the defense on Fang Wei's side, the opponent used his height advantage to eat Zhang Tao alone, and easily scored two points under the basket, which was still colored.
The two sides went back and forth, and the offensive efficiency was extremely high for four rounds, and the shooting rate was 100%.
Fang Wei covered his team's four three-pointers, Ren Guoqiang and Zhang Tao did not score, and the opponent's three players each scored at least one goal.
The score became 12:8, while the score of the other game was only 5:4, Fang Wei's game attracted most people's attention, and the big boss of the organizer and a foreign consultant also appeared next to the venue where Fang Wei and they played.
The white expatriate consultant, who was in his forties and 190 cm tall, was very concerned about the accurate three-point shots of the guard, and from time to time whispered something to the middle-aged man who looked like the boss next to him.
It was the backbacker's turn to serve, and the opposing team's three players exchanged glances with each other, and they needed to change their strategy and focus on defending the sideback's scoring point.
Sure enough, after Zhang Tao sent the ball out, the player who was in charge of marking him directly chose to wrap Fang Wei, and let go of Zhang Tao, Zhang Tao quickly went to the bottom, there was no defender beside him, and Fang Wei and the two players on the other side were entangled and raised their eyes to see Zhang Tao's position.
The third player of the opposing team, who was originally entangled with Ren Guoqiang on the side of the free throw line in the three-second zone, saw Fang Wei's eyes, and immediately gave up the entanglement and rushed straight to the right side of the basket where Zhang Tao was.
Fang Wei flicked his wrist when passing the ball, and the ball turned at the moment of shooting and flew towards Ren Guoqiang, who hit the basket after receiving the ball and got up to dunk violently.
Of course, this is just a reluctant dunk, with his height and jump height, it is not easy to complete the dunk action.
But the dunk immediately drew cheers from the children on the sidelines who had already filled out the registration form.
"This uncle is so good, he can dunk!"
"Well, the handsome brother on their team is even better, he scored 4 three-pointers in a row just now, just like Curry!"
"Mm-hmm, I see, I'm going to learn to play from my uncle on this team. ”
“......”
For a while, there was a sound of chatter from the field, which made Fang Wei's opponents look ugly.
The coach blew the whistle directly to keep the children watching the game quiet and not affect the game.
The children bowed politely and admitted their mistakes, and the adults naturally blamed them again.
