Half past five in the morning.

Basketball court in the neighborhood next door.

A young man in white casual short sleeves is holding a battered basketball, and he is practicing shooting alone.

He has a refreshing short hair, the eyes under the double eyelids are smart and firm, the high nose bridge makes his facial features three-dimensional, but the ears are slightly larger, and the body is thin, but fortunately, he usually keeps moving, and there are still visible muscles on his body.

At this time, Wei Xiao ended the college entrance examination a month ago, and this is a summer vacation where he can have fun.

But what makes him happy is not that he can stay up all night, but that he can get up early every day to practice. He can also do this when he goes to school, but getting up too early to exercise will inevitably consume energy, and he is afraid that he will be listless when he goes to class, which will affect his homework. He can still distinguish the priorities of things, school is still based on learning, no matter how much he loves basketball, he is not a sports student after all. Besides, the master of basketball can have passers-by who can abuse him with a casual catch on the field, and reason tells him not to do anything about the dream of being a basketball star, and read the book well first.

Now he has read the book well, and he did well in the college entrance examination. Finally, I can devote all my time to basketball.

He is extremely looking forward to the life of the university, there must be a basketball game in the university, and even a chance to enter the school team. He didn't want to play professionally at all, but being able to have a varsity career was the memory he wanted to have the most in his life.

Thinking that when you are old, any diploma is fake, and only the memory worth looking back on is a person's eternity.

The school team can't do it, but if you have a college team, it's okay.

For this reason, he decided to work hard this summer. There will definitely be many strong people in the university, and he must be promoted to at least one level.

Physical fitness must be better, ball control must be more stable, there must be more tricks to hold the ball with the back, shooting can not only be fixed-point shooting, emergency stopping, shooting in motion, and dry pull-up jump shots as a housekeeping skill, not just occasionally amazing, but also really as a killer feature.

On this day, he got up at 4 o'clock in the morning, and when he came to the stadium, it was still pitch black, so he could only use the street lights outside the stadium to warm up and do physical training first.

When he was in junior high school, he watched the school team train, and at the beginning, the coach would always let the players run a few laps first, and basically trained without the ball first.

So it wasn't until five o'clock that he picked up the basketball and started dribbling, going to the basket, shooting.

Originally, he wanted to strengthen his long-range jumper, mid-range jumper, and even backwards, he could have a good shooting rate, but the distance was a little farther, close to the three-point line, even if no one guarded, his shooting percentage still dropped significantly.

Not long after he started practicing, someone behind him said to him, "Young man, you played well." ”

Wei Xiao, who was taken aback, looked back and was immediately taken aback for the second time.

In front of him was a bald-headed black man, wearing a black brand-name sportswear, and he should be two meters tall, and he looked like he was very good at playing.

Before the day was fully bright, a black man appeared in the stadium, and he could speak Chinese, which was really weird. This community stadium has never been visited by foreigners, could it be a foreign coach who just moved in or something?

But since he came to play, why didn't he bring the ball himself?

Maybe I saw someone playing, so I came here.

"I'm just having fun."

Wei Xiao was still stunned, he just said it casually.

"In my opinion, people who get up at 4 a.m. to train don't look like they're just having fun." The black man said with a smile.

Wei Xiao was even more awe-inspiring, how did he know that he got up at four o'clock in the morning?

"Big brother, are you?" He couldn't help but wonder, "Moved here recently?" ”

The black man shook his head and said, "I may not be from your world, but where there is basketball, there will be me." ”

"Huh?" Wei Xiao was completely frightened.

"I see you've been training every day for a month." The black man said, "Your passion for basketball is extraordinary." ”

"Well, I thought about coming early, there was no one in the stadium. You can feel at ease. ”

"How's it going to be a show?"

"Then I'm sure I won't be able to beat you."

"If you're afraid of losing, don't play. But it's true that you can't beat me. ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of losing. It's just, let's be honest. ”

"I don't go into the three-second zone, I can't go in both offense and defense, and I play three balls, how about it."

Seeing that the other party's attitude was more friendly and the rules were more reasonable, Wei Xiao agreed to fight. Maybe I can ask this big black brother for a few tricks later, maybe it will be much more useful than continuing to practice blindly.

The black man let Wei Shaw kick off first.

Wei Xiao dribbled at the three-point line at the top of the arc, and when he saw that the black man was not guarded, he directly took two steps forward, and stepping on the three-point line was a dry pull.

I practiced for a while just now, and he was feeling it.

There is no suspense, handsome hits.

"Pretty."

The black man was generous and went to pick up the ball and continue.

But Wei Xiao knew very well in his heart that this ball was deliberately put to him by the black man.

In the second goal, Wei Xiao continued to attack.

This time the black man stepped forward a little and raised his hand in a standard defensive stance. Wei Xiao knew that if he came to pull it out again, even if he didn't get capped, he would definitely be disturbed.

The long-range jumper has not really been practiced yet, and it is still too early to really pull up against a two-meter-tall opponent.

So he chose to dribble and look for breakthrough opportunities first.

Blacks can't score in the three-second zone, and they just need to break through to score.

However, the black man's lateral speed turned into an iron wall in front of Wei Xiao's eyes, and it was definitely not so simple to break through.

Even so, Wei Xiao still had to change direction several times in a row, and he was ready to lift his gun and enter the three-second zone.

He knows that the opponent will definitely focus on the breakthrough, so he must have the threat of a breakthrough.

Otherwise, if the opponent wants to lock up the shot, he really has no chance.

Taking advantage of the gap with the black man to open up briefly, Wei Xiao, who was on the right side of the court, slapped the ball to the ground;

Closing the ball, followed by a step back.

Lean back and offer your hand.

Boom!

The basketball hits the hoop and bounces high.

With a bang, a surprise entered the net.

"Luck, luck."

Wei Xiao said that he was modest, and indeed there was a slight element of luck in this ball. He dribbled too much and the rhythm was a bit forced.

The black man didn't say anything, just handed the ball to Wei Xiao again.

Wei Xiao didn't expect that he could lead by two goals.

Still immersed in the image of the jumper that had just hit the back-up jumper, as soon as he received the ball, the black man clung to him.

Compared with the relative ease of the first two goals, Wei Xiao was a little uncomfortable when he was suddenly pressed to defend so seriously.

He never encountered this level of defense when he was playing wild ball at its most intense.

He could only hold the ball tightly, and he didn't even have a chance to dribble.
