424 Dusk and sweat

Japan's big defeat is not an unacceptable thing for Japanese fans.

After all, the opponent is the Dragon Country, and it is still the Dragon Country national team with both Yao Ming and Lin Dong.

These are two of Asia's biggest Buddhas, and their fame in this year's NBA Finals tiebreaker has already spread to every corner of the world basketball world.

One is now one of the three major centers in the NBA along with O'Neal and Duncan, and even the Mavericks' Nowitzki and other giants are ranked behind.

The other has just beaten the new king of the basketball god by breaking various historical records in the NBA Finals.

Not to mention in Asia, even if you look at the NBA and even the entire world basketball world, Lin Dong is now recognized as one of the strongest.

Of course, it's too early to say he's the god of basketball.

To become a god, it takes more than just a flash in the pan.

No matter how good you are in a season, you have to be an evergreen in continuity, and you have to get some long-term and lasting stats and accolades before you can talk about becoming the new god of basketball.

For example, get a DPOY first? Win 10 scoring titles? Take 10 of the best bursts?

Or at least a four-game winning streak to prove that you have the continued dominance to be as good as Michael Jordan?

Without that, you're a supernova at best, and even if you outshine the sun at a moment, but only as short as a meteor, you'll never be a basketball god.

However, the strength is here, the combination of Lin Dong and Yao Ming, frankly speaking, Japanese fans have thought about the Japanese national team at most to last for half a time.

Not to mention adding Yao's name, even if there is only one Lin Dong, the Japanese have already been convinced.

From the 2.7 billion strongest man to the 6 billion strongest man today, from the former king of the Dragon Empire to the current king of the world, Japanese fans have long experienced despair and admiration again and again when facing Lin Dong.

It has long been from the unhappiness and confrontation at the beginning to the process of acceptance and worship now.

Win? That's unimaginable.

But that doesn't stop them from complaining.

It's not okay to complain about Sakuragi Hanamichi, now Sakuragi is already a national idol in Japan, although teasing Lin Dong in the game caused Japan to lose very badly, but the two of them were teammates, and the topic of a little ridicule is something to talk about.

The real upset of the Japanese fans is another guy who did not return to the team......

The time goes back about a month from the finals in Japan.

Downtown Seattle.

In a lively downtown open-air court, an Asian is dominating a half court, and is doing shooting training alone.

It was nearly dusk, and a few blacks in the other half had finished their game, wiping their sweat and preparing to pack their things and go home.

One of the black men glanced at the Asian, laughed and lowered his voice and said, "That Asian is well-dressed, I see he has been here for several days, and he has been practicing shooting all day and all day, don't Asians love to work?" This guy doesn't have to work, he must be rich, or ...... Scare scare him? Let him pay some protection money or stadium fees or whatever, this stadium used to be played by us! ”

"Don't mess with him unless you want to die." Another tall black man interrupted his companion's evil thoughts: "That Asian plays here, and it was licensed by the Winchester brothers. ”

"The one at the Black Forest Bar?" The companion was taken aback: "How can this Asian know them?" ”

"He used to go to Lakeside High School, and he was a classmate of Tony, so I heard that he had a good relationship."

"The sheriff's son? Lakeside High School? Wow, doesn't he still know Lin? The companion was speechless, couldn't help but glance at the other side, and said with great interest: "Then if you ask him to play with him next time, maybe there will be a chance to meet Lin......"

The tall man laughed: "Come on, that Asian has been in the NBA, play with him, unless you want to be abused, and besides, he is not interested in playing with our level." ”

The companion was stunned and turned his head to look in the direction of Rukawa Kaede.

I saw that the other party just got up and made a 3-point shot that looked quite standard, but it was a pity that it was ......

Syllable!

The basketball smashed into the frame again.

The companion was speechless: "I don't think he has scored three points in this empty position, and the NBA is at this level...... Then I can go to the NBA too! ”

"Hahaha, if you have the ability, you can sign up for the draft and try it, how simple it is." The tall man had already packed his things and said with a smile, "Let's go!" ”

The chatter of a few black men did not disrupt the rhythm of Rukawa Kaede's training.

The basketball smashed into the front of the basket and bounced back, just back into his hands.

At the moment of receiving the ball, the impact of the basketball touched the severed finger, and there was a faint pain.

His severed finger had already scabbed over and the stitches had been removed.

But just like many people who have experienced bone injuries, when they encounter wind, rain or touch the injury, there will always be a dull pain, which cannot be eradicated in a lifetime.

The doctor has said that he has said several times, so that no matter what he wants to do, it is best to wait for a month or two later, which can maximize the recovery of the severed finger, just like a woman's confinement, and it will be less painful in the future, not worse than these few days.

But first, Rukawa Kaede really can't wait for even a day, and as long as he sits down every day, he feels like he is sitting on pins and needles.

Second, while the finger is severed, it also brings Rukawa Kaede a very unique feeling......

At this point, the basketball is in hand, the knees are bent, the eyes are forward, and then it is quite standard to get up, raise your hands, and shoot.

Under normal circumstances, you should avoid touching the basketball at this time, because when the severed finger touches the basketball, the faint pain at that moment will affect people's hand feel and judgment, and will distract you.

But Rukawa Kaede deliberately used the severed finger as the last 'touch point' before the basketball left his hand at the moment of throwing the ball.

The tingling sensation at that moment made Rukawa Kaede frown slightly.

Is the force a little too high, or is it in the wrong direction?

Really.

Swish!

The basketball didn't hit the front of the basket this time, but just got into the basket steadily.

Rukawa Kaede frowned and walked over to pick up the basketball, his mind constantly recalling the details just now and the stinging sensation at the severed finger.

Not only is the force a little bigger, but the angle of the finger force is not right...... Don't look at it, because he's aiming at the front of the basket.

After all, this is not a professional training ground, and I don't have the money to hire a trainer or the like, no one picks up the ball, so that the basketball is smashed back from the front of the basket, which can save the time to pick up the ball when shooting at a fixed point, and can make yourself shoot at least 200 more balls a day.

As for the ball......

He kept recalling the feeling and walked back to the three-point line.

The same posture and the same projection as just now, the same broken finger is used as the last bit of force support before the basketball leaves the hand.

This time there was no stinging, but a slight numbness.

This is the normal state, which proves that there is no problem with the power and posture at the moment of pitching.

That's how it feels!

Syllable!

The basketball smashed steadily into the front of the basket and bounced back.

The basketball bounces off quickly.

It feels like it's almost there......

Rukawa Kaede took a deep breath, this time he didn't swallow as slowly as before.

After receiving the basketball that bounced back on the spot, he suddenly dribbled the ball under his crotch, followed by a circle in the same place, and then jumped high facing the basket.

His movements were so fast that there was no pause in the middle, and even so fast that he didn't even have time to look at the frame.

In his year at the Bobcats, the clearest thing he learned was NBA-level defense.

Three-point accuracy? Everyone in the NBA has accurate 3 points, and if you really want to shoot in the open position without considering psychological pressure and other factors, most players in the NBA can achieve more than 80 out of 100, but if you really want to go to the court, these people can reach a 35% three-point shooting rate is already very good.

To be a true marksman in the NBA, you have to be on track and do another thing, either strong enough or ...... You'll have to be fast enough!

I don't want to talk about confrontation with my own body, so only if I do it fast enough, can I make all defenders at a loss.

This was very difficult for him to do in the past, even if he opened the zone to make himself accurate enough, it would still be covered if he was not fast enough.

But now......

At this time, everything in the action is based on the memory of the body, there is no adjustment at all, and there is not even aiming at the frame at all, but only seeing the direction of the frame, and even the body is not completely aimed at the direction of the basket, and the basketball has already come out of the hand.

The same little finger as the last point of support, no stinging, just a slight numbness.

And it is this slight numbness that seems to give Rukawa Kaede an explicit code, and it also seems to give this whole set of actions a soul.

The feeling of a severed finger seems to have become a 'corrector' when he shoots!

Swish!

The basketball is firmly in the net!

Rukawa Kaede's face was expressionless, as early as when the basketball was out of his hand, he rushed to the basket to copy the ball that had just bounced off the ground in front of him, and then rushed to the three-point baseline on the left side as fast as possible.

It's a completely different angle than just now, and it's still in the process of moving rapidly.

Dash, close the ball, turn around, pull dry!

Coherent and swift movements, a slight numbness at the broken finger.

Swish!

The basketball went into the net again, and Rukawa Kaede had already rushed to the basket to pick up the ball, and ran towards the right three-point corner again.

That's how it feels! It's getting more and more sophisticated!

Turning around again, the moment the broken finger was slightly numb when he threw the ball, a faint smile flashed at the corner of Rukawa Kaede's mouth.

Swish!

Again!

- And 487 balls!

Whew, whew, whew......

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Bang bang bang......

Every numb is a success, and every sting is also a lesson and correction! Correcting his wrong posture all the time, and even making it instinctive!

Dusk and the court, basketball and sweat, and the figure that keeps sprinting back and forth, everything seems to have been intertwined.

…… A small grass grew out of the pile of debris that had been burned to ashes by the wildfire.

Some people may only see a kind of loneliness, the embarrassment and squalor of the weeds hidden by the pile of ashes.

But when some people see this picture, they think of the filthy ashes turned into nutrients, helping the weeds to grow stubbornly and beautifully!

……………………

Two months of national team experience.

Yao Ming belongs to the absolute big brother role in this national team and is also the captain.

But the absolute core of the team is Lin Dong, the unlimited right to fire and the role and status of the coach on the field, so that Lin Dong's status in the national team is still firmly over Yao Ming.

It's something that there is little disagreement from top to bottom, from the top to the coaches to the players.

And this Asian Championships, the unlimited firing right started by Lin Dong, and after achieving an absolute advantage, some so-called 'unreasonable' shots that he acquiesced and approved, and even encouraged, have also become a major feature of Dragon Country Basketball in the Asian Championships.

In the past, even Yao Ming in the national team did not have the so-called unlimited firing right.

In Dragon Country, whether it is basketball or football, more attention is paid to the so-called rationality.

You have to cooperate, you have to execute tactics, you shouldn't throw the ball, even if you throw it, it will only be a stinking scolding from the coach.

To a certain extent, this makes Dragon Country basketball more team-oriented, cooperative, and so-called professional.

Lin Dong also thought so in the past, after all, he was also a product of the basketball system of the Dragon Kingdom, but after this year's NBA experience, this concept has completely changed.

The so-called reasonableness and so-called maturity are actually stifling the creativity of the players themselves to the greatest extent.

The coach is the general, the player is the soldier, the court is like a battlefield, you have to do what you want, this is not wrong in theory, and the strong teams coached by some famous coaches in the NBA are also in this mode.

But the problem is that the order is wrong.

You've got to train first!

You have to let your soldiers have their own thoughts, enough creativity and imagination, and then talk about obedience and obedience on that basis, otherwise you will not be able to deal with many complex situations on the field with just a bunch of machines, and you will not be able to improve the real individual combat ability at all.

The so-called looking at the mountain is the mountain, looking at the water is the water, to see the mountain is not the mountain, to see the water is not the water, and finally return to the realm of seeing the mountain is the mountain.

NBA team basketball like the Suns and Spurs has really reached the third step, while the so-called team basketball of Dragon Country Basketball is just a toddler in Handan and is still in the first stage.

Lin Dong wants to reverse such a concept, and it is obviously unrealistic to force him to preach, and it is impossible to say that he can move the Dragon Basketball Association and the basketball seniors whose concepts have been deeply rooted and have achieved great success in Asia.

Then I can only do my best to let people such as Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian enjoy basketball, enjoy the ball, relax themselves, and realize the importance of creativity on the court.

This year's national team coach is still the former national youth Jiang Lao, because he has coached Lin Dong, so he has been entrusted with important tasks, and he has also tentatively decided that he will be the coach of next year's Olympics.

And what does Jiang Lao say, to a considerable extent, he is also a very enlightened type, good at accepting new things, and has a very good relationship with Lin Dong.

Thanks to Lin Dong's several discussions with him about the future of basketball in the Dragon Kingdom, as well as the relationship between soldiers and generals, and even some forward-looking tactics from the future of small ball, Jiang Lao has also had a lot of ideas recently.

In addition, the Asian Championships as a whole were quite relaxed, so compared to the usual coaching state, this time it can be regarded as a lot of bold attempts.

The slight unreasonableness on the court is because Lin Dong is encouraging and hinting, so he is too lazy to say it.

Even when the domestic media and some so-called senior basketball people criticized this behavior, it aroused Jiang Lao's arrogance.

What Lao Tzu agrees with, it is your turn to be a layman to point fingers?

Then he simply let go of his hands and feet and acquiesced to this behavior, so that during the entire World Championship schedule, all kinds of fairy balls in the team continued, the players played happily, and the atmosphere was quite good.

Although we all know that the Dragon Kingdom must be the first gear in Asia, but with such a big score and such an easy game, it is a serious demonstration of the dominance of the Dragon Kingdom in the Asian Championships during the two consecutive championships.

This made the domestic fans of the Dragon Country excited, and at the same time blocked the mouths of some doubters, it also made the whole country full of expectations for next year's 04 Athens Olympics.

Breaking through the quarterfinals of the all-time best? Is that a goal?

Today's Dragon Country is already aiming to enter the finals, and even wants to compete for the gold medal in the 04 Athens Olympics with the combination of Lin Dong and Yao Ming.

This is the men's three-ball event......

Gold medal? This gold medal is enough to be worth ten other events!

The General Administration of Sports attaches great importance to it, the Basketball Association is happy, the fans are happy, and Jiang Lao also seems to have found a new basketball concept.

And the changes brought by Lin Dong are not only that.

Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng and others, who were used to being tied up in the CBA, began to yearn for the NBA after feeling the atmosphere of free basketball and easy winning.

Even Zhu Fangyu, who had always wanted to leave the Dragon Kingdom and just wanted to eat, couldn't help but move his mind.

The NBA is good, the level is high, and the salary is high!

I used to think that there were all old beauties, unfamiliar with life, and it was not easy to fit in, but now there are examples of Yao Ming and Lin Dong in front, there is no reason for others to adapt, but they can't adapt to it, what's the matter, I'm half stupid to others?

"Lao Lin, Brother Yao, you go and talk to Lao Li, and also help us get a few draft indicators......"

"That's it, I still have to rely on Lao Li to come forward in this matter, the main thing is that the team won't let people go, I have signed the contract for too long......"

"Lao Lin, how about a few of us going to the NBA draft next year? What are the chances of reaching the first round? ”

"The UAE should be able to reach the first round." Lin Dong judged with a smile: "You guys practice your confrontation and basic skills well, and maybe you can enter the first round at this time next year." ”

Yi Jianlian was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and smiled shyly.

"I'm not strong enough to fight?" Zhu Fangyu was quite unconvinced and showed off his muscles: "Look at this Hong biceps!" Look at the lines! Do you have to stand aside when the boxing champion comes? ”

Sun Yue wanted to find the ball: "My basic skills are already very strong, okay?" Recently, I have been practicing ball control every day! ”

"Oh!" Lin Dong smiled and said: "Then when you feel that you are not strong, you will be qualified to enter the first round." ”

"Damn, with my damn confidence, you're embarrassing me!"

"Oh my God, I don't think I'll make it to the first round in my life!"

But Yao Ming said with a smile: "Lin Dong is right, and if you want to enter the NBA, you still need a little opportunity, and it is not the best to rely on me and Lin Dong to pave the way for you." ”

"It's better to train hard first, eat the CBA first, and if you can perform well in the Olympics next year, many NBA scouts will notice you, and then you can go again, and you can stand firm."

"Waiting for the Olympics? Isn't that still a two-year wait? Oh my God, I'll be 21 by then, is that still a rookie? ”

"Rest assured, non-U.S. players have a draft age of 23." Lin Dong said with a smile: "At that time, whether it is the NBA or the world basketball world, there will eventually be a place for you." ”

"Definitely, come on!" Yi Jianlian, who began to grow a little youthful scum on his face, said in high spirits.

"Then I'll win a CBA championship first......" Zhu Fangyu replied stupidly.

"Then I'll ...... too" Sun Yue looked at Lin Dong, and smiled again: "Lao Lin, then let me take a key?" You're not in Yanjing, the car is almost rusty in the garage, how pitiful! I'll take care of it for you, wash it every day, rest assured, I'll cherish it as much as I do my girlfriend! ”

“…… How many have you replaced? Do you call cherishing? ”

"Ahem...... This girlfriend is definitely different! ”

"Hahaha!"
