Heizi's Basketball: I'm not the boss?

Chapter 187 Xiangyang’s defensive ability

"Are you okay Captain? Uh...can I call you Captain?"

Xiang Yang asked while pulling up Li Wenyu who was sitting on the ground.

It wasn't that Xiang Yang was teasing others specifically, but considering the current status of the two of them, it was actually inappropriate for Xiang Yang to call Captain Li Wenyu directly.

Although the National Youth Team and the National Team seem to be two closely connected teams, the differences are not small.

As a member of the National Youth Team, if Xiang Yang directly calls Captain Li Wenyu, then in the eyes of outsiders, it will be a bit of a conspiracy. In this case, it would be more appropriate for him to call Li Wenyu Captain Li.

Just when Xiang Yang was hesitating about how to choose a title, Li Wenyu quickly took Xiang Yang's hand and stood up, with a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "Okay, okay, you can call me whatever you want!"

In the one-on-one session just now, Xiang Yang left a profound impression on Li Wenyu.

[I thought...you were here to help me. 】

Li Wenyu's expression was a little melancholy. He looked at the basketball still rolling on the ground behind him and couldn't help but sigh.

"I was blown away..."

Li Wenyu's muttering was very small, but Xiang Yang was very close to him, so he heard it.

"No, no, the captain fought very well. Just now... uh."

Xiang Yang subconsciously waved his hand and wanted to compliment him, but when he recalled the duel just now, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be no place for him to compliment him...

Just now, after Xiang Yang turned on the "zone" mode, the combination of sudden shooting and full firepower! In the 11-point heads-up game, Xiang Yang scored three points and made four breakthroughs. The game ended without even letting Li Wenyu touch the ball. What's even more exaggerated is that Li Wenyu was knocked down on the last ball!

Fortunately, this arena is exclusively for the National Youth Team. Since Xiang Yang and the others arrived very early, no one else saw Li Wenyu's performance except Coach Sun and Hai Lao.

Xiang Yang thought for a while and said, "Another round?"

"This time you attack first."

Xiang Yang reminded him kindly, while still silently calculating in his mind whether to show mercy later.

Hearing this, Li Wenyu was stunned. He secretly looked at Xiangyang's height and body shape, and thought to himself.

[This kid's breakthroughs are so sharp...but with his physical fitness, he definitely can't do things like defense! 】

[Also let me attack first...hiss, I understand!He wants to waterproof me and show me some worldliness, right? What a boy!Something is going to happen! 】

"Okok! Sun Jiao is also sitting nearby and watching. I want to challenge you more because I want to see your strength. Although you are qualified in terms of offense, you haven't seen it in defense yet."

Li Wenyu's eyes lit up and he trotted over to pick up the basketball. He glanced at Coach Sun who was sitting on the sidelines and found that the latter didn't show any reaction to his actions. He immediately understood what his coach meant.

"Come on, Xiangyang! The coach is sitting down and watching. Don't let yourself go. Otherwise, Sun will not be happy if you are seen."

Li Wenyu took the lead in standing in the offensive position and threw the ball to Xiang Yang to wash the ball. At the same time, he did not forget to give instructions.

(Basketball trivia: Washing the ball means that during a one-on-one duel, the attacker passes the ball to the defender, and then the defender passes it back, which means that the one-on-one duel has officially begun.)
Xiang Yang received the pass and glanced at Coach Sun who was sitting off the court. The expression on his face was a little tangled: "Okay, I won't let you go, captain."

"Hmph, you have to be careful. Although my defensive ability is average, I am still very confident in attacking!"

Li Wenyu raised his right arm and made a bodybuilding movement, and his arm circumference was indeed good, and the arched muscle lines looked very beautiful.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Yang nodded and seemed relieved. He raised his hand to pass the ball back, stepped forward and landed in the defensive position.

"Come on, Captain."

Xiangyang's eyes were lowered, and his aura was slightly restrained. Although he had the idea of ​​waterproofing, at the beginning, he planned to defend well.

"Death Coil (harassment version) has been activated."

There was a mechanical sound in his mind. With the intention of letting some water go, Xiangyang did not turn on the "zone" mode.

I thought that if this was the case, I could probably have a good fight with Li Wenyu, but Xiang Yang seemed to have overlooked a problem.

In the past, opponents in one-on-one confrontations were all miracle level, which meant that even if Xiangyang defended with all his strength, there was no guarantee that he would be able to gain an advantage on the defensive end.

To put it another way, Xiangyang does not have a clear understanding of his defensive ability when facing ordinary players...

Snapped!
A sharp chipping sound.

The script from the last round of duel seemed to be playing out again, and the slight smile on Li Wenyu's face froze again.

The only difference is that this time, Li Wenyu is on the offensive end.

goo goo goo...

The basketball slowly rolled out of bounds. Xiang Yang crouched down and felt the force of the ball coming from his hands, thoughtfully.

[In this steal just now, my movements became faster than before? 】

Xiang Yang's mind moved and he thought of the rewards issued by the system last night.

Professional basketball player experience package

Although the name is a bit inconspicuous, the effect... is very significant!

"Again."

Xiang Yang said calmly, one time was obviously not enough for Xiang Yang to feel clearly the improvement in his own skills.

Li Wenyu happened to be his sparring partner. Taking this opportunity, Xiangyang wanted to fully control the changes in his body.

Seeing Xiang Yang's serious look, Li Wenyu couldn't help but swallow while running to pick up the ball.

【No way?This guy's steal just now... must be a coincidence, right? 】

Li Wenyu held the ball and once again fell into the offensive position. This time he did not attack hastily, but looked at Xiang Yang warily for a long time.After discovering that the latter's current defensive position looked harmless, Li Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief.

[That's right...it should be a coincidence...]

Having made up his mind, Li Wenyu released the ball to prepare for the attack. He adjusted his rhythm with a pull-back dribble from the right, and then a step-back jumper from the left. This is Li Wenyu's most commonly used mid-range finishing move!

Feeling the consistency of his moves, Li Wenyu felt happy. He could sense that the rhythm of this attack was maintained very well. As long as the rhythm was not chaotic when shooting the jump shot, the ball would most likely go in!

However...a sudden change occurred!
At the moment when Li Wenyu stepped back to combine the ball and prepare to shoot, Xiang Yang leaned his upper body out. Without even moving his steps, he made a pre-judged steal. At the moment when Li Wenyu was about to combine the ball, he flew the ball away. !
Snapped!
The sound of the ball was louder this time, and Xiang Yang's right hand hit the basketball for real.

Unlike the last time the basketball slowly rolled out of bounds, this time the basketball was like a cannonball, flying directly across the field.

By coincidence, it hit the chair next to Coach Sun.

Watching the trajectory of the basketball popping up, Coach Sun's pupils trembled slightly. He turned his head and looked sharply at Xiang Yang, his eyes still looking up and down, as if he wanted to see through the latter.

"Ho ho ho, Xiao Li is in trouble this time."

Hai Lao happily stroked the beard on his chin. He looked at Xiang Yang, his eyes also showed shock, but more of joy.

No matter how good or outstanding Xiangyang's performance is, he is already a member of the flower gardening family. Shocked by such a situation, Hai Lao hopes that there will be more!
"Neon, if you let such a good player go, you really won't be afraid of being struck by lightning..."

Inside a cafe in Tokyo Prefecture

Kasamatsu was holding a cup of coffee and drinking it slowly. Opposite him, a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses sat there with a helpless expression on his face.

"So Kasamatsu...I've told you so much, don't you have anything to say to me?"

The middle-aged man scratched his head, looked down at the coffee in front of him, and curled his lips.

[What the hell is this? It's so hard, why would anyone like to drink this? 】

Kasamatsu naturally didn't know Aida Jinghu's inner thoughts, so he knocked on the table and said, "Senior Aida, you did say a lot just now, but you haven't talked about the most critical issue yet."

"Why did you ask me to play in this exhibition game? There are so many players in Neon, not to mention those professional basketball players. Just talking about those miracles, there are five generals who can do a better job than me at the point guard position. There are more than three people I know. Why did you invite me to fight again?"

"If you don't make that clear to me, I will never agree."

Kasamatsu's attitude is very firm. He has always believed in a saying that when things go wrong, there must be a monster.

Looking at Kasamatsu's appearance, Aida knew that if he didn't show off his cards today, the deal would probably not go through.Aida sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll explain it to you..."

"First of all, I applied to the Basketball Association for the Nuggets to come to our place to play an exhibition match. The purpose is naturally to let my undistinguished juniors come into contact with the real basketball masters in the world and open their eyes. We can't do it forever. Everyone is like a frog in a well."

"The current two leading players of the Blazers, Nash Gott and Justin Thiebaud, have been selected to start the national team for the next Basketball World Cup in Eagle Country. They are truly the level of the world's top national players! If we can match this kind of There are many benefits from fighting against opponents of different levels!"

Aida spread his hands. He could be said to be quite optimistic about this plan that he personally initiated and implemented. Even Kasamatsu, who was sitting opposite and listening, had to admit that from the surface, it was indeed a perfect plan.

Inviting the famous street basketball team to play exhibition games in Neon will not only collect a large amount of ticket money to repay the invitation fee of the Zombie Dragons, but also improve the horizons of your own basketball players and compete with high-level opponents.

"Sounds great, but why are you looking for me?"

Kasamatsu frowned slightly. He really couldn't figure out this problem. How could he be at this level against a world-famous street team?
Kasamatsu himself didn't believe it.

However, Aida gave him an encouraging look and said: "Don't blame yourself too much, Ai Lisong, you are great, but the real reason why I am looking for you is..."

"I really couldn't find a more suitable person."
