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

Chapter 193: Are the quotas determined by default?
"The one who passed this assessment is..."

"First place, Xiangyang."

Coach Sun looked at the list in his hand and reported the first name.

As Coach Sun called out his name, Xiang Yang suddenly felt a few more eyes on him, almost all of which were envy.

However, everyone was not surprised that Xiangyang passed the assessment. Judging from Xiangyang's performance on the field, it would be strange that he failed to advance.

Coach Sun glanced at Xiang Yang and found that the latter's face was normal and didn't care. He lowered his head and said the second name again.

"Second, Wang Xiaolong."

"Yes!"

When Wang Xiaolong heard his name appear, he immediately clenched his fist and roared, and this was "Xiao Wang".

Throughout the game, Wang Xiaolong, who plays the role of small forward, not only received Xiang Yang's passes many times on the offensive end and scored smoothly, but also performed stably on the defensive end. Facing Li Wenyu, who was a level higher in physical fitness, he successfully relied on his excellent defensive ability. , try your best to limit it.

As for the "Little King"'s successful promotion, Xiangyang had already expected it. Putting aside his performance in this game, Xiangyang played against him on the first day he came to the flower garden. As for Xiao Wang's defensive ability and Xiang Yang also recognized his talent.

Others also applauded and congratulated Xiao Wang. As teammates in the same team, they were also happy that Xiao Wang could successfully advance.

But... the more important thing is whether they can advance.

After the short celebration, everyone fell silent and looked nervously at Coach Sun, expecting to hear their name next.

It's a pity that Coach Sun's next sentence is not good news.

"The last place left to advance..."

Coach Sun touched his chin and suddenly laughed. At this juncture, this always mature coach couldn't help but whet everyone's appetite.

"The third person to advance is——"

Coach Sun spoke in a longer tone, and his eyes wandered back and forth on the faces of the eight members of the National Youth Team, and finally stopped on Xiao Gao's face.

At this time, Xiao Gao was sweating nervously. He rubbed his hands on his chest unconsciously, and his eyes were fixed on Coach Sun's mouth.

Coach Sun's gaze that had been lingering on Xiao Gao was very obvious, and everyone soon noticed it. For a moment, the faces of the other players who had not been called out suddenly dimmed. They all thought that Coach Sun's hint was already obvious.

At the same time, Xiao Gao's height of 210cm can reach a wingspan of 217cm before he stops growing. Coupled with his status as "Ebi's favorite disciple", it can be said that there is almost no suspense about the last spot.

However, Xiang Yang has a different view.

Putting aside all off-field factors, if the criterion for promotion is just to look at this game alone, Xiao Gao's performance is actually not outstanding, it can even be said... very bad!

Facing the national team's loose defense inside, Xiaogao's finishing success rate was not even [-]% despite Xiangyang feeding the ball many times!

Perhaps there was a mental problem that prevented him from fully utilizing his abilities, but his performance in this trial was not good, and that is a fact.

If we go by the wisdom of the world, there is no doubt that the third spot will go to Xiao Gao. Judging from Coach Sun's current performance, it seems that his name will also be pronounced.

but…

"Third place, Lin Chengshuai."

quiet--

Different from the previous two times where there were more or less cheers, this time the expressions on the faces of everyone in the National Youth Team were a little surprised when they heard that Xiao Gao was not the one who got the final promotion spot.

【What?Did I hear wrongly?Isn't the last name Gao Tianwei? 】

At this moment, everyone present had this thought in mind, except Xiang Yang and Ebi.

Xiang Yang shook his head calmly, he looked at Coach Sun with surprise.

[No way... You really don't have any sense of humanity, how can you not give Hai Lao face? 】

Even Xiang Yang, who had just arrived at the flower garden twice, could tell that among the players in the national youth team, Xiao Gao was the one that Ebi liked the most.

As a direct disciple of Ebi, Coach Sun was so ruthless and devoid of any favoritism towards his master's most promising players.

"He is so selfless... I always feel that this coach will be a troublesome guy."

Xiang Yang murmured and glanced at Hai Lao secretly, finding that although the latter had regrets on his face, he had no intention of fighting for Xiao Gao's chance.

Coach Sun and Hai Lao, the older and the younger, seemed to be carved from the same mold. Until the moment the game ended, Hai Lao already knew who Coach Sun would choose in the end.

"Ugh…"

Ebi sighed, walked to the arena and patted Xiao Gao on the shoulder.

"You really didn't play well today. If Xiao Sun gives you a spot, I believe you won't feel at ease, right?"

Ebi walked up to Xiao Gao and whispered while wiping the sweat from his face.

Xiao Gao, on the other hand, lowered his head and said nothing, but vaguely, Xiang Yang seemed to see a touch of crystal falling from his face, and finally dripping to the ground.

Hai Lao sighed again. This time he didn't say anything more, but gave Coach Sun a look, and the latter understood.

"Cough cough!"

Coach Sun cleared his throat and brought everyone's attention back to himself. He looked at the three Xiangyang people who had successfully advanced and said slowly: "Congratulations, you have successfully entered the national team. Starting tomorrow, we will The goal of the one-month team running-in training is to obtain a ranking in the Basketball World Cup at the end of next year."

"Players who have not successfully advanced should not be discouraged. Continue to polish their skills in the National Youth Team. Everyone's success is not accidental. The training required is persistence and hard work day after day."

Coach Sun looked at Xiang Yang and said, "Xiang Yang, your situation is quite special. Hai Lao has informed me in advance that you still need to return to Neon to complete your last year of high school."

"This is your choice and I have no right to interfere, but relatively, you will be very tired in the next month, very tired! I hope you are mentally prepared."

Xiang Yang nodded in response. He was not surprised by Coach Sun's words.

As the point guard, he is the brains of the team. Among all teams, as the custodian of the ball and the initiator of tactics, the point guard naturally has to endure the most tests.

Xiang Yang estimates that in the next month, he will not only complete the daily scheduled training of the national team, but also find out the characteristics of each teammate in the team, and of course, tactical arrangements and memories will be indispensable.

Fortunately, these things are not difficult for Xiang Yang, who understands basketball far beyond ordinary people. He believes that no matter how many tactics and understanding Coach Sun has in his belly, it will definitely not be as high as the "professional basketball experience package". Own.

But what Xiangyang didn't expect was that soon, he and Coach Sun would have a dispute...

Half a month later, in the national team’s dedicated training ground.

beep—

A harsh whistle sounded, and Coach Sun frowned slightly and stopped everyone playing the training match on the court.

"Xiang Yang, why didn't you return to defense in that round of defense just now?"

Coach Sun looked at Xiang Yang with sharp eyes. This was not the first time he discovered the "low-level mistakes" Xiang Yang had made on the court.

Obviously, in his opinion, Xiangyang's golf intelligence is unique in the history of basketball, but many times, he will make some mistakes that he shouldn't make, such as the attack just now.

When he was intercepted by the opponent and formed a defensive counterattack, Xiangyang, as an outside player, should quickly return to defense to buy time for the team to make up for the mistake. However, he just stood there and watched his teammates return to defense, still staying in the opponent's half. Field, I don’t know what I’m thinking.

Faced with Coach Sun's question, Xiang Yang touched his nose and said what he was thinking: "I think when the opponent successfully completes a steal and forms a defensive counterattack, if I stand alone in the opponent's half and other teammates successfully defend After this round of offense, all it takes is a long pass with acceptable accuracy, and I can get an easy chance to score."

When Xiang Yang said this, his tone was very calm and methodical, as if he said it after careful consideration.

Li Wenyu, who was closest to him, immediately gave Xiang Yang a "take care of yourself" look. Ever since Coach Sun coached the national team, no, it should be said since Ebi coached the national team, any player has raised objections to their words. Every time, they would be suppressed by a series of verbal attacks, and Li Wenyu believed that this time, it would be no exception.

However... After listening to Xiang Yang's words, Coach Sun opened his mouth to say something but immediately closed it. He lowered his head slightly and twitched his lips. He didn't know what he was mumbling. After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Then what if, the other party After completing the steal, he did not choose a fast break, but dribbled the ball across the half court and waited for his teammates to arrive. What about playing in position?"

"If this is the case, and you stay in the opponent's half and your own half, will it become a 4-on-5 situation?"

Coach Sun narrowed his eyes slightly, waiting for Xiang Yang to give him an answer.

Li Wenyu was shocked. He looked at Coach Sun's expression and voice at this moment, and after repeatedly considering what the latter said, Li Wenyu came to a conclusion that he said was impossible!
Faced with Xiang Yang's rebuttal, Coach Sun not only did not speak out, but instead asked Xiang Yang again in a begging tone.

Li Wenyu could swear that this was definitely the first time since he entered the national team and met Coach Sun!He even had a vague premonition... This wouldn't be the last time!
Unlike Li Wenyu's surprise, Xiang Yang's reaction seemed much more normal.

"You're right, Coach Sun. If the defensive side does not choose a fast break, but slows down the pace and plays a positional battle, then my choice will be to create a vulnerability for my teammates out of thin air."
