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

Chapter 219 "The Glove" Kevin Kelly

On the flight from Eagle Country to Flower Gardener

The current national players of Eagle Country are gathered here. In addition, there is also an energetic old man.

Although he has a head full of white hair and numerous wrinkles on his face, this old man's eyes are full of vitality.

"Ho ho ho ho, old man, I haven't been on a plane in a long time!"

The old man put his hands behind his head and looked out the window with a leisurely look. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.

"Hey! That cloud is so beautiful, Nash Nash! Look!"

The old man slapped his thigh, shaking Nash awake from his sleep, and motioned him to look out the window.

Nash, who had finally fallen asleep, felt the pull of an external force. He frowned and opened his eyes with an angry look on his face. Nash, who had just made up his mind to vent his anger, couldn't help but be startled when he saw the old man's smiling face.

"call--"

Nash took a deep breath to calm down, lay back on the cushion again, and said in a cold tone: "Old man, if you make such a fuss again, I swear I will throw you down the escape tunnel!"

After hearing Nash's reprimand, the old man not only did not restrain himself, but instead blew his beard and glared: "You little brat, do you know etiquette? You should maintain a humble posture when facing your elders, instead of throwing your elders off the plane!"

"Hehe."

There was a sneer on Nash's lips, and he retorted: "I have never seen any elder make such a fuss about a cloud. Are you a child? Even my ten-year-old nephew would not do such a thing."

The old man was stunned for a moment, grabbed the key point of Nash's words and asked: "Do you have a nephew? How is your basketball talent?"

Nash:…

"Don't think about it, I'm just a distant nephew. He didn't inherit even a little bit of my basketball talent."

As he spoke, Nash deliberately raised his arm and shook it in front of the old man. His plump biceps exuded a different kind of beauty under the light of the airplane.

After hearing this, the old man suddenly lost interest in Nash's nephew.

"You said that there is a kid in the flower garden who can compete with me in defensive ability. Is it true?"

The old man touched his chin and said doubtfully: "I wonder if you underestimate me Nash. My five or sixty years of basketball experience is no joke!"

"If you want me to accompany you on a trip to the flower garden, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush like this. You can also make up a player, tsk tsk tsk."

The old man smacked his lips, obviously not believing what Nash said. The latter rolled his eyes and corrected: "It's not that my defensive level is comparable to yours, it just makes me feel very similar to you. Besides... I think his defensive level is better than You are strong."

Old man:? ? ?
Now the old man couldn't help it anymore. He stamped his feet and looked at Nash very dissatisfied.

"Well, old man, you don't have to be too sad. After all, the age difference between you and him is too big."

Nash explained with a shrug.

If there are two people with similar defensive levels, then the difference that best reflects the difference is the athletic ability of the body.

Obviously, an old man who is nearly [-] years old cannot compare with a young man who is in his twenties and eighth years in this regard.

The old man snorted softly, seeming to accept Nash's statement.

At this moment, the announcement came from the PA on the plane.

"The plane is about to arrive in China. Please pay attention, passengers."

(The plane is about to arrive at the flower garden, please pay attention, passengers.)

Inside the Flower Garden Men’s Basketball Training Center

Xiangyang and his teammates are doing various warm-up moves on the basketball court, just like they usually do when Coach Sun is away.

But this time, something is different.

"Hiss, sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I will see Nash later. My clothes today are not very strange, right?"

Zhou Yi unconsciously rubbed his body with his hands, a nervous look on his face.

Xiang Yang reminded him silently: "You are still the same as usual today, emm... wearing the uniform of the Flower Planters men's basketball team, there is nothing strange about it."

"call--"

Hearing Xiang Yang's affirmation, Zhou Yi relaxed a lot. He made a "must win" sign on his right hand, then put it to his mouth and made a swallowing motion.

"Come on! We must win! Zhou Yi, you can do it!"

Xiang Yang:…

Seeing Zhou Yi's movements like a primary school student about to perform on stage, Xiang Yang's mouth twitched a few times, and finally suppressed the desire to complain in his heart.

The Basketball Association did not block the news of the training match invited by the Eagle Nation, so almost all members of the Basketball Association knew that an exhibition match between the Planting Flowers Men's Basketball Team and the Eagle Nation Men's Basketball Team was going to be held here today.

The auditorium of this arena was also very rare to be filled with many spectators. They were all employees of the Basketball Association, including Brother Shu.

"Come on, Xiangyang! Everyone, let's cheer together!"

Shu Ge sat in the audience with his hands like trumpets and shouted. Xiang Yang turned sideways and made an OK gesture to him, and then continued his signature "dribbling warm-up".

About ten minutes later, the door of the arena was pushed open.

With a "squeak" sound.

Everyone in the arena turned their attention to the gate, including Xiang Yang, who hit a free throw with the ball and muttered, "Is it finally here?"

At the gate, Coach Sun and an old man were walking at the front. The two were talking about something, and behind the old man were the nine current national players of Eagle Country!
Xiang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, and sure enough, he saw Nash at the front of the players' queue.

This guy's character is still so flamboyant. He wears the uniform of the Eagle Country team directly on the outside, and wears toad sunglasses on his face. Coupled with his unruly smile, he just misses the four words "I am a bully". It's written on his face.

The moment Xiangyang saw Nash, Nash also saw him.

He raised his hand to take off the sunglasses on his face, strode to Xiang Yang, and said with a tic-tac-toe on his face: "Are you ready to die, kid?"

(Are you ready to die, kid?)
Xiang Yang raised his eyelids and responded: "If you want to lie on the ground, then you can do it now."

(If you want to lie down on the floor, you can do that now.)
"Tsk...you still annoy me so much."

A vein popped out in Nash's forehead, and Xiang Yang's words reminded him of some bad memories.

For example, being thrown over the shoulder by Xiang Yang and directly thrown to the ground...

Just when the smell of gunpowder between the two became stronger, the old man suddenly walked up to Xiang Yang, took his hand and shook it, and said with a smile: "Ho ho ho, you are Xiang Yang, right? When you were in Eagle Country I often hear Nash mention you."

"How about it, do you want to come to Eagle Country to play basketball? I can help you change your nationality to Eagle Country in less than a week!"

As the old man spoke, he rubbed Xiang Yang's hand. He quietly took a look at Xiang Yang's physical talent, and thought to himself: Tsk, this wingspan...is just over 180?Such a static talent is not something a good defender should master. Sure enough, that kid Nash is bluffing me...

Of course, Xiang Yang didn't know the inner activities of the old man. He calmly pulled his hand back and refused: "Thank you, old man, but I am very happy at the flower garden. I'm sorry."

Hearing that Xiang Yang rejected him, the old man was not angry. He took back his outstretched hand very naturally, scratched his head and said: "Ah, you are such a polite young man. Coach Sun, you have a great teacher." Where are my disciples?"

"You've been praised."

Coach Sun nodded in response, and then motioned the old man to sit on the bench.

[Look at this posture, this old man is their coach, right? 】

Xiang Yang looked at the old man's back and fell into deep thought.

[I always feel... I seem to have seen this person somewhere... The head coach of the Eagle Nation men's basketball team... Hiss! 】

Xiang Yang's mind moved and he recalled the information he had searched previously.

The most successful head coach in Eagle Nation history, Kevin Kelly.

Not only did he lead the Eagle Nation men's basketball team to win two world championships within ten years (ps: the world championships are held once every three years).At the same time, during his playing career, he was a world-famous top player.

It can be called the defensive gate among defenders, and the number one steal master in the world, "Glove" Kelly!
Because his fame was so far away from now, and Kelly's appearance has changed so much, few people can recognize him.

Xiang Yang also saw this character by the way when he asked Miss Masako to collect information about Nash.

"It looks like today's training match will be very interesting!"

……

……

While waiting for the Eagle Nation players to warm up, Coach Sun also gathered the players and announced the starting lineup for today's training match.

The first is the No. [-] position, and Xiang Yang is activated without any suspense.

Next, at the second position, coach Sun chose the more experienced Zhou Yi, while temporarily abandoning Xiao Lin, who had just been promoted to the national team not long ago.

The third position is naturally the men's basketball captain Li Wenyu.

As for the choice of positions [-] and [-], Sun Jiao was hesitant...

The Eagle Nation national team is very famous, and Nash is not the only famous player among them. Xibo, who is also a member of the Nash Team with Nash, is also very famous.

With excellent physical fitness, brutal playing style, and top-notch dynamic and static talents, it can be said that Xibo is the standard answer for the Brutalist insiders!
Facing this ton of behemoths, the Huazhongjia Men's Basketball Team, which has relatively weak internal strength, really can't find a suitable candidate to deal with it.

Even Coach Sun feels like a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.

Not only Sun Jiao, Xiang Yang also noticed this, and he looked in the direction of the auditorium.

Today, Hai Lao also brought members of the National Youth Team to watch the game, and they were among them who failed to be promoted to the national team due to poor performance during the trial.

Xiang Yang sighed, a little helpless.

[What a pity. If that big guy was here, it would be a lot easier to fight, right? 】

There is no way, it is naturally impossible for members of the national youth team to participate in the national team's training match.

In the end, Coach Sun named two insiders with acceptable confrontation abilities and started the training match...
