Standing pretty old

Chapter 14
ps: Thank you brother v for the reward. This is the first time I have received a reward. Thank you very much. As for the update speed, hehehehe...

"Kraft, before I came to UCLA, I was very worried that there were too many talents here, the competition was fierce, and I would not get the chance to play! But my parents insisted that getting a diploma is also a good way out!" Westbrook said during the break Talk to Ruan Erniu.

Er Niu smiled and said, "Well, so you are still here, what about after you come here?"

Sibb suddenly became shy, and said weakly: "I've fallen in love with this place now, look there!"

Er Niu looked at Sibu's finger, and the UCLA women's basketball players were also training intensively.

Er Niu asked puzzledly: "The women's basketball team is training! What's the problem?"

Seab said: "Well, I really like that girl named Nina, I think I'm in love with her!"

Ruan Erniu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good luck, brother! If necessary, I am willing to vacate the dormitory at an appropriate time!"

……

Does Ruan Erniu envy Westbrook?Envious to death.But now he really doesn't have time to enjoy the so-called good time in college.In addition to ensuring that he must pass the coursework, he also had to seize all the time and work hard to improve his basketball foundation.

Compared with these basketball heroes who have received formal Millikin basketball training all the way, he did lose at the starting line.

It is said that there is a problem with the youth training of American basketball, and the youth has begun to lag behind Europe in terms of technical training.But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Ruan Erniu, who has played in the provincial sports center and the provincial basketball team, can guarantee that the professionalism of training in the United States is at least far beyond that of China.

In order to hone his basic skills, Ruan Erniu basically sleeps with a basketball in his arms.As long as he is free, he dribbles with left and right hands crossed at any time, trying to exercise his sense of the ball in the shortest possible time.

After training every day, he also insisted on practicing mid-range shooting by himself so that he could have a longer attack distance.He can't forget the painful memory of the high school practice game.It can be seen how important shooting is to rule the inside but not the court.

In fact, he specifically called Klay Thompson, who beat him.Interestingly, Clay, who also grew up in California, did not receive the attention of the two famous schools of USC and UCLA.

USC and UCLA are now focusing on players with strong bodies such as DeRozan and Malcolm Lee.To be honest, Ruan Erniu didn't think Klay Thompson would be worse than them at all, but this was a matter of the coaching staff's vision and perspective, and he had no right to question it.

Clay, who received the call, didn't mean to hide any secrets. He not only explained his shooting training method in detail.He also recommended Dr. Joseph Kempf, who trained him to shoot from a young age, to him.

Ruan Erniu, who felt that his shooting progress was slow, decided to call Dr. Kempf. To be able to train a shooter as amazing as Clay, there must be a training method that can make him reborn.

Joseph Kempf received the call and after learning that it was Clay's recommendation, he enthusiastically expressed his willingness to help Ruan Erniu, but at the same time he said: "Don't think that I made Clay, in fact, he just Taught him how to lift the ball over the top, how to relax his arms, palms and fingers. The most important thing is that he has this talent and works hard enough!"

Later, Ruan Erniu sent part of the shooting and training videos to Dr. Kempf.After careful study, Kempf said to Ruan Erniu: "Your physical talent is better than Klay's. In fact, because of your excellent basketball talent, I don't recommend learning Klay's shooting style. Flexible Use your wingspan and excellent wrist strength to achieve unexpected results. I will send you some related materials and videos. I suggest you watch more of Rasheed Wallace's shooting training. I think you can find out Figure out the shooting method that suits you best!"

A few years later, when Ruan Erniu and Klay Thompson were both red and purple, it was discovered that they had both been instructed by Dr. Kempf.But Kempf himself is unwilling to take the credit. In his own words: "Those training materials and help are actually just auxiliary. The reason why they have such a high shooting percentage is entirely because one of them is Kraft Nguyen and the other It's Klay Thompson, it's none of my business!"

Ruan Erniu devoted himself to boring shooting training like a treasure. Even Westbrook, who has always worked hard, felt admiration for his roommate. This is simply treating basketball as life.

According to the general situation, in a prestigious school like UCLA, it is impossible for a freshman to fight against a senior year.Even if Kareem Abdul-Jabbar broke the convention with his outstanding talent, looking at the entire history of the basketball team, this is an isolated case.

However, in an internal training two months later.Ben Holland found a miraculous situation at home. Mata, who was the first-choice inside center, and the team's rebounding leader last season, the "Prince" Luke Richard Bammert from Cameroon, were completely reborn. Kraft Nguyen suppressed inaction. (Bammert should be the son of a chief. Sure enough, the United States and China belong to the same family. Thinking about the mountain prince in the first issue of The Voice of China, the gimmick is really a good thing.)
If it weren't for the outstanding performance of the outside ace Aaron Afflalo and Darren Collison, who temporarily suppressed Westbrook on the bench, I am afraid that the first grade will really kill the senior grade.

Ben Holland is more and more proud that he can get this piece of jade in his pocket. This Chinese man who has received formal basketball training for no more than half a year is growing at an unimaginable speed.

If he hadn't watched today's game, who would have thought that just 3 months ago, this newcomer's mid-range shot was so bad that it was unsightly.It's only been a while, and although it can't be called stable for the time being, it has become an existence that absolutely cannot be shorted.

Once he has the ability to attack with the ball at a high position, Ruan Erniu's strength has been improved exponentially.

If the inside defender dares to jump, he will drive the ball to the basket without hesitation, just like LeBron James did.No one is defending, so he shoots resolutely, and Bammert, as a victim, has been shot into a sieve in this confrontation.

"If he stays at UCLA until the second semester, I must train him as the core of tactics!" Ben Holland said to the assistants around him.

The assistant asked suspiciously: "Is he going to the draft so soon? How long has he had formal training?"

Ben smiled helplessly: "This is the difference between a top genius and an ordinary genius! Some people's upper limit is destined to be unpredictable! I am a little worried now, do you think I have cultivated an extremely difficult player for American basketball in the international arena?" opponent?"

The assistant shook his head and said: "This is not something that a small person like me can care about. What I care about now is, what kind of lineup are you going to send for the upcoming city derby?"

Ben Holland said seriously: "Since the opponent is USC, of ​​course we must use the strongest lineup to completely defeat the opponent, because we are UCLA!"
