Those hot basketball days

"Mom and Dad, why are you here?" said Anna, who threw herself into their arms and said with a happy face.

"We don't worry that you came to Huaxia by yourself and came to see you. The foreign man smiled and said, "It just so happens that the game is over, and we want to surprise you." "

The game is over?" Anna was taken aback and said, "Princeton is eliminated?"

The foreign man snorted and remained silent.

Wu Xining walked over quickly, greeted with a smile, and said, "Uncle Mark, Aunt Jane, hello." "

Oh, Minnie. Jane gave her a quick hug and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Anna has caused you trouble during this time."

Wu Xining shook her head and said, "Anna adapted quickly, and now she has her own circle.

Jane said with a doting face, "Oh my God, worthy of my darling, I'm proud of you."

Mark glanced at the curious Z-tallers and asked, "Baby, is this your team?"

Anna said proudly, "Yes, it's them."

Mark shook his head and said, "They look too thin to play basketball!" Anna

exclaimed dissatisfiedly, "Come on Dad, they're the best I've ever seen, and we've managed to win the provincial championship, and the next goal is the national championship."

Mark smiled and said: "Maybe I'm too one-sided, judging from the game video, they have always been a good team, and I believe that the strength of the provincial champion must be extraordinary." Anna

said proudly, "They're the best!" Mark

and Jane smiled at each other and looked at their baby daughter with doting expressions.

Anna saw that although the expressions of the two of them were soft, she still didn't believe it in her heart, and wanted to confirm it for them immediately, but considering that today's training had just ended, everyone should not have much physical strength, so she dispelled this idea.

"Let's go, Mom and Dad, Minnie Mouse and I will take you to taste the local specialties of Dragon City!" Anna said with a smile, "As for the situation of the team. I'll show you tomorrow.

When Mark and Jane heard the news, their faces were excited.

Anna smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, wait a minute. He trotted a few steps, motioned for everyone to assemble, and after a few words, signaled that everyone could disband.

Mark and Jane watched their daughter clasp their hands to their chests from a distance, pointing at the team members in front of them who were about the same age as her with a serious face, and a trace of emotion flashed in their hearts.

It seems that his daughter has finally grown up.

With

the departure of Anna, Wu Xining, and her parents, the rest of the Z-tall people also began to pack up their things.

Su Ce did not leave as usual, but continued to stay and practice.

Jia Ming was obviously Xi to his training method, so he stayed with him.

Ye Su put his basketball into the bag he carried with him and asked, "Do you still continue to practice?"

Su Ce nodded, and said while shooting a basket quickly: "You go first, I'll lock the door."

Ye Su pursed his lips and said, "You are really a pervert, you still have physical strength with such a large amount of training today

!" Su Ce replied with a smile: "What can you do if you don't have physical strength, just hold on!"

Ye Su said puzzledly: "Your training efficiency is low, and you have delayed your rest, which is too much to lose."

Su Ce said with a smile: "I still have the last 100 three-pointers to finish, and I will leave after practice."

Ye Su was speechless for a while, and said, "Okay, I don't have any strength at all, I want to hurry home and take a bath and sleep."

Su Ce smiled slightly and continued to shoot quickly.

In this way, with the help of Zhao Xuanting, they finally finished shooting the set 100 three-pointers, and Su Ce and the three of them packed up their things and walked back.

What made Jia Ming extremely incomprehensible was that he didn't know what happened to these two people today, and he seemed to be even more tired than before.

Zhao Xuanting's left hand has been interlocking with Su Ce's right hand, and at the same time, his right arm is holding his right arm, and the whole person is almost attached to his body.

Jia Ming only felt goosebumps erupt all over his body, and couldn't help but glance at the two of them with disdain, and then quickly walked a few steps, no longer looking at this disgusting picture.

On the second day, the day was still spent normally, the difference was that Su Ce was obviously much more serious in class than before, and Wu Xining, who was his tablemate, was very curious and asked him why he worked so hard.

Su Ce replied that it was because she felt that she had been away from the classroom for a long time, and she missed the feeling of sitting in the classroom for a long time.

Wu Xining naturally couldn't understand this mood, so she had to play alone.

Time flies, and it's time to train in the evening.

Wu Xining came to the gymnasium with the three of them as usual, and after a while, everyone arrived, and Anna also arrived, in addition to Anna, everyone was surprised to find that Anna's father Mark also came to the gymnasium in sportswear.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, with a curious face.

What is the coach's father doing here, does he want to play with us?

Anna smiled and said: "We won't do physical training today, wait for Ye Su to take everyone to warm up first, and after the warm-up is over, we will divide into two teams to fight against each other, just show the content of our usual training, don't be nervous."

Everyone nodded in curiosity.

What does the coach mean by this, do you want us to show the results of our training in

front of her father? Since it was requested by the coach, of course we should perform well in front of her father!

Thinking of this, everyone immediately became excited, and under the leadership of Ye Su, they began the first warm-up item, jogging.

After a short warm-up, Anna motioned for the team to split into two groups and began the match, while she stood next to Mark and whispered something to him.

The Z Gao people couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourds of their father and daughter, or according to the previous grouping, Su Ce's side launched an attack and started a fast offensive Xi.

Su Ce quickly rushed across the half court with the ball, and then reluctantly changed to a positional battle under the rapid positioning and urgent defense of the Gucheng side.

Suzer held the ball outside the three-point line while holding out a finger to direct his teammates' runs.

But the team members are too familiar with each other, no matter how Su Ce's side runs, they will be quickly resolved by Gu Cheng's side.

Su Ce frowned, and could only fight alone.

Facing Guo Wei, who was defending himself, Su Ce began to dribble under his crotch continuously.

With the right foot in front and the left foot behind, the ball is dribbling quickly under the crotch, while probing slightly at the same time, looking like it can be started at any time.

Guo Wei followed his footsteps while staring closely at the ball in his hand.

Mark on the side nodded slightly, this No. 7, the ball sense is really good.

In the next second, Su Ce suddenly started, and the moment the ball rebounded to his right hand, he made a sharp shot to the left, a large change of direction, and the whole person quickly broke through to the left.

Guo Wei saw that he was about to walk quickly on his right side, and subconsciously adjusted his pace and center of gravity to follow.

Su Ce quickly entered the three-point line in this way, and in the next second when Guo Wei blocked his road, the left hand holding the ball suddenly exploded vigorously, and then with his right foot as the axis, he quickly turned to the left with the ball in both hands, and the whole person had quickly stepped into the three-second zone, and then took another step, lifting the ball to the basket and hitting the board.

Mark on the sidelines frowned slightly.

Although this No. 7 is not bad, it is far from what I expected.

Seeing her father's face, Anna asked Xi habitually, "What's the matter, Dad?"

Mark said, "Let everyone stop." Anna

was full of excitement and subconsciously shouted: "Stop!"

The Z tall crowd quickly stopped and looked at Anna with a curious expression.

Mark stood up, walked to the sidelines, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "I have a question, can I ask No. 7?"

He said this in English, and everyone looked at Wu Xining next to him Xi.

Su Ce didn't know what he wanted to ask, and subconsciously replied in English: "Of course you can."

Mark was a little surprised, he didn't expect to hear such pure Mi-style English in Huaxia, and then quickly asked: "Why did you choose to play alone with the ball in this attack just now?"

Wu Xining whispered next to him and quickly translated his words in a voice that everyone else could hear.

Su Ce replied without thinking about it: "Because my teammates don't have a suitable space, I can only attack by myself."

Mark nodded and asked again: "Then let me ask you again, if you were blocked by the No. 16 player in this attack just now, what would you do?"

Su Ce was stunned, but he didn't expect him to ask this question.

When the others heard Wu Xining's translation, they were also confused, the game has been played so far, it is as strong as Pan Tianyi has not completely guarded against this guy, how could the coach's father ask such a question?

Mark smiled and said, "Answer my question."

Su Ce paused and said, "I haven't thought about it."

Mark asked, "Why?"

Su Ce quickly replied, "Because no one can stop me!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately remembered to coax him, but now in this situation, no one dared to open their mouths.

Mark asked, "You said no one could stop you, but I don't think so." After a pause, he continued: "There is no one in this world who is 100% unguardable, and even Kobe Jordan can't guarantee that every round of offense will be scored back, why are you so sure?"

Su Ce was slightly angry in his heart, what do you mean by this? sarcastic me, sarcastic me, or questioning me?

If it weren't for you being Anna's father, I really wouldn't want to pay attention to you.

Mark didn't care at all, and continued to ask: "Now, you think about it, what are you going to do if your ball is completely blocked by No. 16?"

Su Ce suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "I will pass the ball."

Mark asked again, "To whom?" Suzer

said, "Whoever comes and wraps me up, I'll pass to my unmarked teammate in that direction."

Mark shook his head

and said, "No!" Before Su Ce could react, Mark quickly ran to the court, held the ball, and stood in the position where Su Ce had just turned around and made a layup, and said quickly: "What I said if you are blocked by the opponent, that is, you don't get a suitable shot opportunity in this position, and no one comes to cover you, what are you going to do at this time?"

Su Ce heard this, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

I really have never considered this problem, I have encountered this situation when I played the seventh and twenty-ninth middle schools before, and my choice at that time was to force the shot, in exchange for the big hats of Yin Yunlong and Pan Tianyi.

Mark raised his voice again and shouted, "Answer me!"

Su Ce scratched his head and said, "Maybe you can shoot directly."

Mark nodded and said, "Okay, shoot directly, can you guarantee the score?"

Su Ce scratched his head again and said, "Maybe."

Mark put the ball down, spread his hands out, and said, "Look, that's the crux of the matter." Holding the ball, he came to the position where Su Ce broke through just now outside the three-point line, and said: "Everyone stand according to the formation just now, No. 16, please come over and simulate defending me."

Everyone heard Wu Xining's quick translation, and Xi glanced at Anna next to him.

Anna nodded quickly, and the crowd took action.

Guo Wei opened his hands and stood in front of Mark.

Mark held the ball with both hands and said, "Okay, now the yellow team is in such a defensive position, and the entire green team teammates have no space to receive the ball, if you are asked to choose again, what will you do?"

Su Ce thought for a while, and suddenly pointed to Jia Ming and said: "Block and dismantle, he came out to play with me to block and dismantle."

Mark said: "Okay, then what?"

Su Ce was irritable for a while, why did this person have so many problems

, but he still said patiently: "Then I break through into the interior line, observe the opponent's defensive position, if the opponent chooses to trap me, I can move sideways to the right again, open up the distance between the person who cuts in after the block, and then assist him to score."

Mark said: "Okay, then what if the other side chooses to change defense?"

Su Ce said quickly: "In this way, I can also pass the ball at the first time and form a big fight!"

Mark said: "Okay, then we will demonstrate it according to what you said." Holding the ball with both hands, he waved his hand at Jia Ming, signaling him to come up to block the demolition, and at the same time, Feng Zikun, who was defending Jia Ming, quickly followed.

Mark quickly took the ball to the right side and inserted it diagonally into the inside, and at the same time, Feng Zikun met him for the first time, Jia Ming turned around and tried to go to the basket in the moment he passed, Guo Wei took a step ahead and stuck in front of him.

Mark quickly passed the ball away, and Jamin caught it with both hands.

"Ok, stop!" Mark shouted, turning to Su Ce and saying, "That's what you're talking about, right?"

Su Ce nodded and said, "That's right.

Mark smiled and said, "Then you look at the current situation, can you form a big fight like you said?"

Everyone looked to Jamin's position, he is now near the free throw line, where it is too difficult for an interior player to single-handedly play an outside guard who has not lost his defensive position.

Mark asked again, "Can you answer me?"

Su Ce shook his head helplessly and said, "No."

Mark said: "Maybe due to the physical reasons of No. 16, I may not be able to convince you by saying this, so let's consider another situation, if the defense of you is the height of No. 4, block and pass the ball, let No. 15 play No. 4 one-on-one, what percentage of probability do you think he can shoot the ball?"

Su Ce thought for a moment and shook his head again.

Mark said: "Now that the team is playing against each other, you know that the physical condition of the number 16 is not as good as you, don't mind. That's why you dare to dribble the ball into the basket unscrupulously, but in the future, if you encounter an opponent whose height, arm span, and physical fitness are better than yours, not only will you not be able to score this style of play, but you are also likely to be blocked!"

Su Ce only heard a cold sweat, and now he was completely convinced.

"That's the crux of the matter, and some people say that the Warriors' success is because of their infinite switching," Mark said. What is called infinite change of defense, that is, no matter how you attack, my players always have an advantage in front of you. Even if you play pick-and-roll, I'm still going to be taller than you, or stronger than you, or stronger than you. The

people did not speak, but listened carefully to what he said.

"The Warriors' success is inseparable from their defense, but again, their offense is historic," Mark said. They put a lot of emphasis on passing, with an emphasis on a lot of off-ball covers, running to create shooting opportunities, and switching between offense and defense very quickly, so scoring is easy.

"Of course, if they have the same small lineup, a team that is particularly fast, they rely more on Durant's individual singles to score. Mark said quickly: "It's the same with you, it's a waste to have a player of the type of No. 4 who doesn't play singles.

Mark continued: "And your offensive mode just now, a bit like the Suns back then, the 15th came to block with you, and then you passed, he scored under the basket, if there is no blocking, he will find an opportunity to pass the ball to the hands of the outside three-pointer, although this is also a very effective offensive method, but it is very unsuitable for you."

"You can't guarantee that you will play 40 minutes in every game, as long as you go down and rest, then your offense is bound to fall into a disadvantage, because you can't stop the offense!" Mark said, "So what you need to do now is to train the team and strengthen everyone's organizational skills!"

What he said is obviously the problem of the current team, when the offense can't open the situation, he will always Xi the habit of letting Ye Su and Su Ce block and dismantle, or Jia Ming to play with Su Ce, and then drive his teammates to score through Su Ce's personal ability.

But one day I really met a team with a very good talent, whether it was height or strength stronger than my own team, can I still score so easily

? I didn't expect that this person in front of me could see the problem at a glance only through a simple attack that was too simple to be able to attack simply, how keen is this person's sense of smell?

It is worthy of the coach's father, it is really impressive!

Thinking of this, everyone showed an extremely admiring look, and even Su Ce, who was still irritable just now, admired Mark at this time.

Mark saw that everyone's eyes softened, smiled slightly, and said, "Then let's go back, No. 7, think about it again this time, you want to play this ball like this

?" Su Ce asked tentatively: "Give him the ball?" Pointing at Ye Su, he said.

Mark gave a thumbs up and said, "That's right, what about after passing it to him, what will you do next

?" Su Ce said quickly: "Go to his original position, move to the left, pull the defense away, and form a one-on-one opportunity

!" Mark shook his head and said, "Nonono, this is two

steps later!" Su Ce asked curiously: "Two steps later?"

Mark nodded and said: "The position of No. 4 is very dead, and he can't easily come over to catch the ball at the first time, so if he wants to successfully come out to catch the ball, he needs No. 15 under the basket to come up and make a no-ball cover for him!"

Ye Su Xi inertia a reverse run, a twist, with the help of Mark's body to slip out, and then along the three-point line to catch the ball.

Feng Zikun also understood that he played the role of defending Mark, changed his guard in an instant, and quickly chased after Ye Su.

However, due to the formation of a time difference, Ye Su still received the ball easily.

Mark said: "Very good, the next step, what you have to do is to observe the opponent!" ran to Su Ce's position and said: "

The one who defends you in front of you is No. 16, and the one who defends No. 4 is No. 12, what you have to do at this time is to play with No. 4 who holds the ball!" Su Ce nodded, this tactic is familiar to him, Anna once taught it when he played Mukden, and the two of them executed it quite well at that time.

Mark said again: "You block, he passes, you run, he passes!" If the opposite side takes the bag clip, what you have to do is to find the position of No. 15 as soon as possible, catch his cover and wait to catch the ball and shoot, if the opposite side does not choose the bag clip, then the first thing you have to do is also run out!"

Su Ce asked curiously: "Running out, why not go straight to the basket?"

Mark said: "You're wrong, it should be him who goes straight to the basket!" Pointing at Ye Su, he said: "No. 4 should go straight to the basket, because his height and weight are not as good as his No. 16, at this time, the bigger

the small, the closer to the basket, the greater the chance of scoring!" "And what you have to do is to form a small and big opportunity outside the three-point line, make full use of your dribbling and footwork, throw off the defenders in front of you, and form a three-point opportunity!" Mark said quickly: " That's why I denied the way you scored under the basket, because that's just stupid!"

Su Ce understood and stared at Mark in front of him with wide eyes.

Obviously, if that attack had been according to him, it would have been a very good attack.

If the opponent does not choose to wrap the clip, Ye Su can directly rely on his body and speed to forcibly carry Guo Wei into the basket to score, with his ability and height, Guo Wei will definitely not be able to prevent it.

And because Guo Wei was defending after Ye Su's body, unlike the position he stood in advance like defending Jia Ming just now, at this time, Ye Su could easily force himself into the basket through speed, body or rhythm conversion.

On the other hand, even if this ball is given to himself, against an interior player like Feng Zikun, he is at least 80% confident that he can easily score 3 points, and the other 20% also includes the situation of not scoring a shot.

Of course, only a family like him can cultivate a talented coach like Anna.

Mark said again: "The only situation that can allow you to quickly go straight to the basket is that the opposite side chooses to change the defense around the screen, so that there is a time difference between you and No. 16, you can make full use of your own speed to go straight to the basket, and then attract the flank to cover the defense, and pass the ball to No. 15 who just covered No. 4 outside the left three-point line!"

With Wu Xining's quick translation, everyone present was in an uproar again.

It is true that this was an extremely wonderful attack, and the three possible situations were analyzed and dealt with in detail, and everyone seemed to have entered a larger palace after entering the palace led by

Anna! No wonder the coach would let his father come to watch us train on the spot, it turned out to be guiding us!

Looking at Anna with an excited face on the side, everyone once again felt a look of gratitude in their hearts.

Although she is a native of the United States, she is wholeheartedly for our Chinese team. She is just an exchange student from the United States, but she regards this place as her home, and she pays silently for this family wholeheartedly, even if she wins the provincial championship, even if she receives everyone's attention and respect, she is still not the slightest complacent, but is still trying to find a way to make our team better. As a coach, she is still like this, so why don't we work hard?

Mark said solemnly: "I have always underestimated Huaxia's basketball before, until Anna told me that I became the coach of the basketball team, I still have a trace of disdain in my heart, thinking that Huaxia's basketball is just like this, thinking that she is just a petty fight when she is this coach." But when she sent me the video of your game, I found that I was wrong, completely wrong, so I want to solemnly apologize to you, and solemnly apologize to Huaxia basketball.

"You are a group of very talented children, and I see in you your hard work and enthusiasm, as well as your dedication and love for basketball. To be honest, I haven't seen these things in a long time since I've seen them in the United States!" Mark said again.

Mark said with a smile: "What makes me even happier is that I didn't expect my precious daughter to be able to bring you to this extent, especially when I know what happened to your team before." To be honest, I have never allowed her to devote all her energy to basketball like me and her mother, and now it seems that I was wrong, she is very talented in this area

, and I am very proud of her!" Su Ce smiled and said: "Sir, your daughter is the best I have ever seen, and our whole team is very grateful

to her!" Mark nodded and said gratefully: "She chose to come to Huaxia to study by herself, and I also want to thank everyone for taking care of her." The

crowd immediately shouted, "No, no, this is all as it should be." "

Anna is like our family!"

"We are very happy to have her on the team, she has taught us so much. Similar

voices echoed through the gymnasium.

Anna was a little moved, her eyes were wet, she thought that everyone would resent her usual training too harshly, but she didn't expect everyone to be so sure of herself.

Thinking of this, Anna couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you." Everyone

immediately developed a gentlemanly demeanor, and began to comfort me with every word.

Mark said with a smile: "With your current strength, you can win the provincial championship in Fengtian 29 Middle School, it is really deserved, even if you fight again, you will still win."

"But there are still some details and some Xi problems that need to be corrected, because on the way to the national competition, you may encounter all kinds of strange teams, or teams with similar styles to yours, so at this time we have to fight who does the best in the details." Mark said again.

Everyone nodded, looking at Mark convincingly.

Mark smiled again and said, "But you can rest assured, these problems are all on me!"

When everyone heard this, is Mark willing to coach himself?

It is true that although Anna is already very powerful, after all, she is inexperienced, and she is more than a star and a half worse than Mark.

The willingness of a professional coach of the University of America basketball team to coach us is something that no one could have dreamed of.

Su Ce's face was excited, and he couldn't help but glance at Ye Su, only to see that his face was also very excited.

Under the joint leadership of Mark and Anna, we will definitely be able to add the icing on the cake and conquer the whole country this time.

The national competition, I'm coming!

--

The author has something to say:

Haha, it's time for the national competition, and you need a coach with a better B point, isn't it~ Also, the second volume has been opened today, I hope it won't be too messy.
