Chapter 221 [Chinese basketball... so strong! ? 】

[Chapter [-] Chinese basketball... so strong! ? 】

The University of Minnesota is located in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

The campus is divided into two campuses: one across the Mississippi River, just minutes from downtown Minneapolis.The other is located in the rolling hills of St. Paul City. Not only has it been rated as the best living environment and the safest area in the United States for many years, it is also the center of commerce, food processing, medical care, technology, media and performing arts in the country. International large companies, including Northwest Airlines, 3M Company, etc.

In the history of the University of Minnesota, there have been 13 Nobel Prize winners, a former Chief Justice of the United States, two former Vice Presidents of the United States, and many corporate tycoons ranked among the Fortune 1 in the United States.

All in all, it shows that the University of Minnesota is a famous school with strong comprehensive strength.

Although the school has a long history and impressive educational achievements, it is worth mentioning that the University of Minnesota basketball team has never won an NCAA championship in the nearly [-] years since the NCAA was founded.

As time passed, the University of Minnesota's expectations for its basketball team became more and more intense. Otherwise, Smith would not have been able to impatiently bring Wang Zhen and Song Feng to China after discovering Wang Zhen and Song Feng. U.S.

In other words, Smith, an assistant coach of the University of Minnesota basketball team, was very optimistic about Wang Zhen and Song Feng's basketball talents. Of course, what he didn't expect was that these two boys, Wang Zhen and Song Feng, were actually selected for the Chinese Men's Basketball Team. Basketball, and performed very well in the Olympics, which really made him overjoyed.

The villa Smith arranged for the two boys, like the University of Minnesota, is not far from the Mississippi River. The scenery is quite beautiful, and it is only 10 minutes’ drive from the University of Minnesota, which is also more convenient for Wang Zhen and the others to travel between school and home. .

Wang Zhen, Song Feng and Liu Wen were all very satisfied with this arrangement, and the housekeepers and servants selected by Smith were also of very high quality. After resting in the villa for three days, the three boys had already joined the others. It was very pleasant to get along.

On the morning of the report, Smith drove his Lincoln pickup to the residence of Wang Zhen and Song Feng ahead of schedule, and then set off with the three boys in two cars, one in front of the other.

While driving, Smith said to Wang Zhen and Song Feng who were sitting in his car: "The basketball department of the University of Minnesota has never had any glory in history, but as the comprehensive strength of our school is getting stronger and stronger, the basketball department has become more and more prosperous. There are too many expectations. I have been in the position of assistant coach for 17 years. We should have a chance to achieve good results this year, because we not only invited coach Sith, but also this year's freshman Among them, there is also a power forward named Bell, who is a great young man, I believe that with the skeleton composed of you, Song and Bell, our team will perform very well this year!"

"Of course!" Song Feng looked very confident on the side, and began to brag in his very broken English: "With our two brothers, the University of Minnesota basketball team will definitely achieve good results!"

Wang Zhen smiled slightly and said nothing. He didn't know much about the University of Minnesota basketball team, but he did know that the level of the Minnesota basketball team is not top-notch in the NCAA.

Speaking of which, UCLA is the king of the NCAA. It has won [-] championships and even created a miracle of seven consecutive championships. It has sent Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Wharton, Reggie Miller and other kings to the NBA. A superstar is a truly strong team, and Duke University, North Carolina, Kentucky, Kansas, and the University of Connecticut are also top-notch teams.

In front of these powerful teams, what does the Minnesota basketball team mean?
Maybe, the road to the NCAA will be quite difficult, right?

Can I and Song Feng pass this road and step into the basketball temple of the NBA?

As I was thinking wildly, the campus of the University of Minnesota came into view. Countless blond and blue-eyed foreign students, wearing all kinds of fancy clothes, were wandering around the campus.

After registering, Smith drove the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle in which Liu Wen was riding, crossed along the main road of the campus, and soon came to the University of Minnesota basketball stadium.

After getting out of the car, Smith led them through the door, and a small but extremely modern basketball stadium appeared in front of Wang Zhen and Song Feng. Six players who had already changed their jerseys had already started to stand on the other side. Warming up while shooting, seeing Smith coming in, several people greeted Smith one after another.

After responding to his players, Smith turned around: "Wang, Song, here... this will be your training and competition venue from now on! Come on, let me introduce you to your future teammates first!"

With Wang Zhen and Song Feng, Smith walked to the court: "Hey guys, stop for a while, let me introduce two new teammates to you! These two are the defender Wang from China... and the small forward Song! They will play and fight with you in the future, everyone is welcome!"

Six players from the University of Minnesota basketball team came together one after another. A foreign boy about the same height as Song Feng came up with a smile on his face and greeted Wang Zhen and Song Feng enthusiastically: "Hello, I am from the Minnesota basketball team. Captain Huo Huabo, on behalf of the team, I welcome you to join us!"

"My name is Bush!"

"Hi! I'm Horan!"

"I'm Winters!"

"I'm Harding!"

Several players were very enthusiastic and shook hands with Wang Zhen and Song Feng. However, the last black player, who was more than two meters tall and had muscles as strong as iron, came up and said something very unusual. He looked at the two Chinese boys with friendly eyes.

"Chinese? You can play basketball? Well, if you can, prove it to me. As long as you can dunk, then I admit that you can play basketball! Otherwise, I can't accept you as my teammates! Oh , remember, I am Bell!"

Bell! ?
A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Zhen's mouth: So he is the Bell that Smith mentioned!It seems that the physical condition is really quite good!

Wang Zhen wasn't angry, but Song Feng on the other side was very dissatisfied. His English was a little bad, but it didn't affect him at all. He could see from Bell's face that the nigger looked down on him and Wang Zhen, and immediately glared angrily. With a pair of eyes, he looked fiercely at Bell in front of him.

"Bell, pay attention to your attitude!" Smith couldn't help yelling.

Captain Huo Huabo did not say anything. He also wanted to see what the basketball skills of the two Chinese boys in front of him were like.

Wang Zhen smiled and said, "Mr. Smith, I really want to see what Bell's real skills are!"

After saying that, Wang Zhen turned to look at Bell: "Bell, as for dunking, I think that's not a problem. How about you and Song Feng...Song, let's perform together. Well, everyone can do three The dunk action is then imitated by another person. If you can't make the same dunk action as the other person, you lose. What do you think?"

"no problem!"

Bell looked nonchalant. He thought that Song Feng, who was a little shorter than him, would never be able to complete those difficult dunks that he could do.

As for Song Feng, his mind was filled with anger at this moment, so naturally Wang Zhen did what he said.

After 10 minutes, Song Feng and Bell stood in the middle of the court after completing the warm-up, while the others gathered around to watch the fun.

"Hey, Bell, if you lose, you have to invite us out for a picnic!"

"Yeah! We haven't played in a while!"

"That's right! It's a good idea to take advantage of this opportunity to enhance the friendship between the team members!"

Several foreign players said that if Bell lost, they should ask everyone to go out to play. On the contrary, they were embarrassed to ask Wang Zhen and Song Feng who had just met, but both eyes were aimed at Wang Zhen unabashedly. Clearly hoping that he too would come forward and say something.

Wang Zhen turned his head slightly, then smiled and said to Huo Huabo: "Captain, if Song Feng loses, I would also like to invite everyone to go out to play together, what do you think?"

Before Huo Huabo could answer, there were applause and sharp whistles. Several University of Minnesota basketball players all seemed very enthusiastic. No matter what the result of this game was, they would definitely There is a chance to play.

Huo Huabo turned his head and glanced at Smith. Seeing that Smith didn't respond, he said simply: "Okay, we've settled for that!"

It was Bell who performed the dunk first.

Bell, who is more than two meters tall, not only has excellent strength, but also has excellent body coordination and jumping. After a few steps, he easily flew into the air, holding the basketball with both hands and raising it high. The moment it flew in front of the basket, it suddenly slammed down like a violent storm!
Bang!
After the slam of the rim, Bell completed his first dunk, a simple two-handed dunk.

"Crack, clap, clap..."

There was a burst of applause in the basketball hall, including Wang Zhen and Song Feng, who gave the applause to Bell without hesitation.

Bell's dunk was not very difficult, but the advantage was that his dunk was crisp and explosive, and it was like a storm.

Obviously, Bell's dunk was just a test.

This kind of dunk, of course, was not challenging for Song Feng. Song Feng also dunked with both hands easily, but he didn't have the momentum of Bell, nor did he fully express his jumping ability.

Seeing that Song Feng dunked easily, the other players responded with a series of applause as encouragement, but there was obviously some contempt in Bell's eyes.

Naturally, no one would notice the smiles in the eyes of Wang Zhen and Smith. These two people knew very well that Song Feng was hiding his strength, and he might give Bell a good look later.

Bell's second dunk was a back dunk with both hands after turning 180 degrees in the air, but Song Feng still made the same action.

After thinking about it carefully, Bell's third dunk finally started to shine.

After throwing the basketball towards the backboard, Bell strode forward, jumped into the air and caught the basketball in his hand, then made a 360-degree turn, and then used his right hand to stuff the basketball into the basket .

"it is good----"

"Pretty!"

"here you go!"

"handsome!"

The players of the Minnesota basketball team, including Huo Huabo, howled loudly without exception. It has been less than a month since Bell came to the team, but he is already recognized as the number one champion in the team !
After completing the dunk, Bell grabbed the basketball with one hand, walked up to Song Feng proudly, and threw the basketball over: "It's your turn!"

After Song Feng took the basketball, he turned his head to look at Wang Zhen, grinning at the corner of his mouth.

Wang Zhen responded to Song Feng with a smile. Of course he knew very well that although this kind of rebounding and 360-degree turn dunk is not easy, what it shows is nothing more than the player's ability to stay in the air and jump. That's all, no matter how much it is, it still requires some physical coordination, which is really not difficult for Song Feng.

"Clap clap clap!"

Song Feng slapped the basketball a few times, then ran towards the basket.

Throw...dash...jump...catch...twirl...slam dunk!
Bang!
Song Feng dunked the basketball into the hoop without any mistakes, and immediately the basketball hall became extremely quiet.

All the foreign boys stared wide-eyed, staring at Song Feng in a daze.

Beforehand, no one could have imagined that Song Feng could actually complete such a dunk that only Bell could do in the Minnesota basketball team.

Captain Huo Huabo couldn't help muttering: "Chinese basketball...is... so strong!?"
