Dreams start with basketball

Chapter 78 Iverson Spirit

Swish, the three-pointer shot up and down, and made a three-pointer from a long distance away from the three-point line. This gave too much sensory stimulation to the students off the court.

"Sure, really accurate," said a little fat man wearing glasses off the court.

"Yeah, two three-pointers in a row. Twelve to eight. The score is now wide open. Tian Cong actually wants to defend against Xia Tian alone. His height alone is much worse. What's more, Xia Tian's historical level Bounce," said a classmate next to the little fat man.

Tian Cong looked at the bouncing basketball under the basketball hoop with some regret: "Maybe we shouldn't have put it so far away", but he knew that the reason why he put it so far was because he was afraid, and he was really afraid. , he was afraid that after he was passed by Xia Tian, ​​and then dunked successfully, he would become the background board.

So he was persuaded, for this kind of summer who can make three-pointers, he was really convinced, he was really convinced, he looked down at the floor, and slowly walked towards their frontcourt.

The teammates behind him kept calling him to come back and prepare to serve, but Tian Cong didn't seem to hear him, and continued to walk forward. He had no choice but to let Chen Cheng dribble the ball to half court for Tian Cong.

"Beep" Coach Li Jian called a timeout again. He didn't say anything else, but called Tian Cong over. Tian Cong still didn't hear it at first. When Chen Cheng walked over, he patted Tian Cong on the shoulder. It was only then that he realized that Coach Li Jian was calling him to go over, and he felt terrified.

"I don't know if it's because of this ball," Tian Cong thought to himself.

"Tian Cong, come here." Coach Li Jian waved to Tian Cong, who reluctantly walked over.

"Practicing basketball seems to be three years or almost four years." Coach Li Jian asked with a smile.

"Yes, coach, I started training before the first day of junior high school." Tian Cong replied in a daze, he didn't know what the coach meant by asking this suddenly.

"It's been four years, and I've played pretty well with basic skills, solid, and solid defense, but your height limits you"

"Coach..." Tian Cong felt that the situation was not good. Among the 15 people present, almost everyone was above 1.8 meters 1.7. Either they were in good health, or they were only [-] meters [-]. Seriously. It lowered the height of everyone.

"Wait, after I finish asking, do you know what your shortcomings are?" Coach Li Jian asked again.

"Small, he is easy to be targeted by the opponent on the field, and he is regarded as a weakness on the defensive end. Moreover, his height will cause many balls to be unable to breathe out in time, and his strength is also weak." Tian Cong thought for a while, one hundred and fifty Said.

"Okay, you can see clearly, young man." At first, Coach Li Jian thought that with Tian Cong's rather haughty personality, he would be embarrassed to talk about his shortcomings of being short, but he didn't expect him to point out all of them.

"Tell me about your strengths." Coach Li Jian continued, "Come down and have a rest and drink some water." After speaking, Coach Li Jian said to several people on the field. Everyone didn't hear Coach Li Jian say the word rest, I absolutely dare not end.

"My strengths and weaknesses are also relative. Because I am short, my speed will be more advantageous, and I will also have an advantage in steals," Tian Cong said honestly.

"Do you know Allen Iverson".

"Of course, coach, that's my favorite NBA star"

"Why do you like him"

"Because he has no solution on the offensive end, and he has a spirit of not giving up, and a distinct self"

"The never-say-die spirit? Tell me about it," Coach Li Jian said pretending to be puzzled.

But Tian Cong didn't notice, and continued to say, "Hey, coach, I am very familiar with Allen Iverson. He is too strong. He is 1.8 meters tall, with an average height of nearly two meters. He is tall and tall. The NBA has survived, won four NBA scoring titles, three steals titles, was selected to the NBA's All-NBA Team three times, entered the NBA All-Star Game eleven times in a row, and was selected to the NBA's All-NBA Team three times, etc. won by a smaller player”

"I won't mention these honors for the time being. Tell me about the never-say-die spirit you just mentioned." Coach Li Jian cut off Tian Cong's speech firmly. up.

"I always think that Iverson is a resolute fighter, a proud fighter, he can lose, but he will never bow his head in front of his opponent, he can accept all the suffering, he can accept poverty, just like Iverson The 76ers team in the NBA at that time was an out-and-out weak team. He won the No. 2002 pick and signed Iverson, allowing him to start from the bottom of the NBA and move towards his dream step by step. He can accept Failed, in [-], it was the first time he entered the NBA Finals, playing O'Neal and Kobe, who are known as Sharks and Peter Pan.

That year he lost to the Zijin Dynasty and the invincible Lakers, but he told the world that as long as he is given a chance, let him fight to the fullest, as long as he shows his scoring ability, even if he loses It doesn't matter, but he is afraid that everyone will deprive him of his pride, trample his pride on the ground, tell him that he is just a member of mortals, or you tell him that he is old, these are things he can't stand That’s right, even if he really loses the speed and explosive power that his career depends on, he will not choose to play as a substitute. He is too proud. He is the most laughable scoring leader in NBA history. In the shortest body Here, with the sharpest edges and corners, everything he does on the court, and such a short Shen Caixia keeps shooting and scoring, his unreasonable shot selection, but makes the opponent helpless when he hits. He is so deviant, but it is also because of his deviant that everyone knows him.Iverson once said that he hopes that he will be called a misunderstood person on his epitaph in the future. The world cannot understand his words, so he would rather live alone.Iverson has become a symbol of all those shocking words that make people love and hate. He is courage, arrogance, responsibility, commitment, grunt, persistence, and a warrior who knows no way back. People who are familiar with Iverson We all know that there is a word Zhong on his neck, so we fans say Zhong AI all his life, Iverson's I has always been at the top of his name, I means me, I means self, Iverson's self , his name is an invincible spiritual symbol for our fans."

Coach Li Jian was also amazed. Iverson actually caused Tian Cong to talk so much.

It turned out that everyone leaned over to listen to Tian Cong's speech. After all, everyone is a basketball fan.
