I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 58 The Great General is Back
When Chu Xiao lamented that the past cannot be traced back, Xiao blew the whistle for the test, and saw Arenas quickly move around the four points in the penalty area, and touched the red obstacle at the end in a few blinks of an eye. It took 11.67 , and then he performed a three-quarter sprint in 3.78 seconds.

"It's a little slower than the peak period." Xiao came to report in front of the Zen master, "He used to move at four points in the three-second zone in 10.50 seconds, and the three-quarter sprint time was 3.27 seconds, almost the same as Ross's speed."

"Slowness is for sure. After all, I'm 30 years old, so it doesn't hurt." Zen master said to Xiao, "You continue to test the remaining four people, and let Arenas come over."

"Okay." Shaw called Arenas over, but he stayed where he was and continued to train others.

Arenas trotted over, ran to the front, and greeted the Zen master very politely, "Hello, coach!" Then he nodded to Chu Xiao, which was regarded as meeting him.

"Hello!" Master Zen responded, then pointed to his side and said, "This is Chu Xiao, the team's starting point guard."

"I've seen his games. He's fast, powerful, and outstanding in singles. He's amazing!" It can be seen that Arenas answered seriously, not as if he was perfunctory.

Zen Master nodded in agreement, "Very good, next I hope you two can fight one-on-one, and let me see if you can still adapt to NBA-level confrontation."

"Okay, no problem!" Arenas looked at Chu Xiao and found that Chu Xiao was about 5 centimeters taller than him, but he agreed without any hesitation.

Zen Master gave up his position, "There is no referee, you two can start directly."

"OK."

Arenas is the offensive team. He holds the ball outside the three-point line. Chu Xiao stands firm and guards within the three-point line, keeping a step away from him, and does not let go.

Arenas dribbled the ball three times on the spot, looked up at the position of the basket, and then cut to the right wing with the dribble. When he found that Chu Xiao was still one step away from him, he immediately thought of a way to break through.

When defending, keeping one step away from the ball holder is a skill Kobe taught Chu Xiao, because the ball holder may make a large amount of fake moves when passing, so a certain amount of space must be reserved.In this way, if he steps forward, you back up a little bit, and when he backs up, you follow up a little bit, so as to avoid getting too close and being passed by him all at once.Far away, he can shoot directly!
Arenas, who had thought about the way to attack, took his left foot as the pivot point and made a tentative attack with his right foot diagonally forward.

From Chu Xiao's point of view, the opponent is going to break through with the ball, and he should move over to block it in advance. However, he noticed that when Arenas took a tentative step with his right foot, his right hand dribbled. There is a pull back action.

"No, if it's a breakthrough, the dribbling posture should be pushing forward, not pulling back."

Based on this action alone, Chu Xiao concluded that the opponent would pull his body back and then complete a pull-up jump shot, which was his most stable scoring method at his peak.

As a result, Chu Xiao was beyond Arenas' expectation, instead of moving laterally to block it, he shifted his body's center of gravity forward.

But Arenas also has a back trick. He pulls his body back, and instead of collecting the ball with his right hand, he pushes the ball forward obliquely, making the defender think that he is going to continue to act like a man. .

Sure enough, Chu Xiao judged from his posture of pushing the ball forward that he gave up the emergency stop jump shot and continued to break through, so he quickly shifted his center of gravity back.

At this moment, Arenas made a change of hands during the forward process, and when the defender's center of gravity shifted back, he came to his left in an instant, and successfully opened a space between him and the defender. Got a good shot, and he made a decisive jump shot.

Because Chu Xiao was influenced by Arenas' offensive movement, he was tricked to one side, revealing a short gap.However, after all, Chu Xiao was the one who had to fight Kobe one-on-one for an hour every morning. In terms of realistic fake moves, no one could beat Kobe.

Therefore, the number of heads-ups with opponents of Kobe's level has increased, and Chu Xiao is much smarter in defense. He always has a ray of strength when facing anyone, just to deal with the opponent's sudden change of tactics, fearing that he will not be able to do what he wants.

When Arenas flew into the air, Chu Xiao had already stopped moving his center of gravity back.

When Arenas reached the commanding heights and raised his hand to shoot, Chu Xiao also completed the take-off and vacated.

When the basketball left the palm of Arenas and drew a short distance in the air, Chu Xiao finally reached the commanding heights, using the super high bounce and the explosive power of the first-come-first-served, finally touched the basketball with his fingertips epidermis.

Affected by this force, the forward direction of the basketball was slightly deflected, and then it hit the edge of the basket and missed!
"After all, I am 30 years old, and some things can never go back, such as the lack of athletic ability." The Zen master who was sitting next to him watching the battle couldn't help but sigh.

But he then added, "However, he seems to have gotten rid of the problem with his shot selection and started to play with experience. He changed his moves repeatedly when he broke through, which shows that he has become more patient."

Arenas has indeed changed a lot. Although the shooting opportunity he finally won was disturbed, he was not discouraged, and instead asked for another shot.

At his peak, Arenas didn’t have this temper. He would have fun with his shots. If his shots didn’t go well, he wanted to quit the game directly. He never paid attention to rationality. This also greatly affected his offensive efficiency and stability. Criticized.

In the second attack, Arenas still chose to break through with the ball. While advancing, he made an emergency stop with his right foot, and then dribbled the ball behind his back. This time, he opened a step and a half away from the defender. The distance, the space is bigger, quickly raise your hand and shoot.

Chu Xiao recognized that it was a fake shot because the opponent did not take off, but he still stepped forward to block the shot.

After Arenas saw that he had attracted the opponent's block, he immediately used the change of hands to continue to advance. After feeling that he had successfully opened up the distance with the defender, he used his right foot to collect the ball, and then heeled with his left foot. Distance gets a shot.

This time, the defender was left behind, even if the bounce and explosive power surpassed him, it was too late to rush to the front to block the shot.

Therefore, Arenas shot with confidence.

"Snapped!"

The ball is still taken off.

"What's going on?" Arenas was stunned.

Chu Xiao had no choice but to tell the truth, "When you made a shooting action from beyond the three-point line, I already recognized that it was a fake action, so I just pretended to step forward to block the shot, but in fact my feet kept moving."

"But I took off after leaving you behind. Logically speaking, you didn't have time to run to the front to block the shot, but why did you appear out of thin air?" Arenas felt puzzled it's here.

"You just caught a glimpse of me being left behind from the corner of your eye, as if I couldn't catch up to the front. In fact, that was just an illusion deliberately created by me. In fact, I have been following you with small steps, just as your left foot catches When I went up to take off, I immediately walked around in front of you, and then took advantage of the time when you were jumping and only saw the basket in your eyes, and then I took off and blocked the shot, and this was the scene that appeared out of thin air." Chu Xiao patiently explained.

"Hey!" At this point, Arenas had no choice but to give up, "It's really talented people from generation to generation, I can't accept it."

"You must not say that. If you have to say that you are good, the people who practice with me every day are good. If it weren't for their guidance and training, the me a month ago would never be able to defend against the two attacks you just made." Chu Xiao said modestly.

"Oh? Who are you practicing with you every day, so you are so good?" Arenas asked with interest.

"First, Kobe, he challenged me to single-handedly every morning, and then Nash, he practiced with me every evening. Speaking of which, both of them are my masters." When Chu Xiao mentioned the names of these two people, he always A face of respect and gratitude.

Arenas was extremely shocked, took a deep breath, and said after a long time, "No wonder... with these two people as teachers, the ones that are cultivated are not monsters."

"No, no, I haven't done enough." Chu Xiao said again modestly.

Through these two attacks, Arenas has a certain understanding of the young man in front of him. The opponent is not only taller than himself, but also has advantages in age, speed, bounce, and strength. In addition, Kobe's single-handed training , It is almost difficult to break through his defense in the confrontation. This matchup can be said to be lost, but he didn't want to admit defeat easily, so he picked up the ball and came to the top of the arc again, looked at Chu Xiao and said, "I still have There is a special skill, relying on it to become famous, and it is also because of it, even if I have no ball to play now, I am reluctant to leave the league, do you want to see it?"

"Think!" Chu Xiao nodded solemnly, and then returned to the defensive position again. In his impression, Arenas's stunts are mainly the most stable dribble, emergency stop jump shot, realistic fake moves, and the last moment. Celebrate the lore.

I have seen the quick stop jump shot and realistic fake moves just now, and the lore of celebrating in advance at the last moment does not seem to be able to be displayed in the heads-up.Therefore, Chu Xiao really wanted to know what his other special skill was.

So, Chu Xiao stepped steadily, and then kept a good step away from Arenas, waiting for him to start.

1, 2, 3, three seconds later, Arenas started to activate, he dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, then shook his shoulder, pulled out his hand, and made a super long three-pointer, which was beyond Chu Xiao's expectation across the air, drew a perfect arc, and then fell into the basket.

Go in!Hollow into the net!
For this shot, there was no sign before the shot, because Arenas was not facing the basket head-on, but leaned slightly forward on the right side of his body. Anyone felt that he could only break through with the ball next, and it was impossible to force it. Do it yourself.

However, Arenas not only made a shot, but also made a hollow ball. The accident index and speed of the shot were so sudden that Chu Xiao didn't even have time to take off, but chose to stand still and turn his head to send the ball. The basketball got into the net, and he heard a voice in his heart reminding himself——Arenas was very good at throwing such unexpected shots, and at that time, his offensive firepower was not ordinary.

This ball also attracted the attention of Zen Master and other players who completed the four-point movement test in the three-second zone. They have been paying attention to Arenas and Chu Xiao's one-on-one match, and found that he has changed a bit now, and his dribbling is more advanced. His patience and shot selection are more reasonable, but his athletic ability has declined, and he is no longer as brave as he used to be.

While they were sighing, Arenas passed the ball, as if announcing that the former "General" had returned!
