basketball hero

Chapter 64
Ying Xiong told his family about his plan and the situation of the Guangsha team, but his parents disagreed at first.In the eyes of parents, reading is the right way, and playing sports is the meal of youth after all, which is not the right way.What's more, Ying Xiong's grades have always been very good, and he has great hopes of being admitted to an ordinary key university.Just give up your studies and play basketball with an uncertain future. As a rural person who seeks stability, he is somewhat afraid to gamble.

But under Ying Xiong's insistence, his parents finally agreed to him.He has been a very obedient child since he was a child, and it was the first time his parents saw him being so persistent for one thing, so resolute and unwilling to give in.And with his height of nearly 2 meters, it seems a pity not to play basketball. ,

Parents told Ying Xiong that since he chose to take sports, he must work hard and strive to get good grades.

At the end of June, Ying Xiong completed the last exam of his high school career.The moment he walked out of the examination room, he suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.Imagining that my student career is about to end, I am very moved that he, who has studied for more than 6 years, suddenly changed his role and became a professional basketball player.

Ying Xiong's graduation certificate will not be available until next year, and the school has handled the formalities for him to graduate early.With a hypocritical smile, the principal took Ying Xiong's hand affectionately, asking for his health, with infinite hope and concern.But for Ying Xiong, this kind of wolf in sheep's clothing is the most annoying, a typical face of a villain.

In the summer vacation of 2006, Ying Xiong was 18 years old.Shao Ziqiang took him to the Zhejiang Guangsha team in Qiantang.At this time, the Guangsha team is fighting in the NBL, and it is in full swing with other NBL teams.Under the leadership of American coach John Newman, the Guangsha team, composed of domestic basketball players such as Jia Nan, Ma Yukun, and Ju Haipeng, has been in full swing and has an excellent record.The Zhejiang Guangsha team, which was No. 2 in the NBL last season, is very confident in winning the NBL championship this year. It is reported that if the Guangsha team finally wins the championship, they will basically be eligible to enter the CBA.

Shao Ziqiang took Ying Xiong to meet with the senior management of Guangsha.What Shao Ziqiang said before is correct, the Guangsha team values ​​​​Xiong very much, and is very excited that he can play professional basketball games a year in advance.The high-level people said that they will conduct trial training for him in the near future, and if the result is good, they will sign an agreement.After successfully signing the agreement, you can train with the team.A formal contract will be signed during the offseason.

Ying Xiong is very confident in his own strength. He believes that he can pass the trial training smoothly and become a member of the Guangsha team.If I can successfully sign a contract with the Guangsha team, and then the Guangsha team can enter the CBA smoothly, that would be the best result.

The trial training is held in the training hall of the Guangsha team.Before the trial training, the team conducted a simple physical test for Xiong.The results of the physical test are as follows: height 197cm, weight 90kg, arm span 215cm, standing reach 266cm, in-situ bounce 85cm, run-up bounce 95cm, 3/4 standard basketball court: 3.2 seconds.It can be said that Ying Xiong's physical fitness is very good among domestic players.This made Guangsha very satisfied and full of confidence in the trial training.

For Ying Xiong himself, he is very clear that his current physical fitness is not the final version, but will continue to improve with the practice of Wu Qin Xi and the blessing of Bao Li Wan.According to Sun Tzu's statement at the time, when he turned 20, his body would undergo another upgrade.Therefore, he is very confident in his physical fitness. What he needs to do now is to adapt to the confrontation intensity of professional basketball as soon as possible.

The Guangsha team's trial training for Xiong was to have him compete with several youth team members in a 3-on-3 confrontation.Guangsha team assistant coach Chen Daohong, general manager Ye Xiangyu and several other team executives came to the scene to watch the game.

3 vs. 3 Yingxiong is not new at all. He usually plays 3 vs. 3 games with others.But having said that, it was only when he appeared on the court that he realized why the gap between the high school league and even CUBA and professional basketball is so big.

In fact, it has nothing to do with technical and tactical execution. The most obvious gap between amateur players and professional players lies in the physical aspect.Whether it is height, weight, confrontation, or physical strength, they are inferior in all aspects.The most obvious thing is height. In the high school league, Ying Xiong's height of less than 2 meters is taller than the opponent's center forward. The average striker is in his early 180cm.But this kind of height can only play point guard in CBA, because the height of CBA forwards is basically more than 2 meters.Even in CUBA, which is one level higher than the high school league, there are not many centers over 2 meters in height, and basically a height of 2 meters can play a center forward.In the CBA, if you are less than 208cm and play a center forward, you will be bullied to death.Not to mention confrontation and physical fitness. For those who come from professional sports schools, physical fitness is the housekeeping skill.The confrontation is based on physical conditions. Compared with high school players of the same age, the players of the youth team are more than one grade higher.

This is Yingxiong's first confrontation with a professional basketball team.Although the opponent is only a youth team, and his age is about the same as his own, his physical condition is not much worse than his own.In the previous high school league, as long as the opponent didn't double-team me, I could play whatever I wanted.Breaking into the inside line is shorter than him, and his speed can't keep up with him, he can do whatever he wants.But now he is playing 3 teams and 3 with the youth team. He feels the biggest visual impact is that there are more than 190cm defenders, and there is an insider among the other 3 players, with a height of 208cm.

At the beginning of the game, Ying Xiong was a little uncomfortable with the intensity. He was beaten by the opponent a few times in defense, made an offensive mistake once, hit the iron once, and was blocked by the opponent's center once.

Coach Chen Daohong, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, frowned and shook his head slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Ying Xiong's performance.I was a little nervous about going to Yuezhou No. [-] Middle School to inspect Yingxiong's senior management. Ying Xiong was strongly recommended by him, although there was also a friendship between Shao Ziqiang and the team's senior management.But most importantly, the team still values ​​Yingxiong's talent and potential.The team executives value Ying Xiong very much. They don't think that he has the possibility of becoming a parallel importer with that kind of talent and creativity that can be seen with the naked eye.

Ying Xiong was also very depressed. The opponent's defense was very aggressive, with a lot of physical confrontation and a lot of small moves.Although it was 3-on-3, the space on the court was sufficient, but he himself was not in good shape, a little impatient, and his hit rate and turnovers came out.

Ying Xiong knows that trial training is very important to him, because he knows it is important, and he doesn't want to lose the opportunity to show himself, and he doesn't want to disappoint Shao Ziqiang's value and trust in him.Of course, there was a high-intensity confrontation again, so he performed poorly at the beginning.

After all, Ke Yingxiong is not a rookie who only has physical fitness on the first day of playing.I think when he was still in Lingchuan, his height of 160cm still won the No.1 in the county with his excellent dribbling ability and excellent vision.At that time, what he relied on was not his body or luck, but his strength.

Those with strength will not continue to be depressed, but those who rely on luck will only be short-lived.Ying Xiong quickly adapted to the physical strength of the youth team and began to slowly look for opportunities. To put it bluntly, 3v3 is heads-up. Although some pick-and-roll cooperation can be played, due to the small number of opponents, it is difficult for the opponent to change defenses, and it is difficult to get a chance, and eventually it becomes a heads-up.Moreover, Ying Xiong and his teammates on the field had never played any matches before, and the other party seemed unwilling to cooperate, so the game quickly turned into a partial 1-on-1 heads-up.

Although he has good vision and first-class passing skills, Ke Yingxiong's heads-up skills have always been the foundation of his life.It is unimaginable for a point guard without offensive ability to organize an offense.After adapting to the strength of the opponent, he began to exert force.Receive the ball at 45 degrees to the left, and the 195cm player defends him.I saw him make a tentative step, but the opponent didn't move.With a fake shot, the opponent couldn't help jumping up.He strode to the basket and made an easy layup.

Since it is stipulated here that he can continue to serve and attack after scoring a goal, Ying Xiong got the ball again, and this time it was the same person who defended him.

Ying Xiong continued to make tentative steps + fake shots, teasing the opponent's nerves.At this time, the other party gave up and stared at him, not giving him a chance to break through.

Ying Xiong saw the right timing and made a jump shot—a decisive hit!
Yingxiong's team continued to serve, and the ball was in his hands again. This time, he did not continue the attacking method just now, but faced the defender with the ball and kept cross-dribbling.From the front of the body to the crotch, and then to the back.The opponent dare not make a move easily, so as not to foul.

Suddenly, Ying Xiong's center of gravity dropped, one to the left and one to the other, and the opponent's center of gravity immediately moved to the left.At this time, Ying Xiong immediately pulled the ball back, and the opponent seemed to know that he would play like this, and immediately retracted his focus.At this time, Ying Xiong suddenly accelerated to the right, then made an emergency stop, and accelerated again. The opponent could no longer keep up, and could only watch helplessly as he hit the inside line and dunked successfully.

Ying Xiong continued to attack, holding the ball outside the 3-point line, a crossover, easily passed the defender, broke into the inside, and gave the ball to his teammates to score.

In the next offensive round, Ying Xiong made a transformed pull ball + step back, and scored a jump shot.

In the next offensive round, Ying Xiong made a 3-pointer!
At this time, coach Chen Daohong stopped the game!The team's top management and coaches have seen Ying Xiong's offensive talent and technical comprehensiveness as a defender.Defense depends on attitude, offense depends on talent.Without talent, you can't overpower the opponent 1v1, and you can't change the opponent's defense. As a defender, the upper limit is obvious.

Ying Xiong's defensive talent is there. As long as he is willing to spend his energy on defense and the coach gives more guidance, with his wingspan of more than 7 feet and excellent physical fitness, there is no difference.

Therefore, the focus of the Guangsha team corresponding to Xiong is mainly on offense.He did get what he wanted in the high school league, and that can be attributed to the overall low level of the game.But now seeing that he is facing youth team players whose height and antagonism are much higher than those of the high school league, he can still score easily with his excellent offensive skills. This is the biggest gain for the team.

Ying Xiong passed the trial training and the team was very satisfied with his performance.The team signed an agreement with him and officially signed the contract before the start of next season.

Throughout the summer vacation, Ying Xiong did not take a break, and has been training with the youth team players.

In addition to the contract, there are winning bonuses.He was highly valued by the team, and he was directly promoted to the first team. Of course, this has something to do with his own strength, and Shao Ziqiang's support and recommendation are also indispensable.

For Ying Xiong, this is double happiness.He immediately told his parents, Sun Jing and Li Jianwu the good news.

So far, Ying Xiong has officially become a CBA professional basketball player, ushering in another new chapter in his life.
