Chapter 32: Basketball Introductory Teaching
There are less than three days left before Lan Shengli's first interview with the UCLA basketball team. In order to allow Lan Shengli to fully prepare within this limited time, Byron deliberately found a heavyweight guest—a former member of the Chicago Bulls championship team. Team starting guard - Ron Harper.

After Byron and Lan Shengli came to the basketball training school founded by Harper, Byron first told Lan Shengli about Harper's career, and Lan Shengli was also amazed.

After all, I encountered a big name like Harper in my basketball introductory teaching, which seemed a little stressful.

"What are you two talking about~!? Catch the ball~!!"

While speaking, Harper had already changed into his training uniform, came to the court, and suddenly passed a basketball to Lan Shengli.

Harper changed into shorts and shorts, and saw that his figure was still very strong, and it seemed that he was not much different from the previous playing era.

Perhaps it has something to do with Harper's hard work and self-discipline over the years.

"We~~, let's start~!?"

Lan Shengli became suspicious.

Lan Shengli, wrapped in thick clothes, formed a very sharp contrast with Harper, who was lightly dressed.

"What's your name~!?"

Harper walked over, pointed at Lan Shengli, and asked.

"Just call me Blue~~Coach Harper~~"

Lan Shengli held the basketball and said.

"Bru, I heard Byron said that you don't even understand the basic basketball rules, but you can instantly analyze the tactical changes on the court, as well as the corresponding tactics and employment strategies. It’s false, since you don’t even understand the basic rules, then don’t talk about tactics, start from the basics first~!!”

Harper pinched his waist with both hands, and said like a coach.

"Okay, Coach Harper, it's all up to you, so much trouble~!"

Lan Shengli's attitude is still very humble.

"First of all, I will start with the most basic rules, give me the ball~!!"

As Harper said, Lan Shengli passed the ball back to Harper.

Lan Shengli's basic introduction to basketball has officially begun.

"The meaning of the three-step basket is ~~~"

"This is the three-second zone. Defensive players are defending~~, offensive players are attacking~~~, of course, many rules are different in college games, so you'd better remember them all~!!"

"This is the second dribble. In this way, it is a violation of dribbling too high, and this is a violation of walking~!"

Every rule of Harper is a personal demonstration.

Lan Shengli's focused eyes had also been staring at him closely.

On weekdays, Lan Shengli used to be a teacher to teach other students. Now, Lan Shengli has become a student, absorbing new knowledge.

"Harper looks like a rough guy, but he was very careful and patient when he started class~~ Haha, it seems that I found the right person~!!"

Byron, who was watching from the side, sighed.

"The basic rules are these, and there are many detailed rules. Go to my office in a while, and I will give you a book. It is written in detail. You are not an interview referee anyway, so you don't need to understand all the rules, but Basically, you should know everything~!!"

After a while, Harper stopped teaching and said.

Maybe it's also because of his age. After doing a few layups and turning back, Harper is already showing some signs of sweating.

"Okay, Coach Harper, thank you for your hard work~!"

Lan Shengli said with a smile.

"Okay, you can digest these things first, rest for a while, I will go to the bathroom~~"

Harper said and left the field.

"Well, in fact, these basic rules are easy to understand~!!"

Byron walked up, handed Lan Shengli a bottle of water, and asked.

"Well~~, I learned a lot, that's it~, that's it~~"

Lan Shengli seemed to be worried again.

"What's the matter~!?"

Seeing this, Byron asked with a puzzled expression.

"I just don't know how much learning these things will help me in my interview. I think the interviewer will not be stupid enough to ask me some basic rules of basketball games~!!"

Lan Shengli explained.

"Hi~~, buddy, I thought you were confused about what, learning basketball straight to the rules, isn't it just to make you more confident and have more room to play when you participate in the interview, really~~"

Byron said disdainfully.

"That's right, hey~~ I don't want to think so much, let's take one step at a time~~"

Lan Shengli wasn't thinking too much either.

"Come on, strike while the iron is hot, it's almost time for lunch~!"

Here, Harper also came back from the bathroom, and Lan Shengli's introductory study started again.

"The big player screens, and then~~~~, this is called a pick-and-roll tactic~~"

"This place is called high position, this place is called status~~~"

"Five players on the field each mark one player, this is called man-to-man defense~~"

"And the tactic of shrinking to the free throw line and rotating the defense of the ball holder is the zone defense~!"

After talking about the basic rules, Harper started talking about tactics again.

As an NBA player for more than ten years, Harper must have "preserved" many tactics in his mind, but for Lan Shengli, he only needs to explain the most basic rules clearly.

Lan Shengli listened carefully to the lecture, and at the same time wrote down the important parts in his notebook with a pen. It is said that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen.

Because Lan Shengli and Byron came later, they talked directly and then practiced until four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Okay, I'll stop here today, if you don't understand anything, you can call me, Byron has my number~!!"

Harper put the basketball in the basket and said.

"Okay, thank you very much for coach Harper's guidance today, I really benefited a lot, thank you very much~!"

Lan Shengli bowed ninety degrees and said.

"Basketball still needs to be played after all. The basic knowledge is just a foreshadowing. There is still a long way to go. If you are really ready, you need to absorb and learn slowly~!"

Harper said like a mentor.

"Okay~!! I will~!!"

Perhaps after being guided by a celebrity like Harper, Lan Shengli's tone and state seemed to be more confident and confident.

"Well, I know there is a delicious Chinese restaurant nearby, I treat you, how about we have a meal~!"

Lan Shengli continued to propose.

"I'm not interested in Chinese food~~"

Hearing what Harper said, Lan Shengli immediately became a little disappointed.

"But~~, I am very interested in the fact that someone treats you to dinner~!!"

"Hoo~~"

Harper made an excuse, and let Lan Shengli breathe a sigh of relief~~
"Then let's go, my stomach is already hungry~!"

Seeing this, Byron said excitedly.

Just like that, the three of them packed up and went to the Chinese restaurant recommended by Lan Shengli.

This is the first day of contact with basketball, especially for beginners like Lan Shengli with zero foundation, it should also benefit a lot~~
