Chapter 14 V.15: Being a Coach

After clarifying the goal for the first game of the winter league, the basketball team of Xiangshan Middle School has added more unity and hard work than before. Not only do they train intensively for one hour after school every day, but they can also be seen exercising in the morning and evening. The basketball team of Xiangshan Middle School has gradually become a hot spot on campus.

"No, no, you can't all come in." Yang Hao blocked a few students at the entrance of the basketball hall, "Student, today's collective training is about to start, I'm very embarrassed if you insist on coming in."

"Oh? Is it difficult?" A tall girl with long hair and shawl flicked her bangs in disdain and said, "Who doesn't know that our Xiangshan Middle School basketball team has just been established for less than a week? It's really impolite to set up an archway to put on airs so soon. ...Other associations invite us to the Xiangshan Newspaper to interview us, and we may not necessarily go there."

"Newspaper?" Ling Lan came from the side and asked with a book in her hand, "Senior Yang, what's going on here? Who are they?"

Before Yang Hao could speak, the high-spirited female student just stepped forward, stared at Ling Lan, who was as tall as her, and said, "Oh, this is the manager of our Xiangshan Middle School's new basketball team... one year (7 years) ) classmate Hua Linglan, hello, I am Shi Qianqian, a student reporter from Xiangshan Newspaper, I..."

Before Shi Qianqian finished speaking, Linglan and Yang Hao had already turned around and left. Shi Qianqian was so angry that Shi Qianqian stomped on the spot and immediately rushed to the front of Linglan and said, "Hey! How rude!"

"What's the matter? Student Shi Qianqian?" Ling Lan handed Yang Hao the information in her hand and asked, "The basketball team's training camp is about to start. Also, please change your sneakers when you enter the hall. Thank you."

Shi Qianqian looked down at her shoes, then raised her head and said, "I'm a reporter from Xiangshan News, and I'm here today as a reporter for the school's basketball team to interview you and the team members. I'm also responsible for the follow-up report on the Xiangshan Middle School basketball team. So Hua Lily of the Valley, you have to cooperate with me as much as possible."

"Stand, get out, get out, go!" Ling Lan stretched out her hand and pushed Shi Qianqian's shoulder, trotted and pushed her out of the basketball court abruptly, then said, "Interviews are fine, follow three points, and enter the hall to change shoes , Don't interrupt during training, don't post random news that the basketball team doesn't allow, OK?"

Shi Qianqian was so angry that her eyebrows were erected, but there were many other students watching in front of her, so she could only agree to Linglan first.After a while, the players lined up, and Ling Lan walked to the center line of the court and took out the materials and said, "Everyone, the custom-made basketball team uniforms and basketball shoes have arrived, everyone will get yours later to see if there is anything inappropriate to tell me or the hour... Here I would like to thank classmate Xiao Zhu, he sponsored the team 2000 yuan as a fund, classmate Xiao Zhu~"

"Wow, Xiao Zhu is amazing!" "Hehe, really good." "Thank you, Xiao Zhu!" The team members expressed their gratitude to Zhu Chengshao one after another, but Zhu Chengshao seems to have not fully recovered from the loss in the last game. Nod slightly.Linglan went on to say: "The winter league will be held at the beginning of next month. Our Xiangshan Middle School will face the nearby Qingyu Middle School in the first round. Please note that this is an official game. There are four quarters with a total of 40 minutes. It takes more than double the time for the team confrontation match...so it is very important for everyone to maintain their physical fitness, and we will have physical exercise every day!"

The team members looked at me and I looked at you with anticipation. After Ling Lan finished speaking, Ye Fan stepped forward and said: "Then let's start today's training, first of all is the warm-up exercise."

"Yes!" Everyone looked very motivated, Ling Lan walked to the side, waved and shouted: "You idiot, come here."

"I..." Meng Xiaodong came over scratching his head in a dazed expression. Ling Lan picked up a basketball from outside the sideline and threw it to him and asked, "How is your ball handling and dribbling practice? Take a picture and see." .”

Holding the basketball in both hands, Meng Xiaodong froze for a long time and slapped it on the ground twice, then dribbled the ball with his left hand on the spot. Although he had improved a little compared to before, in Ling Lan's eyes, he still had the same posture as a primary school student, deadlocked and disharmonious.Ling Lan squatted down and took out a copy of "Basketball Basic Action Guide" from her backpack and handed it to Meng Xiaodong, "You first imitate the guided actions in this book to dribble, and remember to dribble with five fingers instead of the palm of your hand."

"Why..." Meng Xiaodong sat on the floor and flipped through a book and asked, Ling Lan simply sat cross-legged in front of him, stretched out her five fingers and pressed on the basketball and said: "Because the palm of the hand touches the basketball, the friction will increase and it is easy to make mistakes... ...you hold out your hand."

Meng Xiaodong stretched out his left hand with half understanding, Ling Lan pinched his wrist and separated the five fingers one by one and said, "You dribble with your left hand? Oh, you shoot with your left hand... Remember, as long as you rely on these few Fingertips and wrists; if you swing your arms to dribble, it's hard to control the basketball and you get tired."

Ling Lan pinched Meng Xiaodong's hand and didn't notice that everyone on the court stopped staring at them, and it took a long time before she raised her head and shouted: "What are you looking at! Practice your own! Let's run the court again. Ten laps!" As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately went to practice seriously.

"Pfft..." Lan Shiu, who was standing beside her, covered her mouth and said with a smile, "It's the first time I've seen Sister Linglan teach people so carefully...Come on, Brother Xiaodong."

Meng Xiaodong couldn't help blushing and quickly withdrew his left hand to press the basketball and said, "Use your fingers and wrist... so, I probably will..."

"Not probably!" Ling Lan knocked on Meng Xiaodong's forehead and said, "You must master the dribbling skills, you don't have much time left, you idiot."

Meng Xiaodong looked at the book half-comprehensively, stood up and slowly separated his left and right feet, then patted down the ball with his left hand, the basketball bounced off the ground and landed on his right hand; then Meng Xiaodong patted the ball on the floor with his right hand Bounce and land on your left hand, just dribble back and forth a few times like this.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ling Lan stood up, patted his pants and pointed to his left and right knees, "It's just right for you to bend your knees to dribble left and right, pay attention to every time you use your strength, it won't work if you don't use your strength, you know?" ?”

Next, under Ling Lan's careful guidance, Meng Xiaodong seemed to have found the skill of dribbling with left and right hands. During the rest of the training period, everyone received their own jerseys and basketball shoes. Li Ying couldn't wait to get fully armed. Number 1 is very cool. "Yo Xi, the rookie king is born again!" Li Ying put on brand new equipment and couldn't wait to jump on the court a few times. Ling Lan saw Zhu Chengshao standing in the corner holding her 32 jersey, so she walked over and patted him on the shoulder He grinned and asked, "Xiao Zhu, are you satisfied with your jersey?"

Zhu Chengshao pinched his jersey and nodded lightly. Lily Lan walked up to him and asked, "Student Zhu is very tired from training today. Is it because he didn't eat enough at noon? Hehe"

Zhu Chengshao lowered his head and remained silent for a while before he said: "I lost the game...I, I'll give you some more money for the basketball team, okay?"

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Ling Lan had expected Zhu Chengshao's words, and said with a disgusted expression, "Student Zhu, no matter how much money you pay, you only have one chance to compete..."

"It's all my fault..." Zhu Chengshao turned his face to the side, "I'm useless, I can't make a single shot..."

"Little Zhu." Ling Lan looked at Zhu Chengshao calmly and said, "Do you know that besides scoring, there are several positive statistics on the basketball court?"
