Strong Offense and Defense

At that moment, Nie Chuan smelled the faint fragrance of Reese's body again.

Obviously he has sweated so much, why hasn't it smelled off?

"What are you thinking?" Rees asked while starting the car.

"I was thinking about...your drawbar for a layup." Nie Chuan didn't dare to say that he was wondering why Reese didn't smell like sweat.

"You know what it takes to pull off a layup?" Reese asked.

Nie Chuan shook his head honestly.

"Strength, jumping, ball control, split-second judgment, and the determination to 'go in'."

Reese's voice is calm at the moment, as if he wasn't the one who completed the pull-up layup under Revan's explosive block.

"Ah."

Nie Chuan didn't have any of these.

"Actually, I could have dunked that ball directly, but I chose a more complicated way. Do you know why?"

Nie Chuan shook his head.

Rees suddenly parked the car on the side of the road, and looked at Nie Chuan: "To let you see clearly."

"Ah? Why did you let me see clearly?"

"To let you know that we can accomplish many things that most people think are impossible for us. In order to make you be shocked by basketball, to make you feel that playing basketball is a meaningful thing, to let you go from Now start to fantasize about yourself."

Inexplicably, Nie Chuan's eye sockets became hot.

From the jumping practice that Reese accompanied him this morning to the game in the afternoon, he actually devoted all his attention to Nie Chuan.

This was something Nie Chuan never expected.

He originally thought that a proud man like Rees only had himself in his eyes, and he would never waste time on others.

But the fact is not the case.

"I'm sorry." Nie Chuan said quietly but seriously.

"Why did you say sorry to me?"

"Because I bit you this morning."

"Although God said that if someone hits me on the left cheek, I should also stretch out the right cheek. But if you dare to bite my other arm again, I will break your teeth."

"Haha..." Nie Chuan laughed.

At that moment, he saw Reese's lips sinking slightly.

It is a very subtle depth, which makes people carefully speculate and appreciate.

"Hey, Reese... do you think if I work hard, I can be as strong as you one day?"

"You can't be as strong as me," Rees replied.

Nie Chuan's face collapsed.

"Because you are Nie Chuan, not Rhys Reddington. You have your own way of being strong. So, if you work hard, you will be as strong as Nie Chuan."

Nie Chuan smiled.

"So Reece, in the league, will there be anyone else as good as you?"

"Of course there is."

Nie Chuan thought that Reese would answer him "impossible".But now, Nie Chuan finally understood that although Rees was proud, he was never conceited.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Then do you think I'm useful for you to defeat such an opponent?"

"If you're useless, Carlo won't keep pestering you."

He felt warm and ready to move in his heart.

Raven is already very strong, but there will still be opponents stronger than him in the league.

Rees had already admitted that they needed him, which was completely unbelievable to Nie Chuan.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"temporarily unavailable."

"Then you can keep eating your chocolate."

"Oh! That's right! My chocolate! It's almost melted by me!"

That night he returned home, according to the method Reese taught him, put the books under his toes, put the computer on the bookshelf, and practiced his calf raise while watching last year's dk basketball game.

At that time, Connor was still on the court.

And Nie Chuan finally understood why Rees and the others trusted Connor so much.He can not only defend the interception with ease, but also can effectively organize the offense. His interception ability is classic, and when he dribbles into the opponent's defensive area, the probability of his pass being intercepted in normal games is very high. Low.Not to mention his off-ball positioning, he can always show up when his teammates need him most.

Throughout the game, Connor barely scored, but he allowed Reese's sprint scoring ability, Montenegro and Carlo's rebounding ability at the basket and scoring ability in the penalty area to the fullest.On the outside, Connor can not only organize offenses, but is also a good scorer.Although his three-pointers are still a certain distance away from the accuracy, they can play steadily.

He's like a bond that connects all the positions.

He is also very mobile, and can act as a small forward at any time to launch a two-line attack with Reese to make the opponent stricken.

After watching the game, Nie Chuan's heart could not be calm for a long time.

Such an excellent Connor, Carlo and the others actually think that he can take his place...

It was the first time that Nie Chuan felt so much pressure.

That night, Nie Chuan played online games for half an hour.

It's just that the games that used to interest him a lot now become dull and can't even arouse his interest.

Nie Chuan turned off the computer, pressed his head, and closed his eyes to see the scene of Reese and Raven's duel.

The tension was like opium, and it made him addicted.

Nie Chuan smiled helplessly, maybe this is the effect Reese wanted to achieve.

Because this day's practice had consumed a lot of Nie Chuan's physical strength, when his head hit the pillow, he fell asleep in three seconds.

Before he knew it, the sound of dribbling and the friction of sneakers against the ground sounded in his ears again.

He opened his eyes and found that he was dribbling, passing two opponents who came to obstruct him in a row, and was about to approach the basket.

At this moment, the teammates around him were all blocked by the opponent. Seeing that the opponent's center was about to confront Nie Chuan, a figure quickly rushed into Nie Chuan's field of vision. It was Rees!

Nie Chuan made a false move and passed the ball. After Reese caught the ball, the opponent's center quickly returned to defense, and the power forward had already jumped up to give Rees a hard block.

Reese, who had jumped up, suddenly retracted his dunk and threw the ball to Nie Chuan who came to his side.

Nie Chuan took off and scored!

He clenched his fists and showed a big smile in mid-air.

The whistle sounded and the game was over.

Nie Chuan spread his arms ecstatically and ran towards Reese, jumping up!

Reese took him up on his back, while Nie Chuan stretched his arms and closed his eyes to feel the cheers of the audience.

I'm so happy!

Happiness came to Nie Chuan's ear, and he rolled out of bed with a "boom -" sound.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts." Nie Chuan propped himself up, only to realize that it was all a dream again.

He quickly lowered his head and looked between his legs... It's okay, okay!Very dry!No need to wash pajama pants!

But his legs were so sore as hell.

Sure enough, the explosive exercises that Reese designed for him worked?

Nie Chuan hit himself on the head with his fist, and he dreamed that he and Rees became partners!

Yeah, this guy isn't as hot as he looks.

On the contrary, he is more serious and persistent than anyone else about the goals he believes.

And Nie Chuan knew that what was missing in his life was precisely persistence.

The weekend passed like this, and Nie Chuan packed his things and returned to school.

At the end of the day's class, Carlo unexpectedly came to Nie Chuan's classroom door to intercept him.

"Hey, Alan, I know the pool sent me to steal your limelight that day, please don't be angry with me! Come practice with me, okay? Montenegro organized a practice match for us, and the opponent was from last year's league. One of the 64 teams, although it is still a lot worse than us, but at least it is worth comparing! This is an informal practice match, and only the four of us are confirmed to participate in the competition, but we hope you can also join!"

"What?" Nie Chuan almost choked himself to death, "What am I going to do?"

"What do you think we are missing now?" Carlo looked at Nie Chuan, his originally loose eyes became extremely serious and oppressive.

"Point guard."

"Yes. Point guard." Carlo's palm rested on his forehead.

"I'm too far away from Connor...I can't do it now..."

"Nie Chuan! If you are far away, just get closer step by step! Besides, this is just a practice match! It's not a regular season! This is your chance to cultivate a tacit understanding with us! Come on, Nie Chuan!"

Nie Chuan's mind once again thought of Reese's pull-bar layup, which was so vivid and profound that it could not be erased.

"Will Reese come too?"

"Of course, he is a good scorer in our team!" Carlo suddenly realized something, patted Nie Chuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid of that guy Rees. He must have agreed to come to you before I came to you."

"When is the practice match scheduled?"

"this Saturday."

Not many days left...

"Come on! Nie Chuan! It will be fun, let's come together!"

Nie Chuan tilted his head and looked at Carlo suspiciously.It was a practice match with the top eight teams in the league, and it was the best time to gain experience. Carlo actually said it would be fun?

"Will I be crushed?"

If it is a team that can stand out from the regional competition, how can it be poor?Even if he didn't have the level of Rees or Ruiwen, he was at least far better than Nie Chuan.

"With us here, how could you be crushed by them? And believe me, you will surprise those guys." Carlo was full of confidence.

Nie Chuan felt like jumping into a pit of fire.

"Okay, I'll give it a try. But you'd better find another person. If I really lag behind, you won't lose too badly."

Although he felt very stressed and felt that the world did not belong to him, Nie Chuan felt an inexplicable longing in his heart when he thought of being able to fight side by side with Rees.

"No! That's great!" Carlo suddenly picked up Nie Chuan and walked around the door of the classroom a few times.

Nie Chuan almost vomited.

"Put me down! I'm going to throw up, Carlo!"
