Strong Offense and Defense

"What? You want to throw up? Every girlfriend of mine likes me carrying them!" Carlo showed a surprised expression.

"...every girlfriend? How many girlfriends do you have?"

Carlo froze for a moment, as if he was really thinking about this question.

"Forget it! Carlo, I'm not your girlfriend, so don't carry me like this! Your shoulders hit my stomach!"

"Then... What's the big deal, I let you sit on my shoulder?"

The image of himself sitting on Carlo's shoulders and going to the zoo to see monkeys appeared in Nie Chuan's mind.

"Wait! Isn't that the point?" Nie Chuan was speechless.

"The point is that today we have to teach you strategy and tactics and your responsibilities as a point guard!"

"'We'? Who else but you?"

"Me and Ewing and Montenegro! Ewing is our shooting guard. After we lost the previous point guard, Coach Gordon tried to let others take this position, but the team's mobility and attack The organization of the initiative has been reduced a lot. And until last year's league, we just entered the top eight and were completely defeated by our opponents."

Carlo showed a disappointed expression.

Only then did Nie Chuan understand that Carlo, Ewing, and Heishan wanted to teach Nie Chuan together because they sincerely hoped that Nie Chuan could integrate into the team as soon as possible and grow to a level that matched them.

This feeling of being expected not only made Nie Chuan feel proud, but also made Nie Chuan feel deeply pressured.

"Where's Reese? Is he going too?"

"Reese?" Carlo shook his head with his pocket in his pocket, "Can you imagine this guy teaching others? He won't teach anyone at all, okay?"

Nie Chuan opened his mouth. Who said Reese can't teach people?

Who would accompany me to practice on that Sunday?

"In your team... Rees hasn't taught anyone?" Nie Chuan expressed deep doubts.

Carlo curled his lips: "If this guy teaches anyone, he will definitely hit the other party so hard that he can't hold his head up?"

Nie Chuan choked up... Indeed, he had experienced this before.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go together!" Carlo raised his arm, resisting the urge to carry Nie Chuan on his shoulder.

When Nie Chuan followed Carlo to the school's outdoor basketball court, Ewing and Heishan were already waiting there.

"Why so slow?" Ewing said dissatisfiedly while chewing gum.

It was probably because Ewing had been mercilessly yelling at Nie Chuan during the last confrontation with Black Mountain, which made Nie Chuan a little afraid of him.

"Hey, chew so much gum, be careful of getting cancer." Carlo raised his chin and said.

"Don't worry, even if I have cancer, I will live longer than you!"

After speaking, Ewing ran up to Nie Chuan and put his arm on Nie Chuan's shoulder.Although he is the shortest among Carlo and Reece, he has 180 three-pointers by visual inspection. Nie Chuan's combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as Ewing's, so he feels pressure.

"That idiot Carlo, I'm sure I can't teach you well. At least I got a good grade in my subjects last semester! Come on, let me tell you about the so-called point guard. When you were in middle school, you played in China. Basketball?"

"Yeah, I did."

"What position do you play?"

Nie Chuan shook his head: "There is no specific location."

Originally thought that Ewing was going to start scolding again, but he nodded clearly: "As long as you play basketball in middle school, you should be happy and happy, and you don't have to be so particular about it. But the college league is different. Although many people are eager to play in the league. He is a newcomer and is favored by nba teams, but the point guard is the most low-key of all positions, because he is the last scorer in a basketball team. When his teammates on the field have better scoring opportunities than him, He'll get the ball out. But even if it's low-key, there's a low-key luxury. A good point guard is not just a strong backup on the perimeter, but a sharp knife into enemy territory."

Nie Chuan was quite familiar with the responsibilities of a point guard, and it didn't take much effort to understand what Ewing said.

But when it comes to basic coordination methods and tactical explanations, Nie Chuan struggles to understand.

His English is at the upper level among Chinese international students, but when it comes to basketball expertise, his English is not enough.

Fortunately, when it comes to cutting pass coordination and long pass fast break, Ewing will direct Carlo and Montenegro to demonstrate to Nie Chuan.Although Nie Chuan knew all these things, it was still very important for Ewing to sort them out systematically.

It's just that when it comes to single center offense, double center offense, and mobile offense, even though Ewing carefully drew pictures on the ground, and even let Carlo and Montenegro run and stand on the field, Nie Chuan still tilted his head in understanding It looks like I can't.Especially when Ewing mentioned who passed the ball to whom, who covered who and then who turned around to attack or pass, Nie Chuan completely entered the state of flying.

And the plane no longer knew where it was going.

Ewing was obviously distressed as he patted his head, and Nie Chuan was also worried that he would lose his temper at him.

But unexpectedly, Ewing didn't have the slightest bit of resentment towards Nie Chuan. He just kept changing the way of explaining, and his originally fast speaking speed slowed down.This moved Nie Chuan a little. He thought Ewing was an impatient guy, but in fact, he was easy to get along with.

"Hey——Ewing, didn't you say that you have the highest IQ among us? Why is Alan still ignorant? These offensive tactics are often used in our team!" Carlo came over .

Ewing knocked him hard on the head: "I can make Alan half-knowledgeable, but you can only make Alan completely incomprehensible, so my IQ can at least crush you! Do you have any objections to this?"

"...No...no objection..."

"Very good." After finishing speaking, Ewing took out his mobile phone and made a call, but the person he communicated with surprised everyone, "That Reece... are you still busy?"

Carlo hurried over to listen, and Nie Chuan also pricked up his ears.

"Well, my seminar isn't over yet. What's the matter?"

"Oh...we are teaching Allen's offensive tactics! The first half went smoothly, and the second half involved players' shifting and coordination. It might be good if we can combine the video of the game to explain, but it takes so much It’s difficult to select a typical corresponding cooperation in the game, right?” Ewing’s voice showed a lot of respect for Rees, “And if someone can explain it to Allen in Chinese, he should understand it faster. ?”

Carlo nodded vigorously.

And Nie Chuan also became nervous.Ewing wants Reese to teach Nie Chuan, is Reese willing?

"My discussion class will be going on very late today. You asked Nie Chuan to come to my room at eight o'clock after dinner."

Ewing's eyes lit up immediately: "Are you willing to teach Allen?"

"Isn't there a practice match on the weekend?"

"Haha, yes!"

"That's it."

Before Ewing could say another word, Reese hung up the phone.

"Alan! You are so lucky! Reese is willing to teach you himself!" Ewing excitedly gave Nie Chuan a big bear hug.

And Carlo looked at Nie Chuan in surprise and said, "I'm still waiting for Ewing to be rejected! Why did Reese agree? I don't think he has taught others!"

Ewing turned around and punched Carlo on the head again: "If it was you, an unreliable idiot, of course he would refuse!"

Heishan, who had been standing not far away, walked up to Nie Chuan and said seriously: "Alan, Rees doesn't like others being late. Remember to be on time."

"Oh well!"

"Don't be afraid, I will personally escort you there!" Carlo said.

"……I'm not afraid……"

So that night, Nie Chuan and Zhou Bin went to Reese's student apartment after dinner in the restaurant.

Reese's apartment conditions are obviously much better than those of himself and Zhou Bin.

When Nie Chuan came to the door of Reese's room, he felt nervous about being interviewed by the teacher after failing the monthly high school exam.He let out a breath, walked around the door of Reese's room twice, and finally made up his mind to knock on the door, but the door opened before his fingers touched it.

Reese's slender figure in a T-shirt and slacks appeared in front of Nie Chuan, holding a mug with coffee in his hand.The mist of coffee curled up, and Reese's brows and eyes softened.

The whole picture is like a movie poster.

Rees lowered his head and looked at Nie Chuan: "Why are you walking around the door so many times?"

"You... how did you know?"

"I saw your shadow in the crack of the door."

Rees turned around and let Nie Chuan in.

As soon as he entered, Nie Chuan saw the sofa.At this moment, he could imagine how Reese was sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee slowly, while looking at his own shadow in the crack of the door with raised eyebrows.

It's really embarrassing...

Reese's room was neat.

This is a suite, with two rooms and a living room. Compared with the room of myself and Zhou Bin, it is much more advanced, and it pays more attention to personal privacy. Of course, the price must be expensive.

The living room is clean and tidy, without the smelly socks, discs, and snack bags flying around like in the boys' dormitory.

This made Nie Chuan faintly wonder if Rees is a Virgo?

"That... will your roommate come back?"

"I don't have a roommate yet." Reese turned around and sat casually on the coffee table in front of the sofa, his legs stretched out naturally, and his calves easily leaned against Nie Chuan's.

Nie Chuan originally wanted to move his legs, but this behavior seemed to dislike Reese, so he could only sit there with his legs stiff.
