Strong Offense and Defense

"What to drink? Is coffee okay?"

"Oh, whatever!"

Can Coca-Cola work?The coffee smells fragrant and tastes bitter.

Rees folded his legs slightly, stood up, and walked into the kitchen.

Nie Chuan finally let out a breath.

A few minutes later, Rees came back and put a mug in front of Nie Chuan. Nie Chuan smelled it and looked at Rees in surprise, because it was neither coffee nor cola, but chocolate milk.

Rees didn't take Nie Chuan's surprise into his eyes, and his voice remained calm: "If you still want to grow taller, you should drink more milk."

"Can I grow taller?"

"Maybe?" Reese raised his eyebrows again, making it hard for Nie Chuan to see whether he was serious or teasing himself.

"Back to the topic, Ewing wants me to teach you some offensive and defensive tactics. But tactics don't really have a set template, nor are they static. Tonight, let's analyze last year's league finals. These two teams The teams are all the best in the league, and their coaches have their own strengths in tactical arrangements, but the most important thing is the players' ability to execute tactics."

Reese's voice reminded Nie Chuan of the male anchor of the TV station, without emotional ups and downs, but with a professional filter.

When the game started, Reece was sitting beside Nie Chuan. He said to Nie Chuan: "When you see the team with the blue jerseys, you imagine number four as Montenegro, number five as Carlo, and number eight as me. Number 14 is Ewing, number [-] is you."

"Oh." Nie Chuan nodded.

Rees started to play the video of the game. Whenever an attack or a superb cooperation ends, Rees will stop the video, play it back again, and explain it to Nie Chuan in Chinese and English.

"For example, the 'closed-door tactic' is well applied, but if the defender doesn't get close to his partner in time and quickly, or doesn't keep up with the opponent's attacking rhythm, it will leave a gap for the breaker to pass."

"Ok!"

After watching the actual game scene and listening to Reese's summary, Nie Chuan felt that his brain was very clear.

Reese's explanations are very targeted. In terms of launching and responding to fast break defense, he will focus on explaining what Nie Chuan, as a point guard, should do and how to respond.Destroying and interfering with the opponent's passes and breakthroughs.

When the normal game was over, it was already 10:30 in the evening.

Nie Chuan's eyes were a little tired from watching the video all the time, so he raised his hand and rubbed it.

Reese turned off the TV: "Come here today."

"Oh, thank you!"

"Is there any problem with your legs these two days?" Reese asked suddenly, leaning on the sofa.

"No problem! I'm fine!"

As soon as Nie Chuan finished answering, Reese leaned down, and his left hand covered Nie Chuan's calf above his ankle.

The moment they touched each other, Nie Chuan's tense muscles tensed up.

Reese's fingers were so long that Nie Chuan even felt that he could completely clasp his ankle.His palm was warm, just like that time when he almost hit his forehead and was held by Risto in the restaurant.

"The calf raise exercise can't be stopped."

"Oh, I know."

"Okay, I'll take you back to the dormitory."

Reese stood up and grabbed the coat hanging on the hanger.

"No need! I can go back by myself! I can go back!"

"too late."

"Ah? I'm a man, does it matter?"

But Rees had already walked to the door, and Nie Chuan raised the corners of his lips when he turned around: "This does not distinguish between men and women."

"Ah? Why is there no distinction between men and women?"

Nie Chuan followed, watching Rees lock the door, but thinking about that sentence in his heart.

But Rees just laughed and didn't answer him.

Although Reese looked cold, he was not without a smile.In fact, Nie Chuan had seen him smile several times.Reese stuffed the key into his pocket and walked forward, with Nie Chuan following behind him.

"Well, what is 'no distinction between men and women'? Are you worried that I will be robbed? Don't worry! There are all students here, and there will be no robbers!"

Reese looked down, the smile on his lips seemed to grow wider.

He took his hand out of his pocket and gently pushed it on Nie Chuan's forehead. Judging by the shape of his mouth, he seemed to say "child".

When Nie Chuan walked downstairs to his student apartment, Rees just waved his hand and left.

Nie Chuan returned to his room, and when he opened the door, he saw Zhou Bin lying on the bed with his mobile phone in his arms, chatting with someone on the phone.

When Nie Chuan came back from taking a shower, Zhou Bin had finished making calls, but he was still looking at the phone with a smile on his lips.

"Hey - Silly Bin! You're back to your senses!"

Zhou Bin said in a calm tone: "Anyone in this world can call me stupid, but you, Nie Chuan, are really not qualified."

It means that Zhou Bin is in the most brainless state, and his intelligence can crush Nie Chuan.

"Come on! Tell me! Which crush is your kid dating?"

"It's from the same department as mine, and it's from Shanghai."

"Oh, how long have you been looking at someone else?" Nie Chuan said as he took out a chocolate bar from Zhou Bin's bedside table, unwrapped it and gnawed it.

Zhou Bin quickly stretched out his hand and put it under Nie Chuan's chin, fearing that he would drop the scum of Wei Hua on his bed.

"Of course it's the first class at the beginning of school."

"I... really don't know how to praise your speed..."

Nie Chuan really wanted to break Zhou Bin's head off and see how he was invincible in front of girls.

Zhou Bin could see what Nie Chuan was thinking at a glance, and he patted the top of his head amusedly: "You, don't always think about blonde girls with big breasts and big asses, you will definitely find the right one!"

"Why can't I think?" Nie Chuan showed an unhappy expression.

"Do you think Jennifer Lawrence would like you?"

"Nonsense, do you think she will take a fancy to you?"

"No." Zhou Bin replied to Nie Chuan very seriously, "I just hope that you don't lose your mind because you have been with Maoyan for a long time. Of course, if you like someone, no one can fancy someone. Maybe one day there will really be a goddess-level favor for you. But before that, you have to turn yourself into a diamond."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Bin was about to pull the quilt to sleep.

Nie Chuan hit Zhou Bin hard with the pillow twice, and returned to his bed humming: "Zhou Bin, you wait! One day I will let the goddess hold me!"

"Just don't bring someone else to see me someday."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Nie Chuan tilted his face, and Zhou Bin only exposed a few strands of hair outside the quilt.

"It's not interesting. But Achuan, have you really started playing basketball?"

"...It should be. But is it too late?"

"I don't know if it will be too late, but I have a hunch, as long as you persevere, you will become my pride."

Nie Chuan's heart warmed up, and he whispered under the quilt, "Thank you."

In the next few days, after get out of class, Nie Chuan would practice playing with Carlo and the others, especially passing and coordination.

"Nie Chuan! During the game, your most important duty is to bring the ball across the half court! You need to have a wide field of vision, not only pay attention to our position, but also pay attention to the opponent's position!"

While they were cooperating, Ewing reminded them loudly.

Nie Chuan, who was terribly afraid of him before, now thinks this guy is actually quite cute.

It's just that every time this kind of practice, Reese will not come.But if you think about it carefully, Elis' character might be stronger when fighting alone.

After playing for an hour or two, Ewing put his arm around Nie Chuan's shoulder and asked, "Hey, tell me the truth, do you know nothing but three-step layups?"

Finally found out by Ewing...

"Although I teach you now, it may be too late for the practice match. But... are you willing to learn from me?" Ewing asked.

"Of course I would!"

If someone is willing to teach him how to shoot basketball, he can only wish for it!

"Boy, you are so lucky! Ewing is one of the top ten shooters in the league!" Carlo said happily.

"Huh?" Ewing turned his face sideways and stared at Carlo fiercely.

Carlo suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing again: "It's the top three."

With his hands behind his back, Ewing came to Carlo, stood on tiptoe, stared into his eyes and said, "Why do I feel that you are so reluctant?"

"No, no, I am willing..."

I don't know why, Carlo is obviously taller than Ewing by nearly ten centimeters, but he is always weak in front of Ewing.

Ewing put his hand on Carlo's face, pushed him away, turned to Nie Chuan and said, "Don't pay attention to this idiot, I will teach you the short-range shots within the center circle first. Alan, if you are practicing If the game is playing normally, you should be able to drive the ball to the opponent's back. If all the scorers on the team are under the opponent's defense, as long as the timing is right, you have to shoot in time."

"Yeah!" Nie Chuan taught himself how to shoot when he was in middle school. Although he knew the most basic postures, it would be good to score one out of dozens of shots. He also wanted to know, if Ewing He is a top shooter in the league, and Nie Chuan really wants to learn the real secret from him.

"Look out." Ewing dribbled the ball, came to Nie Chuan's side, and made a shooting posture, "You put the ball in front of your chest with both hands, which is very similar to passing the ball in front of your chest. Of course... For your height, the ball can be slightly higher than your chest."

"..."

I thought you were cute just now, but now I have a bad review!What is "at your height"?Will I still grow up?

"Your strength should extend from your feet to your waist, from your abdomen to your hands."
