Strong Offense and Defense

It's over, it's so abstract... I can't understand it...

"Your elbows should be sent forward and upward naturally. Also, don't put your palms on the ball! It's your thumb, index finger, and middle finger that are really exerting force." Rees looked into Nie Chuan's eyes and grabbed Nie Chuan full attention.

"Yeah!" Nie Chuan nodded.

"Pay attention to my movements after I take off."

Ewing jumped up. His legs were very powerful, and his posture in the air was very graceful and harmonious. The moment the ball was sent, Nie Chuan knew that the ball must be scored.

"see it?"

"I see!" Nie Chuan nodded vigorously.

"After shooting, your arm should naturally go straight up, with your fingertips aiming for the basket you're aiming at."

"Ah."

"You have a try." Ewing threw the ball to Nie Chuan.

Nie Chuan became nervous for no reason.He took the ready pose as Ewing had taught him.

"Well, it's pretty standard. Pay attention, Nie Chuan."

Nie Chuan jumped up and sent the ball. The line of the ball was smoother than any time Nie Chuan had ever done before, but unfortunately it still hit the basket.

"It's okay! It's okay! The posture in the air just now was very good!" Carlo came over to comfort him.

Ewing stood on tiptoe, pressed Carlo's face and pushed him away: "It's useless to look good in the air. Alan, remember what I told you? Pay attention to the way you exert force. Especially your arms .”

"I... can't understand the way you said about exerting force." Nie Chuan could only confess.

He waited for Ewing to scold him, but Ewing didn't.He patted Nie Chuan: "I used to be like this. No matter how many times the coach taught me, my body couldn't understand it. But Nie Chuan, if you succeed one time, you must remember that feeling. Wait until your The body remembers, and you can shoot whatever you want."

"Ah."

Ewing's very considerate attitude once again refreshed his favorability in Nie Chuan's heart.

Today's practice ends half an hour before dinner.The four of them met Zhou Bin at an Asian restaurant and had a sumptuous Chinese meal.

Nie Chuan was surprised to find that Carlo, who had been poking the meatball with his chopsticks and failing repeatedly, was really funny.Ewing is a big eater. He can eat three bowls of fried rice and one bowl of fried noodles and then complain that the spoons given by the restaurant are too small for feeding children.As for Montenegro, although he speaks little, he is indeed a very careful person.For example, he had long expected that Carlo would poke meatballs on his body, and reminded him to put a napkin on his lap in advance, for example, when Ewing was happily eating fried rice and the plate was getting closer and closer to the edge of the table, he would He reached out and pushed Ewing's plate back onto the table.

"I think they will make you very happy." Zhou Bin said with a smile.

"...It seems to be..."

Carlo raised his head dissatisfied and said: "Alan and Bin, you are not allowed to speak Chinese in front of us in the future!"

"why?"

Ewing pouted and replied: "Because this idiot is worried that you will call him stupid in Chinese."

Nie Chuan and Zhou Bin couldn't help laughing out loud.

After dinner, Ewing took Montenegro to self-study, and Carlo also said that he had to preview tomorrow's class.Although they are all members of the dk university basketball team, their most important status is still college students. If their course performance is too bad, they will not be able to participate in the basketball league.

"What about you? Nie Chuan, do you want to go back to the dormitory to play games or go to the library to read?" Zhou Bin said with a smile, "I'm going to accompany my girlfriend."

"You ungrateful bastard!"

"I'm already very loyal! In order to see clearly who you are dating, I gave up the opportunity to be with my girlfriend to accompany you. Seeing that Carlos and the others are nice people, I can finally hand you over with confidence. It's in their hands!" Zhou Bin had a melancholy expression of "my son has finally grown up".

What the hell is this!

Nie Chuan did not go to the library or return to the dormitory, but returned to the school's public basketball court with his basketball.

Not many people are still playing at this time, so Nie Chuan can practice with peace of mind.

He shot the way Ewing taught him over and over again, and most of the time, the ball just hit the hoop.

"The way to exert force, the way to exert force..."

Nie Chuan kept emphasizing what Ewing said to him last, but he still couldn't really understand it.

Before I knew it, it was past nine o'clock in the evening, and Zhou Bin probably went to study by himself.

Nie Chuan also felt tired at this time. He shook his arms and came to his basketball backpack, only to realize that he had run out of mineral water.

He sighed in annoyance. He had tried so many times. Although he occasionally made a few hits, Nie Chuan still couldn't find the shooting touch that his body would remember.

"Mineral water or chocolate?"

The cool voice blended with the cold lights of the basketball court.

Nie Chuan turned sideways and saw a tall figure walking forward with a bag on one shoulder.

The other party was against the light, and Nie Chuan couldn't see his face clearly, but he could tell who the other party was just from the way he walked.

"Reese?"

When Reese's figure completely appeared under the light, Nie Chuan couldn't help being stunned.

Today, Reese is wearing a striped shirt, a thin sweater and cardigan jacket, and jeans that have been washed to whitish on his lower body. He looks elegant, and he really deserves to be a genius in the mathematics department.

Those super long legs made Nie Chuan, who fell into envy and hatred, turn his head away: "I want them all, do you have them?"

Standing not far from Nie Chuan, Rees threw a bottle of mineral water over, and Nie Chuan caught it steadily.

Just when Nie Chuan was proud of receiving Reese's "pass", a piece of chocolate hit him on the head.

"Ouch! Can you say something before throwing it over?" Nie Chuan was very dissatisfied, but he knew that his dissatisfaction was meaningless to Rees.

"If you can't handle it, don't eat it."

See, sure enough.

"Your shooting posture in the air is okay, but the arc of the basketball shot and the way you move your fingers need to be paid attention to. In addition, the shoulders are also very important."

Rees took Nie Chuan's basketball, and he jumped up and shot it almost without preparation, which stunned Nie Chuan.

Under the bright lights, only Rees' figure was left in the air.

His air time is longer than average, which also allows him to shoot more slowly than Ewing.

Nie Chuan looked at the angle formed by Reese's wrist and the ball, and at that moment, Nie Chuan seemed to hear the sound of the basketball rubbing against the air, and then fell into the center of the basket and entered easily.

"And the rhythm. Every shooter has his own rhythm."

"Yes." Nie Chuan nodded.

Reese came to Nie Chuan and said to him, "Stand on the chair."

Although Nie Chuan didn't know what to do, he did it.

But Reese knelt down on one knee in front of Nie Chuan. At that moment, Nie Chuan's little heart was about to come out of his throat.

This... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a marriage proposal scene in a movie!

"Step on it. Just keep your balance and don't use force."

Nie Chuan was dumbfounded. Rees actually told him to step on him?How dare he?

"Ah...the soles of my shoes are dirty."

"It's ok."

"I...I'm heavy, you can't support me..."

Reese raised his eyebrows at Nie Chuan, his eyes filled with the familiar coolness of Nie Chuan.

The phrase "You can't support me" seems to be a word of contempt for Rees.

But no matter how strong Reese is, it's impossible to support him with both hands, right?

"Come on." Reese's voice dropped an octave.

Nie Chuan wondered if he would be beaten if he continued to refuse, so he stepped on it resignedly.

When his left foot stepped on Reese, he didn't dare to use any force at all, until Reese's cold voice sounded again: "Hurry up!"

Nie Chuan stepped on both feet in a panic, and the palm under his feet suddenly lifted him up. Nie Chuan felt a force from his feet to his knees, and then his waist along the From the spine to his head, the whole person seemed to be flying, but he was not prepared at all, and lost his balance when he fell.

At that moment, a pair of hands suddenly supported his lower back, and then hugged him firmly.

When Nie Chuan came to his senses, his eyes met Reese's. They were so close that Nie Chuan could clearly feel Reese's warm breath.

The heart seemed to suddenly rush to the sky, but the process of falling was so long.

Reese's arms were wrapped around Nie Chuan's waist, and he was hugged like this, even Nie Chuan had never experienced it when he was a child.

Nie Chuan wanted to stand up, but he found that his toes couldn't touch the ground.

"I...you can let me down..."

Reese let go of his arms, and Nie Chuan finally fell to the ground.

"Do you remember the transmission of power at that moment? If you don't remember, close your eyes now and remember."

Nie Chuan swallowed, and he finally understood Reese's intentions.

He closed his eyes, remembering how he felt being lifted.

"Nie Chuan, the point is not being lifted by me, but how my strength reaches your spine and even imagine how it affects your arms when shooting."

Reese squatted down, and when his palm touched Nie Chuan's calf, Nie Chuan's breathing was choked.

"The power starts with your calf muscles, which are the most important starter, the kick off. That's 'one.'"

Reese's fingers followed Nie Chuan's back knee and his thigh, upwards. Nie Chuan's whole body's blood rushed to the place where he touched Reese's fingertips, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
