Chapter 157: Basketball Practice Xiao Tianming returned home and reported to Murong Xuan that Zhao Zhongguo and Zhang Xian invited him to participate in the basketball game.
"They actually asked you to play basketball? Did you agree to them?" Murong Xuan asked Xiao Tianming while lying on the sofa.
"The President of the Student Union and the Minister of Culture and Sports have come to invite me personally. Do you think I have a reason not to agree?" Xiao Tianming asked Murong Xuan, "Both Zhang Xian and Zhao Zhongguo are people who will never give up until they achieve their goals. If I don't agree, they will
They will also find trouble to force me to agree."
"It seems that you know them very well!" Murong Xuan smiled at Xiao Tianming.
"Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in any battle! You should always know your enemy." Xiao Tianming replied to Murong Xuan.
"You are right. I will get to know Ouyang Zhi, Hou Xinxuan and the others another day." Murong Xuan said jokingly.
"I was attacked by my love rival, and you, as my wife, are still smiling so happily." Xiao Tianming said with a bitter look on his face and dissatisfaction.
Murong Xuan said nonchalantly: "What's the matter! How can you return it if they attack you? Since the two of them invited you to participate in the basketball game, then you can participate. You will be humiliated on the playing field then.
Let them shoot themselves in the foot. In my opinion, this is not a big deal."
"You speak so confidently, have you ever seen me play basketball?" Xiao Tianming asked Murong Xuan angrily.
"That's not true!" Murong Xuan shook her head and said honestly to Xiao Tianming.
"Then let me ask you again, do you know I can play basketball?" Xiao Tianming then asked Murong Xuan.
"No!" Murong Xuan thought for a moment and still shook her head.
"Since you have never seen me play basketball and don't know that I can play basketball, why do you think I can humiliate them on the basketball court? Although Zhao Zhongguo and Zhang Xian look cheap, they don't seem to be asking for it.
It's a humiliating hobby, right?" Xiao Tianming said.
After hearing what Xiao Tianming said, Murong Xuan got up from the sofa, sat up straight and asked, "You really can't play basketball?"
"If you can only shoot balls, I can definitely answer you." Xiao Tianming shrugged and said helplessly.
"What the hell! A boy like you can't actually play basketball?" Murong Xuan patted her forehead depressedly, raised her head and looked at the ceiling and said to Xiao Tianming, "Why do you always surprise me every time? Could it be that you always surprise me?
Isn’t it true that it’s ordinary?”
Xiao Tianming looked at Murong Xuan, flexed his fingers aggrievedly and said: "I can ride horses, football, archery, swimming, golf..."
"It's just that I don't know how to play basketball?" Murong Xuan looked at Xiao Tianming with wide eyes and asked.
"Gymnastics, shooting... I don't seem to be very good at it." Xiao Tianming said to Murong Xuan honestly.
"You don't dare to fight. Should I praise you for being brave, or should I say that you are ignorant and fearless?" Murong Xuan rolled her eyes and said to Xiao Tianming, "But fortunately, there is still more than a week before the competition starts. I
I want to give you a special training session, but with your physical fitness, I should be able to do it in time. After all, you are the man that I, Murong Xuan, like."
"Can you play basketball?" Xiao Tianming looked at Murong Xuan doubtfully and asked. In his impression, there were very few girls who were good at playing basketball.
Murong Xuan touched Xiao Tianming's nose and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't look at people through the cracks in the door - you are looking down on people. Not only can I play basketball, but my playing is not bad. Even with some strong boys.
Even in a fight, I won't suffer any loss."
Xiao Tianming shook his head, with three words clearly written on his face: "I don't believe it." Murong Xuan was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Murong Xuan frowned, raised her eyebrows, stood up from the sofa, and shouted to Xiao Tianming: "We are leaving now."
"Where to go?" Xiao Tianming looked at Murong Xuan and asked in confusion.
"Play basketball! If I don't show you some of my special skills, you're really looking down on me." Murong Xuan said loudly.
Xiao Tianming smiled and said to Murong Xuan: "Xuan'er, are you kidding? It's already night, who is still playing ball?"
"What's wrong at night? Aren't many major events scheduled to be held at night? I know a place where you can also play ball at night." Murong Xuan took out her sneakers from the shoe cabinet and put them on while urging Xiao Tianming, "Don't
You’re dawdling, please change your shoes quickly.”
"Later, we have to go to the sports goods store to buy a basketball first." Murong Xuan changed her shoes, turned around and saw Xiao Tianming hadn't moved yet, and couldn't help but said angrily, "Why are you still sitting still? Could it be that
Do you want me to help you change your shoes, Xiao Shuai?"
"Xuan'er, isn't that part of your body uncomfortable? Can you still exercise vigorously now?" Xiao Tianming said to Murong Xuan.
Hearing Xiao Tianming's words, Murong Xuan's face immediately turned red and she glared at Xiao Tianming in embarrassment: "You don't have to worry about this! Later, I will just teach you some basic moves and the basic rules of the 'three-person' basketball game.
"
"You haven't changed your shoes yet. These are all caused by you, and you still have the nerve to say it." Murong Xuan glared at Xiao Tianming again.
In order to be able to perform the movements better, Murong Xuan tied her long hair into a ponytail and dropped it behind her head, making her look more youthful.
"Let me tell you the rules of 'three-person' basketball first." Murong Xuan held the ball in one hand while instructing Xiao Tianming, "'three-person' basketball is actually what we commonly call 'street basketball'. Each team consists of five players.
One player was changed to three players, and two sides of the court became one. The general framework has not changed, and the basic rules of basketball are still continued, but there are some changes in details."
Murong Xuan patiently explained the basic rules of "three-person" basketball to Xiao Tianming before conducting demonstration training.
"When you were at home, you told me that you could shoot a ball. Now you can shoot it for me first." Murong Xuan threw the basketball over.
Xiao Tianming caught the basketball and started shooting it rhythmically. Not to mention, Xiao Tianming's shooting was really impressive.
"Change hands!" Murong Xuan asked Xiao Tianming to change the ball from his right hand to his left hand, and clapped several times with both hands.
"In general, the shooting is pretty good. However, basketball is not a motion that always stays in place, but is always in motion. Therefore, when shooting the ball, you must turn it into dribbling and combine it with your own speed.
"Murong Xuan said while dribbling to give Xiao Tianming a demonstration, "When dribbling, try to keep the ball landing on the outside of your feet, not too far away from the body, and not too close to the body. When shooting the ball, try to keep it close to the body.
The center of gravity of the body is lowered and the distance of the ball hitting the ground is reduced as much as possible.”
Murong Xuan used a beautiful layup to demonstrate standard dribbling movements for Xiao Tianming. At the same time, her graceful and graceful posture also completely attracted Xiao Tianming's attention, making Xiao Tianming forget about it.
Action, remember the beauty.
"Try to be as fast as possible. When dribbling, you can break through the opponent's block by switching between your left and right hands." Murong Xuan watched Xiao Tianming practice dribbling from the sidelines, and verbally guided Xiao Tianming's movements until Xiao Tianming could move freely.
After Murong Xuan saw that Xiao Tianming had become proficient in practice, she taught Xiao Tianming how to practice shooting. If dribbling and jumping can rely on Xiao Tianming's extraordinary talent, then shooting must rely on Xiao Tianming's repeated practice until he finds the feel for scoring goals.
"Pass the ball over, let's see how I shoot first." Murong Xuan received the basketball from Xiao Tianming, quickly raised the ball above her head, jumped up slightly with both feet, aimed at the basket, shook her wrist, and the basketball passed through the air.
A beautiful arc flew into the basket.
"Did you see it? I'll try it again to show you." Murong Xuan grabbed the basketball that fell from the basket while running, rushed to the outside of the three-second zone, jumped up slightly, and threw the ball out again. The ball was in
An arc was drawn in the air and flew into the basket again.
"Now you know I didn't lie to you when I said I was a basketball master?" Murong Xuan smiled proudly at Xiao Tianming.
"I'm sorry that I'm blind, but I can't see my wife's basketball skills." Xiao Tianming imitated the ancient knight's way of apologizing and clasped his fists in apology to Murong Xuan, earning numerous charming looks from Murong Xuan.
"Okay! Stop talking nonsense. It's getting late now. Pick up the ball and practice it hard. Shooting is no more important than anything else. You must practice more. Only practice more will improve your shooting rate." Murong Xuan said earnestly.
Xiao Tianming guided.
"As a husband, you must obey your wife's good advice." Xiao Tianming made a funny salute to Murong Xuan.
Xiao Tianming conducted repeated shooting training under Murong Xuan's step-by-step guidance, and his shooting percentage improved very quickly.
"Let's finish training here tonight! I will take time tomorrow and I will guide you in training. There is still more than a week before the game starts. I hope you can defeat Zhao Zhongguo and Zhang Xian on the court. Pack your things and let's go home!"
Murong Xuan said to Xiao Tianming.
As soon as Xiao Tianming heard that he could go home, he hurriedly packed up his things and followed Murong Xuan back to the apartment.
"This basketball game follows the '3+1' and '3+0' number rules, with a minimum of 3 people and a maximum of 4 people. Who are you going to call as your teammates?" Murong Xuan asked Xiao Tianming.
"I'll ask Ji Zi and Qiang Zi for their opinions first. If they don't go, I'll find another way." Xiao Tianming replied.
"I suggest you go find Ouyang Xiong. He is good at basketball." Murong Xuan suggested to Xiao Tianming.
"I will consider this. Do you mind if I interact with Ouyang Xiong?" Xiao Tianming asked Murong Xuan.
Murong Xuan glared at Xiao Tianming and said angrily: "What I mind is your association with Ouyang Zhi."
"There is one more thing I want to tell you." Murong Xuan opened the door and said to Xiao Tianming, "Tonight, you should sleep in your room. Normally, you should not enter my room without my permission."
"No way? How can a couple live in separate rooms just after consummating their marriage?" Xiao Tianming said with a bitter look on his face and dissatisfaction.
Murong Xuan turned around and smiled at Xiao Tianming, and then sneered: "We are not a couple, at most we are... living together once!"
