When he saw PS, Woody knew that this achievement point was very good and this task must be completed.
There was a moment of sluggishness. When the student next to him saw that Woody didn't respond, he quickly patted his elbow and whispered: "Hey, man, are you scared? Ben Wallace is calling you to come up!"
The hand also pushed him forward.
Ben Wallace had a panoramic view of all this. He also thought Woody was frightened, so he comforted him: "Dude, don't be nervous, you can just perform normally later!"
Woody didn't react. He was thinking about how to impress Ben Wallace.
There is no doubt about his talent, and in a month, he believes he can make great progress.
If this first side can give Ben Wallace an unforgettable impression.
I think it won't be difficult to complete the task!
But how do you leave an unforgettable impression on Ben Wallace?
At least he has to perform better than Perkins just now!
So I have to...
At least grab a rebound?
Woody frowned slightly. He saw the confrontation under the basket that just ended. Perkins's basic skills were much better than him, and he didn't even grab a rebound in front of Ben Wallace. Not to mention pure newcomers without any basic skills!
Since you can't grab rebounds, you have to change your mind...
Woody made up his mind, and then the trainer smashed the basketball into the basket.
The showdown begins!
The moment the ball hit the basket, Woody's first reaction was to rush forward and fight for it. Ben Wallace had been paying attention to his movements, and when he saw him actively moving forward, he made a judgment in his mind.
At the same time, I feel that although Woody’s skin color is different from the previous two, he obviously has nothing new!
How do these little guys compare with him, the league's "rebounding king", when it comes to skills such as circling forward and blocking positions?
To learn...
Eh?
Ben Wallace thought he had seen through Woody's intentions, but just when he got stuck in his position and was about to take off to grab the board, Woody continued to move forward and increased the intensity of the confrontation. Ben- Wallace originally planned to push him away and collect the rebound the moment the ball was about to fall. But Woody kept exerting force and did not give him this opportunity at all. During the confrontation, Ben Wallace watched the ball drop. It hit the ground and made a "bang" sound.
There was silence at the scene, and the sound of the ball hitting the ground echoed throughout the arena.
"Again!"
Ben Wallace didn't say anything, he just motioned to the trainer who was throwing the ball to throw it again.
It was the same this time. Woody pretended to be stuck in position to grab a rebound, but when the ball was about to pop up, he continued to fight against Ben Wallace, leaving him no chance to take off.
The ball fell to the ground again, as if it was a replay of the scene just now.
The students were stunned.
What does this mean?
You should grab rebounds, Chinese!
Ben Wallace's brain also experienced a slight shutdown. He looked at Woody blankly, wanting an explanation.
Woody let out a breath. He had two confrontations with Ben Wallace. He felt the latter's amazing strength. He was worthy of being a top blue-collar player in the NBA. Even though he tried his best, he was still calculating mentally and unintentionally. Next, I just stopped this "explosion".
He explained: "After watching the confrontation between you and those two just now, I know very well that I won't have any chance of winning against you for rebounding, so I decided to change my angle. Since I can't grab it from you, Rebounds, so as long as you can't get the rebounds, then I can't be considered a loser, right?"
These words made the trainer on the sidelines show an expression of sudden realization. Ben Wallace was stunned for two seconds, and the expression on his face was a little more "you are a fucking genius".
"Boy, you are very good!" He praised without hesitation, his eyes full of admiration. In the words of his head coach Rick Carlisle, Woody is a "person with a super high basketball IQ".
In a word:
This is a brain teaser!
After Woody's explanation, there was a little more uproar.
Woody's explanation made them enlightened. At the same time, they subconsciously glanced at Perkins next to them. Just now, they thought Perkins was very powerful. After fighting with Ben Wallace for so long, now they felt that Perkins was very powerful.
Just a reckless man using brute force!
But there is no use for it!
Look at the results now...
When you come out to grab rebounds, you need to be strategic and use your brain!
Perkins looked embarrassed, especially after hearing Ben Wallace's praise of Woody.
You know, just now he was out of breath from exhaustion and didn't get any praise from Ben Wallace. Now this guy has only been up for two rounds and he's getting praise from Ben Wallace.
Moreover, Woody's "problem-solving ideas" seemed like he was very stupid just now, and he was like a bull who only knew how to fight head-on.
The doubts were answered and the duel continued. After taking precautions in his mind, Ben Wallace did not let Woody succeed. He pushed away Woody with all his strength and successfully collected the rebound.
There was a little more regret in his eyes.
His basketball IQ is pretty good, but his basic skills are a bit lacking.
Woody retreated steadily in the following time. But there was nothing he could do. His most proud physical qualities were far behind Ben Wallace, not to mention his basic skills of grabbing rebounds under the basket.
.
There is no advantage at all.
Losing is normal!
"Man, you have to strengthen your basic skills training! Just relying on a little cleverness is of no use!" Ben Wallace threw a trash talk.
When Perkins heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
After comparing it like this, it seems that his performance is still the best among the three.
It was only Woody's answer that stunned everyone again.
"This is my first day of systematic training!"
"What?" Ben Wallace was stunned again and repeated in disbelief, "The first day?"
Other students in the audience were also stunned.
"You mean you've never practiced basketball?"
Although Woody's performance in the confrontation is not as good as Perkins, no matter how you look at it, it will not make people think that he is a novice.
Woody explained: "I used to prefer fighting and rugby, so I am no stranger to some confrontation skills, but this is indeed my first time to come into contact with the basket confrontation. I just agreed to it half a month ago.
Our coach joins the school team."
Ben Wallace became interested: "Man, how old are you?"
"17..."
That is, senior year of high school!
"You've never played basketball before?"
"No!"
"So why did you suddenly choose basketball?" Ben Wallace thought of a certain possibility, "Do you want to be the next Yao Ming?"
Woody didn't deny it.
Among the Chinese people who play basketball, who doesn’t want to be the next “Yao Ming”?
"With your height, it's actually more suitable to play outside, right?"
Woody "tells the truth": "I prefer confrontation in the paint, just like you!"
Originally, he wanted to play inside after hearing Woody say he liked confrontation. Ben Wallace was already very satisfied.
Hearing Woody say "just like you" made him even more fond of Woody.
Yeah!
I play inside just because I like confrontation!
It’s not because I can’t dribble, shoot, or hit the perimeter~
Are today’s little guys so nice to talk to?
The more Ben Wallace looks at Woody, the more delighted he becomes.
I was so happy that I wanted to give Woody a haircut.
He smiled...
"Interesting, really interesting!"
During the conversation, Ben Wallace looked Woody up and down. His static talent was visible to the naked eye, and even during the confrontation, he could feel his potential.
His eyes gradually brightened, like an owl in the night, and he seemed to be sizing up some rough gems. - If what Woody said is true, then he is really a "treasure boy".
Ben Wallace is really interested in such a "genius newcomer".
At that time, Oakley discovered this gem in him, taught him by words and deeds, and introduced him to colleges. Although he still failed to be selected in the 1996 draft, after several twists and turns, he finally managed to survive.
Now that he had just become the NBA's "Defensive Player of the Season", he met this potential newcomer in the training camp who had not had any systematic training for a day. He felt that this was a fate.
To put it more simply:
This guy is destined to me!
His eyes gradually became serious, and he looked directly into Woody's eyes. He asked seriously: "Man, tell me, do you really want to play basketball?"
Woody nodded.
There is no doubt about this.
No matter what his purpose is, at this moment, he really wants to play basketball!
"Okay, kid, you have to remember that this road will be difficult!" After saying this, Ben Wallace looked at the other students, "These are the words I want to give to you too!"
"Playing basketball is indeed a very good way out, but you are not the only ones who want to become millionaires and multi-millionaires through playing basketball, there are countless people who are fighting for it. What you have to defeat is one after another.
Opponents, including geniuses who are much more talented than you, remember that the only thing that can catch up with talent is sweat!"
In fact, Ben Wallace knows very well that sweat cannot make up for the gap in talent.
The so-called hard work must be based on a certain amount of talent in order to be useful. But facing these pairs of eyes full of hope, he could not tell the cruel truth.
The world needs "Chicken Soup"!
He looked at Woody again and expressed his thoughts: "Man, you can train with me next!"
As soon as these words came out, all the students in the room were in admiration.
Especially Perkins.
He came to and1 expecting to get guidance from Ben Wallace. As a result, Ben Wallace was indeed willing to give guidance, but the person who gave the guidance was Woody.
It's obviously me first!
Just now, my name was called first...
Ben Wallace took the initiative to invite Woody to train with him, which made Woody very happy.
At the same time, a naughty idea suddenly popped into my head:
If I reject him outright...
As a man that Ben Wallace can't get, his impression must be maxed out, right?
Shouldn't this task be completed directly?
However, in the end, Woody decided to play it safe and agreed.
Training with the NBA's top rebounders is something that no one can pay for. This opportunity cannot be missed.
He can use his outstanding talent to slowly deepen Ben Wallace's impression of him and complete systematic tasks.
