Everyone present paused slightly, not for anything else but because of Tang Qian's dunk just now.
That strength.
That momentum.
Is this still a college student?
Is this still a freshman?
After Tang Qian landed, he knocked away Li Huang who was still stunned, then walked past Zhang Kejia and said:
"Pass the ball, you heard it."
Zhang Kejia nodded slowly. He was not a fool. The force of Tang Qian's make-up dunk just now was really unimaginable. If the basketball stand in this gymnasium had not been recently replaced, Tang Qian's dunk just now was enough to cover the basket.
Unscrew it.
After a moment of silence, the ball started again.
Due to Tang Qian's make-up dunk just now, the momentum on the scene has changed subtly. Zhang Kejia took the initiative to pass several balls to Tang Qian, and the latter scored all of them without exception. And they were all done on Li Huang's head.
Moreover, they are all slam dunks.
"Hey, Zhang Kejia, what are you doing? Didn't we agree to play by ourselves before? Why are you passing the ball to these ordinary people?" Zeng Zhi seemed to have calmed down and took the opportunity to whisper in Zhang Kejia's ear when he returned to defense.
"That guy..." Zhang Kejia looked at Tang Qian's tower-like figure and said with difficulty, "He's not an ordinary person."
"What are you not an ordinary person?" Zeng Zhi became a little angry and said scornfully: "You are not even a special sports recruiter. How can your physical fitness be better? The dunk just now was just based on your height. If I were that tall, it would be the same
It can be done easily.”
Zhang Kejia frowned and looked at Zeng Zhi and said, "You don't believe me? Well, just play by yourself!"
"I couldn't ask for it more!" Zeng Zhi said.
"Idiot." Zhang Kejia looked at Zeng Zhi's running back and whispered.
"Pass the ball."
After Tang Qianka got into position, he immediately waved to Zeng Zhi who was in possession of the ball.
But Zeng Zhi, who was standing outside the three-point line, chose to ignore it. After dribbling the ball, with his good physical fitness, he actually got rid of the obstruction of his opponent Huang Jiabin, and then took a big step and jumped to the ground.
rise.
Looking at it, it looked like he was about to perform a dunk.
Zeng Zhi originally trained in the triple jump, so when he attacks, very few people can stop him under normal circumstances.
Besides, he is not short either, with a standard height of 190 centimeters.
At this height, and with his good jumping ability, there is really no big problem if he wants to perform a dunk in the game. However, Zeng Zhi forgot that this is not a wild court.
In a basketball game, even if you get past the defender, there is still a barrier in the paint.
After being bombarded several times by Tang Qian, Li Huang was already simmering with anger. Seeing that another freshman was about to come in for a dunk, he immediately became angry, slipped and bounced to the ground.
Snapped!
Zeng Zhi was hit hard by Li Huang.
Zeng Zhi, who stumbled a few times on the ground, felt his face dropped. He immediately grabbed fellow center Tang Qian and shouted: "What are you doing? You clearly saw me going to dunk, why didn't you block him? Let him cover me, you
Is it great?"
Tang Qian, who was returning to defense, glanced at him and said lightly: "I'm very happy."
"What???" Zeng Zhimiao was furious and shouted at Tang Qian: "Basketball is a team sport, you don't even have the awareness to cover, you have grown so big for nothing! You can tell at a glance that you are a novice and you have no spirit of cooperation!"
"
"Cover? Did you ask me for it?" Tang Qian said.
"I didn't say you wouldn't give it to me? Are you a pig? Can you play basketball?" Tang Qian's dull reply made Zeng Zhi angrier and angrier. Finally, his teeth relaxed and he blurted out the curse words.
"Better than you." Tang Qian replied coldly.
After speaking, Tang Qian jumped up and grabbed a half-shot shot that Cheng Dong didn't make. Then he stuffed it into the hands of point guard Wu Fan and said, "Alley-oop."
When Wu Fan heard this, his eyes lit up. After all, compared to the arrogance of Zhang Kejia and Zeng Zhi, he was more inclined to support the taciturn Tang Qian.
Besides, with an alley-oop, you can also add an assist, right?
After thinking for a moment, Wu Fan made up his mind. After carrying the basketball steadily across the half court, he ignored Zeng Zhi jumping to the side for the ball. He saw the opportunity and threw the ball directly into the air.
"Is your brain flooded? Didn't you see that I was empty? What kind of blind shot are you making?" As soon as Zeng Zhi finished cursing, a huge sound of slamming the basket resounded throughout the audience.
Tang Qian received a pass from Wu Fan and the alley-oop was successful.
"Good pass." Tang Qian and Wu Fan high-fived.
The next round was almost a similar scene. Tang Qian grabbed the backboard and passed it to Wu Fan. Then Wu Fan advanced and then passed to Tang Qian for a single. For several minutes, Zeng Zhi could not find a single shot.
Touch the ball.
"Damn it, you are trying to isolate me, right? I won't defend anymore, let's see how you four play!" Zeng Zhi also figured out Tang Qian's intention and suddenly said harshly.
Unexpectedly, Tang Qian didn't care at all, and just said to him: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if I have you or not."
"I'll beat you up... Okay, I want to see how you can keep fighting!" Zeng Zhi was determined to have sex with Tang Qian, because the latter's words were really hurtful. What do you mean it doesn't matter whether you have me or not?
Do you want to say that even if you have four against five, you can still handle it? Ridiculous! I, Zeng Zhi, will be waiting, waiting for you to talk and quarrel later! Waiting for you to make a fool of yourself later!!!
How could Tang Qian not know Zeng Zhi's thoughts, but he still had a plan in mind. After all, the opponent's insiders were not enough for him to stir up troubles.
In the next few minutes, Tang Qian's freshman team started massacre mode. The four of them used Tang Qian as a pivot and kept running under cover. Tang Qian did not force the attack. Every time he attracted double-teams, he would definitely give the ball away. Others
Although the shooting of the three people cannot be said to be 100% accurate, they are still quite accurate, because shooting from a wide open position is really not that difficult. Even if it is an ordinary person and there is no one to defend, the accuracy will not be difficult to see if the shot is made smoothly.
go.
On the other hand, on the main team, although Zeng Zhi was passive and sabotaged, he did not dare to stand still, so compared to the freshman team's shooting opportunities, their side was actually slightly inferior.
There is no other reason, the main reason is that the main team has no rebounds.
Even those who play basketball know that scoring points in a team with rebounding guarantees and in a team without rebounding guarantees are completely different things. If nothing else is needed, just the pressure of shooting, it will be easier.
And for the main team right now, it’s not a matter of how many rebounds there are, but rather there are no rebounds at all.
Not a single rebound.
This may seem a bit exaggerated, but it is played out in reality without mercy.
Almost all the rebounds were picked off by Tang Qian's long arms. The few that were knocked far away were also taken by everyone else in the freshman group. In such a situation, the main team wanted to shoot.
, it’s really hard not to be cautious.
On the court, if you are too cautious, you will be constrained and unable to perform.
Taking advantage of everyone's courage, after the second quarter, the freshmen group was already tied with the main group.
The score was fixed at thirty-eight to thirty-eight.
This means that in the entire quarter, the main team only scored a pitiful five points.
This scene, compared to the first section, is completely like a world away.
"Cheng, Coach Cheng, the situation on the scene is very bad. Should we pause first..." Even a layman like Liu Dong could see some clues to the conflicts on the court.
"No need." Cheng Jianguo glanced at the tall figure and whispered to himself: "Come on, let me see what you can do."
Newcomers establish their authority.
If you really can do it.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Cheng Jianguo asked Lu Yang to go up and push Zeng Zhi down. For this special recruit who went his own way and had average strength, he had already thought about giving up.
Without Zeng Zhi, who was holding him back, the freshmen team played smoother and smoother. In the end, they scored 40 points with sudden shots in one quarter. After the third quarter, the score was 78 to 4.
Fourteen, a crazy win of thirty-four points.
"Okay, that's enough, the competition ends here." Cheng Jianguo stopped the competition from continuing, because if the competition continued, he was afraid that the main team would completely lose confidence.
If this really happens, then the gains outweigh the losses.
After all, we have to participate in cuba and get a good ranking. Without these old team members, it won't be possible.
However, through such a game, Cheng Jianguo has already seen a lot.
That "big" freshman with a handsome face is definitely not a talent in the pool. He has been the MVP of the National High School League for three consecutive years, and his reputation is not in vain.
In just one game, he can establish his status and win the trust of his teammates. This kid is... extraordinary.
Who was the last such genius in China?
Cheng Jianguo thought of Chen Jianghua. Unfortunately, in the past few years of his CBA career, this young talented guard has not performed at the level he should have. Instead, his ball sense and spirituality have fallen again and again, which is disappointing.
Anyone else? I heard that Guo Shiqiang has a nephew who is also very good, but I have never seen it with my own eyes.
But no matter what, those people are not from Cuba, and this kid named Tang Qian can definitely dominate this field.
No, it’s not just here, this place is too small. If he can continue to grow, the CBA, the national team, or even the faraway shore of the ocean may be his destination.
I can't just watch a talent being wasted!
Suddenly, Cheng Jianguo made a big decision.
"Okay, everyone is tired today. I will arrange the cleaning. Just remember to come to train as usual tomorrow."
"Oh, by the way, Tang Qian, please stay here for a while."
Tang Qian and Lu Yang were about to leave together. After hearing Cheng Jianguo's words, he could only let Lu Yang go first.
"Coach Cheng, what's the matter?" Tang Qian looked at Cheng Jianguo and said.
"Xiao Tang, I have something to ask you."
"Well, ask, coach." Tang Qian said.
"Do you like playing basketball?" Cheng Jianguo said these words very seriously, with no intention of joking.
Tang Qian was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, I like it."
OK, there is a door!
Seeing the way Tang Qian spoke, he concluded that the tall boy in front of him was definitely not being perfunctory.
"Then do you want to go further?" Cheng Jianguo asked cautiously.
"Go further?" Tang Qian didn't understand.
"That is, do you want to take this as a career in the future?" Cheng Jianguo stared at Tang Qian.
Why did he ask that question before? It was just to pave the way for what he said now.
Because in China, there may be many students who like to play basketball, but if they really want to take it as a career in the future, maybe not many people are willing to stick to it.
China is not the United States. Although the audience for basketball has shown an explosive growth trend in recent years, it is all just a hobby. How many people actually choose to play professional basketball in the future? It seems that they are white-collar workers, taking the civil service examination, doing business, or even
Opening your own store is more comfortable and safer than this. Don't look at the endless high salaries of CBA players in recent years, but that is for the star players at the top of the pyramid. As for the vast majority of ordinary players, they only start with one or two hundred thousand.
After playing for several years, it usually stabilizes between 400,000 and 700,000. Maybe you think this is a lot, but how long is the lifespan of a professional player? He can’t survive until the age of thirty-five or six, which is even more.
It is guaranteed that you will not be seriously injured during this period. Compared with ordinary jobs, you can work until you are sixty years old, which is less than half the time. Furthermore, professional players need a lot of exercise every day to maintain their condition. This kind of super intensity
The amount of exercise is simply unbearable for most people. Of course, you can say that compared with NBA training, CBA is nothing more than pediatric training, but this is just standing and talking without backache. What level is NBA? What level is CBA? Two
The two cannot be compared at all. I remember there was a report that people who can support the daily training level of the NBA are basketball geniuses, but the NBA is a gathering place for geniuses, so it is not so conspicuous.
To give a simple analogy, most people find it difficult to train for the high school team. As for CBA level training, if it takes a long time, it will directly defeat you. But NBA level training, it is no exaggeration, will not last long if you have the physical foundation of ordinary people.
It will completely collapse, and it is not impossible to insist on practicing to death (Xiao Zi feels this deeply in the university team, although I am only a small substitute). With so many people in China, do you think there are not many people who are mentally tough?
Persistent? Sometimes your spirit may be able to persevere, but your body cannot bear the load.
This is what Cheng Jianguo has learned after being a coach for decades.
He also went to the United States to study the NBA, and he also had close contact with some NBA stars.
However, the more he came into contact with him, the more he felt in his heart. Sometimes, physical fitness cannot be summed up by simple speed and strength. For example, the most shocking thing about Kobe Bryant, who is currently in the NBA, is not his wingspan.
, and it’s not his skills. He thinks the scariest thing about Kobe Bryant is his ability to practice.
Yes, you can practice it.
Even most NBA players can't withstand the intensity of training like him, but he can do it day after day, year after year. This kind of physical training endurance has almost reached a terrifying level.
Everyone knows that playing basketball requires more practice and strengthening, but the question is, if you have to practice and strengthen, first of all, whether your body can support it.
If your body cannot bear the intensity of training, no matter how good or sophisticated your training methods are, it will be useless.
That’s why people always talk about using scientific training methods.
Otherwise, don’t we just need to “work hard”?
Professional basketball is not that simple, so before asking certain questions, Cheng Jianguo needs to clarify a question.
That is the big boy in front of me, does he really like basketball?
Love from the bottom of my heart.
"Professional? Professional basketball?" Tang Qian said without hesitation this time: "Of course."
"That's what I always planned to do."
"Really?" Tang Qian's answer surprised him. Cheng Jianguo suppressed his emotions and said: "But classmate Tang, I want to warn you first. Choosing to play professional basketball in China is very risky.
Big ones. Even one bad one will waste your time and your life."
"Are you willing to do this?"
"Yes." Tang Qian said without hesitation.
"Why are you so straightforward?" Cheng Jianguo asked doubtfully.
Because from Tang Qian's tone, he could tell that the other party was not temporarily excited.
"Because I like playing basketball."
"And God gave me this opportunity."
"I have no reason to waste anymore."
……………………
That night, Cheng Jianguo finished his dinner and couldn't wait to call an old acquaintance.
Du~du~du~
"Hey, who is it?"
"Lao Li, don't you even recognize my voice? Or do you mean you didn't save my number at all?"
"Oh, it's Jianguo. What kind of language are you talking about? I've just been looking at the player information. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"That's right, Lao Li, I heard that you are planning to lead this year's U17 youth team, right?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"Haha, I have a candidate here that I would like to recommend."
"Recommending candidates? Isn't this rare?" The other person on the phone also smiled, and then said: "But the big list seems to have been drawn up, this..."
"Lao Li, this is because you are being unkind. You just drew up the list and didn't hand it in. Wouldn't it be nice if you could change it a little bit?"
"this……"
"Hey, what's the matter with you? When you asked me for help before, I didn't refuse!" Hearing the other party's hesitation, Cheng Jianguo immediately became unhappy and raised his voice: "Don't take it.
You're trying to fool me, I know these muscles, bones and joints better than you. Just a quick word, will you help me?"
"Jianguo, don't be so anxious. I didn't say I wouldn't help you. Why are you so anxious just talking about it?"
"Oh, Lao Li, what you mean by this is that there is no problem, right?"
"Hey, if I don't agree with you today, why don't you fly to Beijing to tear me down? My arms and legs are old, but I'm not as healthy as you." The person on the other end of the phone could only smile helplessly.
"But we have one thing to say, that is, the person you recommend must not be over seventeen years old. I don't have any problem with it as long as it is one day shorter."
"What? What do you mean, U17 is an older boy scout again this time?"
"Who says it's not the case? Well, I can't offend everyone, right?"
"Haha, don't worry, the person I recommend is definitely not over seventeen years old. I won't make it too difficult for you."
"That's fine, as long as he's under eighteen years old. You can send his information later so I can draft a new roster."
"Okay." Cheng Jianguo replied cheerfully.
At this moment, on the other side, Tang Qian was also talking in the room with his cell phone.
"Mom and Dad, this is an opportunity, I want to give it a try." Tang Qian said to the mobile phone.
"Have you made up your mind?" A calm male voice on the other side of the phone said.
"Well, Dad, I've thought about it." Tang Qian nodded.
"Hey, the child's father, what we discussed just now, why did you suddenly change your mind? No, my son has finally been admitted to college, how can he not study and play basketball? I don't agree!" The other end of the phone suddenly rang.
There was a middle-aged woman's voice. It was obvious that Tang Qian's parents had turned on the speakerphone, so Tang's mother had heard every word of the previous conversation between Tang Qian and Tang's father.
"Mom, haven't you always supported me in playing basketball?" Tang Qian frowned.
"Son, if you just do it for fun and as a daily hobby, of course your mother will support you. But if you want to make it a career, your mother will not agree to it."
"Why?"
"Son, it's not that easy to be an athlete. Look at Xiaobao from Uncle Jin's house next door. Isn't he just practicing long-distance running? How is he doing now? He even broke his foot and didn't make much money.
I have to rely on a wheelchair and crutches for half my life!”
"mom……"
"Son, mom is not asking how much money you can earn in the future. Mom is afraid that you will get hurt. If you are seriously injured and become disabled, what will your dad and I do?"
Tang Qian fell silent when he heard this.
He knew how much the person on the phone loved him.
But there are some things that if you don’t do them, you will regret them for the rest of your life.
He looked at the mirror, looked at the burly young man in the mirror, took a deep breath, and said:
"Mom, do you know?"
"This is an opportunity God gave me."
"This is also the opportunity I have always longed for."
