During the break, I felt like it was time to test the overall skill of our class.
Coincidentally, You Chen was injured in yesterday's practice and could only study in the classroom. There were only Niu ShiLi, Xu LiJun, Sun Yu, Pi ZeGuang, and Mu ZhongMing. They couldn't even play a 3v3.
I didn't say anything and ran onto the court. I intercepted the ball that Sun Yu passed to Xu LiJun and started to dribble like a general.
Niu ShiLi's attire today was quite interesting. No, it's not that his attire was special, it's because he changed into a pair of sports goggles that former NBA star 'Skyhook' Jabbar wore to prevent getting injured in an intense collision. At first glance, he looked like a soldier from the future.
I think he bought it from a sports store. Those goggles are pretty expensive. He really went all out just to make me drink Fu Yan Jie.
"You won't make any progress just by practicing." I said to Niu ShiLi, "The best practice is a match. 3v3. You take Xu LiJun and Sun Yu, I'll take the two substitutes, how about it? "
Niu ShiLi agreed without thinking. He must have had some confidence in himself after a series of hellish training by Captain Guo SongTao.
As the match was about to begin, Pi ZeGuang and Mu ZhongMing walked over to my side. The skinny Pi ZeGuang had a sullen expression, while Mu ZhongMing was gloomy as usual.
"Focus!" I scolded my teammates, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! You just want me to drink Fu Yan Jie! Let me tell you, your biggest opponent in the tournament isn't me, it's the other classes! If you can't get any points from them, it's pointless even if you cause trouble! "
I pointed at Niu ShiLi, Xu LiJun, and Sun Yu behind him, "Do you see that? You have to treat them as your opponents in the tournament! Only by scoring from their hands will you be able to score in the basketball tournament! If you're going to be passive just because you're on the same team as me, then you'll be out of luck in the future! "
Actually, what I meant was that they would be out of luck in front of their opponents in the tournament. But Pi ZeGuang and Mu ZhongMing seemed to understand that I would take revenge on them if they didn't play seriously, so they both grinned and became more spirited.
I wanted to see how much Niu ShiLi had improved, so I didn't fight with him for the right to serve and let him attack first.
Niu ShiLi made eye contact with me through the sports goggles. His competitive spirit almost created sparks in the air, but when I made a fake move to steal the ball, Niu ShiLi passed the ball to Sun Yu.
After all, he had only been a beginner for a short time. Wasn't he very confident in his ability to control the ball? However, there was no hesitation in this pass. He had also calculated the amount of time Sun Yu would need to run, which was remarkable.
Mu ZhongMing appeared in front of Sun Yu like a ghost. Sun Yu made a few feints but was unable to break through, so he passed the ball over to Xu LiJun.
Pi ZeGuang was a step too slow when he intercepted the ball. He could not adjust his posture in time, and it just so happened that there was an empty space in front of Xu LiJun. Xu LiJun did not miss this good opportunity. He stepped directly on the free throw line and threw the ball into the basket.
Those who were familiar with basketball could basically judge whether the ball would go in from the posture of the shooter, especially the shooter himself. Judging from the smile on Xu LiJun's face, there was at least an 80% chance that the ball would go in.
I was here to test the strength of my teammates, not to let them get complacent just because they got some results. It was time to show them some strength.
I roared and ran in front of Xu LiJun. I leaped high into the air and covered him with a hot pot!
The ball had only been out of my hands for less than 0.1 seconds and hadn't even drawn a beautiful arc before it was intercepted by me. I could have thrown it to Pi ZeGuang under the basket and let him score the first point while no one was guarding him. But I wanted to destroy Xu LiJun's optimism and make him not shoot stupidly on the spot. Thus, I used force on my arm and forcefully hooked the ball back into my arms. I caught it with my other hand and it made a crisp "pa" sound.
I looked at Niu ShiLi with a provoking gaze. What I meant was: You can do it too, no, you have to!
The rule in a 3v3 is that after you get the ball from the opponent, you need to leave the free throw line and then attack again.
With my foot on the free throw line, I easily bounced the ball all the way to the three-point line. I used my gaze to incite Niu ShiLi to intercept the ball, but he didn't fall for it.
I didn't have the three-point shooting skills of 28 Middle School's handsome Shen ShaoYi. If I forcefully made a move, I would definitely give the rebound to Niu ShiLi.
I thought about it and tried to break through under the basket while aiming at my teammate's position.
Xu LiJun, who was blocked by me, ran over to stop me. He had a bruise on his scalp because he failed to get a haircut. I wanted to laugh every time I saw the area that looked like a dog's hair.
It's good to be competitive, but don't be impulsive. Basketball isn't a fight without rules, courage alone isn't enough!
I was caught off guard and directly threw the ball at Xu LiJun's face!
It wasn't an intentional foul, it was more like I passed the ball to the other side!
But Xu LiJun wasn't mentally prepared and subconsciously covered his face with his hands, so the ball bounced back into my hands.
"Thanks!" I waved at him mischievously, and before he could recover, I dribbled through his defense.
I didn't even have time to catch my breath before Niu ShiLi rushed over like a mountain.
Maybe it was because his physique was too strong, but he sealed off all directions and gave me a headache even though I was an experienced player.
I glanced over and saw Mu ZhongMing hiding under the basket with a pair of will-o '-the-wisp eyes.
On the other side of the basket, Pi ZeGuang was closely watched by Sun Yu. Since Pi ZeGuang was only good at shooting from the middle, he kept moving towards the center line in an attempt to find a suitable spot to receive the ball.
Xu LiJun, who was just teased by me, calmed down and returned to guard Mu ZhongMing. Mu ZhongMing let out a ghostly sigh after feeling like he missed a great opportunity.
Not bad! Playing basketball is all about technique, teamwork, and awareness. Although everyone is lacking in these three areas, at least we have them!
I suddenly felt a sense of pride. I felt that it wasn't impossible to get first place in the grade. The key was how I would teach these slightly inexperienced team members.
I already gave Xu LiJun a show of strength, so Niu ShiLi should also receive a bit of setback education, right? I feel like he's the type of person who gets braver the more he suffers. It would be good for the team's future if I let him taste some pain.
With that thought, I used my left shoulder to block Niu ShiLi and dribbled with my right hand. I planned on using brute force to break through. This move was effective against Shen ShaoYi and Liu HuaiShui.
Who would have thought that Niu ShiLi wouldn't budge an inch after being hit by me.
F * ck, I feel like I've hit a wall! I originally thought that even if Niu ShiLi was stronger than me, his lower body might not be as stable as mine. I didn't expect him to maintain his center of gravity like he was rooted to the ground!
Brother Tao, how did you train Niu ShiLi's leg muscles? Did you run around the field like a rabbit a thousand times? I finally know how Shen ShaoYi feels when facing me!
But that's it! I've played basketball for two or three years and faced countless experts. I won't panic because of the opponent's muscle advantage.
Just like Xiao Qin had a speed advantage when facing me, I also had a speed advantage when facing Niu ShiLi.
I suddenly straightened up and switched from a low dribble to a high dribble, as if I were about to pass the ball.
Although Niu ShiLi was worried that it was just a fake, he still looked at the situation behind him with the corner of his eyes.
In this one hundredth of a second, I suddenly rushed forward and dribbled the ball as low as I could. If a tall person like Niu ShiLi wanted to intercept it, there was an 80% chance that he would get a foul.
After a bit of consideration, he pressed down on my trajectory and stared at his defense. He planned on interfering the moment I made a move, or even block the shot like I did against Xu LiJun.
In the blink of an eye, I had already leaped into the air. My left hand pushed outwards so that Niu ShiLi couldn't get too close, while my right hand lifted the ball high up into the air. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell directly into the net with a pleasant sound of friction.
I admit that I was scared. If I let Niu ShiLi block the shot, I wouldn't know where I would put my face, whether it was as a veteran basketball player or as a sports commissioner.
That's why I used the shot that was least likely to be blocked — — a hook shot. I only had a 30% success rate on these shots. I was originally prepared to grab the rebound.
However, in terms of results, it was quite perfect. I broke through the layers of defense by myself, and the hook shot at the end was almost at the level of an NBA All-Star, making the players' jaws drop.
I said to Niu ShiLi:
"How about it? Since you're wearing Jabbar's goggles, why don't you learn this hook shot? If you learn it, even I can't do anything to you. "
Niu ShiLi furrowed his eyebrows and was unconvinced, but the scene of my hook shot was already engraved in his mind. Other than being unconvinced, he also had a pondering expression on his face.
I never used a hook shot again in the practice match. The reason was simple — — if I used it again, I would be exposed.
