Chapter 180 Reserve Team Situation (45)

It's like saying: Your passing is your greatest weakness. "It's this again!" Li Yifan muttered in a low voice.

"Why, not convinced?"

"Of course!" Li Yifan confessed with his head held high.

Coach Wang Tao gave Li Yifan another "incurable" emoji, and said, "I know you won't turn back if you don't hit the south wall. I'll convince you."

Li Yifan didn't say a word, and quietly looked at coach Wang Tao with an expression of "see how you convince Li Yifan".

Coach Wang Tao said: "Your dribbling is very smooth and proficient, and its proficiency is enough to make every player in the Hongyuan reserve team jealous. This is your best point. You can tell by your current expression that you are very fond of your dribbling. There is also very strong confidence.”

Li Yifan had a "of course" look on his face.

"Your self-confidence is most evident in the dribble breakthrough. Do you know how many breakthroughs you have made in this game? Both successful and unsuccessful ones count."

"Not counted."

"30 times."

"Is there so much?"

"Nonsense, of course this is the result of statistics!"

"Okay, trust you, what does this mean?"

"What do you think this can explain!"

"It means I'm a genius!"

"Idiot, this shows that you, an idiot, want to break through when you get the ball."

"Is that so? I've got a lot of passes."

"Most of them were passed on after you broke through."

I turned my head sideways and thought for a while, as if it was true, I was speechless.

"Break through when you get the ball, who do you think you are, how much energy do you think you have for you to squander like this?"

Li Yifan's head was not as high as before, and he was still distinguishing: "I break through because of the tactical needs, break through to disrupt the opponent's defense, and then distribute the ball."

"Bullshit, why do you have to break through and score the ball? Can't you score yourself? You still have to break through and score the ball even if you have already entered your shooting range. Even if you don't shoot the basket, most of the time you and the No. It can create gaps for passing the ball!" In fact, in the game, Li Yifan was not as miserable as coach Wang Tao said, but at this time, what coach Wang Tao did was to find faults in the egg and try his best to find faults.

Li Yifan was blushed by coach Wang Tao's criticism. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find a word to refute, so he could only hold his neck and say: "Li Yifan's breakthroughs are a little too much, but it doesn't mean that 'ball control and breakthroughs are my weaknesses. Bar'?"

"Nonsense, this is just one of them. Remember, this is the first weakness: overconfidence in your own possession, and breaking through after getting the ball has become your automatic reaction."

"Then there is a second one?" Li Yifan stared at Coach Wang Tao with his eyes wide open.

"What do you think?" Coach Wang Tao squinted at Li Yifan.

From the beginning to the end, the conversation between the two fell into the ears of Zhang Yiping, who was next to him with Erlang's legs crossed. Looking at the expressions of the two people, Zhang Yiping finally couldn't help bursting out into a burst of laughter.

The two people with big eyes and small eyes glanced at Zhang Yiping, then turned around and continued to look at each other.At this time, the two of them didn't seem to care much about Zhang Yiping's laughter.

"Hey..." Zhang Yiping's laughter gradually died down when he couldn't get a response from the two of them.Touching his nose, Zhang Yiping helplessly looked at the two big and small people staring at each other.

Li Yifan, who was eager to get back, urged: "Quickly talk about the second point."

Coach Wang Tao coughed dryly, and said slowly: "I'm a little thirsty after talking so much!"

Glaring at Coach Wang Tao, Li Yifan stood up.

An opened bottle of mineral water was heavily placed in front of Coach Wang Tao: "Drink it!" Li Yifan said heavily.

Coach Wang Tao took a few sips of mineral water, put it down, and let out a long and comfortable breath. His expression was as comfortable as if he had just won a battle, and Li Yifan next to him felt his teeth itch.

"I'll tell you now, your second weakness." Under Li Yifan's murderous gaze, Coach Wang Tao finally spoke.

"Look at your dribble..." Coach Wang Tao controlled the remote control in his hand, the screen changed, and the scene of Li Yifan dribbling and preparing to break through appeared on the screen and played.

The eyes of the three people in the room were watching Li Yifan's movements on the screen at the same time.

Dodging left, rushing right, turning around, accelerating, stepping down and swinging back... Li Yifan, who swayed past the defenders, finally crossed the Beijing Olympic team's defense with a behind-the-scenes change of hands, jumped up and shot the basket, and the basketball hit the first place.

Gorgeous, wonderful, beautiful, flawless drive shot.This is Li Yifan's own evaluation of the ball in his heart, "Wang Tao still has a little vision, and he picked out his most standard breakthrough all at once." He thought secretly in his heart.

"Looking at your expression, are you satisfied with this performance?"

Li Yifan seemed to be trying to regain the face he just lost, and proudly said: "Of course, is there a more exciting breakthrough than this?"

Coach Wang Tao leaned closer to Li Yifan and said mischievously, "If I told you that such a breakthrough is nothing but bullshit, would you jump off a building?"

"What's better than bullshit?" Li Yifan blushed all of a sudden, "You say this breakthrough is worse than bullshit?"

"Do you want me to repeat it?" Coach Wang Tao didn't seem to see the anger on Li Yifan's face, so he picked up the mineral water he had just put down and took a sip.

Li Yifan stood up, furious, and said, "If you can't tell the reason, even if you are Wang Tao, I won't forgive you." Unconsciously, Li Yifan blurted out "Wang Tao" instead of the head coach. The "Wang Tao" in his mind is much more important than the head coach of the Hongyuan reserve team.

Coach Wang Tao turned a blind eye to Li Yifan's anger, and continued to add fuel to the flames, with disdain hanging from the corner of his mouth, he said, "Is there any reason for this? You are just juggling!"

"Jooggling?" Li Yifan's flushed purple face showed that the anger in his heart had accumulated to the extreme.

Coach Wang Tao glanced at Li Yifan and asked, "Tell me your understanding of breakthrough."

Li Yifan replied without hesitation: "Breakthrough is of course cheating the defender with fake moves, and surpassing the defender."

"Is this your understanding?"

"Sure, what's the problem?"

Coach Wang Tao patted his forehead weakly with his right foot, and sighed: "No wonder your breakthrough is juggling." The expression seemed to be suddenly enlightened and heartbroken.

Coach Wang Tao's reaction made Li Yifan stunned for a moment, his anger eased, and he asked, "Is there any problem with my answer?"

Coach Wang Tao answered irrelevantly, and asked instead: "Do you know the best guard in the NBA right now?"

"Know how many, what does this have to do with Li Yifan?"

Coach Wang Tao didn't answer, he stood up and rummaged in the cabinet, and after a while he took out a roll of video tape and stuffed it into the video recorder.Go back to your seat and turn on the remote.

Li Yifan's puzzled eyes turned to the screen, and what was shown on the screen was the highlights of the two people's breakthrough that Li Yifan said.I really don't know if coach Wang Tao is a prophet, but such a video tape has been prepared.

The short video will end soon.

"finish watching?"

"Ok!"

"Tell me, what do you think of the breakthrough of these two?"

"Of course it's great."

"What about you?"

"Nonsense, of course they are much better than me. What do they have to do with me?" Li Yifan was already impatient, and now he just wanted Coach Wang Tao to tell the reason.

Coach Wang Tao ignored his impatience and continued to ask: "Do you see any difference between their breakthrough and yours?"

Li Yifan thought for a while, and said impatiently: "Everyone has their own unique skills, and it is only natural that they are different."

"That's right, everyone has their unique skills, so what is your unique skill?"

Li Yifan's trick?Li Yifan was stunned.I searched in my mind for a long time and there was no result.

Coach Wang Tao Youyou said, "Let me tell you, you don't have a unique skill at all."

Li Yifan opened his mouth to refute, opened and closed his mouth a few times but didn't say a word, because he found that he really didn't have any real tricks.

He had nothing to say, but Coach Wang Tao's voice became high: "Let me tell you how they are different from you. Compared with your dazzling tricks, their movements are simple and practical. Most of the time, they complete a pass with one acceleration and one turn. What about you, dodging left, sudden right, turning, accelerating, stepping back and forth... You can see almost all of these breakthrough methods in one of your breakthroughs. Why do you think your skills are too fancy, too many Redundancy, this is gimmicky, this is redundancy! Dazzling dribbles and rushing past the defender is your breakthrough. In your opinion, a breakthrough is equivalent to a fake move to deceive the opponent, which is a naive understanding!"

"In addition to being fancy, your technique also includes too many unconventional movements. Too many unconventional movements not only consume your physical energy, but also increase the burden on your body muscles. In addition, your bullshit breakthroughs, muscles The burden is even heavier, which is why you are always more likely to be injured than others.

Li Yifan was so choked that he was speechless, his face flushed red but he couldn't speak, and his head lowered unintentionally.

And coach Wang Tao seemed to be unreasonable, and his voice became louder and almost angrily said: "Your naive understanding determines that you cannot have your own unique skills. What is a breakthrough? It is footwork and dribbling skills." Combining them to surpass the opponent's offensive skills. In your breakthrough, although there are footsteps, but in my opinion, it is just to match your dribbling. You are so proud of your dribbling skills, proud It makes you forget about the use of other technical moves. Your starting speed is unmatched, but can you remember how many times you really used speed to pass through opponents?"

Li Yifan lowered his head and remained silent.

In fact, Li Yifan's breakthrough in the game was not as unbearable as coach Wang Tao said. Most of the time he faced more than two defensive opponents.However, although coach Wang Tao's words were exaggerated, Li Yifan did not refute at all.

Wow!At this moment, he was completely shocked by the words of coach Wang Tao, and the pride and impatience just now turned into shame and vigilance in a blink of an eye.

Coach Wang Tao looked at his face, and asked in a slow tone, "Do you still remember those trainings these days?"

"Dribbling, shooting, and today's confrontation training."

"Nonsense, I'm talking about training related to dribbling."

Li Yifan recalled the training related to dribbling in his mind in doubt, and secretly raised his head to look at Coach Wang Tao, there was nothing special about it.

"Idiot, I really don't know what you have learned in the past few days of training. When you are dribbling, you should step forward, turn around and explore your shoulders, and push and release the ball to accelerate. These are the basic training for breakthroughs. You still have feelings I don’t understand what these trainings are for.”

Li Yifan showed a thoughtful expression, obviously he didn't really appreciate the meaning of training these days.Although he has completed the training arranged by Zhang Yiping without compromise, in fact, deep down in his heart, he still disapproves of these basic trainings.After the arduous training, when he returned to the dormitory, he always fell on the bed, and he had to take out his books to review his homework when he had some time, so he had no chance to appreciate the purpose of the training.

"Footwork, fast and powerful kicking of the two legs, striding, leaning the upper body forward, through the rapid forward leaning of the center of gravity, the positive and favorable kicking can obtain the acceleration beyond the opponent; turn the body to explore the shoulders, and stick to the opponent's side during the confrontation , Occupy a powerful space position, this is to protect the good ball and break through the opponent; push and release the ball to accelerate, step across, turn around and explore the shoulders at the same time..."

Coach Wang Tao talked endlessly. Li Yifan nodded like a chicken pecking rice while confirming the training in the past few days.

Coach Wang Tao finished speaking, and there was a silence in the video room.Li Yifan was thinking quietly, digesting what Coach Wang Tao said just now.After a long time, he finally noticed the silence in the room, the voice of coach Wang Tao sounded: "Are you convinced?"

"Convinced, convinced!"

……

That night.

The voice of "Papapa..." came from an arena. There were no lights in the dimly lit arena. With the afterglow of the street lights outside the arena, it could be seen that a boy was flashing left and right with a ball.

"Papapa..." The sound of dribbling the ball at an uncertain speed.

"Chichi..." There was a fierce friction of sneakers on the floor.

There is also the low voice of the young man talking to himself: "kicking, striding, turning..."

In the shadow under the tree outside the museum, two people stood there quietly.

"As expected, Li Yifan is indeed here!"

"He wouldn't be Li Yifan if he wasn't here."

……

In this way, Li Yifan continued to improve himself according to the reminders of the two, and finally, he had achieved something.

G6 this time also arrived.

"Don't worry, we won't lose!" Wang Tao used to cheer up his teammates before the game, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Everyone still kept their heads down. You do yours and I do mine.

Seeing this situation, Li Yifan was so angry that he threw the towel in his hand and slammed it on the floor. The soft towel made contact with the floor, but it didn't make much sound, but it clearly hit everyone's heart.

"Isn't it just losing a few games? What's the big deal. If it doesn't work, we'll just admit defeat...:... See, aren't you all looking forward to it? Take off your uniforms, put on your tshirts and you'll be there immediately You can leave here in style, leave this stadium that makes you feel very uncomfortable, and let the noise of tens of thousands of people outside them go to hell!"

Li Yifan is really popular. His dream of becoming a champion is approaching step by step, but it is really unacceptable to him that his dream is about to be shattered a few days later. People without fighting spirit are like zombies and beasts, without their own thoughts, and without the peaceful mentality of being aggressive and fighting.

At this juncture, no one dared to speak, and all kept their heads down except Jiang Dongyu. Jiang Dongyu looked around at everyone, then looked at Li Yifan and nodded, then suddenly shouted loudly: "What do you mean, I, Jiang Dongyu, would rather stand I don't want to be a tortoise bastard who retreats in battle even if I die vigorously in battle!"

As soon as Jiang Dongyu finished speaking, many people raised their heads.

"But spirits like us are not for the opponent! We don't have a chance like this. Are we really a group of poor people who go on the stage to serve as a foil for others to witness the successful coronation of others?" Li Yifan yelled at the veins on his neck It has burst out.

"Of course not!" Jiang Dongyu exclaimed, "I always thought that the championship will still be ours. Why should we lose? We have worked so hard for so long, is it just to win a runner-up? I am not reconciled...you are willing Is it?" The last sentence was shouted at the others.

"I'm not reconciled!" Many people yelled that they were really not reconciled.

"Look at the scars on everyone's body, it is a testimony of determination. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a player who doesn't want to be a champion is not a good player! Everyone has come to this point. Just take another step forward to touch the golden skin. The trophy is here, look at the bright fingers on everyone's hands... What reason do we have to give up!" Li Yifan exclaimed passionately.

Everyone's face was raised and they looked at Li Yifan with fierce eyes. There was no one who looked down at the floor just now. Everyone's fists were clenched or their lips were biting, and dissatisfaction was written all over their faces.

"Now is not the time to be so pessimistic!" Li Yifan changed his voice and gave everyone hope again. "We are fully capable of winning this game. If we can return to our home court, our chances of winning the final victory will be greater... Do you have confidence?"

"Yes...!" It sounded as full of air as before.

At this time, Wang Tao appeared appropriately and gave Li Yifan a good impression. After that, Li Yifan nodded and did not continue his speech.

"It's time for the children to test us!" Wang Tao clapped his hands. "I just went out for a walk..."

After a pause, he said with a bit of self-deprecation: "It seems that we are already fish on other people's chopping boards. They have already prepared the celebration ceremony at the home court. There is joy everywhere. If I don't remember that there will be a game later, I won't be able to see it. Later we will compare life and death with them... Oh, I misunderstood, they helped us decide life and death one level earlier!"

"Hmph!" Many people, including Li Yifan, had already begun to vent their anger through their nostrils, and the corners of their mouths turned up, writing their inner anger on their faces.

"Will we be slaughtered by them?" Wang Tao asked every word with agitation.

"No!" came the resounding reply.

"Then are we fish?"

"No!" More loudly.

"Then what are we?"

"Idiot!" The resounding slogan set off the gloom in the locker room and compressed the tense air like a bolt of lightning across the hazy night sky. It also set off the prelude to the Hongyuan reserve team's Jedi counterattack.

"Good evening, CCTV viewers!" the white commentator said in BJ's studio. "This is the sixth and most critical match between the two sides. The match between the two sides is about to start. Now we will switch the camera to the scene!" He could hear envy in his tone.

"Hello, everyone. It's 7:3 p.m. local time in China. We are now live broadcasting this game at the Beijing Olympic team's home stadium. I believe everyone knows the key to this game. The Beijing Olympic team can succeed as long as they win this game." Judging from the current situation, the hope of Beijing Olympic team is also relatively high. The whole team is very optimistic and they are ready to celebrate. You can see the sea of ​​flowers and ribbons behind us..." The atmosphere next to it is very real It was too warm, and Sun Yiping basically yelled.

Blue's on-site commentator only seized the opportunity to say something at this time: "Of course, everyone knows that his purpose is to present awards to the Beijing Olympic team... But can the Beijing Olympic team really reach the top tonight?"

"Oh, I don't know either!"

"That's right, we don't know now, but it is conceivable that Li Yifan and his Hongyuan reserve team will not let their premeditated plan succeed so easily... Everyone sees that they have appeared on the stage now."

Their appearance brought the atmosphere of the audience to a climax. The home fans all stood up for their heroes, especially Long Xun's outstanding performance in these games won him the most applause. Their expressions were relaxed and full of confidence. They beckoned to the fans and entered the arena and ran around with ease, chatting with each other.

"Everyone, hurry up and see that the Hongyuan reserve team has also come out of the passage. Their expressions are a bit solemn. En Jiang Dongyu is the first to appear. Ma Jue and Zhang Shaonian are walking in the middle of the team. Next to them are Mr. Jiang and Ma Longqiang... Li Yifan is the last one!"

After Li Yifan and others entered the stage, they first slowly walked to their own seats, took off their coats, and then slowly began to relax their muscles and bones. They ran around silently and saw that everyone was very psychologically heavy. Basically, no one spoke. Even many reporters who wanted to interview Li Yifan and others before the game were politely rejected. This was hard to imagine in the past, but Li Yifan gave a thumbs up to the commentary booth of CCTV in the end. This action reassured many Chinese viewers. A lot of this shows that Li Yifan is under pressure, but the pressure is not too great to bear, which is better. Many people are sweating when they see Li Yifan's solemn expression, and the excessive tension and concern may cause mental imbalance.
