Chapter 126
Holland wanted to make the warm-up match more formal, so he returned to the team locker room and took out some white jerseys.When he returned to the stadium, he changed into the sportswear he didn't usually wear, and handed the jersey to Xu Tian who had finished shooting training.
Xu Tian picked a smaller jersey for Li Feng, assigned him to his white team, and then picked the No. 21 jersey.
Most of the inside players who wear No. 21 are Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan. Now Xu Tian temporarily wears this jersey not to change to a power forward, but because it is the only one he can wear. wear it.
The media reporters arrived at an unusually fast speed. They rushed to the venue before the warm-up match started. They were experienced and immediately turned on the cameras to record.
The basketball atmosphere in the United States is strong. It is normal for NBA stars to go to other places to play or practice. However, there are not many people like Xu Tian who do this, which makes the media reporters very interested.
Holland came to the field with a whistle and acted as the referee for this unofficial game.
Xu Tian is an NBA player, so the players coming to the White team are generally not high, so Xu Tian will execute the mid-circle jump ball.
UCLA's main center is 208 centimeters tall, 7 centimeters taller than Xu Tian, but the agility of the two is quite different, and it was Xu Tian who won the ball for the first time.
Li Feng received the flying basketball, dribbled the ball quickly across the half court, and stopped the ball at the top of the arc in a daze.
Xu Tiandou came out to catch the ball, ignoring the loose defensive opponent in front of him, and made a 28-foot three-pointer.
BANG!
The students in the stadium saw Curry playing like this. Although they didn't feel shocked, they still gave Xu Tian a brief exclamation.
Many people will ignore the gap between professional players and amateur players, even in basketball, which is particularly demanding on the body, the same situation exists. UCLA's main point guard is 193 cm tall, and he is tall for the point guard position. He originally thought that there was not much difference between him and Xu Tian, but when he really faced Xu Tian, who is 201 cm tall, he felt unprecedented pressure.
Xu Tian swung his long arms, without showing any face to the opposing player, and directly blocked the ball from the front.
Li Feng has not experienced systematic basketball training, and his position is out of tune with his teammates, so he can only run outside the three-point line in the bottom corner to open up space.
Xu Tian deftly dribbled and broke through, easily attracting the defensive attention of the four blue team members, and took advantage of the opportunity to distribute the ball to Li Feng who was standing in the bottom corner.
Li Feng got in touch with basketball very early, and all his movements were almost as standard as those recorded in textbooks, and he shot the basketball smoothly and silkily.
With a graceful spin, the ball hits the net with precision.
Holland had rejected Li Feng's application to join the team twice. He knew that this ordinary student had a heart for basketball. Now seeing his unusually standard shooting posture, he suddenly moved to recruit him into the team.
Xu Tian opened his right hand and high-fived Li Feng who came to him.
Li Feng never thought that he could play a formal 5V5 in UCLA's main stadium. The irresistible excitement hit him, giving him an endless desire to perform.
Faced with Xu Tian's NBA-level defense, the seasoned UCLA player still lost his position and failed to score the first few shots.
Looking back, Xu Tian had no worries about the blue team's immature defense at all, and casually connected in series, allowing Li Feng and Xu Wenye, who had solid basic skills, to shine.
Seeing the two Chinese players shoot so accurately, Holland thought it was because of the lax defense of the blue team players, so he whispered to cheer them up and increase their attention on the defensive end.
UCLA is a strong traditional basketball team that attracts a large number of talented young people to the school every year. If it really increases its defensive attention to Li Feng and Xu Wenye, it will still be able to defend against these two.
Seeing that his teammates were in trouble, Xu Tian used a little force on the offensive end to break through the blue team's calmly arranged defense with three punches and two kicks.
Although Li Feng's basic shooting skills are solid, after all, he has not experienced formal training and competitions, and his shooting percentage soon dropped.
Holland's attention was mostly on Xu Tian, and he didn't notice Li Feng's struggle on the offensive end. He still had the idea of recruiting him into the team.
The roots planted by Xu Wenye's usual hard work have borne fruit in the arena today. He basically didn't miss his open shots, and his ridiculously stable mid-range shot left a deep impression on the reporters on the scene.
When Li Lang strolled around and visited the Hall of Fame Memorial Hall, small raindrops fell from the sky, which immediately added a lot of charm to this school.
The competition in the arena couldn't be described as intense, and it quickly became a situation where the white team beat the blue team, and the point difference widened to the point where it could not be recovered.
Holland was concerned that Xu Tian was a professional player, so he stopped the game in a timely manner, leaving time for Xu Tian to carry out regular training programs.
Xu Tian was still thinking about Li Feng and Xu Wenye. When the game came to an end, he walked up to the head coach of the Bruins, Holland, and asked, "Ben, what do you think of Xu and Li?"
Holland's consciousness was still focused on Li Feng's solid basic skills, and he replied casually: "Xu is my player, needless to say. Li's solid basic skills left a deep impression on me."
Xu Tian originally wanted to push the boat along the way, but when he heard this sentence, he said: "Ben! Since you think Li's basic skills are solid, you might as well let him join the team. He doesn't want a basketball scholarship, and he really loves playing basketball. You can definitely give it a try."
Holland knew that Xu Tian said these words out of friendship, but he also knew that Li Feng's smooth and silky dribbling and shooting were by no means a day's work. In a favorable manner, he replied straightforwardly: "No problem, even for your sake, I can still recruit Li into the team, not to mention his basic skills are pretty good."
Xu Tian didn't know whether Holland's words were polite or sincere, but since he had agreed to recruit Li Feng into the team, he also let go of one thing in his heart.
Li Feng didn't know that he was about to join the Bruins. He reluctantly took off the white jersey with UCLA on it, handed it back to the team leader, and walked back to the sidelines.
After Xu Wenye saw Xu Tian's dribbling skills, he clearly realized the gap between the two, and he had countless questions in his heart to ask for advice, so he stood not far from Xu Tian.
Xu Tian ended his conversation with Holland, saw Xu Wenye standing beside him, and asked, "Wenye, do you have anything to say?"
"Where do you think I should develop?" Xu Wenye asked the question he wanted to ask the most, "Or to be more specific, what position should I develop in order to have a chance to play?"
Xu Tian walked up to Xu Wenye, thought for a while and asked, "Do you know Shenzong Ichiro in Slam Dunk?"
Xu Wenye liked to watch Slam Dunk very much, so he naturally knew who Shenzong Ichiro was, and said, "Ashin is a tall shooter, and my situation is different."
"It's not the same, but the direction of effort is the same." Xu Tian patted Xu Wenye on the shoulder, "Even if you can't be Alan Houston, the king of mid-range shots, you still have to be Sasha Vujacic, who can hit free throws on the court!"
When Xu Wenye heard Wu Jiaxiqi, he immediately understood what Xu Tian meant.
