Chapter 12: 1V3 is the most hanging
"Why are you gathering here if you don't train well?" The visitor was Rick Barnes, the head coach of the University of Texas Longhorns. The NCAA coach is no better than the NBA coach. They have absolute authority in the basketball team. After he yelled at everyone, everyone calmed down.
"Coach, China Jiang interrupted our training." Jack Bell glanced at Jiang Yuntao who wanted to fight and said disdainfully.
Bamba also stood up. He had lost all his face just now, and he was so angry that he had nowhere to speak.
"Jiang, I seem to have told you that you have been replaced. Let's continue working hard next year." Rick Barnes just went to the bathroom. When he came back, he happened to see what Jiang Yuntao did. He regarded him as not seeing it. Anyway, Jiang Yuntao has no relationship with the basketball team in the future, so he can drive it away.
"No, Coach Barnes, please give me a reason." After the fight, Jiang Yuntao finally calmed down a lot and asked the head coach rationally.
He also knows that the head coach of the university team has the power of life and death for the players, and he has the final say on whom to choose or not.
"Did you ask directly? So fierce..." Xiao Li knew a little about Jiang Yuntao's personality before, and he was very strong, but in front of the head coach, he would be fine if he had the strength, but if he didn't have the strength, he would wait for the rhythm of being ridiculed.
"I'll tell you." Rick Barnes walked towards Jiang Yuntao and whispered in Jiang Yuntao's ear. This sentence made Jiang Yuntao's eyes turn from empty to lost consciousness, with confusion.
"If it weren't for the 100,000 yuan your dad gave me, I wouldn't have let you join the school team. Do you understand now?" Rick Bennis's words penetrated Jiang Yuntao's chest like a needle, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"I've given you a reason. You're not strong enough. Some stronger people have come in, so, sorry!" Rick Barnes of course couldn't tell the story of his bribery, and said so on the surface.
"Dad..." Jiang Yuntao squatted on the ground without blinking. Xiao Li was ready to drag him away.
There was a voice in his heart shouting: He didn't care about me, but he always cared about me!
I hate me on the surface, but he tried every means to pay me to join the school team!
He made me join the school team for 2 years and spent 100,000 US dollars!
this……
Discomfort, regret, shame, and thousands of thoughts brushed through Jiang Yuntao's heart. What he said to Jiang Wen a day ago is still vivid in my mind...
"It's my son who is useless, I've let your last expectations down!!!" Jiang Yuntao roared in his heart. His father didn't care about him, but did his best to help him fulfill his dream through the Pacific Ocean!
So he can't back down now!
He yelled directly at Rick Barnes, "Who is better than me!! I want to defeat him!"
"Haha." Everyone burst into laughter. When it comes to playing basketball, Jiang Yuntao is only at the middle level even in the whole school.
Rick Barnes touched his hair: "I think... there is no need for this?"
Bamba also laughed: "Can you beat me?"
"Why can't you beat you?" Jiang Yuntao's eyes were full of heat. He was like this. Even if he was not strong now, he was just a tough one!
Bamba's eyelids twitched by Jiang Yuntao's eyes. For some reason, he felt that Jiang Yuntao had a kind of confusing confidence and didn't know where he got his momentum.
But he didn't know that Jiang Yuntao regretted it himself. If he played with Jack Ball, he still had a chance of winning. If he played against Bamba, he would be tortured to death! The offense would be disturbed by the long arms, and the opponent would be pushed to the basket all the way to complete the dunk. The scene was unimaginable.
This is not Zhou Qiangdong, this is one of the top ten high school students in the United States!
"Okay, okay, don't argue anymore, just like that, Jiang, give you the last chance to play a 3V3 training match to prove yourself. 5 goals, if you lose, leave, don't mess around like this, okay?" The head coach came forward in time to stop the students' conflicts. Since it's basketball, then solve it on the basketball court.
Rick Barnes knows Jiang Yuntao's level. He has seen it clearly during training. Hard work is hard work, and three-pointers are also good. However, due to the natural disadvantage of the yellow people, their height and wingspan are not outstanding, their explosiveness and confrontation are not good, and their overall quality is one level worse than professional players. If he enters the NCAA knockout stage this year, he hopes that there will be a defender on the bench who has a better chemical reaction with Bamba, that is Bamba's high school classmate Jack Bell.
So if you throw it away, the 15th player of a team like Jiang Yuntao who is worthy or not.
"Why is it 3V3?" Xiao Li couldn't help asking at this time. He felt that the words of 3V3 were too unfair to Jiang Yuntao. What if both teammates didn't help Jiang Yuntao?
However, the head coach's answer left him speechless: "In the United States, 1V1 is not important, 1V3 is the most important!"
Bamba looked at Jiang Yuntao and the other two with fun. In their eyes, Asian basketball is that they don’t have outstanding personal strength and will only pass around and look for opportunities. In the United States, which advocates heroism, they don’t look down on this style of play.
Now, 1V1 Bullfighting Jiang Yuntao may not be able to beat any defender here, let alone 3V3.
"I accept it." Jiang Yuntao once again proved that he was so irritated, and smiled faintly, and felt a little out of sight.
"Okay, then let's convince you if you quit!" Bamba originally wanted to scold the "yellow dog", but the head coach was there, so he became much more restrained.
"Bamba, Jack Bell, J. Smith, Jiang and Hayes, Thompson and Young." Rick Barnes quickly got the grouping done.
"OK, no problem, Jiang, don't worry, we will work hard to make 5." Hayes and Thompson and Yang are both good, and they are not going to let Jiang Yuntao go, because even if they don't let the water go, they may not win the three people on the other side.
"Whatever you want, just give me the ball." Bamba didn't look at the lineup at all. As long as he kept giving him the ball, it would be easy to score 5 consecutive games.
"I'm fine, 5 balls." Jiang Yuntao took off his coat and exposed the T-shirt inside. This time it was a real battle, so he couldn't fight in a windbreaker.
As Rick Barnes said, American training rarely has 1V1, because 1V1 is basically mutual explosion, but 3V3 half-time training can well reflect a player's overall level. Fierce confrontation with assisted defense, and sometimes even score 1V3 goals.
Jiang Yuntao simply stretched his muscles. The jet lag has not yet fallen back, but he has to grit his teeth and play. If he doesn't prove himself, the team will go to another school to play basketball in a few days.
"Come on, Jiang, you will be the pride of Chinese people." Xiao Li stood aside and held Jiang Yuntao's windbreaker, and the game was about to break out.
Everyone else stood on the sidelines to watch the show. If China Jiang wants to return to the team, he has to prove it to all of them.
"Start!" Rick Barnes gave the ball to Jiang Yuntao first, letting him attack first, which was the final tolerance.
In fact, Jiang Yuntao is the first yellow man to be selected into the basketball team in his 12-year coaching career. It can be seen that if it weren't for the sake of money, how could he have allowed Jiang Yuntao to join the Longhorns?
Jiang Yuntao was anxious and dribbled through directly. Bamba assisted in defense inside. Jiang Yuntao could not pass the ball at all. He barely made a high-curve shot. The ball was hit three times and was directly caught by Bamba while landing.
"It's weak!" Bamba's eyes opened like a copper bell.
