Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 6 This kid is destined for me!
Seeing PS, Woody knew that this achievement point is very fragrant, and this task must be completed.

There was a moment of sluggishness. Seeing that Woody didn't respond, the student next to him quickly patted his elbow and whispered a reminder: "Hey, buddy, are you scared? Ben Wallace is calling you to go up!"

The hand pushed him forward.

Ben Wallace had a panoramic view of all this, and he also thought that Woody was frightened, so he comforted him: "Dude, don't be nervous, just play normally later!"

Woody didn't react, he was thinking about how to impress Ben Wallace.

His talent is unquestionable, and in a month's time, he believes he can make great progress.

If this first side can give Ben Wallace an unforgettable impression.

It will not be difficult to think about completing the task!
But how to leave an unforgettable impression on Ben Wallace?
At least it should be better than Perkins just now!
so i have to...

Grab at least one rebound?
Woody frowned slightly. He saw the just-concluded confrontation at the basket. Perkins' basic skills were much better than him. He didn't grab the rebound in front of Ben Wallace, let alone a pure rookie with no basic skills!

Since you can't grab rebounds, you have to change your mind...

Woody made up his mind, and the trainer slammed the basketball into the rim.

The duel begins!
The moment the ball hit the basket, Woody's first reaction was to rush forward to fight for it. Ben Wallace had been paying attention to his movements. Seeing him actively going around, he made a judgment in his heart.

At the same time, I feel that although Woody's skin color is different from the previous two, it is obviously nothing new!

Compared with the skills of getting around the front and blocking positions, how do these little guys compare with him, the league's "rebound king"?
to learn...

Eh?
Ben Wallace thought he had seen through Woody's intentions, but when he got stuck in the first step and was about to take off to grab the rebound, Woody continued to circle forward and increased the intensity of the confrontation. Ben Wallace originally planned to push him away and receive the rebound at the moment the ball was about to fall.But Woody kept exerting his strength and didn't give him this chance at all. During the confrontation, Ben Wallace watched the ball fall to the ground and made a "bang" sound.

In the silence of the scene, the sound of the ball hitting the ground echoed throughout the arena.

"Again!"

Ben Wallace didn't say anything, just motioned to the trainer who threw the ball, and threw it again.

This time it was the same, Woody pretended to be stuck to grab a rebound, but when the ball was about to pop out, he continued to fight against Ben Wallace, so that he had no chance to take off.

The ball fell to the ground again, as if it was a replay of the scene just now.

The students were astonished.

What does this mean?
You're a rebounder, Huaxia!

Ben Wallace's mind also went down a bit, and he looked at Woody blankly, wanting an explanation.

Woody let out a sigh of relief. He confronted Ben Wallace twice. He felt the latter's astonishing strength. He deserved to be the top blue-collar in the NBA.

He explained: "Looking at the confrontation with those two just now, I know very well that I won't have any chance of winning if I grab a rebound from you, so I decided to change the angle. Since I can't grab the rebound from you, as long as you can't get the rebound, then I can't count as a loser, can I?"

These words made the trainer on the sidelines show a suddenly realized expression.Ben Wallace was stunned for two seconds, and the expression on his face was a little bit more like "you are a fucking genius".

"Boy, you are very good!" He boasted without hesitation, his eyes full of appreciation.Woody is, in the words of his head coach Rick Carlisle, "someone with a super high basketball IQ." In other words:

This is a game of brains!
After Woody explained off the court, there was more uproar.

Woody's explanation made them suddenly understand.At the same time, they subconsciously glanced at Perkins next to him. Just now they thought Perkins was very powerful. After wrestling with Ben Wallace for so long, they now felt that Perkins was just a brute force!
But Mang has a fart!
Check out the results now...

Come out to grab rebounds, talk about strategy, and play with your brain!

Perkins looked embarrassed, especially after hearing Ben Wallace's praise of Woody.

You know, he was out of breath just now, and he didn't get the compliment from Ben Wallace.Now this guy has only been up for two rounds, and Ben Wallace appreciates it.

Moreover, Woody's "problem-solving ideas" seemed like he was very dumb just now, like a bully who would only head-to-head.

The doubts were answered, and the duel continued. After taking precautions in his heart, Ben Wallace didn't let Woody succeed again. He pushed Woody hard and successfully received the rebound.

There was more regret in his eyes.

The basketball IQ is good, but the basic skills are a bit weak.

In the following time, Woody retreated steadily.But there is no way, the physical fitness he is most proud of is far behind Ben Wallace, not to mention the basic skills of rebounding at the basket.

There is no advantage at all.

Losing is also a very normal thing!

"Man, you have to strengthen your basic skills training! Just relying on a little cleverness is useless!" Ben Wallace threw a trash talk.

When Perkins heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

In this comparison, it seems that his performance is still the best among the three.

It was just Woody's answer that made everyone stunned again.

"This is my first day of systematic training!"

"What?" Ben Wallace was stunned again, repeating in disbelief, "Day one?"

The other students off the field were also stunned.

"You mean you've never played basketball?"

Although Woody's performance in the confrontation is not as good as Perkins, but no matter how you look at it, it will not make people feel that he is a novice.

Woody explained: "I used to prefer fighting and rugby, so I am no stranger to some confrontation skills, but this is indeed my first contact with the basket confrontation. I just agreed with our coach to join the school team half a month ago."

Ben Wallace gets interested: "How old are you, man?"

"17..."

That is, senior year!

"You never touched basketball before?"

"no!"

"So why did you suddenly choose basketball?" Ben Wallace thought of a certain possibility, "Do you want to be the next Yao Ming?"

Woody didn't deny it.

Among the Chinese who play basketball, who doesn't want to be the next "Yao Ming"?

"With your height, it's actually more suitable to play outside, right?"

Woody "tell the truth": "I prefer the confrontation in the paint, just like Ben!"

Ben Wallace was already very satisfied when he heard Woody say that he likes confrontation and only wants to play inside.

Hearing Woody say "just like Ben you", he is full of liking for Woody.

exactly!
I played inside because I like confrontation!
It's not because I can't dribble, I can't shoot, I can't hit the perimeter~
Are the little guys talking so well nowadays?
The more Ben Wallace looked at Woody, the happier he felt.

So happy that I wanted to give Woody a haircut.

He smiled...

"Interesting, really interesting!"

During the conversation, Ben Wallace looked Woody up and down, his static talent was visible to the naked eye, and his potential could also be felt in the confrontation just now.

His eyes gradually brightened, like owls at night, and seemed to be looking at some rough jade. ——If Woody is telling the truth, then he really is a "treasure boy".

For such a "genius newcomer", Ben Wallace is really interested.

Back then, Oakley discovered his gem in the rough, taught him by precept and example, and introduced him to colleges. Although he was still undrafted in the 96 draft, after several twists and turns, he finally made it through.

Now that he has just become the NBA's "Best Defensive Player of the Season", he meets this potential rookie who has not trained systematically for a day in the training camp. He thinks it is a kind of fate.

To put it more succinctly:
This kid is destined for me!
His eyes gradually became serious, looking directly into Woody's eyes, he asked very seriously: "Dude, tell me, do you really want to play basketball?"

Woody nodded.

There is no doubt about this.

No matter what his purpose is, at this moment, he really really wants to play basketball!
"Well then, kid, you have to remember, this road will be difficult!" After saying this, Ben Wallace looked at the other students, "I want to give these words to you too!"

"Playing basketball is indeed a very good way out, but you are not the only ones who want to become millionaires and multi-millionaires through playing basketball, there are countless people who are working hard for it. What you have to defeat is one opponent after another, including geniuses who are much more talented than you. Remember, only sweat can catch up with talent!"

In fact, Ben Wallace knows very well that sweat can't make up for the gap in talent.

The so-called hard work can only be useful if you have a certain amount of talent.But facing those eyes full of hope, he couldn't tell the cruel truth.

The world needs "chicken soup"!
He looked at Woody again, and expressed his thoughts: "Dude, you can train with me next!"

As soon as these words came out, all the students in the audience admired him.

Especially Perkins.

He came to AND1 just hoping to get advice from Ben Wallace. As a result, Ben Wallace was indeed willing to give advice, but the person who gave advice was Woody.

Obviously I was the first!

I was the first to call out my name just now...

Ben Wallace offered to invite Woody to train with him, much to Woody's delight.

At the same time, a coquettish idea popped into my mind:

If I reject him outright...

As a man that Ben Wallace can't get, the impression must be full, right?
Can't this task be completed directly?
However, in the end Woody decided to play it safe and chose to agree.

Training with the top rebounders in the NBA is something that no amount of money can afford.This opportunity cannot be missed.

He can use his outstanding talent to slowly deepen Ben Wallace's impression of him and complete systematic tasks.

　The second update today, brothers, please ask for a ticket, see you tomorrow.
