Chapter 584 Xiang Long's Goal

Spain, Valencia.

This is the training arena of the Valencia Basketball Club. Today's training of the Valencia team has come to an end. The players greeted Xiang Long and then left one after another.

The coaching staff has also left.

In addition to Xiang Long, there is only Xiang Long's girlfriend Nicole in the entire arena.

Nicole is still in college. She was a women's basketball player in college and played in the NCAA, but their school's women's basketball team is average, and Nicole's talent is also average. Basically, she has no hope of playing in professional leagues, not to mention wnba, just the second time One or two levels of professional leagues cannot be played.

After being injured in a game some time ago, Nicole simply quit the team to focus on her studies, which also gave her time to occasionally come to Spain to accompany Xiang Long.

This time Nicole came here only the day before yesterday, and she was leaving tomorrow. Xiang Long didn't take her out to play, because Xiang Long was training every day besides the game, and his training tasks were much heavier than the rest of the team.And Xianglong doesn't have any romantic cells.He doesn't know romance at all, not even rhetoric.

But Nicole doesn't care, she doesn't cry or make trouble, every day Xiang Long trains, she sits on the sidelines and watches Xiang Long's training quietly, and she will cheer for Xiang Long on the sidelines during Xiang Long's games.

This is definitely the perfect girlfriend.

A group of Valencia players saw envy, envy and hatred, and began to doubt life. How can a wooden guy like Xiang Long get Nicole's love?
"Shh!"

Standing on the three-point line, Xiang Long flicked his wrist. It was a standard shooting action. The speed of the shot was not fast, but the shape of the hand was good, and the hold after the shot was also very good. The basketball crossed a line and finally made a hollow hit.

Xiang Long then continued.

After all, Valencia is a professional team, and there are still shooting machines. The basketball is collected through a net, and finally ejected by the machine. Xiang Long catches it, makes another shot, and makes another hit.

Several three-pointers in a row, all hit.

This is Xiang Long's main training program in the past two or three months. He is a 210 cm tall power forward with superb physical fitness and skilled inside skills, but he is not satisfied with this. He also requires himself to have excellent control skills , and outside shooting, and three-point shooting is the top priority.

Because Xiang Long's goal is not the Spanish Basketball League, nor the European Basketball League, this is just a springboard, or a transition, his goal is the NBA.

How fierce is the competition in the nba?
The NBA does not lack insiders with excellent physical fitness and low-level skills. Xiang Long knows very well that if he wants to gain a foothold in the NBA and make some achievements, he must also have excellent outside skills.

Three-pointers, mid-range, nothing less!
Xiang Long has always been good in the middle distance, and the three-pointer is also good now. His shooting speed is not fast, even a bit slow, because his take-off height is not high, and he even just stands on tiptoe, and cannot adjust when jumping. time, so it needs to be adjusted before tiptoeing.

This is not good for ordinary people, and it is easy to get blocked, but Xiang Long is a power forward after all, with tall arms and long arms, it is not so easy to block him.

Look at Love, got blocked in the paint, but when did you ever see him get blocked from beyond the arc?

Le Fu is not as tall as Xiang Long!

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and this time the shot hit the iron.

Xiang Long's expression was calm, without the slightest fluctuation, and he continued to shoot, but this time he adjusted the angle slightly, and the basketball flew out and entered the net hollowly.

Nicole watched from the side, her eyes sparkling.

After more than half an hour, Xiang Long stopped.

Nicole got up and handed him a bottle of water, Xiang Long took a sip, Nicole said: "You are already very strong, you don't have to work so hard, you still have to pay attention to the balance between work and rest."

Xiang Long shook his head: "It's not enough, I'm not strong enough."

Not strong enough?

You are now the absolute trump card of the Valencia team, averaging 27 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks per game. You may even get the mvp this season.

This is not strong enough, so how can it be considered strong?
"In the NBA, there are many like me." Xiang Long said, "Not to mention comparing with those people, even comparing with Meng Yun, I'm afraid I may not be able to win. That guy." Speaking of Meng Yun, Xiang Long couldn't help it Shaking his head, he didn't know how to describe it, Meng Yun's performance was really amazing.

Meng Yun's speed of progress was terrifying even to Xiang Long.

Nicole frowned slightly, opened her mouth, and finally said nothing. She wanted to comfort Xiang Long, but she quickly realized that Xiang Long didn't need it, he didn't need anyone's comfort, including Nicole.

Moreover, what Xiang Long said was true. Nicole was studying in the United States, and she also paid attention to the NBA. She knew exactly how amazing Meng Yun played in the Heat. A small half of their entire school became Meng Yun's fans.

Nicole believes in Xiang Long's strength, but if compared with Meng Yun, he may not be an opponent.

"Now people know about Meng Yun, but soon people will know about Xiang Long. By the next season, he will be like Meng Yun and shock the entire NBA." Nicole looked at Xiang Long.

"Let's go." Xiang Long said, and began to pack his things.

Nicole held Xiang Long's arm, and didn't dislike his sweat at all.

Xiang Long doesn't understand romance, and he doesn't know how to talk sweetly, but he is definitely a gentleman. When he was with Nicole, he never let Nicole take things, and he never let Nicole spend money.

All the way out of the arena, the two walked back to Xiang Long's apartment. There was no conversation on the way. Xiang Long thought in his mind: "The nba regular season has come to an end. It is certain that Meng Yun and the others will enter the playoffs, but they don't know if they can get past it." A few rounds. The playoffs are the time to really train people, it is a test for Meng Yun, and it is the same for me."

Of course, for Xiang Long, it is the Spanish Basketball League and the European Basketball League.

Because of the different competition system and schedule, Spanish teams such as Valencia and Real Madrid participate in the Spanish Basketball League and the European Basketball League at the same time, and the schedules of the two leagues are staggered.For example, if you play in the Spanish Basketball League today, you may fly to other places to play in the European Basketball League the next day.

But now it is March, not only the nba regular season is coming to an end, but also the regular seasons of the Spanish Basketball League and the European Basketball League are coming to an end in the European arena.

All teams are starting to prepare for the playoffs.

The Valencia team was originally at the bottom, but with the addition of Xiang Long this season, the team's strength has soared, and the record has improved rapidly. There is no problem entering the playoffs, and it is a certainty.

But entering the playoffs is not Xiang Long's goal. It is not difficult for him to enter the playoffs. The difficulty is to lead the Valencia team through the playoffs and compete for the championship.

Yes, Xianglong's goal is the championship!
This is not a dream, after all, this is the European arena, not the NBA.
