Standing pretty old

Chapter 52 Summer League ([-])

Ruan Erniu suddenly remembered who this person was!Gerald Green, the slam dunk leader in the 2007 All-Star Game.It's a coincidence that he has been on the dunk king bar for the past two days. He just played against Nate Robinson yesterday, and he met Gerald Green today.

In the attacking round of the national team, Ruan Erniu directly lifted the high position and took the ball from Liu Wei.Naturally made a fake shot, facing Glen Davis who was slowly blocked, easily broke through the opponent, then took off high, dunked with a flat basket, and ended the battle.

The bench of the national team burst into cheers.Since the arrival of Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, the number of dunks in the national team games has gradually increased.But an explosive dunk like Erniu's is the first of its kind.

When Ruan Erniu returned to the defense, he smiled and glanced at the silent Gerald Green.This introverted teenager took the initiative to ask Rondo on the outside.Rondo regretted it as soon as he passed the ball, because Green's eyes were a little bit wrong, and he was a little bit hot.

Sure enough, Gerald Green, who strode through Wang Shipeng's defense, rushed towards Ruan Erniu with a clear purpose: he wanted to block the dunk!

elegant!Lightness!Quick!These are all synonymous with Gerald Green dunking.It's a pity that in the face of Ruan Erniu's overwhelming cover, all of these were torn to shreds.

"Bang!" The ball flew out.

Ruan Erniu, who was flying with the racket, rushed forward quickly. Zhu Fangyu got the basketball immediately and threw it in the direction of Ruan Erniu.

Er Niu received the basketball inside the three-point line, took a big step into the free throw line, then jumped high, and ended the transition with another terrifying dunk.And the bench of the national team simply howled crazily this time.

Once upon a time, those who envied those opponents with outstanding physical talents who could cheer wildly after wantonly bombing the rim, finally got the same chance to vent. This is a rare professional experience for a basketball player.

"Calm down! He is alone, don't fight with him, brother, you are the best!" Rondo immediately enlightened his teammates.

When the opponent's morale was boosted, Rondo knew very well that regardless of shooting or dunking, 2 points are 2 points, and it is no big deal at all.In the next round, he used the big baby's pick-and-roll to easily get a layup opportunity. After avoiding Ruan Erniu, he easily scored 2 points.

The calm and calm Rondo gave Ruan Erniu a bad feeling that this game might be very difficult.

Ruan Erniu's premonition did not have any problems, the reason was not him, but the physical strength of the national team was once again tested.

Physical fitness is definitely not something that can be improved by training in three or two days.This requires a long process of recovery and storage.Without weeks or even months of training, there will be no fundamental change at all.

If it is said that before the last 5 minutes of the second half, the two teams were still anxious and refused to give in to each other, it was the last 5 minutes.It is obvious that the Tianchao men's basketball team can't keep up with the opponent's rhythm.

I don't know if it's because Lao You's on-the-spot reaction was a little slower, or because he was afraid that the new players would not be able to keep up with the rhythm.Anyway, during the most critical period of time, no substitutions took place.

Ruan Erniu watched helplessly as the national team was shot into a sieve at the last moment.

Gabe Pruitt, Gerald Green, and even Rondo found open spots and hit 3-pointers one after another.No matter how awesome Ruan Erniu is, he is also helpless when faced with such a dense outside shooting.

69:80 With the last wave of super offensive, the Celtics defeated the weak Chinese men's basketball team.

The Chinese men's basketball team finally failed to win the last summer league game. Facts have proved that there is no way to win the game with only one superstar and weak role players.

Ruan Erniu, who still scored terrifying statistics, shook hands with Rondo after the game and hugged each other.Erniu said that he would play against Rondo in the preseason, regular season or playoffs.

Rajon Rondo is very happy because this is his recognition.Under normal circumstances, a proud man like Ruan Erniu is destined to become the core of the team's training, while a player with mediocre talent like him may have to do his best for a main spot and playing time.

Rondo would not have thought at this time that things like opportunities would come as soon as they were mentioned.

Ruan Erniu said to the introverted Gerald Green: "You won this time, dunk king! However, there is still a no-fly zone above my head. I look forward to the next fight with you!"

Gerald Green said with a smile: "Kraft, I will definitely find a chance to dunk on your head!"

Ruan Erniu also smiled and said, "I'll wait and see, but you'd better be prepared to get hurt!"

After the game, the national team conducted a summary and research.

In the words of Deputy Director Hu, this is called criticism and self-criticism.

Ruan Erniu didn't criticize himself too much, but criticized directly, and he has the qualifications now.

"Our physical fitness and strength training must keep up! Everyone has also seen that the physical talents of the Americans are not as good as our opponents on the whole, but their strength and physical fitness are also acquired. I think our strength training It is too different from physical training. Modern basketball, in the final analysis, is a comparison of basic training. This is what we lack most now!"

Watching the national team play against American opponents, Chinese audiences often have the illusion that the speed and frequency of the two teams are not in the same rhythm.What is the cause of this?It is definitely not just the difference of race, the bigger reason lies in muscle strength.

Don't be fooled by comics or novels that say too much muscle slows you down.Muscle is the most basic guarantee of strength and speed. Without sufficient muscle strength, all technical movements will be deformed in strong confrontation.

The same is true for physical training. In an increasingly fierce confrontation, physical fitness means almost everything.You can't even run, and you can still count on defending your opponent, unless your skill has reached the level of a sweeping monk, and you can send out an invisible wall of energy at every turn.

In fact, anyone can say the truth, but it is extremely difficult to implement things.

The Chinese national team has actually gathered the best training resources, but once these players return to the local clubs, they immediately return to the state of herding sheep.Sometimes, it's not that they don't want to train, it's because of manpower, material resources, atmosphere and many other factors.It is necessary to shorten the league every time there is a major competition, and sometimes it is indeed a helpless move.

Except Er Niu, all other players will return to China to participate in the Stankovic Cup at the end of the month.

Er Niu learned from Sun Yue that the Lakers are not planning to sign him for the time being, and he still needs to prove himself by his performance in the international arena.

Alian's return made him puzzled. At this time, shouldn't he go to the king to report?But in the final analysis, this is also A Lian's own decision, and Ruan Erniu has no right to interfere too much.

Saying goodbye to his teammates in the national team, Er Niu packed his bags and boarded the plane. His next stop was Atlanta.
