One Guard

Although the summer has passed, the sun is still shining after three o'clock in the afternoon.

On the outdoor basketball court of Butler University, countless teenagers are sweating under the scorching temperature. For college students who have not fully entered the society, it is a very pleasant thing to spend an entire afternoon on the basketball court.

Butler University has a lot of basketball courts. After all, they are a school that is qualified to play in the first division of the NCAA. The basketball atmosphere is still very strong in this school, especially after the Bulldogs just won last night.

But among them, there is a field that is very special. This is an open field surrounded by big trees, and the basketball court is separated from the outside world by high barbed wire.

In the basketball court, there is only one person shooting. But behind the barbed wire fence outside the basketball court, countless men and women are crowded!

"Oh my god, he looks much stronger from a close distance than last night!"

"It doesn't look too high, he actually beat Harlan Gaudi yesterday!"

"Hey, Tina, you can accompany me to ask for his phone number later, okay?"

Countless people outside the barbed wire commented on the guy who shot in the field, but no one dared to step into that field.

After last night's game, Yiyang's popularity has grown, not to mention, but at least on the campus of Butler University, he is definitely a star.

Today is the second day after the game, Stevens didn't arrange training, but Yiyang couldn't hold back anymore, so he decided to go to the street court he was familiar with to play.

The weather was fine this afternoon, and there were clearly a lot of people playing. But Yiyang looked around, and still no one stepped into the field.

"Hey." Looking at the chattering crowd outside the barbed wire, Yi Yang shook his head in disappointment.

One person shot here for most of the day, but still failed to make a game. Yiyang picked up the basketball and prepared to leave. It seems that today, this game addiction will not be over.

Just as he stepped out of the basketball court, countless girls screamed exaggeratedly, and some boys also took the opportunity to pat Yiyang on the shoulder.

How did Yiyang know that after the game yesterday, no one in this school would dare to play with him on the field.

A guy who can smash Harlan Gaudi into a sieve, wouldn't it be self-defeating to fight against him?

Yiyang didn't wave and smile at his fans like other college stars.

This guy didn't even look back, he didn't even have an expression on his face, he just left with the basketball in his arms.

It takes a long time for a guy who is used to loneliness to accept the life of attention.

After getting away from the crowd, Yiyang sat down on a bench, and his presence naturally scared away the sparrows that roosted here.

Yiyang took out his mobile phone, he rarely took the initiative to call anyone other than his mother. But today, he had to make this call.

After dialing that number, the phone rang twice and was connected immediately.

"What's wrong? Also." On the other end of the phone was Stevens' voice.

"Stevens, you said you would rework my training plan, you said you would let me play professional basketball, play in the NBA. But look at what we have done in the past three days? Except last night Outside of one game, all I do is rest! I may not have seen much, but I'm no fool! I know what pro basketball and the NBA mean, and I also know that no player ever made it to pro basketball by resting field!" Yiyang did not respect Stevens as coach or sir, because Yiyang is used to calling him by his first name. Secondly, Yiyang is indeed a little angry now.

He didn't want to waste a day doing nothing like this. How could he not take action on the things that had been agreed?

Stevens on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment,

After that, exaggerated laughter burst out.

"Hahahahaha, you are the first person who gave up taking a rest after the game and asked for training actively after I have been a coach for so many years! My God, there are actually people in this world who like to torture themselves. The reason why I did it at the beginning of the game I asked you to rest the day before and the day after, so that everyone can maximize their recovery and avoid injuries. Since you are so persistent, that's good. I will wait for you at the training ground at six o'clock this afternoon. Change your equipment Also, do you want to train? I will train you!"

"Okay, six o'clock, training hall, see you soon." Yi Yang hung up the phone and glanced at the sunny sky. The time of leisure and leisure, it is time to end.

※※※

When Yiyang changed his clothes and stepped into the stadium last night, Brad Stevens was already waiting there.

The two looked at each other on the empty basketball court. It was not until Stevens waved to Yiyang that Yiyang leaned towards his head coach.

"What do you think of your performance yesterday?" Stevens put his arm around Yiyang's shoulders and sat on the bench.

"Don't tell me that dealing with reporters is the key to entering a professional league." Seeing that Stevens' question was very similar to yesterday's reporter, Yiyang couldn't help casting a contemptuous look.

"I'm serious, too. What do you think of your performance last night?" Stevens, who was usually joking, didn't laugh this time.

Yiyang looked at the dome of the basketball hall and recalled his experience of the first NCAA game. "Not too bad."

"It's really not bad. You beat Harlan Gaudi, the star college player, and you became the target of countless people. But you are still far from professional basketball." Stevens's blunt words made Yiyang was a little surprised.

"Shooting, in yesterday's game, you only took one shot from the mid-range position. And that was the only shot you made in the entire game. You know your weakness better than anyone else, and your shooting is not stable enough. So, I specially called Mr. Boris, our shooting coach, to teach you how to shoot from scratch!" Stevens clapped his hands, and a strong bald coach came out of the player tunnel.

"Teach me how to shoot?" Yiyang felt that this was really unbelievable. Shooting is the most basic thing in basketball. The way Stevens wants to take him to the professional basketball world is to teach him how to shoot?

"That's right, boy, teach you how to shoot! Your shooting movements seem to be very standard, but due to the lack of strict requirements and training, you have not completed the movements in many details. This is why your shooting percentage is not enough The reason for stability. I know, you will say that many NBA stars can't shoot. But believe me, those "can't shoot" people in the NBA are absolutely accurate in NCAA!

The times are different now, boy, if a defender can't shoot, his development in professional basketball will be greatly restricted. Let's start with shooting first, and after your shooting percentage improves, we will start the next step. After speaking, Stevens stood up and shook hands with the bald coach beside him.

"I give you the child."

"Don't worry, he's not too bad." The bald coach smiled slightly.

Stevens knew that college players didn't need complicated training to make it to the pros. Basic skills, basic skills are what these geniuses lack the most!

When you have the speed of John Wall, you ignore your weakness in shooting. When you have Dwight Howard's body, you ignore your technical deficiencies.

Talented players always have one thing that makes them thrive in the NCAA.

But professional basketball is different. After many NCAA star players enter the NBA, they will only appear mediocre. Because of their talents, it is not surprising at all in the NBA. Yiyang is indeed fast, but in the professional basketball arena, there are many guys who are faster than him! Stevens doesn't want Yiyang to become one of these mediocre people, to improve Yiyang's weaknesses. This is Stevens' training policy.

"Okay boy, let's start. First, I want to make some changes to the details of your shooting. Don't be nervous, buddy. As long as you are serious, shooting is always the easiest to practice." The shooting coach called Boris immediately So he threw himself into the work, and he played with Yiyang's hand, telling Yiyang what he was not doing well enough.

Yiyang watched the back of Stevens going away, but still chose to trust this young marshal. Inaccurate shooting? I will show you!

"By the way, also. In the future, no matter in the game or in training, if you want to shoot a three-pointer, you are not allowed to use the NCAA three-point line. I want you to shoot the ball one step away from the three-point line. You have to do it now. Get ready for the farther three-point line in the NBA, get it?" Boris has seen a lot of things like this when college shooters enter the NBA and their three-point shooting percentages are terrible.

Yiyang looked at the distance that was too far for him, and then looked at the basketball in his hand. This kid jumps and shoots. Accompanied by the coach, he began to bump forward towards the door of the NBA.

Stevens secretly saw Yiyang's performance through the crack in the door of the training hall. He tried very hard to shoot the basket repeatedly, and his patience was not like a child at all.

This boy who is eager to grow up, the speed of growth must be quite amazing......
