The Whip of the God of Basketball

Chapter 17: small issue

   was sitting in the training hall. Because the children were training, Auerbach had to put away his big cigar and tolerate it for a while, but he would still take out the cigar and smell it by his nose to relieve his greed.

   After greeted Leon, he put away the cigar, took the crutches and knocked on the seat next to him, motioning Leon to sit down. Khomeinis gave Leon a self-seeking look and ran back to work on the court.

"Look at the kids on the court. There are more than 30 guys here. They run, train, and dream of becoming the stars of the future and the most dazzling heroes on the field. But among them, some Destined to be ordinary, you will soon realize that you have no relationship with the higher basketball world; some have the opportunity to go to a higher place. Now, I want to ask you, among them, who has the most opportunity?" Erbach didn't talk much with Leon, but directly asked his little question.

   Auerbach’s question on the surface is asking who has the highest level of basketball among the more than 30 children, but he said so much and made a big turn, it seems that he didn’t mean this.

Anyway, this is not a small problem for Leon, because to be honest, although he looked like a basketball expert in the office yesterday, he turned on the repeater mode and forcibly recorded Pitino. If you pass, then bring a little bit of your own understanding. It is shocking enough that he repeats Pitino's words verbatim. As for whether he understands basketball, who cares?

   Now Auerbach directly asks Leon to pick the best one out of more than thirty children, which is easier said than done.

"Later, they will be divided into two groups to play against each other for a while. From now on you have two hours to observe them and tell me if you have the answer. If your answer satisfies me, you can go to work in Boston at any time. If No, I'm sorry, I have to consider whether this job is handed over to you." Auerbach continued to say to Leon.

   After speaking, he finally couldn't stand the torture of smoking cravings, got up and went to the office of the training hall to smoke a cigar, leaving Leon sitting alone in the stands facing a group of children in a daze.

   However, there is one thing Auerbach's prediction is wrong, that is, he thinks Leon has no knowledge of basketball and knows nothing, but in fact, before his mother's death, Leon was an out-and-out basketball fan.

   At this time Leon was sitting in the stands and saw a group of children ranging from ten to fifteen years old running, passing, shooting, and dribbling on the court. The memories deep in his mind surfaced.

Leon finally remembered that the game he had dreamed of was the fifth game of the 1984 NBA Finals at Tianwang Mountain. The air conditioner in the Boston Garden Plaza was broken, and the heat of June added 15,000 people. Spectators, make the whole stadium hot like a sauna. Leon remembered that he was sitting on the burly fat uncle that day, like sitting on a big rock that had been exposed to the sun for two hours.

However, the enthusiasm of the fans in that game was as terrible as the temperature of the stadium. Leon sitting in the back row could hear almost nothing. He could only see the white and purple jerseys on the stadium. The white jersey was the Celtics, wearing purple. The jersey is their opponent, the Los Angeles Lakers.

The excitement and excitement that he had experienced in his dream that night came to his mind again. Leon couldn’t help but stand up from where he was sitting. He climbed a few steps to the stands and stood higher so that he could see the training scene. To be more clear.

   At the same time, Auerbach was smoking a cigar in his office. Sitting on his swivel chair, Auerbach’s brain turned rapidly as the cigar went dark.

   Right here, just yesterday, Auerbach vaguely saw a rising power from Fox-Leon, a power that does not exist in basketball. As a man of dozens of years in basketball, Auerbach can hardly describe how he felt at the time.

When he fell on his hospital bed a few years later to welcome the death of death, Auerbach recalled that afternoon, the little blackboard that made his somewhat dry basketball heart resurrected. Auerbach, who was about to end his life, described it like this The feeling at that moment: "I saw the light."

  ……………………

The children trained for nearly 20 minutes. The two sides began to play a simple rivalry in groups. The purpose of the rivalry is not to win or lose. One is to improve the children's awareness of competition and feel the competitive atmosphere of the training camp. The game can reflect the charm of basketball confrontation; the second is to make a basic assessment of the basketball level of all children, let these children show themselves on the court, Anji and the three will make an evaluation of everyone's performance, and then follow this evaluation Come to arrange targeted training for each child.

This is a game with no specific time limit. There are more than a dozen players on each side. Everyone takes turns to play. There is no timeout or rest. It is like a never-ending wheel fight. It is this kind of game that allows the children Can fully demonstrate his basketball talent.

The youngest of these children is nine years old and the oldest is fifteen. The gap between nine-year-olds and fifteen-year-olds is still quite large. Nine-year-olds are often not developed, with thin arms and legs, and the skeleton is not long. The basketball in my hand feels bigger than anyone else.

   And some 15-year-old children have grown taller, like a few white children who are already very big and look like adults.

Therefore, some children who are still outstanding in their skills in training, when they really start to run for a full-court confrontation in the game, they are completely at a disadvantage. In the face of those taller and stronger children, their skills are completely ineffective. come out.

   Auerbach walked out of the office and wiped the soot off his body. While observing the performance of the children on the field, he looked at Leon who was attentively standing high in the stands.

As a veteran who has been immersed in basketball for decades, and has always been known for being good at discovering talents, Auerbach is naturally eye-catching. Although with the development of basketball, the evaluation and judgment of players has become more professional and refined, but That was in the field of professional basketball; in amateur youth and children's basketball like this, Auerbach can touch the level of the players in a ten-minute match.

"This will be the last test I will give you. If you can pass, I will follow my instinct and bet on my last basketball life; if you can't, then sorry, I can only give it in the team's arena You are looking for a job as a cleaner." Auerbach said to Leon in his heart. Although he had already told Leon about the job yesterday, he did not say what kind of job it was.

   This is also the reason Auerbach asked Leon to come to the training hall before leaving. He wanted to give him a final test.

   The competition was quite intense. The children took turns playing like a horse lantern. Everyone was full of energy and energy, like a group of lambs running back and forth tirelessly. At the same time, the game was played hard and fast, and it was not messed up because of being unfamiliar with each other.

   From this, we can quickly see the level of the children, some older and stronger children, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is unstoppable on the court, often one person dribbles through the court and directly scores a layup.

   One of the 14-year-old black children has been able to dunk directly with the ball. Although his dunk lacks strength and beauty, his bounce is enough for him to easily hit the ball directly into the basket with his hands.

When he dunked the ball into the basket, the whole arena was a little boiled. Maxwell danced happily on the side, and stepped forward to clap the boy to show encouragement. Even Khomeinis jumped excitedly. Come up, there is no way to score on the basketball court more exciting than dunking.

Khomeinis also turned to look at Leon standing in the stands, and found that Leon was like a stone statue without any movement, with her hands folded on her chest and watching everything on the court, her brows slightly locked, she didn't know she was thinking. What's going on.

   She doesn't know, at this time Leon is trying to read all the memories of basketball in his mind, looking for all the criteria that can determine the quality of a player.

If you want to choose who is the strongest basketball kid in the current training camp, then the answer will be among three to four people, especially the black kid who can dunk. His skill level is quite good and his physical fitness is quite good. It's also top-notch.

   During the seven or eight minutes he was on the field, his team completely suppressed the opponent, because no one could match him, no matter how fast, power, or jumping he was, these seven or eight minutes were completely his one-man show.

With more and more children on the field, and the match is coming to an end, Auerbach is already thinking about it. He walked onto the stands on crutches, pointed to Leon and asked, "It’s time to solve my little boy. There is a problem."
