Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

After Chapter 22, stop playing basketball with your mouth

Drew is looking forward to Woody.

But when the game really started, there was a bit of worry in the depths of his expectant eyes.

Woody's self-confidence when talking to him, as well as Woody's outstanding physical talent, are the reasons why he is optimistic about Woody.

In addition to one summer, Woody improved his physical fitness again, which made him more convinced that Woody must have made great progress in basketball.

It’s okay even if you don’t make that much progress!
To put it bluntly, high school basketball is all about physical activity.

Let’s just say that among the “Three Great High Schools” in the 01 draft, the “No. [-] pick” Kwame Brown’s template before the draft was a combination of Kobe, Malone and Webber; the “second pick in the first round” Tyson Chandler was called “the next Kevin Garnett”; Eddie Curry, the fourth pick in the first round, was hailed as “the next Shaquille O’Neal”!
As a result, after finishing his rookie season, Tyson Chandler, who performed best, averaged 6.1 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, and Kwame Brown, who performed the worst, only averaged 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.

Such a horrible performance is naturally far from their template, and it is absurd.

But if you look at their performance in the high school league, you will find that they really have a tendency to develop towards the above template.

The reason is that their physical talent can be crushed in the high school league, but in the NBA, when facing players with physical fitness not weaker than them or even better, their technical immaturity will be exposed.

Woody's physical fitness is definitely at the level of the "Three Elites in High School" among other players except LeBron James at St. Mary's High School. At this time, there is no need to care about his basketball-related skills.

But, the truth is this truth...

What if?
Fortunately, his worry disappeared in an instant as the game started.

Drew had never seen the rocket soaring into the air at the scene, but at this moment Woody and Joyce's jump ball on the opposite side gave him such a feeling.

He straightened his body, leaped high, like a rocket soaring into the air, and easily grabbed the initiative with a suppressive bounce.

Woody showed an amazing bounce at the beginning, and the sidelines of the court changed in seconds to the AND1 scene that day, and even LeBron's expression froze for a moment.

He is a person who has seen the big world. Every year, he not only plays in the high school league, but also plays in the AUU amateur league. The league is for adults. Although it is an amateur league, its confrontation intensity is much higher than that of the high school league. However, he has never seen many with Woody's physical fitness.

Woody's teammates looked at Woody's amazing bounce when he jumped the ball, and thinking about what he just said, they were more convinced now. After arriving in the frontcourt, except for the player holding the ball, the other two began to spontaneously perform pick-and-roll for Stephen Curry.

Curry looked like he hadn't graduated from elementary school, and his body was still very thin, but on the field, he was as nimble as a rabbit. The one guarding him was Romeo, who had just taunted him. He thought he could handle Stephen Curry easily, but after running two steps behind Stephen Curry, he was almost gone.

His agility made LeBron's eyes shine. Drew's expression was not much better than his, and his mouth was slightly opened in surprise. Although he had seen Stephen Curry's off-ball running in the trial training, running around the chair in the trial training and running out of matchups on the field are two different concepts.

On the court, it is not easy for him to run so smoothly and effectively at his age.

Really worthy of being the son of Dell Curry!
Open catch, Steph Curry gets the ball and shoots it.

The teammate who passed the ball to him didn't have that good vision, and it was a little late when he found him open. When he shot, Joyce made up the defense and successfully interfered.

The ball went slightly wide and the ball hit the frame.

"Backboard!"

Several shouts sounded almost at the same time. The matchup against Woody at the basket was already carrying Woody as much as possible, but the moment the ball bounced out of the basket, he felt a huge force pushing him away. When he got a firm footing, Woody jumped up and grabbed the backboard straight away.

A wipe in the opposite direction, Woody dodges Joyce's "black hand" and hits the ball into the basket.

2-0!

Excellent confrontation around the basket, precise jumping to grab the ball, and adept secondary scoring around the basket...

In this short round, Drew saw so many things from Woody.

He must have had a great summer!

"Please put some pressure on me, I thought my opponent was just weaned!" Woody, who finished scoring, yelled in the direction of Joyce and Romeo as he returned to the defense.

This was Romeo's ridicule just now, and now Woody returned it to these two people intact.

Anxious, Joyce rushed towards the basket with the ball, trying to give Woody a little color.

Woody observed his route to the inside, and the NCAA-level interference ability allowed him to easily interfere with Joyce's final layup.

Joyce was suffocating with great strength in his heart, and the moment the ball rolled out of the basket, he immediately flew towards the ball.

Seeing that the basketball was getting closer and closer, a pair of big hands appeared on top of his head, and he grabbed the basketball in his hands first. The sound of the ball closing with a "snap" echoed in Joyce's ears like thunder.

From the perspective of bystanders, the visual effect of this ball is even more amazing!

This is a complete "picking melon on the head"!
Probably knowing that he was ashamed, Joyce didn't give up when he landed, and he stretched out his hand to try to grab the ball from Woody's hand.

But he was only about 1 meters tall, a head short of Woody's height. Coupled with Woody's excellent wingspan, he couldn't touch the ball at all, so he could only wave his hands more and more angrily, almost scratching Woody.

Realizing that he was not running for the ball, Woody took out Ben Wallace's dark elbow and gave him a hard hit on the chest.

Joyce felt a huge pain in his chest, and he retreated involuntarily.

Woody controlled the ball to the frontcourt by himself, and Joyce hadn't slowed down yet, giving them a chance to "five-on-four" in the frontcourt.Woody scored another 2 points at the basket, 4-0!Joyce, on the other hand, still had severe chest pains.

This Chinese man is really ruthless!

Joyce can be sure that after this game, his chest will definitely turn blue and purple.Woody's toughness was beyond his expectation.

Romeo felt that he was strange, and it was their turn to attack again, actively holding the ball and waiting for an opportunity to attack.Woody looked at Joyce and challenged him: "Hey, buddy, you should keep attacking! Or can you only be hard once?"

Joyce gritted his teeth, and wanted to get the ball from Romeo's hand and charge again to avoid being looked down upon by Woody, but the pain in his chest made him hesitate to reach out for the ball.

simply put:
The mouth is still stiff, but the body is already soft!

His body is soft, but the body holding the ball is still hard.

Robinson faced the defender with the ball, lowered his center of gravity and easily passed the defender in front of him with speed. Although he was not tall enough, his speed was indeed sharp enough.

Most people with poisonous mouths and arrogant personalities have some skills.

Romeo is also in this ranks.

But he belongs to the kind with a little ability, but not much.

Before successfully breaking through to the free throw line, Joyce just broke through the basket is still in front of his eyes, and Romeo chose to throw a shot.

However, as soon as the ball was shot, it was a big hat that blocked the sky.

From Woody!

His shot-blocking ability is not high, only 25 points, but the huge bonus of physical fitness allows him to perform like 25 points with a 55-point shot-blocking ability when facing Romeo.

Another wave of fast break was completed.

6-0!

Woody led the team and took the initiative when he came up.

Afterwards, the other three people on Woody's side had a tacit understanding with Stephen Curry, and they became more determined to pass the ball to Stephen Curry. Curry began to display his precise shooting ability, while Woody continued to dominate the basket.

Working together, the two easily defeated the team led by the "Three Akron Brothers" and won the training match.

"From now on, stop playing basketball with your mouth!"

At the end of the training match, Woody sent another trash talk of "killing people".

Only this time, the disheartened Joyce and Romeo couldn't speak at all.

They were completely crushed.

This Huaxia rookie is so strong!
　The second one is here, brothers begging for votes! ! !
