Junior Basketball says

Chapter 52 James Harden

After the training of Artesia High School basketball team, Gong Xiaoyang was about to lead the team to leave, but Pera stopped him: "Gong, although we are opponents at night, we might as well let the children make friends at this time! To be honest You said, there are a few kids in our team who are very excited about your arrival, and they really want to know what China looks like across the ocean."

Gong Xiaoyang said with a smile: "I had this idea before, but I didn't dare to say it. Now the level of campus basketball in our country is relatively backward. I also hope that they can learn more experience from the exchange."

Now that the bosses of both sides have negotiated in a few words, the players can contact each other.It is a bit embarrassing that the English level of most Chinese teenagers is not enough to support them to have too complicated conversations. They can only chat with their American peers about the weather, food and their own country. Decisively start gesticulating with hands.

Compared with them, Xu Hao's English is not bad, and he usually pays attention to practicing his spoken English.Of course, Xu Hao did not expect that he would embark on the road of basketball in the past. He just wanted to pretend to be aggressive in class. He didn't expect that it would come in handy now.With such a foundation in English, he can communicate more things with others.

He looked around, walked straight to the little fat man who was acting bravely on the training ground, stretched out his hand very actively, and said: "Hello, I am Xu Hao from China. I saw your performance during training. Really It's too powerful!"

The little fat man grinned and said proudly: "Of course, I am the ace of our team. Oh yes, in response, I should also introduce myself. My name is James Harden. You can call me James. Nice to meet you." you."

The two teenagers of the same age and similar skills quickly became familiar with each other, but Xu Hao found that Harden was somewhat different from himself. One of them likes to use breakthroughs to tear apart the defense, and the other is more inclined to use shots to end offenses.

Xu Hao really wanted to learn the technique of rhythm change from Harden, but Harden himself couldn't explain why, so he could only say to him: "When we have a chance to match up in tonight's game, you can Take a good look at it, I can’t tell if I have to say it, it’s probably the best way to experience it yourself. Xu, I believe in your talent, you should be able to learn it.”

Xu Hao shrugged, there was no other way.Even so, he still chatted happily with Harden. The two agreed to let the other party see their own strength in the evening game, and whoever loses will treat the other party to eat ice cream.

As soon as ice cream was mentioned, Xu Hao asked curiously: "Does the coach allow you to eat these high-calorie foods?"

Harden scratched his head and said bluntly: "The coach just told us not to eat it. It's okay to eat one occasionally."

Xu Hao patted his stomach with a smile, and said: "No wonder you are so fat! But I feel that your body shape has not reduced your athletic ability. Can you tell me how to do it? After all, I am also a foodie. !"

"This... I can only say that I am very talented..." Harden said, "And I like to break into the inside to score. A strong body is very necessary for me. And I sometimes go to the low post Going to play singles with the ball, what should I do if I don't have a whole body?"

Xu Hao pretended to be vicious and said: "If you reveal this to me now, aren't you afraid that I will blow you up at night?"

Harden snorted: "Don't think that we are friends and I will deliberately put water on it. Let me tell you, I am very strong. Even if I reveal my offensive habits to you now, you will still lose to me. I am the ice cream. The second time is to eat!"

Harden's burst of confidence also aroused Xu Hao's competitive spirit, and he said loudly: "Okay, let's compete to see who is stronger! If I lose, I will treat you to an ice cream. If you lose, don’t let it go!"

After dinner, Xu Hao did some activities on campus, and rushed back to the arena before the time set by Gong Xiaoyang.This time it was up to Pella to let them directly borrow the visiting team's locker room in the Artesia High School Basketball Hall to prepare for the game.

After everyone arrived, Gong Xiaoyang coughed lightly and said, "I know you guys had a great time communicating with the opponent's players this afternoon, but a game is a game after all. If I see someone absent-minded on the field, treat the game as an exhibition game Come play, I will replace you immediately. And I have already discussed with coach Pella, and he will let their players go all out in the game after he returns. If you don’t want to be sieved, Just be serious with me."

"Let me announce the starting lineup for this game. Point guard, Shen Yanqiu; shooting guard, Xu Hao; small forward, Xue Xiaofeng; power forward, Ma Guanming; center, Sun Lianlian. Don't worry about others, you can also get a chance to play of."

When Gong Xiaoyang pronounced his name, Xu Hao gave a small yes from below. He was really looking forward to the duel with Harden, and he also wanted to learn something from him.Moreover, the existence of Harden basically destroyed Xu Hao's three views. He always thought that a good basketball player should maintain his figure to the maximum extent. How could he not weigh himself when he met a fat man?
After confirming the starting lineup, Gong Xiaoyang continued to arrange tactics.In fact, their team is still based on pick-and-rolls. Xu Hao is always ready to catch and shoot the ball as an outside support point.Gong Xiaoyang actually wanted to arrange some more complicated tactics, but considering the age of the players, let's forget it...

When the players from both sides were warming up on the court, Xu Hao couldn't help but tell Harden the news of his start. Harden was also sincerely happy for him, and now they had more reason to compare their skills in the game.But when it came to this aspect, the two of them started to argue with each other. They both believed that they were better than the other and were ready to take advantage of each other verbally.

Harden here said that he can directly use his strength advantage to squeeze you away, and Xu Hao said that he can catch the ball and hit the shot when you can't keep up. Anyway, the game hasn't started yet, everyone is fighting. The talk is also good.

But both of them are relatively pure, and they didn't talk trash to each other.For many NBA players, trash talking is an essential skill, which can disturb the opponent's emotions to a certain extent.But now they are still high school students, so don't learn such a powerful skill, let's see the real chapter in the game!
