Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Immediately, Harvey told Kanisavas about Zhuang Yu's deeds, the talent and strength he showed in the game, and his own evaluation of Zhuang Yu.

After listening, Kanisavas took a sip of his coffee and said calmly: "It sounds like you think highly of him, so I'll let you take the responsibility and continue to pay attention to him."

Hearing this, Harvey became happy: "Yes, I think he can definitely play in the NBA in the future, and I will continue to pay attention to him."

Kanisavas smiled and nodded, chatting with Harvey for a few more words before sending Harvey away.

After Harvey left, he returned to his desk, thinking of what Harvey had just said, a smile appeared on his lips.

What interests him is not Zhuang Yu himself, but the Chinese market behind Zhuang Yu.

Although the team already has Jeremy Lin, if it only requires a small price, such as a late second-round pick, then it will not be impossible to select this little guy named Zhuang Yu to the Rockets in the future.

Even if Zhuang Yu only acts as a water dispenser keeper after arriving, he can at least help the team further expand the Chinese market, right?

......

Ucla, training arena.

A group of players are having free training.

However, only 14 of the team's fifteen-man roster came. De'an Portis, who has been unable to play due to injury, is also there, but Muhammad is missing.

The players couldn't help but whisper.

"What's going on? Muhammad didn't participate in the training yesterday. He just didn't come today. He doesn't want to cause trouble, right?"

"Huh, he probably has no face to show up again. He actually betrayed the team. It's unimaginable that he is so despicable. It would be better if he didn't come."

"That is, without him, wouldn't we still have reached the knockout round, defeated the University of Oregon, and entered the Final Four?"

"Hey, you are wrong. I really have to thank Muhammad for the last game. If it weren't for him..."

Everyone was talking, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with Muhammad not coming. On the contrary, they thought it would be better if he just disappeared.

At this time, Powell lowered his voice and said: "Muhammad actually came yesterday, but was called away by coach Holland. It is said that we talked in coach Holland's office for half an hour, and it was probably some punishment imposed by the school. How can you not be punished for doing something like that?”

is it?

Everyone raised their eyebrows.

At this time, Coach Holland, Assistant Coach Wesley, Assistant Coach Hayes, and Assistant Coach Exxon arrived. Assistant Coach Wesley clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to gather.

Everyone immediately stopped talking and gathered quickly.

"There are still semi-finals ahead, so we have to hurry up and train." Coach Holland swept his eyes over the players. "In addition, I would like to inform everyone that Muhammad will no longer participate in the team's training or games in the future."

Wow...

Everyone looked at each other and secretly said that it was true.

Obviously, this is the punishment for Muhammad. This time he is not only unable to play, but also unable to participate in training.

"That's fine." Zhuang Yu secretly thought.

Since Muhammad betrayed once, there could be a second time.

Therefore, he is simply not allowed to participate in team training. He cannot learn about the team's latest changes and tactics, and it is impossible to disclose them to UCL's opponents.

Afterwards, everyone dispersed and started training in groups.

After some training, Coach Holland took the players to the video analysis room.

Coach Holland signaled the staff to turn on the projector and said to the players: "I just got the news that the game between the University of Southern California and the University of Utah has ended. The University of Southern California defeated the University of Utah 77:70 and advanced to the semifinals."

"That said, our next opponent will be USC."

At this time, all the 8-to-4 games are over, and the University of Southern California vs. the University of Utah is the last game.

At the end of this game, the top four teams were all announced, namely the University of Arizona, UCL, the University of Southern California, and the University of Washington.

Since UCLA defeated the University of Oregon in an upset, they automatically replaced the University of Oregon's second place. In the next round, they will face the University of Southern California, which ranked third in the regular season.

"We haven't gotten the video of today's game yet. Let's watch the video of USC's previous game first."

Coach Holland gestured to the staff as he spoke, and the staff began to play the USC game video. While watching, Coach Holland was also analyzing the players over and over again.

In the regular season, UCLA played against the University of Southern California twice, winning once and losing once. In the win, Zhuang Yu broke out, scoring 28 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists.

Now that they have to face the University of Southern California again, the players are still a little solemn. After all, the opponent is not weak, but it is much better than before the game against the University of Oregon.

......

After two hours, the video analysis ended.

The day's training ended here. The players dispersed, while Zhuang Yu and Anderson returned to the training gym and had to practice more.

Zhuang Yu ran back, caught the ball, took a step to the side, then stopped for a jump shot, one step inside the three-point line.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

Anderson stood under the basket, grabbed the basketball and passed it to Zhuang Yu. After receiving the ball, Zhuang Yu made a cross step, and then suddenly pulled up with a little backwards.

Swish!

Enter again.

One, two, three... I shot more than a dozen in a row, and they all hit.

However, Zhuang Yu was not satisfied. He began to speed up his shooting speed, almost immediately after catching the ball, and his wrist swing was very fast.

boom!

Sure enough, when he changed his shooting speed, his stability dropped. Blackouts began to appear, and the hit rate was difficult to guarantee.

After making dozens of shots in a row, the shots were all very fast, but the hit rate could not meet Zhuang Yu's requirements at all, and had fallen below 70%.

Seventy percent doesn't seem bad, but this is during training. During the competition, it will become even lower, maybe less than 40%, or even below 30%.

This made Zhuang Yu a little depressed and couldn't help but frown.

"village."

At this moment, Anderson suddenly suggested: "I think there is no need for you to throw so fast. There is another way to trade time for space, and that is to take off faster. Your explosive power is very good, why not try using a faster Jump up quickly and shoot at a normal speed. In this case, wouldn't it also save some time?"

Huh?

Zhuang Yu's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was really feasible. He gave Anderson a thumbs up: "It sounds reasonable."

Anderson said in astonishment: "I just had a sudden idea, do you really believe it?"

He didn't expect Zhuang Yu to listen. After all, his shooting was far worse than Zhuang Yu's. Anderson himself felt unreliable when he was asked to guide Zhuang Yu in shooting.

However, the more Zhuang Yu thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible, and he immediately started experimenting...
