Chapter 11 Repositioning After a Day
Zhou Jing can't stay in the dormitory anymore!
Those cold numbers could not make him feel the changes he had taken.
Therefore, Zhou Jing decided to play a game.
He couldn't wait, and even left the dormitory without even having to change his outfit.
Zhou Jing's destination is an open-air basketball court called Green Leaf Park. It was the only basketball court he remembered. Before that, Jax took him there to play basketball several times. Of course, those memories were not very good.
Zhou Jing trotted all the way, and from time to time on the way, he would meet a few Connecticut students running like him. Everyone smiled and then left. Zhou Jing had long been used to such scenes. Most Connecticuts are very friendly. They usually meet in school, and they would smile and say hello with a smile or not. Of course, it was just a greeting.
Five minutes later, Zhou Jing came to Green Leaf Park.
At this time, the Green Leaf Park not only did not remain silent with the arrival of night, but was even more lively than during the day. The 3V3 game was being played on the court, and people watching the ball on the sidelines surrounded the crowd, cheers and booed one after another.
Connecticut never lacks enthusiasm for basketball.
Zhou Jing quickly found his teammate. In Green Leaf Park, it was simpler to find two people to play together.
One is called Tommy, who is over 1.8 meters tall, and the other is Frank, who is a little shorter. In contrast, Zhou Jing, who is more than two meters tall, naturally became the center. Zhou Jing was not too resistant to this matter. Even though he is not good at the center position, he is still reliable than those two guys.
It was soon Zhou Jing's turn to play. As challengers, they attacked first. Tommy and Frank made a pick-and-roll counter-run cooperation at the left three-point line. Tommy, who covered Frank, pulled out of the three-point line. After the former took away the defense, he immediately passed the ball to the latter.
It can be seen that these two often play together and cooperate well. Frank, who passed the ball, didn't even look back. Tommy, who pulled outside the three-point line, seemed to have expected it. After receiving the ball, he raised his hand and shot.
What a pity! It's not possible to be accurate.
Fortunately, Zhou Jing had already stuck at the basket. When the basketball hit the rebound, his legs exerted force and suddenly rose up, easily grabbing the rebound from the head of the opponent's big man.
With his physical condition, it is naturally easy to grab a rebound in front of ordinary basketball enthusiasts.
At this time, Zhou Jing could already easily score. The center on the opposite side was much shorter than him!
But he didn't.
Zhou Jing, who retreated to the elbow area, pressed his back against the defender, pushed hard, and pulled his body out with one step. After pulling out the space, he turned to the right, pulled up when facing the basket, and completed the attack.
"Swish..."
The ball has entered!
"Wow! What a beautiful jump shot!"
"This is a master!"
...
Amid the cheers of everyone, Zhou Jing clenched his fist with his right hand and waved it hard at the air.
He was very excited! Very excited!
It wasn't a great thing to score a goal, but that feeling surprised him. The stiffness that I had in the training hall had disappeared, and the soft touch was back!
"This may be just a coincidence! Come again!"
Zhou Jing put his attention back on the court. The ball rights still belong to them. In this kind of 3V3 game, there is no need to exchange ball rights after the ball is entered.
Frank controlled the ball, and Zhou Jing took the initiative to pull to the top of the arc to make a pick-and-roll. The former threw away the defense and rushed into the elbow area, then turned back to look at the moon and passed the ball to Zhou Jing who was pulling it outside the three-point line.
Zhou Jing, who received the ball, slapped the ball on the spot, took a step to the left, moved away from the defender who was flying over the opposite side and threw the ball out.
Bend your knees, exert force, take off, tick the ball...
Zhou Jing is very familiar with every move. It is the exquisite technique that has been practiced over the years in another time and space.
"So they haven't disappeared!"
In the next half hour, Zhou Jing was basically performing alone. He took the lead on the offensive end and defeated one group of opponents after another.
There is a saying that goes, don’t use your hobbies to challenge other people’s jobs. There is still a big gap between professional players and ordinary basketball enthusiasts. Even though Zhou Jing is not a professional player, his Green Leaf Park at this time is like a big devil.
After repeated confirmation, Zhou Jing left Green Leaf Park with satisfaction.
That night, Zhou Jing had an extremely comfortable dream.
In his dream, Zhou Jing scored into the National Championships with the Connecticut Husky, and he passed the hurdles and became the national champion. Later, he was selected by the NBA team in the draft and became a professional player. After that, he became more and more outstanding, leading his team to the playoffs, winning the NBA championship, and creating a new dynasty...
"Maybe, this is not such a ridiculous dream!"
Zhou Jing is now full of confidence in the future.
The next day, Connecticut Huskies Training Hall.
Head coach Jim Cahon rarely set up some offensive tactics for the substitute lineup.
"Doug, you break through from the left with the ball. Gavin will go out, but he won't give you a pick-and-roll. You have to seize the opportunity... pay attention to the position of Zhou..."
"Gavin, you don't have to stay in the penalty area anymore. Wait for a while and you go out in this direction. Remember, just walk here! Give Doug a fake cover, and after he rushes into the inside, you pull to this position and cover Zhou..."
"Zhou, you only need to do one thing now. When you should go to the position, Gavin will provide you with cover. When Doug passes the ball to you, you can break into the basket or shoot..."
Jim Kahon took his tactical board and told the players while drawing. He is a very rigorous coach who will clearly arrange every detail. Of course, he is also very strict, and the players must do what he said.
The players did not disappoint Jim Kahon.
Whether it was Doug Wiggins' pass, Gavin Edwards' screen or other players' running positions, they did a good job. Of course, Zhou Jing did a great job in the most critical finishing session of this offense.
"Carlos, maybe we can give him more opportunities."
One day later, Jim Kahon once again updated his role positioning of Zhou Jing.
"Of course, this guy is great! It can help us a lot whether it is offense or defense."
Chapter completed!
