Chapter 27 [A bad comic?! 】
After the afternoon training, Wang Jun took a shower in the stadium, changed his clothes and went to David's villa with Abby.
Abby's car is a Ford series red pickup truck, which is obviously the kind that is driven by a man.
"Why are you driving this kind of car?" Wang Jun asked. He thought to himself that he would not say it was her boyfriend, right?
He never thought about falling in love with Abby, but he hoped that she could stay single and never grow old. This is an alternative selfishness, an appreciation and longing for beautiful things that he could not get, and it is the mentality of many men towards female stars.
"A used car worth 9,000 US dollars is beautiful, right?" Abby raised his head proudly: "Maybe you don't think it's like a beautiful girl, but I like it. It's very comfortable and can pull things."
"Just like it." Wang Jun smiled.
"You should also learn a driver's license."
"May I?"
“It’s easy.”
Abby told him about taking the driver's license test, which was divided into two steps: learning the driver's license and formal driver's license.
First, you have to get a study driver's license. Just pass the written test and identify the road signs and pay $32. A normal person will remember it after reading the manual a few times. Then the staff will check the certificate brought by the applicant, including the certificate of identity and address. Take a photo, and soon a study driver's license will be issued.
With a learning driver's license, you can take the road test. Before the road test, of course, you must first practice driving skills, and need a person who knows how to drive to teach. American law stipulates that if a person with a learning driver's license wants to drive on the road, he must have a person with a formal driver's license sitting next to him. After he has been practicing, he will go to the exam. The invigilator mainly looks at driving, parking, turning, and complying with traffic rules. After passing the road test, he will issue a formal driver's license on the spot.
Wang Jun thinks learning driving by Chinese standards and finds it very troublesome, but it can usually be done in two weeks in the United States.
The car left the city center and stopped in front of an independent villa in the north of the city. Wang Jun originally thought that the house was a three-bedroom and one-living house, but he didn't expect that David's home was a duplex villa with a large lawn.
It was so luxurious. It would be great if my sister and I could live in such a house. After Wang Jun entered the house, he looked at the luxurious decoration and beautiful furniture and sighed in his heart.
"Do you and grandpa live here?"
Abby sighed. "Yeah, my grandma passed away four years ago, she was a teacher and loved the atmosphere of Ann Arbor, so they came here."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's over."
Wang Jun really couldn't see any sadness on her face, so he felt relieved.
Abby pointed to the refrigerator and said, "There is a drink in the refrigerator. Take whatever you like. You can sit here for a while, and I will go up and take the book down."
"OK."
Wang Jun poured a glass of ice water, took a sip and placed it on the table, and waited at the stairs. As soon as Abby left the bedroom, he immediately went forward, took a large cardboard box and moved it downstairs.
Abby smiled and said, "Yes, you are very gentlemanly and know how to help the lady move things."
"It should."
Wang Jun put the box on the table in front of the sofa, took out the comic and read it and was amused. What Abby said was the English version of "Slam Dunk". He watched this comic when he was in junior high school. Many classmates bought it and collected it, and it became popular in Asia.
"Do you want me to learn how to play in this book?"
Abby opened a bottle of drinks, took a few sips, and said with a smile: "How is it possible? The tactics in this comic are so bad. My father read it and said it is suitable for making negative teaching materials to get rid of some bad habits of players. If you want to play basketball well, you must avoid playing in this book."
Wang Jun's mouth opened into an O-shaped shape, with a black line at the end.
This comic is the direct reason why he fell in love with basketball. In China, many people became interested in basketball because they watched "Slam Dunk", rather than like Jordan, Pippen, O'Neal... Those people are too far away.
What a joke? The negative textbook?
"Have you seen it?" Abby asked.
"I have read it, I don't think this is a negative teaching material. The style is great. This is also recognized as the basketball comic that is closest to reality." Wang Jun was dissatisfied and wanted to argue.
In China, "Slam Dunk" is not just a comic, but also a kind of sentiment. Many people don't know Gong Xiaobin, but they must know Hanamichi Sakuragi.
Abby rolled his eyes, and he could no longer despise him.
"Where is it close to reality? Just say that Xiangyang, who claims to have a super guard, was a guest coach. Fujima actually sent out a lineup of four big men. Three of them were not good at shooting and were not fast. Isn't this arbitrary? With the athletic ability of several Xiangbei players, they could not defend themselves as long as they grabbed the rebound and fought back immediately. What's more irrational is that Xiangyang was still ahead in the first half."
"Uh..." Wang Jun never thought about this when he read the comics, and he thought that the group of people in Xiangyang was based on their height advantage.
"So, that game can only be understood as Akagi affecting the offensive rhythm of the entire team. He grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack with a pass, and his teammates' athletic ability advantage was not used."
The gorilla has become a cancer! This is the "Slam Dunk" in the eyes of Americans?
In the United States, the comic "Slam Dunk" is not sold at all, and only a few people read it, not as popular as in Asia. The only one who really became popular in the United States is "Dragon Ball".
Asian comic fans think that "Slam Dunk" is real, compared to comics like "Football Young Players". If the players in that football comic don't have a super kill, they will be embarrassed to say hello to others.
If the Americans read too many NBAs, they will feel that they are full of mistakes and omissions when they read comics based on NBA players as templates.
Wang Jun argued but said depressedly: "Can this really improve my basketball skills? Is comics completely different from reality?"
Abby took out the contents her father taught her before and shook the notebook in his hand. "Everyone said this is a shortcut. This notebook contains some questions my dad wrote. You read the comic first, and then answer these questions. I will tell you the correct answers to deepen your understanding of basketball."
"All right."
Regarding the problem with Xiangyang team just now, Wang Jun thought it made sense.
He found that the speed advantage was very useful when he played against the competition. Of course, it was the best if he had height and speed. Having height or not was basically a tragedy. It was too strange for Xiangyang to defend against Xiangbei's small lineup.
Wang Jun took the notebook and was stunned, and smiled bitterly: "Abby, that... can you tell these questions orally? I'll write them down and go back to study them."
“Isn’t this written?”
"I can speak English, but I can't write it. This word is too sloppy, and it's hard for me to understand even in standard fonts." Wang Jun explained.
"Understood."
The two were discussing at home, and Abby ordered pizza takeout in the evening.
Jeff Hornersek is an interesting person. He can think so deeply about reading comics with his daughter. Should he say he is professional? Or is he bored?
The problems are varied.
Who is the most important player of Xiangbei team? Who is the first key element in winning?
What tactics can Xiangyang team use to defeat Xiangbei in the second half of the qualifiers?
Who is the most overrated player in the comics?
It is unreasonable for Hainan VS Xiangbei to win only two points. They could have won more than 40 points, but the narrative is unreasonable.
Why did Lingnan lose to Xiangbei, who was troubled by fouls?
In the comics, which main force Coach Anxi looks down on the most? Where can I tell it?
What is the most suitable tactic for Xiangbei? Who is the most suitable for the sixth man? What tactics are suitable for the team after graduation?
Who is the strongest player in the comics?
There are two people who are the culprits in Sanwang Industrial’s loss, and analyze the reasons.
Wang Jun basically doesn't know how to answer these questions.
At around eight o'clock, David and his friends came back after dinner and saw that they were still flirting comics in the living room.
"Abby, how is the progress?"
"I just started watching it, and I will find out the result tomorrow." Abby replied.
David didn't think he was discussing comic plays at all, and said with a smile: "Wang, you should read it carefully. Finding mistakes is a way to understand basketball. It is not just to find mistakes for comics. You can also find mistakes when watching NBA games. Only by understanding the opponent's weaknesses can you better attack and defense against weaknesses."
Understanding the opponent's weaknesses? Wang Jun suddenly grabbed the inspiration.
