Anthony stared at Chen Junhao deeply, as if he wanted to re-recognize the gentle, peaceful, plain, and uninspiring young man in front of him. For the first time, he discovered that this gentle, elegant, desireless and undesirable Chinese teammate actually had the same thoughts and expectations as ordinary people. In the other party's plain words, he had always ignored the plain and domineering aura. "Control the game" and "dominate position" How did he ignore these words before? After a long silence, Anthony slowly spoke: "I just realized today that you are not a person without desires."

Chen Junhao smiled faintly: "No desire or demand? Even monks can't do it, right? If I don't want to, I will not come back again. Since I have chosen basketball, I must have the goals I hope to achieve.

"Can you tell me the yu hope you hide in your heart? Or do you want to achieve the goal?"

Chen Junhao smiled faintly, gently rubbed the beer in his hand and said leisurely: "Yu Wang? Jason, can you tell me your goal first?"

Anthony was handsome and raised his head with a little alcoholism and said generously: "My goal is to lead Missouri to win the NCAA championship, and then enter the NBA and work towards the superstar direction. No, my goal is to become an NBA superstar!"

Chen Junhao smiled lightly and nodded slightly.

"What about you?" Anthony asked back.

Chen Junhao gently rubbed the beer can in his hand, and his face still had a calm expression, saying, "Missouri's ace is you, but next year I will be the real and real tactical core and the team ace. Next year, the year after, I will lead Missouri to the NCAA. My goal is the NCAA's three consecutive championships. I will lead Missouri to create a legend in the NCAA that surpasses the Five Tigers in Michigan."

Anthony opened his mouth wide and looked shocked, staring at Chen Junhao for a long time. He sighed for a long time: "What a great courage and great ambition, I am not as good as you!"

Chen Junhao smiled faintly. In fact, he was also very shocked at this moment. He was preparing to keep it tactfully before he spoke. When he really spoke, he couldn't help blurting out his mouth. Jiu was really a harmful thing. However, after blurting out these words, he felt relaxed. Isn't it a burden to bury his ambitions in his heart for a long time?

Anthony raised his glass and said, "No matter who we lead Missouri, toast to our future glory of Missouri!"

"cheers!"

...

Putting down the beer, Anthony said: "You just mentioned your goal in college. What about after graduating from college? Haven't you ever thought about entering the NBA?"

Chen Junhao smiled faintly and said, "That's too far away for me. Let's wait for us to win the college championship first."

"Yes, I'm a little too ambitious. I'll finish college basketball first." Anthony paused and said, "Jack!"

"Um?"

"I'm very glad you came to our Missouri. It's a great honor to be your teammate."

"It's also my honor to come to Missouri and be your teammate."

The two looked at each other and smiled, while raising their right hands to high-five in the air.

...

Smith would not know that when he was glad that his success convinced Anthony and unified his tactical thinking and cleared the obstacles to the team's progress, his two members were sitting together and drinking and talking. Other players in Missouri would not know that when they were still worried about whether the so-called ace battle would lead to the division of their team, Anthony and Chen Junhao, the two absolute backbone figures of the team, were sincerely happy for each other's existence.

The generals worked together and focused on each other. The dark clouds shrouded above Missouri had dissipated, and the dawn was breaking through the darkness and blooming in the horizon.

the next day.

At 2:30 pm, training in Missouri began on time.

The first half hour is always boring basic training. At three o'clock, the tactical drill begins.

Smith patrolled the players in two rows with his hands on his back and said, "We have won all three games this season and won beautifully. Missouri is very strong this year, and there is no doubt that this is."

There was a slight uproar among the players, and the proud expressions of the players were written on their faces.

"But everyone should not forget that our opponents are not North Carolina, Duke, nor Kentucky or Connecticut. Beating the first three opponents does not mean that we will definitely be able to defeat our opponents on the road to winning the championship. In order to further enhance our strength, I will make another adjustment to our tactics today."

Everyone looked at Smith with their breath.

After Smith paused and further improved everyone's attention, he said: "From today, we will practice new offensive tactics. Don't ask what the tactics are, and don't ask why, each of you needs to act according to my orders. Remember, what I want is execution without any discount. If the starter cannot execute, I will kick him out of the starting lineup. If one team of players cannot execute, I will kick him out of the first team. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Everyone answered loudly, straightening their backs and full of energy.

"Very good, then now we start tactical exercises." Smith's stern eyes swept through each person and said seriously, "It is divided into two groups to confront each other. The starting lineup is a group of five Kaman, Pierce, Anthony, Jack Chen and Mario. The other group is composed of five Charlton, Abra, Arroyo, Macri and Johnson, and the others are substitutes. The second team members watch the game."

The players who had named the name were replaced with red and yellow training suits and spread out on the court, while the other players stood on the sidelines. Smith bit the whistle and directed on the court.

The tactical exercise mainly practices the offensive tactics of the main force. First, the red team attacks from the starting line. After the ball is drawn from the bottom line, Mario handed the ball to Chen Junhao as usual. "Flute!" Smith's whistle sounded. It began in the first second of the tactical exercise.

Everyone looked at Smith for no reason.

"Leave the ball to Rick, Rick, you can control the ball!" Smith said. The decisive whistle in the first second conveyed a message to everyone: tactical changes start from now on.

Mario dribbled the ball, and the Yellow team set up a defensive team, a typical 32 mixed joint defense. Drop the ball to the three-point line Mario was attacked by two people, and his passing route was faintly blocked.

"Flute!" The whistle sounded again, and Smith said: "Everyone stopped in its original position, everyone looked at their own position. Tell me what would you do under normal circumstances if it were the past?"

After Chen Junhao and Anthony looked at each other, Chen Junhao replied: "One person comes forward to meet, others do run without the ball. After Mario passes the ball, either breaks it as a cover, or cuts into the bottom line along the sideline."

"Very good!" Smith said, "But this time we change it. Jack, come and pick up, Mike, you run from the bottom line to the right. Paul, you go out of the penalty area and run here. Rick, Jason, the position of the two of you is here." Smith said and gestured, and finally said to Chen Junhao, "Jack, what do you plan to do after you come up to pick up the ball?"

"Dribbing along the three-point line and waiting for an opportunity to cut into the inside line. Mike and Jason are here, and they will give me good cover."

"Very good. But you can change it and see what is ahead?"

"Basketball."

"Very good. Now there is only one defensive player in front of you. Are you sure to cut directly into the inside?"

"No problem!" Although he was a little disrespectful to the defending players, Chen Junhao still answered very frankly.

"Very good, then why don't you break through and cut into the inside line? Just do that, dribbling through and the basket is right in front, Mike and Paul's running opened the gap for you, what else do you care about with your ability? Rush up and smash the ball into the basket, did you hear it?" The last sentence Smith was stern.

"I heard it!"

"Then come back."

Mario dribbled the ball, Chen Junhao stepped forward to meet, and the other players of the Red Team ran as Smith told him. However, the situation of the Yellow Team on the defense changed a little. Knowing that Chen Junhao wanted to break through and let him succeed, it would be a loss of face. Arroyo pressed tightly, and Macri, who had originally intercepted Anthony, also came to double-team.

"Bang, bang!" The ball started with two hits and people moved. Chen Junhao's figure flashed in a flash and passed through the two people. Another hit was "Bang!" The basketball bounced high, and Chen Junhao, who broke through the past, jumped up, and the ball in the air crossed his left hand. The jumping figure seemed to be a feather in the air, sliding slowly and slowly under the basket. "Swish!" The basketball fell from the basket with the sound of the net.

Simple attack! That's that simple!

The court was silent, and everyone was stunned to watch the basketballs falling from the basket, and there were short-circuits in their brains. Everyone in the Missouri basketball team knew that Chen Junhao had made a breakthrough, but it was the first time he saw the two people through such an easy time. The final layup interpreted the elegance to the extreme.

After a while, "Boom!" Thunderous cheers sounded inside and outside the stadium.

"Flute!" Smith's whistle interrupted the cheer without cooperating, "Continue!"

Offense and defense are transferred. The offense of the substitute Yellow Team. Everyone knows that this tactical exercise focuses on the offense of the starting lineup. The offense of the substitute only has a comparative effect. After the Yellow Team's simple routine cooperation, the Red Team easily pulled the gap for the opponent to take action.

It was the Red Team's attack again. Mario dribbled the ball, made a break with Chen Junhao at the three-point line as a cover, broke into the inside line, and was blocked and passed the ball... After several passes, the ball came to Chen Junhao's hands. Chen Junhao's eyes took the ball and brought the whole game into his eyes. He turned sideways and accelerated! The action of dribbling breakthrough, the lesson of the car, Huang Team hurried two players to come forward to double-team.

At the same time, Mike, outside the penalty area on the right, suddenly retreated and stood against the opponent and asked for the ball. Anthony, who ran without the ball, suddenly changed direction and threw away the defensive opponent.

How did Chen Junhao do it? Breakthrough? Pass? To whom did the ball?

He turned sideways and accelerated, and the opponent was ready to double-team, "Swoosh!" A straight line broke out from behind the basketball and flew straight outside the penalty area - passing the ball behind the back with a shaking wrist.

Anthony received the ball, hesitated for a moment, but was seeing Chen Junhao running without the ball through the defensive player, and jumping straight into the basket. He threw his hands straight, and the basketball flew straight to Chen Junhao under the basket!

"Good opportunity!" The players watching the game on the sidelines applauded secretly.

"Flute!" Smith's whistle was always out of place, and Smith's angry voice rang out loud, "Stop!"

The old rules were the ones who kept in their original position, and Chen Junhao grabbed the ball in his hand after receiving the ball, and turned around to face Smith's serious face.

Smith asked, "Why are you passing the ball, Jack?"

Chen Junhao answered with confidence: "Because there is an open space in front of Jason, and I know that Jason has a nearly 100-shot shooting percentage at about 45 degrees outside the penalty area. I think this is the biggest opportunity to score."

"Very good!" Smith's voice was still very loud, "pass the ball to the best position and hand it to the person with the greatest chance. The ball was passed quite well."

Looking back, looking at Anthony, he shouted: "Jason, why are you passing the ball?"

Anthony said: "I think passing the ball to Jack has a better chance of scoring!"

"Shit!" Smith also swears and scolded, "Did you forget what your position is? Have you forgotten who you are? You are the ace forward of Missouri, you are the top scoring master in the United States. Even your teammates know that you can shoot at your position, but you choose to pass the ball yourself. Have you lost the confidence of a forward? If it were me, I will replace you immediately."

Anthony immediately replied loudly: "No, I haven't lost my confidence."

Smith said: "Then give me a bold shot. The tactics have changed, your position and your function has not changed. Your position is the forward, your function is to score points, score again. I allow you to miss the shot, but I don't allow you to hesitate when it's time to take action. I don't want to see the second time in the situation just now, have you heard?"

"Heard!" Anthony replied loudly.

Everyone looked at each other, and the same exquisite pass came two completely different results. "Coach Smith was biased?"

Smith looked back and looked around the people inside and outside the field and said, "Do you think I'm biased?"

"No!" everyone answered. No one was an outsider, so naturally he knew the reason for Smith's two reactions. One praises and one criticism, but they were both willing to accept it after hearing it. For Chen Junhao, Smith was the key position of the tactical core. For Anthony, Smith emphasized his ace forward and the first priority in offense scoring.

Training continues.

...

"Flute!" The whistle sounded from time to time. "Jack..." "Jason..." The scolding sounds continued. Chen Junhao was the person who was named the most, and as the training continued, Mike Carman became the person who was scolded from time to time, just like Anthony.

"Mike, what were you doing just now?" "Jason, what did you do?"

As the drill deepened, everyone gradually understood the so-called tactical changes and the differences in the past. Chen Junhao, who was originally a point guard, took a more important position in the new tactics. Passing, breaking, screening, and offensive scoring have been done before, but more must be done in the new tactics. With the first day of training, everyone was used to handing the ball over to Chen Junhao. Mario and Pierce were two people who were scolded less, but they did not have any time from beginning to end. Every time the whistle sounded, Smith had to arrange the running positions of the two people in detail.

After the one-hour drill, not only the players on the field were sweating profusely, but Smith also sweated soaked her sweatshirt. Then, the players on the field took turns to replace them, and the newly on-the-field players gradually became familiar with the new tactical routines in Smith's louder roar.

Smith did not explain his new tactical ideas throughout the afternoon of drilling, but just asked the players to go to the position where they were skilled in running and remember Smith's regulations. The most important thing was to let all the players remember this rule deeply: when the ball could not be handled by themselves, leave it to Jack and let him deal with it!

Smith's teaching method naturally makes sense. If he was watching right now, he would never believe it or admit that the tactics that Smith rehearsed were the ones he created in a straightforward manner. In fact, the tactics of Missouri's rehearsal are still far from what Smith thought.

The formation of new tactics cannot be achieved overnight, and Smith cannot have a month of free time to rehearse new tactics like honesty. Missouri has one or two games every week in the following time, and must win. In this way, Smith can only choose to proceed step by step and integrate the new tactic system into the existing tactics step by step.

Any tactic contains several similar elements: players run, pass, cooperate, cover... The existing tactical system is different from the new tactics that Smith wants to rehearse, but it has many similarities. With the help of existing tactical routines, new tactical ideas are integrated to change the entire tactical system of Missouri step by step. This is what Smith does now.

And the first step he did was: establish Chen Junhao's tactical core position.
