Before science has developed to a certain level and genetic potions that change various functions of the human body are available, whether a person has athletic talent or not will determine whether a person can pursue the path of sports competition.
Of course, athletes like the beautiful country who are soaked in hormones are naturally a different matter.
What is basketball talent?
The first thing that pops up in most people's minds is either his height that tops the crowd, or his jumping ability that surpasses that of ordinary people.
They say basketball is a sport for big men, and this is absolutely true.
But there is another basketball talent, which is more important than height and jumping, but is often ignored by many people.
That’s wingspan!
He has a long wingspan, which is standard for NBA superstars.
Antetokounmpo is 211cm tall and has an astonishing wingspan of 228cm.
Durant, height 208cm, wingspan 225cm.
James, height 206, wingspan 214.
If these superstars are tall, they also have long arms.
Well, there are many players in the NBA who are 180-190cm tall. They also rely on their long wingspan to become All-Star players or even superstars.
Lillard's height is only 188cm, but his wingspan reaches 203cm.
Rondo's height is only 185cm, but his wingspan reaches 206cm.
Mitchell's height is only 185cm, but his wingspan reaches 208cm!
"Windy City Rose" Derrick Rose, the original savior of Chicago, is 188cm tall and has a wingspan of 203cm!
In basketball, a long-player sport, short players are not tall enough and must have wingspan to make up for it.
Being short but with a long wingspan, he will have unparalleled advantages in dribbling, shooting, stealing, etc.!
Is Xu Jie optimistic about Lin Weirui playing basketball?
Of course I’m optimistic!
He could see that Lin Weirui had monster-level basketball talent.
So where does Lin Weirui's monster-level basketball talent show up?
It’s his wingspan that is different from ordinary people!
Lin Weirui is only 185cm tall, but his wingspan reaches an astonishing 202cm!
On the basketball court, in the same position.
Every inch longer and every inch stronger is reflected in the wingspan!
The Dragon State men's basketball team has never produced a world-class defender!
Liu Wei, Dayao's original guard at the time, was 190cm tall and had a wingspan of 196cm.
This alone can be considered the top three defenders in CBA history!
Today's guard and flag-bearer Guo Ailun is the same as his predecessor Liu Wei, with a height of 190cm and a wingspan of 196cm.
Lin Weirui, on the other hand, is only 185cm tall but has a wingspan of 203cm.
With this talent, he is a small forward and a power forward!
Instead of practicing guard skills and becoming famous, why not imitate Duncan and Garnett?!
Does he have this ability?
No!
Therefore, when Xu Jie heard that Lin Weirui's idols were Duncan and Garnett, he was so angry that he vomited blood!
His template is Derrick Rose and Allen Iverson!
What a stupid power forward!
It’s amazing that you can learn how to play the board by following Duncan’s example!
In Xu Jie's eyes, Lin Weirui is a talented boy who has gone astray.
What he has to do is guide Lin Weirui onto the right path.
Xu Jie did not answer Lin Weirui's question, but asked with a smile:
"What do you think of Teacher's basketball game?"
As soon as Lin Weirui heard Xu Jie's question, his eyes lit up and he said:
"Teacher Xu, what about your basketball skills?"
"It's just..."
He paused, as if thinking about what word to use to describe it better.
"He is simply a master on the basketball court!"
"Well, Lord!"
Lin Weirui smiled and seemed very satisfied with the word he came up with to describe Teacher Xu.
Xu Jie left an indelible impression on the students in Class 9 during his physical education class.
On the basketball court, you can call the wind and rain, get whatever you want.
He's cool and elegant, he dunks hard and hard, he hits all the shots, he blocks shots with precision...
In their eyes, Teacher Xu is a god on the basketball court!
As a basketball lover, how could Lin Weirui not like and admire Teacher Xu!
Therefore, after winning the Single Subject Progress Award in this weekly exam, he did not choose to go to the e-sports room to play like other students in the dormitory, but chose to make a request to Teacher Xu!
What he wants is for Teacher Xu to teach him how to play basketball!
He wants to become a basketball master like Mr. Xu, who can come and go on the court like the wind and dominate the field!
"Then guess which basketball stars the teacher taught me?" Xu Jie asked with a smile.
Lin Weirui didn't know why Teacher Xu asked him this question.
But he thought about it, at Teacher Xu's age, he should like the basketball stars of the previous generation, right?
So, he tried to guess:
"Teacher Xu, don't you also like Duncan and Garnett?"
Lin Weirui felt happy when he thought of this possibility.
If Teacher Xu has the same preferences as myself, that would be a beautiful thing!
Xu Jie smiled and shook his head.
Duncan and Garnett, these two old men are really lovable, and he really likes them.
But at this time, in order to guide Lin Weirui, Xu Jie had to abandon these two old men!
"Emperor James?"
Xu Jie shook his head.
"Curry?"
Xu Jie still shook his head.
"Kobe? Wade? O'Neal? Dayao? Jordan?"
Xu Jie smiled and shook his head, not letting Lin Weirui continue to guess, "It's Allen Iverson!"
hiss……
Lin Weirui's eyes flashed with shock.
He started playing basketball when he was in junior high school.
At that time, Iverson had already retired!
But this did not prevent him from hearing about Iverson's deeds.
The top pick of the 1996 golden generation.
Breaking through the human form like a ghost.
One person can fight against the Lakers duo.
…
However, Iverson's era is too far away after all.
Lin Weirui was shocked, but he was a little confused.
Teacher Xu’s idol, why is this one?
"Do you know why I am so sharp when I break through others?" Xu Jie said with a smile.
Only he himself knows that it’s because of something wrong!
But it is impossible for him to educate and guide Lin Weirui like this!
Therefore, he attributes all this to his idol, Allen Iverson!
"Since I started playing basketball, I have practiced guard skills."
Xu Jie continued:
"You are the same height as me, 185cm."
"With such a height, I have a huge advantage on the school basketball court."
"But what is your goal?"
"To become a professional basketball player!"
"Don't talk about NBA, just CBA, Cuba, your height of 185cm, what is your advantage?"
"There is no advantage at all!"
"You just asked me why I can't practice basketball well? Why are my basketball skills so bad?"
"Then the teacher will tell you now."
"It's because your positioning of yourself is wrong!"
"On the wrong path, no matter how hard you work, you can only get the wrong results!"
Lin Weirui listened blankly to Teacher Xu's words.
It turns out that the reason why I don’t play basketball well is because I have a wrong self-positioning?
His father is 178cm tall and his mother is 172cm tall.
When he was in junior high school, his height jumped to 179.
But I don’t have any relatives or friends in my family who are engaged in basketball-related jobs or businesses.
His basketball enlightenment was the same as that of most teenagers in Dragon Country, NBA!
When he started playing basketball in junior high school, his classmates always asked him to stand under the basket.
Grab rebounds, block shots, defend!
Therefore, from the very beginning, he liked to watch videos of power forwards such as Duncan and Garnett and learn from them!
No one ever woke him up.
Tell him that he is not suitable to play power forward, or even small forward!
After entering high school, his height grew a few centimeters, reaching 185.
On the school basketball court, I was still called to the basket by my classmates!
Controlling the ball, dribbling, passing... those are things that only students under 180cm tall can do.
Over the past few years, he has long been accustomed to moving in the three-second zone under the basket.
Today, I heard what Teacher Xu said.
Lin Weirui suddenly realized that he had hit the wrong position from the beginning!
Does he believe Xu Jie?
believe!
Whether it was Teacher Xu's attitude towards them or Teacher Xu's god-like performance on the basketball court, Lin Weirui firmly believed in Xu Jie's words!
At this moment, it seemed as if a ray of light shone into Lin Weirui's heart.
This light allowed him to break through the fog and change his path from the wrong path.
