Chapter 766 [Like a cat that has just been castrated]
After playing basketball with Yang Jian for half an hour, Rukawa Kaede lowered his head and said nothing, sitting on the sidelines doubting life. If this was an animation, he would be as if he was petrified and colorless.
"Yang Jian wanted to laugh when she saw his desperate little expression, like a cat that had just been castrated and had no love left."
Rukawa Kaede raised his head. "You..."
"Hey, did I say it? Sorry, everyone likes to talk trash when we play in the United States. I'm used to it." Yang Jian said with a smile.
When the fight first started, Rukawa Kaede actually thought he could win. He knew nothing about the real power.
"..." Rukawa Kaede was so abused that she couldn't believe that this was true.
He now feels that he has no talent for playing basketball at all. Compared with Yang Jian, what kind of genius is he?
This half-hour one-on-one was the most terrifying experience in his life. He couldn't break through with fake moves, was intercepted, and blocked countless times. When he hit Yang Jian with the ball, it felt like he was hitting a wall, and the opponent couldn't even shake.
Shake it. Even if he avoided blocking and stealing, his shooting was seriously interfered with. Yang Jian's hand was always in front of his eyes, preventing him from seeing the basket.
Yang Jian had no way to attack Rukawa Kaede. He hit the basket and dunked. No matter whether Yang Jian broke through or hit him from behind, he couldn't guard him. He lost his center of gravity when he was hit. He watched helplessly as Yang Jian drove into the basket.
.
What's even more outrageous is Yang Jian's long-range shot. He wavered twice from the outside, stepped back to meet him, and shot forward in a swish.
Rukawa Kaede feels that he became a star before because his opponents were too weak, not because he was strong. Japan does not even have a professional basketball league, so how can it compare with American players?
He wanted to cry a little. He was actually an arrogant frog in the well, and he was too far away from his dream of becoming an NBA player.
Rukawa Kaede asked feebly: "Are all American high school students as strong as you?"
"How is it possible? I already told you that I am invincible. You actually performed pretty well, and I was even sweating." Yang Jian shook his arm. "I am now capable of playing in the NBA, and American coaches are convinced of this.
."
"Then why don't you play in the NBA?" Rukawa Kaede took a deep breath, and his eyes regained a little sparkle. At his age, it is not shameful to lose to people at the NBA level.
"Because the NBA draft has an age limit, the minimum age is 18 years old. No one has ever played in the NBA before graduating from high school." Yang Jian randomly found a reason that could not be verified.
"How much strength did you use just now?" Rukawa Feng knew very well that Yang Jian still had some strength left, and it was too easy to beat him, just like an adult beating a child.
When he faced Sendou Akira and Zebita Eiji, he was inspired to fight when he couldn't beat them, but now he is just desperate.
"Don't ask this question. If I had used all my strength, I would have pulled off the broken basket." Yang Jian smiled and told the truth.
It is impossible for anyone in Asia to make him give his best, and the same goes for the Japanese national team. He has participated in Asian-level competitions and played against the Japanese team, and it is still just fun.
The level of basketball in Asia is far worse than that in the NBA. There are a few players on the inside who are okay, but the physical fitness of the players on the outside is far behind and they can't play.
Rukawa Kaede sighed and asked: "What should I do to become as strong as you?"
You don’t even have a system and you still want to be as powerful as me? Just dream.
Yang Jian, the first player in the NBA to defeat Japanese high school students, will certainly not be proud of this. He always wants to leave people with some hope of survival. "You'd better gain muscle, improve your confrontation ability, practice shooting hard, and develop a game that suits you."
The ultimate trick. To put it simply, you need to have efficient scoring methods."
Rukawa Kaede asked: "Then what is your special move?"
Without further ado, Yang Jian took the ball and performed a 360-degree reverse dunk. "Don't imitate me, all my techniques are unique."
Rukawa Kaede's eyes were confused and he didn't know what his special move was.
He is good at everything and masters nothing.
Yang Jian feels that Rukawa Kaede is actually a convulsive player with a very casual style of play. His scoring efficiency is not as good as Hisashi Mitsui. When he is in good condition, he scores continuously. When he is in bad condition, he is like a blacksmith and lacks physical strength.
"Do you still want to fight? If you want to fight, I will teach you a technique that can break through even if you don't have a strength advantage."
"Of course I want to fight." Rukawa Kaede regained a little energy. He was no match for Yang Jian, but he had a teacher who could help him improve his strength.
"I'll try it a few times for you to get a feel for it. This move doesn't require strength to overwhelm people, and it doesn't need to be very fast. It relies on rhythm and change of direction. Because it was invented by European players first, it's called the European step."
The "Euro Step" technique has never appeared in Slam Dunk comics. Rukawa Kaede and Miyagi Ryota's breakthrough moves are basic moves. The only fancy moves are dribbling behind the back and passing through the crotch.
Yang Jian didn't use strength to bully others. Rukawa Kaede who used the European step could not find the north. Yang Jian's European step did not just change direction while running. If the opponent did not move sideways in the first step, he would move towards the same direction in the second step.
Quickly passed the ball in the direction and got out of position for a layup.
This trick is simple and practical. Yang Jian used it five times, but Rukawa Kaede still couldn't think of a defensive method. He shot the ball twice, took two steps to combine the ball, and then broke through for a layup. Even if it was an ordinary layup, Rukawa Kaede couldn't block it.
Arrive, always one step slower.
Rukawa Kaede tried the European step, but he was a little unfamiliar and couldn't grasp the rhythm well. If he wanted to develop this into a unique skill, it would not happen overnight.
Rukawa Kaede wanted to learn two more moves, so Yang Jian taught him a step-back jumper with a cross-step and a dribble breakthrough from behind.
Seeing that it was already an hour later, Yang Jian smiled and said: "You can practice by yourself. I'll find a place to play. I won't have dinner with you tonight. You don't need to practice too much on your skills. Guaranteeing your shooting percentage is the key."
"I will try my best, thank you." Rukawa Kaede stopped talking about a one-on-one fight. The gap was too big and there was no point in a one-on-one fight. Unless he was strong enough to resist Yang Jian, he would definitely not be able to defeat him.
In the comics, Rukawa Kaede rarely shows off wonderful dribbling breakthroughs and fake moves. Most of the time, he uses his talent to force breakthroughs with his explosive first step.
There is actually a gap between Rukawa Kaede's dribbling ability and Sendou Akira's, let alone Mu Shinichi's.
In the match against Sanno Kogyo, facing Eiji Sawabita, who also had excellent physical fitness, Rukawa Kaede was at a loss when he couldn't break through his opponent with the first dribble.
As long as Rukawa Kaede can practice several of the techniques taught by Yang Jian, he will definitely become a top-notch person among Japanese high school students.
Yang Jian is only interested in teaching Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi. The talent of the other three people is lost at the starting line and they cannot play professionally. Especially Miyagi Ryota, Yang Jian feels that this guy should not be on the field. He is 168cm and has not been used as a defensive black hole.
It's a miracle to hit.
Yang Jian knew that Rukawa Kaede was as paranoid as Kobe Bryant and would probably have to fight until dark before going home, so he was too lazy to care about him. After being abused once, it was better for him to stay quiet now.
Yang Jian rode his bicycle around and visited Kanagawa Prefecture in this way. This place is not big, with a population of less than 10 million, and its area is equivalent to the size of a third- or fourth-tier city in China, or even worse.
He wants to see what fun places there are, and he can't always do activities near his residence and school. He doesn't plan to change the place where he lives, because it is close to the school and is very convenient.
Yang Jian became a lonely gourmet, so she found a popular restaurant at night and ordered salt-roasted pork with lemon juice, pork soup, fried mixed vegetables, and rice.
In 1992, there was nothing interesting to do and there was no Internet, so he could only eat delicious food. Relying on his super memory, Yang Jian could also find his way back at night, and ride his bike slowly to eat.
He was thinking while riding his bike. After torturing Rukawa Kaede, he wanted to deal with Takenori Akagi even more.
Yang Jian felt that Akagi was a fool without self-awareness. This guy who was eliminated in the first round every year and couldn't lead his teammates actually shouted the slogan "Dominate the country" every day.
Is Akagi's dream touching? He has been shouting for several years. When he was a freshman in high school, he hit his feet while dribbling and couldn't make free throws. Has this guy really practiced basketball hard?
Moreover, Akagi has always stayed in Kanagawa, and he doesn't even know the level of the players in the national competition. On the other hand, Makoto Shinichi, the core of a strong team, will take the newcomers to other places to gain experience.
In order to prevent Akagi from acting like the captain after joining the team, Yang Jian had to let him know who was the boss.
