McNamara was more professional than Suhi. He arranged many conical barrels on the court. After warming up, he began to shuttle among the conical barrels, sometimes accelerating, sometimes changing direction... it was dazzling.
His dribbling is simple and clean.
Cutting routes are swift.
Su Xi watched for a long time and said to McNamara: "Is this your training method? I want to learn it."
He is very direct.
This directness surprised McNamara. He wondered: Are all people in New York State so direct?
Not really.
Just Suzy.
Su Xi's mentality is different from normal people. He believes that he is already a 'quasi-basketball god' and will win a championship in the NBA within five years. Therefore, when it comes to basketball matters, don’t waste time making excuses. If you have any questions, just say it directly. The more efficient the better.
"sure."
McNamara gave Su Xi a drill. This was a change of direction assault method that simplified the complex. Su Xi did not learn it smoothly at first. Because he has always played with people who are physically stronger than himself, he has to use complicated techniques to find space, and he is not very good at subtraction.
McNamara looked at it and shook his head.
But he was a devout Catholic and he went to church every week. Arrogance is not his character. He patiently taught Su Xi some details.
Suzy's training is getting better and better.
McNamara's teaching style is better than that of Syracuse's assistant coaches, of course, because Syracuse's assistant coaches will not focus on Sushe.
After practicing for about half an hour, Su Xi was meticulous and practiced patiently over and over again.
McNamara has already seen that his teammate's level is relatively average, his speed is average, and his explosive power is medium. He is probably a fringe player on the team.
Moreover, my physical fitness seems to be not very good.
After practicing for half an hour, he sat on the sidelines to rest again.
But after a while, he stood up energetically.
"Let's challenge each other."
kindness?
McNamara was stunned. He thought to himself: Challenge me to a duel? One-on-one with the best scorer in Pennsylvania high school basketball? are you sure?
"Yes, that's right. You are a very good player. If you can beat me, maybe you can join the Orangemen. You should get such an opportunity." Su Xi said to him: "I can see that you are a good person. .”
Su Xi's praise came out of the blue.
McNamara has never been dealt such a good guy card.
But it worked for him.
Recognition from strangers who don't know him is far more pleasurable than someone who flatters him because of his name.
The duel begins.
Suhi gave McNamara the first kickoff.
McNamara is worthy of being the top scorer in high school basketball. He suddenly pressed down in front of Su Xi. His rapid change of focus caused Su Xi's defensive focus to be affected. Immediately, he accelerated suddenly, and his medium-to-high explosive power instantly cut through Su Xi's defense.
Su Xi turned around to pursue, and McNamara had already completed a jumper from the free throw line.
Oh, hit.
McNamara has a textbook shot.
Su Xi looked at McNamara in surprise, with a sincere expression of joy on his face, because the moment McNamara flashed away from him, he felt that Reggie's explosive talent left in his body was also He was very excited, and there were faint signs of breaking through the fusion.
He quickly woke up the elf.
The elf then reads McNabara's talent.
Elite speed talent.
Elite agility talent.
Excellent coordination talent.
Excellent physical talent.
Excellent jumping talent.
Excellent flexibility talent.
Elite strength talent.
Elite explosive talent.
The elf said: "The explosive power of this opponent is stronger than the explosive power of your current fusion, so when he activates it instantly, it accelerates your fusion. You can keep training with him."
"Guard him, feel his power, and you will accelerate your integration."
The elf's explanation made Su Xi overjoyed.
When the elf fell into a deep sleep.
He smiled and looked at McNamara, then gave him a thumbs up. "Very good, come again!"
Um?
McNamara thought Su Xi would give up and this goal was enough for him to see the huge gap between the two.
However, he actually gave himself another thumbs up and said he would continue.
McNamara thought Susie was hilarious.
He gave the ball to Su Xi and said, "Let me see your offensive strength."
Suhi passed the ball back to McNamara: "No. You continue to attack and I will defend you."
Um?
McNamara's brain was a little blocked again, and he thought to himself: What happened to this handsome guy? Does he like to be banged up by me?
McNamara caught the basketball and he continued his attack.
It was still a light test, and then he quickly flashed away. His explosive power was much stronger than Su Xi. After all, he was Mr. Basketball in Pennsylvania.
But the moment McNamara passed Su Xi, Su Xi felt a real jump: his explosive talent fusion increased from 60% to 61%.
Just improve it a little bit.
Su Xi was so happy that he quickly pursued her. This time, his pursuit speed was also increased a little. He chased into the paint, but was unable to stop McNamara from switching hands for a layup.
After McNamara scored, he looked at Su Xi and raised his eyebrows. He wanted Su Xi to retreat.
However, what he saw was still a smiling face of pure joy. Su Xi gave a thumbs up: "You are awesome, come again!"
Su Xi praised from the bottom of her heart.
This is a compliment that McNamara has not received in many years. In the past, when he passed his opponents, all he saw were frustrated and even resentful expressions on his opponents' faces.
But now, Su Xi is so innocent.
McNamara thought in his mind: Although this guy is terrible at football, he is a true person of God. He has a broad heart and the innocence of a baby.
Therefore, he decided to continue the duel with this guy.
Su Xi still couldn't defend him, but he would sincerely praise McNamara every time, never getting frustrated or losing his temper. McNamara had never seen this type of player. Suhi was so sincere, friendly, hard-working and committed.
Aside from his poor basketball skills, he's a perfect guy.
Moreover, McNamara discovered that this handsome boy's defense was improving, his judgment of the ball path was correct, and his reaction speed was getting faster.
The two sparred for half an hour.
Su Xi's explosive power value increased from 60% to 63%, which made Su Xi ecstatic. He had not improved for a long time.
However, Susie was a little tired, and he said to McNamara: "Take a break for 10 minutes, and then we will continue, okay?"
McNamara pointed at the panting Su Xi: "You are so tired, can you rest for 10 minutes?"
"Yes!" Su Xi replied firmly.
Su Xi was struck by lightning once, which lasted for 23 minutes. She was in agony. However, he also became energetic and his mind was very clear. The important thing is that his 'blood recovery' is very fast. Although his physical fitness is not good, he can recover quickly as long as he sits there and rests for ten minutes. Of course, the most important thing is that the crazy thunderstorm and lightning changed his temperament. He became very popular with girls. Women like to stay with him. They also say that he has a special smell... very attractive.
McNamara sat next to him. Ask him: "Are you a member of the Orange team?"
"Yes." Su Xi replied: "However, my level is the worst in the Orange team. I came in through the back door."
Suchy was candid and told McNamara: "If you ignore the quality of the Orange's regular players because of me, you would be making a big mistake."
McNamara smiled. He then asked Su Xi: "I heard that the greatest star in the history of the Orange team is Reggie Weems. How do you think my strength compares with him?"
Mention Reggie Weems.
Su Xi was silent for a while, but he didn't hide anything: "I was recruited into the team by Reggie Weems with his privileges."
"I'm sorry." McNamara reached out and patted Su Xi on the shoulder.
"Although some words coming from my mouth are not objective, one thing is clear. Reggie's physical fitness is much, much better than yours," Su Xi said.
Su Xi has found out: McNamara's explosive power is about 78%, using Reggie Weems as a reference.
The elf has just been confirmed, and McNamara's explosive power is only at an elite level. In the Elf basketball system, there is excellence above the elite, top level above the excellence, and super level above the top level. There's a difference of three levels.
McNamara shrugged, not denying it. "Reggie's physical fitness is indeed very strong, which is why he was the favorite to be the No. 1 pick."
McNamara was a bit sad.
He is a white man, and the hardest thing about him is his physical limit. He knows that with his skills and shooting level, he will have no problem in the high school basketball world. He can become a star by entering the NCAA, but the NBA will not easily give him a ticket. Because the NBA has very high requirements for physical fitness, a large number of people without physical talent will be eliminated.
It was as if now, McNamara suddenly felt empathy for Susie.
Su Xi faced him just like he faced the NBA.
However, what he didn't know was. In theory, Suhi has a better chance of entering the NBA than he does.
After resting for about 10 minutes, Su Xi stood up and said, "Let's continue."
McNamara was a little surprised: "Have you rested?"
Su Xi did two squats: "No problem at all."
McNamara felt that Susie was a monster and that this kind of resilience was terrifying. He was obviously out of breath just now.
Their duel continues.
McNamara is very focused on offense, and Suhi devotes 100% of his energy to defense. He goes all out.
Another half hour of fighting.
Although Suhi's explosive talent only increased to 64%, Suhi interfered with McNamara on the last ball, and McNamara's layup was destroyed by Suhi.
McNamara was tired, he was a white defender, and his physical reserves were not adequate.
"Okay, that's it for today."
McNamara said to Susie.
Su Xi was a little reluctant to leave, but he continued: "Are you coming tomorrow? I still want to challenge you. If it's not possible here, you can go to the outdoor basketball court."
Su Xi is very sincere.
McNamara smiled and replied: "If there are no accidents, I will come every day. Nice to meet you, my name is Gerry McNamara."
"Me too. My name is Su Xi, Jack Su!"
Susie stretched out her hand, shook hands with McNamara and bumped their chests. Although they had only met for the first day, the seeds of friendship were already germinating.
Head coach Jim Bonham is sitting in the office in the upper center of the arena. He is holding a cup of coffee and watching the entire training process in the arena below. He focused on it from the first pitch when Soucy and McNamara singled.
This is a unique trial.
Coach Jim is very satisfied with McNamara's control of the offense. He likes McNamara's textbook-like shooting.
However, later on, he couldn't help but admire Su Xi, who had been trying his best to defend.
Su Xi is a supporting role in this duel, even a bit like a clown, because he can't defend at all.
However, he brought a "Don Quixote" feeling to Bonham, and he admired this warrior who kept attacking.
He was moved by Su Xi's tenacity.
Moreover, he saw Su Xi's progress.
Su Xi has made great progress. His judgment of the defensive ball path and his tracking after losing his position are both improving.
"As expected of a young man who even rejects beautiful women's confessions."
"I should give this kid a chance."
"After all, apart from me, I have never seen a young man who loves basketball so purely."
