3 Chapter 3 - Varsity Team Tryout

Dribble Penetration is a technique that uses technical moves to get rid of the defense so that you can get closer to the basket while creating a better shooting space for yourself.

NBA star Allen Iverson is a dribble penetration master. He is only 183 cm tall. It is said his actual height might be a little shorter, perhaps only 180 cm, but he has the fastest speed in the NBA, coupled with superior skills, so His dribble penetration is extremely sharp, almost unstoppable in one-on-one situations.

In the NBA, Allen Iverson has a reputation as the "King of Speed". His wind-like speed and a dribble penetration that people can't respond to quickly made him a superstar.

But now Qin Hao's situation is somewhat similar to that of Iverson, short and fast, so if he wants the coach to be impressed and select him to enter the varsity team, he has to work on his dribble penetration.

Under the dim light, Qin Hao was training. He grabbed the basketball, quickly started from outside the three-point line, suddenly changed the direction of the dribble behind the back, and made a dribble penetration.

Whoosh.

The basketball dropped and flew out.

Qin Hao frowned. He hadn't adapted to his current physical state. His consciousness gave orders to his body to make a certain technical movement, but his body couldn't keep up with his consciousness, so he lost the ball.

This is not surprising. After all, returning to 15 years old, with the soul of an adult but the body of a teenager, he needs time to process the merger of the two and achieve complete coordination.

"Come again."

Qin Hao continued to try.

This time he did not use difficult dribble penetration movements, but started as simple as possible, holding the ball and starting outside the three-point line, the body changed direction, the right hand dribbled the basketball, and the orange basketball bounced off the ground. , Came to the left hand, accelerated with the trend, broke from the left, and then layup.

boom!

Failed to make progress.

"continue."

Qin Hao picked up the basketball, returned to the three-point line, tried again, with the same action, repeated again and again, with failures and successes. In this process, his consciousness began to merge with his body, and he became familiar with today's power, speed, explosive power, bounce, etc...

After dozens and hundreds of attempts, Qin Hao can easily complete the layup, but he is not satisfied: "There is still a problem with the rhythm, and the speed has not been fully utilized."

This is a boring process, but Qin Hao is not at all impatient. He has experienced accidents and suffered a comminuted fracture of his right leg. He can no longer play or run on the court. Now that he can embrace basketball once again and run wildly on the court, even if he is tired, Qin Hao is still happy.

Only if you have lost it, will you know how to cherish it more!

...

"Huh, huh..."

Half an hour later, Qin Hao stopped, gasping for breath, continuous dribble penetration training consumes a lot of physical energy, his clothes have been soaked with sweat, and sweat drips down his chin, forming a pool of water stains.

The training is not over yet.

After breathing for a while, Qin Hao picked up the basketball and started dribbling the ball on the spot.

One hand controls the basketball around the leg, dribbling the ball in a very low position, let the basketball pass-through between the legs, change the dribble with the other hand, change hands again after circling the leg, the two hands continuously rotate , Cyclically.

This is training the dribbling ability. Dribble penetration requires not only speed, but also excellent ball control ability. Without the ability to control the ball, dribble penetration is just a fantasy.

The low-position dribble puts a heavy load on the arm, and it does not consume much physical energy. After ten minutes, Qin Hao's physical fitness has recovered a little. He shook his sore wrist and began dribble penetration training again. Simple movements, continuous The ultimate goal of the exercise is to form muscle memory.

In another half an hour, Qin Hao ended his practice today.

"One hour of training is all about breaking through and controlling the ball. I didn't expect that the physical energy consumption would be greater than usual." Qin Hao leaned on his knees and muttered to himself with a smile.

He usually comes here to train every day, but the training is not targeted or even unprofessional, and the results can be imagined.

Now he naturally won't practice blindly as before, but instead has a planned and targeted training, including how long and to what extent he should practice, whether he has not done enough and whether he needs to improve. , He was clear in his heart.

"Training end's here today."

Qin Hao put away his basketball and rode home.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother Liu Huifang sitting on the sofa and watching TV. As usual, she was waiting for Qin Hao to come back. There was still food on the table, which was a supper for Qin Hao.

Seeing this familiar scene, Qin Hao suddenly felt a runny nose.

"Xiaohao." Liu Huifang got up, helped Qin Hao take down his schoolbag, and complained: "Going to practice basketball again? You are so late in your self-study, so what kind of basketball are you going to practice, don't delay your study."

"Mom, don't worry, I won't delay my study, I promise." Qin Hao grinned, "Where is dad?, is he on the night shift again?"

"Well, you go take a shower first, I'll heat up the food for you, and rest early after eating." Liu Huifang said, carrying the food to the kitchen.

Qin Hao's family is not wealthy. His mother and father are both working-class workers. His father often has to work night shifts, not to mention the hard work, but the salary is not high.

Therefore, his parents attach great importance to his studies, and hope that he can be promising, and in the future, he will be admitted to a good university and find a decent and easy job without having to work as hard as they do.

Qin Hao took a bath, and after supper, he returned to his room and hugged another basketball.

This basketball is unused and very clean. Qin Hao bought two specially, one for training and the other for holding and sleeping at night, which can cultivate the feeling of the ball.

"I'm only 15 years old, and there are still a few years before the Basketball Olympics. I have enough time to prepare for it. This time I will never be absent again. We must get the right to qualify for the group." Qin Hao was holding the basketball and his mind was upset. It took a while to calm down, "But the top priority now is the tryout of the varsity team next week. In addition, I have to think about how to improve the conditions at home..."

A few days passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past few days, Qin Hao was training apart from going to school. He got up at 6 o'clock in the morning to train, and then went to school when he was finished. He trained for another hour after evening self-study.

After a few days, Qin Hao has gained a lot. The dribble penetration has become more and more sharp. After the dribble penetration, the layup has become more and more certain, and his ball control skills have improved a lot.

With several days of training, Qin Hao has gradually adapted to his current physical state, making various technical movements no longer so rigid.

Although the only thing that can be achieved now is a dribble penetration, but with his basketball IQ, experience and awareness, he is already capable of playing the position of point guard.

At the same time, the varsity team tryout day has arrived.
