Chapter 9 Sparring

"This is the kid you recommended, and it's really strong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

The thin and thin little old man with a thin beard looked Yang Di up and down, he also couldn't believe it, the guy with the shiny head flashing in front of him was actually the eighteen-year-old Chinese boy that Carol said, of course, judging from his many years of acquaintance, this guy is more than two meters tall is completely in line with this job.

"How tall are you barefoot, young man?"

"About 2.03 meters, I haven't measured it for a long time, and it's not particularly clear."

Yang Di was also observing Coach Beau Ryan, who was not particularly stern on the outside.

The badger team college students who were training on the field secretly watched here from time to time, on the one hand, admiring a large number of beautiful Carol, and on the other hand, they were full of curiosity about Yang Di, who came with Carol, this yellow-skinned guy is more than two meters tall and looks like a basketball player.

"Uncle Ryan, this guy is definitely a very good guy, I think he's up to the job, I promise it." Carol faced Beau Ryan with an intimate and coquettish look, which surprised Yang Di, who speculated about the relationship between Carol and Beau Ryan, and at the same time secretly thanked Carol for his trust.

"I know that my consciousness is that if he wants to do this job well, he still needs a little bit of improvement and training before he can take up the job." Ryan looked at Carol with a kind smile on his face, in fact, he was already quite satisfied with the sparring of such a tall guy as Yang Di, but he was cautious by nature, and he always had a look on his face to investigate again.

Yang Di didn't understand, but Carol did understand what Ryan meant, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face again.

Carol and Ryan chatted for a while, Yang Di didn't interject, listened silently, and after a while, Ryan opened his mouth to ask Yang Di.

"Yang Di, have you ever played basketball before?"

"Yes coach, I learned some basketball basics." Yang Di replied truthfully.

"That's great," Ryan smiled on his thin face, "You know, this job is relatively simple, you're going to be a sparring partner for a University of Wisconsin player, and in short, it's a more basic job than a trainer, and I believe you can do it." ”

Yang Di was overjoyed: "I will work hard, coach." ”

"Well, this mental state is very good, come, first go to the field to warm up, and then we will start the most basic training." Ryan said kindly.

Yang Di nodded and turned to leave.

Ryan looked at Yang Di's back, staring at the ordinary sneakers on his feet, his face thoughtful.

……

Yang Di ran around the court seriously for two laps, at first there were some staring eyes, and then the players of the badger team were busy with their own training, so there was no intensive vision, just two or three tentative glances that occasionally popped up, which still made Yang Di a little uncomfortable.

"You need to finish the task of defending three-point shooting, so let's try it." Coach Ryan looked at Yang Di, who had meticulously completed two laps, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

Yang Di nodded, he knew that this was one of the most basic jobs of a sparring partner.

The three of them came to the side frame, and Coach Ryan beckoned to one of the team's players.

"This is Devin Harris from Wawasato, our Badgers' leading scorer, and he's going to be an important target if you work here in the future." Ryan made an introduction, and Yang Di couldn't help but take a few more glances at the somewhat thin looking college student.

"Hello, just call me Devon." Harris seemed to be very easy to get along with, and took the initiative to reach out and greet Yang Di. He still wondered in his heart, he hadn't heard that the team had recruited new people or had new students transfer over, it turned out that the team had found a sparring partner, and he was really a young sparring partner.

"My name is Yang Di, you can call me Dick Yang."

"Wow, great name, cool." Devin Harris's eyes lit up, "Do you know Yao Ming?" He's also from China, the big guy in Houston, he's amazing. ”

"Well, I know him, but I don't know him." Yang Di was slightly stunned, of course Yao Ming knew that he had just become the NBA draft champion this year, carrying China's basketball dream, and when he was talking to his younger siblings, he heard Yao Ming's message the most, which shows what Yao Ming is now popular in the mainland.

"That's a shame, come on, defend me and shoot."

Coach Ryan said on the side: "Yang Di, there are many kinds of three-point shooting, what you have to do is to simply reach out and interfere, no need to jump, no need to block, just interfere." ”

The synthesizer said: "Real-time tasks, interfere with the shooter - a good sparring partner should achieve near-perfect results, and the host learns to interfere with the shooting sparring and gets the approval of the head coach." Character Reward: Interfere with the ability to shoot increased. ”

Yang Di's eyes lit up, the reward for this task involved basketball skills, which was exactly what he needed now.

"Let's go!"

The other trainer shook his hand, and the basketball passed to Harris accurately and quickly, and Harris picked up the ball and threw it with a bang.

Yang Di, who was a meter away, had just raised his hand, and the speed of Harris's shot startled him a lot.

"Throwing it away, huh?" He thought it was an illusion, but behind him there was the crisp sound of a basketball entering the net.

"Concentrate, raise your hands a little faster." Coach Ryan outside the field gave a reminder, and Yang Di gritted his teeth, not convinced at all.

The sparring partner passed again, and Yang Di interfered with a small jump one meter away.

The ball didn't go in, and before Yang Di had time to be happy, Coach Ryan's voice rang out again: "You can't jump, stand in place to interfere, stretch your arms a little straighter, and your body can lean forward." ”

"Yes...... Instructor. Yang Di lowered his head and was deflated.

Harris's shot was extremely fast, and it was like a world of difference from those on the street court, Yang Di could do very little interference, but fortunately, he was tall and long-armed, and he could barely complete the task. The two of them practiced for five minutes, and when Harris felt it later, he was desperately scoring goals, and Yang Di seemed to have auditory hallucinations in his ears.

"It's not a bad sparring partner, I'll be looking for you to practice next time." Devin Harris walked away happily with a ball, he kind of liked this big man from China.

Yang Di felt that the coach was simply too good at playing, and this Devin Harris must be the sharpshooter of the Badgers.

He hung his head, and then came to Coach Ryan and Carroll on the sidelines, and he felt that his performance was terrible, and whether he could stay became a suspense.

Coach Ryan suddenly showed a satisfied smile on his face and stretched out his hand, "Congratulations, young man, I think you can do this job!" ”

Yang Di suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up, "Thank you so much, coach!" ”

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind the three people: "Coach, I'm afraid this guy won't be able to enter the working group of our badger team." ”

Yang Di was taken aback, and Carol and Ryan's faces were also a little uncertain, so he turned his head and walked a young man in his twenties.

He is handsome, with a high nose, thin lips, and eyebrows that are always raised. If I had to use derogatory language, it would be that it looks less majestic and has a somewhat thin figure. But some girls will like it, at least the world's popular one is this tall and thin type.

A trace of disdain flashed in his plain eyes, and he disappeared but was captured by the sensitive Yang Di.

"Is this the sparring partner you introduced? It doesn't look like a basketball player, and if I'm just looking for tall guys, I can pull a bunch on the streets of Madison. ”

The young man's tone was very flat, just like his gaze, but the meanness between his words was like the most vicious pit viper, attacking Yang Di, who had never met. Yang Di's brows furrowed deeply, and at the same time, there were also Carroll and Beau Ryan head coaches.

"Luke, you're going too far to say that about Yang Di. He has just completed the task assigned by Coach Ryan, which is obvious to all. Carol took a deep look at the man known as Luke, and became a little serious.

"After all, it takes a while to know if it's suitable." Coach Ryan was also a little dissatisfied with the assistant coach coming up to target a young man who met for the first time, but for the sake of the face that he had worked together for more than a year, it was not good to show his face.

Luke chuckled and raised his chin proudly, "I've heard of this guy, you caught him in the street fight before Carol, didn't you?" He also had a gangster background before, and he had a good relationship with the Firefoxes, Carol, I don't know if I'm right? ”

Yang Di and Carroll's faces changed at the same time, Luke really hit the nail on the head, which was also the last thing Carroll and Yang Di wanted Coach Ryan to know. After all, NCAA basketball is the purest form of basketball, and a head coach will never allow a stranger who likes to cause trouble on the team.

Sure enough, the next moment, Coach Ryan's gaze at Yang Di changed, and the initial warmth was gone, cold and piercing.

Yang Di's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden.
